Qingzhi looked at Lin Taoyin and saw that he was about thirty years old, and his long and narrow eyes shone with wisdom.

She asked, "I wonder what issues Master Lin wants to discuss with the grass people?" ”

Lin Taoyin took a sip of the wine in the cup in front of him and said, "Doctor Kong, I often use fresh herbs and some dry ones, why do I need to use them?" There is another situation, the same herb, fresh herb and dried herb, but the cure is different, why is it? Could it be that in the process of drying, the herbs have undergone some kind of change? ”

Qingzhi replied to him: "The question asked by Master Lin probably hasn't even been considered by many doctors. ”

At this time, Ma Jundu commanded Shi Gao Muyuan and said: "This question can also be asked by Master Lin, it must be that he has studied herbal medicine very well, and he has never considered such a problem." Dr. Kong, I wonder if you can solve the puzzle for Mr. Lin? ”

The tone of the latter sentence seems to say, this kind of problem is probably going to stump Dr. Kong.

Qingzhi calmly replied, "The ingredients of fresh herbs and dried herbs are not the same. Many of the ingredients of fresh herbs are not stable enough and can be lost or changed during drying or processing. ”

Lin Taoyin asked: "What do you mean by those ingredients that Dr. Kong said?" ”

Qingzhi said in her heart, if she said modern words, would she scare everyone around her?

But if you don't talk about it now, it seems that you will be underestimated again.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to pick a few things that would be easy for them to accept: "These ingredients are starches, fats, sugars, tannins, cellulose, etc. ”

Lin Taoyin opened his mouth and said, "Lin doesn't seem to have heard much of these words said by Dr. Kong......

Qingzhi said: "It's just a medical name, such as starch, in fact, everyone knows, such as sweet potato vermicelli, which is a kind of starch, wheat, rice, corn and other foods, which contain the most starch." ”

Lin Taoyin said: "I understand, starch is a thing that can make people full. ”

Qingzhi said: "Yes." ”

Lin Taoyin asked, "What about the others?" ”

Qingzhi said: "Dr. Lin might as well think of fat as meat, sugar as icing, tannin as tree bark, cellulose as the most abundant thing in vegetables and fruits, and so on." ”

Lin Taoyin asked: "So, Dr. Kong also saw it in ancient medical books?" ”

Qingzhi said: "Well......"

Lin Taoyin asked again: "What are the common unstable fresh products?" ”

Qingzhi replied to him: "For example, nepeta, forsythia, asaroxin, skullcap, salvia, wolfberry, dandelion, etc., are all unstable herbs, and the composition of fresh and dried products is quite different.

As for what Master Lin said just now, the medicinal effects of some herbs are different from those of fresh and dried herbs, and this situation exists in many herbal medicines.

For example, fresh buttercup can be applied externally to acupoint foaming to treat stomach diseases, jaundice, malaria, etc., while dry products have no such effect.

For example, the root of white grass is used freshly, which has the effect of clearing heat, stopping bleeding or diuretic, while dry products do not have this effect.

The effect of fresh and dried products of some traditional Chinese medicines is very different, such as ginger and dried ginger, both contain volatile oil, gingerin and other ingredients, but fresh products contain more volatile oil, which can promote sweating, relieve the surface, and treat wind and cold. However, the volatile oil of its aged products is continuously lost during the drying process, and the content of gingerin is high, which can treat spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.

For example, fresh rehmannia and dried rehmannia mainly have the functions of clearing heat, generating jin and cooling blood, while dry products mainly have the effect of nourishing yin. ”

Lin Taoyin listened carefully to her answer, and after she finished speaking, he said: "Since there are many herbs with different ingredients from fresh and dried, is it true that some herbs can only be used fresh or dried?" ”

Qingzhi said: "Exactly. It is true that some traditional Chinese medicines cannot be used fresh, such as Banxia, Aracea, Chuanwu, Caowu, Aconite, etc., which are toxic when they are fresh, and must be processed to reduce the toxicity before they can be used.

However, some traditional Chinese medicines can only be used with aged products, such as orange peel turning into "tangerine peel", which has a better curative effect. The volatile oil contained in fresh mugwort leaves is irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, and the side effects of Chen Pin are small, so Chen Ai is generally used in clinical practice. ”

After Lin Taoyin took a sip of wine, he asked again: "So are there any herbs with the same effect as fresh and dried products?" ”

Qingzhi was about to reply to him, when an arm stretched out, a cup of tea was placed in front of her, and His Royal Highness the Prince's guard said behind her, "Doctor Kong, let's talk about a cup of tea." ”

After bringing her a chair just now, he immediately went to the room to get an extra set of cups.

Qingzhi took a sip of tea and said to Lin Taoyin: "It is true that there are some herbs with the same effect of fresh and dried Chinese medicine, but they are different in dose, such as purslane can treat bacillary dysentery and have a diuretic effect, but it contains a certain ten thousand, and the difference between fresh and dry products is ten times, which is related to the evaporation of water, so the dosage of dry products can be less, and the dosage of fresh products needs to be more." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said at this time: "Yes, yes, Dr. Kong is really well-informed and knowledgeable. ”

Lin Taoyin also said: "Doctor Kong is really as legendary as rumored. ”

Qingzhi didn't want to make the banquet under the moon his own special praise meeting, so he hurriedly said: "Actually, the grass people just read more medical books, and if you talk about other skills, you are naturally not as good as you." For example, for all kinds of poetry and songs, it is far inferior to everyone here. For another example, ordinary men know how to shoot arrows, and grass people don't know anything about it......"

At this time, it must be right to mention your own shortcomings and the strengths of others.

Speaking of archery, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Lu Shikang, then at Qingzhi, took a sip of tea and said, "Why haven't you taught Dr. Kong to practice archery?" ”

Lu Shikang said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, Dr. Kong only has medical skills in his heart, not archery, so it is difficult to teach." ”

Qingzhi said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, these days, he has only taught me for a while, is it too difficult to teach the grass people, or his master is too perfunctory, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can make a clear decision." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile: "Dr. Kong and Gu are also friends of Lu Gongzi, and they must also know that he had something on his mind a few days ago. Now that he has solved the knot, when he has time, he will naturally teach you the art of archery. ”

At this time, Lin Taoyin smiled inexplicably and asked, "Lu Gongzi actually has a time when he has a knot?" ”

He and Lu Shikang's second brother Lu Shiliang are both bachelors of Hanlin Academy, and when chatting with Lu Shiliang, he once heard Lu Shikang sigh and say some things about his third brother Lu Shikang. In Lu Shiliang's mouth, his third brother is a gentleman who sees one and loves one, and loves one and loses another.

Lu Shikang smiled silently.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile at this time: "Who hasn't had a heart knot, hasn't Master Lin ever had a heart knot?" ”

Lin Taoyin said: "When I was young, I naturally had it. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: "Master Lin is not old yet. ”

When His Royal Highness the Prince's words fell, he saw Wushu hurrying over, and when he came to the table, he said to His Royal Highness the Prince: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old man has come down." It's just a short distance behind. ”

When the people at the table looked up together, they saw a person coming in the moonlight, with fluttering clothes and fairy wind bones.

It was the old man.
