Druid's Country Retirement

The apprentice falls in love.

Li Hongbing didn't bother to care about such nonsense. It was up to Sun Lianqian to choose whom, and he would not get involved.

After finishing the business chat, I looked at the time. It was almost time for Mr. Fei to arrive at Caogou Village.

"You should arrange the preventive work. Don't leave any place behind. Think more about what has not been done. Direct the funds to the accountant to issue a note. I will leave in advance."

Leave the village council.

Going directly to the canteen, the decrease in tourists has caused a lot of losses for dine-in food. However, the B&B courtyard has been stable and is still growing. After all, people who can rent the courtyard are not short of money.

"Doctor Li, here we come!" The waiter saw Li Hongbing lift the curtain and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Li Hongbing saw a few tourists in the cafeteria and said with a smile, "You must be free recently!"

The junior waiter showed a wry smile and said, "It's not idle. There are fewer people eating in the restaurant and more errands. The brothers are so busy that they are busy ahead of themselves."

"Oh, what do you say?" Li Hongbing was curious.

"It's not the small courtyard. You said that the people in this city are really lazy. They don't even want to walk two steps more to eat. They insist on door-to-door service and food delivery service." The waiter raised his finger and pointed to the kitchen, "Now they are all on the phone. Let the chef cook at home. If you don’t want a chef, just order the food and have it ready and delivered. I’m willing to pay more.”

Lazy indeed!

Li Hongbing didn't expect that even if these tourists came to live in the village, they still couldn't change the habits of city dwellers.

"As long as you can make money, is your master here?"

"It's in the kitchen, I'll call you." Just as the waiter was about to turn around, the phone on the counter rang.

"I'll go there by myself, you go about your business!" Seeing this, Li Hongbing walked out of the kitchen. He heard the waiter behind him registering the number of the yard and what time to deliver the dishes. He just put down the phone, and then another one came.

Li Hongbing smiled and opened the curtain of the back kitchen, and a strong smell of human fireworks hit his face.

The flames rise on the stove, and the ingredients in the wok emit an attractive aroma as the chef skillfully stirs them.

Fresh vegetables, tender cuts of meat, and rich seasonings are combined with each other in the hot cooking to create a mouth-watering meal.

The air is filled with a strange smell formed by the mixture of pot gas and vegetable aroma.

Master Su was wearing an old man's shirt, shirtless, holding a menu and arranging tasks for his apprentice.

"Fourth brother, hurry up and bring out the food. No. 56 is waiting for dinner in the courtyard."

"Wuzi, prepare the side dishes. If you complain this time, get out of here as soon as possible."

"Who is cooking the dishes at No. 113 in the courtyard? It's timeout soon."

"Shunzi, hurry up and go to Courtyard No. 45. This time the guest ordered us to eat fish fillets."

Li Hongbing didn't want to disturb Master Su. He stood quietly and enjoyed the human smoke in the kitchen. This was not only the aroma of food, but also the breath of life, making people feel the warmth and kindness of home.

"Doctor Li, why are you here!" Master Su shouted loudly to wake up Li Hongbing who was immersed in it.

Li Hongbing said with a smile, "Well, I'm going to invite an elder to dinner tonight. Come over and ask for help from you, the chef, to prepare a table."

"Zhong, leave it to me, don't worry." Master Su slapped his chest loudly.

Ouyang Hua's family.

A car parked at the gate, and through the courtyard wall you could see puffs of white smoke rising into the sky, accompanied by a faint special fragrance.

In the yard, sister-in-law Wang Qian was boiling mugwort water. White smoke was coming from the house. Several other sisters-in-law were busy spreading the mugwort water evenly on the ground with ladles.

Ouyang Hua accompanied Mr. Fei and an old man with white hair to visit the newly planted trees in the yard.

"Mr. Fei, look, this is the tree that the Red Soldier asked to plant. I don't dare to ask why it was planted!"

"Peach trees, kumquats, dieffenbachia, and ginkgo trees." Fei Lao looked at the trees and frowned. He couldn't figure out what the connection was between planting trees and acupuncture, but according to Li Xiaoyou's medical skills, he would definitely not do it for no reason. Putting the cart before the horse.

Then Fei Lao turned to look at the white-haired old man beside him, "Old Cao, do you understand?"

"What the hell, Ou boy, where did you find these charlatans and charlatans? They must be those charlatans from the Yiyi sect who stand on the street and tell fortunes. They are also worthy of being called Chinese medicine doctors." The white-haired old man is not tall, but he is full of energy. , talking like lighting firecrackers, causing the sisters-in-law who were working in the yard to look askance.

This!

Ouyang Hua was stunned for a moment, unhappy with the old man slandering his brother-in-law, but he was brought by Mr. Fei, saying he was an old Chinese doctor from the Beijing expert group.

Beijing expert group.

He is one level higher than Mr. Fei. Even though he is the son of a big boss in Northern Province, he still has to be in awe when facing a doctor of this rank.

"Old Cao, don't talk nonsense. I recognize Li Xiaoyou's medical skills." Fei Lao shook his head and felt helpless about this old friend's temper. Others tend to be kinder as they get older, but he is better. The older he gets, the hotter his temper.

Just like a firecracker, it explodes at one click.

The white-haired old man snorted coldly, speaking bluntly without giving Old Fei any face.

"You agree, you agree. Treat the disease well. Why do you do so many bells and whistles? Traditional Chinese medicine is not Feng Shui. I want to see who sells dog meat in sheep's clothing. I can't find the cause. No matter how many tricks you do, it's still a press. The gourd lifts the gourd."

"You!" Mr. Fei couldn't answer the words and turned to look at Ouyang Hua, "Where is little friend Li now? It's convenient to see him."

"The red soldiers are in the cafeteria, saying they are here to pick up Mr. Fei." Ouyang Hua said quickly.

"Lead the way!" The white-haired old man immediately became excited when he heard this. He turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate without visiting the courtyard.

"Little friend Ou, this is my old friend's character. Please don't take it to heart. I will make amends for you on his behalf." Fei Lao said secretly to Ouyang Hua.

"I'm fine, I'm just afraid that the red soldiers will embarrass him!" Ouyang Hua didn't take it seriously, but when he met the old man Cao and his brother-in-law, he would never show mercy based on his temperament.

"It doesn't matter if you embarrass him or suppress his temper. He looks like the best in the world all day long. The old man will be angry when he sees it."

It's rare that a man with both moral character and morality like Mr. Fei couldn't stand it. Ouyang Hua smiled, it would be easier to handle, and he would ask his brother-in-law to be more ruthless later.

The group of people walked towards the cafeteria.

On the way, Old Man Cao kept chattering all the way, saying that he was unhappy with this, that was not good, in short, anything he didn't like was not good.

When he entered the cafeteria, Li Hongbing was sitting at a round table in the corner drinking tea. When he saw Ouyang Hua and Mr. Fei appear, he slowly stood up.

"Here it is!"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you, my little friend?" Mr. Fei asked with a smile.

There is no need to be pretentious when talking to Mr. Fei. Li Honghong smiled and said, "It's okay. The best thing is that my wife is pregnant."

"Congratulations!" Fei Lao heard this and hurriedly congratulated him, "I'm in a hurry today, I forgot to prepare a gift, my dear, please forgive me."

"Have you two said enough? You're so long-winded." Old Man Cao couldn't help but interrupt when he didn't get into the topic for a long time.

Who is this?

Li Hongbing looked sideways at the white-haired old man and asked Ouyang Hua with his eyes.

"Little friend Li, this is Cao Ge from the Vulcan sect. I heard that my little friend was going to use the secret acupuncture technique, so I specially learned it with the old man and watched." Fei Lao quickly introduced.

"I didn't say I wanted to watch, I just came to flip the table." Old Man Cao looked angrily, staring straight at Li Hongbing, "Cao Ge, a disciple of Wu Peiheng of the Vulcan Sect, which medical sect are you from?"

Vulcan sect Wu Peiheng! !

Li Hongbing narrowed his eyes. This name was famous in the modern Chinese medicine world. The first of the four famous doctors in Yun Province, an important descendant of the Vulcan Sect, the first dean of the Yun Province College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a heavyweight representative of the Fuyang academic school in the country. He is good at using classic prescriptions, good at using aconite, has extraordinary courage, and can solve difficult problems. In cases of mistreatment or mistreatment, a large dose of Aconite was used to treat the disease, and it was nicknamed "Wu Fuzi".

No wonder he was so angry, he turned out to be a member of the Vulcan Sect.

Seeing that Li Hongbing didn't answer, Old Man Cao thought that he was intimidated by his name and pressed forward step by step.

"Boy, let me ask you a question. Who do you study under in that medical sect?"

Li Hongbing replied calmly, "I am a medicine passed down from my family. I have no sect and no one. I am barefoot in the countryside and am self-taught."

It turns out there are no legs.

Cao Ge showed contempt and was a little angry in his heart. Chinese medicine was disrupted by such unlearned and unskilled people.

Seeing the white-haired old man's look, Li Hongbing was not angry, but helpless.

At present, a rock-solid chain of contempt has been formed in the traditional Chinese medicine community.

Those who practice traditional Chinese medicine look at those who practice traditional Chinese medicine and feel that they are stuck in their ways;

People who practice traditional Chinese medicine look at people who practice traditional Chinese medicine and feel that they have forgotten their ancestors.

Those suffering from typhoid fever look at those suffering from febrile diseases and feel that they are deviant;

Those suffering from febrile diseases look at those suffering from typhoid fever and feel that they are not enterprising.

Those who are doing Shifang look at those who are doing Vulcan, and feel that it is disruptive;

Those who are doing the God of Fire look at the people who are doing the Shifang, and feel that they are cheating their masters and destroying their ancestors.

When academics look at folk schools, they feel that they are a mixed bag;

People from the folk school look at the academic school and feel that they are too ambitious and short-handed.

People who do clinical work look at people who do experiments and feel that they are divorced from reality;

Those who do experiments look at those who do clinical research and feel that there is no basis for it.

Those who practice massage look at those who practice acupuncture, and feel they are no different;

Those who practice acupuncture look at those who practice massage and feel that it is not systematic.

It is such a mindless chain of contempt that has led to a large number of people in the traditional Chinese medicine community who dislike each other, attack each other, and slander each other. They always bring out their masters and ancestors and memorize the genealogy of their ancestors. Only then do they appear to be famous and upright.

When Old Man Cao saw Li Hongbing in front of him without saying a word, he continued to lecture.

"Boy, people should be down-to-earth and don't aim too high. Chinese medicine first studies people and then medicine. Don't do some messy things all day long."

Li Hongbing really didn't want to talk to him, so he replied, "Oh, after the promulgation of the Pharmacopoeia, is there still a Vulcan sect?"

"." Old Man Cao suddenly became depressed.

Even though Lao Cao had countless words to criticize Li Hongbing in his heart, when faced with this sentence, it was like a knife piercing his heart.

The Vulcan sect is known as the "Vulcan God" because it is good at using hot and warming medicines such as ginger and aphrodisiac. From theory to prescription, they all advocate warmth and heat, and their application is quite distinctive.

The academic point of view is that all diseases are caused by insufficient fire, and the disease cannot be cured without the fire of "ginger, cinnamon and fu". It particularly emphasizes "yang dominates and yin follows", emphasizing the multi-purpose, commonly used and large-dose use of ginger, cinnamon and fu.

Especially among the Vulcan sect, aconite is regarded as a holy medicine.

For example, the "True Biography of Medical Theory" written by Zheng Qin'an, the founder of the Vulcan Sect, said: The ancient saying "cannot heat Aconite", which shows that Aconite is a ball of fire. The whole body of a mortal depends entirely on a ball of true fire. The true fire is inexhaustible, so the illness is pure yin. Zhong Jing has a deep understanding of the subtleties of nature and knows that the power of Aconite can replenish the innate fire that is dying, and he can use it to become a king. "

"Fuyang Notes" also mentions: "Aconite warms the yang, warms the gate of life, warms the water, and breaks the yin condensation. Aconite can be said to be the most important medicine for supporting yang, so the use of aconite is especially recommended by Lu. Highly respected by everyone."

As mentioned before, Vulcanists attach great importance to the "True Yang of Mingmen" that is "trapped in the two Yins". Aconite is the key to replenishing the true fire of life.

However, with the continuous revision of the Pharmacopoeia, this medicine is classified as a major poison, and the standard dosage is clarified. The dosage of Aconite per dose is 3-15 grams.

This is a fatal blow to the Vulcan sect of traditional Chinese medicine doctors who often use dozens, hundreds of grams or even half a catty of Aconite.

If you prescribe such a high dosage of aconite to a patient, no matter whether it cures the disease or not, the patient will take the prescription and sue you. As long as the dosage exceeds the prescribed dosage in the pharmacopoeia, the lawsuit will be accurate and the compensation will be compensated. As a result, many traditional Chinese medicine offices now have their own He is from the Vulcan sect, but the prescriptions he prescribes have nothing to do with the Vulcan sect.

Fei Lao secretly snickered at his old friend's defeat, but he brought him here himself. If he didn't stand up and say a few words, Lao Cao would probably explode.

"Old Cao, I didn't come here to quarrel today. How can you leave the capital without bowing to your mouth?"

snort!

Old Man Cao snorted coldly and found a chair to sit down.

Then, Mr. Fei raised his hand to Li Hongbing and said, "Little friend Li, I am an old friend who is outspoken. Please forgive me."

At this time.

Master Su appeared with dishes, which ended the awkward atmosphere.

"It's time to serve, Doctor Li. I've brought the housekeeping dishes."

Upon seeing this, Li Hongbing called everyone to sit down.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Only then did Mr. Fei raise the question he had been holding in his mind, "Little friend Li, there is a question that I haven't been able to understand. I wonder if I can help him solve it."

Li Hongbing put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Mr. Fei wants to ask why trees are planted in Lao Ou's yard!"

Mr. Fei nodded, "If it's inconvenient"

"It's nothing inconvenient, but if I say it, you might say I'm faking it again." Li Hongbing glanced at the old man Cao who pricked up his ears. The latter snorted coldly, picked up his chopsticks and pretended to eat food.

After Li Hongbing pointed out Sang and scolded Huai, he was secretly happy and continued.

"Trees are divided into yin and yang. Those with strong yang include peach trees, ginkgo, cypress, evergreen, iron trees, kumquats, oaks, etc."

"Nannan is the result of yin evil entering the body. According to the theory of supporting yang of the Vulcan sect, yang dominates and yin follows, and the human body is made of fire. The great treasure of heaven is only this red sun; the great treasure of man is only this breath of true yang. Human beings are small Qian Kun, if Yang is gained, life will occur, if Yang is lost, death will occur.”

"When yin is strong, yang is weak. I planted a yang tree in the yard. The yang tree absorbs the yang from heaven and earth and suppresses the yin in Nannan's body."

Old Man Cao, who was eavesdropping, couldn't help but nodded secretly when he heard Li Hongbing bring out the Vulcan sect's theory with evidence.

You can cite evidence, but I still don't agree with planting trees to generate yang energy and suppress people's yin energy. This has deviated from the way of traditional Chinese medicine and is completely the heresy of Feng Shui magicians.

"Then why do you still use mugwort to sprinkle water and smoke the house?" Fei Lao continued to ask.

Li Hongbing did not answer directly. Instead, he asked like a disciple taking exams, "Why is mugwort grass?"

Mr. Fei, who has been practicing medicine all his life, naturally will not be stumped by blind herbs. He thought for a moment and said.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that mugwort is bitter and pungent, generates warmth, is hot when cooked, and has pure yang properties. It can return the dying yang, open the twelve meridians, travel through the three yin, regulate qi and blood, drive away cold and dampness, and warm the uterus. The moxibustion fire can penetrate the meridians and eliminate all kinds of diseases."
