Merchant and doctor

Chapter 152
Lao Pei managed to go down the mountain with great difficulty, and he also earned a lot of money delivering medicine this time. In a moment of joy, the two took a special taxi to the "Bai Ling Winery" to buy a few catties of high-quality sorghum white.

"Xiao Bian! Did you know that this wine can be directly used as medicinal wine, and at least half of the original wine used by Huang Boxi for dispensing medicine is purchased from here." Lao Pei pointed out a few words with a smile.

"Really? It smells pretty good."

"Hahaha... This is the legendary Toupingxiang, try it!" As he spoke, Lao Pei picked up a bottle of sample wine and handed it over.

Porcelain bottle, big belly and small mouth, old-fashioned wine bottle, took it casually, Bian Mu sniffed it.

"Really, is this porcelain bottle fired with a special technique?" Bian Mu guessed with a smile.

"You're still smart! This kind of porcelain bottle can be regarded as a commercial advertising gimmick, and nothing can be seen on the surface. In fact, there are many small holes invisible to the naked eye on the inner wall of the porcelain bottle. Not a single drop can leak out, it is estimated that the internal and external air pressure has been carefully calculated." Lao Pei introduced a few words very expertly.

Hearing this, Bian Mu couldn't help thinking of the ancient pulse pillow.

"Uncle Pei! This wine shop has a history of more than 100 years, right?"

"More than that, it's been three or four hundred years."

"Then this kind of porcelain bottle is not fired in their own kiln?"

"I've never heard of it! It should be processed by a third party!" Old Pei was not sure.

"Let's inquire about it? I have such a thing at hand..." While talking, Bian Mu talked about his plan to invite skilled craftsmen to imitate a pulse pillow.

"Oh! That's a treasure! It should be imitated. In the future, your ability to feel the pulse will be even more powerful. However, the craftsman who made this kind of porcelain bottle may not be able to meet your requirements. Porcelain work was in the past, and it was a high-end product. What about technology! Look at how young that clerk is, what can she understand! Let's inquire separately later!"

"Okay!" While talking, Bian Mu asked the female salesperson for a smaller empty wine bottle, planning to go back and think about it.

Stir-fried broccoli with shrimps, cold crystal beef slices, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed vermicelli with quail eggs, and a piece of roasted duck with fruit wood. He worked tirelessly for nearly three hours and made several dishes to entertain Lao Pei.

"Do too much! It's just the two of us, and you are too polite! You can eat it!" He said that, deeply feeling Bian Mu's sincerity in hospitality, and Lao Pei was very happy from the bottom of his heart.

"I've been physically exhausted recently, and my appetite has increased a lot. I usually don't have any leftovers. I'm happy if you eat and drink well!" As he spoke, Bian Mu would eat small pancakes for roast duck, shredded cucumbers, and shredded sweet spring onions. , Sweet noodle sauce and other ingredients are brought to the table one by one.

It's been a long time to meet a bosom friend for a thousand cups, talking and laughing, half a catty of sorghum has gone down.

"I really didn't see it, you can drink a lot!" Lao Pei said with a smile.

"I don't usually drink much. My grandpa said that if I drink too much liquor, I may not be able to measure the size. I'm not happy today! Have a few more drinks with you."

"You're young and have kung fu, and you're fine with sweating. Your grandpa is an old concept, and there are no taboos! Just don't overdo it. By the way, take time to go to the ghost market and find the old version of "Gui Zang" "Book of Changes", if you have nothing to do, turn to a few pages, and you will gain something." Lao Pei suddenly mentioned the classic masterpiece of the Book of Changes, "Gui Zang".

According to "Zhou Li Chun Guan" records: "The method of Taibuzhang's three changes, one is "Lianshan", the other is "Guizang", and the third is "Zhouyi". There are four." The general idea is that "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Zhouyi" are three different divination methods, but their core content is composed of 8 individual hexagrams overlapped by 64 sutra hexagrams.

"Book of Changes" is widely known, and Bian Mu has also dabbled in it a little, but "Gui Zang" is very strange to him.

"Hasn't the Yi version of "Gui Zang" been lost long ago?" Bian Mu responded casually.

"It's all a legend. The real bamboo slips have been unearthed in the Yiben of "Gui Zang", and there are real ones. I went to the second-hand goods market. It's a mess. You can't read it at all. Don't waste your time there. Provincial Library The borrowing procedures over there are too cumbersome, and you are usually so busy, why not go to the ghost market to try your luck, with your old knowledge and savvy, you will be able to get started soon." Meimei took a big sip of white wine, Lao Pei explained with a smile After a while.

"You mean... this book will help improve my current medical skills?"

Hearing this, Lao Pei squinted his eyes and shook his head with a smile.

"You always think that medical skills are the number one weapon for you to venture into the world alone, but it's not the case. I've seen many famous Chinese medicine experts who are more powerful than you, young, sharp-edged, hot-tempered...everything, The result? Almost none of them made it to the level of Nie Yixiong and Cen Songxue, why?! Didn’t understand a word for 'Tibetan'!" When Lao Pei said this, there seemed to be a trace of regret in his eyes.

"Hide your name, hide your interests, and then quietly get up and try to improve your medical skills? Am I right to understand this?"

"It's kind of like that, but it's not enough. You are a person with a heavy heart. At your age, there is no need. Who doesn't make mistakes among young people?! Sometimes, making mistakes is not necessarily a bad thing, but you can't let yourself Becoming the target of public criticism, everyone taboos you, so... Read that set of books carefully, find a way to hide your edge, and don't let people inside and outside the hospital pay too much attention to you, interfere with you, or even try to harm you! Try to live in those In the blind spots of bad people, let them not see you. Besides, medical skills, you can't be too persistent, otherwise, you may follow Qi Shangqi's old path in the future. It’s because I can’t get out in this life! In a good time, when you should talk to someone, if you want to play, just play happily with everyone for a few days, don’t dare to live too cautiously, people will become stupid after a long time.” Maybe After drinking the wine, Lao Pei seemed a little talkative today.

"Miscellaneous in the secular life, there is me in you, and you in me. After a long time, everyone has a sense of identity with each other, and they don't taboo me so much. Is that what it means?"

"Right! The secular life is the most real and the most enjoyable. Don't refuse it easily. Besides, a young male doctor keeps himself close to him all day long, completely detached from the secular life. How do you pay attention to your patients in detail?! How? Relying on assumptions? Guessing riddles?! Right! In my impression, Nie Yixiong is... greedy for money and profit, especially for fame, good face, and somewhat lecherous, but you have to admit that he is indeed quite a Great doctor, compared with him, you are still far behind!"

"Isn't medical products the same as academic products? Can people with high academics reach the pinnacle of medical skills?" Bian Mu didn't dare to agree with Lao Pei casually.

"You are a bit naive. A master of traditional Chinese medicine at the master level was an extremely secular person back then. Otherwise, how could he know the emotions and desires of the patients? What are you afraid of? What are you loving? If you don't understand the emotions of people in the world of mortals, how can you sort out the patients? The pathological logic?! Isn’t it? Only vulgar people can be elegant, you are too young! If you don’t spend a few years in the world of mortals, the medical skills you have mastered can only be compared with the specific conditions of 99% of patients. , Oil is oil, water is water, as time goes by, your current medical skills will drop significantly!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu froze there.

After a while, Bian Mu realized that what Old Pei said was reasonable, no, it was shocking.
