Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 567: Brother Sihai’s treasured amber, what difficulties will the correction unit encounter?
Fangyan also collected amber in his previous life.

Fangyan still remembers that he got into this medicine because it contained this thing.

It is a hydrocarbon formed by the condensation of resin from ancient pine plants that was buried underground for a long time.

This thing takes a long time and requires specific conditions to form, and has a unique appearance and inclusions. Some high-quality amber containing rare inclusions such as complete insects, or brightly colored and large amber, has a high collection value.

In ancient times, it had many aliases such as tiger amber, tiger soul, river pearl, amber soul, and animal soul. The most common ones are blue amber, golden amber, flower amber, blood amber, insect amber, tea amber, and root amber.

Among them, Dominican blue amber and Burmese blood amber are relatively precious varieties.

In traditional Chinese medicine, amber is classified as a heavy sedative under the category of tranquilizers.

It is mild in nature and sweet in taste, and enters the heart meridian, liver meridian, and bladder meridian. It has the effects of calming the nerves, dispersing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria, removing cataracts and improving eyesight. It can be used to treat insomnia, palpitations, convulsions, epilepsy, amenorrhea due to blood stasis, postpartum abdominal pain, accumulation of masses, blood in stranguria, and eye cataracts.

The ambers of Lu Sihai are all golden yellow, and each one contains insects, plant leaves, or seeds. They are light-transmissive and no cracks can be seen. They can be said to be carefully selected.

The only drawback is that it's a little small.

But the advantage is that there are a lot of them, several at a time.

The main thing is that amber is very old, so it has a very good meaning when used as a gift.

These are not common items either. Perhaps Lu Sihai spent a lot of time collecting them. He gave away so many of them this time, which probably reduced his inventory a lot.

Fang Yan said to Lu Sihai:
"Amber is a good thing. Not only is it beautiful and can be used for collection, it can also be used to treat diseases. However, I believe Brother Sihai has collected these things for a long time. It would be bad for me to take all of them. I will just take one."

Lu Sihai shook his head and said:
"Hey, since I brought it here, there's no reason to answer. Just keep it if I give it to you."

"You are my father's disciple, so you are my brother. Isn't it natural for an elder brother to give a little thing to his younger brother?"

After hearing this, Lu Donghua nodded immediately and said to Fang Yan:

"That's right, Fangyan, I think you should just take it."

"Although these things are not very expensive, they took him a long time to collect. They can be regarded as a gift from a brother."

"Don't refuse."

Fangyan heard what the master said, so he nodded and said:

"Okay then, I'll accept these treasures. I'll keep them well and treat them as heirlooms."

Hearing Fang Yan say this, Lu Sihai smiled and said:

"These little things are just souvenirs, not heirlooms."

Having said that, it took him a lot of effort to collect these things.

Of course Fangyan also knows this. When he was collecting information before, it was the Internet age. It was much more convenient then, and there were many people who forged information. Now, these are all serious things.

It must have taken Lu Sihai a long time to collect them.

It was he who said he wanted it to be a family heirloom, to show that he valued the gift.

After all, don’t you want others to value the gifts you give?

Just hearing this in dialect, even if you know it's just a compliment, will make you feel a lot better.

Next Fangyan asked about their treatment today.

Lu Sihai said:
"There's no reaction after taking the medicine. When I came over, he was already asleep. They were all guarding outside the house."

"Tonight we'll see if he screams in his sleep or wakes up and runs around."

"You're not giving him western medicine anymore, are you?" Fang Yan asked Lu Sihai.

Lu Sihai responded:

"Of course not. Didn't you tell me? The side effects of those Western medicines are too severe, so we have stopped taking them."

"I just don't know if there will be any accidents tonight."

After that, he said to Lu Donghua:
"Dad, I think you shouldn't go back tonight. It's not safe over there. Just sleep here with Wangyou. I'll be back to watch over you later."

When Lu Donghua heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said:

"How can that be possible? None of you have ever practiced martial arts. If he goes crazy, only an old man like me can stop him."

Although he couldn't deal with people like Shan Haoran, the old man was still very confident in dealing with ordinary people.

As he said this, he was about to follow back.

The dialect said:

"Master, don't worry. Didn't I tell you? It's hard for him to go crazy in his current state. Even if he does go crazy, he doesn't have much strength left. His physical condition is completely different from six months ago. Just look at his skinny arms and legs."

"I think you should just stay here peacefully. If you have any questions, ask Brother Sihai to call me. Tomorrow morning, you can take Lao Chen and his car back home."

Director Chen and his wife were returning home and happened to pass by Xiyuan Hospital.

Mr. Lu thought about it and finally chose to trust Fang Yan's judgment. He said:
"Okay then... I'll listen to you."

It was the first time that Lu Sihai saw his father listen to advice so much. This father was famous for his stubborn temper, and generally speaking, it didn't work well for anyone who said these things to him.

But the dialect can solve the problem with just one sentence.

Lu Sihai also knows the dialect, and he knows what kind of status he holds in his old man's heart.

Lu Sihai stood up and said:
"I have delivered the things. Congratulations to Brother Fangyan for winning the top spot in the college entrance examination."

Fangyan bowed to him.

Then Lu Sihai said:

"Then if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. They're still waiting for me at home."

"Okay, then be careful on the road." Lu Donghua nodded and agreed. After that, he thought of something and asked Fang Yan:

"Oh, by the way, Fangyan, do you have anything else to tell Sihai? Is there anything that needs to be observed when the patient wakes up tomorrow morning?"

After thinking for a while, Fang Yan recalled the patient's detailed case and said:

"See if he wakes up tomorrow and see if his reaction is still slow. Also see if the phlegm in his throat has decreased."

"Also confirm if he sleeps at night, he will still scream."

"If you have any, add 5 grams more to the original amount of calamus, curcuma and rhizoma anemarrhenae."

"If the suspicion and impatience decrease, or even the screaming disappears, remove the Anemarrhena asphodeloides."

"Otherwise everything will continue as before."

Lu Sihai showed a confused expression, and Fang Yan then remembered that he had not studied Chinese medicine.

It is indeed a bit difficult for him to memorize so much.

So Fangyan took out his pen and quickly wrote down what he had just said.

Then he tore it off and handed it to Lu Sihai.

After taking it, Lu Sihai said goodbye to everyone, and then told Lu Wangyou to be obedient here and not to make trouble. He was then sent out of the courtyard by Fang Yan and drove away.

It was only then that Fang Yan realized that Lu Sihai could actually drive the company car around.

When I looked back at my sidecar, I suddenly felt it was a bit shabby.

Next, the four members of the Bachukayev family also said goodbye to the dialect.

I hugged them at the door, then watched their Studebaker slowly drive away.

Even though so many people left, the house was still very lively.

Just having five children together makes a lot of noise, and the three dogs in the house are scared by them.

He hid in the woodshed and refused to come out.

The cat was even smarter. It jumped to a high place and hid its body. No matter how the group of children meowed, it pretended not to hear them.

The adults were watching TV in the main living room while the children were making noise in the yard outside.

Not long after the news started tonight, news came out that Fang Yan had been visited by city leaders and officials from the Education Bureau to deliver his report card this morning.

Although it was edited and many scenes and dialogues were missing, the content of Fang Yan's final speech was still retained.

The oratory skills enhanced by the main system allowed him to speak passionately.

He looks like a talented and passionate young man who plans to make great achievements in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

After listening to his speech, which seemed to be shouting slogans but was actually promoting the special heart-saving soup, Fangyan was very satisfied. After the TV news broadcast, he would have all the newspapers publish the content, and many people would definitely pay attention to the prescription.

Then his purpose would be fully achieved. As for how it would be promoted, Fangyan is not actually worried.

Because after his composition is published, the name of Poge Jiuxin Decoction will appear in people's vision again.

A lot of effort has been put into promoting this recipe and dialect.

If he was telling the truth, he was forced to take the capital's college entrance examination and become the top scorer in order to promote this recipe.

I guess no one would believe it.

But the fact is that this is the case, which sounds absurd.

In the coming time, Fangyan believes that he will be interviewed many times.

Just like the top scorers in the college entrance examination in later generations, they will be repeatedly paid attention to by society, and will even be compared in future college entrance examinations.

Because getting full marks in every subject is the ceiling no matter when.

At most I can get the same score as him, but it is impossible to surpass him.

In addition, Fangyan is now more concerned about what Lao Ji brought back this time.

If it is really the bronze weight of the Minister of Agriculture of the Han Dynasty, then what method should be used to maximize its influence?
When studying medical works from the Han Dynasty, Li Shizhen put forward the view that "the systems today and in ancient times are different. One liang in ancient times can be used as one qian today." In other words, he believed that one liang in ancient times was equivalent to one qian at that time (in the Ming Dynasty).

However, Chinese medicine now uniformly treats the "liang" in ancient prescriptions as "qian", and then converts it into our current method of treating one liang in ancient prescriptions as one qian, which is 3 grams.

However, after the unearthed bronze weight of the Grand Minister of Agriculture, it was found that one liang in the Han Dynasty was about 15.625 grams. According to Li Shizhen, the dosage of the ancient prescription was reduced by about 5 times.

The dialect is remembered very clearly. After this thing was unearthed in the previous life, although everyone knew that Li Shizhen's measurement unit was wrong, it still had little impact.

There are many reasons, and many people are involved.

Some people say that although Li Shizhen had some deviations in converting the measurement units of ancient prescriptions, his incorrect conversion is not completely followed in modern times. We are just still affected by it to a certain extent, but the impact is not significant.

Of course, this statement was later refuted by Mr. Li Ke.

Those who did not use aconite properly all died.

Then some doctors expressed that they relied on and identified with their views on measurement units and were unwilling to easily change the traditional dosage methods of medications, fearing that the changes would affect the efficacy.

Then the pharmacopoeia at the back also cooperates to limit the dosage.

What about this time?

Fangyan is very curious about what difficulties he will encounter this time.
PS: The 6000-word basic chapter has been updated.

There will be more updates later.
