Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1364: Solidification Medium
During casual conversations, herbal farmer Lao Pei mentioned "Sangong Lake" many times, saying that there is a kind of deep-water shellfish growing at the bottom of the lake, which the locals call "green and red shellfish". There are two colors, one of which has patterns on the shell, white water patterns mixed with flame patterns, with clear layers and colorful colors. It would not be out of place as a work of art with a little processing. This kind has the strongest medicinal properties and the highest medicinal value.

In Bian Mu's impression, the former daughter-in-law of the Lu family, the painter named Fang, seemed to have similar themes in her early historical works. The flame patterns were specially artistically processed, and the sharpness of the colors left a very deep impression on people. At that time, Bian Mu read a kind of power of struggle against the abyss from the works, a very unrestrained power, leaving people with a feeling similar to... wanton, as if the dam was about to burst.

The shell of another kind of lake clam appears to be much smoother, and is overall green with a slightly gray tint, with relatively fewer patterns. According to the herbal farmer Lao Pei, that kind of gray clam is slightly poisonous, and excessive intake can easily induce Alzheimer's disease.

This kind of lake shell has strong medicinal properties, and has been known to have effects such as clearing away heat and detoxifying, astringing and stopping bleeding, calming the liver and suppressing yang...

For Bian Mu, this so-called "green and red clam" is also given another special meaning: it can strengthen the medicinal properties.

"Yin" is the abbreviation of medicine lead; "Gu" means to enhance the stability of medicinal properties and make it less susceptible to the chemical reactions produced by other medicinal ingredients. It can fix some very important medicinal properties so that the related medicinal properties will not be lost too much before patients take it.

In layman's terms, in the preparation process of Chinese patent medicine, a certain active ingredient extracted from this "green and red clam", especially the fire-patterned clam, can act as a good "translator" between the lesion and the medicinal properties.

Relatively speaking, the preparation of Western medicine is more or less lacking in theoretical explanation of warmth, coldness and coolness. After patients take the medicine, the changes in the flow of Qi and blood in the human body, whether it is cold or warm, fast or slow, are sometimes not paid much attention to. However, high-quality Chinese patent medicines are very particular about this aspect. Sometimes, pharmaceutical makers even regard it as the lifeblood of the medicine.

When Chinese patent medicines are processed in the Western way, a considerable part of their medicinal properties will be lost. Huang Boxi has always disagreed with this and believed that it was a joke on Chinese patent medicines.

Gong Jianshi, Lei Xueming and their group adopted an attitude of ignoring this and focusing on the big picture from the beginning. As the Western processing technology of traditional Chinese medicines continued to advance, they faced huge pressure from market sales imposed by their better peers and were forced to readjust their design concepts. After searching around, they secretly visited Bian Mu.

Bian Mu guessed that the two brothers must have spent a lot of money and effort to find traces of his technology.

Gong Jianshi should be very clear in his mind that with their human, material resources, financial resources, and pharmaceutical skills... they would probably get nothing even if they spent the rest of their lives searching through thousands of Chinese herbal medicines, minerals, and animal medicines... Taking a shortcut through a special talent like Bian Mu is indeed the most economical approach.

Bian Mu had a clear understanding of this.

Since the other side is "keeping its troops on hold", we have to sit back and wait.

Bian Mu himself also has to do screening in units of "ten thousand". Of course, that is a more advanced, more avant-garde and more technologically advanced compound screening. In this regard, other colleagues really cannot compare with him. Some functions of the "Digital Medicine" engineering system founded by Bian Mu are already available for trial use. With the blessing of this magical tool, the specific screening will naturally be much more efficient.

In this regard, it seems that no one can match it within a radius of 300 kilometers. As for the situation outside 300 kilometers, that is not Bian Mu’s concern!
Even if the young female chef didn't mention deep lake fishing, Bian Mu would still have to do some fishing himself.

After the two met up, Bian Mu assembled the erbium material he had carefully prepared, and used a "U" groove rod to throw the "fish rope" along the bow of the boat into the lake.

……

The buoy moved, but Bian Mu ignored it. "It's a fish, ignore it!"

“You can even see such a long fishing rope?!” exclaimed the young female chef.

"You'll gain experience as you fish more, so just wait!"

……

The signal finally matched, and Bian Mu quickly reeled in the line. After a long while, the fishing head came up. Wow! He only caught a spotted silver carp by mistake, and the rest were really "horsetail shrimps", which were medium to large in size and were the first choice of high-end restaurants.

Before coming, Bian Mu prepared a lot of inflatable cages. The young female chef seemed to be very knowledgeable. The two of them divided the work and cooperated with each other. In a short while, they had inflated five or six cages for holding living things.

Bian Mu's fishing skills were evident. In less than an hour, the two of them had caught four boxes of "horsetail shrimps". Out of courtesy, Bian Mu specially brought a box to the three boatmen in the cabin. The three of them were experts and were naturally overjoyed.

Afterwards, they went around the bow and Bian Mu used the dragging hook method to catch a lot of "green and red clams". From beginning to end, the two of them were always with the work and were careful and cautious, and they managed not to cut their hands and feet.

It was getting late, and after everything was ready, Bian Mu informed the captain to return.

On the shore, Manager Wang and the other two had been waiting anxiously. Only when they saw Bian Mu and the other two return safely did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Bian Mu originally planned to treat everyone to a good meal at the scenic spot, but the captain and three others were quite loyal and said that they would meet again if they were destined to. They also did have shipping duties to do, and the scenic spot had an internal staff canteen, so they ultimately did not accept Bian Mu's dinner invitation.

Thinking that there was a long time to come and he would inevitably have to trouble the three of them in the future, Bian Mu said goodbye to the three boatmen after some polite conversation.

Bian Mu made the decision to divide the "horsetail shrimps" into four portions: one for the young female chef, one for Director Tong, one for Manager Wang and the other three, and one for himself. Everyone was naturally very happy. They were all people who had seen the world, and as soon as they saw the appearance of the live shrimps, they knew that they were definitely top-quality high-protein complexes that could not be obtained at other times no matter how much money they spent.

They picked the most exquisite restaurant in the scenic area, and Bian Mu treated everyone to a fast food meal with the theme of "Fresh Food from the Lake". While chatting and laughing, Bian Mu told the supervisor named Wang that they could have a good rest in the business car after the meal, and he still had to drive with the female chef along the smallest tributary in the middle to inspect the eels.

Bian Mu explained it very clearly. There are many water farmers distributed around the small tributary, and it is very lively. If too many people go, they can't help much, and they will have to greet each other, which is totally unnecessary. It would be better for the three of them to take a short rest in the car, and then find a teahouse to drink tea, play cards or something. After Bian Mu finishes his work, everyone will gather together and drive back to the city.

Manager Wang was worldly-wise and could not figure out what the relationship was between the handsome famous doctor and the beautiful girl. The two of them might have discussed something and gone out to do, or maybe there was something they didn't want outsiders to know. Anyway, Director Tong had told them to follow Doctor Bian's arrangements, so they just had to listen. After a few polite words, Manager Wang said he would follow Bian Mu's arrangements.

Supervisor Wang reminded Bian Mu that the cultural environment in this lake area is relatively more complicated than that in the city, so he asked the two of them to act with caution and to contact him immediately by phone if they encountered any trouble. They still have some social connections in the area and are ready to be dispatched by Bian Mu at any time.
