34 kinds of medicinal herbs
Shen Wangxin closed the courtyard door and knocked on the door of the Chen family father and son with the tray in his hand. Chen opened the door first, was called to the hall by Shen Wangxin, inspected his injuries for him, and saw that he was covered with skin injuries, so he took a bottle of medicinal wine and asked him to go back to the room to wipe it himself.
After doing these things, Shen Wangxin went back to the backyard, bolted the door between the two courtyards, and went back to his room. When she went to the county seat a few days ago, she also took it to the study and bought a few medical books.
Although the level of medicine in this era was seriously unequal to her time. She could even see that some of the things in the medical books had even been proven wrong in modern times. But knowing more about this time will still help her to operate the hospital in the future.
During this period, Aunt Shen cleaned up the kitchen, stretched out her head to say hello to Shen Wangxin, and went to the bottom of the big tree at the entrance of the village to chat with a group of women.
Shen Wangxin didn't stop her, left the back door for Aunt Shen, and went to the room next to the kitchen to look at the newly bought medicinal seeds. There are many medicinal materials suitable for planting in spring, but she only picked some commonly used medicinal materials with stable market prices, such as Banlan root, which is commonly used for wind and cold, skullcap used for heat clearing and detoxification, and Angelica dahurica, which has the effect of invigorating blood and relieving pain.
It's raining a little these days, and the village of Xitou in the south is getting wet again. There were a lot of water beads on the walls, and even the wooden floor was damp, so Shen Wangxin was worried that the seeds would spoil, so he took stove ash every day to prevent moisture. I also looked through it regularly every night, picked out the broken seeds and threw them away.
Seeing that the sky was getting better again, she thought that the time had come to sow seeds, and she planned to sow them all in the ground tomorrow.
Shen Wangxin remembered this incident in his heart, got up early the next morning, and after breakfast, put on the hat at home, and then carried the seeds to the field at the back of the yard to sow seeds.
Aunt Shen washed the dishes and chopsticks, and did not find Shen Wangxin's figure in the front yard and backyard, and when she walked out of the back door, she saw a small figure struggling to land on the ground with a hoe.
"Heart girl, are you a medicine seed?" Aunt Shen wiped the water on her apron that had not dried on her hands, walked to Shen Wangxin's side, took the hoe in her hand and said with a smile, "You are small and your hands are small, how can you move such a big hoe?" The third grandmother is here to help you, how big of a pit are you going to dig? ”
"How does the third grandmother usually grow vegetables, and I guess I can grow medicinal herbs like this." Shen Forget thought for a while and said.
She really didn't know anything about farming, and spent almost all of her life learning medicine, when the system of traditional Chinese medicine was very developed, and the medicinal materials were all concocted and sent to the Chinese medicine hospital. But in Da Zhou, although these things can also be bought, you have to grow some yourself.
Aunt Shen nodded, hoeed a small pit with a hoe, and asked Shen Wangxin to put the herbs in it: "Put a few more seeds each time, don't look at it now, it's not necessarily long to come." If you squeeze together, you can move it to the side when you're a little older. ”
Although Aunt Shen didn't know how to grow medicinal herbs, she had planted beans in the field, so she simply guided Shen Wangxin according to her own experience.
In this way, Aunt Shen was responsible for digging the pit, and Shen Wangxin was responsible for throwing the seeds into it, and then covering it with soil, and it took a whole morning to plant almost an acre of medicinal herbs.
Shen Wangxin's small body was almost tired and paralyzed, looking at Aunt Shen's relaxed appearance, she thought that this body was still too weak. Not only does she have to make up for what she eats, but she also has to exercise her body well, and there are still many things to do in the future.
After returning to the front yard, someone happened to come to buy a plaster for bruises, it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, wearing a small hat, a delicate face sweaty, seeing Shen Wangxin showed a smile.
Shen Wangxin vaguely remembered that this girl's name was Wang Zhaodi, and her family lived in the mountains at the end of Xitou Village, and her family was the only hunter in the village, and she relied on the mountains to hunt to earn food. Therefore, Wang Zhaodi often comes here to buy medicine for her father Wang Orion, and she remembers her when she forgets her heart.
"Do you still want the same plaster as before?" Shen Wangxin asked as he opened the drawer of the medicine cabinet.
Wang Zhaodi said "hey", took out fifty yuan from the bag on his waist and put it on the counter, pursed his lips and smiled: "The plaster on Dr. Shen's side is cheap and easy to use, I used to buy it at the pharmacy in the county, and it cost eighty or ninety yuan, and my father also said that it didn't hurt or itch." ”
Wang Lihu's injuries are all caused by years of fatigue. Due to his habit of using arrows, he had severe frozen shoulder, and when the attack was so severe, he couldn't even lift his hands.
Shen Wangxin handed the plaster to Wang Zhaodi, and instructed: "Your father's problem is that it is blocked, and the shoulder and neck are the easiest places to hide diseases and accept evil. Medical books all say that 'if the qi is insufficient, the blood will not flow, if the blood is not smooth, the water will not flow, and if the water does not flow, the poison will not be discharged', compared to plasters, it is better to use stronger medicinal wine to invigorate the blood, it is best to rest for a period of time, and you can also use acupuncture to treat it. ”
Wang Zhaodi sighed and said, "I have also persuaded me, but I am the only girl in the family, and my mother's body is not good, where is my father willing to rest?" But is there any medicine and wine that Dr. Shen said? If so, I'll buy some for my dad. ”
After her reminder, Shen Wangxin found that there was a lack of such a common medicinal wine in his medical hall. Farmers in the countryside are most susceptible to shoulder and neck diseases and rheumatism, so they should always have things like medicine and wine.
She has a recipe for soothing muscles and invigorating blood wine, which requires the use of medicinal herbs such as angelica, Chuanxiong, safflower, madder, clematis, etc. It's easy to say about medicinal herbs or something, but the most important thing about medicinal wine is a wine word, and rice wine commonly used by farmers is not good, and strong liquor must be used.
Baijiu, also known as shochu, was introduced to China from Central Asia as early as the Yuan Dynasty in ancient China, and then it shined in medicine. But now after all, the time and space in which he is in a different place is different, and Shen Wangxin can't be sure whether Da Zhou produces liquor or not.
"The heart girl is talking about soju?" Aunt Shen thought for a while after hearing Shen Wangxin's question, and then said, "Your third grandfather has gotten a jar of that kind of wine, but the wine is too strong, and it is easy to get on when you drink it." I don't have many people in my area who like to drink, but I've heard that people in the north drink more, so if you want to, I'll go back to my house and bring it for you. ”
Shen Wangxin didn't expect that there was really liquor in this era, and immediately said that he could buy it with money, and Aunt Shen naturally didn't want Shen Wangxin's money.
By the time the jar of liquor was found and arrived in Shen Wangxin's hands, it was already several days later.
