After 7 hours of high-speed rail ride and 2 hours of bus ride, we finally arrived at Shunhe Ancient Town.
The car from the inn came to pick me up, and it took another half an hour to get to the inn at the other end of the ancient town.
This inn is of a relatively high grade, with the price of each room above 300 yuan.
It is different from ordinary B&Bs. Not only is the architectural style very European, but even the decoration inside is very similar to European classical style.
Jiang Wei has only one request - hygiene.
It is indeed hygienic.
All bedding is sterilized at high temperatures and dried in the sun.
Zhao Yilin and Liu Muqiao live in a single room.
Originally, Yuan Shan also arranged for a single room, but in the end, she asked to share a room with Su Yajuan.
In this way, Jiang Wei and Wang Yi will live in the same room.
Xiang Lifang stayed in a single room.
Shunhe Ancient Town is very old. Before 1800, it was a market. At its most prosperous time, it once had a permanent population of 30,000 people.
Later it slowly declined.
However, there are still more than 20,000 people living there.
This place used to be one of the most famous distribution centers for medicinal materials. When it was most prosperous, there were more than a thousand drug stores. Now, these drug stores are all closed.
Inconvenient transportation is one of the reasons. The second reason is that most traditional Chinese medicines are now cultivated artificially, so the advantages here are lost.
Su Yajuan learned that there is a group of people here who make a living by collecting herbs.
Shunhe is located in the hinterland of the Hengduan Mountains. There are natural medicinal material bases within thousands of miles. Getting some good medicinal materials should not be a problem.
That's what you're here for.
Liu Muqiao's 30,000 ancient prescriptions are basically lost prescriptions.
The lost prescriptions are actually the most effective. They are special skills left to you by your master, or secret recipes passed down from ancestors.
In the past, the master-disciple tradition was passed down from master to disciple, and the most fearful thing was that the apprentice would beat the master. Many people kept the best prescriptions and passed them on to future generations when they really couldn't survive that day.
For this reason, the more effective a prescription is, the easier it is to be lost.
Once these ancient recipes are lost, there is little hope of resurrection.
Therefore, it is understandable that some traditional Chinese medicines have not become commonly used medicines.
After washing her face and resting for a while in the inn, Su Yajuan lost her temper and came to see Liu Miqiao and went to the streets to find medicinal materials.
Liu Muqiao and Su Yajuan came out, got their bearings, and walked towards the center of the ancient town.
The streets here are all made of granite floors, which are uneven, so you have to look at the ground when walking.
The street is also very narrow, about 4 or 5 meters wide. When a car comes, you have to stop and give way.
There are very few cars.
There are shops along the street.
Very small shop.
Most of them sell tea, silverware, and souvenirs.
I haven’t seen a herbal medicine shop for a long time.
I did see a few "big pharmacies", mainly selling Western medicine.
Shunhe Ancient Town is a tourist spot. There are not too many tourists, only a few hundred people a day, so the business of the shops is only average.
Shunhe Ancient Town is not wealthy, and it can be seen from the girls' clothes that they are very ordinary.
However, there are some differences between tourists here and tourists at ordinary attractions. Tourists here are relatively classy and do not follow the crowd.
Finally, she found a herbal medicine shop in a very inconspicuous corner, and Su Yajuan got in like a breeze.
The receptionist was a young man, sixteen or seventeen years old, a little dull. When the guests came, he didn't react at all and just sat there in a daze.
Su Yajuan knows Chinese medicine and calls out the names one by one.
"This is Liuyue Xue, Yuanhu, Zhuhuang, Xueyu... Hi, Liu Miqiao, that's right, there are some medicinal materials we need here."
Su Yajuan looked at dozens of medicinal materials, most of which were not ordinary traditional Chinese medicines. It seemed that she had found the right place.
However, it is a pity that there are only a hundred or dozens of species in total.
This guy seems to be a bit demented, and until now, he has not said a word.
I really don’t know how he does business?
"How to buy?" Su Yajuan likes several kinds.
"The price is marked on it," the guy said.
"I'll buy it, not just a little bit, but a lot." Su Yajuan said.
"There are only so many."
"Can't we dig more?"
"Grandpa fell and was injured, and no one dug him out."
"Are you injured? Where is the injury?"
"The leg is broken."
When Liu Muqiao heard this, he sighed.
It's a pity that I don't know orthopedics. If I knew orthopedics, I could make a good connection here and maybe solve the problem of lack of medicine in the future.
While Liu Muqiao was thinking about it, Su Yajuan said: "Where is your grandfather? We are doctors and we will see if we can cure him."
"Cure? Haha, if it can be cured, why wait for you? We have many doctors here who treat bruises, but it's your turn? My grandfather is a doctor himself."
After hearing this, Liu Miqiao became interested.
"Brother, take us to see your grandpa. We have a group of people here, all doctors. Maybe they can cure your grandpa's disease." Liu Muqiao said.
The little brother hesitated. His job was to guard the stall.
"Take us there. I bought all the medicinal materials here." Liu Miqiao said.
The medicinal materials here, except for a small amount of commercial products, are all relatively rarely used medicines. Taking a step back, even if they are commercial products, such as honeysuckle, Trichosanthes trichosanthes, Ligusticum chuanxiong, etc., these medicines are different from those bought outside. Here is
Authentic wild and authentic medicinal materials.
There are big differences between wild medicinal materials and artificially cultivated ones. They are both Ligusticum chuanxiong and rhubarb. The wild ones take 4 or 5 years to mature, while the artificial ones only take 2 or 3 years. Moreover, the wild ones are smaller, while the artificial ones are smaller.
Big.
Medicinal materials are not good when they are big, but when they are small.
The so-called concentration is the essence, which means medicinal materials.
Su Yajuan took a fancy to all the medicinal materials here. Although Liu Miqiao was not deeply impressed by traditional Chinese medicine, intuitively, he felt that the hundreds and dozens of traditional Chinese medicines here must be high-quality medicinal materials.
The little brother heard Liu Muqiao say that he bought them all, and he grinned from ear to ear.
Although this guy is not flexible enough, he is still very excited when the business is done.
In the past, his stall could sell two to three hundred yuan a day, but now people buy them all as soon as they open their mouths. This is a business worth tens of thousands of yuan.
The little brother closed the door and took Liu Maqiao and Su Yajuan for about a kilometer to a stone house.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Miqiao smelled a coppery smell.
Well, this is a typical Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.
Good guy, you have a place to use it.
"Do you know what this smells like?" Liu Maqiao asked Su Yajuan.
Su Yajuan shook her head, "I don't know."
"Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection."
"Ah? Pseudomonas aeruginosa?"
Doctors are particularly sensitive to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections because, unlike ordinary bacteria, this bacterium is not sensitive to many antibiotics.
The treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection has great limitations when choosing drugs. Most drugs are ineffective. Moreover, once the infection occurs in the hospital, the chance of cross-infection is very high.
Doctors are afraid of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
