NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 152: This is called professionalism! The craftsmanship of our ancestors!
"Oh, I see! No problem!"

Fatty Zhang felt embarrassed and quickly straightened his face. Yes, how could Dr. Jiang Ming be that kind of person? Thinking of this, he wanted to slap himself twice.

So you're making medicinal wine. I'll help you unconditionally.

Traditional Chinese medicine is good at using medicated wine for treatment. Every time he goes home, his grandmother will use medicated wine to massage his back, which is very comfortable.

If you feel like drinking, you can have a sip, which makes you feel refreshed.

Needless to say, the quality of the medicinal wine produced by Jiang Ming is top-notch. Maybe he can even buy a pot.

But he quickly avoided the topic.

Let’s get back to talking about Xu Yong.

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

With the Chinese men's basketball team achieving a good result of fourth place in the Olympics, not only was Yi Jianlian confirmed as the starting power forward for the Bucks, but the Bucks also opened low-cost flights for Chinese fans, which is an attempt to compete with Houston for the Chinese market.

Then Xu Yong actually benefited from this. The attention on the Chinese men's basketball team that shocked the world this year increased rapidly. This also led to not only the Trail Blazers scouts, but also scouts from other teams naturally becoming interested in Xu Yong, the young player who almost made it to the Olympics this time.

What's more, this young man was treated by Jiang Ming himself.

Zhang Mingji told Jiang Ming that the CBA now has international scouts stationed in 2-3 teams, which means that in the future more and more Chinese players may have the opportunity to play and study in the United States.

Sun Yue, who was on the Lakers last year, is now unemployed as the Lakers did not renew his contract.

He only got a 10-day short contract with the Nets and can only try it out in the preseason.

The Trail Blazers scout nearby gave a professional answer to why the Lakers didn't want Sun Yue:

"He's too old. If he's cultivated for potential, he'll be in his 30s. He's not strong enough for immediate combat. He's useless."

"Potential is what the NBA values ​​most in newcomers, followed by immediate combat effectiveness. However, Sun Yue's immediate combat effectiveness obviously does not allow him to be a helper for Kobe Bryant."

"The Lakers selected a guard this year, so they will definitely focus on training young people. Among the old draftees, only Scola can become a talent and can be plug-and-play."

Jiang Ming also said:
"Yes, there is no way around this, unless Sun Yue can develop an accurate three-point shot."

"You're right, Director Jiang. If he can defend well and shoot accurately, this level of talent can still make a living in the NBA."

"So it's the same for Xu Yong. You have to practice shooting."

Zhang Mingji patted Xu Yong who was eating next to him. Xu Yong’s current goal is Sun Yue. At least he wants to be able to enter the NBA like Sun Yue first.

“No problem, I’ll try my best!”

It had been a long time since Xu Yong had such an indulgent meal. Mainly because Jiang Ming was generous, the meal was all lobster and seafood. Jiang Ming was used to it, but for Xu Yong, it was a rare opportunity to try a foreign meal, so the novelty accounted for most of the excitement.

Finally, there is the necessary part of having dinner with the doctor:

No matter how wild the topic is, in the end, it will be about what part of your body is uncomfortable. If you want to seek advice on eating and drinking, can't you get a free consultation? ? ?

This is why doctors have such a high social status. It is the same all over the world. Who would offend a doctor for no reason?

Both scouts asked several questions about their physical discomforts, and Jiang Ming solved them all easily. Some of them even felt better after just straightening their bones.

Zhang Mingji said that he was diagnosed with fatty liver after a physical examination and felt that his blood lipids were also abnormal. He wanted Jiang Ming to give him some advice from a Chinese medicine perspective, telling him what to do and what medicine to take.

"You have a common symptom among fat people."

Jiang Ming's words made Zhang Mingji so angry that he almost fell off the stool.
"Can Jiang not be so blunt? I'm losing weight, right?"

Jiang Ming smiled and said:

"It is indeed common among fat people and those who work late at night. Don't go to nightclubs, stay away from cigarettes and alcohol, eat less snacks, and get more sleep."

"I sleep a lot, but you want me to be a monk without smoking and drinking? How can that be possible?" Zhang Mingji still has a bit of the stubbornness of a fat man. He doesn't want to improve his lifestyle habits. He wants to drink some Chinese medicine to stay healthy like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

Another one who wants external power to create a phantom god.

Jiang Ming was also very direct about this:

"The monk is much happier than you."

"But if you continue to smoke, drink and stay up all night with your boss in nightclubs, even gods can't save you. Become a monk and improve your habits as a manager. It doesn't mean you can just be carefree just because you are young or take some medicine. You have to pay attention to your lifestyle habits."

Xu Yong and the others also took Jiang Ming's words to heart.

Zhang Mingji also sighed:
"You also said you're an agent. Well, with this profession, it's hard not to drink."

"Then make it bigger and stronger, until you can say out loud that you don't want to drink."

This sentence made Zhang Mingji suddenly become emo, and everyone fell silent.

Jiang Ming naturally knew what Zhang Mingji was talking about. That's why Zhang Mingji often accompanied Yao Ming in Houston. It was because if he returned to Yao Ming's team agent's headquarters in China, he would have to attend a lot of drinking parties. If your company wants to survive, you must drink and party.

"I'll send you a Chinese herbal decoction later. It can lower blood lipids."

"Hey! Thank you, Dr. Jiang! I'll quit smoking first!"

a few days later.

A batch of medicines for making medicinal wine that Jiang Ming ordered from Zhentian Pharmaceutical arrived.

Zhang Mingji also sent 10 bottles of the best Zhuangyuanhong.

This pharmaceutical factory had not been in business for many years, so there were very few vintage products. It was easy for Zhang Mingji, who drank frequently, to deal with these things.

Jiang Ming then sent someone to call Ibaka to watch:

"Sergey, take a look at how our ancestors in China really did their craft."

Ibaka was not as impatient or impatient as imagined. Instead, he was very interested. He looked at the extra jars of ancient wine in the Chinese Medicine Department, took out his phone, and said with wide eyes:

“OK!!! Can we take the photo?”

"random."

Jiang Ming rolled up his sleeves and explained to Sean and Jiang Muyan what he was going to do.

In China, many families like to prepare medicinal wine by themselves, especially those with elderly people at home, who maintain the habit of preparing and drinking medicinal wine every year.

The advantage of self-preparation is that it is not only more economical, but also allows you to choose medicine according to your personal physical condition and characteristics, which is more targeted and the effect is more significant.

However, if you are not clear about the medicinal properties and dosage, and do not understand the common sense of preparing medicinal wine, it is best to prepare the medicine under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner, and not make it blindly on your own.

Ibaka's previous attempt to soak the bullwhip in wine was obviously a reckless act. I don't know where he got the information from but he just tried it.

This time Jiang Ming is going to make it himself, not only for his former boss, but also to give some to the whole team to taste.

The first step of making medicinal wine is to process the medicinal materials:

The medicinal materials used to prepare wine are generally cut into thin slices or crushed into coarse particles.

Generally, Chinese medicines purchased from pharmacies have already been processed and do not require special treatment.

Fresh and raw herbs often need to be processed and prepared first.

Jiang Ming can skip this step for now, because Li Yang knew that he wanted to make medicinal wine and had already processed it for him.

The second step is the most important wine selection:
If you want to be more careful, you should choose the wine according to your personal physical condition.

It is generally believed that 50-60 degree rice wine and high-quality shochu are more suitable for soaking medicinal wine.

Because the concentration of the wine is too low, the effective ingredients are not easy to be leached out, which will affect the effect, and the medicinal wine produced is also easy to deteriorate;
If the concentration of alcohol is too high, the small amount of water contained in the medicinal materials will be absorbed, making the medicinal materials hard and the effective ingredients difficult to precipitate.

For those who are not good at drinking, low-alcohol liquor, yellow wine and rice wine can also be used, but the immersion time and frequency should be appropriately extended and increased.

There is a reason why Jiang Ming chose Zhuangyuanhong, because when he was receiving inheritance in Sanqing Mountain, he saw his ancestors use this to make medicinal wine.

Zhuangyuanhong is a famous traditional Chinese wine with a long history.

In the past, every Shaoxing family would bury a jar of Huadiao wine underground after a baby was born.

If a baby boy is born, the parents hope that he will be well-read when he grows up, go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and one day he will return home to announce the good news and the parents will open the bottle of old wine to entertain their relatives and friends.

At that time, senior Chinese medicine practitioners told him that Nv'erhong was suitable for drinking alone, while Zhuangyuanhong was suitable for making medicine.

Moreover, this wine is now renamed Zhuangyuanhong, but its previous name was Longquan Wine!

It sounds domineering, and the domineering attitude becomes apparent after drinking it!
During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Cheng Yuanzhang, a native of Shangcai who was a top scholar in the imperial examination, recommended that the emperor taste the wine.

After drinking it, the emperor praised the wine as good, and ordered that any person who passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer must use "Longquan Red Wine" to entertain guests and friends. Later, the name of "Longquan Red Wine" was changed to "Top Scholar Red Wine".

During this off-season, after visiting Sanqing Mountain, Jiang Ming also went to Xun Ge'er's hometown Shaoxing. By chance, he visited the production process of this ancient Chinese famous wine.

It turned out that the ancient practice had been passed down and is still brewed according to the ancient recipe. It contains 17 kinds of nourishing Chinese medicine. The wine is rosy and clear in color and has the Chinese medicine effect of regulating qi and strengthening the foundation.

This is why Jiang Ming chose this wine to make medicinal wine. It's not that other wines are not good, but he doesn't understand and is not confident in the production process of other wines, but he is very confident in this wine.

Didn’t you see how Ibaka drooled after he opened the bottle and smelled the wine? It must be a fine wine!

The next step is to make the medicinal wine. Jiang Ming patted Ibaka's bald head with a long spoon:
"Hey, look carefully next, here comes the key step."

Under Fang Xiaotong's surprised gaze, Jiang Ming took out a small jar of wine and taught while making it.

"There are four methods in total. Let's try them all."

1. Cold Soaking Method

This method is more commonly used. The medicinal materials are crushed into pieces or coarse powder and placed in non-metallic containers such as covered ceramic or porcelain jars or stoppered glass bottles.

处方若未规定酒的用量，可按药物与白酒以1∶10～1∶5的比例，即100～200克药材加1000毫升白酒浸入，密闭放置。

Shake 1 to 2 times a day. After soaking for 7 days, you can change to shaking and stirring once a week.

After about a month, the medicinal properties will be precipitated and the wine will have a rich color. You can then remove the residue and take out the wine, store it in a bottle, and drink it slowly.

The residue can be added with wine and soaked once more. You can add one cup of wine for every cup you drink until the taste of the medicine becomes light.

If the medicinal wine needs to be added with sugar or honey for flavoring and coloring, you can dissolve the sugar in an equal amount of warm liquor, filter it, mix the medicinal liquid and the sugar liquid, stir them evenly, then filter it and you can drink the medicinal wine.

Jiang Ming also asked Ibaka to try it:

"This is how you make wine with bullwhips. It is the simplest to operate and does not require any special equipment. It is suitable for family preparation, so it is more commonly used."

"Wow, that's awesome! Now that's called professionalism!"

"The powerful ones are behind. Come, light the fire and cook some wine!"

"Okay!"

Sean, who had been prepared, hurried over to help. He had seen this method in ancient Chinese medical books, but had never seen it with his own eyes.

2. Hot soaking method (boiling wine method)

The medicinal materials and wine are first boiled together for a certain period of time, and then cooled and stored. This is an ancient method of making medicinal wine. This method can not only speed up the extraction speed, but also make some ingredients easier to extract.

You can use the indirect heating method of boiling and stewing, that is, put the medicinal materials and wine in a small aluminum pot or enamel can or other containers, and then put them in another large pot of water to stew.

The time should not be too long, otherwise the alcohol will evaporate. When bubbles appear on the surface of the medicine, immediately remove it from the stove and seal it while it is hot.

Let it stand for about 15 days, take the clear liquid from the upper part of the bottle, press out the remaining wine in the residue, mix, let it stand to clarify, and then filter.

3. Decoction method
After grinding the raw materials into powder, put them all into a casserole, add water 10 cm above the surface of the medicine, soak for 6 hours, heat and boil for 1 to 2 hours, filter, decoct again, combine the two filtrates, let stand for 1 hours, take the upper clear liquid, heat it, and concentrate it into a thick clear paste.

After cooling, add an equal amount of wine to the clear paste, stir well, put it into a jar, seal it for about 7 days, take the supernatant, filter it and drink it.

The last one is also the method often used by the people:
4. Winemaking method
Add water to the raw materials, boil them, filter out the residue, and concentrate them into medicinal juice.

Some medicines, such as mulberry, pear, bayberry, etc., can be directly squeezed to obtain the juice, and then the glutinous rice can be steamed into rice, the glutinous rice, the juice and the wine yeast are mixed evenly, placed in a clean container, covered and sealed, placed in a warm place, try to minimize contact with the air, maintain a certain temperature, and it will be ready in about 4 to 6 days.

This method is similar to the common fermented rice wine making method in the Jiangnan region, and is simple and common along with the cold soaking method.

Therefore, these two methods are the main methods for making medicinal wine today.

"I have some fresh bull whips, goat eggs and other things at home. Do you want to soak them here?"

Ibaka really wanted to use his favorite food to soak, but Jiang Ming rejected it:
"I have bought all the ingredients, and the brewing effect is no less than yours."

Jiang Ming had already thought about it when he bought the medicinal materials. This time he mainly wanted to make four kinds of medicinal liquor.

The first one is the Yinan wine that men love the most, and it is also the most suitable gift for former bosses and male staff of pioneers.

While asking Fang Xiaotong to take the herbs, Jiang Ming wrote a note and stuck it on the first large glass jar that he had prepared:
Yinan wine

[Recipe] 30 grams each of whole angelica, poria, wolfberry, Cyathula, Eucommia, longan meat, walnut meat and raisins, and 2500 ml of Zhuangyuanhong.

[Preparation method] Crush the first 8 ingredients, put them in a container, add Zhuangyuanhong, seal, and place in a watertight container.
[Function] Nourishes the liver and kidneys, and improves essence and blood.

[Main Indications] Liver and kidney deficiency, replenishing Yang Qi

[Usage] Oral administration. Take 10 ml each time, twice a day.

This kind of medicinal wine is recorded in the recipes of ancient "Tongshoulu" and "Medicinal Wine Compilation".

Of course, foreigners may not know what Yi Nan Wine means, so Jiang Ming also wrote another simple English name:

"It's a man's drink."

There are drinks suitable for men, and there must be drinks suitable for women. Women are most annoyed by the one or two weeks of menstruation, so Jiang Ming directly made a large jar of winter antler liver and blood dew.

[Recipe] 30 grams of Salvia miltiorrhiza, 12 grams each of Chuanxiong, Shouwu, Licorice, and Huoshen, 9 grams each of Lycium barbarum, White Cardamom, and Schisandra chinensis, 6 grams of Deer antler, 15 grams each of Atractylodes macrocephala (charred), lotus seed, Polygala tenuifolia, Angelica sinensis, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Phellodendron chinense, 250 grams of white sugar, and 2500 ml of Zhuangyuanhong.

[Preparation method] Crush the first 15 ingredients, put them into a cloth bag, place it in a container, add Zhuangyuanhong and sugar. Seal, steam for 3 hours, remove from heat and let cool, soak in soil for 3 days to remove the fire poison, and then filter out the residue for 5 days.

[Function] Nourishes blood and essence, promotes blood circulation and dredges meridians.

[Indications] Amenorrhea, metrorrhagia, leucorrhea, soreness of waist and legs, blood stasis caused by kidney yang deficiency, insufficient essence and blood, and blood stasis; infertility due to yang deficiency and insufficient essence and blood.

[Usage] Oral administration. Take 15-30 ml each time, 3 times a day.

There is no need to refer to any ancient books for this. This is a recipe for medicinal wine that all modern Chinese medicine practitioners have. After women drink it, their lower bodies will be full of strength, which is enough to prevent bad things like menstruation from affecting their lives.

There is also another type of light wine that is used by men, women, young and old.

As the name suggests, wine makes the body feel relaxed.

[Recipe] 60 grams of Polygonum multiflorum, 30 grams each of whole angelica, Cistanche deserticola, sesame seeds, and Rehmannia glutinosa, 60 grams of honey, and 2000 ml of Zhuangyuanhong.

[Preparation] Grind the first five ingredients into powder, put them into a cloth bag, place them in a container, add white wine, seal, shake several times every other day, soak for 5 days, filter out the residue, add honey, mix well, and it is ready.

[Function] Nourishes essence and moistens dryness.

[Main Indications] Symptoms such as sore waist and fat, dizziness, blurred vision, dry intestines and constipation.

[Usage] Oral administration. Take 10-20 ml each time, 3 times a day.

Drinking this regularly and in regular amounts throughout the year can definitely prolong your life, so it is true that those people in the news who say that they drink every day live to be a hundred years old, but the amount needs to be controlled.

The fourth type is a kind of wine that is always available in traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies.

Special medicinal wine for traumatic injuries!

This kind of thing is generally not sold. If someone has an acute injury from a fall and comes to the pharmacy, they will usually help to wipe it off.

Because the players cannot drink alcohol during the season, Jiang Ming made them Panax notoginseng wine for external use.

[Formula] 120g each of Radix Notoginseng, Dracaena, and Amber, 150g each of Radix Majianzi (fried until yellow and hair removed), 90g of Polygonum multiflorum, and Zhuangyuanhong.

[Preparation method] Slice 20 grams of garlic, put it in a container, add Zhuangyuanhong, seal it, soak it for more than two months, filter out the residue, and it is ready.

[Function] Oral administration. Take 15-30 ml each time, 1-2 times a day.

For external use: If there is swelling or pain, rub the affected area 2-3 times a day.

For wounds, apply a sterile gauze or cotton pad soaked in water, then bandage it. Change the dressing once a day.

Therefore, this can be taken orally by non-players and used externally by players. It may also be the most commonly used medicinal wine in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the future.

"Okay, let's soak it first and wait for the results."

Jiang Ming clapped his hands after finishing his work quickly with the help of Ibaka. He was a little excited.

I am mainly looking forward to seeing how things will be different when I am with Fang Xiaotong and Jiang Muyan at night after drinking Yinan wine. Will it be more comfortable?

"Once the Yinan wine and Sanqi Diageo wine are ready, send a pot of each to Mr. Larry Weinberg."

"No problem!" Robert nodded. His former boss Larry Weinberg really liked drinking.

Ibaka next to him stroked and said:
"Director, will you sell this wine in the future? I want to buy some for my brothers and friends!"

Jiang Ming smiled and said:

"I won't sell it for now. Let's try it ourselves first. If it tastes good, we can have different kinds later. If we really want to sell medicinal liquor, these four won't do."

Jiang Ming thought that the stores in China that specialized in selling medicinal liquor were filled with rows of jars of medicinal liquor, which contained all kinds of strange things. Patients with almost all diseases could buy therapeutic medicinal liquor suitable for them there.

Therefore, if we really want to sell it to the outside, it will definitely not be made here in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and we will not personally brew every jar of medicinal wine ourselves.

We need to move to a bigger place!
PS: I just saw a news report yesterday that someone was going to use a hornet to make wine, but it ran out, and he closed the door and escaped. All three dogs in the yard were bitten, haha~~
Have you ever drunk medicinal wine?
