Chapter 405 Qingpingguan relies on her alone to survive
Qingpingguan holds several major events every year. One is to hold a grand ceremony on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the Ghost Festival, and the other is to make alms in winter.
Since this donation is more noisy and there are many things going on, and there are few Taoist priests in the temple, some believers are needed to volunteer to help. After all, in addition to giving out porridge and gift bags, the donation process also involves cooking some cold-repelling ginger soup and making some health-building products.
The elixirs from the body are given to the poor people, and the affairs are busy. Only a handful of Taoist priests in a few Taoist temples may not be able to control the chaos.
The elixirs were prepared by Qin Liuxi, and even the cold-repelling ginger soup was written by her, and the required medicinal materials were sent to Qingpingguan by the Changsheng Palace long ago.
It was the end of October, this year's winter was even colder, and it was still dark. Qin Liuxi and his two disciples went up to Qingping Temple early, talked to Taoist Chi Yuan, and met with the Taoist priests.
After morning class, Qin Liuxi went into the medicine room in the Taoist temple and started to prepare the body-building elixir.
The charity meeting is held on three days. On the first day, porridge and steamed buns will be given, and ginger soup to ward off the cold will be given every day. At that time, it will be placed in the small square in front of the main hall and the charity house at the foot of the mountain for people to drink.
On the second day, there will be a free clinic to distribute medicine. On this day's free clinic, the doctors from Changsheng Palace will also come to help.
On the third day, we distributed cold clothes, which required us to go out to the refugee camps and give them to the refugees who really needed warm clothes and bedding.
These are all on the surface, and there is some good left over, and money or gifts will be given to the charity, because the charity houses are all orphans and children.
In the past, Qin Liuxi concocted the elixirs, almost by himself with tangerine peel and Qihuang. There were only a few people in the temple, but there were many places where manpower was needed. The elixirs could not be transported and could not be handed over to others.
This year, there was an additional Wuwei in Qingpingguan, and later two more Buddhist monks came to place orders, but there was still a shortage of people. After all, the incense in Qingpingguan had become much more prosperous, and there were many letters from pilgrims, so it was naturally very busy.
Qin Liuxi didn't care. She had been concocting elixirs to strengthen the body for many years. She already knew the required medicinal materials and steps by heart. She just ordered a Qingming to help with the physical work and started busy.
As for the two younger ones, they just followed them around and learned to identify the medicinal materials while watching.
"...Some medicinal materials do not have to be fresh to make medicine, but they need to be processed to maximize the efficacy. In a prescription, if you want the medicine to have the best efficacy, some medicinal materials must also be processed.
It depends on the patient's body. For example, barley kernels are different whether they are fried or not. Barley kernels are cold in nature and can drain moisture downwards through the stool. If the disease is caused by dampness, the effect of raw barley kernels will be better, and after
Stir-fried barley will be milder in nature. If you want to dehumidify and strengthen the spleen, you need to stir-fry it. However, regardless of whether it is fried or not, pay attention to the fact that pregnant women should not use barley in their anti-fetal medicines, because it is cold in nature and may lead to miscarriage.
."
While handling the medicinal materials, Qin Liuxi taught his two apprentices: "Some medicinal materials cannot be heated by fire, such as cocklebur seeds, acacia seeds and castor beans. Once these are heated and processed, they will change their properties and turn into poisons. Learn
There are thousands of things that need to be remembered as a doctor, and the handling of medicinal materials requires a lot of attention. If you don't pay attention, it will turn from saving people to harming people, so you must remember to be cautious and careful."
Teng Zhao and Wangchuan nodded solemnly.
Qingming looked at the two little ones with some sympathy. It was really hard to learn to memorize such complicated and lengthy things at such a young age.
But hard work is hard work, but they can't complain about it, because if they fail to save people, they will harm them instead. Such cause and effect will be karma on their backs.
Therefore, Qingming could only say something encouraging: "I heard that Young Master also entered Taoism at the age of five and began to practice the five arts of Xuanmen. He has never complained about suffering. You must follow the example of Master."
Wangchuan's eyes are bright, isn't he the same age as himself?
But when she thought about how powerful her master was, and how she was still struggling to read and couldn't recite the Tangtou song, she felt a little depressed. She was too stupid.
Qin Liuxi said: "Learning skills is divided into three parts talent and seven parts hard work. Diligence can compensate for weakness. I will teach you what I know. How much you learn and whether you are better than others depends on you."
Teng Zhao lowered his eyes, silently sorting the medicinal materials and placing them neatly in the basket.
Although he was teaching his apprentice, Qin Liuxi was not slow in refining the medicine. He followed the steps and added the medicinal materials into the medicine cauldron one by one. As time passed, the fragrance of the medicine spread out, making people feel refreshed.
Vibrate.
Qin Liuxi was refining medicine, and the large kitchen in Qingpingguan was also very busy. The cooks and believers were busy making porridge and steaming thick noodles and steamed buns. Why thick noodles instead of thin noodles? Because thick noodles are cheaper and fuller.
, the money saved can be used to make more steamed buns.
Qingyuan uses Wuwei to cook cold-repelling ginger soup. In addition to ginger slices, the strong and spicy ginger soup also adds Atractylodes, Magnolia officinalis and Pinellia and other medicinal materials.
Effect.
Wuwei poured a bowl of ginger soup first. His stomach was warm and his whole body was warm. He couldn't help but said: "The ginger soup I drank in the past was just boiled with ginger. Now that I have money in my hand, I can just add some brown sugar."
It’s considered a luxury, but it’s really a far cry from this one.”
Qingyuan sighed: "This is because the incense of Qingping Temple is strong, so many medicinal materials can be added. I heard the temple owner said that in the year when the temple was reopened, there was a lot of waste waiting to be done. Let alone doing this three-day alms, it is the most common
I sent some ginger soup, but it was really just water made from boiled ginger, and it was light."
Wuwei has been working as a Taoist priest in Qingpingguan for the past few months. Although he is also a Qingpingguan practitioner, he is not as wandering around as he used to be. He has something to rely on, his mind is stable, and he has grown mellower. His understanding of Qingpingguan has started from the beginning.
I have tried to place orders and now sincerely stay and become a disciple of Guanzhong. Naturally, I also understand the origin and development of Qingping Guan in recent years.
Although Qin Liuxi's skills were taught by Chi Yuan Lao Taoism, according to his insinuations, Chi Yuan Lao Taoism was completely free-range and allowed her to learn at will, while Qin Liuxi was a natural Taoist genius who learned it at a young age.
He has good skills and then helps the world and does good deeds. Although he is lazy, he is still encouraged to work hard to make money to revitalize the Taoist temple.
She is really lazy, but she is really miserable, but to be honest, Qingpingguan really relies on her alone to support her, and she is now in this situation.
"Although our Taoist temple can use real materials to make ginger soup now, in fact, this has not yet reached the peak of Qingping Temple. I heard that Qingping Temple was called Qingping Sect thousands of years ago, and the sect was divided into inner and outer sects.
There are more than a thousand disciples in the sect, but it has been declining from generation to generation. Now, it can only be called Qingpingguan. Thirty years ago, it was closed down."
Qingyuan patted Wuwei and said sincerely: "So, Junior Brother Wuwei, even if we can't bring Qingping Temple back to its heyday a thousand years ago, we still have to be one of the best. To this end, we have a long way to go, develop believers, strengthen the Taoist temple, and burn the thickest
Not to mention the fragrance, I must always encourage the young contemplative master to make progress and promote my contemplation reputation!"
Qin Liuxi rubbed his ears, what should he do if he felt a villain was approaching?
