Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 165 Sansheng Drink

"correct!"

Wang Chengzhou snapped his fingers and chuckled:

"The taste of raw pinellia is very weak, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it when it is boiled in soup."

"After eating this stuff, your throat will become inexplicably mute. If you don't cut it with the corresponding medicine, it will take a few days to recover."

"I estimate that the first daughter-in-law who used Pinellia ternata to drug her mother-in-law was also an eccentric woman who had no choice but to suppress her harmful moves."

Luan Hongying's pretty face was full of astonishment, her mouth was open, and after a long while, she bit her red lips and laughed.

Her little face was flushed with novelty and admiration.

Obviously, Comrade Luan Hongying was very interested in this weird folk remedy.

Moreover, I also admire the first little daughter-in-law who dared to resist.

Seeing Wang Chengzhou's heart suddenly tremble, he could only pray to Li Yuzhu for good luck.

If others want to use this trick, I'm afraid they are powerless.

First, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the medicinal properties of Pinellia ternata without contact with traditional Chinese medicine. Second, even if they understand the medicinal properties, it is difficult to find it in a remote rural area.

But Luan Hongying is different.

This girl got back a lot of pinellia in just one wheat harvest...

Once you have the desire to be a thief and you have the tools, it depends on whether you have the courage to be a thief after you get married.

"Anti... medicine?"

However, Luan Hongying has a cold temperament, but she is not a mean and vicious person.

If her mother-in-law is really poisoned and silenced, no matter how bad the other person is, she may not be able to bear it.

"The antidote is actually very simple."

Wang Chengzhou poked his head around and searched around, but never saw Luan Xiuwu. He was curious and said casually: "Put a piece of ginger in your mouth and you will recover in a short time."

"Raw... ginger?"

Luan Hongying's eyes widened, and she didn't expect that the method of detoxification was so simple.

"What's this?"

Wang Chengzhou turned around and looked at her with a smile, "Our Chinese medicine pays attention to compatibility, which is what experts call the king, his ministers and his envoys."

"For some obviously poisonous medicines, you can use the relationship between mutual killing and fear in the 'Seven Emotions' to resolve the toxicity. For example: ginger and pinellia, amomum villosum and rehmannia glutinosa."

"And, sometimes, what we need is just that little bit of toxicity. We can't be timid and shy away from it as soon as we hear that a certain medicine is poisonous. Otherwise, we won't be able to cure serious diseases."

Luan Hongying tilted her head, feeling a little confused.

But he still nodded obediently, wrote it down carefully, and pretended to understand.

It made Wang Chengzhou laugh.

Then, he sighed: "Actually, there is a very powerful prescription for Pinellia ternata called 'Sansheng Yin'."

"Three... raw... drinks?"

Luan Hongying really learned a lot today. She didn't understand why her junior brother suddenly started teaching her about herbal medicine.

"Correct!"

Wang Chengzhou nodded. At first glance, the name seemed very romantic, and it was easy to associate it with Sansheng III. "Actually, it is the medicinal materials used in Sanweisheng."

"They are: Pinellia ternata, Nanxing, and Aconite. These three herbs are all poisonous. When combined together, they are a very powerful first aid prescription. They can treat phlegm and qi syndrome, and can bring people back from the brink of death."

"But, just because it's poisonous, many doctors don't dare to use it, and many pharmacies don't dare to sell it."

In fact, not only the medicinal materials, but even the dosage, later generations of doctors began to be timid when using them, not seeking merit but seeking perfection.

As a result, there is a dilemma that traditional Chinese medicine cannot cure serious diseases.

Speaking of this, Wang Chengzhou felt upset.

He changed the topic, grabbed a handful of Polygala, and pulled her to sit on the big bluestone by the stream.

Holding it in his hand, he shook it proudly and asked: "Xiao Hongying, do you still remember the medicinal properties of Polygala?"

"Call...Sister...Sister!"

Luan Hongying pretended to be angry, pursed her red lips, and stared at him without blinking.

There are certain places where Wang Chengzhou cannot give in, he said with a smile:
"No, no, no!"

"From the perspective of master, you are indeed my good senior sister, but from the perspective of medicine, you can only be my good disciple!"

"Hey, let's talk about our own things. When I'm practicing martial arts, I'll call you Senior Sister, and when I'm studying medicine, you'll call me Master, okay?"

"not good!"

Luan Hongying blinked her beautiful eyes and wrinkled her nose. She was not stupid, so she could not hear Wang Chengzhou's strong words.

"Call--!"

Wang Chengzhou smiled playfully and did not give in. "Master will teach you medical skills. In the future, we will go out of the mountains, find an apricot forest, and build a few courtyards with white walls and black tiles."

"Then, find a few more apprentices to pass on our martial arts and medical skills."

"When the time comes, I will diagnose the disease and you will get the medicine. I will be the master in the hall, and you will be the master wife in the hall."

Luan Hongying's pretty face was filled with yearning as she nodded confusedly.

Didn't find the problem at all...

"Then, if you want to be a competent little master wife and not be embarrassed in front of the apprentices, why don't you learn herbal medicine from me?"

Wang Chengzhou followed the temptation, like a little thief who kidnapped a good girl, "So, I have taught you everything I have learned in my life, but you are not worthy of the word 'Master'?"

After saying that, he looked directly into her eyes with a sad face.

"Master...respect..."

Luan Hongying's big eyes flashed suddenly, she was very helpless and had no choice but to satisfy his perverted hobby. "Hey!"

Wang Chengzhou jumped up with joy and almost danced.

"cough!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Luan Xiuwu came back from outside, happened to hear the conversation between the two, and his nose almost became angry.

But in front of his precious granddaughter, he couldn't scold him directly, so he could only glare at him angrily and mutter: "You little bastard!"

Wang Chengzhou's face turned red and he pretended not to hear.

He even greeted him warmly, "Master, I've been waiting for you for a long time, what have you been doing?"

"What do I have to explain to you?"

Luan Xiuwu glanced at Luan Hongying, who had a cute expression on his face, and shook his head helplessly, "The team is sharing the wheat, so of course I have to go get the share from our grandfather and grandson."

"Otherwise, eating meat every day without eating some pasta will be bad for your health."

"The brigade courtyard was as chaotic as a war, and the whole village rushed over. You guys are so cool, talking nonsense here! I saw your parents and your sister pulling a cart of wheat back. I guess there were six or seven people there. One hundred catties is a lot. Why don't you go back and help me?"

If Xu Wannian heard what he said, he might be able to cure his illness directly.

Three male educated youths were so thirsty that they felt like they were having a rabbit during the Chinese New Year.

Who would have thought that the grandfather and grandson of Luan Tou, who lived in the mountains, could eat game almost every day.

Moreover, this old Luan Tou had the intention to drive him away both inside and outside his words.

Wang Chengzhou smiled secretly in his heart.

This was when he saw him openly teasing his granddaughter, and he became anxious.

But who is Wang Chengzhou?

Moreover, based on his understanding of Luan Xiuwu, if he was really angry, he would have scolded himself and might even take action immediately.

Where can I talk to myself in an easy-to-consider way?
So, he said shamelessly: "There are only six or seven hundred kilograms of wheat, and three big living people, why do you need my help? When six or seven thousand kilograms are harvested from the fields in the future, it won't be too late for me to go back and help."

"Hmph, you kid!"

Luan Xiuwu glanced at him sideways and sneered:
"Just stay here and daydream."

"Every family will share six to seven thousand catties of grain. Why don't you all drink the northwest wind? All the wheat produced by the team will be given to your family."

"You think I'm an old man and I'm Xiao Hongying. I don't have any right or wrong in my heart. Do you believe whatever you say?"

Wang Chengzhou smacked his lips.

This old man had deep opinions about himself. He was afraid that he would deceive his granddaughter, so he wanted to wake up Luan Hongying at every turn.

Why on earth?
Wang Chengzhou felt that he was quite good, and he was passionately devoted to Luan Hongying. The old guy shouldn't have been unable to see it!

However, he said that no matter what he said, Wang Chengzhou continued to pretend to be confused.

Corrected:
"Master, I'm not talking about the food distributed among the team."

"In the future, when every household will have their own land and work for themselves, they will no longer have to cheat and work as foreigners. Maybe one acre of land will be able to produce thousands of kilograms of wheat."

“When the time comes, if you want to make dumplings, you can make dumplings, if you want to bake steamed buns, you can bake steamed buns, and if you want to eat white flour until you vomit, the dogs won’t even care about it anymore.”

"Alas!"

Listening to his nonsense, Luan Xiuwu laughed angrily, "Come on, the more he talks, the more outrageous he becomes."

"It's not a big deal if you return a dog. Tomorrow I will bake steamed buns on the kang. If you have the guts, don't come over to eat them!"

"One acre of land contains a thousand pounds of wheat, why don't you go to heaven?"

Listening to her grandfather's complaints, Luan Hongying sat cross-legged on the big bluestone and smiled with her head turned to the sky.

The black hair is scattered, and the white neck is like a swan.

He tilted his head and glanced at Wang Chengzhou secretly, looking like he was gloating at his misfortune.

My heart said: If you talk nonsense, will you be scolded by grandpa?

Wang Chengzhou took a deep breath and laughed helplessly.

After the household responsibility system was implemented, it didn't take long for every household to live a prosperous life.

Not to mention how rich you are, at least you won’t be hungry anymore.

The locals even coined a proverb, "People who work hard are not lazy."

As long as you are willing to put down your body, work hard, and take care of the crops carefully, you basically don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

"Master, why is it tomorrow? Can't we eat it today?"

It was impossible for Wang Chengzhou to talk about the future, otherwise, it would become more and more cloudy, which would make Luan Xiuwu tired of it.

Immediately, he started to change the topic, swallowed his saliva and asked.

Seeing that he couldn't wait any longer, even greedier than a dog, Old Luan Tou pointed at him, smiled and scolded him, and said dotingly:
"I haven't polished the flour well today, so I'm going to bake buns for you with my farts?"

"My father and I have divided more than 300 kilograms of wheat between us. We can't carry it all to the back of the mountain, right? I've stored it in the brigade yard."

"When the public stone mill is free tomorrow, I will push it out and carry it to the mountains. Then we can eat it in the afternoon."

When Wang Chengzhou heard this, he felt a little helpless.

He frowned and said:
"Master, why don't you and senior sister move out?"

"It used to be to avoid those gossips, but now that I'm here, senior sister's illness has recovered, and it's not convenient to continue living in the mountains."

"You have to go back and forth even to eat white noodles. Are you tired?"

Luan Xiuwu fell silent upon hearing this.

　Cough
