Chapter 33 You Have Been Tricked
"Mr. Gu, my grandfather said that you also know medical skills?"
Although Zhou Yutong was unhappy in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He asked lightly, wanting to see if Gu Yu was capable of arrogance despite his young age.
"You know a little bit, what's wrong?" Gu Yu put down the teacup and replied with a smile.
"My Zhou family is a medical family. I happen to be researching a recipe recently and I'm still missing two medicinal ingredients. Can you help me take a look?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Gu Yu's mouth, and he secretly cursed: "This little girl wants to test me!"
"No problem, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask!"
Zhou Yutong snorted lightly, stood up and left the living room, went to a small pavilion in the side yard, and asked the servant to go upstairs and bring a yellowed ancient book.
After Zhou Yutong sat down in the pavilion, Gu Yu watched the other party take out a prescription from an ancient book. After taking it, he glanced at it and said with a smile: "This is a prescription for treating lung cold. It lacks these two flavors."
The medicinal materials... can be replaced by persimmon frost and yellow rice!"
Persimmon frost has the effect of promoting fluid production and soothing the throat, and yellow fenugreek can moisturize the lungs and protect qi. More importantly, these two herbs and other medicinal materials in the prescription do not respond to the eighteen negative reactions mentioned by traditional Chinese medicine, and will not cause any side effects.
Zhou Yutong nodded slightly, a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then asked: "What if the persimmon frost is replaced by woad?"
Gu Yu curled his lips and said: "Although the effects of woad and persimmon frost are roughly the same, woad will have a bitter taste after being boiled, and it is easy to thicken with the astragalus in the prescription. It is not a big deal for ordinary people to take it, but if it is taken
Elderly people...this medicine cannot cure their illnesses, but will kill them!"
"That's right, didn't you see it? You really know a lot about medical skills, but I look down on you!"
"What a joke!"
At this time, in the study room on the third floor, Zhou Yunse looked at the two people in the pavilion through the window, smiled and nodded: "It seems that they are talking pretty well..."
Peng An stood behind Zhou Yunsheng and asked cautiously: "Mr. Zhou, who is this young man?"
"A disciple of an expert is engaged to Yutong!"
Peng An was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but frown. After leaving the study, Peng An returned to his room, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number...
At noon, Zhou Yunsheng insisted on keeping Gu Yu at home for dinner, and Zhou Yutong did not object. Furthermore, he and Gu Yu talked about many medical matters at the dinner table.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Zhou Yunsheng left the table early, came to Gu Yu, patted his shoulder and said: "Gu Yu, I have something to do this afternoon and I have to go out. You and Yu Tong can get to know each other better."
Understand it!”
Gu Yu curled his lips angrily and muttered depressedly: "Old man Zhou, it's not sweet to force yourself, so why are you doing this!"
"Can't it quench your thirst without sweetness?"
Then Zhou Yunsheng stopped talking to Gu Yu and said softly to Zhou Yutong: "Yutong, Gu Yu has good medical skills. When you are dispensing medicine in the afternoon, if there is anything you don't understand, ask him more."
Zhou Yutong looked at Gu Yu, did not object, lowered his head and continued eating.
Gu Yu still wanted to say something, but Zhou Yunsheng had already left the restaurant quickly with Peng An...
After lunch, Zhou Yutong took Gu Yu to the door of a small wooden house in the backyard. The moment the door was opened, the pungent smell of herbs spread. Gu Yu looked intently and saw this more than ten square meters.
Inside the cabin, there are two wooden barrels and a row of wooden shelves on the left and right sides, which are piled with medicinal materials.
"Your family is in the medicinal materials business?" Gu Yu followed Zhou Yutong to the wooden house, looked around, pulled up a small bench and sat down.
"No, my grandfather opened a medical clinic. These medicines are ordered by customers in advance. I have to prepare them one by one before they can be sold!"
Zhou Yutong explained lightly, sat down opposite Gu Yu, and picked up a yellowed medical book on the wooden shelf next to him.
"Yutong? What are you doing at home?"
More than ten minutes later, footsteps sounded outside. Gu Yu looked up and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes carrying an exquisite wooden box in his hand and coming to the backyard of the villa with a cheerful face.
However, after seeing the man's appearance, Gu Yu sneered at the corner of his mouth and said, "What a coincidence..."
This man Gu Yu just met yesterday, he is Cao Guangrui's son, Cao Hao!
Zhou Yutong wiped the sweat from his temples, glanced at Cao Hao, and replied angrily: "What else can I do? Make medicine at home!"
Cao Hao came to the door of the cabin and met Gu Yu's eyes, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
But this guy changed his face very quickly, smiled and handed the box in front of Zhou Yutong, pretending to be a very gentleman and said: "Yutong, didn't you say you wanted to find a bamboo root last time? I'll help you.
You found it!"
After speaking, Cao Hao knelt down and carefully opened the box as if offering a treasure. What was placed inside was a half-foot-long, purple tree root.
Bamboo water chestnut root is a very precious medicinal material, its medical value is comparable to that of a century-old ginseng, and it is not easy to keep. An ordinary three-year-old bamboo water chestnut root can be sold for as high as 500,000 yuan.
Every year it grows, there will be an extra knot on the bamboo water chestnut root. The bamboo water chestnut root in the box in front of you is more than ten years old. It is worth millions at least, and it is still valuable but not available in the market.
When Zhou Yutong saw the bamboo root in the box, his face suddenly showed a look of joy. He carefully took it in his hand and looked at it several times.
"Twelve knots, this bamboo water chestnut root is twelve years old, and it is still in such good condition, it must not be cheap!"
Cao Hao smiled and waved his hand and said: "These are all small coins. As long as you can use it, Yutong, I will buy it for you no matter how much it costs!"
Cao Hao is quite smart and knows how to do what he wants!
Zhou Yutong had never treated him well before, but looking at the bamboo water chestnut root in his hand, he tenderly thanked Cao Hao.
"Bamboo water chestnut root? Is this a bamboo water chestnut root? Are you kidding me!" Gu Yu glanced at the bamboo water chestnut root briefly, curled his lips in annoyance and mocked.
Zhou Yutong's smile faltered, then turned to look at him and said, "That's right, this is Bamboo Linggen, I've seen it before!"
Cao Hao glanced at Gu Yu with disdain and sneered: "Boy, this is a very precious medicinal material, worth more than three million. If you haven't seen it before, don't talk too much!"
"Master Cao, I think you have been tricked. Although this thing is also a bamboo root, it is only worth three to five hundred yuan at most!"
Importantly, there are many medicinal materials that are very similar. If you are not very familiar with them, you will not be able to tell them apart.
For example, Angelica dahurica and Atractylodes macrocephala, as well as Bamboo lings and Bamboo lings!
Bamboo is a very common traditional Chinese medicine on the market. The root is basically the same as the root of Bamboo, but there are black spots the size of sesame on it, and the root is purple. You can't tell the difference between the two without looking carefully.
