Chapter 448: Seeking Advice
"Senior brother, can you let me see your chaihu?" Gu Ye asked kindly.
The young man looked at the medicine man's suit on her body, frowned, and although he was a little impatient, he still put the chai hu on the stall so that she could watch it.
Those who come to this kind of pharmacist gathering want to learn from others and gain something through mutual communication. Probably, he regarded Gu Ye as a little pharmacist who wanted to ask him for advice on the concoction techniques of Chai Hu, right?
The little pharmacist's chai hu is the most common vinegar-burned chai hu, and there is no difficulty in the preparation method, but the grasp of the heat is not so accurate. When it was fried, the fire was slightly bigger, and the bupleurum was too dry, losing part of the medicinal properties.
"You Chai Hu ......" Gu Yegang wanted to help him with a few words, but was interrupted impatiently by him.
"I'm too busy to answer your questions. You go somewhere else! After the little pharmacist finished speaking, he picked up the chaihu again, walked towards an intermediate pharmacist who looked very good at talking, saluted modestly, and showed his chaihu to the other party.
Gu Ye is embarrassed, super embarrassed! It's so kind to be struck by lightning! However, she glanced down at her unadorned pale blue collar and shook her head with a smile.
"That...... Can the girl help me look at my medicine? Behind her, a young man with a washed collar and patches on his clothes looked at her with a smile and a slight apprehension.
Gu Ye looked left and right and pointed to himself: Is it her? Is it for her to help with the medicine? Her gaze rested on the three lingzhi patterns on the other party's collar. There is actually a third-level pharmacist, ask her for advice?
The young man pursed his lips and smiled a little shyly, and said in a low voice: "I was outside the golden jade hall, and I once saw the girl fighting medicine with the people of the Yellow Gate......" Gu Ye's eyes were suddenly revealed. I see!
Gu Ye smiled at him and motioned for him to bring the medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs brought by the boy were four types of incense. Fourth, the incense is generally used for menstrual water imbalance, qi stagnation, pregnancy typhoid fever, and pulse injury......
But the other party's four systems of incense are attached, Gu Ye always feels weird. She picked up a piece, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently, slowly put it down, and asked, "These four incense sticks are concocted...... You can't figure it out yourself, right? ”
The young man scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I bought the four kinds of incense from the pharmacy and tried it out little by little......"
"Did you know that the way of medicine is a thousand miles away? It is good to be enterprising, but the medicinal materials made by our pharmacists are related to the patient's condition and the patient's life. A little mistake will not be beneficial to the condition at least, and it will be a mistake for people's lives...... "Gu Ye didn't want to see a humble young man go astray in order to pursue a higher pharmacist level. I couldn't help but mention it.
The other party's face was slightly pale, and he slumped for a moment, and asked softly: "Girl, is there a big problem with my four incense sticks?" ”
"There is no big problem. Well, it doesn't do much good for the condition. Gu Ye put down the incense attachment in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the young man. With only the four incense attachments he bought, he can do this step, and the young man still has some talent. With a little guidance, there should be no problem in advancing to the middle pharmacist.
For all pharmacists, Level 4 is a watershed. If a low-level pharmacist does not have the support of his master or family, it is almost impossible to advance an inch. Practicing requires a lot of crude medicine, and low-grade herbs can't be sold at a price.
The young man's family background is not very rich, and there is no one to guide him, so he dares to challenge the complex concoction method of the four incense attachments, which is very courageous. The hardships can also be imagined!
"This incense attachment is actually a failure, isn't it?" In fact, before Gu Ye, the young man was already cheeky and invited a few intermediate or senior pharmacists to help him read it. From their eyes and expressions, there was something in his heart that he didn't understand.
But...... In order to study the method of making four incense sticks, he poured almost all of his family's savings. In order to raise money for him, his mother did embroidery until late at night, and her eyes were burned by oil lamps......
This time when I came to Beijing, my mother borrowed money everywhere to make up enough money for the journey. If he can't break through the primary level and be promoted to the intermediate pharmacist at this big medicine meeting, he is riddled with debts, and he is afraid that he will no longer have the ability and energy to rush to a higher pharmacist level. He eventually became a junior pharmacist......
He was really unwilling, and the old pharmacist who taught him medicine once said that he was talented. It's a pity that the old pharmacist only taught him for a year before he died......
He was able to achieve a good score as a third-level pharmacist in the pharmacist assessment two years ago, which was the result of his efforts. I have talent and hard work, but unfortunately it is in vain without good master guidance. For a while, he was a little depressed - people, can't they earn their lives after all?
Gu Ye couldn't bear to see the young man decadent, there was no way, who made her soft-hearted?
"Actually, it can't be regarded as a completely failed drug, it's just that because of the improper processing method, the medicinal properties have not been fully utilized." Gu Ye's words made the young man with his head hanging his head raise his head again. A pair of inquisitive eyes looked at her steadily.
"The so-called four systems are made by mixing ginger juice, rice vinegar, rice wine, and salt water, moistening it, and then stir-frying. It's good that you're able to do this without anyone to guide you. However, there is a certain difference in the proportion of ginger juice and brine water. ”
The boy watched her quietly, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart. Perhaps, this girl who is much younger than him is the noble person of his life. His instincts told him that her next words would benefit him for the rest of his life. The boy was so engrossed in it that he didn't dare to miss a word she had said.
The young man's studious eagerness strengthened Gu Ye's desire to pull him in his heart. She paused and continued: "The ratio of incense to ginger is twenty to one. In other words, twenty catties of incense need one pound of ginger juice to soak. Rice vinegar and wine need two catties, and table salt, only four taels, melted with water, mixed with infusion......"
The boy repeated the data in his mind quickly and silently. It's so important to him! Unexpectedly, in the end, it was a little girl in her cardamom years who solved his doubts. The boy raised his eyes to look at his "benefactor".
There was a faint smile on the little girl's cheeks, and a ray of sunlight shone on her face, reflecting her eyes shining. Many years later, when he recalls the past with his disciples and grandchildren, he can still remember that early autumn morning, the empty courtyard and the crowded crowd seem to have faded away, and only those bright eyes are forever fixed in his memory.
