Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 397: Doctor's advice to Lao Meng, open another box of benefits

Meng Jimin took off his gold-rimmed glasses and said:

"I have headaches, tinnitus, blurry vision, my face feels hot after sitting for a long time, and I feel irritable and can't sleep at night."

"Dry mouth, backache, weak legs, and constipation."

Fangyan began to diagnose him dialectically.

Then he said:

"The tongue is red, the pulse is stringy and strong, and the left radial pulse is weaker."

"You have hyperactivity of liver yang, depletion of kidney yin, liver not being nourished, wind stirring and fire rising, all the symptoms are present."

Meng Jimin put his glasses back on and asked:
"What should we do? Give me a charter."

The dialect said:

"Take a leave to rest. Also, when you get home at night, don't play with your wife for the time being. You don't know how to play, and you are getting weaker and weaker."

Meng Jimin: "Ahem..."

He scratched his head awkwardly and said
"The latter one is fine, but I can't take leave. I can't leave. Just give me some medicine."

Fangyan nodded and said:

"In your case, you should urgently calm down the wind to suppress the wind and fire, nourish the kidneys and soften the liver, and treat the root cause."

Then Fang Yan took out a pen from his jacket pocket, took the prescription written by Meng Jimin, and began to write on it.

The prescription was ready in a short while.

After tearing it off, Fang Yan said to him:
"I won't write the medical records. You know your own body well."

Meng Jimin nodded and took the prescription from Fang Yan. He adjusted his glasses and read carefully in a low voice:
"18g each of large raw rehmannia, raw stone crab, purple shellfish, processed Polygonum multiflorum, 12g each of Sichuan dendrobium, raw white peony root, mulberry, and terrestris, 30g each of roasted tortoise shell and raw malt, and 2.5g of licorice."

After reading it, he frowned slightly and asked:

"Where did you learn this recipe? It looks familiar..."

Fang Yan said to him:
"There is something similar in Mr. Zhu's notes, but that one is more serious. It used centipedes, leeches, scorpions, and silkworms. Yours is totally unnecessary."

Meng Jimin suddenly realized when he heard this:
"Oh, I remember now! The medical record of the 59-year-old worker named Ren?!"

Dialect nod:

"Yes."

Meng Jimin slapped himself on the forehead with the prescriptions one after another and said:

"Oh, you see, my brain has been really busy lately."

"It looks familiar, but I just can't place it in my mind."

Fang Yan heard Meng Jimin's state and realized that he was obviously overworking his brain, so he said to him:
"It just so happens that there are good things in the welfare box."

"You can eat some after you cure your current illness."

Meng Jimin asked curiously:

"what?"

The dialect said:

"Snow frog and ginseng are both medicinal herbs that can treat overuse of the brain."

Meng Jimin was shocked when he heard this and asked in surprise:
"Snow frog? Ginseng! Is this a functional thing that can be given out as a welfare benefit? Is it true?"

He really couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true." Fangyan responded.

Meng Jimin touched the big box and said:
"Is the research institute so generous in providing welfare? How much can be packed into such a big box?"

Fangyan was at a loss for words and explained:

"I'm only talking about part of it. There are other things in it, all of them are snow frogs and ginseng. You really dare to imagine!"

Meng Jimin was stunned when he heard this. He actually thought that the whole box was full of snow frog and ginseng.

Is it true that my brain is no longer working properly?
Or did I trust what Lao Fang said too much and ignore logic?
Fang Yan certainly didn't know what Meng Jimin was thinking, so he reminded him:

"The contents of the other larger box are different. I haven't opened it to look at it, but I guess there should be a lot of good stuff in it."

Meng Jimin nodded.

Fangyan stood up and said:
"Okay, if everything is ok, I'll leave first."

"There are thieves everywhere lately. I have to go back to look after the house."

Thinking of the fighting power of dialects, Meng Jimin said:

"Who would risk their life to steal your courtyard?"

The dialect said:

"That's hard to say. Go ahead and take care of yourself. Remember to take your medicine on time."

Meng Jimin shook the prescription in his hand:
"I'll go downstairs to get the medicine and take you out at the same time."

"Let's go." He walked out speaking in dialect.

Meng Jimin followed closely behind, and the two of them went downstairs.

When going down the stairs, Meng Jimin asked in dialect:

"By the way, you said the book will be printed in a few days, so is our group still there?"

Fangyan responded:
"Of course not. It's cancelled after it's completed. It's not like I haven't said that before."

Meng Jimin said:
"That's a shame. I won't be able to receive the gift packs for the Winter Solstice and New Year's Day."

Fangyan found it a little funny and said to him:
"The Chinese Pharmacopoeia Editorial Committee and the Ear Area Therapy Research Group have not been disbanded yet."

"As long as they send it, you can definitely get it."

Meng Jimin said in a mean voice:
"Well, if I don't count, I'll get one less."

Fangyan shook his head speechlessly:

"You sound like you're in need of these things..."

Meng Jimin complained in a low voice:
"Who can complain about too much good? Look at our Dongzhimen Hospital. There is no response today. I guess we have already used up the budget for this year."

Fangyan thought for a moment and said:
"It seems that Dean Ouyang has made very precise calculations in this regard."

Speaking of Dean Ouyang, he is also in the exchange team this time.

So Fang Yan asked Meng Jimin:

"By the way, didn't Dean Ouyang also go to Japan? Do you know what their recent "Imperial Collection of Medical Prescriptions" is all about?" Meng Jimin was startled and said:

"Brother, if you don't know, how should I know...Your connections at the research institute are much better than mine."

"You initiated the whole plan, and you still ask me..."

When I heard this guy, I knew he didn't know.

Fangyan shook his head:
"I didn't want to ask you, but unfortunately Vice President Zhao is not here. I thought you might have some news."

"My rank is not high enough." Meng Jimin shrugged. He really could not do anything about this matter. After all, the news in this area was only spread among a small number of people.

It only makes the news when there are major breakthroughs.

Fang Yan came to the door of the outpatient building, looked at the flying snow and the howling wind outside, tightened his clothes and said:
"Okay, that's it. I'll be leaving now."

Meng Jimin nodded:

"Okay, it's snowing on the road, ride slowly."

Fangyan waved his hand and walked into the snow and wind.

After a while, he rode his motorcycle out of Dongzhimen Hospital and headed towards home.

……

The wind was strong and the snow was heavy along the way, and Fangyan could hardly open his eyes. He suddenly remembered that Anton had bought him two pairs of windproof glasses to protect him from pepper spray.

So when he rode to Dongzhimen South Street, Fangyan stopped the bike, opened the storage box on the side of the truck, and sure enough, he saw the windproof glasses inside.

After putting it on in no time, Fangyan started riding again and could finally see clearly.

Ride from Dongzhimen Hospital all the way to Chaoyangmen South Street, in a straight line.

It was almost three kilometers away, and there was no pedestrian along the way except for the bus.

Turn the corner and you will enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

In just a moment, Fangyan was covered with a layer of snow.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Fangyan quickly opened it and pushed the cart in.

After pushing the car into the house, Fangyan brushed off the snowflakes on his body.

Then he took the kettle and poured himself a glass of water. After drinking two sips, he took the box out of the car.

One of the two boxes at the publishing house has been opened, and one knows what's inside the other one without opening it. The one at the research institute has not been opened, and Fangyan wants to take a look at what's inside.

Fangyan put the slightly larger box on the table, found a pair of scissors, and cut the box open.

Then he opened the lid of the box and the contents came into view.

Use closed white cloth bags to pack things neatly one by one.

As soon as Fangyan picked it up, he smelled a fishy smell from the sea and immediately knew what was inside.

Open one of the pockets and you will see a thumb-sized dried sea cucumber inside.

In another area, when you open it, you can see orange-yellow scallops.

Then there are dried squid, seaweed, kelp, dried shrimp, and even a rare bag of sea rice rolls, which used to be the secret weapon of Shandong restaurants and is even more delicious than MSG.

There were actually two pieces of fish maw in the last pocket.

This is one of the eight delicacies of the sea.

Also called fish maw, fish glue, and fish bladder.

The main producing areas are the coast of China and the Nanyang Islands. It is made from fish maw, which is cut open and dried.

The fish maw is quite large. Fangyan weighed it and found that at least one dry piece was about 100 grams, and it was bright in color. Fangyan had bought this thing to eat in his previous life. The quality of this fish maw is very good among ordinary consumer-grade fish maws.

Of course, it can't be compared with the extremely expensive ones.

But again, it's really impressive that the company can issue something like this.

I just don't know if this thing is worth money these days? After all, I haven't seen anyone selling it in Beijing.

It seems that Tong Ren Tang can transfer goods, but I have never used the dialect, so I didn’t transfer it.

Yes, fish maw is also a medicine, and it was included in the first edition of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia".

The Chinese custom of eating fish belly can be traced back to before the Han Dynasty. The "Qimin Yaoshu" written more than 1600 years ago recorded what is now called fish belly.

"Ben Cao Qiu Yuan" records: "It nourishes the tendons and veins, stabilizes the hands and joints, and consolidates the essence."

The New Compendium of Materia Medica records that it can "replenish essence and blood" and "fish maw is thick and sticky, and it can replenish essence in the kidneys. However, if it is greasy and stagnant, adding ginseng can make the qi flow through it, which can help the essence to be more abundant without the disadvantage of stickiness."

It can treat boils, swelling, unexplained swelling, skin rupture, malignant tumors, back pain, rheumatic back pain, stomach disease, tuberculosis, whooping cough, vomiting blood, aplastic anemia, impotence, tracheitis, maternal hemorrhage and postpartum abdominal pain.

In addition, it has good therapeutic effects on kidney stones, gastric and duodenal ulcers, rheumatic heart disease, gynecological pedicles and irregular menstruation.

However, it is not suitable for people with poor stomach, excessive phlegm, thick and greasy tongue coating, poor appetite and excessive phlegm and dampness.

There was also a list stuffed inside.

It explains the names of the various items inside and their places of origin.

Most of them are from Guangdong.

These two pieces of fish maw also came from there.

I have heard dialects in my previous life, and the best fish maw is called "Guangdu" in Guangdong.

The "hairy fish maw" from Fujian is inferior, and other fish maws from Nanyang are even inferior.

This unit is really willing to give it!
It is said that key units have good welfare benefits.

At this moment, Fangyan suddenly understood Meng Jimin a little. If he received one less box later, he would feel a little bit at a loss.

After expressing his feelings, Fangyan packed up everything.

I'll show it to my wife later. I'll probably scare her too.

This is probably better than the welfare they receive at Concord Hospital.

"Woof woof! Woof! Woof woof woof!" At this time Fangyan suddenly heard the dog barking in the utility room next to the kitchen.

This dog rarely barks. Fangyan frowned, feeling something was wrong.

'Is there a thief? ' a thought came to my mind.

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" on the roof, as if something had fallen down, and then followed by a scream of "Ah", the tiles creaked, and then there was a "pop" and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and hitting the bluestone slabs was heard in the yard.
