Everyone looked at the old man eating as if no one was around, and glared at him angrily.
Changxuan and his gang even pulled the old lady several times, asking her to chase away the guy who stole their food.
After seeing Xiushui communicating with him, Wen Bibo knew that this was the man his granddaughter had a crush on.
It seems that this old man knows a lot about pharmacology. If my daughter and granddaughter learn some from him, it will definitely be beneficial to them in the future.
"You old man, it's really unkind of you to come here uninvited and steal other people's food."
The old man felt quite embarrassed when being scolded by the old lady in the family.
He chuckled and searched his body again and again.
Finally he took out a torn piece of paper.
"I'm an old man with no money, and I was looking for someone with a predestined relationship to sell this book to. Meeting you today is a matter of fate, I guess.
Hehehehe, sister, how about you use this book as my meal money?"
The old lady didn't mind and nodded as she took the book.
"Okay, then I'll keep it."
I flipped through it casually and found that it was all about some personal experiences.
And how to combine some medicines, or the characteristics of a certain medicine.
It's very messy, but it's definitely the old man's life's work.
"This looks like the sum of your life's work, you?"
The old man waved his hand and busied himself with eating the barbecue.
"It's not worth anything, but those evildoers all want to steal it. I won't give it to them, and I would rather burn it than give it to them.
I'll use its value to buy a meal of meat today, that's all."
Although the old man's words were casual, the old lady could hear the vicissitudes of life in them.
It seems that he is also a man with a story.
She stuffed the book into Xiushui's hands. Realizing that her original character was illiterate, she forced herself to make up a story.
"When Lao Liu was learning to read, I asked the people in the village who knew how to read. I thought it was useless, but I never thought I could actually understand something.
Tsk, so it’s not just the little ones who need to learn to read. From now on, everyone, old or grown, needs to learn to read.”
Everyone in the Wen family was shocked: We just want to eat meat, why does it involve learning to read?
Xiushui took the book and flipped through it. She couldn't help but admire it. The random prescriptions and medicinal properties on it were all rare things for her and her sister-in-law.
More importantly, there are several prescriptions at the back, which are obviously the result of the old man’s life’s work.
Among them are those for treating wind-cold. There are nearly ten types of treatments and diagnosis alone.
This is enough to show that the old man is very skilled in medicine.
It would be a pity to let go of such a powerful person.
She secretly made up her mind to find a way to keep the man and make him a master for her and her aunt.
My aunt also came over and looked at the book eagerly. Even barbecue was not so attractive to her.
"Xiu, you actually learned to recognize words secretly. Did you do the same as grandma, taking the words that Uncle Six practiced and asking outside for advice?
You guys are really good, you didn’t even tell me.
You know, if you learn to read in this way, I will learn along with you, and the whole family should be united.
By the way, can you tell me what's written on it?"
Okay, her aunt has already found a reason for her to learn to read, so she will just pretend she doesn’t know.
Anyway, the original body had also learned a few words before just to join in the fun, but how many did he learn exactly?
Everyone is busy, so why pay so much attention?
“Auntie, this old man’s summary of his medical skills contains a lot of his heartfelt thoughts, and also contains very comprehensive prescriptions for treating colds.
It’s no exaggeration to say that if you master the art of identifying wind-cold symptoms, you won’t have to worry about food in the future.”
In Xiushui's opinion, the reason why modern Chinese medicine is not as widely spread as Western medicine is actually because Chinese medicine requires too much and too diverse learning.
Western medicine is divided into detailed subjects, but Chinese medicine is divided into subjects from the inside to the outside, from taste to qi and even various manifestations.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if you spend your entire life studying Chinese medicine, you may only have learned the basics.
But in Western medicine, once you choose a certain branch, you just need to specialize in it.
Sometimes she wonders, if traditional Chinese medicine is also divided into detailed subjects, would it be more diverse?
For example, wind-cold, in fact, there are many types of wind-cold, external evil invasion, internal evil triggering, evil fire rising...
"Really? That's great. Many people who come to see a doctor when their cold is severe can never be saved."
I was also scared when I caught a cold during sex last time. If you hadn’t adjusted the medication, I’m afraid several people would have died.”
When the old man heard this, he looked at Xiushui in surprise.
"Girl, you can adjust the prescription? Do you understand pharmacology?"
Xiushui straightened her chest.
"Not much, but I'm pretty good at making medicine."
This answer left the old man at a loss for words.
You know how to prescribe medicine without understanding pharmacology, but you don't know how to prescribe medicine? You are just taking advantage of his age!
Xiushui was helpless as she rolled her eyes at the old man.
"You might not believe me if I say I really don't understand much, but when it comes to extracting medicinal liquids, I dare say there are probably few people in this world who can surpass me."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Old Man Xu was so angry that he laughed. He stopped chewing the barbecue in his hand and looked her up and down carefully three times.
"Girl, I see you're young, but you're so arrogant. Tsk, I was young once too."
"I'm not young and frivolous. Now, just wait, you'll know how I extract it in a moment."
The aunt understood her very well, and went to get the medicine when she said this.
Xiushui took the medicine and said thank you to her aunt Tiantian, then looked at the old man seriously.
"This is an unextracted Aconitum. Aconitum is poisonous, but it can also be used in medicine. Grandpa, you must be very familiar with this."
The old man nodded, and then he remembered that he had initially denied that he could practice medicine, so he shook his head to deny it.
However, Xiushui ignored him and took out two medicine bottles from her bag, or actually from the space.
"Look here, old man, don't blink."
Everyone in the Wen family looked at her intently, but the old man just hummed in response and continued to gnaw on his grilled ribs.
These ribs are really delicious, and the foreign medicine they are applied to them is also very fragrant.
However, when he saw the medicine in Xiushui's hand quickly shrivel up and two different kinds of liquid medicine precipitated in the bottle, the old man dropped the ribs in his hand.
Everyone in the Wen family looked at each other in shock.
Finally, the little black girl screamed.
"Sister, is this the magic from your story? It's too magical, isn't it?"
"Well, the last time I fell into a well, I woke up and found that there were always some strange things on my body.
But don’t ask me what they are. To be honest, I don’t know myself, let alone what they are.
Because I am also groping my way now.
For example, the drug extraction you just saw was done last time when Xiuai had a fever that night, and I was desperately thinking about how to make the medicine.
And then... this happened. So don't ask me why, I don't know anything?"
