Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2472 Test of Human Nature
Normally, Dian Shuhua focuses his energy on managing the branch of the National Medical Center, coordinating doctor-patient relationships, clinical treatment, and refining his medical skills. He is so busy every day that he is almost overwhelmed. He really doesn't have time to study the academic aspects of traditional Chinese medicine and the principles of Chinese herbal medicine. When Bian Mu suddenly talks to him about such a deep and difficult topic, Dian Shuhua is completely at a loss.

Noticing that Dian Shuhua was having some trouble understanding, Bian Mu didn't delve any deeper into the conversation.

"Let's go! Let's see if we can stabilize the properties of Ophiopogon japonicus a little." As he spoke, Bian Mu got up and walked to the workbench. He unzipped his backpack and took out a box made of mulberry wood. It was neither too big nor too small, about the size of a middle school student's lunchbox. When he opened the lid, the box was filled with the best quality Ophiopogon japonicus.

Some time ago, under Bian Mu's instruction, Dian Shuhua bred more than a dozen medicinal experimental rabbits in the bungalow behind the Little White Building. Three of them were tagged with the words "Ophiopogon japonicus" by Bian Mu, and they came in handy today.

Under Bian Mu's guidance, Dian Shuhua put on disposable PE gloves and helped fill the weighed Ophiopogon japonicus into the medicine box designated by Bian Mu. Then, he took some special medicinal paper and covered it tightly. It was a special paper made of corn stalks, silkworm silk and birch bark as the main raw materials. If it weren't for the help of Grandpa Yang, a vendor at the "Flower Field Ghost Market", it would have been hard to find a suitable paper maker.

Dian Shuhua noticed that the arrangement of those medicine boxes had broken away from the traditional "medicine refining" methods such as the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and followed a completely new matrix arrangement order.

"Good heavens! This is truly opening up a completely new way of preparing traditional Chinese medicine! If this guy really succeeds, this alone will make him famous in the field of traditional Chinese medicine research!" Dian Shuhua thought to himself.

Busily, the two carefully wrapped the simulated "medicine cauldron workshop" in three layers with a hemp and cotton mesh containing fine metal wires.

After connecting all the relevant power cords, data cables, temperature control cables, magnetic control cables, etc., and completing all the procedures, the two of them were already sweating a little on their backs.

They dared not use the desktop computers provided by the lab, so they temporarily used two laptops as the main control machines. One was the core host, and the other was a backup machine in case of emergency. All the other monitoring equipment was made from second-hand mobile phones, all second-hand Apple Pro Max series, with at least 1TB of memory.

Having spent all his time with Bian Mu, Dian Shuhua's expertise in CNC systems was indeed quite remarkable. Seeing this, he guessed that the hardware and software systems used in the traditional Chinese medicine preparation system that Bian Mu had created were far superior to the imagination of most experts in terms of optimization and purity.

The more advanced something is, the simpler it often is!
This has been true throughout history and across the world!

"Let's start by testing Ophiopogon japonicus as an example today, and then we'll test other medicinal herbs later." As she spoke, Bian Mu clicked the mouse to open the main control program.

Bian Mu's explanation of the security precautions was rather cryptic, and although Dian Shuhua didn't quite understand it, he was convinced that even if dozens of high-end professional cameras were set up on site to record every detail of the experiment, it wouldn't really be of much use.

Putting everything else aside, even Bian Mu's most trusted colleague was completely disoriented at the moment. What could those unrelated people do, no matter how knowledgeable they were, once they got their hands on the relevant video materials?

"You sit here and keep an eye on things. As long as you don't smell anything unusual and all the monitoring data doesn't turn red, then there's nothing to worry about. I'll go over and check on those three backup experimental rabbits!"

"Alright! Rabbit A's symptoms are in the lungs, so we'll focus on nourishing the lungs; Rabbit B's symptoms are in the stomach, specifically difficulty in descending stomach qi, resulting in some constipation. Additionally, the stagnant stomach qi leads to weak bowel movements; Rabbit C has excessive heart fire, making it difficult for clear qi to ascend, which may have already affected its nervous system. That rabbit seems a bit listless. Boss, do you think these symptoms match what you requested earlier?" The rabbits were usually managed by Dian Shuhua, and now he needed to clearly report the relevant experimental setup.

"Are you using a lot of medication?" Bian Mu asked casually. "The main treatment is acupuncture, with occasional administration of some traction medication, but not much."

"That's good! Drug experiments based on this foundation are more convincing. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Look at what you're saying, working for your own family and you're talking about how hard it is. Just don't let it interfere with your important business."

Bian Mu casually patted Dian Shuhua's shoulder without saying anything. He went to the corner of the wall by the door, opened the cage lid, and took out three rabbits in three separate trips. That's right, there were three rabbits, A, B, and C. He checked the ear tags on each rabbit's ears one by one, and they were correct.

The three obedient rabbits were all very well-behaved, staring at Bian Mu with adorable eyes. Apart from their whiskers twitching occasionally, they mostly stayed curled up on the control panel and didn't move much.

Bian Mu gave the three rabbits a comprehensive physical examination. Fortunately, the results were largely consistent with Dian Shuhua's description. In other words, these experimental rabbits, which were marked with the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic logo, had not been tampered with by anyone in secret.

Needless to say, for various reasons, Cai Huaixin is usually quite dedicated to her work; at least, she takes good care of Bian Mu's little plot of land.

Then, Bian Mu found three small red carrots, fed a few bites to the rabbit in experiment A, and then used a cotton swab to take a sample from the bitten area. The pliers were quite sharp, so Bian Mu cut off three ends of the cotton swab and put them into three medium-sized test tubes. The test tubes had been filled with glucose solution beforehand, and Bian Mu shook them to let the cotton swab ends dissolve fully in the solution...

The relevant experimental equipment had been placed on the workbench beforehand. Bian Mu then took out three small reagent bottles from his backpack, all of which he had carefully prepared in advance. He dipped a wiping paper in the solution and dropped it into the test tube. The results would be available soon.

Repeating this process three times without getting tired, Bian Mu performed cross-examinations on the three experimental rabbits...

Fortunately, apart from Dian Shuhua, no one with ulterior motives has been found to be secretly engaging in any shady or despicable activities such as drawing blood samples, administering drugs, acupuncture, or needle pricks.

After glancing at the row of test results, Bian Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"No matter what, my brother has finally been reluctantly accepted into the local TCM and Chinese medicine circles. At least, representatives from both the old and new forces hope that I can produce some new results. After all, times have changed. They at least know to help me get started first. In the future, they will benefit from it sooner or later. Whether my brother can be fully integrated into their circle is uncertain for both sides... Right now, we can only take it one step at a time!" Bian Mu couldn't help but think for a long time.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that forest rangers like Lao Liangtou, "Knife Face," and Lao Hou, along with their various friends, have been secretly and diligently protecting their small business, and some of their shady dealings may have been quietly "shielded" from view.

Bian Mu has never been fighting alone!
