Chapter 19

Old man Cen glanced at the little girl twice again. To be able to say these words, she must know more about medicine than she showed.

But old man Cen didn't ask, he knew that now was not a good time to ask.

"Mr. Zhang, I have also seen your son's illness, and I have told you the method of detoxification. Shouldn't you also fulfill your promise?"

Old man Cen directly extended his hand to Zhang Fengling.

"Oh! This consultation fee must be indispensable! Come here! Prepare 50 taels of silver! Oh no, 100 taels!"

"I'm not talking about the consultation fee, I'm talking about Dong Danggui, you won't go back on your word, will you?" Old Cen cast a distrustful look at Zhang Fengling.

"Of course not! Look at my brain! I'll let someone count it up, count as much as you have, and give them all!"

Zhang Fengling hurriedly ordered the servant to find Uncle Sun, and asked Uncle Sun to count the medicinal materials in the house, especially Donganggui, and put them all in boxes for old man Cen to take away.

He can be considered to have seen old man Cen's ability, such a doctor with superb medical skills, naturally he will make friends with him if he can.

People eat five grains, how can there be no disease?
In the past, his eyes were higher than the top, and he didn't believe that there would be a genius doctor with superb medical skills in a small place like Shangxi Town, so he almost made a big mistake.Now if he can use money and medicinal materials to make up for it, and have more friendship with old man Cen, it will be a good deal.

"En." Counting Zhang Fengling's knowledge, old man Cen was finally satisfied. "I want the angelica, and I want the consultation money."

The medicinal materials belong to the medicinal materials, and the money belongs to the silver money. Old man Cen understands the calculation.

"It's natural, it's natural!" Zhang Fengling nodded.

All the medicinal materials and consultation fees were presented, and the Zhang family gave Xiaoruo two taels of silver as a thank you.

It's not that the Zhang family is stingy, the Dong Dang Gui that Old Cen gave to him on the surface was actually for Xiaoxun, and the two big boxes of Dong Dang Gui, converted into silver money, are no less than the consultation fee for Old Cen.

This cash is only given two taels, which is just to express a meaning. I am afraid that a girl and a young man in the Xiao family will bring two Douding milk babies.

There is a saying that everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.

After the old man Liu Cen and the four members of the Xiao family had a rich meal, the Zhang family sent someone to send them back to the Tzu Chi Hall in soft sedan chairs.

Back at the Tzu Chi Hall, old man Cen was busy.

Angelica sinensis should be classified according to size, and whole angelicas of the same specification should be picked out, and soaked in the urn under the head and whiskers.After the medicinal materials are in a state of continuous bending and toughness, according to a certain proportion, Dong Angelica is placed under the head, down, or up and down, or placed horizontally and tightened, and then the medicine is placed on the knife.This is to ensure that the head, tail, and body of Angelica sinensis can be mixed according to the optimal ratio, so as to exert the greatest medicinal effect.

I saw the old man Cen holding the medicine in his right hand, using the guillotine to slice the Dong Danggui into thin slices.While cutting the medicine, he called Xiaoruo to come forward to help, and took the opportunity to ask clearly what he hadn't finished asking in Zhang's mansion.

"Girl, have you studied Qihuang pharmacology?"

"I haven't learned it completely. There were a few old doctors near my home before, and I just helped them out. After a long time, I learned a little bit." Xiao Ruo slightly adapted the matter of helping the old Chinese doctors with medicinal materials at the base, more closely In line with this world, it will not arouse suspicion.

"Then can you distinguish medicinal materials and deal with medicinal properties?"

"I can only recognize a few. I don't know much about the treatment of medicinal properties. I have only baked them for the old doctors a few times. The main thing is their treatment. I just see the heat."

"You know how to watch the heat?!" Old Cen was shocked.

In addition to distinguishing the medicinal properties of medicinal materials and combining medicinal materials to enhance their efficacy, the processing of medicinal materials mainly involves burning, refining, firing, and broiling, all of which do not require the use of fire.

To be a good pharmacist, you must learn to watch the heat from an early age, and be familiar with the shape of fire. The temperature of fire is different at different stages. You must have a wealth of experience accumulation so that the medicinal materials will not change due to the temperature of the fire during the processing. And destroy it once.

The process of accumulating experience can range from ten years to decades.Some drug boys have become old men, and they may not be able to guarantee the maximum medicinal properties of the medicinal materials every time they are processed. One can imagine the weight of the three words of heat.

Xiaoruo still didn't know how much impact her words had on old man Cen. She was holding the bamboo basket of angelica slices and watched old man Cen stop cutting the medicine, feeling a little puzzled.

"Well, I'm more sensitive to fire, so most of the time I'm the one who comes to see the fire."

"Look at the fire...Okay, okay, okay!" Old man Cen burst out laughing suddenly, saying hello a few times. "Girl later, help me to see the fire too. Let's concoct this Donggui and make it into charcoal and earthen fried Angelica! This processed Donggui is better for that kid's injuries!"

Xiaoruo is naturally happy to help Xiaoxun expel toxins and restore health faster.

An old man and a young man both quickened their hands and finished slicing up two boxes full of Dong Danggui in a short time.

Elder Cen took Xiaoruo to the backyard of the Tzu Chi Hall with the pills in his hands.The backyard is divided into five rooms. The two rooms on the left and right are smaller and are used for daily use such as sleeping and storing sundries. The largest room in the middle is where old man Cen stores and processes medicinal materials.

"I'll stir fry, you watch the fire, let's fry Angelica Charcoal first."

Old man Cen led Xiao Ruo to the earthen stove, on which was a large black and shiny iron pot.

"Angelica charcoal should be fried on medium heat throughout the whole process. Girl, you have to be careful. If the fire is too high, it will only increase the dryness and heat. If the fire is low, the medicinal properties will not be enough."

Xiaoruo nodded in agreement, stuffed the firewood into the stove, and blew air on the fire to ignite the straw, so as to speed up the burning of the firewood.

While old man Cen was concentrating on stir-frying Dong Dang Gui, she slightly folded her five fingers and brushed it into the earthen stove, and the firewood that had just turned red at one corner of the stove was wrapped in a ball of flames.

The medium fire is about 120 degrees Celsius. She controls the burning speed of the flame so that the fire is evenly distributed and licks the bottom of the iron pan.

With every stir-frying of old man Cen's brass shovel, the fire will change according to the rhythm.

When the shovel disperses the medicinal materials, the fire will disperse in four circles, and the medicinal materials will gather at the bottom of the pot, and the fire temperature will drop a few degrees, so as to prevent the rapid carbonization of the medicinal materials at the bottom of the pot due to excessive accumulation.

After several times of covering and suffocating, most of the original water vapor in the medicinal materials evaporated, and the color of the angelica in the iron pot was slightly black, and the pieces were shrunk and firm.

Old man Cen took out the processed angelica charcoal and spread it out in a porcelain bowl to dissipate the heat.

Each piece of this bowl of angelica charcoal is black but not burnt, and the color is shiny, exuding the unique medicinal fragrance of angelica in the white porcelain bowl.

Not a single loss!
Old man Cen called himself a pharmacist, and he considered his skill in concocting medicinal materials to be extraordinary, but he dared not say that the medicinal materials he concocted did not suffer any loss. This was the first time that he had processed them so perfectly.

"Good! Good! Good!" He narrowed his eyes into two slits, clapped his hands and laughed. "The younger generation is awesome, the younger generation is awesome! Girl, you are really the most talented pharmacist I have ever seen!"
