Xu Jia looked at Old Henry with disdain: "How do you know the pills are poisonous?"
Old Henry curled his lips: "This thing of yours is very dark and smells very disgusting. Just by this smell, you know that this black pill is not a good thing. Who can believe that this thing can cure diseases?"
Peter also asked Xu Jia: "Mr. Xu, what is this black pill? I smelled it and my breathing became much smoother immediately. It's really magical."
Xu Jia said: "This is a pill made from precious medicinal materials such as angelica root, thousand-year-old ginseng, deer antler, etc. It has a very miraculous effect in treating your asthma. It is also non-toxic and has no side effects."
Peter said: "Angelica sinensis? Deer antlers? What are these things? Is there any scientific principle? I don't understand. Is it any different from our Western anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics?"
Xu Jia said: "Angelica sinensis and velvet antler are all important matters in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine regulates qi, harmonizes it, regulates the five elements, and regulates yin and yang..."
Peter clapped his hands: "So it's Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is really good. My little grandson Pipilu especially likes Chinese medicine."
Just then, a child of fifteen or sixteen years old jumped in and looked at Xu Jia with green eyes flashing: "Mr. Xu, do you know about Chinese medicine? My name is Pipilu. I particularly like Chinese medicine. Hehe,
Chinese medicine is really cool. I know Huangdi, Shen Nong tastes a hundred herbs, and I also know Lao Tzu. Chinese medicine is also divided into Taoist doctors and witch doctors..."
Xu Jia was also shocked when he saw a foreign child talk about traditional Chinese medicine in such a eloquent manner, and even Huangdi, Shennong, and Laozi knew it, and could name many herbal medicines.
However, when he saw that Pipiru was walking unsteadily and his face was as white as a piece of paper, bloodless, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Gradually, he saw something fishy...
Pipiru said: "Mr. Xu, am I great? I know a lot about Chinese medicine. I have been very fond of Chinese culture since I was a child, and the Chinese Kung Fu. Ah, very good. It's so cool. Mr. Xu, why don't you
Tell me, are you scared by me? I can also do Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do..."
He gestured, but his body was uncoordinated and he suddenly fell down.
Seeing Pipilu fall, Henry couldn't help but laugh: "You're almost paralyzed, why do you practice Jeet Kune Do? Just lie on the bed if you have nothing to do. What are you doing out there? It's worrying. Besides, he's obviously pregnant.
She has fair skin, but she likes Chinese medicine. I don’t know what’s going on in her brain.”
"Pipilu, be careful." Peter walked over tremblingly.
"I'll do it, Mr. Pitt."
Xu Jia helped Pipilu up and grabbed Pipilu's wrist, immediately feeling a biting chill.
My wrist was extremely cold, colder than holding a piece of ice.
"Thank you Mr. Xu!"
Pipilu stood up crookedly, looked at Xu Jia and asked: "Mr. Xu, do you like Chinese medicine?"
Xu Jia nodded: "I am a Chinese medicine doctor."
"Really?"
Pipilu clapped his hands happily: "I think Chinese medicine is much more profound than Western medicine."
Xu Jia was stunned: "It's hard to say which one is more profound, but Chinese medicine is more extensive, and each has its own merits."
"no, no, no!"
Pipiru said very professionally: "Western medicine treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Chinese medicine treats the root cause. Western medicine pays attention to disassembly, while Chinese medicine treats the whole. I think Chinese medicine is more malleable and profound."
Xu Jia looked at Pipilu, a little surprised.
He didn't say how profound Chinese medicine is just now, he was just being modest.
Unexpectedly, Pippi was more serious.
White children like Pipiru are really rare.
Xu Jia was somewhat interested in him and asked, "It seems that you also know a lot about Western medicine?"
Pipilu nodded: "Understand a little."
Peter came over and said with some pride: "Pipilu likes medicine very much. He is a top student at Yale Medical School. Although he is only 15 years old, he is already a doctor."
"ah?"
Xu Jia was shocked: "It turns out you are a genius. Pipilu, you are great. You are a genius in Western medicine."
Pipilu shook his head: "It is because I know better that I know the limitations of Western medicine. Unintentionally, I found a book called "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is really amazing. So, I vowed to become a Chinese medicine doctor.
genius."
Xu Jia nodded: "You can definitely do it, I'm optimistic about you."
"Thank you Mr. Xu!"
Pipiru and Xu Jia chatted endlessly, chatting about small things.
Henry was disturbed by the sudden appearance of Pipiru. He was very angry. He paced his cane vigorously and shouted: "You are a child, why are you making trouble? Don't you see the adults talking? Do you understand?
Polite? You actually discuss Chinese medicine, why don't you learn it well? You are embarrassing the Pitt family, do you understand?"
Pipilu was frightened by Henry's fierce momentum.
Xu Jia patted Pipilu's head: "Are you afraid?"
Pipilu nodded.
Xu Jia whispered: "I'm scared too. If I encounter a mad dog and bite people randomly, I have no choice but to bite back again."
"Haha, Mr. Xu, you are so interesting. I like your humor."
Pipilu laughed happily.
Being called a mad dog by Xu Jia, Henry was very angry. His face turned red and he said to Peter: "Don't blame me for not warning you. The pill Xu Jia gave you is not a good thing. Where can I find my special potion that will work?"
Xu Jia said: "Good words are not as good as good curative effect. My little black pill looks inconspicuous, but it can cure asthma and is more effective than your special medicine. Why are you not convinced?"
Henry laughed disdainfully: "My potion is a high-tech product, refined using advanced equipment. Your pills are just blended with grass roots. How can you compare with me? Your pills are poisonous. Peter, if you believe him, you
I was fooled."
Xu Jia smiled: "So your potion is so high-end, okay, let me ask you, what are the ingredients in your potion? Why can it treat asthma, and what is the principle? You answer me."
"I……"
Henry was stunned, where could he come up with an answer?
Xu Jia asked again: "Why, you don't answer me?"
Henry bit the bullet and said, "I'm not a doctor, how do I know what the principle is?"
Xu Jia laughed loudly: "You don't even know the ingredients and treatment principles of the potion, but you dare to boast about how good the potion is. Why are you so thick-skinned? You don't understand the most basic medical skills, but you criticize Chinese medicine. You want to
Are you shameless? If you know it, you know it, and if you don’t know it, you don’t know it. Do you understand?"
After being scolded by Xu Jia again, Henry was almost furious and shouted hysterically: "Anyway, Western medicine medicines are high-tech products and expensive to make, but they are a hundred times stronger than your traditional Chinese medicine pills. My medicine is
Non-toxic and harmless, your Chinese medicines are poisonous and can kill people."
"Tsk, tsk, old Henry, if you can't defeat me, why are you here to scold the streets?"
Xu Jia shrugged: "Okay, everything is fine. Mr. Pitt and you old Henry are bored. Let's do an experiment. It's a bet to see whether it's your potion that's poisonous or my pills.
poisonous."
Old Henry said: "Just bet, I'm afraid of you."
Xu Jia winked at Old Henry and said, "Let's place a bet. Do you want another foot gift?"
"This..." Old Henry thought of that ugly look and did not dare to answer.
Xu Jia laughed loudly: "I'm still a gambling king, but I'm actually scared."
Old Henry slapped the table: "Let's bet. This time, I will make you kneel down."
"Okay! I guess you have the guts."
Xu Jia said to Pipilu: "You study Western medicine, right? How about we get two white mice."
"no problem."
Pipilu ran out in a crooked manner. After a while, he ran out sweating profusely and brought two white mice: "These are the white mice we used for experiments. Mr. Xu, what do you want to do?"
Xu Jia said to Henry, Peter and others: "Did you see that the two white mice are fine? Old Henry, you put a drop of the medicine on the white mouse, and I also gave a small black pill to the other white mouse.
The results will be available in less than ten minutes. If it is really poisonous, the white mouse will definitely react. Old Henry, do you think it is fair?"
Old Henry was blameless for this most primitive method. He poked his cane and said, "Okay, let's do it like this, Xu Jia, you don't need to be crazy, you will be dumbfounded in a while."
Xu Jia stretched out his hand to Peter: "Give me a pill."
"This..." Peter was still a little reluctant.
Xu Jia said: "Oh, don't be so picky. This thing costs one yuan and three pounds. I have as much as you want."
"Ah? Three pounds for one dollar."
Peter was covered in disbelief.
Xu Jia chuckled: "This is another benefit of traditional Chinese medicine: high quality and low price."
Xu Jia handed the pills to Pipilu: "You come and feed the mice, lest old Henry loses and makes excuses, saying that I caused trouble."
Pipilu took the pill and gave it to the mouse to eat.
Henry also dropped a drop of the medicine and put a drop in the mouth of the white mouse.
Xu Jia looked at his watch and said firmly: "There will be a reaction in fifteen minutes."
Henry sneered disdainfully: "Do you think you are a god? Can you calculate so accurately?"
徐甲点点头:“往日的风光不要提了,我可是连爱神丘比特都揍过的.”
"Ha ha……"
Henry smiled from ear to ear: "You are the most arrogant person I have ever seen."
"Hey, why do no one always believe me when I tell the truth?"
Xu Jia was speechless, hugging his shoulders and waiting quietly.
Fifteen minutes later, the white mouse that had taken the drop of potion rolled over and over, scratched its paws back and forth, and started squeaking.
But the white mouse that took the black pill was safe and sound, with its eyes wide open and looking at its companion curiously, wondering why it became so hysterical.
Pipilu screamed: "It's poisoned. The white mouse ate the potion and was poisoned."
Henry was completely dumbfounded: "How is it possible? How is it possible to be poisoned? This is unscientific..."
Originally, he was very confident in the potion, but he never expected that something would go wrong.
The most horrifying thing was Pete, who couldn't help but feel horrified when he saw the white mouse in pain.
He drinks potion every day, so he must be very poisoned.
