In the side room.
As soon as Li Zexuan spoke, everyone was shocked.
Everyone in the room looked at him. Cheng Yaojin hurriedly ran over and grabbed Li Zexuan's shoulder. He said hurriedly, "Why didn't you say you had a way earlier? Your Uncle Qin and I are like brothers. I usually treat you like a nephew. How can you bear to see your Uncle Qin suffer from injuries? "
Li Zexuan explained, "Uncle Cheng, my method may not be easy to use. That's why I asked Priest Sun to study it together."
Sun Simiao stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Li Zexuan. "Oh? Little Xuan, you know medicine? "
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "I don't know medicine, but my master is very good at it."
Sun Simiao asked curiously, "May I ask who your master is?"
When they were in Mount Zhongnan, Li Zexuan only told Sun Simiao that he was weak and sickly when he was young. Later, he went to Mount Longhu to find a master. He didn't say who his master was.
Cheng Yaojin said, "His master is Spiritual Master Lingxu. Doctor Sun must have heard of him."
Sun Simiao said in surprise, "It's actually Senior Lingxu. I'm very impressed by his medical skills. Little Xuan, did you learn his medical skills? "
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Master only taught me martial arts when he was alive. He didn't teach me medicine. Master said that I was still young and shouldn't bite off more than I can chew."
Sun Simiao shook his head with regret. "That's a pity. Oh, Little Xuan, you said that you have a way to treat General Qin's illness. Tell me what it is. "
Li Zexuan saw everyone looking at him and said, "Everyone must have heard of the Immortal Drunken Wine that's been popular in Chang 'an recently?"
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Of course we've heard of it. But now we're talking about treatment. Why are you talking about this?"
The rest of the people were also puzzled.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "The method I'm talking about is to mix some herbs used to treat internal injuries with strong alcohol according to a certain ratio. Then, it will be used both internally and externally. I think it will have a very good effect on Uncle Qin's old injuries."
Sun Simiao twirled his beard and smiled, "Little Xuan, aren't you talking about medicinal wine? I already have this thing, but I don't think this medicinal wine can cure General Qin's illness. "
The appearance of medicinal wine can be traced back to ancient times. In addition to "wine", "wine", "wine", there was also "wine". Black millet was used as the raw material for brewing wine, and tulip grass (also a type of Chinese medicine) was added to brew it. This was the earliest medicinal wine recorded in written records.
However, it was worth emphasizing that most of the medicinal wines in ancient times were made from medicinal herbs. They were fermented together with the raw materials used to make wine. It was different from the soaking method that was commonly used in later generations. The main reason might be that the alcohol content of the wine in ancient times was relatively low. It was not easy to store, and the immersion method could easily lead to the deterioration of the wine.
The use of wine decoction and wine immersion began at least in the Han Dynasty.
What Li Zexuan was talking about was precisely the use of extremely high concentration spirits and the immersion method to make medicinal wine.
Hearing Sun Simiao's denial, Li Zexuan explained with a smile, "Daoist Sun, the medicinal wine this kid is talking about is brewed with extremely high concentration spirits. My master said before his death that the stronger the spirit used to brew medicinal wine, the better the final effect of the medicinal wine.
Because the various active ingredients of medicinal herbs are easily dissolved in strong spirits, the medicinal wine uses the strength of the spirit and the spirit to fully display its efficacy and enhance its efficacy. Moreover, my master was troubled by his illness a few years ago. He left behind a medicinal wine prescription that can be taken orally and used externally. It can completely cure old injuries. As for whether it can cure Uncle Qin's illness, this kid is not too sure.
A few days ago, after this kid finished arranging the matters of the winery, I personally concentrated several liters of high concentration spirits and concocted two bottles of medicinal wine according to the prescription left behind by my master. This kid came in a hurry today and forgot to bring them. I'll have to trouble Uncle Qin to send a servant to my house to fetch them. "
What Li Zexuan said was not nonsense. In fact, the alcohol concentration needed to concoct medicinal wine should be above 50%. According to modern scientific knowledge, alcohol is a good semi-polar organic solvent. The various organic ingredients of medicinal herbs were easily dissolved in alcohol, but not in water.
However, it was impossible to produce such strong alcohol in ancient times. Therefore, medicinal wine in ancient times was mainly nourishing.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, prolonged illness would lead to a deficiency of vital energy and blockage of the meridians. Therefore, various chronic diseases often had different degrees of blockage of vital energy and blood and blockage of the meridians. Medicinal wine mainly nourished the vital energy and nourished the body. At the same time, the wine itself had the effect of refreshing and warming the body.
As for the medicinal wine prescription that Li Zexuan mentioned, it was a prescription that his father often used in his previous life. When his father was young, he had a wild temperament. He had learned martial arts from several martial arts masters. Later on, after two years of learning, he began to wander around. His traveling expenses were all earned by his street acrobatics and magic tricks.
At that time, Xin Zhong had just been established for more than ten years. Street acrobatics were still very common.
Later on, after his father got married, his temperament gradually stabilized and he began to earn money to support the family. However, as he grew older, the internal injuries from his martial arts training and acrobatics when he was young began to flare up. His father found a prescription from somewhere and made his own medicinal wine. He found that it was quite effective, so he persevered until he was young.
However, later on, Li Zexuan had to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. Therefore, Li Zexuan had a deep impression of the prescription.
On the day that Han Yuxi mixed the wine at his house, Li Zexuan successfully purified white wine for the first time. After Han Yuxi left, he distilled a portion of the purified wine several times. Li Zexuan estimated that the wine was at least 60% alcohol.
Then, he asked someone to get the medicine according to the prescription and made two bottles of medicinal wine. He thought that if Sun Simiao couldn't cure Qin Shubao's illness, he would take it out and try it. It was a desperate attempt, wasn't it?
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she said excitedly, "Xiaoxuan, are you serious?"
Qin Shubao's expression also changed slightly. He said it so indifferently before just to comfort his wife. However, if there was a chance to be healthy, who would be willing to be a sickly person every day?
Li Zexuan nodded affirmatively.
Mrs. Qin immediately went out and ordered the servants to get the medicinal wine from the Li Family.
Cheng Yaojin's face was full of excitement. He stepped forward and patted Li Zexuan's shoulder with all his strength, shouting, "Good boy, it turns out that you're already prepared. If your Uncle Qin's illness is cured this time, both the Qin and Cheng families will remember your kindness and will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."
Li Zexuan hurriedly said, "Uncle Cheng, what are you talking about? Uncle Qin is a great general of the Tang Empire and has made great contributions to the Tang Empire. Every citizen of the Tang Empire hopes that a hero like Uncle Qin will live a long life. Besides, I don't know if my medicinal wine will work. "
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Since it's the prescription left by Spiritual Master Ling Xu, I believe it will work."
Li Zexuan secretly cursed. Cheng Yaojin was too excited. How could he praise another doctor in front of a doctor?
Fortunately, Sun Simiao was not a narrow-minded person. He himself also admired Spiritual Master Ling Xu's medical skills.
At this time, Sun Simiao said, "Xiaoxuan, since you haven't brought back the medicinal wine, can you write down the prescription for me?"
He was also eager to find out. When he heard that the prescription was left by Spiritual Master Ling Xu, he wanted to find out.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "I was just about to ask Taoist Sun to help me look at it in detail so that I don't remember wrongly and make mistakes."
