Chapter 75: If you have the guts, you will take the medicine

Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand and smiled: "Say something that offends the old man, the concoction method that your bank knows, I'm afraid I also know it, I asked the old man about the concoction method, not to steal the craft, but to really want to help the old man see where the problem is." You should know that Aconitum and Aracea are both highly poisonous medicines, and if they are not done well, they will cause great harm to the body. The ash cannon burning method used by your bank cannot effectively remove the poisonous surname in the aconite, judging from the reaction after taking it from the old man, it is drug poisoning. It is likely to be related to the improper preparation method of Aconitum and Aracea. ”

Zhu Medicine Cabinet squinted at Zuo Shaoyang, and said lightly: "It seems that the old man is out of sight, it turns out that Xiao Langzhong is still an expert in concocting medicinal materials, admire!" That's right, when we concoct aconitum, we do use the method of simmering ash artillery. I wonder what's wrong? ”

Zuo Shaoyang naturally wouldn't tell the other party such an important trade secret as the correct processing method just like this, and changed the topic with a smile: "Uncle, I don't know how your Aracea is concocted?" ”

Zhu Medicine Cabinet was stunned and said: "Tiannanxing also has to be concocted?" ”

Aracea is the tuber of a plant called Aracea, which is a poisonous herb that is recorded as early as the Shennong Classic of Materia Medica. However, before the Tang Dynasty, the processing method of Aracea was limited to the most basic purification treatment of removing the stems and roots, the outer skin, washing and drying. It was only at the end of the Tang Dynasty that methods such as frying yellow with lime appeared. So I wish the medicine cabinet to hear Zuo Shaoyang say that it is going to be concocted, which is very unexpected.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and nodded: "Of course it must be concocted, and it must be concocted seriously, because you also know that Aracea is poisonous." It must be concocted to detoxify, and the Aracean raw service will numb the tongue, and it must also be concocted to remove the hemp. You take the medicine and your tongue is numb, but I am afraid that one of the reasons is that you use an unconcocted Aracea! ”

"Yesβ€”β€”?" Zhu Medicine Cabinet dragged out his voice. Looking at Zuo Shaoyang's expression, it was also a little strange, and it was more of a taste of ridicule, obviously not believing what Zuo Shaoyang said.

Paoanan is somewhat similar to Aconite, but also to soak in water for a long time, during which to add alum, after soaking, add ginger slices and alum to the pot to boil, and then pour the soaked Aracea and cook until there is no dry heart. Adding alum is the key link to remove hemp. These are simple to say, but the concoction technology is often just a piece of paper, and it is nothing to put it bluntly, but you can only stare dryly.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Uncle, how did you concoct this **?" ”

"Haha, listen to you, could it be that this ** is also concocted?" I wish the medicine cabinet to smile dumbly, and I feel that this is the best part, so I hurriedly restrained my smile again.

"Of course." Zuo Shaoyang sighed and shook his head, "The little nephew now understands why the old man vomits so soon after taking the medicine, because taking raw ** will stimulate the stomach and intestines, and it can easily lead to vomiting!" ”

It is a kind of resin secreted by a tree called a tree, which is dried and made. It is a commonly used medicine to promote blood circulation and relieve pain, reduce swelling and build muscles. However, this medicine is very hard, not easy to crush, because it is a resin medicine, and can not be calcined and crushed, in the Tang Dynasty, the main processing method is to grind the method, mash it and grind it slowly.

Due to the pungent smell and irritation to the stomach, it is easy to cause vomiting after taking it, and the processing method is improper, and the volatile oil will flow away, reducing the pain-relieving effect. The preparation method is relatively easy to put it bluntly, that is, mash the **, put it in a wok, heat it with a simmer first, fry it until it smokes, the surface of the drug is slightly dissolved, and then spray a little rice vinegar, and then fry it. Fry until the surface of this ** is oily and shiny, take it out and let it cool, and then you can use it.

After the Song Dynasty, the method of vinegar moxibustion was slowly summarized by various doctors after long-term repeated practice. It can not only correct the taste, relieve the irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, effectively prevent vomiting, but also increase the effect of blood circulation and pain relief.

Zhu medicine cabinet hugged his shoulders with both hands, and looked at Zuo Shaoyang with interest: "Hehe, according to what you say, this myrrh and earth dragon, I'm afraid it also needs to be concocted?" ”

Myrrh is similar to **, it is a resin called myrrh tree, and the Tang Dynasty's preparation of myrrh is the same as **, but it is ground into fine powder. The earth dragon is also the earthworm, and the Tang Dynasty's concoction of the earth dragon is to remove the soil and then cut it finely.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Almost every kind of medicinal material needs to be concocted, such as this myrrh, the smell is strong, if it is not concocted, raw use also has a strong irritation to the stomach, and can also cause nausea and vomiting." Raw dragon is directly decocted, firstly, it is not easy to fry the active ingredients out of the raw product, and secondly, the fishy smell is too great, and it is very unappetizing to decoction directly, and it will also cause nausea and vomiting. Therefore, these two flavored medicines also need to be concocted. ”

Zhu medicine cabinet smiled, leaned over and looked at Zuo Shaoyang: "This earth dragon, it smells fishy and is very delicious, this is the truth, as for what you said, other medicines also need to be concocted, otherwise how to do it, and say something you may not like to hear, the old man doesn't believe it." ”

In the early Tang Dynasty, when the preparation method was relatively backward, people at this time had never heard of it, especially from the mouth of a little man who rang the bell and walked the streets and alleys to practice medicine, it was even more unbelievable.

Zuo Shaoyang was young and vigorous, especially when he said that these things were real, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, straightened his waist, and said lightly: "Uncle doesn't believe it, I can't help it, if Uncle has the courage to take a few of my medicines, maybe he can know that I am not lying." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yaojie squinted his head and saw that he looked confident, remembering that he had diagnosed the disease accurately just now, and it didn't seem to be just a mouthful, and what he just said was not like nonsense, so he couldn't help but rub his beard and groan.

The fat tea guest next to him smiled: "Okay, Xiao Langzhong, you don't need to use the radical method, it is you, it is your father's prescription, and the medicine cabinet will not be eaten, this Hezhou Mansion is one hundred and ten pharmacies, he only recognizes Huimin Tang Doctor Ni." Moreover, the medicine cabinet has always only prescribed prescriptions and not medicines, this medicine is eaten from their own pharmacy, the medicine from other medicine stores, even if it is said to be out of the blue, the medicine cabinet will not be eaten, whether it can cure the illness is secondary, mainly in case there is something wrong with the medicine, eat a three long and two short, then it is not wronged. ”

The fat tea guest tilted his head and glanced at the medicine cabinet, and saw that he stroked his beard and smiled silently, so he knew that he had said that he was in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Langzhong, you just said that this medicine should also be concocted, and that medicine will not work if it is not concocted, so do you Guizhitang also use these concocted medicinal materials?" If the medicinal herbs concocted according to your method have such benefits, why don't many of you in Guizhitang come to seek medical advice? Hehehe"

Zuo Shaoyang squinted at him, stood up, and said coldly: "My Guizhi Hall will have a day that will impress Your Excellency!" Leave! With that, he put the medicine box on his back, picked up the bell and bell, turned around and left.

The fat tea guest was stunned, looked at the medicine cabinet, and the medicine cabinet was also stunned, and then laughed: "Have a temper, a surname, and courage!" Hahaha - Xiao Langzhong, come back, you don't have to leave if you don't speculate. You haven't drunk your tea yet...... ”

Zuo Shaoyang was walking towards the front hall, and suddenly stopped, and saw the young woman standing outside the door with Sang Xiaomei looking at him, and couldn't help but be happy.

The young woman looked at the medicine cabinet and said loudly to Zuo Shaoyang: "Xiao Langzhong, come, give my little sister a look at the disease, my little sister is not afraid of death, and has the courage to drink your medicine!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang nodded happily, followed the young woman into the front hall, and went up the stairs next to him. Only the embarrassed medicine cabinet and the fat tea guest in the backyard were left looking at each other.

Mother Sang, who was carrying a copper kettle in the outer hall, looked at Zuo Shaoyang with confused eyes and followed her daughter-in-law upstairs, she didn't pay attention to what they said before, and looked at Father Sang behind the counter with some confusion. He whispered, "Why did he go?" ”

"Shh Father Sang heard them talking, knew that Xiao Langzhong went to see a doctor, signaled not to make a sound, pointed upstairs, and said in a low voice: "Go to see a doctor for my little sister!" ”

Sang Mu pursed her lips and whispered a little proudly: "I understand, we can't give the medicine money later, anyway, he wants to see it himself, and we didn't invite it!" ”

"That's it!" Father Sang said with a smile, "This young man has no idea, we don't mention it, he doesn't dare to ask us for medicine." Another savings. Hey, hey, hey."

Sang Mu's head was like an old hen pecking rice, and she looked up at the stairs again, clasped her hands in front of her chest, thought about it, frowned, and said in a low voice: "You have to be careful!" I see that the three girls are a little interesting to this little man, don't steal the chicken and the rice, and turn around and hide that we eloped with this kid! ”
