Chapter 25: Half the Illness is Healed
"Dendrobium officinale is not easy to pick, especially this complete one. Not bad, not bad. I'll give you one pound for 260 coins. Don't pick the Coptis chinensis yet. Wait until autumn. The Coptis chinensis at this time is still tender and not as effective. When you go to pick it in autumn, you can simply prepare it at home before bringing it. Remove the dead leaves and weeds, and wash it with clean water. Wash it quickly, as the Coptis chinensis will lose its medicinal properties if it is soaked in water for too long. After washing, drain the moisture, then cut it into small pieces and dry it in the shade or on a low fire. Don't put it directly in the sun, and don't use a high fire..."
Doctor Su explained carefully, "A pound of dried Coptis chinensis sells for 200 wen. A pound of fresh Coptis chinensis I can give you at most 20 wen. I'll give you 15 wen for the Coptis chinensis you brought. Please keep them all."
As for the preparation of Dendrobium officinale, Doctor Su did not say that the preparation method of Dendrobium officinale is too complicated and it is not something that farmers can do at home. Instead of letting them waste the medicinal materials and energy, it is better to send it to them like this.
Qin Fangci and Li Baisong nodded repeatedly to show that they accepted the advice.
"Okay, let's put the matter of the medicinal herbs aside for now. Let me check your injuries first." Doctor Su waved at Li Baisong. Li Baisong walked over obediently and put his hand on the pulse.
Doctor Su placed his fingers on Li Baisong's pulse and gently closed his eyes.
The clinic was very quiet, so quiet that only the breathing sounds of three people could be heard.
After a moment, Doctor Su took Li Baisong's other hand.
"Blood is the spirit. When the spirit gathers, the soul is solid; when the spirit disperses, the soul sinks." Doctor Su opened his eyes and looked at Li Baisong.
For a moment, Li Baisong felt that Dr. Su seemed to see his soul through his body.
"Doctor, the doctor in town gave me a set of acupuncture and prescribed a medicine. Could you please tell me if there is anything I can do to fill the gap?"
"Oh, you brought the recipe? Let me see."
Li Bosong shook his head, "I didn't bring the prescription, I memorized it."
Doctor Su was slightly surprised, "You can read."
"Yes, the kid goes to school in Hedong Town."
Doctor Su looked at Li Baisong lovingly and said, "Then recite it to me."
"One coin of Su Mu, and Sanguisorba officinalis..."
After listening to this, Doctor Su carefully removed the gauze on Li Baisong's head and examined his wound carefully.
"The prescription is very good and very suitable for your current condition. At the moment, adding two more herbs would be even better."
"Doctor, there is only one dose of medicine left at home. If you prescribe two more doses, I wonder if the herbs we brought are enough?" Qin Fangci asked.
"That's enough."
Doctor Su called the young medicine boy over and tapped him on the head, not too hard or too lightly. "Tell your shopkeeper to come and look at these dendrobiums. They are 260 coins per jin. Let him see how much these two dendrobiums are worth."
The little medicine boy didn't dare to say anything after being knocked, because he had made the mistake first. He put on a smile and hurried to call the shopkeeper.
"The two Dendrobium plants weigh two catties and six ounces, which is six hundred and seventy-six coins. The Coptis chinensis is fifteen coins, which is six hundred and ninety-one coins." said the shopkeeper.
Doctor Su also gave Li Baisong a set of acupuncture and prescribed three prescriptions for him.
"These two prescriptions are mainly for promoting blood circulation and calming the nerves. They contain some expensive ingredients, but they are essential. One prescription costs eighty wen, and three prescriptions will cost two hundred and forty wen. After deducting the cost of the medicine, you will have four hundred and fifty-one wen left."
The shopkeeper handed the medicine and money to Qin Fangci with a smile.
"Next time, if you can find dendrobium of this quality, please send it to us. We are honest and fair, and we are definitely the most affordable pharmacy."
Qin Fangci smiled and said, "Of course. I have to thank Doctor Su today. Doctor Su is a kind-hearted doctor. I went to see Doctor Su and I was half cured before I even took the medicine."
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "That's not the case. Their doctor Su is famous for being gentle and kind and good at comforting patients."
