Chapter 184： back again

Ying Bao looked at the medicine cabinets and saw medicine buckets with three names of medicines written horizontally on them.

Each medicine bucket has three compartments, and the pills inside correspond to the names of the medicines outside the medicine bucket.

Place commonly used tablets in the middle and upper layers of the bucket rack to facilitate weighing when dispensing. Such as angelica, white peony root and chuanxiong; astragalus, codonopsis licorice and so on.

Lighter tablets with smaller dosages are placed on the upper level of the bucket rack. Such as rose flowers, white plum blossoms, bergamot flowers, etc.

Place tablets with heavy texture, such as minerals, shellfish, and charcoal medicines that are easy to cause pollution, on the lower level of the shelf. Such as magnets, ocher and amethyst, keel, dragon teeth and oysters, etc.

Pharmaceuticals that are loosely soaked and used in large quantities are placed in the large medicine bucket at the bottom of the bucket rack.

Such as rushes and truncatula; reed roots and grass roots; artemisia and money grass; bamboo root, mint, mulberry leaves, lotus leaves, etc.

Yingbao checked the names of the medicines one by one. Li Xihua opened the medicine bucket and showed her the cut tablets inside.

Pills are different in size and shape. They are easy to identify at first glance, but in fact they are not.

So Yingbao also wanted to see the whole uncut medicinal plant.

“Is there any medicine that has not been cut?” she asked.

Li Xihua nodded: "Yes, they are all in the medicine warehouse. I will take you to see them tomorrow."

The next day, Yingbao officially started his apprenticeship.

She started to identify the medicines from the bottom of the medicine cabinet, smelling the smell one by one, identifying the color and shape, and then comparing them with the whole medicinal plant.

At the end of one day, she was familiar with more than twenty kinds of medicine.

When I compared it with the prescriptions I had learned, I already had some clarity in my mind.

But there are so many medicines here, hundreds or even thousands of them. If you want to recognize them all clearly and remember them all, you need repeated exposure and practice.

Because the summer harvest and farming have been busy recently, not many people come to the medicine hall for medical treatment and medicine. Li Xihua and his two brothers are free.

Only Yingbao still uses a homemade notebook and charcoal pen to record the names of medicinal materials.

To deepen the impression, she also used charcoal to draw the shape of the medicinal materials and wrote several suitable prescriptions next to them.

Li Langzhong came over and saw how diligent the little baby was. He couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling.

The senior brother wrote a letter asking him to take more care of the child and teach her how to practice medicine. He also said that she was very talented and would definitely have a great future.

As soon as he received the letter, Langzhong Li went to Jiang's house to pick up the baby. He did not expect that she would be so self-disciplined at such a young age, which was beyond his expectation.

“Yingbao, come here.” Mr. Li sat down on the chair, waved to Yingbao, and asked, “What medical books have you read?”

Ying Bao came to Li Langzhong and answered seriously: "I have read the Nei Jing, Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases, Shen Nong's Herbal Classic, as well as the Pulse Meridian and Qian Jin's Prescription."

Master said that these are the basic knowledge for studying medicine, and you must be able to memorize them and write them down from memory.

She has just read through all the books now, barely memorized a few volumes, and only written down a few prescriptions.

Li Langzhong nodded: "Yes, I'm going to test you now. Therefore, those who cure diseases must understand geography. Why do you understand this?"

Yingbao thought for a moment and suddenly realized.

Isn’t this just asking her to recite Su Wen’s Great Theory of Yin and Yang’s Corresponding Symbols? She can do it.

“The sky is not wide enough in the northwest, so there is yin in the northwest, and people’s right ears and eyes are not as bright as the left. The earth is not full in the southeast, so there is yang in the southeast, and people’s left hand and foot are not as strong as the right..."

Yingbao finished reciting it, then looked at Li Langzhong eagerly and asked, "Is it right?"

Li Langzhong smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will test you again..."

In this way, Yingbao was forced to memorize several paragraphs of Suwen content.

It wasn’t until a few people ran into the medicine hall to see Dr. Li that the random exam ended automatically.

“Mother, my son has been cut on his arm. Please show him quickly.”

The middle-aged man was supporting a young man whose left arm was cut by a sickle and was bleeding profusely.

Li Langzhong hurriedly came out of the counter to check the young man's injury, and took out medicinal wine and needle and thread from the medicine box brought by his grandson.

He first cleaned the wound with medicinal wine, then roasted the needle on the candlelight, put on catgut, and then sewed up the young man's wound himself. After he was sewn, he was sprinkled with a layer of medicine powder, and then he was wrapped tightly with a clean cloth strip from the medicine box.

“I’ll prescribe another pair of medicines to dispel decay and promote muscle growth. You go back and cook it for him to drink. Tomorrow, you can replace the wound medicine on his arm.”

Li Langzhong was at his desk writing the prescription, and then handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man shook his head and took the prescription and asked, "How much does it cost?"

Li Lin said: "There are eighty-five articles for external injuries and internal medicine."

"Ah? So many..." The middle-aged man was confused: "Mr. Zhong, I, I only brought thirty coins..."

Li Langzhong waved his hand and said to his grandson: "Give him some medicine."

Then he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "It's okay to pay back the fifty-five cents when you harvest the wheat."

The middle-aged man immediately saluted Li Langzhong and thanked him profusely: "Thank you, Li Langzhong. I will definitely send you the money after I harvest the wheat."

Ying Bao looked at the middle-aged man, then at Li Langzhong, and quietly asked Li Xihua: "Will he really send the money?"

Li Xihua also whispered: "Sometimes it will be delivered, sometimes not necessarily."

This kind of thing happens every few days, and she is used to it.

Ying Bao was thoughtful.

Apparently, the hanging pot hanging in the medicine hall and the plaque "Saving the World" are not false.

The days passed day by day with Yingbao identifying medicines and seeing patients.

Soon the summer harvest ended and the town began to become lively.

Several fat-bellied grain merchants set up scales and measuring buckets on both sides of the streets in the town and began to purchase summer grain.

Many villagers carried baskets of wheat and queued up to sell grain, and from time to time they had quarrels with grain merchants.

The reason is that grain merchants think that the grain is not dried or that there is a lot of sand in the grain, so they will lower the price.

The villagers believed that the grain merchants were deliberately lowering prices out of thin air, so they started to argue.

They were noisy and wanted to start fighting, so Xiangzhi came over to start a fight.

For a time, the crowds in the streets were noisy and blocked the roads. Several carriages were also blocked and it was difficult to move.

Ying Bao lay on the counter and looked outside for a while, and suddenly spotted a few familiar figures.

I saw Chen Changping and his wife Han getting out of a carriage. Han was holding a little baby in his hand.

Two girls also got out of another car, it was Chen Tiantian and Chen Zhao.

Not only that, Chen Laoshuan also came back, as did his old wife Feng Shi.

Chen Tiantian and Chen Zhao supported Feng, and they came straight to the medicine hall.

"Mr. Li!" Chen Laoshuan ran into the medicine hall in two steps and shouted to Mr. Li: "Hurry up and see my wife, she's vomiting badly!"

Li Langzhong stood up, looked outside, and said, "Help her sit down here, and I'll give her a diagnosis."

Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian helped Chen Feng sit down on the stool outside the counter, rolled up their sleeves and checked the doctor's pulse.

As soon as they raised their heads, they met Ying Bao's eyes.

"You..." Chen Zhao almost didn't recognize that this little girl wearing a blue robe turned out to be Ying Bao.

“Why are you here?” Chen Zhao couldn’t help asking.

Yingbao raised her eyebrows: "Be an apprentice."

At this time, Chen Changping and Han, who was holding a baby, also walked in.

Ying Bao casually glanced at the baby in Han's arms.

It seems that it has been several months, and his appearance is exactly the same as that of Chen Xu in his previous life.
