"Young man, it's medicine that's three parts poison. Although this medicine is good, it's better to take less of it."
"If you really have such needs, I have a set of acupuncture methods that can help you. Do you want to try it?"
"Of course, in return, can you give me a little of these medicines? No more, just a little."
Doctor Zhang spoke repeatedly, and Xu Boyan was surprised when he heard this.
Good guy, this is like telling me "you can't control it"!
If this were not in a regular hospital, I would have doubted whether I had encountered a charlatan.
Why do I look at the expression and tone of the old Chinese medicine doctor in front of me, so much like the big bad wolf deceiving the little white rabbit!
Xu Bo'an casually played Tai Chi and pretended to be confused and said: "Doctor Zhang, you are kidding. These were given to me by a friend for making soup. I don't even know what you are talking about."
Doctor Zhang's expression changed, and he said regretfully: "Making soup? This... this is a bit too wasteful."
Xu Boan asked curiously: "What a waste of natural resources? Why did Doctor Zhang say this!"
Doctor Zhang smiled and said: "As I told you just now, these medicinal materials are not ordinary medicinal materials. Not only are they wild, but they are also old. They are rare. I tell you this. got it."
Xu Bo'an opened his eyes wide, and then he realized what the other person meant by "all extraordinary" just now.
Cynomorium Cynomorium, Cistanche deserticola, Dendrobium officinale!
Plus common Chinese medicines such as wolfberry, velvet antler, and ginseng.
Xu Bo'an has heard of it. After all, it is normal for middle-aged people to soak wolfberry and deer antler slices in a thermos cup.
But a medicinal material that can make an old Chinese medicine doctor stunned is so precious.
Xu Boan nodded and said thoughtfully: "I understand, what you mean is that these medicinal materials are very expensive."
Doctor Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, but it cannot simply be said to be expensive, it should be precious. These things are hard to find now. It's a pity that the active ingredients of these herbs are less lost after they are dried, which will affect a certain amount of medicinal efficacy. , if it is in a fresh state, it will have better effects. Of course, I am just talking about these herbs, some herbs that need to be processed still need to be dried before they can be used."
Xu Boan, a layman, didn't know this kind of professional thing. He used to think that all Chinese medicines can be used as medicine only after they are dried in the sun. Isn't this common sense among most people.
When Doctor Zhang said this, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but think of the Polygonum multiflorum given to him by the monkey leader because he helped cure the little monkey.
Those were serious fresh herbs that had just been picked.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an pretended to reach out and touch his handbag a few times, and then took out the Polygonum multiflorum root.
"Doctor Zhang, please help me take a look at this Polygonum multiflorum, how about you?"
Doctor Zhang's eyes widened when he saw Xu Bo'an taking out such a large piece of Polygonum multiflorum.
"This... fresh Polygonum multiflorum? Where did you get it? It must be at least 500 years old."
Xu Bo'an shrugged and said: "My friend gave it to me, but I don't understand it either. That's why I asked you to help me. Thank you for your trouble!"
Doctor Zhang shook his head and said: "It's incredible, it's really incredible. You don't plan to use this thing to make soup, right?"
Xu Boyan thought, I said to use those herbs to make soup because I didn't know their value.
I knew from the beginning that Polygonum multiflorum was not cheap, so how could I use it to make soup?
Maximizing interests is the perfection that adults pursue.
Xu Bo'an smiled and said: "Doctor Zhang is joking, I am not that rich,"
"You can already use these things to make soup. Isn't this rich enough?"
Doctor Zhang pointed to a few dried herbs in the bag and joked with a smile.
Xu Boan asked tentatively: "Then... Doctor Zhang, how much are these things worth?"
Doctor Zhang shook his head and said: "This bad evaluation is worth a thousand pieces of gold in the eyes of those who need it, but nothing in the eyes of those who don't need it."
Xu Bo'an felt a little bored when he heard this. This old man was very smart, so he was worried that he had tricked him into negotiating terms with him.
Xu Bo'an has already seen that Dr. Zhang is very fond of these medicinal herbs.
Xu Boyan chuckled and said, "Doctor Zhang, how much do these things cost in your eyes?"
Doctor Zhang, who was not good at lying, smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "This... Cynomorium cynomorium and Dendrobium officinale, I need some money, but I don't have much money. If you are willing, young man, I am willing to use acupuncture for you." We will perform acupuncture for you and solve your worries. We guarantee that there will be no side effects. It is like we exchange one thing for another."
Xu Bo'an's eyes widened and he said dissatisfiedly: "Doctor Zhang, I see that you are also an experienced apricot forest expert. Traditional Chinese medicine pays special attention to hearing, hearing and asking questions. Do you think that I look like I have no worries?"
Doctor Zhang shook his head, stroked his beard and said: "At first glance, it doesn't look like it, but you know your own situation well. Maybe you can make up for it with some medicine."
Xu Bo'an didn't want to bear the reputation of not taking it, so he hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, I haven't taken this medicine yet. I just want to ask you about the efficacy of these things. I don't know the efficacy before I know it." You dare to eat randomly. Listening to what you say now, I think there is no need for me to eat anymore. But I listen to what you mean, Dr. Zhang, what, do you need to eat? "
Doctor Zhang couldn't hear the teasing meaning of Xu Bo'an, and immediately explained with a blush: "No, no. I want this medicine not for physical therapy, but these two medicines, in addition to the effect of tonic, also It can be used as an auxiliary medicine for my prescription of Blind Eye Ming Powder. As I get older, my eyesight becomes blurred. It’s just that I didn’t have this opportunity in the past. Since this medicine can be used to complete this prescription, I naturally want to give it a try. "
Xu Bo'an asked curiously: "Cynomorium Cynomorium and Dendrobium officinale are both common Chinese medicines, right? With your status in the Chinese medicine community, it's not so hard to find such a medicine, right?"
Doctor Zhang said regretfully: "What do you know? If it is ordinary Cynomorium cynomorium and Dendrobium officinale, it is naturally easy to get it, but pure wild medicine that is hundreds of years old is hard to find. Without this Two kinds of medicine, even if my prescription is precious, it will always be like the moon in the mirror."
Xu Bo'an said with a smile: "Doctor Zhang, what do you think? I can give you some of these medicinal materials. I don't want your money anymore, but can you show me the prescription for improving eyesight that you mentioned?"
Xu Bo'an thought very simply. Both his parents were old and suffered from presbyopia.
If you can help your parents improve their eyesight, that would be the best expression of filial piety.
I never thought that Doctor Zhang heard this, but he refused vigilantly: "This is not possible, this is passed down from our ancestors. It is passed down from male to female, from inside to outside. However, after brewing my Mingmu Sanruo, , I can give you a few doses."
Xu Bo'an curled his lips in disinterest and said: "Teaching a fish is not as satisfying as teaching a fish to fish. If that's the case, forget it. Excuse me. Doctor Zhang, you are busy, I will leave first." "
After saying that, Xu Bo'an went to collect the bag containing the medicinal materials as hard as he could.
Upon seeing this, Doctor Zhang hurriedly covered the mouth of the bag and said hurriedly: "Hey, hey, don't leave in a hurry yet, we can discuss anything."
Xu Bo'an shrugged and said, "What's there to discuss? I want money, but you don't have it. I want prescriptions, but you won't give them. No matter how much we discuss, you can't let me give it to you for free."
"Of course it can't be done!" Doctor Zhang smiled and tapped his fingers nervously on the table. After a while, he said: "How about this, I can give you some of the things I have learned over the years. The folk remedies collected from everywhere are quite effective, what do you think?"
Xu Bo'an said with great interest: "Let's take a look. What are they?"
Dr. Zhang picked up the books, notebooks and other sundries on the desk, pointed to the glass plate pressed on the desk and said: "The things pressed under this glass plate are all collected by me over the years and verified by real clinical trials. There are many effective Chinese medicine prescriptions. If you agree, I can give you these prescriptions."
Xu Boan lowered his head, moved closer, and looked up.
On the densely packed papers under the glass plate, there are various folk remedies left by various words and inks.
A prescription for relieving migraines written in pencil on the calendar paper, a prescription for treating onychomycosis written in ballpoint pen on the paper on the cigarette pack, a prescription for treating frequent urination written in gel pen on a half-torn white paper with staggered teeth, and a signature pen on the note paper. There are also home remedies for insomnia, and there are even remedies for treating food accumulation that appear to be written in lipstick on paper.
Good guy, I really don’t know the circumstances under which these prescriptions were collected.
Xu Bo'an casually estimated that there must be more than twenty kinds.
If it is as effective as Dr. Zhang said, it would be quite heart-wrenching.
It's just that the old Chinese medicine doctor was really lazy and just put it down casually without making a new copy.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an glanced at Doctor Zhang with slight disdain.
As if sensing Xu Bo'an's thoughts, Doctor Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "Don't think that I didn't re-record these things. I still have the electronic version on my computer. It's just that I'm nostalgic. I put it here, like I have seen stories one by one and experiences one by one. These are my precious treasures, and they are best preserved here."
Now it was Xu Boan who was a little embarrassed. He chuckled and said, "Dr. Zhang is joking. Who would think twice about your professionalism? Then would you bother to send me an electronic copy of yours?"
Doctor Zhang smiled proudly, stroked his beard and said, "Oh? So, you agree."
"I basically agree. However, I have to add the acupuncture and other treatments you just told me about. Is that okay?"
"What? The art of acupuncture? That's not possible." Dr. Zhang shook his head sharply and refused, then picked up the yellowed book he was looking at and said, "The art of acupuncture was also handed down from my ancestors, and it's all in this book. Here, if you need it, I can help you with a few courses of treatment."
Xu Bo'an pointed at the book and said: "Although this book is very old, it looks like it has been there for thirty or fifty years. It is a bit lax to say it is from an ancestor!"
Doctor Zhang rolled his eyes and said: "This book was compiled by my great-grandfather and grandfather based on the ancient scrolls handed down from their ancestors. They printed it at their own expense and have not published it. We passed it down from our own family to read. Otherwise, the ancient scrolls The scroll has already been turned over."
Xu Bo'an was about to compliment the businessman a few words, but unexpectedly, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
A sharp and urgent voice came: "Grandpa, the bus that grandma was riding on when she came to deliver food to us just now had an accident. I have to go out with the bus for first aid now!"
Xu Boan subconsciously followed the sound and was suddenly startled.
Good guy! Isn't this Doctor Bai?
Even though the other person was wearing a mask, Xu Boan could still recognize that it was Bai Susu from the look in his eyes.
It turns out that she is Dr. Zhang’s granddaughter!
At the same time that Xu Bo'an recognized the other party, the other party seemed to also recognize Xu Bo'an.
However, the two of them were not familiar with each other. They only exchanged two sentences that were both salty and mild, which made Bai Susu think that Xu Boan was deliberately trying to strike up a conversation with her.
Therefore, Bai Susu just stared at Xu Bo'an unexpectedly, and then didn't look at him again.
Doctor Zhang, who was sitting next to him, had already stood up in fear and said anxiously, "What did you say? Let's go, I'll go to the emergency room too."
The grandfather and grandson left in a hurry, and Xu Bo'an became the only person in the room.
Doctor Zhang was in such a hurry to leave that he forgot to let Xu Boan out first.
Xu Bo'an was not polite. He looked at the thick ancestral medical book on the table, sat down at the desk and started flipping through it.
How can you not cherish the opportunity given by God and the fate that comes with it?
As for negative comments like "peeping into other people's books without permission".
Good fellow, how can the things done by scholars be called stealing?
Xu Bo'an casually turned the book to the title page, only to realize that Doctor Zhang's so-called ancestral biography was really not a lie.
According to the description on the title page, their lineage is actually the descendants of the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing.
Good guy, with this resounding name, Xu Boyan suddenly felt that this medical book was even more valuable.
Turning to the catalog pages one after another, Xu Boan was even more shocked.
Various types of prescriptions cover almost all common and rare daily conditions.
If you have knowledge but don’t learn it, you will be wasting your natural resources!
Xu Boan spent sleepless nights looking through the books. Originally, he thought about taking pictures directly, but later he felt that this was a bit too much, and there were suspicions of plagiarism. He couldn't bear it in his conscience, so he gave up.
However, Xu Bo'an found that his memory could still achieve the effect of having a photographic memory of ten lines at a glance, and he felt more at ease.
One page, two pages, ten pages...
After Xu Bo'an finally finished flipping through the book, he was about to stretch and close the cover of the last page. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a young male doctor in a white coat hurriedly walked in. .
Seeing Xu Bo'an, the other party seemed a little surprised. He was startled for a moment, and then looked at Xu Bo'an angrily: "Who are you? Who let you in? How dare you read Master's medical books?"
