Medical Immortals come from the future

Chapter 46
Fortunately, Sima Qing is not a road idiot, she can't get out of the mountains, this kind of uncomplicated garden, can she still get out?
When we returned to the "main venue", the most important round of exhibitions was already underway.

Grandpa Gu and senior brothers and sisters were very worried about her, so she ran out like this, and it took more than an hour to go, in this unfamiliar place, and it was already dark, what should I do if something happened?Seventh Senior Sister said that Master almost gave up the competition and went out to find someone.

Seeing the somewhat angry face of Grandpa Guzhu, Sima Qing hurriedly made amends, and finally made a cute granddaughter's signature smile, which turned the old man from cloudy to sunny.

Fortunately, Sima Qing didn't delay. If Grandpa Gu gave up the competition because of herself, then she would be guilty of a serious crime.

A total of 58 companies signed up for the competition this time. After the first round, [-] companies were eliminated, and only [-] companies entered the final round of exhibition.

Each contestant has a wooden card drawn to participate in the competition. The wooden card is the entry number. For example, if your family is No. 20, it will be the first "Yaozhen" to show off your family. It is No. [-], so It should be arranged after nineteen families.

Generally, in this kind of competition, of course, the person who plays at the front is the better, because there is no contrast object, or there are few contrast objects, so it will naturally make a deeper impression on others. Was compared.

Unfortunately, Sacred Heart Valley drew the last number - forty.

However, things always have two sides. For others, being the last to appear may become a joke of anticlimax.But for Sima Qing and the others, it might be a perfect finale~~!

It depends - the brilliance of the entries.

At present, the eighth house has been displayed.

I saw that the original pavilion with a woman playing the piano has now become a "display stand". Of course, the so-called "display stand" is just a very simple large table with octagonal rosewood peony embossed patterns. A pot of evergreen stone bonsai with emerald leaves and jade branches is used as a decoration, which looks very high-end and atmospheric.

For each contestant whose turn is numbered, a representative goes up with his own treasure box containing "treasures of medicine", opens the box, and formally takes out the entries to display in front of everyone.

Before that, no one knew what you brought to the competition this time, unless you took the initiative to tell others.But I believe no one is so stupid.

Then, who should judge whether these "medicinal treasures" are good or bad, true or false, and who will win in the end?

In fact, most of these people present are from Xinglin, how many of them don't know how to identify medicine?Among them, there are many experienced doctors and experts in medicine. If there are truly outstanding treasures in medicine, everyone can make their own judgments.But since they are all contestants, for the sake of fairness, three judges will be invited to sit.

These few judges are definitely authoritative figures, for example, among the three this time, one is a suggestion from the Imperial Hospital - Zeng Pin.This "prompt" is said to be the highest officer of the imperial hospital at that time, with an official position of five ranks, with envoys, deputy envoys, and judges under his command.

There is also a legendary folk doctor known as "ghost doctor" - Cuckoo, and the other is the largest medicine merchant in Wangcheng - Shen Nian.

The three of them will identify and taste all the participating works, and then give a score. Each person's highest score is ten, and the last three will add up, and the one with the highest score will naturally be the drug king of this year!
The eighth family is a sect in Lie Sun City - Yingshengmen. It is said that the foundation of their founding sect is: deliver babies!Every mistake is the "delivery" that gives birth to a pregnant woman.

When Sima Qing first heard this, she thought it was embarrassing, but after thinking about it, isn't this just like those pediatric hospitals?It is mainly engaged in the delivery of pregnant women, newborn care, and pediatric diseases... It seems that this Yingshengmen is the originator of those pediatric hospitals in the future world?

Then this Yingshengmen didn't go to deliver the pregnant women properly, so what kind of medicine king contest did they come here for?

Cough cough, don't look down on him so much, even though he is a midwife, he is also a big sect, so why not allow him to get "Yao Zhen" to participate in the competition?
A representative of the Yingsheng sect is a middle-aged woman with an average figure and wrapped in brocade, but her behavior can be regarded as elegant. It can be seen that the "official position" in the sect should not be small.

She spoke a few words calmly, and then opened an ebony crabapple box on the table that was square and about the size of two adult palms. As soon as the lid was lifted, a fresh fragrance wafted out. Although the smell was fragrant, But very light.

But who are those present?If the nose is not working well, it is impossible to be a doctor.

"Hey, what could this smell be?"

"There are very few natural medicines that emit this fragrance. It must not be a natural thing."

Everyone speculated.

The people at the table in Sacred Heart Valley were also guessing whether it was Sima Yinglong who had the most experience.

"This product has a slightly fragrant and slightly fishy smell. If you guess correctly, it should be an ugly treasure."

Sure enough, the woman took the things out of the box and showed them to everyone.

The thing is spherical in shape, with a diameter of 2 to 5 centimeters. The surface is yellow to brown, with small roughness and cracks. If you look closely, there is a layer of black shiny film hanging on it, which is commonly called "Wujinyi".

This thing is not good-looking, it can even be said that it is ugly.

However, in the pharmaceutical industry, it is indeed a good thing, it is ugly treasure.

What is an ugly treasure?
Ugly treasure is commonly known as "bezoar" in later generations.

Bezoar is the gallbladder, bile duct, and bile duct stones of bovine cattle or buffalo.Most of them are taken from the gallbladder, which is round in shape, and the commercial products are called "biliary yolk" or "egg yolk"; those taken from the bile duct and liver duct are tubular, called "tube yolk".

Bezoar, a medicine, was first recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and listed as top grade. "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Many people today get it in the gallbladder. One son is as big as chicken yellow, overlapping. The most expensive medicine is more expensive than this." Mouth shut; grown-ups are insane. There are abortions." "Compendium of Materia Medica": "The acne is purple, and it can be used by those who go crazy and delirium."

Its gas is delicate and fragrant, bitter in taste and then sweet, with a cool feeling, easy to chew, and not sticky to the teeth.

When everyone saw the bezoar on the woman's hand, their eyes widened. They were amazed at the size of the bezoar without talking about anything else!It is as big as the length and width of a woman's combined hands. You must know that the bigger the bezoar, the rarer it is. If such a big bezoar is natural and not artificial, then this thing is very valuable!

However, is it possible for such a large bezoar to be pure natural?You must know that this thing is a stone. It grows from the gallbladder and bile duct of a cow. How big is the cow that can grow such a large and complete stone?
The three judges immediately stepped forward and carefully inspected the treasure under the very bright lights.

There are two types of bezoar, one is light and brittle, and it is easy to break.The cross-section is brown or golden yellow, with different shades and luster, and there are neatly arranged ring-shaped layer patterns, overlapping one another.The air is fragrant, the taste is slightly bitter at first, and then slightly sweet.

This is for gallbladder.

There is another kind, which is tubular or broken small pieces, with uneven or transverse lines on the surface.The surface is reddish brown or tan, not smooth, with cracks and small protrusions.There are also few layers in the cross-section, and there are many gaps in the inner part, and the color is darker.

This is called tube yellow.

With the consent of the participating women, the three judges took a small knife and scraped off a little bit of powder from the corner of the bezoar. Each of them put a little bit of powder into their mouths. Melt slowly.I took a little more, mixed it with clear water, and applied it on the nails. As a result, their nails were dyed yellow, which did not fade after a long time. It is commonly called "penetrating nails" or "hanging nails".

"This is gallbladder!" The ghost doctor Cuckoo first concluded.

"That's right! Choubao is divided into bile yellow and tube yellow. Among them, the surface is smooth and delicate, the texture is light and crisp, the cross-section is thin and neat, there is no white film, the taste is bitter before sweet, and the fragrance is cool. Huang Wei is even better!" Shen Nian, the largest medicine supplier in Wangcheng, continued to say.

"Those judges, dare to ask, is this a natural ugly treasure or a synthetic one?"

"That's right, I don't really imagine that this is purely natural, it's too big."

Someone below questioned.

It is not wrong for them to have such doubts.

In fact, not only in later generations, but in that era, many medicines already had natural wild and
The difference between artificial planting and artificial synthesis.

As long as there are profit-driven things, they will actually happen in any era, it's just a question of whether there are more or less. Compared with later generations, such phenomena in this era will naturally be relatively less, but they still exist.

Such as bezoar, there are pure natural and artificial bezoar.

This kind of pure natural bezoar is found in the gallbladder, bile duct and hepatic duct of the cow when the cattle are slaughtered. They are immediately cut open and taken out, and the attached meat membranes are removed. Wrap it well, put it on items with strong water absorption such as calcined oysters or pine pollen, and dry it in a cool place.

And that kind of artificial bezoar is just extracting ox bile or pig bile and making it artificially.

The medicinal value is absolutely different.

"It's not difficult to tell the difference." Zeng Pin, the director of the imperial hospital, said, "Although there is not much difference in appearance between natural bezoar and artificial bezoar, we are all experienced people, so how can we escape our eyes? Artificial bezoar Most of bezoar is in powder form, and some are made into irregular spherical or square shapes. Light brown or golden yellow, light in quality, and the aqueous solution can also dye nails yellow. The smell is slightly fragrant and slightly fishy, ​​and the taste is slightly sweet and bitter. No refreshing feeling!"

"The point I mentioned is really great. If you don't say it, the old man really doesn't understand the difference. I really learned it today!" Shen Nian, Master Shen said appreciatively.

It means everyone can hear it.
