After hearing this, Xie Wan felt a little upset.
From the vigorous prescription donation movement in the 1950s, to the subsequent dispute between Chinese and Western medicine, and then to the start of subsequent movements, how many traditional Chinese medicine families were wiped out and secret prescriptions were lost. It was truly a sin!
Even the Le family, who had surrendered at the very beginning and took the lead in robbing their colleagues, had their wives and children all beaten to death, and the head of the family, Le Songsheng, was forced to commit suicide?
The most important techniques of the Le family's three magical medicines and ten proven recipes have also been lost.
Therefore, there is such a huge gap between the efficacy of Tong Ren Tang medicines in later generations and those passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth.
Xie Wan felt a little regretful that he came too late.
Even if she wanted to save those lost secret recipes now, it would be difficult to find them as the people who mastered the secret recipes passed away one after another.
Xie Wan could only be thankful that she met Xu Xingbai and preserved the inheritance of Chunfutang.
I don’t dare to think too deeply about other things.
There are some aspects of things that she cannot change or touch upon on her own.
After seeing Xie Changle off, Xie Wan was originally planning to return to Yucheng to continue his studies.
That night, Chu Jiangnan suddenly came to his house.
It was Chu Jiangnan’s first time to visit Xie Wan and Qin Muye’s home.
Because his relationship with Qin Muye was more like that of brothers, Xie Wan prepared three dishes and a soup for them, and also brought back a bottle of Wuliangye from Xie Dahong, and treated Chu Jiangnan to a good meal.
Chu Jiangnan looked pale, and it was obvious that he had been staying up late for several nights.
While Xie Wan was preparing the wine and food, he had already fallen asleep on the camp bed in the main room of Xie Wan's house.
Xie Wan brought the dishes into the house. Qin Muye put his middle finger to his lips, but Xie Wan didn't make a sound.
The two tiptoed into the inner room, and Xie Wan asked quietly, "Why is he so tired?"
Qin Muye said: "It's still the case of Wu Liqin. He just said that in Nancheng alone, dozens of people involved in the case were arrested..."
It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Chu Jiangnan woke up.
"Ah? Why did I fall asleep?"
This man was not polite at all at Xie Wan and Qin Muye's house. As soon as he woke up, he went to the table.
"Oh, Xiao Xie prepared such a delicious dish, I let it down."
In fact, Xie Wan didn’t cook any good dishes.
She would never give the good things in the space to Chu Jiangnan.
Who made this girl so cunning? Xie Wan was afraid that she would find out something.
I just steamed a plate of bacon, fried a plate of peanuts, stir-fried Swiss chard, and made an egg drop soup.
"The food is cold, Captain Chu, wait a minute, I'll go heat it up."
Chu Jiangnan blocked the dish with his hands and said, "No, it's summer, we can eat it cold."
Xie Wan only took the plate of bacon, went out to steam it and brought it back.
Bacon is not easy to chew when it is cold, and eating it can easily cause diarrhea or indigestion, so it is best to eat it hot.
This bacon was pickled by the Xie family during the Spring Festival. No other family would have any left over until summer, but Xie Wan gave his family so much meat during the Spring Festival that some of it is still left over now.
But even Chu Jiangnan couldn't say anything.
Aren’t people allowed to save food until summer?
Qin Muye and Chu Jiangnan have already started drinking with peanuts.
Xie Wan brought back the bacon, and Chu Jiangnan asked Xie Wan to sit down and eat together.
Xie Wan did not refuse.
While Chu Jiangnan was waiting for wake up, the couple had secretly closed the inner room and entered the space to have a good meal.
The beef that Xie Wan braised in the space was cut into thin slices and mixed with coriander, chili oil, crushed peanuts and other seasonings. It was much more delicious than the three dishes and one soup on the table.
Qin Muye felt a little guilty when he heard Chu Jiangnan praising the couple for their hospitality.
He was really afraid that he would burp and let Chu Jiangnan smell the beef in his mouth.
Xie Wan just picked up two peanuts and ate them, and toasted Chu Jiangnan with tea instead of wine.
"Captain Chu, thank you for your care over the past year. Without you, I wouldn't be able to go to school, nor would I have the opportunity to go abroad to gain experience..."
Chu Jiangnan drank the glass happily.
"Oh, Xiao Xie treated me to such a high standard that he even gave me some Wuliangye..."
Xie Wan didn't feel guilty at all, and flattered: "Captain Chu, this is your first time visiting our home, so of course we have to treat you with the best food and wine.
It’s a pity that we were in such a rush that we could only prepare these dishes.”
Chu Jiangnan put down his wine glass and sighed.
He originally thought that the couple would ask him why he was sighing, so he could tell them the purpose of his visit today.
Unexpectedly, the couple ignored the conversation. Qin Muye just drank while glancing at Xie Wan out of the corner of his eye, while Xie Wan was only busy picking up food for Qin Muye and even advised Qin Muye to drink less.
"Xiao Wan, don't just pick up food for me, eat it yourself too.
The fried peanuts you made today are so delicious."
"Delicious, right? Come on, open your mouth, I'll feed you another one."
Chu Jiangnan was inexplicably fed a mouthful of dog food. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his mouth, and he felt very tired.
He couldn't help but say directly, "Xiao Xie, you still have two weeks before school starts, right?"
Xie Wan nodded.
"Yes, there are still two weeks left, but I have already promised Teacher Zhou that I will go back the day after tomorrow.
I took these few days off because I had family matters to attend to. "
Chu Jiangnan pretended to be concerned and asked, "Xiao Xie, you are now studying Western medicine at the Military Medical University. Are you still the successor of Chunfu Hall?"
Xie Wan nodded and said, "I don't know if it counts as a legacy, but it definitely counts as a successor."
Chu Jiangnan showed a look of delight, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Xie, I have a piece of information that concerns the survival of your traditional Chinese medicine. You will definitely take care of it, right?"
Xie Wan was stunned. She knew that Chu Jiangnan came to their house specially to sleep, and was willing to spend time staying for dinner and drinks, so there must be something going on.
Eight out of ten sentences this person spoke were traps, so Xie Wan perked up and responded.
She pretended to be powerless and sighed: "I am a junior who has only been in the industry for a year. How can I worry about the life and death of the industry?"
"Chu Jiangnan, resentment value +199;"
He just didn't understand. His skill of digging pits was invincible, so why didn't it work when it came to this couple?
