Divine Perspective: Married to President Bai Fumei

Chapter 420 Identifying Medicinal Materials

"Old man, I don't have a license to practice medicine, and I was just trying to extort money with it last month."

"Your patient, you have to settle this matter."

Du Heng immediately packed up the ticket and said, "I have a friend with good hands and eyes. When you get old, you only need to be responsible for treating diseases and saving lives."

"I can see that, you are indeed a noble man."

"Come with me."

"Since you said that you are not inferior to Yue Tao, then I have to give you a little test first, and I have to make sure that you are not bragging before I really ask you for help."

Lu Shihu then called his young apprentice, took Du Heng, and the three of them continued to climb the mountain together.

Chu Chen Po insisted on following.

Niu Facai and the old village chief stayed where they were.

It didn't take long.

Du Heng smelled a strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine.

look ahead.

What caught the eye was a piece of natural rocks, each of which was placed with a bamboo sieve, in which various kinds of medicinal materials were dried.

"These are all Chinese medicines that I concocted myself, and most of them are due to the help of your senior brother Yue Tao last year."

"I'm 110 years old. Although I don't want to be old, my bodily functions, especially my sense of smell and taste, have deteriorated a lot with age."

"As for traditional Chinese medicine, there are many things to pay attention to from picking and harvesting to processing."

"Picking and harvesting requires a correct cultivation environment and a specific growth time. If the age limit is not enough, the medicinal effect will not be enough, and if the age limit is exceeded, it may become poisonous. The medicinal materials I grow myself are fine, but many medicinal materials can only be picked in the wild. I have no way to rely on them." The nose and the tongue are accurately distinguished."

The old man couldn't hide his sadness when he said this.

How can he keep healthy.

I can't escape these unforgiving years!
"When it comes to concocting traditional Chinese medicine, I have a lot of them now, so I can't do it myself."

"For example, bamboo chastity seeds. The three different processing methods correspond to three different medicinal properties."

"The time required for each processing method must be determined according to the quality of the medicinal materials themselves. There is no standard and quantitative. I used to determine the processing time by tasting the properties of the medicinal materials, but now I am really not sure, so I can only give up processing some medicinal materials by myself."

"Medical materials are so important to us Chinese medicine practitioners! They are bowls for begging and guns for fighting. Without them, we cannot live."

"Originally, I planned to purchase finished Chinese medicine from outside."

"But after I went to the major pharmacies in the city, hey, there are too many shoddy Chinese medicines. If I buy their goods, I might as well pick and concoct Chinese medicines myself."

Du Heng probably understood when he heard this.

"So, you always want me to help identify medicinal materials?"

"Yes, it was around this time last year. I gave Yue Tao a medicine, and he was able to tell all kinds of detailed information, such as when it was finished and what its effects were, etc., and he could tell it accurately."

"If you also have the auxiliary ability of your senior brother, I will definitely not have to worry about the medicinal materials for next year."

"This is what I asked you to help, and this is where I said I would test you."

At this moment, Du Heng showed embarrassment.

"But old man, it will take a lot of my time to help you with this favor, right? Can you go and see my friend first, and then I will let you arrange my time."

Dendrobium Lu smiled.

Then he said as a matter of course: "Of course I will see your friend first. Do you think I'm using your friend to blackmail you into helping me?"

"Young man, when you are sixty, your ears are smooth, and when you are seventy, you can do whatever you want. I am already 110 years old. How can I still be happy to play tricks with you little dolls?"

"If I really want to coerce you, I must say it directly, and I won't hide it until now."

Du Heng's face turned reddish.

Maybe it's because of the sun, or maybe it's because of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, old man, I used the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman."

"You are also concerned about chaos, I can understand."

"Next, you will start my test. For the sake of being Yue Tao's younger brother, no matter whether you pass or not, I will go down the mountain with you to save people."

"Then please tell me."

The young apprentice Lu Dendrobium watched quietly the whole process, and took out a small notebook to take notes.

Look at people's learning attitude.

It's not unreasonable to be accepted as a closed disciple by Mr. Lu.

"There are only two medicines for you in total."

"They are all common medicinal materials that are easy to be confused. Even my apprentice Lu Chensha, who is a rare talent in medicine, has not been able to identify them 100% every time if he just looks at them."

"If you can recognize it as an outsider, then you must pass the test."

"Turn your back first, I'll mix the medicinal ingredients."

Wait until Du Heng turns around again.

I saw Lu Dendrobium put a bamboo sieve, a common Chinese herbal platycodon, in front of him.

"This is Platycodon grandiflorum, but in traditional Chinese medicine, it is divided into southern platycodon grandiflorum and northern platycodon grandiflorum."

"Northern Platycodon grandiflorum can be used as medicine, which tastes bitter and pungent. It is often used to treat symptoms such as cough, phlegm, and chest tightness. Southern Platycodon grandiflorum is sweet and cannot be used as medicine due to differences in local growth. Because the planting cost of sweet platycodon grandiflora is lower, the Shoddy things happen all the time.”

"It depends on your eyesight, so you can't taste it with your mouth, you have to pick it with your eyes."

"You have to pick out all the sweet bellflowers I mixed in to pass the test."

"This is not my old man making things difficult for you. Traditional Chinese medicine and medicine complement each other. If one medicine is ineffective or ineffective, it may cause the whole medicine to have no effect. There is no room for sloppy!"

Du Heng nodded to express his understanding.

Tianyan read it.

It's all clear in my heart.

Everyone looks the same to others, but to him at this moment, it is like picking bananas from apples, as long as you don't be careless, you won't miss anything.

5 minute later.

Du Heng divided the bellflowers in the bamboo sieve into a large pile and a small handful.

"This handful is all sweet bellflowers." Du Heng's tone was extremely firm.

The old man didn't taste it himself.

Instead, he asked his apprentice Lu Chensha to pick a few slices to taste. After tasting, Lu Chensha nodded and showed admiration to Du Heng.

This is not admiration for Du Heng.

After all, to some extent, he is cheating by reducing dimensionality.

"This second medicinal material is a little more difficult."

"Have you ever heard the proverb 'March will be covered with wormwood and April Artemisia, and May and June will be used as firewood'. Do you know what it means?"

"Coincidentally! I do know that the proverbs all say the same thing."

Du Heng talked eloquently.

"If I remember this proverb correctly, it should have come from the Qing Dynasty's "Dijing Sui Shi Ji Sheng·April·Shipin" at the earliest. Artemisia annua is a vegetable, which is eaten in April, and it is harvested as Yinchen in March. Take the child as a star lamp..."

"But this proverb is accurately said in the north, and the south should actually advance it by half a month or a month."

"Yinchen never dies through winter, and spring is reborn because of the root of Chen, so it is called Yinchen or Yinchen."

"In March in Yangchun, Yinchen grows through winter. At this time, it is a common wild vegetable in the countryside. If it is picked in March, it can be used as a medicine for clearing away heat and detoxification. I happened to use it when I was a child."

"Grow until April."
