With the bezoar as a big deal, the old shopkeeper didn't dare to fool around with jade, musk, ginseng, bear gall, snake gall, etc., and the prices were indeed accurate.
Huaiyu is also very professional, and his knowledge of these medicinal materials impressed the old shopkeeper. He also asked about the inheritance of Huaiyu's medical skills, and even wanted to invite Huaiyu to come to them for a consultation when he was free. If he didn't have time, he could also ask him
Some of the prescriptions are sold to pharmacies.
Huaiyu smiled and refused. Traditional Chinese medicine is very particular about secret recipes. This is the skill of eating. Who would teach it lightly?
It cost hundreds of thousands to get through, but Li Sanniang didn't blink an eye.
However, Huaiyu felt relieved when he saw that the medicines he bought were all top-quality and precious medicinal materials. Although artificial bezoar was available in later generations, the price of natural bezoar was getting higher and higher. One kilogram could be sold for more than one million.
Other natural musk, bear gall, snake gall, and wild ginseng are all the same, and they are hard to buy if you have money.
The old Taoists have many precious ancient secret recipes, but many medicinal materials are too precious and difficult to buy, so they have to improve and replace them with other common medicinal materials, such as artificial bezoar instead of natural bezoar, buffalo horn instead of rhino horn, angelica dahurica instead of natural musk, Codonopsis pilosula, and polygonatum ginseng instead of ginseng.
, tiger bones and leopard bones are replaced with tetragonellae, antelope horns are replaced with goat horns, pangolins are replaced with earthworms, cordyceps are replaced with wolfberry, etc. The efficacy of the medicine is actually greatly reduced.
"Can I go get the medicine filled now?"
"No, we need to buy some more medicinal materials." Huaiyu took them directly to Kang'alu Mountain Medicine Store, where they bought borneol, agarwood, myrrh, frankincense, cloves and many other fragrant herbs.
Hundreds of thousands more were spent, and these spices and medicines were also extremely expensive, because they were basically brought and sold by Sogdian Hu merchants from the Western Regions thousands of miles away. However, these spices were not produced in the Western Regions, but were sold in the Western Regions.
The Sogdians bought them from the Persians and Tianzhu people, and many spices were actually sold by Tianzhu merchants from the Southeast Asian Peninsula or Sri Lanka. They went around in circles and were more expensive than gold.
Huaiyu bought several other fragrant medicines from another Hu medicine shop, Ah Rongshi shop.
Huaiyu smiled and said, "Actually, it is useless even if you know the ingredients of the prescription. In addition to the compatibility of the emperor, ministers and envoys, the most important thing about a good prescription is the dosage. Different dosages will have different effects."
"Even if he is a foreign official, he is not of the upper class. How can he be worthy of our little lady?"
Then I went to another large pharmacy, Wan Fuxiang, and bought more than a dozen kinds of herbs such as Panax notoginseng, Sanyucao, White ox bile, Pangolin, Chonglou, Safflower and so on.
"The main medicine is called the king, the assistant to the king is called the minister, and the minister is called the envoy. The main medicine is the main medicine for the disease, so it is called the king. The king has less flavor and heavy weight, so it is the main medicine. The assistant is the main medicine.
When the king considers his ministers, they have more flavor and lighter weight, so they do not help the king. Those who respond to ministers are called envoys, and they can come in and out in number, but their weight is lighter, so they are prepared to guide the envoys.
"In this way, we can not only ensure the quantity and quality of some high-grade elixirs, but also prepare more middle- and low-grade elixirs."
"She looks so fair and fair, which is quite a mark."
Siqi followed Huaiyu, "You bought these medicines in different stores just now. Did you not want others to know your prescriptions?"
"Have you collected everything?"
I visited six or seven major drug stores and purchased a large amount of medicine.
"Just press Erlang."
Huaiyu asked: "I bought more medicinal materials this time and mixed them all, or should I leave some to prepare other medicines in the future?"
I turned around and went to two other pharmacies to buy a lot of borneol, realgar, cinnabar, caowu, galangal, thistle, dried ginger powder, salvia, white root, mole cricket, white philtrum, astragalus, angelica, etc.
Huaiyu wants to prepare a set of three medicines for the Li family: Zhibao Dan, Feilong Dan and Shengyu Dan. Zhibao Dan is mainly used to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis for internal and external injuries, Feilong Dan is mainly used to detoxify and reduce inflammation, and Shengyu Dan is mainly used to nourish blood and replenish qi.
of.
Among all parties, the king and medicine are indispensable, but ministers and assistants are also very important."
The people in the mansion were very curious when they looked at the Huaiyu she brought back.
Li Sanniang took Huaiyu straight to her yard.
Li Sanniang was not stingy about the medicinal materials worth nearly a thousand guan, and planned to prepare them all into medicines. Not only would they be used by her family, but the rest would also be donated to the border soldiers.
Although Huaiyu did not say that he was preventing pharmacies from guessing his prescriptions from his medicines, he was indeed very cautious. He bought a batch of medicines from each pharmacy, and what he bought was not mixed with the same medicine.
Which kid from a well-known family would be willing to wear that crimson uniform and lower his status? Generally speaking, kids from famous families are not college students, but at least Imperial College students. At worst, they can be the three guards or the prince's marriage minister. How can he do it?
Where are the officials in Zhu clothes?
For convenience, it is directly made into large pills, one pill a day, seven pills in a bottle, and a course of treatment is taken three to five days depending on the symptoms and condition.
Li Sanniang specially gave Huaiyu a study room in the front yard to prepare the medicine there alone, to show that she kept his prescription secret.
They brought large and small packages of medicines into the house. Huaiyu kept staring at the medicines, which were worth nearly one million yuan, which was nearly a thousand guan.
"good."
Huaiyu gave her a thumbs up: "Sanniang, you are so generous and generous. I admire you. I will start preparing it right now."
Li Qing had her own courtyard in Yongkang Gongfu, which was actually a third-level courtyard. She lived in Yongkang Gongfu in Chang'an most of the time, although her grandfather Li Duan also had a house in Chang'an, where his father and brother lived.
, she also has a house there, but most of the time she lives in the Yongkang Palace.
Huaiyu was not polite and arranged for people to do the finishing of various medicinal materials, such as crushing and grinding, while he himself was responsible for the mixing.
Li Jing's Yongkang Palace is located in the southeast corner of Pingkangfang, occupying a large area.
Even for the Li Jing family, this should be a lot of money, but Li Sanniang didn't even frown. She just bought whatever Huaiyu said, even if she bought the same thing from two stores, she didn't say anything.
"If Erlang needs any help, just ask."
Li Sanniang didn't ask too much, and every time she just asked the other party to go back to her house to pay the bill, without returning the price.
"It's all ready. My brother is injured and trapped in Ningguan. There are thousands of soldiers who are also trapped there and they need it. In addition, my uncle is guarding Xiaoguan, and the army must be in urgent need of such good medicine.
"
Huaiyu followed Sanniang into the house and found that the Li family was really a mansion, covering an estimated area of a hundred acres, with overlapping large courtyards and small courtyards, as well as gardens, lotus ponds, and rockeries.
"Why are you wearing a crimson official uniform? Could it be that he is a foreign official from the ministry?"
After shopping non-stop, Li Sanniang took Huaiyu directly to Pingkangfang on the west side of the East Market without taking any time to go shopping.
They can stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and replenish blood. They come in a set of three. They can also be used individually. They are all Chinese patent medicines. They are relatively convenient. They don’t need to be decoctioned and taken. It’s more convenient if you can on the battlefield.
Li Sanniang's yard became a medicine shop. She took her maids and maids outside to process various medicinal materials as required, and finally delivered them to the door of Huaiyu's study. Huaiyu weighed and mixed the various medicinal materials, and mixed the various powders together.
Give it to Sanniangzi and others, mix it with arrowroot powder and process it into pills so that they can be easily carried and stored.
The top-grade medicines must be given priority to the main figures of the Li family, such as Li Sanniang’s father, brother, uncle, etc. The middle- and lower-grade medicines can be distributed to other generals, or they can be used according to the severity of the injury. If the injury is not serious, the middle- and low-grade medicines can be used first, preferably
Only use it for serious injuries of the highest quality.
Finally, I bought some kudzu root powder, lotus root starch, glutinous rice, flour, etc.
"What's more, the medication must first be symptomatic and must be adjusted according to the actual symptoms."
I bought a lot of medicinal materials, but Huaiyu still made some suggestions to Li Sanniang. The three medicinal herbs were made into upper, middle and lower grades respectively. The best medicinal materials should be used for the top grade ones, such as horn yellow heart yellow for bezoar, and the middle grade ones are better.
For example, for bezoar, use high-grade gallbladder, and for low-grade pills, use something of similar age or quality, such as bezoar, use powdered huangganhuang, etc.
"That's right, where did this kid come from?"
"Just buy some more pharmaceutical and dispensing tools."
"Who is that person?"
Huaiyu did some calculations and found that the medicinal materials for the top-grade Supreme Treasure Pill are the most expensive, with a bottle costing tens of thousands of dollars. The main ingredients are bezoar, musk, ginseng, etc., which are more expensive, and are all made of the best medicinal materials. The middle-grade Supreme Treasure Pill, one bottle
A bottle costs thousands of dollars, and a low-quality bottle costs several hundred dollars.
There are only seven pills in a bottle, and each top-grade pill is worth more than a thousand dollars, just like golden beans.
The pills are ready, wrapped in paper, and then sealed with wax into bottles. The top grade ones use porcelain bottles, and the middle grade pills use bamboo tubes. In order to distinguish them, Huaiyu still uses the name Zhibao Dan for the top grade medicines, while the middle grade ones are called Bai Bao Dan.
, the lower grade one is called Jiubao Dan.
However, even the latest Jiubao Dan is better than what Huaiyu made when he was in Zhongnan Mountain. After all, bezoar, musk, and ginseng are all natural, and even Panax notoginseng and Daji are of excellent vintage quality.
