ancient female doctor

Chapter 350 School Examination Ye Pusheng

At first Qingzhu listened to Ye Pusheng's words, and felt a little regretful, but later seeing the old man say that, she began to worry about it, but she still planned to think it over again.

At that moment, Qing Zhu interrupted the conversation between the father and son slightly apologetically, looked at Ye Pusheng and continued to ask: "So, Big Brother Ye also knows how to identify medicinal materials?"

"Know a thing or two." Ye Pusheng said, but his face showed a bit of color. Obviously, knowing a thing or two is just a self-effacing statement.

"Then, Brother Ye, how should we identify this licorice?" Qing Zhu asked again.

The reason why I asked about licorice at the beginning is because licorice has a very special status in traditional Chinese medicine. Not only does it have a lot of therapeutic effects, but it can also reconcile various medicines. Many prescriptions use licorice. Said to be the first of commonly used Chinese medicine.Basically, in those pharmacies, this medicine is the one that sells the most every day.

Ye Pusheng knew that this was Qingzhu's consideration for him. Although he didn't understand, he still smiled, looked at Qingzhu confidently and said: "This licorice is divided into raw licorice, fried licorice and honey licorice. Among them, there are more fried licorice and honey licorice. It is made for the pharmacy, and the pharmacy buys and sells mostly raw licorice."

"Glycyrrhiza licorice tastes sweet, usually with skin. The skin varies in elasticity, showing reddish brown or brown, with obvious longitudinal wrinkles, grooves, lenticels and sparse fine root scars. The fracture is yellowish white, powdery to the touch feel."

"Among them, the outer skin is thin and tight, the color is reddish brown, the texture is firm, the section is yellow and white, the powder is sufficient, and the taste is sweet."

After speaking, Ye Pusheng paused again, and continued: "There is also peeled powdered licorice, the surface is mostly light yellow, and the rest of the identification is roughly the same as that of unpeeled licorice."

In fact, later generations of licorice are divided into eastern licorice and western licorice, and there are even Oglycyrrhiza licorice produced in Europe, which have different shapes and slightly different curative effects. Among them, western licorice is the best.

However, in this era, due to the restrictions of regional transportation, etc., the licorice generally referred to is the western licorice.What Ye Pusheng said was actually the identification method of licorice.

Of course, Qingzhu is not a picky person. After listening to it, he nodded immediately and praised: "Not bad." After praising, Qingzhu then asked: "So how can Magnolia distinguish between good and bad and authenticity? ?”

This question asked by Qingzhu is much more difficult than the previous licorice question, because there are so many types of Magnolia officinalis and fakes, and some fakes have very little difference from the real ones, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them.

However, this question is obviously not difficult for Ye Pusheng. He smiled again and said confidently again: "Magnolia officinalis is gray-brown or yellow-brown in appearance, with obvious round lenticels and wrinkles. Cracks and flower spots. The inner surface is purple oily or brown, with vertical and straight textures, and oil marks can be seen when scratched. Its texture is hard and not easy to break. After breaking, the fracture is granular, and the outer layer is brownish gray and oily. Spicy, spicy and slightly bitter."

"Among them, the ones with dry body, thick flesh, sufficient oiliness, pungent aroma, and less chewing residue are the best."

After saying this, Ye Pusheng stopped, looked at the green bamboo, and there was some anticipation in his eyes.

Qingzhu waited for a long time, but did not wait for Ye Pusheng to tell how to distinguish the authenticity, so he simply opened his mouth and asked: "Then, how should we distinguish the authenticity of Magnolias?"

Qingzhu's question stunned both Ye Pusheng and the old man. After a long while, Ye Pusheng said cautiously: "This...why do we need to distinguish the authenticity of Magnolia officinalis? Come on magnolia, they have the time to make fakes, and they can peel off a lot of magnolia, we just need to distinguish the good from the bad from the magnolia.”

"Huh?" Qingzhu was also taken aback, and then remembered that the ancient times are different from the modern ones.In ancient times, those forests were not destroyed, Magnolia officinalis was not as rare as it is in modern times, so basically no one faked it.Only in modern times, Magnolia officinalis is relatively rare, will there be many artificial fakes.

After figuring this out, Qingzhu felt embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "I just asked casually."

The old man saw Qingzhu's embarrassment, so he didn't think too much, just glared at Ye Pusheng, and said in a low voice, "If you ask me, just answer truthfully, where did all these nonsense come from?"

Ye Pusheng screamed in his heart that he was wronged, but he didn't dare to argue with his old man, he just whispered: "Yes, I know I was wrong."

Qingzhu said a few more jokes, which sort of exposed the matter.

Then, Qingzhu asked some more questions about the medicinal materials, the more difficult the questions, the Ye Pushengju answered them one by one.

Not only did Qingzhu ask, the old man also helped Qingzhu to ask a lot of questions, which were much trickier than Qingzhu's questions, some questions, even Qingzhu hadn't thought about it, unexpectedly, that Ye Pusheng also answered all of them , and judging by the old man's expression, Ye Pusheng answered all the questions correctly.

At the moment, Qingzhu felt much more at ease, and she became more clear about her thoughts, and said: "Brother Ye really has a family background, and Qingzhu admires it."

Of course, the old man and Ye Pusheng were self-effacing again, and finally, Ye Pusheng asked cautiously: "I don't know that Doctor Xia is asking me these questions, but what should I tell you to do?"

Qingzhu smiled slightly and said: "I don't dare to confess, but I plan to open a pharmacy in Shangjing City, but I have no one to use it, so I want to ask Brother Ye to help me to be a manager in this pharmacy, responsible for purchasing and purchasing medicinal materials, etc. I wonder if Big Brother Ye is willing?"

"Yes, of course I am willing!" Ye Pusheng had secretly guessed before, but now when he heard Qingzhu's words, his face immediately showed joy, and he nodded repeatedly in response.

On the contrary, the old man declined for a while, coughing, and said: "If my son is a boy, it should be fine. But I'm afraid it's difficult for him to be in charge. After all, he has seldom been in contact with medicinal materials these years, and most of them are It's all on paper, and the little old man is a little worried that he will not be able to handle it. If he buys inferior medicinal materials and comes back, Dr. Xia will be tired and lose money. The lack of medicine will delay the patient's condition and even affect Dr. Xia's reputation , but it matters a lot..."

Hearing the old man's words, Ye Pusheng's face was a little anxious, and he was also a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to refute.

Qingzhu shook her head, and said: "Old man's concerns, Qingzhu also has some considerations. But after all, this medicine store is not open just by saying it will open, and it will take some time to prepare. Besides, Qingzhu plans to return home in the first month. Once, it will take more than a month to come back, and the old man's health should be almost recovered by then, so he can give advice to Brother Ye, and help Qingzhu lock up the medicinal materials by the way, it's not a problem."
