"This is the dosing ratio of ancient and modern medicines that I have compiled myself over the years."
While holding up the notebook, Doctor Niu said, "For the same disease, the same prescription, how many grams of modern medicine is the same as the ancient prescription?"
Fang Qiu was shocked when he heard this.
Dosing ratio of ancient and modern medicines?
This was definitely a big project!
One must know that although ancient prescriptions clearly recorded the dosage, after thousands of years of development, whether it was the quality of the medicine or the rules of measurement, there had been some changes. This led to the current situation where many prescriptions were made according to the dosage ratio of the ancient prescriptions, and the effect was not as good.
This was also a point that Chinese Medicine had been attacked.
Fang Qiu did not expect that.
Because Doctor Niu found that the quality of Chinese medicinal materials was insufficient, he began to compile dosing ratios of ancient and modern prescriptions. This was the final result that could be reached after countless attempts. It was not something that could be achieved by changing the measurement units.
"Can I have a look?"
Shocked, Fang Qiu directly opened his mouth to ask for it. He wanted to see how shocking the content in this thick notebook was.
"Of course not."
Doctor Niu smiled, shook his head and said, "However, as long as you can pass my assessment, I can give this notebook to you for free."
"Hmm?"
Fang Qiu was stunned.
"Because the content of the assessment is related to this notebook, so you can't read it."
Doctor Niu explained.
"Okay."
Fang Qiu nodded knowingly. Since it was related to the assessment, it was really impossible. Even if Doctor Niu opened it for him to read, he would not read it.
"Now, can you give me the test?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"That's what I was thinking."
Doctor Niu said with a smile, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu immediately reached out and took the paper.
As soon as he got it, he took a closer look and found that there were thousands of Chinese herbs written on the paper.
"There are thousands of Chinese herbs written on this paper. Go and pick them for me."
When Fang Qiu was reading the words on the paper, Doctor Niu said with a smile, "As a Chinese Medicine doctor, the basic knowledge should be solid, right?"
Fang Qiu smiled bitterly.
Even in the Compendium of Materia Medica, there were only 1892 kinds of Chinese herbs recorded. This piece of paper actually recorded more than a thousand kinds, which could be regarded as half of the Compendium of Materia Medica.
With a wry smile, Fang Qiu did not hesitate. He quickly glanced through the Chinese Medicine herbs recorded on the paper and immediately began to work.
Anyway, Holy Doctor Niu didn't say that they had to follow the order. Moreover, there were so many Chinese herbal medicines. If they were to follow the order, how long would it take?
Therefore …
Fang Qiu directly walked into the herb garden with the paper and began to pick the herbs like crazy. Anyway, most of the herbs he could see were in the list on the paper.
In this case, Fang Qiu's picking speed was very fast.
Outside the wooden house, in front of the tea table.
Looking at Fang Qiu, who was quickly picking herbs, Doctor Niu nodded slightly. When Fang Qiu walked away, he even took out a telescope that no one knew when he had prepared it.
Over here.
Because there were too many herbs to pick, Fang Qiu had to keep his speed fast enough. After all, there were thousands of kinds of herbs. If he picked one in a minute, it would take him a thousand minutes.
There were only 720 minutes in a day.
Therefore, Fang Qiu had to be as fast as possible.
About an hour later.
Fang Qiu finally picked more than a thousand kinds of Chinese Medicine herbs.
Counting, he needed to pick one every three seconds.
If it was an ordinary person, he would never be able to do this. But in Fang Qiu's hands, it was not fast.
Over here.
Seeing that Fang Qiu had finished picking.
Holy Doctor Niu was also shocked. He wanted to take the opportunity of picking Chinese Medicine herbs to train Fang Qiu, but he did not expect Fang Qiu to be so fast.
It only took him an hour to pick more than a thousand kinds of herbs?
This speed was too fast, wasn't it?
He was shocked.
"Since the picking is done, let's start the next step."
Holy Doctor Niu looked at Fang Qiu and said, "Next, I will say the herbs, and you take out the herbs I said."
"Sanqi."
Holy Doctor Niu did not hesitate and directly began to say the names of the herbs.
Fang Qiu immediately took out the Sanqi from the bamboo basket he had just asked for.
"Dendrobium."
After confirming that the Chinese Medicine herbs Fang Qiu took out were correct, Holy Doctor Niu said another kind of herbs.
Fang Qiu quickly took out the herbs.
"Wait."
As soon as the second herb was put down, Fang Qiu opened his mouth and said, "It's too slow to take out a thousand kinds of Chinese Medicine one by one."
"Well, I will put more than a thousand kinds of herbs in the order on this paper, and you can check them."
After saying that, he did it.
Without waiting for Holy Doctor Niu to agree.
Fang Qiu immediately began to put them in the order on the paper.
Just placing the medicinal herbs was much faster than picking them.
This was not.
Fang Qiu walked quickly and kept taking out the herbs from the bamboo basket and put them on the hillside facing this side of the Herb Courtyard.
In less than 15 minutes.
Fang Qiu put more than a thousand kinds of herbs in order.
Seeing this scene.
Holy Doctor Niu looked surprised.
After carefully observing from beginning to end, he found that there was nothing wrong with the Chinese Medicine herbs placed by Fang Qiu. They were all right!
"Well, not bad."
Holy Doctor Niu nodded with satisfaction.
"Have I passed the test?"
Fang Qiu asked with a smile.
"Passed what?"
Holy Doctor Niu was stunned and said, "It's just the beginning!"
Hearing that.
Fang Qiu was speechless.
He thought that from the conversation just now, Holy Doctor Niu's test should be this, but he didn't expect that Holy Doctor Niu's words were not reliable. It was just the beginning?
"In that case, let's continue."
Fang Qiu said with a wry smile.
"You have to concentrate on the next test."
Holy Doctor Niu nodded with a smile and said, "I will choose 100 kinds of herbs from these more than a thousand kinds of Chinese Medicine. I say one kind, and you tell me a processing method."
"Okay."
Fang Qiu immediately nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"The first kind, astragalus."
Holy Doctor Niu said.
"There are raw and cooked processing methods for astragalus."
Fang Qiu replied, "The first kind, astragalus tablets. Take the original herbs, remove impurities, wash them, moisturize them, cut them into thick slices, and dry them."
"The second kind, honey astragalus: take refined honey and dilute it with boiling water, add astragalus tablets, mix them well, and put them in a frying pan. Heat them with a gentle fire until they are dark yellow and not sticky to the hands. Take them out and let them cool. Astragalus tablets, for every 100 kilograms, use 25 kilograms of refined honey. "
Hearing that.
Holy Doctor Niu nodded with a smile and said, "The second kind, Panax notoginseng."
"The processing methods of Panax notoginseng are rarely recorded in historical documents, and there are three modern processing methods."
Fang Qiu said, "One: take the original herbs, remove impurities, and mash them when you use them."
"Two, powder of Panax notoginseng: take Panax notoginseng, wash it, dry it, and grind it into fine powder."
"Three, cooked Panax notoginseng: take clean Panax notoginseng, break it, divide it into large and small pieces, fry it with cooking oil until the surface is brownish yellow, take it out, drain the oil, cool it, and grind it into fine powder." Or take Panax notoginseng, wash it, steam it, take it out, slice it, and dry it. "
Holy Doctor Niu nodded as he listened.
After Fang Qiu finished, he said, "The third kind, Atractylodes macrocephala."
"There are many processing methods of Atractylodes macrocephala."
Fang Qiu replied, "In the Tang Dynasty, there were methods of boiling and stir-frying. In the Song Dynasty, there were methods of boiling, stir-frying, soaking rice swill, stir-frying bran after soaking, stir-frying with vinegar, simmering, baking, stir-frying, and soaking rice swill. "
"In the Yuan Dynasty, there were methods of stir-frying astragalus, dendrobium, oysters, and bran, each slightly yellow, and only the method of Atractylodes macrocephala was used."
"In the Ming Dynasty, there were also many methods of making auxiliary ingredients, such as honey stir-frying, water boiling, mung bean stir-frying, aconite, ginger, vinegar boiling, wine brewing, milk brewing, rice swill soaked and yellow, nine steaming and nine sun-drying, salt water stir-frying, noodles stir-frying, rice swill soaked and then steamed and sliced, honey water stir-frying, ginger juice stir-frying and other methods."
"In the Qing Dynasty, there were methods of stir-frying with citrus aurantium, stir-frying with water, steaming with wine, stir-frying with malt after soaking, stir-frying with water, stir-frying with perilla, stir-frying with mint, skullcap, and cinnamon in soup, steaming with honey, stir-frying with storage, stir-frying with tangerine peel, and so on."
Fang Qiu confidently said everything in his mind.
Then.
He continued to say, "At present, there are three modern processing methods."
"First: Take the original herbs, remove the impurities, separate them into small and big ones, moisten them with water, cut them into slices, dry them, and sift out the debris."
"The second method: Sauteed Atractylodes Macrocephala with clay: First, put the clay in the pot and heat it over medium heat. When it is flexible, put in the Atractylodes Macrocephala slices. When the surface of the Atractylodes Macrocephala is evenly covered with clay powder, take it out, sift out the clay powder, and cool it. For every 100 kilograms of Atractylodes tablets, use 25 kilograms of Hearth Clay. "
"The third type: Wheat Bran Stir-Fried Atractylodes Macrocephala: First, heat the pot with medium heat, sprinkle in the wheat bran, wait for the smoke to come out, put in the Atractylodes Macrocephala slices, keep stir-frying until the Atractylodes Macrocephala turns yellowish-brown, take it out, sift out the wheat bran, and cool it. For every 100 kilograms of atractylodes tablets, use 10 kilograms of wheat bran. "
Hearing Fang Qiu's answer.
Holy Doctor Niu widened his eyes and glanced at Fang Qiu in surprise.
He didn't expect that Fang Qiu could explain it in such detail. He even clearly told him the age and the processing method.
This made him very surprised.
"Not bad, let's continue."
Holy Doctor Niu nodded in satisfaction and continued to talk about medicinal herbs.
Over there.
Fang Qiu had no way to urge him, so he could only continue like this.
For a total of 100 medicinal herbs, he didn't finish all of them until the evening.
At night.
The herb garden was very cool.
The stars were also very bright in the night sky of Nanjiang.
"Very good."
When Fang Qiu told him the processing method of the 100th medicinal herb, Holy Doctor Niu nodded in satisfaction and looked at Fang Qiu, praising, "Your memory is good."
Fang Qiu smiled.
"Well, that's all for today. Take a rest first. Let's continue tomorrow."
Said Holy Doctor Niu.
"Ah?"
As soon as Fang Qiu heard this, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "There are more?"
"Hehe."
Holy Doctor Niu grinned and said, "These are all appetizers."
Fang Qiu felt bitter.
Helpless.
The right to ask questions was in the hands of Holy Doctor Niu. He had no choice but to do as he was told.
At night.
The other three holy doctors also learned the content of the assessment one after another.
Knowing that Fang Qiu had been fooled for a whole day as soon as he went there, the three holy doctors couldn't help sighing. This old guy was really ruthless!
