The seventy-ninth chapter borrow a space to farm (12)
The main hall in the middle is larger. The door is almost as wide as the main hall. It is wide open and you can see the furnishings inside. In addition to the tables and stools that ordinary people have, there are also medicine cabinets, medicine grinders, medicine cutting knives, small steelyards, etc.
Utensils related to traditional Chinese medicine.
Although the utensils appear simple and even rough, they are very complete, and it can be seen that they have a relatively complete family history.
Without Zihua saying anything, Du Laoqi invited her to sit at a small square table under the corridor, "Come here, let me show you."
People who come here not only get medical treatment but also take medicine. Zihua fell ill with a fever a few days ago and can't walk. It was because Weibao came up from the mountain and invited Du Laoqi to his home to see her.
Now that Juhua is here, she comes for a follow-up consultation without asking.
There was a drawer under the small square table like a coffee table. Du Laoqi took out a polished wooden pillow from the drawer and placed it on the small square table.
Zihua sat over and put her hand flat on the pulse pillow. Du Laoqi stretched out his hand like a big cattail leaf fan and put it on her wrist to feel her pulse.
"The pulse is good." Du Laoqi looked at Yuhua's face again, "What other medicines have you taken?"
"No." The recovery from the illness was related to her practicing Yunsheng Gong, so Zihua naturally wouldn't say anything.
Du Laoqi didn't ask any more questions. He checked her pulse, looked at her tongue coating, and waved his hand, "Did your mother tell you to take medicine? Your cold and cold are gone. I don't think you need to take any more medicine. You can take less medicine."
eat."
"Just listen to Uncle Qi." Zi Hua said.
When Du Laoqi put the pulse pillow back in the drawer, Zihua said, "Uncle Qi, I would like to borrow your medical book to read."
The production of Yunsheng Pills is relatively complicated. She couldn't make it by digging up the medicine in the wild and kneading it. If she made it at home, Miao Dalan and Wei Baoshan would definitely ask her, and she would have to give a reason why she knew how to make it.
The most convenient reason was that she learned it by reading, but there were no medical books at home, so she thought of Du Laoqi's place to borrow the best one she could. If she couldn't borrow it, she would find a reason to go to the county town and buy a copy later.
They were all from the same village, and they all knew each other. In the past few years, the original owner was always ill. Du Laoqi and the original owner's family became acquaintances. Because they were grateful to Du Laoqi, Wei Baoshan and Miao Dalan never forgot each other during the New Year and the holidays.
Send something to Du Laoqi and treat him as a relative.
They have a close relationship, so Zi Hua speaks directly.
Who's family has never been sick or injured? Every family went to Du Laoqi and his son for medical treatment. People in Weijiagou respected Du Laoqi and his son. Even a few gangsters in the village did not come to Du Laoqi's place to cause trouble.
.
Of course, there are also reasons why Du Laoqi's physique is placed here.
People in the village took care of him, and Du Laoqi never avoided anyone. Sometimes when necessary, he would take out books to check in front of people who came to see him.
Perhaps because it was so comfortable to stay here, the town hospital invited Du Laoqi to go but Du Laoqi didn't go and stayed in Weijiagou as a village doctor.
Everyone knows that Du Laoqi has medical books here.
Du Laoqi didn't show much surprise, nor did he refuse outright. He asked her, "Do you want to study medicine?"
"Not necessarily. I want to see it first and then talk about it if I can understand it."
Du Laoqi saw that she was serious and nodded, "One must not be afraid of hardship to study medicine, and the other must be spiritual. If you study medicine without spirituality, you will spend your whole life half-baked and in vain.
I can lend it to you, but I have to agree with you in advance. The book cannot be damaged. It can only be borrowed for one month, and you have to return it if you finish reading it."
Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly, and Yuhua agreed, "Okay. I will definitely keep it safe. Uncle Qi, do you have any books on Chinese herbal medicine here? I want to start by understanding Chinese medicine."
"Yes, there is. Just wait."
Du Laoqi got up and went to the house. After a while, he took out two books and put them on the small square table. "Look at these two books first." Pointing to one of them, he said, "You can learn to memorize these books."
Can learn.”
The two books are very old, but they are not ancient books. They are regular publications from one to twenty years ago. The old books were read by the owner of the books. The title of the book Du Laoqi pointed to is "Song of Soup".
An introductory book on traditional Chinese medicine.
The other is the Chinese herbal medicine book that Yuhua wants, "Modern Practical Chinese Medicine".
No matter where I got these two books, I couldn't fault them. No wonder Du Laoqi lent them to her without any scruples.
Juhua just used it as an excuse and didn't care what book she borrowed.
Because the door of the hall was wide open, she sat on the porch and saw the names of the medicines written on the medicine cabinet inside. Some of them were needed to make Yunsheng Pills, but they were all common medicines, many of which she could dig up in the mountains.
arrive.
She didn't know if Du Laoqi had kept the precious medicinal materials separately or if they really didn't exist, so she didn't ask for no reason.
Zihua didn't stay long and went back with the book.
Not long after she got home, Miao Dalan came back and was obviously relieved to see her at home.
"Xing, what did Du Laoqi say?"
Yuhua replied, "My cold and cold are all gone, and I don't need to take medicine anymore."
"That's good." Miao Dalan was very happy, "Go back and wait for the persimmons to come down and send him more persimmons. Du Laoqi likes to eat that."
Weijiagou is suitable for the growth of persimmons, and almost every household has a persimmon tree.
Persimmons are not only used for eating, but can also be used to make vinegar. During the bad years, the people of Weijiagou were able to survive by exchanging persimmon vinegar and persimmon cakes for food.
Although persimmons are not rare, they are still valued by the people of Weijiagou. Persimmons are a good holiday gift.
"I'll make lunch, and you go and rest in the room."
After a while, Miao Dalan came out of the kitchen, saw Zi Hua walking out, and asked quickly, "Xing, where are you going?"
Zihua said, "I'll pick up Xingyu." The original owner's wish was to make Xingyu live a good life, so she should do what she could first.
Afraid that Zihua's body could not bear the fatigue, Miao Dalan habitually wanted to stop her. Thinking that it would be bad to be bored at home all the time, she did not stop her, "Yu went to the foot of the mountain today, you go out and watch the road."
Patting his head again, "I almost forgot, Xing, why didn't you ask Du Laoqi to prescribe some medicine to remove the roots?"
The medicine they caught would be placed in the kitchen for easy cooking. Miao Dalan came over to ask her when she didn't see the medicine package. Yuhua said, "No need to catch it. Uncle Qi said you can eat less medicine and keep it regularly."
Just touch your body."
When Miao Dalan heard that it was Du Laoqi who said it, she gave up and felt even more happy. Du Laoqi said that there was no need to take medicine, and the root of Xingxing's disease would be cured soon.
Later, I have to use the medicinal tonic soup that Du Laoqi mentioned, and the root of the disease will be removed faster.
She watched Zihua leave the yard with a happy face before returning to the kitchen.
…………
There are several places where pigweed is cut. Wei Xingyu is young, and Miao Dalan told her not to go far away. Wei Xingyu usually works on a stretch of the Xingxi River near the village, and two at the foot of the mountain near her home.
Local mowing.
The Wei family lives at the west end of Dapingpo. If you want to go up the mountain, you can leave the house and walk west for two or three minutes to reach the road leading to the back mountain.
