Chapter 616: Preparing Medicine (Thanks to the tip from book friend "Al Pacino")
There are many pharmacies in Yizhou City, including four time-honored brands. After thinking about it, Manbao finally decided to go to Jishidiang.
At least I have an acquaintance in Jishidiang, right?
Although Manager Zheng is an acquaintance from Luojiang County, not Yizhou City, Manbao still subconsciously has a better impression of Jishidiang.
Manbao went to Jishidiang accompanied by Zhou Lijun.
The waiter took a look at the prescription and asked, "Isn't this prescription written by our doctor?"
"No, why, can't we catch it?"
The waiter smiled at her and said, "Not really. We just need our boss to take a look. Please wait a moment."
The clerk went to ask the shopkeeper to come out. He looked at the three prescriptions given by Manbao, pondered for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Young lady, I wonder who is taking this medicine?"
"My eldest sister ate it."
The shopkeeper nodded slightly. "We should let the patient come here for a checkup. These medicines all regulate qi and blood, but they each focus on different things. I wonder which prescription the doctor originally wrote?"
Manbao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Before coming here, she had taken the pulse of her family members and was very familiar with her sister's pulse. She simply recited the pulse record and stared at the shopkeeper with a pair of sparkling eyes. "What do you think is the most suitable prescription for her pulse?"
The shopkeeper looked at Manbao in surprise, and after a pause he pulled out a prescription and said, "It seems this one is better."
He said, "Although this is the first time I've seen such a prescription, after careful deduction, I found that it is a perfect match between the main and the secondary, and the medicinal properties are harmonious. The medicinal effects are mild, replenishing qi and blood, regulating the liver and kidneys, and not causing excessive heat."
Manbao was delighted to see that he had drawn a secret recipe from the palace. "Then prepare it for me according to this recipe. By the way, how about making this into pills?"
"That's not easy to do," the shopkeeper reasoned for a moment, then shook his head. "We'll have to think it over carefully if we want to make it into pills."
He took the prescription in his hand and dispensed the medicine for her himself. "How many doses do you want, young lady?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with ten doses. Do we need to separate the medicines in between?"
"Stop one day every three days, take one dose of medicine each day."
Manbao agreed.
The shopkeeper gave her the medicine, folded the prescription, and returned it to her, asking with a smile, "Who wrote this prescription for you, young lady?"
Manbao shook his head and said, "I copied it from a book."
"Copied it?" The shopkeeper looked at her suspiciously. "Is your family also a medical student?"
"I'm studying medicine."
The shopkeeper was surprised. After a moment's thought, he bowed and asked with a smile, "Then I wonder who your teacher is, young lady?"
Manbao paused and said, "I can't tell you."
Shopkeeper: “…”
As a doctor, you are not doing anything improper, so why can't you tell me?
Shouldn't everyone think about becoming famous so that they can receive more and better patients?
Manbao paid the money, Zhou Lijun took the medicine, and they said goodbye to the shopkeeper together.
The shopkeeper came back to his senses and said quickly, "Young lady, if your husband is not practicing medicine elsewhere, you can come to our pharmacy."
He glanced at Manbao, and then thought that the prescription she took out was for regulating a woman's Qi and blood, and he thought he understood, "Even if it's a woman, our pharmacy will still treat her with respect."
Manbao's eyes lit up, and he turned around and asked, "Is it true?"
The shopkeeper nodded. Although there were fewer women who came to see the doctor, there were still some. Since she was a female doctor, she could treat women. What was wrong with that?
Judging from this prescription, the person who wrote it is very experienced and his medical skills should be pretty good.
What he wanted more than a prescription was a person.
Manbao asked, "Are there any conditions? Do I need to take an exam or something?"
"Ah?" The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "How dare I neglect the respected master? As long as the respected master is willing to come, it's fine."
"So what do you think of me?" Manbao puffed out his chest.
Shopkeeper: ...I want your husband, not you.
Zhou Lijun immediately said, "Shopkeeper, my aunt is amazing. She started prescribing medicine a few years ago and has been treating many patients over the years."
Although no one used her prescription.
Manbao nodded repeatedly. Seeing the shopkeeper's embarrassed expression, he immediately said, "I don't want any money. It's free!"
Shopkeeper: ...What should I do if I don’t dare to ask for it?
Manbao looked at him eagerly, "How about you test me? If I can't pass, then don't take me."
"Your husband..."
Manbao sighed, "Although my husband doesn't sit in the clinic, he has other things to do and has no time to come out to see patients, so I want to learn more pulse diagnosis but I can't find any patients..."
When she said that, the shopkeeper understood that she wanted to come to him to see patients and learn pulse diagnosis.
He frowned. This was a right usually only enjoyed by apprentices in shops or apprentices of doctors.
You have to know that patients are also very valuable and cannot be seen by anyone. As a doctor, there are not many opportunities to personally feel the pulse in the early stages.
Some people may have to work as an apprentice for ten or even more than ten years before they can become a medical practitioner.
During this period, there were many opportunities to identify medicinal herbs and memorize medical books, but it was not difficult to see patients in person and accumulate pulse records...
Time is limited and the patient is in a bad mood. Who would dare to let an apprentice take his pulse?
So the shopkeeper fell silent.
The old doctor who had been treating patients and prescribing medicine suddenly stepped forward and said, "Let her come in tomorrow and try. If her pulse is good, she can follow me to treat leukorrhea."
The old doctor winked at the shopkeeper and said, "She can learn pulse diagnosis and other things here, but after getting the pulse diagnosis, she has to take it back and prescribe medicine for her husband, right?"
The recipe is important.
As for her husband's level of skill, all we need to know is the prescription he has prescribed.
This is actually a process of mutual learning. They want to invite people to the pharmacy, one is to strengthen the strength of Jishidiang, and the other is to learn each other's medical skills, right?
The shopkeeper understood what he meant and smiled at Manbao, saying, "Okay, then, young lady, come to the pharmacy tomorrow and try it. I haven't asked for your name yet."
Manbao said openly, "My name is Zhou Man, and this is my niece Zhou Lijun. I need to inform the shopkeeper of something. I have to study every day, so I can't come to the pharmacy for a long time. How about I come in for two hours every day from now on?"
She said, "I don't want money."
The shopkeeper secretly complained, "It's already very good that we let you learn pulse diagnosis here without charging any money. Do you still want money?"
Seeing that Manbao was young, he didn't expect her to be very capable, so he nodded in agreement.
However, because she mentioned that she still had to study every day, I valued her even more.
Which girl from an ordinary family is still studying at this age?
His daughter learned to read and after reading two books, she stopped reading and started learning needlework and other things.
But……
Which little girl would come to get medicine in person?
But when he thought about the medicine she wanted to get, he understood a little more, "Young lady, why don't you go back and discuss your visit to the pharmacy with your family first?"
Manbao said confidently: "I can make the decision on my own affairs. I just need to go back and tell my husband."
good evening
