Chapter 151 Expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine
"It goes without saying that the good news is that the sober medicine must have been successfully improved." Since Zeng Xuerou called, it had already been explained.But since the improvement of the medicine was successful, what problems would there be?
"After I got the pills, for the convenience of comparison, I made a medicine according to the doses of kudzu root and peppermint you prepared for my mother before. You also know that at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, my mother has a lot of entertainment, so let her identify it. The most reliable thing is that after taking it, she said that the effect of the improved sober medicine is not as good as the decoction medicine." This shortcoming is on the note attached to the box of Sanjiu Ganmaoling Well, the "experts" have already explained to Erwa that the effect of the improved pills will be half as bad as expected.

Even if this is the result, it is already much better than what Zeng Xuerou imagined. After all, in her original idea, even if the expert on the forum prepared the medicine, he would probably ask for a high salary or a patent. dividends.

But the other party didn't know whether it was because of negligence or because they were too busy, so they didn't make it, and didn't ask Xi Lijuan to convey such a request.

"Oh, I thought it was something else. If it's the efficacy of the medicine, it's not a big problem. We can look for older medicinal materials to replace it. The kudzu root and mint leaves that my great-grandma bought last time are very common medicinal materials. , the effect of the annual medicine is quite common, we at least need to find three-year-old kudzu root slices and fresh mint, and that’s enough.” Xiaoxian heaved a sigh of relief, but it’s normal for her to use high-year herbal medicine to compensate for the medicine’s effect , but to Zeng Xuerou's ears, it was unbelievable.

The sliced ​​kudzu root and mint leaves wrapped in kraft paper bought by my great-grandmother that day, how can I tell the year? Could it be that herbs have annual rings like ordinary trees?

"Don't worry, go ask Grandma Zeng where is BJ's herbal medicine wholesale market, we'll get up there tomorrow morning and have a look, we're sure we can pick out the right herbal medicine," Xiao Xian chatted about her game today , at the end, she asked again, "Xuerou, what do you think will change a person in four years?"

"Four years," Zeng Xuerou's eyes darkened. Four years ago, not long after her father passed away, she fell from heaven to hell, from a lively and cheerful self to a gloomy person. If she hadn't met Xiaoxian, maybe she will continue to sink, "It's so big, it's so big that you can't recognize it at all."

The Kenai Cup match was held the next day. On the second day of the first lunar month, Xiaoxian carried a messenger bag that Zhuo Feng found out from the box on his back. It was bought by Zhuo Feng not long ago. Since Xiaoxian was not at home, It has been pressed at the bottom of the box.

"Uncle, Uncle, Xuerou is here to pick me up," Xiaoxian heard the sound of the horn honking downstairs.

Zhuo Feng responded, still holding the useless gardening manual in his hand, Feng Xing raised his head and asked, "Where are you going? Do you want Uncle to take you there?"

"No, Xuerou has a car," Xiao Xian went downstairs like a bird leaving its cage.

"Oh, the children are really happy now. They have a car at such a young age. I think I worked hard for several years before I bought my first small Alto, and it was in installments. Wait a minute, Afeng, Xiaoxian's friend How old are you? Why are you driving?" Feng Xing was startled.

"How can a child drive it? If a family is rich, they must have hired a driver. They just like to worry about it, and they always say that they are from Shandong!" Zhuo Feng said angrily, "If you are free, just accompany me to drive the driver. Send that daffodil to the Winter Flower Show."

BJ has a flower and bird market, a fruit wholesale market, and a book market, but it is rare to hear of a large-scale herbal medicine market.

Grandma Zeng still inquired with an old Chinese doctor she knew well, only to find out about the Chinese herbal medicine wholesale market in the neighboring area. There are large-scale and small-scale herbal medicine shops there. An ordinary old mountain farmer carrying a basket and just dug out the coriander root from the mountain can be regarded as a shop.

"I heard from my grandma's friend that the large Chinese herbal medicine market is in Baoding, Hebei. There is a wholesale market called Anguo Chinese medicine, where half of the Chinese herbal medicines are sold. Just find a larger herbal medicine wholesale store, and it will be fine."

As Zeng Xuerou spoke, he had already arrived at BJ's herbal medicine market.At the beginning of the new year, there were quite a lot of vehicles coming from the north and the south, so Zeng Xuerou had to park the car in a neighborhood next door.

It may be because of the new year, the stocks in BJ's traditional Chinese medicine stores and some small vendors have been exhausted. Even though it is only early in the morning, the whole traditional Chinese medicine wholesale street is already full of people.

Looking around on the Herb Street, Xiao Xian and Zeng Xuerou both opened their eyes. From the fat sea, wolfberry, and Codonopsis that ordinary people can call famous, to the medicinal materials that ordinary people can hardly imagine, there are all here.

"Is that considered medicine? Isn't this marble?" Even Zeng Xuerou, who always claimed to be calm, couldn't help pointing to one of the "taste" medicines and asked.

Isn't that right, the medicine shouldn't be cut into slices, with leaves growing and sun-dried and yellowed. Zeng Xuerou pointed to a bag of marbles of different sizes and cut into pieces.The living room of their house is paved with marble floor. Although the pattern and the packaging in the bag are slightly different, they can still be recognized at a glance.

Xiao Xian picked up the piece with his bare hands and tapped it with his fingers to make sure it was a stone.

"Of course it's medicine. It can promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals, and it can also stop bleeding. You are a city kid, so you must not know that even if the hen has a bad stomach, you can eat a few stones to smooth it out," said the medicine seller Yaonong (or the Said to be a quarryman), wrapped in a thick cotton jacket and wearing a Northeast Chinese hat, answered in a urn.He just replied briefly, and after he finished speaking, he negotiated the price with the regular customer next to him who asked the price.

This street is full of well-established merchants. You can guess at a glance that Xiaoxian and the others are not here to buy medicines. Although the business of buying medicines is not as eye-catching and experienced as looking at antiques, it is still well-known. .

Not to mention the ages of Xiao Xian and Zeng Xuerou, they are still half-grown children from left to right, and there are no experienced pharmacists or old Chinese doctors by their side, so it looks like they are here to join in the fun.A while ago, there were a few students from prestigious universities who liked to come and go on the street all day long, saying that doing social surveys would only make people waste their saliva.

Opening a new year, doing a good business with a good start, but it indicates that there will be a lot of money in the year. All the big and small shops on the street have that idea, and there are even fewer people who care about Xiao Xian and the others.

Zeng Xuerou was still calm, no wonder others underestimated them, they didn't even know about marble or flavored medicine.Xiaoxian didn't feel that he was under the cold rain, but he was very interested in smelling the smell of dust and herbs all over the street.

For the medicinal materials on the street, she can probably see [-]% or [-]% of them, but she didn't say anything.As for the remaining [-]%, there are reasons for their age, and some are not plants themselves, just like the beautifully patterned marble and some turtle shells.

"Let's listen on the sidelines first, and then we'll ask about the hangover medicine after we've heard some tricks." Fortunately, there was a lot of noise on the street, and there was no one to answer, so Zeng Xuerou took Xiaoxian to find a house to watch It is the wholesale store with the largest appearance and the most complete medicinal materials.Pretentiously lowering their heads, or touching the cut Angelica dahurica, or asking about Prunella vulgaris, it looks like they are picking medicines.

The herbal medicine shop accidentally selected by Xiaoxian and Zeng Xuerou has been open on the whole street for more than 20 years, and it is indeed an old shop.Although the name of the store is old, it has a name that has nothing to do with Chinese herbal medicine, called "Plum Rice Ball".

It is different from other wholesale stores that pile up herbs indiscriminately.

The herbal medicines in this shop called "Plum Rice Ball" are neatly arranged.Some are based on the place of production, some are based on the curative effect, and some are based on the quality of the year.

There are also many more people in the store than in other wholesale stores. Every apprentice and good pharmacist is busy. Among them, a gray-haired old man is the most popular. There are several circles of people around him. Talking all over and asking.

"Huang Yaoshi, the high-grade Gastrodia elata that we promised last year, has it arrived yet?"

"Huang Yaoshi, the wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain that our boss wants, have you brought it here?"

"Huang Yaoshi, my daughter-in-law has weakness in limbs and loss of appetite for the past few days. She said she wants to touch the traditional Chinese medicine and drink it. Can you show me what kind of tonic you want to drink?"

Zeng Xuerou clicked her tongue as she listened, these people asked all kinds of questions, one type of people bought goods, one type of people bought precious medicinal herbs through special channels, and another type of people came to see a doctor to get medicine.

Is this store engaged in wholesale, and what is the origin of that "fake Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi?
"Don't worry, old Liu, Gastrodia elata is available, but it's a little smaller. But your store is going to cut into slices and dispense medicines for customers. It's okay if the quality is a little bit different. I'll pay less for each bag later. You are 500 yuan." The old man's voice just fell, and the person who asked the question first seemed to have won a treasure, and followed the apprentice to the warehouse to pick up the goods.

"Wild ginseng is gone, wild ginseng grows in a remote place, and only experienced ginseng pickers can find a place. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the ginseng farmers in the Northeast will celebrate the New Year. Who would want to go to places with dangerous terrain? Picking ginseng. But don’t worry, I still have half a hundred-year-old ginseng left over from a few years ago in my shop. At that time, a bureau chief in the city was only half alive, so he cut half of it and used it to save his life. There’s not half of it left, take it back to your boss, take one tablet every day, and ensure that he will be energetic from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.” Another person was dismissed, and happily went to the medicine cabinet to buy the so-called old medicine that was pressed at the bottom of the cabinet. I went.

"Your daughter-in-law, you don't need to take medicine. Her limbs are weak and her appetite is poor. Is it because of the beginning of the New Year's Eve, she played mahjong for three days all night, and she was unlucky and lost money. She is the year of birth, If I want her to recover her strength, buying traditional Chinese medicine is better than buying a prosperous zodiac year clothing, and if you win money, you will gain strength," the old man laughed, and everyone beside him burst into laughter.

Xiaoxian and Zeng Xuerou also laughed.This old farmer named Huang Yaoshi was really famous, and he dismissed all the defective goods, those who couldn't sell them, and those who went to see a doctor indiscriminately.

The crowd around him dispersed one by one, and Huang Yaoshi spoke dryly, taking a few sips of water in the gap.After drinking the water, I realized that there were still two little girls standing in the store who had been buying medicine for most of the day.

"Hehe, little girl, are you also here to buy medicine? Or are you here to buy scented tea like other people's homes?" Huang Yaoshi's store is different from some shops on the street. This store also does wholesale and retail, so there are often I came into contact with some young people who came to drink scented tea in fashion.

Just as Zeng Xuerou was about to speak, he felt his hands being squeezed several times, and then looked at Xiao Xian, seeing her winking, he followed suit and remained silent.

"We're here to buy scented tea, but we don't know what to drink?" Xiaoxian was still holding a few peach blossoms with buds in her hand.

"Both of them have to buy it? Don't worry, scented tea is not drunk. Let me take a good look," Huang Yaoshi looked at Xiao Xian and Zeng Xuerou, and then asked them to stick out their tongues and roll their eyelids to look.

"The flavors of tea next to you are not suitable, and the teas you both want to buy are also different." Huang Yaoshi first said to Zeng Xuerou: "Your eyes are black and blue, you often have inexplicable chest tightness and shortness of breath, and occasionally you get nausea and retch when you wake up in the morning ?”

When Zeng Xuerou heard this, he nodded quickly, especially this time, this feeling is obvious.

"Working hard, suffering from insomnia at night, no matter how old a child is, there are so many things hidden in his heart. There is nothing in the world that you can't let go of. You don't need to take medicine anymore, exercise properly, and learn to be cheerful, and everything will go smoothly." The old man Zeng Xuerou's answer surprised Zeng Xuerou, but it seemed to be reasonable.From the time her father passed away to the time she entered Sacred Heart High School, she didn't want to let her mother down, and she didn't want to let her teacher down, she was under pressure all the time.

Learning to be cheerful is easier said than done.

"As for you, the little girl is full of blood and has done enough exercise, but the tongue coating is yellow and greasy. It seems that you have eaten too much during the Chinese New Year. I will mix some hawthorn and red dates for you. Fry it and drink it. It will be done in a few days. What Huang Yaoshi said is also true, eating too much fish and meat in Xiao Xian Nian Pass, I often feel bloated.

This old pharmacist not only has superb medical skills, but also has a good character, and he didn't easily ignore and fool them because of their age, but actually helped them ask for a doctor.

Zeng Xuerou also understood what Xiao Xian meant just now, she just wanted to see what kind of person Huang Yaoshi was.Now that people can see clearly, it's time to ask serious questions.

"Huang Yaoshi?" This name still made Zeng Xuerou a little uncomfortable. At that time, Hong Kong TVB's "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was being broadcast on the TV station. Those who buy herbal tea, we are here to buy medicinal materials, especially good ones, Xiaoxian, right?"

Regarding traditional Chinese medicine, Zeng Xuerou handed over everything to Xiao Xian. Although she also thought that Xiao Xian could only be regarded as superficial compared to an old Chinese pharmacist like Huang Yaoshi, but Xiao Xian told the age of the medicinal materials. Zeng Xuerou also remembered the scene clearly.

"We need a lot of unprocessed kudzu root, and all of them are old kudzu root that is more than three years old," Xiao Xian made the request, specifically emphasizing the three-year age. According to her calculations, the age is too long, too scarce, and in vain Waste of money.If the age is too young, it will affect the effect. After all, three years is the best, but the premise is that there must be qualified medicines in the pharmacy.

After Huang Yaoshi finished listening, he took another deep look at Xiaoxian and Zeng Xuerou, and muttered to himself, as if he still had something to hide.As the most established herb store in BJ, even if the store doesn't have it, he can come over with other colleagues.

It's been a while since these two little girls entered the store, and they looked like they were not kidding, they probably wanted to buy it.But the problem also came out, is what they want to buy kudzu root?Pueraria lobata is not a high-priced traditional Chinese medicine. Ordinary pharmacies don’t pay too much attention to the year.If you switch to high-priced medicines such as ginseng, the chance of being mistaken is much smaller.

Even Huang Yaoshi himself may not be able to tell the truth.The three-year-old kudzu root should be neither high nor low, and the price should be moderate.

"We still have a batch of kudzu root in stock in our store, but I can't tell you the exact year. Why don't I take you in and have a look at the high-priced and low-priced ones. Let's see if you like it." Huang Yaoshi pays attention to fair trading when buying medicines. , but he is also a businessman, and a businessman must make a profit.That's why he asked Xiaoxian to go into the warehouse to look at it by himself.

"Okay," Xiaoxian immediately agreed without hesitation.

Just about to go out, a woman in her twenties and wearing fur came in from the store: "Where is he? I have a century-old ginseng plant here, come out and give me an estimate."

Thank you for the pink tickets of "Dongerluo Aster" and "Tianheranxin". It's the 30th, and I can still get a ticket. Let's count it as an addition, the fourth watch, jumping away with the lid on the top of the pot.
