Chapter 216: Prescriptions: The Third Person Related (Part 2)…
"Senior, can these medicinal materials be made into pills?" Xiao Qin flipped through a lot of ancient books and materials, but none of them were as easy to understand as asking the Chinese medicine practitioners around him.
His research on traditional Chinese medicine was already a cross-disciplinary endeavor, but each field is like a mountain between two worlds. Even with the precious notes of his ancestors, there were still many obstacles in the scientific research process.
"Let me see." Ye Xuan took a few bags of Chinese medicinal materials and examined them carefully with his Chinese medicine skills. "Xiao Qin, you have chosen a good variety."
Well, putting all these together seems to be an ancient recipe for making medicine. Although he couldn't remember it by heart, he was able to find it.
After Xiao Qin said this, his eyes lit up: "If we can make pills like those at that time, it might be a good attempt!"
It is said that those ancient prescriptions are inaccessible to those who are not descendants of traditional Chinese medicine, and even the top scientific research institutions do not have access to them.
Also smiled.
He was very happy for the other party's current state.
After the zombie crisis was successfully resolved, there was always light in the child's eyes.
This is the spirited look that the genius Qin would have when he was stuck in the quagmire of public opinion. It’s great to see it now.
In some aspects, the traditional Chinese medicine pills and today's Chinese patent medicines are actually not much different. It is normal that people in this city have not paid attention to Chinese medicine for many years and have not studied the ins and outs of it.
Xiao Qin has this idea, and his starting point is very good, but some people just can't stand seeing others doing well.
While sorting out the prescriptions, Ye Xuan took the time to check the local news on his mobile phone. There were a lot of reports about this child, and even Chinese medicine practitioners were captured in scientific research institutions.
It's obvious that this was leaked by an "insider", and it's possible that the insider was someone who had contact with him at work.
But it is really hard to lock down this scope. Xiao Qin is very influential now and can call on anyone he wants. There is a large turnover of personnel every day and even the Chinese medicine doctors can't remember who has participated in this project.
There are many more people here than in the research institute where Xiao Qin worked before, and it is almost impossible to check them one by one.
Besides, Xiao Qin has only been here for a short time, and I can’t cause trouble for other children because of my suspicion.
The issue of traditional Chinese medicine entering top scientific research institutions has already been fermented a lot by some media, and now the outside comments are mostly negative.
Many people said that "even a hero cannot enter a research institution without qualifications", and many people believed that Xiao Qin's behavior was tantamount to opening a back door for traditional Chinese medicine.
Ye Xuan felt that their ideas were too one-sided. This Chinese medicine doctor was a folk master who lived in seclusion in the city. It was good enough to be invited here. Why was he putting on airs?
Moreover, those netizens are just bystanders who have nothing to do with the matter. They say so, but when the results come out, they will not buy it.
Ye Xuan attaches importance to public opinion, but it is not necessary to care about everyone's words.
Anyone can say something about following the trend, but that kind of blind following of the trend will be nothing once the wind direction changes.
Those who initially made up the story may be forced to apologize publicly, and it will be meaningless to hold those who followed suit accountable.
He believed that Xiao Qin would do a good job, and he also believed that Chinese medicine could help.
As for those "passers-by", leave them to professionals.
Only facts will tell everyone who is right and who is wrong. It is meaningless to argue at this point.
Xiao Qin just wants to stay in the laboratory, so he has to ensure that he can do scientific research safely.
Traditional Chinese medicine would definitely make this choice.
After using various connections, I actually managed to get a handwritten copy of ancient medical prescriptions.
After reading it, Xiao Qin was amazed: "Senior, this is exactly the medicine I want to make!"
A strange disease is now spreading in our city. There is no western medicine that can specifically treat this disease, and prescription drugs cannot be taken indiscriminately. For a time, countless patients were not treated in time or were left without effective treatment, and their lives are in danger.
But last time there was a cure for even turning into a zombie, so maybe the situation can turn for the better now.
After all, the disease itself is not fatal, but long-term illness will make the body weak and the resistance will be reduced, so other diseases will also come.
Ye Xuan knew that there were medicinal soups that were pre-cooked and packaged, which could be refrigerated and then heated up for consumption. However, there were almost no people in this city who drank Chinese medicine in the years before the zombie crisis, let alone this service.
In fact, if you heat the medicine bag directly in hot water, you won’t smell much odor in the process, which in itself solves the "defects" of boiling medicine at home.
But people here don’t know about this practice, and Xiao Qin also wants to develop Chinese patent medicine.
Well, it can be made into a powder, which will probably taste better than pure medicinal soup.
The taste of freshly boiled medicinal soup is very different from that of industrially processed instant powder. After all, it can be seasoned moderately, and it is common to add a little sugar.
Even if licorice is added to the Chinese medicine soup, it only adds a bit of sweetness to the strange taste.
In Ye Xuan's impression, there were some of his elementary school classmates who liked to drink Chinese patent medicine as beverages.
It is said that we are not allowed to drink packaged drinks at home, and those bought from beverage stores are even more prohibited, so we can only drink some Isatis root or something like that under the pretext of "preventing colds".
In fact, this is not a big problem. It’s just that medicine is still medicine, and all medicine is poisonous. This cannot be considered a “healthy drink”.
Even if you drink tea, drinking too much is not good for you. People with different body constitutions and in different regions will have different reactions after drinking it.
He didn't intend to make the Chinese patent medicine into a "drink", he just wanted to help Xiao Qin develop a medicine that was both palatable and effective.
The main difficulty facing traditional Chinese medicine now is that it is difficult for patients to accept taking it, but its efficacy and ingredients are actually its advantages.
In this era, most people are looking for something "purely natural", and Chinese herbal medicine fits the bill quite well.
Although artificially cultivated medicinal herbs have increased in recent years, people still believe that Chinese medicine is more "pure" compared to Western medicine.
However, Western medicine has put a lot of effort into refining and extraction.
There is a huge difference in appearance between a medicine whose ingredient list you can't understand and a medicine whose real ingredients you can see.
People who like to drink herbal tea or cook may not be able to read the ingredients of Western medicine fluently, but they can recognize several herbs in traditional Chinese medicine.
This is not a gap between local and foreign, but a gap in people's familiarity with drugs.
Many Chinese medicinal materials that can be used as medicine can be found everywhere in life.
It’s just that some people put them in medicine jars, and some people put them in casseroles.
For example, star anise is not only a common seasoning spice, but also a traditional Chinese medicinal material with multiple therapeutic effects.
"Senior, this medicinal ingredient is something I have never seen before." Xiao Qin studied the ancient recipe carefully. Although the names of some medicinal ingredients are different from those today, they still correspond.
But for one of the ingredients, I couldn't find any clues even after searching through all the information.
"What medicine?" The Chinese doctor came over, "Let me take a look--"
He immediately saw the origin of the herb: "This is a herb that is unique to this city. It is definitely not found in prescriptions elsewhere. It is understandable that there is no record of it in ancient books."
The information Xiao Qin has comes from various places, and most of the records are legendary famous medicines and common medicinal materials found everywhere. It is understandable that the "local characteristics" are missing.
After all, there are so many herbs in the world, and not every one of them has detailed records.
Moreover, this medicinal ingredient is so unpopular that it doesn't even have a Mandarin name. Its name can only be pronounced in the local dialect. If you are not a local, you may not be able to buy the corresponding medicine even if you go to the Chinese medicinal material wholesale market.
Fortunately, Chinese medicine practitioners are locals who can speak the local dialect, and their knowledge of Chinese medicinal materials is much higher than that of ordinary practitioners.
If any of the conditions were missing, Xiao Qin’s question would not be solved so quickly.
After hearing the explanation, the young genius admired Chinese medicine even more: "Luckily, I have seniors here, otherwise I would be stuck at this step."
In his heart, the person in front of him is the most admirable person and a guiding light for him to explore more medicine.
If it weren't for the other party, he would not have thought that there were areas for improvement in the city's traditional Chinese medicines, and these medicines cannot be replaced by Western medicine.
After Qin learned about traditional Chinese medicine from a Chinese doctor, he realized that the new drugs he had seen in the research institute had actually achieved certain therapeutic effects that traditional Chinese medicine had already achieved.
But at that time, few people were willing to use Chinese medicine. Not to mention taking medicine, even for medical consultation, they would not choose to go to a Chinese medicine clinic.
Over time, people have forgotten the option of traditional Chinese medicine and only pursue new Western medicine.
Now, he wants to combine the advantages of Western medicine and Chinese medicine to develop a good enough Chinese patent medicine.
The costs involved cannot be small, but what is more critical than those is the understanding of the drug itself.
If you don’t have the correct understanding and judgment ability, then even if you try and fail thousands of times, you will never reach the right destination.
He believes that his predecessors can support him in this regard, which is why he insists on choosing to carry out this project.
If you want to do it well, you must first try your best to ensure that you can do it.
After that major mistake, he would not allow himself to make it again.
Ye Xuan hopes that Xiao Qin can relax a little in his research. Putting too much pressure on himself will lead to poor performance.
But the child would rather stay tense now, because after reaching this important position today, even a little slackness may lead to disaster.
Even though it was the assistant's fault that time, it could have been avoided by checking it one more time.
This was not an accusation Qin put on himself, but one imposed on him by everyone.
There are too many expectations on geniuses, and there are also too many people who want them to fall.
But to achieve perfection in everything is not something that humans possess.
"Xiao Qin, you can tell me if you encounter any difficulties during the drug research and development process. But I also have problems that I cannot solve, and this is something that everyone has." The Chinese medicine doctor said to the young man with a smile.
It is not easy to face up to your own knowledge blind spots.
In the other party's mind, the senior is the most powerful person and the absolute authority in traditional Chinese medicine.
However, no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.
Ye Xuan looked at a note in the prescription that he himself could not understand, and thought that since it was a "note", it should be written in a more understandable way.
Now, the only thing I don’t understand is this.
