Chen Ying asked: "Mr. Tang, what is the name of the Chinese medicine store you are going to and where is it located?"
Tang Feng shook his head and said: "I don't know what it is called or where it is specifically."
He only knew that there was a pharmacy in Chinatown, which was opened by Yingzi's second uncle. The medicinal materials prepared for Deng Xuemei's fiancé were obtained from that pharmacy, so he was sure that there was a pharmacy in Chinatown and he should be able to find the medicinal materials he needed.
"You don't know that pharmacy, so why are you here?" Chen Ying said with a bitter smile, "You didn't think you had a Chinese medicine shop here, so you came here to get medicine in a daze, right?"
Tang Feng said: "No, I know there is a pharmacy in Chinatown. Get off the car and ask."
"Okay." Chen Ying nodded and agreed.
She parked the car on the side of the road, and then the two of them got out of the car and asked passers-by about the whereabouts of the Chinese medicine store.
After asking around quickly, it turned out that the Chinese medicine store they were looking for was called "Chinese Medicine Hall" and was located in the center of Chinatown.
After inquiring about the Chinese Medicine Hall, Tang Feng and Chen Ying rushed there.
Not long after, they arrived at the pharmacy.
The pharmacy is not big, and it is very quiet inside. There is not a single customer in sight.
General medical clinics and traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies are also very deserted in China, and business is not easy to do, but they are not so cold. They are really empty.
But think about it, this is a foreign country. People in my own country are not very receptive to traditional Chinese medicine, let alone foreigners. Medical clinics like this only serve a small number of Chinese people in Chinatown. People from China
It is rare to see a doctor or get medicine.
So it’s normal that there are no customers.
Tang Feng strode towards the inside.
There was only one person inside, a middle-aged man wearing reading glasses.
At this moment, the man was sitting behind the counter reading a book. When he saw someone walking in, he hurriedly put down the book on his hand and stood up to say hello.
"Hello. How can I help you?" He said in English with a smile on his face, showing great enthusiasm.
Tang Feng stepped forward and said bluntly: "I want to take some medicine, but I don't know if you have the medicinal materials I need."
The man nodded and said: "Okay, tell me what medicinal materials you need. I have all the common medicinal materials here, and I also have the ones that can't be found elsewhere. Our medicine shop can be said to be the largest Chinese medicine shop in San Francisco, with the most complete range of medicinal materials."
"
Hearing Tang Feng communicate with him in Chinese, he quickly switched to speaking in Chinese.
Tang Feng said: "Then you should remember it first."
"Okay. You tell me." The man picked up a pen and paper, preparing to write down the medicinal materials he wanted.
Tang Feng said: "The first prescription is 5 cents for Cimicifuga, 5 cents for Bupleurum, 2 cents for Angelicae Sinensis, 1 cent for Sichuan Wu..."
He spelled out the prescriptions he needed in detail.
The man recorded everything one by one.
"Have you remembered everything?" Tang Feng asked afterward.
The man raised his head and said, "Remember it."
Tang Feng said: "I think your pharmacy should have the medicinal materials I want, right?"
"Yes, both!" The man nodded firmly.
Tang Feng said happily: "That's good."
If there are not enough medicinal materials, you have to go around to collect them, which will take a lot of time. They are all available in the herbal medicine hall, so that would be great.
Tang Feng then said: "Then get me some medicine right away."
The man agreed: "Okay."
After saying that, he went to grab the medicine. Tang Feng and Chen Ying stood quietly in front of the counter and waited patiently.
It was obvious that the man was a professional Chinese herbalist. He was very skilled in his techniques and found all the medicinal materials in a short time.
"Young man, I've grabbed the two pairs of medicines you asked for. Should you wrap them up and take them away now?" he asked.
Tang Feng said: "Can you brew the medicine here? If it is convenient, then I can brew the medicine here."
The man replied: "Yes, but there is a fee."
Tang Feng shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, I will pay according to the price. I will brew the medicine myself, you just need to provide me with the place and tools."
The man said: "The alchemy is in the medicine hall at the back. Come with me."
He took the medicinal materials and walked towards the back room with Tang Feng.
The refining pharmacy is small, but it is well-equipped with all necessary medicine-refining tools.
Tang Feng was very satisfied.
Next, he started refining medicine with the help of this small refining pharmacy.
What he wants to refine now are two kinds of medicine, one is a relatively common decoction.
The other type is an elixir that uses spiritual herbs.
Although he has controlled Polly's injuries, he can use ordinary medicines for follow-up treatment and cure her.
But with that kind of treatment, her physical recovery would be much slower, and he wanted her to recover as soon as possible, so he planned to use spiritual herbs to refine the effective elixir.
Anyway, he only used the cultivated semi-spiritual grass. Now that he has a lot of semi-spiritual grass on his hands, it doesn't matter if he uses even a little bit of it.
Because he was here to save people, Tang Feng specially brought some spiritual herbs before he came, which he could use to make elixirs.
Now that all the medicinal materials are ready, you can just brew them.
Making decoction is very simple, and ordinary people can do it.
Refining alchemy is a little more complicated, but in the hands of an alchemist like Tang Feng, it is not much different from refining ordinary Chinese medicine pills.
It took about three hours and both doses of medicine came out smoothly.
"Young man, are you a Chinese herbalist?"
The man standing by to help saw how skillfully Tang Feng prepared the medicine and couldn't help but ask.
Tang Feng nodded and said: "Yes, I am a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I came from China. A friend was injured. I came here to treat her, but I didn't have any medicinal materials to make the medicine, so I came to you to get the medicine."
The man smiled and said: "I rarely see a Chinese medicine practitioner as young as you. It takes courage for you to learn Chinese medicine."
Tang Feng said: "That's not the case anymore. I learned it naturally."
The man said: "Traditional Chinese medicine used to be our traditional Chinese medicine, but now it has been almost replaced by Western medicine and has been almost abandoned. I opened a Chinese medicine clinic in a foreign country. Many people who know me said I was stupid. This is also true. Chinese medicine is too common here."
I am no longer welcome, and few people come to me for medical treatment or medicine. It would be much better if I opened a Western medicine clinic or pharmacy."
Tang Feng shook his head and said: "It's not what you said. Now the status of traditional Chinese medicine in the country has improved. At least it is accepted by many people in Jiangzhou where I practice medicine."
What he said was true. His reputation was known to many people, and there was an endless stream of patients who came to him for medical treatment every day. It was not what he said.
"Really?" the man said doubtfully.
Tang Feng solemnly nodded and said: "Yes, maybe you have been out for too long. If you have time, go back to China and have a look. The Chinese medicine environment is not as bad as you think. Okay, my medicine has been refined and I am ready to go back.
.”
"Okay." The man agreed.
Tang Feng packed up, took the medicine and left the back hall.
"Mr. Tang, has the medicine been prepared?" Chen Ying, who was waiting outside, asked hurriedly when she saw Tang Feng coming out.
Tang Feng nodded and said, "Well, I'm done practicing. You can go."
Then he paid the medical bills, said goodbye and left.
Just as they walked to the door, several people suddenly walked in from outside.
When he saw them, Tang Feng's expression changed slightly and he couldn't help being surprised.
