Chapter 18 Wine Was Actually a Medicinal Material

While talking, Chu Jiu remembered what he had just seen, so he continued: "I just walked around the backyard and saw some empty jars by the wall. I think our Jishitang has rented a restaurant. If there is no one around the empty jars If we want, we can also save some pot money, and don’t worry if the smell of wine is still there, some medicines are really not afraid of this, so add more to make medicinal wine, which can also cure diseases and is convenient for storage.”

Cang Yuhe nodded again, thinking that the child looked carefully, "Those jars are not used by anyone, but at first they found it troublesome to throw them out, and there was nowhere to throw them away, so they piled them up there, a little afraid that they had been weathered. Later let them pick and choose some strong ones. In addition, the medicinal wine is a good idea, but how do you brew it?"

Chu Jiu remembered that he had never seen medicinal wine appearing in Ji Shitang, so his heart beat violently.

"But it's okay to say." Cang Yuhe smiled, and stretched out his hand fondly to touch the top of her head.

"Well." Chu Jiu didn't hesitate anymore, "Everyone in the world thinks that alcohol is a waste of time. Whenever someone takes medicine, they have to be told repeatedly not to drink alcohol. They don't know that as long as they are used in moderation, alcohol is also a kind of medicine."

"Is there still such a saying?" Cang Yuhe looked at her, and the two talked about the medicinal properties from the storage of medicinal materials, to the preparation of medicinal wine.

"Well, wine is the air of water and grain. It tastes pungent, sweet, hot in nature, and has a mellow smell. It can enter the heart and liver meridian, and has the characteristics of ascending and diverging. Taking some medicinal materials with wine can help The pungent and hot nature can alleviate the cold nature of the medicine, and can also adjust the nature and flavor of the medicinal materials. The most important thing is that the wine also has the property of elevating, which can lead the medicine upward, so that the medicine can quickly reach the meridians of the whole body, so as to enhance blood circulation and collaterals. , expelling wind and cold, dredging blood vessels, playing the role of dispersing blood stasis, applying medicine, resisting cold, eliminating cold accumulation, and correcting odor and taste."

"According to your words, the world really misunderstood wine." Hearing Chu Jiu's words, Cang Yuhe couldn't help boiling physically and mentally. If wine is really as good as this child said, there will be more medicinal herbs in the world.

"It's not a misunderstanding to say that there is no misunderstanding. After all, alcohol is easily addictive, and it is true that drinking too much can hurt the body. It's just that sometimes it can have excellent effects when used in an appropriate amount. For example, although Danshen has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, its taste is bitter and cold. Human blood coagulates when it is cold, and it moves when it is warm. Therefore, Danshen is taken with warm wine, or soaked in wine before taking it. With the help of the hot nature of wine, it can enhance the effect of Danshen on dispelling stasis, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and dredging menstruation. For another example, rheumatism-dispelling and pain-relieving medicines such as Chuanxiong, Angelica, Clematis, Achyranthes bidentata, etc., if taken with warm wine, can take advantage of the pungent and scavenging power of the wine, so that the medicine can reach directly Infirmary, the curative effect will be exerted faster." Chu Jiuyue said more and more excited, eager to try.

It is indeed a good way to extract medicinal materials by decoction, but it also depends on the physical and chemical properties of the medicine. Most medicines are suitable for decoction, but some medicinal materials are different. Sometimes when there are many fat-soluble ingredients in the prescription, adding a small amount of white wine can help Dissolution of active ingredients.

People with yang-heat physique are suitable for drinking wine with yin deficiency, that is, cool wine soaked with cool herbs, while people with yin-deficiency physique are suitable for drinking wine with yang heat, that is, hot wine soaked with hot herbs. The harmony of cold and heat can nourish the body the goal of.

A lot of tonics are soaked in the wine, and the effect is excellent. If you can seriously concoct the wine, it will be a good way.

"It's rare that you have the heart. I will let Yi Jianxi buy the wine, and you will get the medicinal materials from Jishitang."

"Hmm." Chu Jiu nodded.

Seeing that Xi Ting was confused, seeing that his master obviously understood, he smiled and moved towards his master, hoping that the master could explain it to him.

Cang Yukazu did explain it to him, and then asked him to go to the front, and called for a few to build up the windows and the skylight on one side first, this is the top priority, and he will send all the medicine away in the next day , the cellar will be fine later on.

Afterwards, Cang Yuhe went back to the front hall for consultation, and Chu Jiu was busy in the backyard.

"Sheng Chuanwu, Shengcaowu, double-faced needle, camphor, rhubarb, borneol, asarum, sappan... did something fall?" Chu Jiu was choosing the medicinal materials for Diedajiu, and she was thinking about it with her predecessor. To get those tonics, it is better to start with the most practical ones, and when you hear the sound of footsteps, you look back, only to see that the person who came was not the returning Cang Yuhe, but Sanqizi with a dark complexion.

How did he come to the backyard?Chu Jiu frowned slightly and asked, "What medicine are you looking for?"

Sanqizi didn't reply, just looked at her.

"Relieve the appearance? Clear heat? Calm the nerves?" Chu Jiu asked tentatively, seeing that Sanqizi still had no intention of speaking, he said again: "The heavy medicine is in the room, and the hair medicine that has not been dried is in the pavilion. It is properly processed. In the back room, if you want anything, just take it yourself."

Sanqizi frowned, but still didn't intend to speak up, so Chu Jiu didn't continue to ask, but said in a general way: "If it's not there, I'll get the fresh ones there, but if the fresh ones are good, I'll buy them." It’s just that if you want to put it in the medicine, it will be somewhat troublesome.” At least when adding water to cook, it’s difficult to control.

"I'm not here to get medicine."

"Oh?" Seeing that he was finally willing to speak, Chu Jiu stopped the movements of his hands and looked up at him. "Since it's not for taking medicine, don't waste time here, Ji Shi Tang is not manned enough."

This tone was meant to blame, although she also knew that this son was not a serious apprentice, but he was so busy in front of him, but this man was looking for her here, I don't know if it was because of those sons and daughters who fell in love again , She really has no leisure for him.

"It's just you and me here, don't pretend anymore, I don't believe what they said, you don't remember anything." Sanqizi gritted his teeth, but Chu Jiu's tone was still flat.

"Believe it or not, it's your business, and I have nothing to do with it." Chu Jiu lowered his head and put together the raw materials of Dieda wine he found out, then picked up a few plants of Sanqi hair medicine, and picked it up, click Cut off with a sound.

This Nanzhou is really a treasure land. It is not reasonable for Sanqi to grow here. In fact, it is not only Panax notoginseng, but also a lot of medicinal materials. According to her impression, the climate here is also a bit unbelievable, but those Mao The medicines are all fresh, and those hunters have no reason to run very far to collect other people's hair medicines and sell them to Jishitang. After thinking about it, she is really curious whether the climate in Nanzhou is what she saw. In this way, it is still said that the climate on the mountain is unique.

Maybe, she has to consider going up the mountain.

Chujiu thought about it, seeing that she didn't speak, Sanqizi thought she had acquiesced, and bullied her.
