My village can't be like this

Chapter 269 Manuscripts
Zhang An took the books handed over by Zhang Xingxing, opened them one by one, and roughly read them.

Flipping through to the end, a booklet caught Zhang An's attention.

The soft book jacket, Zhang An can only feel that it is a cover made of silk items after rubbing it with his fingers.

Unlike several other books, it has a hard shell cover framed by wooden boards.

Open the book cover, the yellowed paper inside, although it can also make people feel some historical atmosphere.

But compared with several other ancient books, its age is obviously not old enough.

In the booklet, small square characters in italics stood out vividly on the paper, and Zhang An could feel that the owner who wrote them at that time must have had profound calligraphy skills.

After reading a few pages carefully, Zhang An can roughly see that this booklet is not an ancient book that records any theory, but a hand-written manuscript.

Because Zhang An opened the inside, it was obvious that it was a manuscript, because there were prescriptions and lesions recorded in it.

Turning over a few more pages, we can see that the content recorded on each page is not neatly typesetting, but has been added or crossed out many times.

It can be seen that the most modified places have been revised back and forth many times.

The prescriptions on every page are like this. Zhang An guessed that after this manuscript was recorded, it has gone through many demonstrations.

There are even some prescriptions that add different degrees of lesions on the side, how to control the dosage of the medicine.

But even so, the place that has been modified the most does not seem to be confusing at all.

On the contrary, because of the neat fonts, it is a kind of enjoyment to line up together.

The more he turned back, the more surprised Zhang An was.

Although most of the prescriptions recorded in this manuscript have no names.

But after this period of study, Zhang An can be regarded as having some foundation.

There are many prescriptions, and you can see what prescriptions are based on the medication.

For example, Zhang An recognized the Xiaochaihu soup and Xiaoqinglong soup most commonly used by Zhang and his party from the past to now.

When he turned to the middle part of the manuscript, Zhang An was stunned.

I saw that on this page, there were two lines of block letters with a slightly larger size.

"Angong Niuhuang Pills—Rescue the emergency in an instant, save the dying in an instant"

Although this prescription was handwritten and recorded, it was recorded in great detail no matter from the dosage of the medicinal materials, the method of preparation, to the method of making the pills in the end.

This is something that Zhang An has been thinking about day and night, and has been asking for it all the time.

Even though I heard that the old man in the Chinese medicine hall has prescriptions handed down from his ancestors at home.

But Zhang An has never seen a part of the recipe, and there is no way to prove whether it is true or not.

Even though Zhang An proposed many times that he wanted to buy a copy at a high price, he was rejected by the other party with a smile.

But at this moment, something that Zhang An always thought was far away from him appeared in front of his eyes, and Zhang An felt a little unreal for a while.

From the beginning to the end, Zhang An found many key prescriptions for life-saving in it.

He still couldn't believe that such a thing would fall into his hands.

If the things recorded in the manuscript are true, then there will be a lot of wealth in it.

Zhang An, who has the experience of later generations, naturally knows that after many years, the famous and unknown pharmaceutical companies in the market will not be exiled if they can purchase the pharmaceutical formula.

Therefore, even in those Chinese medicine hospitals in later generations, it is rare to be able to dispense good prescriptions.

On the contrary, there are still many elderly local doctors in the countryside who can prescribe some curative prescriptions based on their own experience.

Even if Zhang An didn't meet Zhang and his party back in the last life, Zhang An still has some influence on this aspect because of the presence of Zhang Erye.

When Zhang Erye often gave medicines to the villagers, he would tell Zhang An that the big prescriptions were not needed for minor illnesses, and the small prescriptions of two or three herbs were enough.

For more serious symptoms, small prescriptions are useless, and Chinese prescriptions with seven to nine herbs may be needed.

And the most serious lesions Zhang Erye has ever seen are tuberculosis and other serious diseases that he saw with his master back then.

At that time, Zhang Erye had seen the largest prescription, and it was only eleven to thirteen herbs.

Traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine in that the more medicine is used, the better the effect will be.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the combination of medicinal properties, so the more medicinal materials there are, the more complicated the way is.

And no matter how many medicinal materials you grab, in the end it will be a bowl of medicinal soup.

Therefore, really skilled old Chinese medicine practitioners are very taboo to prescribe generous prescriptions to others, unless they encounter serious diseases.

But generally, even if it is a serious illness, it will not exceed the thirteen herbs.

And when Zhang An's later generations lived in the city, they went to the hospital a lot.

One time, when he went to the province of Chinese medicine, he had a minor illness, and the doctor prescribed him a secondary medicine, which contained 23 kinds of medicinal materials.

Because he kept in mind what his second grandfather told him when he was a child, he didn't dare to take that medicine, so he directly refused the doctor's order to go home.

Now that Zhang An thinks of this, he also finds it funny.

Holding the manuscript in his hand, he couldn't help flipping through it again. Sure enough, there were many prescriptions in it, and the most did not exceed the thirteen herbs.

"Godfather, are all the prescriptions in this manuscript true?"

The more he thought about the end, the more Zhang An felt that the originally light manuscript became heavy in his hands.

"This manuscript was handed down by my master's master, and the prescription above was also recorded by him."

Watching Zhang An ask questions, Zhang Xingxing explained the origin of the manuscript with a smile.

"I have used most of the prescriptions recorded here, and my master and I have personally used them, and they have been demonstrated many times."

"Look at the different fonts in it. Some of them were modified by my master before, and then passed to me. I also changed them a little after taking medicine."

"However, I haven't touched the big prescription in it, because I haven't encountered a suitable disease in these years."

"There are some ancient recipes in it. Although I haven't tried it myself, I have seen Master use it for others in the past."

As Zhang Xingxing said, he pointed out to Zhang An what he hadn't argued.

For the remaining places that have not been demonstrated by him, a small part are some generous prescriptions that are rarely used, and most of them are some ancient prescriptions that have been passed down for a long time.

Da Fangzi couldn't prove it. After all, in the era of inconvenient transportation, information exchange was relatively difficult, and there were indeed not many people in contact.

However, although most of the ancient prescriptions recorded in the manuscripts have not been used by Zhang Xingxing, he has seen old Taoist Zhang use them before.

Among them are Liuwei Dihuang Wan, Angong Niuhuang Wan and a series of general pill prescriptions.

These prescriptions are all handwritten and recorded in the manuscript, so it stands to reason that they should all be used before.

But this is medicine after all, and it was formulated for people to eat, so it took a long time, Zhang An couldn't be sure, and he definitely didn't dare to use it directly.

"I have copied all the content in this notebook. Now you are just in the process of studying. There are many revisions and arguments in the original manuscript, which is very suitable for studying, so I will leave it to you in the future."

Hearing what Zhang Xingxing said, Zhang An didn't say anything else.

As Zhang Xingxing said, he was sixty years old, had no children, no daughters, no disciples, and only Zhang An, an adopted son.

Whether it's now or in the future, what he left behind will be handed over to Zhang An.

Before I knew it, half a month had passed.

And the Taoist temple that needs to be re-covered is finally completed by flipping.

The biggest difficulty in building a house on the mountain behind the purple bamboo forest is not the speed of building walls, but the transportation of building materials.

But because it is a Taoist temple, it is also because of the help Zhang and his disciples have given us in the past.

Whenever materials need to be transported, everyone in the village who is not alive or in the field will take the initiative to help.

Although animals are seldom used to carry them, everyone comes to help with their backs on their backs.

But there are so many people who can't stand it, you go to me, and you can move all the things you need in half a day.

On the other hand, Uncle Zhang and his engineering team had nothing to do at the end of the year, so they started working very quickly.

So in less than half a month, the reconstruction of the Taoist temple has been completed.

It is said to be a Taoist temple, but it actually looks like three large private houses.

Although it is not as good as those famous grand sights, it is enough in this mountain.

Today is a good day, and it is the time for the Taoist temple to ascend the beam.

Everyone knew the time to put up the beams very early, and they came here early in the morning with a few beams and pillars that Zhang An had prepared.

After Zhou Yang ignited the firecrackers and crackled, everyone worked together to lift several beams to the roof and move them to the reserved place.

It didn't take much time to complete the finishing work of roof tiles, and the last thing was to invite the Patriarch of Sanqing back to the hall.

There are very few major events in the village, and the reopening of the Taoist temple made everyone lively together.

This day is also the time when the incense is most prosperous, both adults and children go to offer incense.

And Zhang and his party, from this day on, did not continue to live in Zhang An's house, but moved into the Taoist temple.

Zhang An's family originally wanted to keep him to live there, but Zhang and his party said that the temple has been built and needs incense offerings and cleaning every day.

Seeing Zhang An's reluctance, Zhang Xingxing smiled and said that he will not go out again in the future, and he will live in the village, so there is no need to do so.

In the past, it took at least four to ten minutes to go to the Taoist temple from the village.

But a few days ago, after the Taoist temple was built, the old village head asked everyone to help and built a road from the village.

Even the bamboo forest has been cut down, and now the roads are all paved with bluestone slabs, and it takes at most twenty minutes to go from the village.

In fact, the old village chief also had other thoughts in building this road.

On the one hand, it is thinking about Zhang and his party's help to everyone in the past.

On the other hand, I think that now people often come to play in the village, whether it is farmhouse entertainment or playing in the big river to escape the heat.

But there are too few places in the village for everyone to visit. Now that the Taoist temple has been rebuilt, after this road is repaired, people will have another place to go when they come again in the future. It is also good to go to burn incense. .

Time passed in a flash, and Dongyue soon bottomed out.

On the 26th day of the winter month in the lunar calendar, Zhou Yang's family got busy.

Just after lunch at noon, Zhou Yang and his father came to invite someone with wine.

Because on the 28th of Dongyue, it was the day when he brought his wife in.

Although 28 is considered to be the official table, but usually guests will start to visit at 27.

So the day before, the host family will start to get busy.

Although Zhang An was not very busy when he got married, Zhang Jianguo and Zhang An went door-to-door to invite people before they got married.

When setting up a banquet in the village, the first thing to invite is the chef who is in charge of the back kitchen. After all, it is not a trivial matter to be in charge of eating for so many people.

After hiring someone, you have to discuss with them, what to do, what you have at home, and what you need to buy.

Originally, Zhou Yang himself was a cook, but this time he got married by himself, so he couldn't let him copy it for himself.

So this time their family invited Zhang Jianzhong to be in charge of the back kitchen, and their family was responsible for hiring others who were lacking.

In addition, the village head and uncle are indispensable. No matter who is hosting the banquet in the village, the old village head is indispensable.

Because he is needed to help manage affairs, after all, the whole village is selling his face, and there will be no annoying things in the middle.

In addition, the reception desk and the people who welcome relatives should also focus on inviting them.

It is an unwritten rule that the village accountant will usually come to help at the reception desk.

The key point is the team to welcome the relatives. Who and how many people to invite need to be considered by the host family.

Zhou Yang's marriage this time is not like Zhang An's last time, when a few people drive over and follow the rules with the woman, they can easily pick up the new wife.

Because Chen Wenwen's family is not a Han nationality, the man's family used to welcome relatives, so they need to respect other people's customs.

The Miao family married a daughter. After the new daughter-in-law went out, the uncle needed to carry the new daughter-in-law home all the way.

Because you usually have to set off before dawn to send off your relatives, so you need the help of golden boys and girls to help illuminate.

The torch used for lighting is the sunflower pole at home, tied with a red thread, and after being lit, it is held by the golden boy and jade girl who has been found to illuminate in front.

Everyone in the back will also light a torch to illuminate all the way behind.

When picking up the relatives, the more people who help to illuminate, the more magnificent the family is.

That's what I said, but usually the groom pushes a cart by himself, and when the conditions are good, the family drives a carriage to take the young couple back home.

After arriving at the entrance of the village, the man will carry the new wife back home by himself.

If the distance is too far, there must be a minibus in the middle.

There is no need to be in a hurry to pick up the relatives at Zhou Yang's house. After all, the two families are not far apart, and they will arrive within a short walk.

Because Zhang An just got married not long ago, and now many people are resting at home.

So it didn't take much time for Zhou Yang and his son to invite people.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yang and Zhang Jianzhong talked together and quickly decided what to buy.

Zhou Yang's father didn't need to worry about these things, because Zhou Yang often copied these things for others.

It was also easy to find candidates for grocery shopping. Huang Ming and Zhang Ping were in charge. After all, they were in charge when Zhang An got married last time.

For them, it is not a problem to do this with ease.

After everything was arranged, the rest had nothing to do with Zhou Yang.

It made it look like everyone else was busy, but he seemed like a normal person, walking here and there from time to time, and finally waiting for the time to take someone to the woman's house to pick up the bride.

　I haven't coded for a long time, and the state is ridiculously poor, so please bear with me.
