Chapter 3048 Pharmaceuticals
Mr. Mo said that this thing had long disappeared in his world and only existed in ancient books. Fortunately, although the steps to make it were complicated, they were not very difficult, so he found a recipe for her.
But she never thought about making it, firstly because Mr. Mo said that this thing could easily be abused and would have a bad effect on the human body;
Secondly, some patients are not suitable for this medicine, and once they use it, they are likely to die.
So she didn't do anything until Wen Tiandong needed it. Moreover, the tuberculosis case had never been cured and was only slightly improved. If the mold from the soil was effective for tuberculosis, would the mold from the steamed buns also have some effect?
The two of them scraped off all the mold and mixed it into a large bowl of water next to them, which contained juice made from ground rice and sweet potatoes.
Wen Tiandong stirred it with chopsticks and looked at the resulting color, feeling a bit lost for words. "That's it?"
Zhou Man nodded confidently and said, "Let's wait for seven days and see. You should go back to Qingzhou City first. Come back in seven days, no, six days."
Cui Yuan outside the door asked, "So Master Wen came back early this morning just to make this medicine?"
Daji said as a matter of course: "Master Wen has a patient who needs this medicine, and I also want to learn how to make this medicine, so of course I have to come back and do it myself."
Cui Yuan was curious, "It takes six or seven days. What if something happens to the patient during this time?"
Daji looked at him puzzledly. "The patient is taking the medicine now. Lord Zhou even prescribed it himself, but the effect isn't very good. This is fate. Lord Zhou also said that even if the medicine is made, it may not be suitable for him."
Wen Tiandong placed the large bowl in a corner and covered it with a fine bamboo basket. When he heard someone talking at the door, he went out to see.
"Mr. Cui..."
Xibing brought a basin of warm water for them to wash their hands. Cui Yuan then explained the reason for his visit and said with a smile, "Master Zhou, if you have anything to do, just tell me to do it."
Zhou Man thought for a moment and said, "There is one thing indeed. It's almost October, and the number of patients coming to the medical office for treatment has increased dramatically. I'm working on the accounts, and some of the invoices need to be reconciled. Mr. Qian is not in Beihai County, so I'll have to trouble Mr. Cui."
Cui Yuan quickly agreed.
It was his first time to help out at the Medical Office. When he really started to process the documents, he found that although the affairs in the Medical Office were simple, the data was huge and it was not any easier than working in the county government office.
And the longer he stayed, the more he could feel Zhou Man's great ambition and broad mind.
Not only would she occasionally summon women and children from the city and villages to teach them some medical knowledge, she would also teach them some common medicinal herbs, so that they could memorize them and collect them for their own use or sell them to pharmacies and medical offices;
He would also meet with the managers and doctors in drug stores and clinics from time to time to discuss medical skills with them.
He watched from the side several times and thought it would be more accurate to say that she was teaching medical skills rather than discussing them.
Cui Yuan was stunned when she saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but ask her quietly, "Aren't you afraid that your medical skills will be learned by them?"
Zhou Man looked at him doubtfully, "Teacher, are you afraid that your students will learn skills and go away?"
Mr. Cui paused and said, "This is different. Lord Zhou possesses a unique skill. Not only you, but as far as I know, all skilled craftsmen are unwilling to teach their skills to outsiders, but pass them down through the family."
He was silent for a moment before saying, "In fact, even the master is reserved when teaching. Some books and knowledge are only available to aristocratic families, and aristocratic families are wary of each other learning from them."
For example, books on military affairs and books on governing a country are difficult to find outside.
Zhou Man had to agree with him, and then said: "I haven't taught them all my skills yet."
She blinked and said, "I have reservations too."
However, Cui Yuan always felt weird about this kind of unpaid "discussion" of medical skills with competitors.
The shopkeepers and doctors of Renhetang and Baicaotang also felt it was strange at first, but after coming twice, they no longer found it strange. They just felt that Zhou Man was a good official and a good person who was dedicated to supporting the younger generation, had a broad mind, and served the country and the people.
Then, not only the doctors from Beihai County, but also doctors from Qingzhou City rushed over after hearing the news. There were also doctors from other counties and even traveling doctors. After hearing the news, they also took the trouble to come over, just to go to the medical office to "discuss" medical skills with Zhou Man.
The most direct benefit of doing this is that it will not only be easier for the medical department to buy medicine than before, but the price will also be lower.
When they organize some large free medical consultation activities, other pharmacies will also participate. Even if they do not participate in the name of a pharmacy, they will ask the doctors and pharmacists to come and help.
After Wen Tiandong went to Qingzhou City, Zhou Man provided two free medical consultations, one for the people in the city and one for the people in the countryside. She received their help, otherwise she would not have been able to handle it all by herself.
Zhou Man's conclusion on this is, "I gave them a peach, and they gave me a jade in return."
Cui Yuan quickly said, "What the Master gave me is Qiong Yao."
Zhou Man waved his hand. "No, no, no. When I'm no longer in Beihai County, a new director will take over the medical department. By then, the medical department will need the help of the county's pharmacies and doctors. Even the director may change frequently, but the pharmacy owners and doctors won't. In the future, the tradition of free clinics will require both parties to explore and develop together. That's Qiong Yao."
"Compared to that, what are the medical skills I teach you?"
Cui Yuan was stunned for a moment before asking, "Will you teach them the same pharmaceutical preparation method you taught Master Wen last time?"
"No," Zhou Man said seriously, "The prescription can only be stored in the Tai Medical Bureau, and the Medical Bureau will make and sell it."
That medicine doesn't work well.
Only then did Cui Yuan believe what Zhou Man said. She also had some reservations and did not teach them all her skills.
It is really interesting to see Zhou Man answering every question these days. When people ask a question, she not only answers it, but also asks more questions and then finds a treatment method to teach them.
For some reason, Cui Yuan actually felt relieved. The boss was too generous. He was also a little scared and had a headache.
It’s okay to be selfish, it’s best to be selfish.
Wen Tiandong returned from Qingzhou City. He came back to continue making medicine. The big bowl of solution they made last time had some changes.
Zhou Man and Wen Tiandong went to the back room, took out the things that had been prepared long ago, and instructed Wen Tiandong to tie a thin piece of oil paper on the can, then poke a small hole and insert a funnel into it.
Zhou Man asked Xibing for help, "Put these layers of gauze on the funnel, gently pour the liquid medicine in the bowl into it, and filter..."
The two did as they were told. When they finished this batch, Zhou Man picked up a larger jar from under the table and placed it on the table. "Here, see how much liquid you filtered out. Add three times as much soybean oil to this jar."
See you tomorrow
