Medical Immortals come from the future

Chapter 279
The woman was taken aback by her scolding, but she still pleaded guiltyly: "If they gave me the money readily, I would have taken him to see a doctor..."

"You mean, if you don't get the money today, you won't care about your son's life?" Sima Qing was furious.

"Uh... Anyway, I don't have money to see a doctor!" Anyway, I won't die if I have diarrhea!
"Okay, let this girl show the child first, and we'll talk about it later!" The proprietress in red couldn't stand it any longer, "Could it be that your son's life is really more important than that money?!"

Under the struggle of her own conscience and the "condemnation" of everyone's eyes, the woman finally gave in and said shortly: "Okay, show him! But if you can't explain why, it will delay my son's condition." , I can't spare you!"

Even though his son is a patient, he is still so arrogant!
Sima Qing was really speechless, but she didn't want to entangle her too much, so she immediately leaned over, knelt down beside the child, comforted him, checked his tongue and eyes, pressed several places on his abdomen, and finally He grabbed his hand and checked his pulse.

"What food did he eat at noon? Do you remember?"

Everyone who was still skeptical, after seeing Sima Qing's series of diagnosis methods similar to other doctors, believed it a little bit, but before they could react, they heard her ask such a question. question.

The proprietress in red was the first to react, and she replied straightforwardly and generously: "The dishes ordered by the guests of our restaurant that day are all recorded in the menu. I will let someone find it and see."

Soon, a younger brother brought a menu, and the lady in red dug out the record of the menu ordered by the two of them at the table at noon today, and handed it to Sima Qing.

Sima Qing looked at the menu, and then took a look at all the types of dishes that Deyuelou launched today, and the answer was clear in her heart.

"how?"

Seeing Sima Qing's smile, the proprietress in red asked nervously.

The people around also looked at her expectantly.

But Sima Qing didn't respond directly. She took out a bottle of medicine from a cloth bag she carried, unscrewed the bottle cap and poured out two small pink pills, saying: "This is a quick antidiarrheal medicine. Feed the child." Then she took out a cloth bag from the bag, opened it, and found her set of silver needles, "I'll give her another acupuncture, and she will be fine soon, just a small problem."

"Are you also good at acupuncture?" asked the proprietress in red.

"That's right, if a doctor doesn't know acupuncture, is he still called a doctor?" Sima Qing asked strangely.

"Well, then there will be Miss Lao." The proprietress in red didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile.

"It's nothing, I should do it." Sima Qing felt that the proprietress seemed aggressive, but she should be a kind-hearted person.

At least compared to the woman who made trouble, such a thing should have been said by a mother like her!

Silently despised the child's mother again, and then began to inject needles on the child.

Although ordinary people here don't know much about acupuncture, after seeing her acupuncture movements, they instinctively feel that it can be described in one word, that is: skillful.

The crowd who were originally very skeptical suddenly became very curious about this unknown "female doctor". It is rare for a woman to be a doctor, and she has never heard of such a young female doctor. It looks like she is only [-] years old, and she still looks like such a beauty. It is a bit rare for a doctor.

The acupuncture and moxibustion lasted about a cup of tea. Not to mention, during this period, the child did not have any signs of diarrhea, and his face gradually became rosy. This is for the people of Xiao Yanchao who have relatively backward medical conditions and have never seen any miracle doctors. That said, it's definitely "miraculous".

Looking at the changes in her child, during this period, even that unreliable mother-in-law shut her mouth quietly.

After collecting the silver needle left on the last acupuncture point, Sima Qing heaved a sigh of relief, put the silver needle back into the cloth bag, stood up and said, "It should be fine, at most, I will prescribe two packs of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the stomach and intestines. will recover."

The unreliable mother-in-law immediately went over and asked her child a few words. Seeing that he was really much better, she first showed another relieved expression, and then frowned slightly.

"Although this girl cured his disease, this matter can't be left alone. Don't you say you can know the reason? Tell me."

The proprietress in red gave her a disdainful look, but she still asked Sima Qing curiously: "Girl, just tell me, is it really a problem with the food in my restaurant? If it is, we will definitely not If you evade responsibility, those who should be compensated will definitely be compensated.”

Sima Qing didn't want to be fooled anymore, so she picked up the menu again, pointed to the names of the dishes on it and asked, "Miss Boss, what do you think is wrong with your dishes?"

The proprietress in red took a look, and above are the dishes that the mother and son ordered for lunch today, they are:

Clear Soup with Eel and Spinach
Emerald Crystal Shrimp

Finely powdered vegetarian sticks

Sweet and Sour Crispy Fish

Braised Peanut Hairy Crab
"No problem." The proprietress in red said subconsciously.

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with the dish itself, the problem lies in the combination." Sima Qing said.

"Pair it up?"

"That's right. Madam Boss, are the dishes here the new ones you launched recently, or even the new ones you launched for the first time today?"

"How do you know?" The proprietress looked surprised.

"Actually, it's simple, because there is a problem with the combination of this dish. If it was there in the past, then maybe some diners had problems with it, just like this kid. And this kid ate this dish at noon today. This kind of situation just happened, which means that few people have eaten this dish." Sima Qing said.

But these words were heard by everyone with a half-knowledge.

The unreliable woman asked: "If you say that, it still proves that this is a problem with the food in their restaurant?"

Sima Qing smiled: "Yes, but it's not. Yes, it's because their dishes are not properly matched, which caused the child to have diarrhea after eating. No, it's not because there is a problem with their ingredients, that is, It’s not that their ingredients are not fresh or poisonous, so strictly speaking, the restaurant is just an unintentional mistake.”

"I don't know what's going on with the matching problem you mentioned?"

"That's right, is there any problem of improper matching between foods? I've never heard of it."

Facing their curiosity, Sima Qing was not surprised, and asked instead: "Have you ever heard of 'food is incompatible'?"

"Food is compatible?"

"That's right, food is incompatible. It means that there is an improper combination of food. The exact saying in ancient books is 'the opposite of food' or 'combined food taboo'." Sima Qing patiently explained, "In a certain dynasty, um, a very long time ago In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing, a great medical scientist, mentioned in his book "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" that there were 48 pairs of foods that should not be eaten together, such as crabs and persimmons, green onions and honey, soft-shelled turtles and amaranth, etc..."

These claims are not completely unreasonable. From the perspective of medical nutrition, there are more proteins in crabs, and there are also many tannins (astringent taste) in persimmons.

When the protein encounters tannic acid, it will solidify and become tannin protein, which is not easy to be digested by the body and makes food stay in the intestines for fermentation, followed by vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other similar food poisoning phenomena. The ancients made crab according to this phenomenon. Conclusion with persimmon.

The so-called mutual restraint of food is actually a kind of gastrointestinal adverse reaction symptom caused by mixing two or more foods with fearful and opposite traits.

"Indeed, it seems that persimmons and crabs have never been eaten together."

"However, besides diarrhea and other symptoms, are there other symptoms of food mutual restraint?"

Simple and large consumption of two foods with opposite properties may lead to three situations:

First, the antagonism of nutrients in the process of absorption and metabolism repels each other, so that one party hinders the absorption or retention of the other.Such as calcium and phosphorus, calcium and zinc, oxalic acid and iron.

Another example is that tofu should not be eaten with spinach, because spinach contains more oxalic acid, which is easy to combine with calcium in tofu to form insoluble calcium salts, which cannot be absorbed by the body, but there are no clinical symptoms.Of course, if you soak spinach in boiling water to destroy a large amount of oxalic acid, you can also use spinach to cook tofu, and it has become a famous home-cooked dish.

Second, in the process of digestion and absorption or metabolism, those who are not conducive to the decomposition and combination of the body and produce harmful substances or poisons, such as vitamin C or foods rich in vitamin C and river prawns, may cause the body of river prawns to lose weight. Originally non-toxic pentavalent arsenic is reduced to toxic trivalent arsenic, causing certain arsenic poisoning.

Thirdly, foods that are cold or warm, and that are both greasy or fire-dry are produced together in the body.If you eat a lot of foods that are cold and hot, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, it is more likely to cause adverse physiological reactions in the body.

After listening to Sima Qing's statements and theories about the mutual restraint of food, everyone present felt that it was fresh and strange.

"So what does the girl mean, there are dishes in our menu that cause food conflicts? May I ask which ones are they?" The proprietress in red asked impatiently.

Sima Qing pointed to the menu above: "The first and the last."

"Eel and spinach clear soup and braised peanut hairy crab?"

"That's right, eel tastes sweet and warm, has the effects of nourishing qi and nourishing blood, invigorating the spleen and kidney, nourishing qi and solidifying the membrane, removing blood stasis and dampness; while spinach is sweet and cold in nature, moistening the qi and moistening dryness, "Compendium of Materia Medica" says : 'Treat the intestines and stomach heat.' The nature, flavor and function of the two are not in harmony, and diarrhea symptoms will appear if they are eaten together."

"Peanuts are rich in oil, and hairy crabs are cold and sharp. Eating the two together will most likely cause diarrhea. What's more, if you eat both of these two dishes, the situation will naturally become more serious."

After listening to her words, everyone felt suddenly enlightened.
