Chapter 589 A blind cat catches a dead mouse?
I thought she would put the medicine directly on the fire after finding the medicine jar, just like she usually stewed big bones for him.
I didn't expect that she even knew to soak the herbs in cold water.
If you think about it carefully, the Qin family is still in good health. In addition to the fact that Mr. Qin has prescribed several
Chinese medicine, other people didn't seem to have any problems.
Could it be that he learned it when he was making Chinese medicine for Mr. Qin?
But he remembered that she was busy selling her meat buns at that time and was not at home all day long, so she had no time to make medicine.
So it's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse?
As her master, he never taught her these things.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhuang Yang helped to ask about Mr. He's doubts.
He simply asked Lin Chuxia, "Just soak it like this, isn't it called boiling Chinese medicine?"
If he just soaks like this, tell him how long to soak. Next time he will be able to help the chairman do these things by himself, and there will be no need to trouble Comrade Lin.
"Of course not," Lin Chuxia arranged the herbs in the medicine pot and soaked them in water as much as possible. "Chinese medicine needs to be soaked before decocting. Master just prescribed an ordinary prescription this time. Soaking in cold water for about half an hour will be enough. This way, the medicinal effects of the herbs can be maximized when decocted."
Zhuang Yang became interested after hearing this. "You said that ordinary Chinese medicine only needs to be soaked for about half an hour, so what about extraordinary ones?"
Lin Chuxia nodded, and seeing Grandpa He standing beside them looking at them motionlessly, she knew that the old man also wanted to test her knowledge.
Lin Chuxia did have some knowledge about decocting Chinese medicine, but it was not from the medical books her master had given her.
The medical books her master gave her were all good things, and such trivial matters were not worthy of being recorded.
Most of her experience in boiling Chinese medicine was accumulated from her previous life.
In her previous life, she fell into the river and became ill. In order to have a child, she also drank a lot of Chinese medicine.
Later, there was really no hope. Although she gave up on having a child, her body still needed conditioning.
Her skill in boiling Chinese medicine can be considered as a result of her long-term illness and becoming a doctor.
So, under the watchful eyes of Mr. He, he patiently explained to Zhuang Yang, "I told you just now that the Master only prescribed an ordinary prescription this time. If it is a medicine for dispelling pathogens and clearing away heat, such as those containing honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, kudzu root, and ephedra, which are lighter in texture, it only needs to be soaked for about 20 minutes. If the soaking time is too long, the efficacy of some of the antipyretic medicines will evaporate, affecting the treatment effect. There are also some medicines with a harder texture for nourishing yin and replenishing qi, such as dragon bones and oysters. The longer the soaking time, the better. One or two hours will be enough, so that the efficacy can be completely soaked out."
Zhuang Yang was in contact with Chinese medicine for the first time. Hearing this, his eyes widened in disbelief. "Dragon bones? Are there really dragons? Can oysters be used as medicine? Oh, by the way, when I was getting medicine at the hospital just now, I saw a lot of strange things in it. Can these really cure diseases?"
Lin Chuxia smiled slightly, "You asked so many questions at once, I don't know how to answer you."
"Then... let's start with the first question. Are there really dragons? The chairman said that we Chinese are all descendants of dragons. Since dragons are our ancestors, how can we boil their bones as medicine? I have lived abroad since I was a child. Although I don't have such beliefs, I also think that this is not a good idea, right?"
"Dragon bone is just a Chinese medicine name. It is a fossil of ancient large mammals, such as elephants, three-toed horses, deer, and cattle. It has the effects of calming the mind, soothing the liver and suppressing yang, and astringing and fixing the color. It is not a real dragon."
She actually wanted to say that even if he had lived abroad since he was a child, he had the same blood as them and they were of the same bloodline.
But these words may not sound very meaningful now.
However, Lin Chuxia knew that in a few decades, they would all be proud of having such blood flowing in their veins.
Zhuang Yang was shocked. "I didn't expect there were so many details here. Thanks to Miss Lin for helping me. Otherwise, I really don't know how to do it."
Lin Chuxia smiled slightly and glanced at Mr. He secretly.
The old man met her eyes, snorted proudly, then went back to the house with his hands behind his back.
However, Lin Chuxia knew that the old man was very satisfied with her answer.
After soaking the Chinese medicine for half an hour, it began to be decocted. Soon, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of medicine.
Zhuang Yang seemed to be unable to get used to the smell and could hardly sit still.
Lin Chuxia didn't force him. "I heard that this is your first time back to China. You haven't been to Yan City for a while, right? You don't need to keep an eye on me all the time. Just come and get it in about an hour."
Zhuang Yang felt as if he had been pardoned, and said quickly, "Then I'll go out for a walk, and Miss Lin will take care of the medicine."
“It should be.”
After all, knowing that she was able to boil the Chinese medicine well, the consultation fee she gave was quite high, including this item.
After Zhuang Yang left, Mr. He walked out of the room again with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Lin Chuxia staring at the medicine jar, he muttered, "You are so clumsy. You have to stare at me like this while I am boiling medicine. Don't say you are my apprentice when you go out. I am embarrassed. Move aside. I'll watch it myself, otherwise you will burn the medicine and ruin my reputation."
Lin Chuxia said with a smile, "Master, there are no outsiders in this courtyard, just the two of us, so don't be so stubborn, just tell me that you feel sorry for me and are worried that I will be tired, and I won't laugh at you."
Mr. He rolled his eyes at her and said, "I don't feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for my little grandson."
"It's the same. When you feel sorry for the child in my belly, don't you feel sorry for me? Even if you don't say it, I still know your feelings."
Mr. He couldn't convince her, so he simply ignored her.
Lin Chuxia didn't leave either, she sat next to him and chatted with Mr. He.
"What do you think of Ms. Zhuang's illness? Is there any hope that she can be cured?"
"I'm not a god. Whether her body can be cured depends entirely on whether she cooperates with the subsequent treatment. Even if the right medicine is prescribed, everyone's physical condition is different, and the effects of the medicine are also different. You have learned from those officials. You only want to cure the patient's illness as soon as possible, but you don't realize that her body has been dragged to this point. It's not caused overnight. It's not that easy to cure it."
Lin Chuxia knew that Mr. He looked down on Bai Qifeng's attitude.
In the eyes of doctors, the patient's illness must be put first.
However, Lin Chuxia could understand him. "Director Bai is not anxious just for himself. He is in this position, and it is his ability to attract investment, but in the end, it is the people of Yan City who benefit. Director Bai used to be the county magistrate of Ancheng County, and he also helped me. I asked you to treat Ms. Zhuang because of Minister Wei. I didn't expect that the other party was Director Bai. Now I also hope that Ms. Zhuang's illness can be cured as soon as possible. It's a win-win situation."
