Chapter 60: The First Lesson
Zhang Sijiu's business today is obviously not as good as yesterday.
After all, without those who watched the excitement, the whole number fell all at once.
Zhang Sijiu had already prepared in his heart, so he was not disappointed at all.
However, she was still a little absent-minded, after all, she was waiting for someone.
Cheng Wanli didn't know when he would come today.
Zhang Sijiu was a little anxious - that feeling was the same as when school was about to start.
And it's not your average school start.
Although she thinks she is a mature doctor, it is limited to Western medicine, and Chinese medicine is only a superficial understanding, and now it is equivalent to being exposed to a new field that she does not understand at all.
As a result, I have both expectation and gearing up in my heart, but also a little nervousness and uneasiness, afraid that my thinking will be fixed and I will not be able to learn.
This is not a lie.
The integration of Chinese and Western medicine is simple to say, but in fact, many doctors have been exploring for more than ten years, and it is still just a beginner.
In the words of the old Chinese medicine practitioners, they are too brainy in Western medicine to learn Chinese medicine at all!
Zhang Sijiu actually agrees with this.
Because these are two completely different medical systems, and even in some places, it may sound like there is a big conflict.
And once the mind is solidified by one thing, it is difficult to accept the other.
Cheng Wanli came over near noon.
is still straw sandals and straw hat, dressed in a short dress, and the most valuable thing on his body is the medicine box with a mouthful of skin.
His dusty appearance always makes people feel that he is an old farmer, not a doctor.
After Cheng Wanli sat down, he first took out two coins and bought water to drink.
Zhang Sijiu is also not polite, should he accept it or accept it, just give a little more - after all, medical exchange is medical exchange, and business is business!
After Cheng Wanli drank the water, he opened the medicine box and took out an oiled paper bag.
Unfolded layer by layer, it is full of medicinal herbs.
Zhang Sijiu counted it, and it was exactly ten.
However, these are all dried medicinal herbs, one by one, which are already a bit unrecognizable.
Zhang Sijiu was a little unrecognizable.
Cheng Wanli looked at Zhang Sijiu's serious look at the medicinal materials, smiled with satisfaction, and then asked casually: "Do you know?" ”
Zhang Sijiu shook his head.
"Well, then I'll know you today." Cheng Wanli smiled and picked up one of the medicinal herbs.
It was something that had been cut into small slices. It has skin on the outside and a reddish-brown color on the inside. It looks like some kind of tree trunk.
Cheng Wanli handed it to Zhang Sijiu: "You smell it." ”
Zhang Sijiu took it and closed his palms, so that the pills were in the palms of the two hands, forming a small space to ensure that the smell was retained to the greatest extent and making it easier to smell.
As soon as he smelled it, Zhang Sijiu soon smelled a very slight smell. Something special, but not pungent or offensive.
"Remember the taste. This is the taste of licorice. Cheng Wanli looked at Zhang Sijiu so smart, he didn't stupidly put his nose on it and smell it, he just felt that Zhang Sijiu was smart, so his smile deepened.
It's just that as soon as he introduced the medicinal herbs, his expression and voice immediately became solemn.
"There are so many medicinal herbs in the world, do you know why I chose licorice as the first one to teach you?"
In fact, Zhang Sijiu really knows this problem.
Licorice is very famous.
Zhang Sijiu once heard several Chinese medicine practitioners talk about licorice.
Therefore, she did not hesitate at this time: "Because it is the most widely used and commonly used medicinal herb?" ”
Cheng Wanli was still waiting for Zhang Sijiu to be puzzled, but he naturally explained, so he taught it by the way.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Sijiu said it so concisely and to the point.
So Cheng Wanli choked slightly.
After a long while, he relieved himself and couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too smart." ”
When I teach, there is no joy at all, but I feel a sense of forced tension.
Zhang Sijiu sincerely thought about her own problems, and felt that she had indeed ignored the other party's feelings, so she humbly admitted her mistake: "Then next time I will pretend not to know a little." ”
Cheng Wanli felt a mouthful of old blood choked in his heart.
It tasted a bit like a symptom of a phlegm obsessed heart attack.
Zhang Sijiu was still there, waiting for the next with a sincere face.
Cheng Wanli could only adjust himself again.
He coughed and talked about licorice: "Licorice, also known as the old man, is also known as sweet grass, sweet root." As the name suggests, the taste of the medicine is sweet. As for the medicinal properties, it is flat, and it is precisely because of this that it can be matched with various medicinal materials to harmonize their medicinal properties. ”
"Licorice effect can be used for heart qi deficiency, can be used for carbuncle sores, sore throat, can also be used as a cough, stomach pain, abdominal pain. Another point is that it can adjust the medicinal properties of strong drugs. so that the medicine will not hurt people's spleen and stomach. ”
"Licorice can be used alone, in combination, and even externally. But the most common way to use it is to use it in combine. ”
"The common licorice recipes include Four Gentlemen's Soup, Licorice Cinnamon Branch, and Erchen Soup—"
Once Cheng Wanli taught it, it was really exciting, and he suddenly began to talk non-stop.
Zhang Sijiu was so busy remembering that he almost couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
However, even then, there are only a few key words to remember.
For the rest, I can only go back and integrate it myself and recall it carefully.
Therefore, Cheng Wanli lectured seriously, while Zhang Sijiu listened more seriously.
After a licorice finish, Cheng Wanli was already dry again.
So, he found another piece of money.
The only good thing is that although the first one talks about it so much, it is purely because the first one is special enough.
The remaining nine don't add up to a single licorice that talks much about it.
And it can be seen that Cheng Wanli took out these medicines, all of which were ordinary herbs, and there was nothing precious. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is at your fingertips.
When Cheng Wanli finished speaking, Zhang Sijiu thoughtfully: "You like licorice very much." ”
Cheng Wanli was out of his habit, and he was not annoyed, but laughed "haha": "There is no doctor in the world who doesn't like licorice!" In the future, when you learn to prescribe medicine, you will know the magic of licorice! ”
Zhang Sijiu smiled: "Then I'll wait for that day and come and see." ”
Cheng Wanli touched his beard unsatisfied, and always felt that he was teaching too fast today: it was not that he had never brought an apprentice before, but it had never been so smooth! In terms of time, it saves more than half!
However, in view of the fact that Zhang Sijiu has never asked questions, as if he has no questions, Cheng Wanli is still a little bottomless: "Do you remember?" Need I say it again? ”
Zhang Sijiu shook his head: "It's okay for the time being, I still remember it, but I don't know if I'm wrong, or I'll repeat it?" Are you faulting me? ”
Cheng Wanli choked again.
