In the wing room.
As soon as Li Zexuan said something, everyone was shocked.
Everyone in the room turned their attention to him. Cheng Yaojin hurriedly ran over, grabbed Li Zexuan's shoulders and said hastily: "You brat, why didn't you tell me earlier if you had a way? Your Uncle Qin and I are like brothers, and I always treat him well." You are like a nephew, how can you bear to see your Uncle Qin injured and tortured?"
Li Zexuan explained: "Uncle Cheng, this kid's method may not work well, so I have to ask Taoist Master Sun to go over it together."
Sun Simiao stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Li Zexuan and asked, "Oh? Xiaoxuan, you actually know medical skills?"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "I don't know much about medicine, but my master is quite good at it."
Sun Simiao asked curiously: "May I ask who the master is?"
When he was in Zhongnan Mountain, Li Zexuan only told Sun Simiao that he was weak and sickly when he was a child, and later went to Longhu Mountain to become a disciple. He did not tell Sun Simiao who his master was.
Cheng Yaojin chatted: "His master is Master Lingxu, and Dr. Sun must have heard of him."
Sun Simiao said in surprise: "It turns out to be Senior Lingxu. Pindao also admires his medical skills very much. Xiaoxuan, have you learned his medical skills?"
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Master only taught me martial arts, not medical skills. Master said at that time that I was still young and could bite off more than I could chew."
Sun Simiao shook his head with regret and said, "That's such a pity. Oh, Xiaoxuan, you said before that you have a method to treat General Qin's illness. Please tell me what method it is?"
When Li Zexuan saw everyone looking at him, he said, "I believe everyone has heard of the immortal drunkenness that has become popular in Chang'an recently, right?"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said, "Of course we have heard of it, but now we are talking about treatment. What are you talking about?"
The rest of the people also had doubts on their faces.
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "The method I am talking about is to mix some herbs for treating internal injuries with spirits in a certain proportion and take them internally and externally. A two-pronged approach. I think it can have a very good therapeutic effect on Uncle Qin's old injuries."
Sun Simiao twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Xiaoxuan, aren't you talking about medicinal wine? This thing has been around for a long time. Pindao doesn't think that this medicinal wine can cure General Qin's injuries."
The emergence of medicated wine can be traced back to ancient times. In addition to "wine" and "sweet wine", the wines of the Yin and Shang Dynasties also had "鬯". Chan is brewed by using black millet as the raw material for brewing and adding tulip (also a traditional Chinese medicine). This is the earliest medicinal wine recorded in writing.
But it is worth emphasizing that most of the medicinal wines in ancient times were drugs added to the brewing raw materials and fermented together. Rather than the dipping method commonly used in later generations. The main reason may be that wine in ancient times had a low alcohol content and was not easy to store, and the maceration method could easily lead to rancidity of the wine.
The use of wine decoction and wine maceration methods began at least in the Han Dynasty.
What Li Zexuan was talking about was using ultra-high-concentration spirits to make medicinal wine by dipping.
Hearing Sun Simiao's denial, Li Zexuan explained with a smile: "Daozhang Sun, the medicinal wine I mentioned is brewed with ultra-high-concentration spirits. My master said before his death that the stronger the wine used to prepare the medicinal wine, the stronger the wine. The final medicinal properties will be better.
Because various active ingredients of herbal medicines are easily soluble in spirits, the medicine can fully exert its effectiveness and improve its effectiveness by leveraging the power of alcohol and alcohol to enhance its potency. Moreover, my master was also troubled by injuries in the past few years. He left behind a medicinal wine recipe that can be taken internally and externally, which can completely cure old injuries. As for whether it can cure Uncle Qin's illness, I am not sure.
After arranging things at the winery a few days ago, the boy concentrated several liters of concentrated wine himself, and prepared two bottles of medicinal wine according to the recipe left by his master. I was in a hurry today and forgot to bring it with me. Please ask Uncle Qin to send a family member to my house to get it. "
What Li Zexuan said was not nonsense. In fact, the alcohol concentration of the wine needed to prepare medicinal wine should be above 50 degrees. According to modern scientific knowledge, alcohol is a good semi-polar organic solvent. Various organic components contained in Chinese herbal medicines are easily soluble in Alcohol is poorly soluble in water.
But it was impossible to have such strong wine under ancient conditions. Therefore, medicinal wines in ancient times were mostly tonic medicinal wines.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that prolonged illness will lead to deficiency of vitality and venous stasis. Therefore, various chronic deficiency diseases often have varying degrees of problems such as sluggish qi and blood and stagnant meridians. Medicinal wine mainly has the functions of nourishing blood and replenishing qi, nourishing yin and warming yang. At the same time, the wine itself has the effect of dispersing pungent and warming the body.
As for the medicinal wine formula that Li Zexuan mentioned, it was exactly the formula that his father often used in his previous life. His father had a wild temper when he was young. He had learned martial arts from several martial arts masters, and then started traveling around after two years of training. All the travel expenses he needed on the road were earned by performing magic tricks on the roadside.
At that time, New China had just been founded for more than ten years, and street juggling was still very common.
Later, after his father got married, his temperament gradually stabilized and he began to earn money to support the family in a down-to-earth manner. But as he got older, the hidden wounds left by practicing martial arts and juggling when he was young began to show up. His father found the recipe from nowhere, mixed the medicinal wine himself, and took it internally and externally. He found that it was quite effective, so he kept insisting on it. down.
But later on, Li Zexuan was asked to go to a Chinese medicine store to get medicine, so Li Zexuan was particularly impressed by that prescription.
On the day when Han Yuxi was bartending at his house, Li Zexuan successfully purified liquor for the first time. Later, after Han Yuxi left, he distilled some of the purified wine several times. Li Zexuan estimated that the wine was already 60 degrees.
Then he asked people to prepare medicine according to the prescription and prepared two bottles of medicinal wine. He thought that if Sun Simiao couldn't cure Qin Shubao's injury, he would take this out and try it. A dead horse is a living horse, right?
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin said excitedly: "Xiao Xuan, do you really mean what you said?"
Qin Shubao also looked slightly moved. He said so indifferently before, just to comfort his wife, but if there is a chance to get healthy, who would want to be a sick person every day.
Li Zexuan nodded affirmatively.
Mrs. Qin immediately went out and ordered her servants to go to Li's house to get medicinal wine.
Cheng Yaojin's face was full of excitement. He stepped forward and patted Li Zexuan's shoulder vigorously, shouting: "Good boy, it turns out you were prepared. If your uncle Qin's illness is cured this time, Qin and Cheng's family will be happy." Remember your kindness and I will never treat you badly in the future."
Li Zexuan said quickly: "What did Uncle Cheng say? As the great general of the Tang Dynasty, Uncle Qin has made great contributions to the country of the Tang Dynasty. Any citizen of the Tang Dynasty would like a hero like Uncle Qin." He will live a long life. Besides, it’s still unknown whether my nephew’s medicinal wine will work.”
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "Since it is a prescription left by Master Lingxu, I, Old Cheng, believe that it will definitely work."
Li Zexuan secretly cursed that Cheng Yaojin was too excited. How could he praise another doctor in front of one doctor?
Fortunately, Sun Simiao is not the kind of person who has a small belly. He himself also admires the medical skills of Master Lingxu.
At this time, Sun Simiao said: "Xiao Xuan, before you get the medicinal wine back, can you write the prescription to Pindao?"
He was also happy to see Hunter Xin. He heard that this prescription was left by Master Lingxu, so he wanted to find out.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "I'm just thinking of asking Master Sun to help me read the details in case I remember wrongly and make mistakes."
