Volume 1 Love and Sincerity Chapter 8 Improving the Taste of Medicine
Ou Suying's health also improved quickly, and he heard that there was a Waifu Xin who was responsible for teaching Daozhi to read and write, so he was busy discussing with Yang, and he also learned the writing of the Han Dynasty with Waifu Xin. Waifu is the meaning of the teacher here. Many job titles are different from modern ones. In order to better adapt to the ancient life, Ou Suying couldn't wait to start learning contemporary knowledge.
Ou Suying's history, literature, mathematics and science classes, and even ideological and political Mao are very scummy, but when I was in school, I did very well in Chinese and English, drumming, singing and dancing, and acting classes.
There is no way out for illiteracy.
Knowing the importance of culture, Ou Suying has a strong desire to learn.
In addition to learning the Han Dynasty's written seal script and official script, Ou Suying also admired Xu Yijiang very much.
Xu Yijiang's medical skills, put in modern times, are completely qualified to be a professor of Chinese medicine in any first-line hospital!
"Xu Yijiang, how does this bean-roasted eggplant taste like?"
"It's delicious."
"I made it myself."
"Unexpected." Xu Yijiang tasted this delicacy, thinking that Ou Suying's tongue taste was different, and he could still make such a delicious dish, it seemed that the side effects of the drug were relatively mild and could be remedied.
"Doctor Xu, why are you going?"
Ou Suying stopped Doctor Xu, who was about to go to the backyard.
"Go to the toilet and."
Xu Yijiang has always been outspoken.
"With this," Osura's dogleg had to be presented with a white cotton mask.
This was specially prepared by Ou Suying. When Ou Suying couldn't move, Nuan Sheng took the small basin into the house and served Ou Suying to the toilet. From the first time Ou Suying went out to the toilet and saw the toilet in the backyard, he decisively sewed a mask with Nuan Sheng Xuejian.
Surrounded by wooden planks, two stones, and a hole dug in the dirt in the middle, it is a place for and peeing.
Simple! Brusque! Filthy!
Ou Suying's mask is very similar to modern masks, with two strips of cloth looped around the ears, and several layers of cotton cut into ovals and sewn together to protect the mouth and nose. The difference is that the cotton mask is designed as a pocket that can be tucked with spices in the sandwich.
When Ou Suying found that the people here didn't understand spices at all, and there was no magical incense in the TV series or beautifully packaged perfumes in the shopping mall, he decisively chose the moon flowers in the garden as the sandwich material.
"The mask I developed, wearing a mask to the toilet, tastes much better."
"No, you don't." Ignoring Ou Suying's dedication, Doctor Xu took out a pill from his sleeve and crushed it at the door of the toilet. Ou Suying saw a magical scene, all the flies had run away, and the smell of fragrance wafted around him.
"Cow" Ou Suying gave a thumbs up, which strengthened his determination to apprentice.
When Dr. Xu came out of the toilet, Ou Suying had already diligently brought a basin of hand washing water and guarded it.
"Although your current physical condition is very good, you should still stay away from the kitchen, the sink, especially the unclean places such as the latrine, and it is best not to come to the backyard."
"Thank you Doctor Xu for reminding me."
"You can call me Doctor Xu."
"Okay, Divine Doctor."
"Do you have anything to say? I feel like you've been in front of me a lot more today. β
"Doctor Xu is refreshing! I am actually grateful to you for saving my life, and I admire your medical skills even more, hoping to worship you as a teacher and learn medical skills from you. Ou Suying laid the groundwork for a day, and finally said what was in his heart.
"You come with me."
There are signs!
Ou Suying has begun to happily fantasize about her happy life as a doctor in the ancient Han Dynasty.
When I become a generation of famous doctors, I will help the world and save livesΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Of course, the first thing to do is to cure the stupidity of the knife Dazhi. Hahaha
When he arrived at the room of Doctor Xu in the East Courtyard, Doctor Xu handed Ou Suying a bunch of leaves. "What kind of herb is this?"
Exams, I know.
Ou Suying observed the leaves in his hands.
The leaves are emerald green, about six or seven centimeters long, oval, no matter how you look at it, they are the leaves of the sand bamboo in the garden.
"Sand bamboo leaves."
"No, this is chicken foot ginseng. You can't even tell the difference between chicken feet and ginseng and sand bamboo leaves, and you can't be a doctor. β
"What? Chicken feet ginseng? I've never heard of it, Doctor Xu, you can't test me like this, you have to teach me to know these herbs first, and then I know their names. β
"Then you read this book"
"Huang ***, I just talked to Mr. Xin, no, I said that Waifu Xin has studied for a few days, and he doesn't recognize many words. But I'm going to learn it very quickly, and I'm learning things very fast. Ou Suying didn't recognize the words on the wooden tablet and explained.
"You go out first"
Although the apprenticeship was not successful this time, Ou Suying was not discouraged.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
It is not Ou Suying who wants to apprentice, not to mention the Xue Jian and Nuan Sheng of the girl Huaichun, Yuan Pozi and Zhao Grandma in the backyard, Shi Sheng and Gao Shan, the male servants of the East Courtyard, Sheren Yang, and even the Meng Yijiang outside came to Xu Yijiang to apprentice, but they were all humiliated by Xu Yijiang and refused unceremoniously.
"Insincere, frizzy, you can't be my doctor"
"It's too noisy, careless, the two grandmothers are not suitable to be my apprentices."
"Cutting corners, misconduct, and not worthy of being an apprentice."
"If you eat too much, you can't be a disciple."
"Too old."
"If you can't read, you can't be an apprentice."
Ou Suying repeatedly ran into a wall, and when she saw that everyone was rejected, she felt a little angry. On the other hand, the other people who were rejected did not feel that there was anything wrong, but even more admired Dr. Xu.
The manservant Shi Sheng coughed and went out from the small door of the east courtyard, just when he was touched by Ou Suying. "You have such a bad cough, can you have a doctor Zhao Xu to take a look? Take some medicine? β
"No, I was about to go out to see Doctor Zhao Meng. Ahem"
"How do you go far and near? Didn't Dr. Xu live in the same courtyard with you? β
"Miss, where is my little illness so bothered by Doctor Xu? Doctor Xu only saved two kinds of people, one was a rare and incurable disease, and the other was a dead person who had half of his body into the Yama Temple. I'm light, hehe, cough, cough, I'll go first. β
"Go, go, go."
Ou Suying wanted to question Xu Yijiang, and looked for a circle of people he hadn't seen. The more she thought about this Xu Yijiang, the more angry Ou Suying became, what rules are there for curing diseases and saving people, and when you are a miracle doctor, you have a bad temper? Even if it's a genius, can't a genius get along well with ordinary people?
"This Xu Yijiang relies on his medical skills to be good, and he is too unparticular about being a person."
"Miss, Doctor Xu just has a poisonous mouth." Nuan Sheng didn't quite agree with Ou Suying's statement.
"It's not just a little poison." With Xu Yijiang spitting in his mouth, Ou Suying was not idle in his hands, holding chicken feathers and drawing something on the white cotton cloth with charcoal water.
Nuan Sheng took the stone chips and crushed the black wood charcoal little by little, put it in a small bowl, and turned it into black charcoal water.
I don't know if there is no pen, ink, paper and inkstone in this idea, or if the place in Linzi is too dilapidated and I haven't found anything to sell. People even used razor blades to carve on things like wood, bamboo, and so on. Ou Suying doesn't like to carve with knives, so she can only find a way to get ink and pen by herself.
"No matter how good the medical skills are, there must also be medical ethics. To be a human being, or to be a medical craftsman, character is very important. Xu Yijiang is not virtuous. Of course, it is important to treat the sick and save lives, but if you only treat the disease and save lives, and ignore the suffering of the patient, the patient's life is worse than death, and the quality of life is very low, this is meaningless. Do you know that sometimes, patients do not die of illness, but because they are in too much pain during the treatment process, and they give up the treatment? You say, people are not alive to be happy, if you are sick, take very bitter medicine, or there is no anesthesia during the treatment, and the body is very painful, such a painful treatment, it is better to let the patient euthanize! Do you say, is it better for people to die in a beautiful illusion, or to live with pain? β
"Of course you're alive, miss, what are you thinking about all day? Who can't stand the treatment and find their own death"
"Me"
"You?"
"I'm talking nonsense, forget it. After this is painted, you can help me find someone who works as a carpenter, or someone who has a good job as a blacksmith. Ou Suying commanded. Ou Suying painted the appearance of a toilet, and she wanted to improve the toilet in the backyard.
Nuan Sheng was about to go out with the cotton cloth painting, but Xu Yijiang pushed the door and came in, "What you said makes sense." β
"Uh, hehehehehe"
Ou Suying smiled awkwardly. Saying bad things about you, you push the door in. I don't know how much you've listened to it, but it makes sense.
Xu Yijiang turned around and went out, and did not pursue Ou Suying for saying bad things about him behind his back.
"You see, how generous Doctor Xu is, and he said that what you said makes sense." After Nuan Sheng finished speaking, he took the cotton cloth and drew it out.
Xu Yijiang turned around and left without pursuing it, but Ou Suying chased after him, "Xu Yijiang, you wait for me." β
Xu Yijiang stopped when he heard the sound.
"What are you looking for me? It can't just be to listen to the corner, right? β
"Here's for you." Doctor Xu took out a black pill the size of Mai Lisu from his sleeve pouch.
"Why did you come to deliver the medicine and leave again?"
"This medicine is very bitter, you need to chew and swallow, I'll go back and add some ingredients to change the taste of the new medicine for you."
Ou Suying opened her mouth in surprise.
It turns out that Chinese medicine can not be bitter!
It turns out that Xu Yijiang is just lazy to change the taste!
It turns out that he was discovered by my conscience!
"Doctor Xu, I'm so moved, you're so good, you saved my life, and you have to help me make the medicine delicious. Does this reduce the effectiveness of the drug? β
"You question my medical skills? You eat it now. β
Doctor Xu stuffed the pill into Ou Suying's hand and walked quickly.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Ou Suying chased Doctor Xu to the West Courtyard until Doctor Xu's room.
Although it is not the first time to come here, the smell and vision of Xu Yijiang's room are still very weird.
All kinds of messy cups and cans, as well as a few small stoves that the sheep specially borrowed from the neighbors to boil medicines, not to mention all kinds of herbs on the table and on the back basket, and the newly hung pork intestines on the window are also for medicine?
Ou Suying couldn't ignore her curiosity, pointed to the large intestine, and looked at Xu Yijiang inquiringly.
"When I came back from collecting medicine in the morning, I passed by the wine shop, and the Huang Pozi who sold wine gave it to me."
"Did you treat her? I didn't hear she was very sick. Aren't you only treating rare and incurable diseases, and some half-dead people? β
"It's not. I treat diseases according to my mood, and I don't pick rare and incurable diseases and half-dead people. β
"Huh? I misunderstood you, Xu Yijiang, you are still very down-to-earth. Look at it, you treat people's diseases, and they give you large intestines, how good is that. In the morning, I saw Shi Sheng coughing and went out to see Doctor Meng, but I didn't look for you, saying that you don't look at his minor illness, only treat strange diseases, and I still have some complaints about you. Hehe, Xu Yijiang, you don't care about the villain, forgive me. Ou Suying handed the pill to Doctor Xu, "This medicine is a bit too bitter. β
