Chapter 13: Getting medicine with bare hands, mistakes made? 【Please vote】
A fight between two gangs
It lasted for most of the day!
It is said that the Sanjiang Gang had a slight advantage and after paying a heavy price, they barely defeated the Black Tiger Gang and occupied two streets.
There were countless casualties in this bloody battle. The number of patients treated and bandaged by Wei Han alone reached 23.
We worked until the afternoon and finally bandaged the injured person.
After hurriedly taking a few bites of food to fill their stomachs, everyone went back to their busy work.
This group of injured people only received bandages, and the subsequent use of medication is also a huge project.
Several doctors were busy writing prescriptions, and a dozen apprentices were taking care of the seriously injured patients who had not yet woken up while dispensing medicine according to the prescriptions.
Wei Han naturally wouldn't be lazy at this time.
Eager to gain more practical experience, he decisively got to work.
Isn’t it just getting medicine? What's so difficult about this?
After Wei Han's "Basic Medicinal Materials Identification Atlas" was upgraded to the maximum level, he gained a special effect of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. He not only knew all kinds of medicinal materials well, but was also very sensitive to the dosage.
I saw him pull out a sheet from the thick prescription!
At a glance you’ll know that this is a classic recipe for replenishing qi and blood - Eight Treasures and Four Substances Soup!
"White peony root 3 qian, Chinese angelica root 2 qian, Rehmannia root 5 qian, Chuanxiong root 4 qian, Ginseng 1 qian, Atractylodes macrocephala 3 qian, Poria cocos 2 qian, Licorice root 5 qian..."
Wei Han knew the dosage of these prescriptions by heart!
Other apprentices need to check and weigh the medicine again and again when they prepare it.
He just glanced at the prescription and threw it aside, then started grabbing the medicine with his bare hands without even weighing it.
"Wei Han, are you crazy?" The young apprentice beside him whispered, "Don't mess around if you have never picked up medicine before. It won't work if you pick it up randomly. How about I teach you?"
"Need not!"
Wei Han smiled indifferently and continued to raise his hand to grab the medicine.
Soon there were piles of medicine bags in front of him.
This amazing speed naturally attracted the attention of others.
When all the apprentices in the pharmacy looked at him in astonishment, an angry rebuke suddenly rose up: "You bastard, who allowed you to dispense medicine?"
The speaker was a medical apprentice in his twenties.
He looks 70% similar to Chen Zhihong and is said to be his third brother Chen Zhifei.
This guy is as arrogant and domineering as Chen Zhihong in the pharmacy. Usually, few apprentices dare to confront him. Except for a few doctors, he is the most arrogant one.
Because of Chen Zhihong, Chen Zhifei naturally disliked Wei Han.
Now that he had seized the opportunity, he naturally would not miss it, and he started to make trouble immediately.
Subconsciously, everyone believed that Wei Han was about to be in bad luck, and everyone looked at him with a hint of gloating. Only the young apprentice felt a little bit reluctant.
However, Wei Han was not panicked at all. Instead, he asked in surprise, "It is the duty of a physician's apprentice to prescribe medicine according to the prescription. Why do I need permission from others? Do I have to ask you before I can prescribe medicine?"
Wei Han's questioning and resistance immediately added fuel to the fire.
Chen Zhifei, who was already furious, was so angry that his face turned blue. He slammed his palm on the counter and cursed: "Fuck you, is this how you get medicine? You have no ability but you are so arrogant. Believe it or not, I will throw you out."
Oh, is the boy very irritable?
Wei Han narrowed his eyes and said nothing for a long time.
But a cold smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His eyes stared at Chen Zhifei silently, as if he was looking at a dead person.
"What are you arguing about?"
Pu Xingxian walked over with a frown on his face.
This farce caused quite a stir and attracted several other pharmacists for a while.
Everyone was already busy and exhausted, and when they saw someone making noise, they all showed some displeasure on their faces.
"Reporting to the shopkeeper!" Chen Zhifei's scalp tingled at Wei Han's gaze, and he quickly turned around to report: "This new apprentice grabbed a lot of medicine without asking for permission. He was even too lazy to weigh it. I guess all the medicine bags piled on the counter will have to be scrapped. I was so angry that I scolded him."
"oh?"
The other pharmacists immediately cast disgusted glances at him.
Obviously, no one likes such an impetuous apprentice.
But Pu Xingxian didn't believe it so easily. He frowned and looked at Wei Han and asked, "Is what he said true?"
"I guess so!" Wei Han said in astonishment, "But I didn't do anything wrong on purpose. I was just picking up some medicine. Do I have to use a scale?"
His innocent look angered everyone again.
"Look!" Chen Zhifei sneered and said, "Boss, you saw it, didn't you? This young boy pretends to know everything and is still stubborn. I didn't wrongly accuse him, did I?"
Pu Xingxian ignored him and opened a medicine package in surprise!
There was also a prescription stuffed in the medicine bag, which contained a classic recipe for Guizhi Renshen Decoction.
After comparing the prescription with the materials in the medicine bag, Pu Xingxian smiled.
"You guys, come here and weigh the medicinal materials in each medicine package to see if the numbers are correct." Pu Xingxian ordered Chen Zhifei and his group.
"yes!"
Several apprentices did not dare to delay and agreed to step forward.
Chen Zhifei took the prescription and sneered as he read out, "This is the Guizhi Renshen Decoction prescribed by Doctor Liu. It is mainly used to warm and nourish the middle Qi, relieve muscles and dispel evil. The prescription contains 4 qian of Guizhi, 4 qian of Zhigancao, 3 qian of Baizhu, 3 qian of Renshen, and 3 qian of Ganjiang..."
As Chen Zhifei was reciting, several apprentices skillfully weighed the herbs in the medicine bags separately and then reported the weights one by one.
"4 cents of cinnamon twig!"
"4 qian of roasted licorice root!"
"3 coins of Atractylodes macrocephala!"
"3 cents of ginseng!"
The apprentices' reports were powerful and resounding.
Immediately, there was silence inside and outside the pharmacy. Both the doctor and Chen Zhifei and others looked dumbfounded.
"This? How is this possible? Picking up the medicine with bare hands without any error? This is too exaggerated!"
"I have only seen this kind of skill in a 70- or 80-year-old pharmacist. Even I, who have been dispensing medicine for 20 to 30 years, don't dare to do this. How could he do it?"
"Are you crazy? This might just be a coincidence!"
Everyone pointed in horror.
Everyone looked at Wei Han as if they had seen a ghost.
How old is he? At most, he must be fourteen or fifteen years old!
Even if he had learned how to make medicine since he was in his mother's womb, he might not be able to master this skill. How did he do it?
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!" Chen Zhifei said unwillingly: "Weigh it! Keep weighing it for me, don't miss a single pack, I don't believe he won't make a mistake."
The apprentices naturally did not dare to neglect it!
They also saw Wei Han's ability, he could indeed grab medicine with his bare hands.
But this method is not always reliable. What if something goes wrong?
With a skeptical and finding fault mentality, everyone kept opening the medicine packages and weighing them again.
As a result, I weighed bag after bag, and each time it was accurate, without any mistakes or omissions.
However, when it came to the last pack, the number reported by Chen Zhifei was slightly different from the numbers reported by the other apprentices.
"Boss, there's a discrepancy!" Chen Zhifei shouted excitedly.
Everyone became interested upon seeing this!
Pu Xingxian took the prescription and looked at it, but couldn't help frowning.
There was a prescription of "Guben Santong Decoction" written on it, which contained 11 medicinal materials including salvia miltiorrhiza, chuanxiong, kudzu root, cinnamon twig, licorice, ginseng, ophiopogon japonicus, schisandra chinensis, atractylodes macrocephala, poria cocos, and aconite.
There is nothing wrong with anything else on this list!
The only thing that is a bit vague is the dosage of licorice.
Maybe it was because the ink had spread, or maybe it was because the handwriting was so sloppy and blurry.
The dosage of licorice is a bit like three coins in a row and a bit like five coins.
"Shopkeeper!" Chen Zhifei gloated, "The Materia Medica records that the dosage of licorice in the Guben Santong Decoction is three cents, but this kid grabbed five cents!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the pharmacy changed drastically!
