"For nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, yellow urine, and alternating chills and fever, Xiao Chai Hu Tang can be used. This is a basic and routine treatment."
“We can also make additions and subtractions to Xiao Chai Hu Tang based on the patient’s specific condition. For example, if the patient has damp heat in the body, we can add Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos. These two herbs work together to remove dampness, and Poria cocos helps to expel dampness from the body.”
"besides……"
After explaining the prescription, Li Xiyue felt parched. She picked up the spring water, took a sip, and asked, "Is this the use of Xiao Chai Hu Tang? Have you memorized it?"
Xu Baiwei was taking notes with a serious expression. "Master, I've written it down."
Li Xiyue nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and went to turn over the herbs drying outside the courtyard.
"Sister, we're here!" Lai Di and several children ran into the yard carrying small buckets.
Li Xiyue saw that some of them were catching leeches, some were digging up earthworms, and there were also some insects, such as crickets, centipedes, dung beetles, and even a large, lively centipede.
"Where did you find such a big centipede?" Li Xiyue asked curiously.
Its skin is reddish-brown, and its foot is as big as her index finger and about 20 centimeters long. Such a large centipede is not common.
Lai Di excitedly said, "Last night we were cooking dinner in the kitchen when it crawled into the kitchen by itself. My second sister was so scared that she cried, and my eldest sister wanted to stomp it to death. I remember my sister said that centipedes are also medicinal materials, so I quickly got a net and covered it up."
She was quite proud of herself after she finished speaking, feeling that she was more capable than her older sisters and knew more.
This time she could really be proud, because Li Xiyue's new pills were missing this ingredient.
This centipede is bigger than the last one, and it's still alive and in good condition. It would be worth a lot of money if sold.
It's no exaggeration to say that this centipede is worth more than ten buckets of leeches.
After all, things are valued for their rarity; leeches are everywhere, but centipedes are quite rare.
Such a large one is even rarer.
In exchange, they gave the other children candy and cookies, and then called Laidi into the house alone.
“Laidi, this centipede of yours is very valuable; it can buy two pounds of candy,” Li Xiyue said in a low voice.
Lai Di's eyes lit up. "So many?"
"Yes, it's worth about three yuan," Li Xiyue told her truthfully.
Three pieces!?
Lai Di was so excited that it took her a while to speak, "Sister, can I just ask for the money?"
She digs up herbs and catches insects every day, and she's already run out of sugar. Besides, how long would it take to finish two pounds of sugar? It's so hot, it'll all melt by now.
If you convert it to cash, you can save it and spend it slowly.
"Nothing else will do, but this centipede will. I'll give you three yuan." Li Xiyue took out some money from her pocket and stuffed it into her hand. "Keep it safe and don't tell anyone."
Lai Di was so excited that her little hands trembled. Three yuan!
This is something you have to sell three hundred baskets to earn.
If she could catch centipedes every day from now on, wouldn't she be rich?
Children are innocent, and their thoughts are written all over their faces. Li Xiyue shook her head and smiled, "Centipedes aren't available every day, and you're not allowed to take risks. If you find one, bring it to me, and I'll give you money. If you don't, then obediently catch leeches and dig for herbs, understand?"
Lai Di obediently replied, "I understand, sister."
"Let's go back." Li Xiyue patted her head, and seeing that it was getting late, called out to the pharmacy, "Weiwei, you should go back and eat too."
"Okay, Master."
"Weiwei, let's go together."
The two good friends walked away hand in hand, chatting and laughing.
