Chapter 14 Concocting medicinal materials
Wu Cong laughed awkwardly and said, "Doctor Du, this..., what should we do?"

Du Wenhao said angrily: "What else can I do? Take Dieda Wine, and I need to teach you."

"Hey!" Wu Cong hurried back to the counter, hugged a small jar, slurped half a bowl, took it back, poured the medicinal wine into the palm of his hand and rubbed it for the middle-aged man to wipe and massage the bruised shoulder.

The middle-aged man shook his head, feeling that there was nothing serious about it, and was very happy. Looking at Du Wenhao, he praised Du Wenhao without saying a word: "Doctor, your medical skills are really good! Sure enough, within half an hour, you really gave me this neck. It’s cured, Ji Shitang’s quack doctors are far behind, and the medicine prescribed makes the convulsions worse, you are the real miracle doctor!”

"Where."

The middle-aged man took out the money bag from his pocket, took out a sling of copper coins and handed it to Du Wenhao: "Here, may I ask the doctor's name?"

Yingzi on the side smiled triumphantly: "This is the newly hired doctor in Wuweitang, Doctor Du Wenhao."

"Oh, so it's Dr. Du! I'm Xia Xu Liang, working as a clerk in the yamen signing room." The middle-aged man shook his head again, his neck was already moving freely, and the fever on his body has subsided a lot, "Dare to ask the doctor?" , what is going on with my neck?"

"It's very simple, what you have is not a fever syndrome, but neck and shoulder muscle spasms.

You are a clerk in the yamen, copying and writing all day long, and the neck and shoulder muscles have been tense for many years, which caused the neck and shoulder muscle spasms.

Although massage and massage can relieve the tension of the shoulder and neck muscles, this relief is temporary. Moreover, the entire shoulder and neck spasm has not been fundamentally relieved, so the left side is fine and the right side is wrong.

I used cinnamon twig and kudzu root soup. These two herbs plus peony are good for relieving spasms in the neck and shoulder muscles.

Then use Achyranthes knuckles to nourish blood and dredge collaterals, and your shoulder and neck muscle spasms will naturally be relieved.

I have treated many people with your disease, so I am sure.hehe"

Neck and shoulder muscle tension syndrome and cervical spondylosis are common and frequently-occurring diseases in modern society, especially after the advent of computers, people who use computers for a long time are most prone to this disease.

Du Wenhao used to meet many patients like this in his uncle's traditional Chinese medicine shop, so he knows the treatment of this disease very well.

Xu Liang suddenly said: "So that's the case. I thought you were talking big. You are so skilled in medicine. I will tell the brothers in the yamen when I go back, so that all sick people will come to your Wuweitang to see you. !"

"Thank you! Thank you very much. Let me advise you. People who do desk work like you are middle-aged again. They should pay special attention to rest. After sitting for a long time, they should get up and move their necks and limbs, especially their shoulders and necks. "

"Okay! Thank you doctor for your advice."

Wu Cong massaged for a while, the blood dissipated a little, and poured another small bottle of Diada wine to Xu Liang, Xu Liang took it, gave him a sideways look, turned his head and bowed his hands to Du Wenhao gratefully, and then walked away shaking his head up.

At this time, Lin Qingdai came out from the backyard, and the servant girl Yingzi rushed forward: "Madam, just now Doctor Du showed his might and cured a patient with neck cramps that Jishitang hadn't cured, which greatly showed our Wuweitang's face Woolen cloth!"

Lin Qingdai's frowning brows slightly opened, and she glanced at Du Wenhao. It's nothing if this minor illness can be cured. If a sitting doctor can't look down on a patient with neck cramps, then this doctor is too bad.

So Lin Qingdai didn't pay much attention to this matter.

After looking through the ledger, I saw that the whole day was just this one patient, so I couldn't help but sighed.

Until the first watch in the evening, the sky was already dark, and there was still no patient, so Lin Qingdai had to let the fat man close the door to eat.

After dinner, Du Wenhao came to the upper room of the "Hengxiang Inn" opposite Pangxian Wei's concubine.The lights in the room have been turned on, and the dim lights are flickering, and there are many people.

Beside the sick bed, County Captain Pang Xianwei was sitting on a stool, looking at his concubine Yu'er who was still unknown, looking devastated.

On the chairs by the window sat Pang's mother, Mrs. Liu and her four daughters.

Xue Fei'er and two maids were putting a wet towel on Yu'er's forehead to burn.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Lieutenant Pang turned his head to see Du Wenhao, with a look of surprise on his face, he stood up and cupped his hands: "Doctor Du is here."

"Well, how is Second Grandma's condition?"

Pang Xianwei said sadly: "Still unconscious."

Du Wenhao walked to the bedside stool and sat down, put three fingers on Yu'er's slender wrist, and took the pulse with concentration.

Seeing that the pulse was still counting down, she looked at her forehead, which was dripping with cold sweat, with a strong fever, and looked at her pupils, fortunately, there was no sign of dilation.

Listen to the sound of breathing, although it is still low, but it has not stopped, and I feel at ease.

He took out the golden needle, wiped and disinfected it with a cotton ball dipped in liquid medicine, and then pierced it into Mistress's water ditch, Dazhui, Fengchi, Suliao and other acupoints.

Twist the needle for a while to keep the needle, take out the moxa stick, and moxibustion Hegu, Rangu, Dazhui, Shenque, Qihai, Guanyuan and other points.

Gradually, Second Grandma's fever dropped slightly, her breathing became more balanced, and the cold sweat on her forehead also subsided a lot.

Du Wenhao said: "I have used acupuncture to clear away the heat and rejuvenate my second grandmother, strengthen the surface and stop sweating, strengthen the Yang and strengthen the body, remember to take the medicine according to the doctor's advice at night, and see if I can survive until tomorrow morning. If I can survive until tomorrow morning, then forget it." I've passed the first level. I'll come back then."

"It's so hard work!" Captain Pang said, cupping his hands.

Mother Pang didn't say anything up to this point, she just sat there, rolling her dull eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Du Wenhao said goodbye and went out, went straight to the backyard of the inn, and found the child with sores on his butt last night, who was crawling around on the bed, having fun by himself.

Children are like this, as long as they recover from their illness and become energetic, they will show it immediately and become lively.

Seeing Du Wenhao coming in, the woman hurriedly got up and saluted: "Dr. Du, you are here."

"Well, how is the child?"

"much better."

"Let me see and change his medicine once."

Du Wenhao checked the wound on the child's buttocks, and the healing was good, so he took a drainage strip, washed the wound again with light salt water, told the wound to keep dry, and continued to take medicine. If there is no suppuration the next morning, it means boils has been cured.

The woman thanked repeatedly.

When Du Wenhao returned to the "Five Flavors Hall", it was already the second watch.

The shop was tidy and tidied up, and the door was opened by the servant girl Yingzi.

The sound of cutting and clanging medicine came from the backyard.This voice was so familiar to Du Wenhao. As long as he could remember when he was a child, he would watch the staff concoct herbs in his uncle's Chinese medicine shop.

Walking through the lobby to the backyard, surrounded by dancing lanterns, Sha Pang was cutting medicinal materials with a guillotine, while Wu Cong was frying medicinal materials with pot moxibustion in the pergola.Lin Qingdai and the maid Yingzi were helping, cleaning and sorting the medicinal materials.

When Lin Qingdai saw that Du Wenhao was back, she didn't ask about the second grandma's condition, but just smiled and continued to work.

Du Wenhao didn't speak, took a low bench and sat next to Shapang, took an antelope horn that needed to be processed, and used a pound knife to pound the slices.

While pounding, he looked at the antelope horn and thought, this thing is in the pharmacy of modern society, but it can't be seen.

Ancient times are also good in ancient times. There is no problem of protecting animals. When will you kill two first-class protected animals to try something new.

Silly Fatty said to Du Wenhao: "Doctor Du, judging by your skillful movements, you must have worked as a pharmacist before."

Du Wenhao smiled, glanced at the medicinal materials in silly fat's hand, and said with a smile: "Silly fat, your Atractylodes macrophylla is cut too thin, it's not easy to use!"

Silly Pang wondered: "Is it thin?"

Du Wenhao picked up a small piece: "Yes, Atractylodes macrocephala can strengthen qi, invigorate the spleen and relieve diarrhea. When frying, it should be scorched, that is, the surface of the medicine will be browned, and the inside will be light yellow. If you slice it too thin, the fried It is not easy to control when it is cooked, and it is easy to burn the whole, which cannot meet the medicinal requirements.”

Sha Pang scratched his head and said with a smirk, "That's it, then I'll cut it thicker."

Wu Cong was frying medicinal herbs. Hearing what they said, he smiled and said, "Dr. Du, come and see how I'm doing the frying?"

"Well," Du Wenhao walked over to take a look, frowned and said, "Wu Cong, what are you talking about?"

"Honey Moxibustion Lily, you don't know about it, do you?" Wu Cong felt a little proud of being able to make it difficult for the sitting doctor.

Du Wenhao sneered and laughed: "The scales of the lily are thick and fleshy. If you fry it twice like this, the honey is only on the surface of the lily and cannot enter the inside. How can we enhance the effect of nourishing the lungs and relieving cough?"

"We've always practiced honey moxibustion like this, no one is wrong."

"I'm telling you now as a sitting doctor, honey moxibustion like this is not good for you, and you can't achieve the effect of honey moxibustion."

Wu Cong turned his head and glanced at Lin Qingdai.Lin Qingdai heard them talking, walked over, and asked, "In my opinion, how should honey moxibustion be done?"

"The honey steaming method should be used instead."

"Honey steaming method?"

"Yes, first dilute the refined honey with boiling water, import the lily, stir it evenly and let it simmer for a while, then steam it in a steamer until the honey is sucked dry, so that the honey can enter the medicinal materials, and the efficacy will be doubled!"
