Chapter 52: Distinguishing Medicine

Seeing that all the hives had been cut down, the three of them dismantled the scythe of the stick that had been tied up so that they could take it back with them. Then he extinguished the fire that was lit and covered it with a layer of sand.

Jia looked at it and said, "Nana, you go first, I'll pour some water on the fire to make sure it doesn't burn again." With that, he began to take off his pants.

"Call sister, where did you get the water, there's no water here..."Donna was wondering, and when she saw Jia take off her pants at the beginning, she suddenly understood, and hurriedly walked away.

When Badru saw it, he also understood, and came over and said, "Hehe, I'll come too, I'll water it too." ”

The two let go of the water and hurriedly chased Donna with the rest of the things.

The three of them returned to Jiayi's house, and his parents had not yet returned.

Kaichi took out a small basin and filled it with honey. How can this honey be taken out from the bee's spleen? He knew that beekeepers used a hand-cranked honey shaker to throw out the honey by centrifugal force, but there was no honey now.

"Badru, how do you get this honey? you can't just eat it like this, can you?" asked Badru.

"Squeeze it out with your hands, what else should you do?"

After thinking about it, Jiayi found a piece of clean gauze and came out, which he bought when he was making steamed buns. He put the bee's spleen side down in the gauze and twisted it with his hands, and then he saw the honey flowing out of the gauze holes. The sun shines on the honey, and the honey seems to be shining, light amber, very thick, very beautiful.

Honey can be stored for a long time, almost never expires, he remembers a variety show to guess which food has the longest shelf life, and in the end honey won, saying that it can be stored for more than 20 years. In fact, theoretically, if the honey is sealed without moisture, it can be stored for an infinite time and will never expire. It is said that American archaeologists excavated 3,300-year-old honey inside the pyramids of Egypt, which has not deteriorated at all and is still edible today.

The reason why the honey in the supermarket has a shelf life is because the state stipulates that all foods must have a shelf life, and in fact, the shelf life is not strictly scientifically calculated, it is marked by experience, not that the shelf life food will be spoiled, if the characteristics have not changed at that time, it can still be eaten. It's just that the merchant is responsible for the problem of the product during the shelf life, and it is not necessary outside the shelf life. It is said that there are supermarkets in the United States that sell food that have passed the expiration date but have not yet expired.

After squeezing the honey, Kaichi took out a large piece of bread, cut it with a knife, put it out, and handed it to everyone.

Everyone spread honey on the bread and praised the food. Although honey is sweet, it is a little sweet when eaten dry, and it is much better when spread on bread. It's rare for Badru to have the opportunity to eat such a good bread, and when he tastes this pairing, he can't stop for a while. Although the village has learned to bake bread, it is not as good as Jiayi's family. For this kind of means of making a living, the people in the village also know that they can't teach it, so they just need to learn the basics.

It's just that for Kaichi, although it is good with honey, he actually prefers to sandwich meat, even if it is an omelette. However, honey is actually more expensive, and there is no beekeeping yet, at least not nearby, so honey is still more expensive.

After everyone ate honey bread, Jia divided the honey into two portions, and gave a smaller one to Badru to take home.

He took some out of his own pocket, and brought some sliced bread, and sent it to the old man for medicine.

When I came to Yao Lao's house, Yao Lao was basking in the sun in the yard.

Jia put down the honey bread and said to Yao Lao, "Teacher, Badru and I have found honey, you can taste it." It's delicious with bread. ”

"Have you been stung by a bee?" and have you made a fire?

"Ahh We made a fire, smoked it, but we cleaned it up, not only put out the fire, but covered it with sand, and finally, poured water. Jia Yi didn't expect that not only did he not get praise, but he was also asked a lot of questions by Yao Lao, and his tone was not kind.

"That's good, if the forest is set on fire, it won't be a small problem. ”

"I know, teacher. Kaichi replied that he was no longer a child of three or four years old, but seven years old, and had the soul of an adult.

Yao Lao returned to the room, sat down at the table, looked at the bread, and said to Jia Yi: "Jia Yi, you have been studying with me for several years, and you have learned about the same, and I have nothing more to teach you, so I have less experience." Today, I'm going to teach you a unique lesson that I have learned, and if you learn this, you will almost be able to become a teacher. In the future, as long as you go into the mountains with me to collect medicine and learn more experience. ”

"Oh, teacher, what is it, so powerful. Kaichi asked in surprise.

Yao Lao picked up a piece of bread, smeared it with honey, and said, "Actually, it's not a very powerful craft, but it's really not something that ordinary people can master. It's called medicine discrimination. ”

"Distinguishing medicine, identifying medicinal materials?"

"Yes. This world is so big, it is said that there are other continents on the other side of the sea, and there are many, many medicinal materials that we don't know or have never seen, and this medicine identification technique is what I learned to help me identify the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials I don't know during my adventure. Yao Lao said to Jia Yi.

"So powerful!" Jia Yi was really shocked this time, this skill NB, you can recognize the medicinal materials you don't know.

It's just that I don't feel like it's right. Is it still possible to display the information of medicinal materials when an identification technique is thrown over like in the game? He has traveled for so long, and he has never seen the attribute skill interface.

"Attributes!information!skills!packages!" Kaichi said silently in his heart, but there was no reaction. Of course not, he'd tried this before, not long after he crossed over.

"Old, teacher, how should I distinguish medicinal herbs from this?" Jia Yi couldn't think of it, so he had to ask the teacher for help.

"The main thing is to taste it. Yao Lao said.

"Taste it?"

"Yes, take a little bit of herbs and taste it, if there is a bitter and numb feeling, it is mostly poisonous, if it is a sweet and greasy feeling, most of it is also a problem, and the accumulation and fermentation will most likely be accompanied by poisonous gas, but there is generally no problem with simple sweetness. If it's just numbness in the mouth, it's fine, but if it spreads, there's definitely a problem. If you feel that your body is hot, it is good for your body..."

Yao Lao said a lot in one breath, but Jia Yi now had only one thought in his heart, "Hold the grass, Shennong tastes the herbs, and Shennong finally hung up and fed." ”

Jia Yi couldn't help but interrupt the teacher and said, "Teacher, won't this cause problems with eating? ”

Yao Lao stopped, glanced at Jia Yi, and said, "Yes, you are very right. Seeing that Kaichi's eyes widened, he continued: "But we only eat a small portion at a time, and the poisoning problem is not big. Also, prepare an antidote before trying. ”

"Well, each poison is different?"

"Yes, but we have three formulas, one for herbal toxicity, one for mineral toxicity, and one for toxicity such as snake venom bone meal. Also, if you try too much, your body will develop resistance to the drug, and your resistance to toxicity will increase. ”

Jia Yi still felt a little unbelievable, it turned out that the so-called medicine discrimination technique was to be a guinea pig by himself.

"Originally, you were still young, so I shouldn't have taught you so early, but you are in good health, now try some less toxic herbs, remember what it feels like to have toxic herbs, and increase the body's anti-toxicity, and in the future, try more for yourself." ”

"Ah, teacher, won't you teach me in the future?"

"Later... Let's talk about it..."Yao Lao whispered, and Jia Yi almost didn't hear clearly.

Next, Yao Lao introduced the method of distinguishing medicine in detail, so that he could have an understanding.

Distinguishing medicine is not simply throwing the herbs into the mouth and chewing, but to prepare first, ready to interpret the herbs, and a large amount of milk, cow's milk, goat's milk as long as it is milk. Then try the herbs gradually, from small to large, and remember how your body feels. This method must exercise the incomparably sensitive tongue. And it is not only possible to test the drug, but also to try to remove or reduce the toxicity and retain the drug. There is also the compatibility with other medicinal materials after testing the medicinal properties, and some medicinal materials are combined with blood to produce toxicity, but oral administration is not toxic, these have to be tried by small animals, such as snake venom.

Originally, Jiayi was resting today, and he was caught and forcibly instilled with a medicine discrimination technique when he took honey bread to administer medicine, especially, this medicine discrimination technique is unreliable. This is not at all in line with Jiayi's philosophy of life, he generally takes risks for others to ensure his own safety.
