Merchant and doctor

Chapter 44 Taste the Herbs

"Happy Forest" Hotel in the middle section of Huaiyuan Avenue, Beicheng District, Lijin City.

This is a comprehensive hotel integrating catering, entertainment, and convention and exhibition. The first and second floors are restaurants, and the third and fourth floors are equipped with bowling, indoor archery, simulated golf hall, yoga hall, art and body shaping hall... [-] The first floor is full of exhibition halls, the sixth floor is all conference rooms, and the seventh floor is a sightseeing platform. There are many high-end astronomical telescopes and sightseeing telescopes. Usually there are quite a lot of tourists.

Except for the first floor, the membership system is implemented on the second floor and above. If you don't have a membership card, the security guards at the door and the doorman will politely refuse.

Qi Shangqi is the savior of the current boss of "Happy Forest", and he enjoys the treatment of a gold card member here. After calling by the young disciple surnamed Xie, when Qi Shangqi and his party arrived at the hotel, the waiter of "Happy Forest" hotel was already on the second floor The small hall arranged two dining places for everyone.

After observing with cold eyes for a while, Bian Mu found that Qi Shangqi's usual life spectrum is not small.

Qi Shangqi and Bian Mu were courteously given by the young waitress to a table near the south window. The circular dining table has a small diameter and can only seat three guests at most. The young male doctor looked the youngest, and at the moment he was inviting several senior brothers and sisters to sit at another large dining table not far away.

Obviously, this is a special habit that Qi Shangqi has cultivated for many years, let alone other things, at least, it is much more convenient for him to talk to Bian Mu.

"No wonder Mr. Qi Shangqi arranged for that disciple surnamed Xie to do things. So he has such a wink! I hope he won't grow up to be the kind of 'capable person' who only knows how to flatter and lose business day by day." Bian Mu thought to himself road.

"Seven Treasures Tea" is served above the second floor of "Happy Forest". The tea is rich in fragrance, deep in color, and slightly astringent in the mouth. It is the first time for Bian Mu to drink this kind of tea.

"Doctor Bian! How does this tea taste?"

"It's pretty good, it feels like a drink like health tea." Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"Doctor Bian really tastes good, why don't you guess what ingredients are in it?" Qi Shangqi said politely, but in fact, he was testing Bian Mu.

His mentor, Luo Ziyi, once taught Qi Shangqi the skill of appreciating hundreds of herbs. It is not just relying on a certain talent to randomly identify the characteristics of certain Chinese herbal medicines. It is a basic skill of traditional Chinese medicine that is diligent, steady, and logical.

With Qi Shangqi's current skills, he can basically tell exactly how many medicines he used and which Chinese medicines he took with a random bowl of fried soup and medicine after tasting a few mouthfuls.

Of course, when encountering special medicinal materials and decoction methods, Qi Shangqi also made mistakes, but that kind of situation is extremely rare, and he has hardly encountered it in decades of practice.

This skill is also applicable to pills, powders, plasters, and elixirs in Chinese patent medicines.

Luo Ziyi is even more evil. Not only can he taste hundreds of herbs, but he can also estimate the dosage of most herbal medicines. In this regard, Qi Shangqi has always respected his mentor as a god-man.

Qi Shangqi really didn't know Bian Mu's background, so he took the opportunity to test it out. Based on his intuition, he always believed that there must be an expert behind Bian Mu.

"This...that's not good. It seems that there are peanuts, fried and crushed, and tea rice, which is also fried. Wolfberry, Guiyuan, black sesame, hawthorn, rock sugar, I can only taste so much. Bian Mu responded casually.

Upon hearing this, Qi Shangqi couldn't help being stunned.

"Have you ever had this tea before?"

"No! This is the first time for the juniors here." Bian Mu is so smart, he didn't say anything, and he roughly guessed Qi Shangqi's intentions in his heart.

Although the famous doctor Luo Ziyi is extremely low-key, as a legendary representative of traditional Chinese medicine in the Lijin area, he is definitely a thunderbolt to Bian Mu in his famous name.

When I was in college, at least more than half of the teachers of professional courses mentioned Luo Ziyi from time to time. Qi Shangqi’s teacher, Bian Mu, had already heard about it. Since Luo Ziyi is famous for tasting herbs, Qi Shangqi’s practice It is not shallow for nature.

Bian Mu has never seriously practiced the basic skills of traditional Chinese medicine such as "tasting a hundred herbs", but in his daily life, consciously or unconsciously, he has been doing similar exercises.

For example, every time my mother makes steamed buns, dumplings, etc., Bian Mu will seriously guess what ingredients my mother puts in the fillings every time. proficient.

"Hehe... you can! To tell you the truth, this tea is my recipe, and the boss here named it 'Seven Treasures Tea'. Not only did you guess all of them correctly, but you can also accurately distinguish Some of the ingredients have been fried, and the younger generation is awesome, the younger generation is awesome!"

"Where, where! This junior is purely guessing, it just happened to be right!" Bian Mu hastily said a few polite words, Mr. Qi's secret probing intentions are like a mirror in his heart.

However, Bian Mu felt that Mr. Qi didn't have to do this. As long as the skills of Chinese medicine were involved among colleagues, even if they were inferior in seniority, why couldn't they discuss openly and openly in the sun? !

Qi Shangqi smiled meaningfully, and stopped following the conversation to "taste all kinds of herbs".

Knowing that Bian Mu was starving, Qi Shangqi specially ordered a few traditional nourishing dishes, one of which was soup with a lot of ginseng, and the other with Ganoderma lucidum ingredients.

Feeling Mr. Qi's sincere hospitality and a few words of courtesy, Bian Mu only ordered a dish of homemade tofu and a dish of steamed nine-tailed river fish.

Xiao Xie, his brothers and sisters ordered all the dishes that young people like to eat. They listened to their ears and listened to them. Referring to the prices of the recipes they just saw, those dishes are not cheap!
Bian Mu felt that Mr. Qi was quite generous to his disciples on weekdays. At least, the old man was not a cheapskate.

Doctors usually don't order drinks when they eat at the same table. This is a customary rule in the Lijin Chinese medicine community. Although Bian Mu knows nothing about it, as a guest, he will not rashly ask for wine.

Every dish is so refreshing and delicious, you can sweat while eating it.

Seeing that Bian Mu was eating happily without any trace of pretentiousness, Qi Shangqi gradually became more relaxed. In his opinion, Bian Mu was at least not the kind of scheming and well-mannered young man.

"Doctor Bian! What stage has the title evaluation reached?"

"You can call me Xiao Bian. I've only been working for a few years, and it's not my turn to get a good job title evaluation!"

"There is a training class in Lijin recently, and Nie Yixiong is the speaker. They are all enrolled. I still have a few places in my hand. You can take one!" Qi Shangqi said these words suddenly.

"Oh! Teacher Nie's training class? I heard that with the certificate of completion, you can go back to your unit to fight for an exceptional professional title?" Hearing this, Bian Mu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, as long as your time is convenient, I will ask Xiao Xie to come and bring it to you later."

"Mr. Xie Qi, my qualifications are too low. I heard that there are more than [-] people in the front line! Besides, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I didn't do well in our place. It's hard to let me be laid off a while ago! It would be a waste of that quota to fall into my hands, I am ashamed to accept it for your kindness, but unfortunately, the time is not right, next time I have a chance, I will come to ask you for another one."

"Then...do you want to consider transferring to our hospital? The current dean happens to be a student of mine, and I can still speak. As long as your hospital is willing to release you, I will let Xiaoxie handle the other procedures for you!"

Hearing this, Bian Mu was really moved.
