Chapter 138 The prescription is very special
If the herbs mentioned above are used to regulate body functions, then adding the warmth of sandalwood as a supplement can perfectly stimulate the characteristics of each herb and minimize side effects.
It’s just that... this method is quite old-fashioned. Because it requires too much attention from the pharmacist’s judgment and preparation, and the formula and usage have been lost, basically no one uses it now.
The middle-aged man had heard of it a little bit because his family was a family of traditional Chinese medicine.
It seems that this little girl must have someone who is good at using medicine at home.
The middle-aged man collected his thoughts and spoke in a more polite voice, "I have a friend who happens to be in the spices business, and he also sells old sandalwood. His shop is not far from me. I'll give you a business card, and you can go and have a look."
If the person in the inner room at the back had not been there, he would have wanted to take the little girl there himself. After all, it was difficult to find a pharmacist nowadays, let alone one who knew ancient prescriptions.
Soon, the middle-aged man packed up several medicines, found his business card, and handed it to Huo Yao.
"Thank you, boss."
Huo Yao was about to leave with her things. The middle-aged man saw this, thought for a moment, and called her back, "Although we don't have a hundred-year-old tortoise shell in our store, we do have sixty-year-old ones..."
Huo Yao paused, tilted his head, and said calmly: "No need. Although the efficacy of a sixty-year-old medicine may not be much worse than that of a hundred-year-old medicine, the use of medicine requires precision and accuracy. A slight mistake can lead to a huge loss."
After saying that, she pushed the door and walked out.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a long time, and didn't come back to his senses until an old man came out from the inner room and brought his thoughts back to his senses.
"Ah Heng, what are you daydreaming about? Why don't you go and lock the door outside?"
Hearing this, Ah Heng walked to the door and said, "Master, a little girl just came to buy medicine, and the prescription is very special."
The old man took out an old-looking book from the drawer of the cabinet and asked casually without any interest, "Oh, what medicine did you buy?"
Ah Heng told her the four herbs Huo Yao wanted, paused, and then said, "But I told her I didn't have the hundred-year-old tortoise shell, and she didn't want the sixty-year-old one. Then she left, and she also asked me about the old sandalwood..."
The old man looked a little surprised when he heard this, but he glanced in the direction of the inner room and interrupted, "Okay, we can talk later if you have anything to say."
After saying that, he took the things and went into the inner room.
Ah Heng nodded, locked the door, and followed him into the inner room.
In the inner room, the scent of sandalwood is stronger than outside, and it is obvious that the fragrance outside comes from here.
Min Yu leaned lazily on the mahogany chair with his hands on the table beside him. From time to time, he would stir the spices in the incense burner with chopsticks. He looked casual and relaxed, but his face was a little too pale.
"Mr. Min, given your current health condition, apart from slowly recuperating with medication, I, an old man, don't have any other solution for the time being." The person who spoke was the old man just now.
Zhuo Yun stood beside Min Yu. He asked with a gloomy look, "But the medicine doesn't seem to be working now. Can't we try other methods to control it?"
The old man shook his head with a wry smile, then flipped open the old book and handed it to Zhuo Yun. "This book was passed down by the older generation. There are some methods that can be used. But with my ability, even if I can prepare the medicine, it is still hard to say how effective it is and whether it will have any effect on Min Shao's condition..."
