The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 446 Old Man Ge (1)
Since when did Shouwu become such a sky-high price?
Both Hua Ying and Huang Li looked at Leng Ping in surprise, their faces full of disbelief.

"Miss Leng, don't you know Mr. Ge?" Huang Li asked in disbelief.

"Is Mr. Ge very powerful? Should I know?" Leng Ping raised her eyebrows indifferently. The news of this dynasty is so closed, she doesn't even know who the emperor is, so naturally she doesn't know who this Mr. Ge is!

"Miss Leng, there is no one in the Xinglin world who doesn't know Mr. Ge's name!" Huang Li shook his head and said, as if he couldn't believe it, "You really don't know?"

"I really don't know!" Leng Ping sighed, "Is he a famous doctor? More famous than a family of famous doctors?"

Thanks to Liu Yingfeng's blessing, Leng Ping knew about the existence of a family of famous doctors, otherwise she wouldn't even know about the family of famous doctors!
Huang Li looked at Huaying again, and Huaying also had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Ge Lao has a great connection with the family of famous doctors, but Ge Lao is not a doctor, but a master of pharmacy!" Huaying said slowly, "Ge Lao used to be the queen pharmacist of a famous doctor's family, but unfortunately, since 30 years A few years ago, Elder Ge and the family of famous doctors parted ways, and since then, the family of famous doctors has lost its reputation and plummeted!"

Leng Ping was taken aback, "A family of famous doctors is a family of medical skills, not a medicine shop. Without a master pharmacist, how could it have such a big impact?"

Hua Ying said with a smile: "Miss Leng is proficient in both medical skills and pharmacy, so naturally it doesn't matter, but there are few people in this world who are proficient in both medical skills and pharmacy like Miss Leng. To be precise, this medical skill and pharmacy are basically the same. Two different jobs!"

Leng Ping admits this. In modern hospitals, doctors and pharmacists are also separated. It's just that Leng Ping has been exiled from various departments, and even stayed in the pharmacy for a while. At that time, she felt it was a great shame. Looking at it now, I have to thank those days, because of those days, Leng Ping became an all-round doctor.

"Do you know Gu Lao, a famous doctor in this city?" Huaying asked.

Leng Ping sneered and said, "Of course I know Dr. Gu from Siping Pharmacy, but I'm afraid I can't afford to be called that famous doctor, right?"

Huaying shook her head and said, "Miss Leng's words are wrong. Gu Lao has been practicing medicine for 30 years. His ancestors were once a wealthy family in Licheng and opened a Gu's medical clinic. When Gu Lao was young, he also worked with Mr. Liu, a famous doctor family, in Tiancheng. He used to be an imperial physician, but he was beaten back to his hometown because he offended the powerful. After returning to his hometown, Mr. Gu also cured many difficult and miscellaneous diseases, especially when smallpox was rampant 15 years ago, Mr. Gu tried the medicine by himself, and he was called Xinglin He is a role model in the world, but later he was controlled by Xia Liming because of his unbelievable son, and Gu Lao's reputation was ruined by the fake and inferior medicine in the Siping pharmacy!"

Leng Ping was taken aback, but she didn't expect that old man Gu had such a background, but what Huaying said was right, no matter how good old man Gu's medical skills are, if the medicine is not effective, it is useless, just like the former Mrs. Ruan, who clearly What the doctor saw was all right, but it didn't get better for a long time, because Yu Li had tampered with the medicine.

Ordinary doctors can only see patients, not medicines. If a patient cannot be cured, they will first consider whether they are not diagnosed with symptoms, and finally think about medicinal materials!
"From Master Hua's words, this medicinal material is indeed very important!" Leng Ping nodded.

"It's not just the key, it should be the big one. That's why Ge Lao's medicinal materials are so precious, because the medicinal materials he concocted are more than four or five times more effective than ordinary concocted medicinal materials, so All major medicine shops are willing to pay a high price for Ge Lao’s medicinal materials!" Huang Li touched the Shouwu and said, "You seem to use raw Polygonum multiflorum, remove impurities and divide it into grades, soak six to twelve. For an hour, wash it, pick it up, split the big one, pour water in the middle, moisten it thoroughly, put it in a steamer, steam it for four hours a day, then stew it overnight, turn it up and down the next morning, and steam it again, repeat this way for four hours. Stew for four nights, until the inside and outside are moist and black. Take it out, sun it to half-dry, cut into thin slices, mix the original juice obtained during steaming, make it fully absorbed, dry, and sieve off the dust. , there is a time difference of six hours, how to judge the heat requires the skills of a master pharmacist, and when it is steaming, whether to count the time from the start of SAIC or from the time of putting it into the pot is a problem, Mr. Ge Making Shouwu is to maximize the curative effect of making Shouwu, let alone ten golden leaves, even if you want fifteen pieces, people will grab them!"

Huaying nodded and said: "Indeed, especially in recent years, Elder Ge has rarely made medicines, and no one knows his whereabouts at all, so his medicinal materials are extremely precious!"

Leng Ping suddenly realized that there are such people in the pharmaceutical industry, if her crude drugs can also have such a reputation...

On the way back, Leng Ping kept thinking about the elder Ge that Huaying said, if there is a chance, she must meet him!
In the medical hall, old man Ge was showing off his new research results to Mu Wu.

"Mu Wu, come and have a look!" Old man Ge waved his hand, "Look at these two piles of red flowers, which ones are fake and which ones are real?"

Mu Wu didn't bother to talk to him, just said: "Go, take it farther away, what if you take it by mistake?"

The old man Ge didn't care about Mu Wu's attitude, he laughed haha, "So you also admit that my fake medicine is fake?"

Mu Wu glared at him, "It's because the fake medicine you made is too similar, so I have to be on guard against you all the time!"

Mu Wen stepped forward and said, "Mu Wu, how can you be disrespectful to the shopkeeper? Since Miss believes in the shopkeeper, we should also believe it!"

Mu Wu had no choice but to lower his head, said nothing, and stepped aside.

"It's okay, it's because Mu Wu is angry because he can't recognize it, Mu Wen, come and recognize him!" Old man Ge waved his hand carelessly, and greeted Mu Wen again.

Mu Wen stepped forward steadily, carefully looked at the two piles of red flowers for a long time, then shook his head and said, "It's really hard to tell the difference!"

"You can't see it with the naked eye, you'll know it once you soak it in water!" Leng Ping's voice sounded at the door.

Frustration immediately appeared on Old Man Ge's face, "You know?"

Leng Ping couldn't help laughing. It is indeed difficult to distinguish the fake medicine made by old man Ge, but just because she knew that the medicine he made was fake medicine, she tried every means to distinguish it. out!
"Soak? How to soak?" Mu Wen was still puzzled.

Leng Ping stepped forward with a smile, looked carefully and then asked Ge Laodao: "Are you corn silk or chrysanthemum?"

"Huh? Can chrysanthemums pass off as saffron? Haha, try it next time, little old man!" Old Man Ge clapped his hands.

Leng Ping couldn't help but have black lines all over her face. On the way back, she also thought, this old man Ge is also surnamed Ge, could it be the mysterious old Ge that Huaying said? It's possible!How could such a master pharmacist become a counterfeit drug dealer!
