Merchant and doctor

"That old man is so brave that he dares to sell fake medicine! Should we call and report him?" Luo Zhanqi still has a sense of justice.

"Haha... If you take a closer look, there are also high-grade astragalus in their pile, as well as 'longan astragalus', occasionally mixed with some mulberry branches. For a while, we really couldn't tell whether the old man did it intentionally. After all, he was also tricked by his subordinates! We don’t have any evidence, so it’s hard to judge. Report it? How to report it?!"

"That's right... Even if the relevant departments come to make a surprise inspection, the old man can just pretend that he is dim-sighted and accidentally mixed up the medicine bag, claiming that the medicine bag was not shaken clean at all and he will get away with it, right? Luo Zhanqi guessed with a smile.

"It's possible! In fact, that old master is quite interesting. You still remember it! He said that it is best not to pass through the hands of Chinese medicine frequently. If it gets popular, the medicine will be less effective. That is a medicine shop for the elderly. What are the rules of the industry? According to this logic, [-]% of his family has been engaged in the pharmaceutical industry for several generations. If that is the case, he should not be so self-made... If we want to verify what he said... Unless At least half of its medicinal materials were sampled and bought. By then, if they really have any problems, it will be evidence." Bian Mu guessed with a smile.

"That makes sense! Then... what's going on with the popularity he said? Why don't I have any impression at all?" Luo Zhanqi asked in confusion.

"In the past, traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine shops had very strict regulations. For example, some medicines can be tolerated by sons, but not by daughters and daughters-in-law; some medicines can be used by female members of the family, but men, especially those engaged in butchering, Men in industries such as fishing, cooking, etc. are absolutely not allowed to cook medicine on their behalf. Sometimes, similar people are even prohibited from entering or leaving the patient's bedroom. After all, there is still a "qi" that cannot be separated. Words, there are some things, they must be superstitious in the industry, and some industry rules also have certain profound meanings. They are definitely not just said casually. How old are you like Nie Yixiong? After the prescription is prescribed, where can the patient buy the medicine and how to decoct it. , How can he have the energy to interfere? Right, over time, his cure rate can only decrease year by year." Bian Mu explained patiently.

"Oh... no wonder... I remember when I was a child, my grandma was very taboo about dumping Chinese medicine packets in people's hands."

"No! Don't talk about ordinary people. They use the same utensils to cook the same medicine. What you cook is different from what I cook." Bian Mu said with a smile.

"That's right! You are a first-class master, how can I compare to you!" Smiling, Luo Zhanqi responded sincerely.

"Where, where! The point I'm talking about is the complexity of decoction of traditional Chinese medicine. Alas... In the past two years, many places have done a very good job of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Invisibly, no one has emphasized the professional nature of decoction. , complexity.”

"We can't control that much. It's great to run our clinic well. By the way, after wandering around like this, how do we get our medicine cabinet?" Luo Zhanqi asked with a smile.

After a slight hesitation, Bian Mu held his chin with his left hand, rolled his eyes, and replied: "I haven't thought about it... Logically speaking, we should take the path of 'Qiqingtang', but he has a big business, so it's not fun." Get up! We are small profit makers, so we can only lower the price and try following the path of civilian pharmacies first. However, the quality of the medicinal materials we buy must be absolutely controlled, and we must stick to our principles even if we don’t make any money."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhanqi seemed thoughtful and did not answer the question for a while.

Observing his words, Bian Mu could more or less guess what Luo Zhanqi was thinking. When he didn't say anything, he smiled and continued, "But... we have our advantages. What kind of medicine do we usually take?" , how much to enter, which level of medicinal materials to choose... We can use the artificial intelligence system to make accurate calculations, take a step back, and build a more mature mathematical framework. With the help of computer programs, Fan Sanqiao came forward to help them improve the key details. Within half a year In other words, the digital medicine cabinet can provide the highest quality medicinal materials to our patients at any time without spending much money, and the drug prices must be maintained at a more mature and economical level. By then, We have just taken the first step to success." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Ouch! Even if you have such a brain, compared to you, they all look like idiots, hahaha... Just do what you say. If you are told anything, just say it!"

"Haha... Having said that, it is really not easy to implement it! Recently, we have to find a suitable pharmacist. The design of the medicine cabinet is actually not that difficult. I have drawn many drafts. Hurry up. Let’s talk about it slowly before we get to the actual point!”

As they talked, the meal was almost here. The two of them cleaned up the astragalus on the table, throwing away what should be thrown away, and recategorizing what should be reclassified. After finishing their work, the two of them made an appointment to go out and eat something casually. Lunch was gone.

……

In the afternoon, at 14:30, "Bian's Clinic" opened normally to receive patients.

……

Patient No. 13 is a 27-year-old woman, a white-collar financial worker, who only became a full-time employee last year. The company she works for is located in the city center. She heard about Bian Mu’s name, so she specifically asked for leave today to let Dr. Bian take a look.She has a urinary system problem at a young age. This female patient has no urine all day long. All the major tertiary hospitals have been annoyed, saying that it is not a kidney problem. For a while, there are different opinions, but there is no relatively unified point. diagnosis.

Taking the pulse, checking the tongue coating, and asking about taboos in daily life... Bian Mu went through the normal diagnostic procedures.

"How long have you been sick?"

"Probably more than two years, like two years and nine months!"

"Recently, you've been quite embarrassed about your diet, right? From morning to night, you can't actually eat more than a few mouthfuls of food. Especially in the past five months, your weight has dropped significantly. Are your family members anxious?"

"Ah?! You are so amazing! You can tell this?!" Female Patient No. 13 exclaimed in surprise.

"Where, where! The pulse theory of traditional Chinese medicine is profound and profound. You can't finish it in a lifetime. As long as you pay attention, you can indeed find out many subtle things. Don't be nervous. Your disease is not difficult to treat, but the prescription may not be easy to find. , after you go back, you have to ask for help from relatives and friends."

"It's okay, just tell me. My family and I will try our best to cooperate with the treatment."

"There is an ancient village in Nanqi City called 'Xi Cun', which means 'Xi Cun'. That village has been growing a kind of watermelon called 'Late Spring Ruby' for many years. This kind of watermelon is not big in size and has a crispy skin. Have you ever heard of it being broken with a snap of a finger?" Bian Mu introduced a few words with a smile.

"I have only eaten 'Early Spring Ruby'. The 'Late Spring Ruby' you are talking about should be one of the varieties, right?"

"That's right! As for you, ask your relatives and friends to get you some of that kind of watermelon. Please note that it must be from 'Xicun'. It won't work in other places. Trust me, don't you?"

"Believe it! I have always believed it! What happens after you find that kind of watermelon?"

"Two meals a day, only eat that kind of watermelon. If you are really hungry and can't hold it anymore, just eat some steamed bun slices, the dried kind, sprinkle some edible salt on them at most, and ask your family to collect the watermelon rinds. , remove the skin, cut into thin pieces, mix into a cold dish, eat it at least once a day, just treat it as an ordinary cold dish."

"Okay... then... how long do you have to endure this hard life?" The woman was in trouble at that time.

"About a week, the first period, let's try it for 5 days! Also, do you live by yourself? Or live with your parents?"

"I'm not married yet! I live with my parents."

"Then check the map to see how far it is from your parents' house to my place, so I can help you formulate a small auxiliary treatment plan."

"Okay, let me take a look!" After saying that, the woman began to fiddle with her mobile phone.
