Chapter 24 Internal and external application
"Is there a place behind the clinic?"
After Zhao Zhong heard the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor, he did not hesitate, and followed him to the back of the clinic.
When the curtain was lifted, it was not surprising to him that there was really a courtyard behind this clinic.
It's just that the yard area is not large, more than 100 square meters. There are four or five rooms around it, like a courtyard house, and the floor is also paved with mud.
"Does the old gentleman usually live at the back of the clinic?"
Zhao Zhong glanced around and asked the old Chinese medicine doctor.
"I usually live here alone."
After seeing Zhao Zhong's inquiring gaze, the old Chinese medicine doctor explained with a smile: "And this is an old house that has not been demolished, and I rented it all in the early years and opened it up." Plus the clinic, there are five rooms in total, two bedrooms, one for me to sit and store medicinal herbs, and two for the kitchen and washing place. And the formula I gave the police officer was in one of the bedrooms. ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor said, walking towards a bedroom in the northwest direction of the courtyard.
When Zhao Zhong saw it, he also took two steps forward and came to this bedroom.
"This medicine is not taken internally, it is applied externally. I needed to soak my body, so I made room for the officer to absorb the medicine. ”
When the old Chinese medicine doctor took down the lever on the door and explained something to Zhao Zhong, there was a "click", and as soon as the door of the door system was pushed open, a bitter smell overflowed from the room and floated in the courtyard.
Zhao Zhong glanced inside, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw a wooden barrel and a bed placed in the house, but other than that, there was nothing in it.
"Topical?" Thereupon. Zhao Zhong glanced at the wooden barrel with a bitter smell wafting inside, and then looked at the old Chinese medicine doctor.
"Sir, when you say external application, do you mean jumping into this bucket and soaking?"
"yes, just jump into this bucket."
The old Chinese medicine doctor nodded with a smile, pointed to the wooden barrel, and carefully explained to Zhao Zhong: "Officer, there are too many Chinese medicines in this herbal formula you gave me, and I can only soak it externally, or apply it." But in order to exert the medicinal effect, it is better to soak as well. And according to the comparison of the medicinal properties on the formula, the police officer needs to soak for three hours to make the spirit reach a full state. ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor said, he walked to the wooden barrel and pulled the liquid medicine inside with his hand, "But this prescription, after I matched those low-performing Chinese medicines, the medicinal properties are relatively neutral, and the police officer had better soak it overnight for six hours." ”
"Six hours, until seven o'clock tomorrow morning?"
When Zhao Zhong heard this, after looking at the time displayed on his mobile phone, he asked the old Chinese medicine doctor and said, "Time is nothing." But.. Sir, after you modify the prescription, will it affect anything? ”
"No, you can rest assured, officer."
After seeing Zhao Zhong's somewhat puzzled gaze, the old Chinese medicine doctor immediately smiled and took out the 'Taoist Travels' from the wooden bed.
"The things in this book are too mysterious, and the gods are talking about cultivating immortals and refining demons, which is a bit unrealistic. I haven't heard of the Five Spirit Grass in any formula, the Flying Beast Pill. Therefore, I can only use people with similar medicinal properties to participate in the comparison of some traditional Chinese medicine such as bear bile, so that I can practice such a barrel of medicinal liquid with a somewhat bitter smell. Although the liquid medicine is not as fragrant as in the formula, and the medicinal properties are a bit low, as long as the police officer has soaked for a long time, there is no problem. ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled, opened the book, and turned to the page of 'Medicine Picker', "However, although I have not heard of many things in this prescription, many of the Chinese medicine theories in it are still useful." ”
He pointed to the 'medicine picker' formula, which had already been written by him with annotations, which showed that the old Chinese medicine doctor had studied a lot of time this day.
"For example, the 'essence and spirit' mentioned in this recipe is different from the clear mind and abundant spirit that the Taoists say. In scientific terms, it means that after soaking in the medicinal liquid, the skin cells can absorb the medicinal properties in the liquid, stimulate the generation and growth of cells, and make the exercise more effective."
"Exercise is more effective.."
Zhao Zhong listened to it, and finally heard the affirmative words of the old Chinese medicine doctor that it can increase the effect of exercise, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was hot.
Because what he wants is to exercise and strengthen his cells. And there is a system that affirms that he knows 100% that this prescription is true.
"Now that the prescription is available, the rest is to take the medicinal diet internally.."
After Zhao Zhong glanced at the black bag in his hand, he was about to ask the old Chinese medicine doctor if he could make medicinal food, but the old Chinese medicine doctor in front of the wooden barrel explained the use of this medicinal liquid. Precautions for future topical application.
After he heard it, he also suppressed the heat in his heart, listened attentively, and first let go of the idea of medicinal food.
"According to the prescription, and theoretically speaking, if the police officer is going to use this prescription for a long time, he will soak it every three months. In this way, the cells can be kept in an 'active' state, and when exercising, they are more effective than ordinary people. ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor said, and pointed to the bed next to him, "And when the police officer finishes soaking, he can also stay in the bedroom first." Anyway, my son works in other provinces, and he doesn't necessarily go back to his home several times a year. Therefore, if the chief lives here, he will not bother anything, but every few months, there will be someone to chat with the old man. ”
"Moreover, there is well water in our yard, and there are also medicinal herbs to remove peculiar smells. After the police officer finishes soaking, it will not affect the next day's work. ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor had a smile on his face between his words, as if he didn't have the loneliness of living alone in the clinic at all, but kept talking about a series of trivial things after Zhao Zhong took the medicine.
"Thank you!"
After Zhao Zhong heard it, he exhaled a long breath in his heart, thought about it, and finally put down the black bag in his hand and hugged his fists to show his gratitude.
But as soon as he let it go, the old Chinese medicine doctor took a closer look and asked.
"Officer, what's in the bag?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor was curious when he saw the label on the bag, and he didn't know what he was buying so much beef jerky.
Although he had long noticed the bag that Zhao Zhong had been carrying in his hand as soon as he entered the door, after all, Zhao Zhong was a guest, and he couldn't keep staring at other people's things.
"Yes, it's beef."
After Zhao Zhong heard the old Chinese medicine doctor's inquiry, he also restrained his thoughts and asked the old Chinese medicine doctor if he could make medicinal food.
"Old man, can you make this beef into a medicinal diet, which is the same as the previous recipe, and can be exercised and taken."
Zhao Zhong asked, with anticipation in his eyes.
"Yes."
Similarly, it didn't disappoint him, after the old Chinese medicine doctor stroked his beard, he opened the 'Taoist Travels' in his hand, as if it was all treasure secrets, but Zhao Zhong couldn't see it as a layman.
"Look, officer, there's a recipe for making a medicinal diet in it."
The old Chinese medicine doctor said, and handed the page to Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong took it and looked at the 'Taoist Travels' in his hand.
He saw that it was still a narrative like a short story, and it was recorded in the form of a narrative essay.
It tells the story of a hunter in the mountains, who hunted a boar in the mountains and returned to his home to cook it.
However, the hunter was poor, and there was no ingredient salt at home, so he could only pick a few herbs to match it with the flavor.
Especially since he was the only one in the hunter's house.
After he ate some that night, he was afraid that the wild boar meat would spoil, so he cut up the cooked meat, roasted it on a steamer, and steamed it into jerky.
From then on, when he went up to the mountains every day to hunt, he would take a piece with him.
Coincidentally, after a few days, he found that after eating these jerky, he was refreshed every day, and he was not hungry at the end of the day.
Thereupon.
After thinking about it for a while, he learned that it was the credit of the dried boar, so he no longer brought extra dry food every day, only a piece of jerky weighing more than a catty...
