"What should I do?"
Wang Yao asked. "Don't take the cold medicine," Wang Yao said.
"I'll prescribe another medicine for you," Wang Yao said.
He thought for a moment and prescribed a medicine to stop diarrhea and dispel cold.
"Stop the diarrhea first, then consider treating the cold. Otherwise, you can't take care of both."
"OK, thank you," Wang Yao said.
Half of the patients who came to see Wang Yao had gastrointestinal problems.
Summer was the season for gastrointestinal problems. It was hot, so people's eating habits had generally changed. They liked to eat cold drinks and ready-made food. However, food in the hot summer was easy to spoil. The ready-made food outside was not necessarily so hygienic. Many people were prone to diarrhea and other symptoms.
Wang Yao thought he could make some pills to treat gastrointestinal problems in summer. He had actually thought of this idea a few days ago, but there were not as many patients as there were these two days.
"Dr. Wang, do you take care of the air conditioner here?" a patient asked.
"No," Wang Yao said.
"No, how can it be so cool?" the patient asked in surprise.
"The ventilation is good," Wang Yao said.
The location of the clinic was assumed to be at a higher place in the mountain village. There was an open space in front of the clinic with no shelter. There was a house behind, but the foundation was lower than the clinic. Therefore, the ventilation was very good. Many plants were planted in the front of the clinic and the small courtyard. These plants had quite a wonderful effect. After the hot wind passed by them, it would cool down. Wang Yao also set up a battle array in the small courtyard, which also played a big role. In short, even if he did not use the air conditioner, his clinic was very cool. It could basically maintain a temperature of 25 or 26 degrees, which was the most suitable temperature for the human body.
"I think it's not as comfortable as your clinic with the air conditioner on."
At about 5 p.m., Wang Yao sent the last patient away.
Then, he began to think about the prescription for making the pills.
The purpose of the prescription was to regulate Qi, regulate the gastrointestinal tract, and clear away heat and stop diarrhea.
Dark plum, atractylodes atractylodes, codonopsis, perilla, licorice …
Wang Yao wrote the prescription and prepared the herbs at the foot of the mountain.
After dinner, he took the herbs up the mountain early.
Grinding and sifting was a repetitive process.
It took Wang Yao one night to grind all the medicines into powder. By the time he finished, it was already past 11 pm. Wang Yao washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, he woke up early and had a simple breakfast. Then, he began to make pills.
Medicinal powder.
Ancient spring water.
The medicine board was turned upside down.
Repeat,
Layer by layer.
The pill in the medicine tablet slowly grew from the size of a rice grain to the size of a soybean. Then, it was complete.
The method Wang Yao used to make the pill was the simplest and most primitive method. He didn't wrap it with honey, so the appearance was a lot worse, but the effect was definitely not bad.
In just one morning, he had made less than a hundred pills and placed them in a few bottles.
In the afternoon, the clinic opened. Two patients came in, but they had summer headaches.
"What do you do for a living?" Looking at the two women in their forties, their faces were red from the sun.
"I'm working with the construction team. I'm tying up steel bars," the woman said.
"You're still working outside at this time?"
"Well, there's a lot of money at this time," the woman said.
Yes, at this time, they could earn more than 200 yuan a day. Because it was hot, no one would do such work. The contractors couldn't hire anyone. They had no choice but to raise the salary to solve the problem.
"You're sick because you're tired," Wang Yao said.
In such a hot day, it was okay to work under the sun for one or two days, but the two people had been working for more than 10 days. Wang Yao looked at the weather forecast almost every day. He remembered that it was a hot day recently. At the highest point, the temperature outside at noon was nearly 40 degrees. According to the relevant requirements, outdoor work was prohibited above 40 degrees. However, the contractors of construction projects generally didn't consider these things, especially in a small county like theirs. Who would supervise this? As long as people didn't die from the heat, it was fine. It was more important to meet the deadline.
"You need to rest. In such a hot season, try to avoid outdoor work as much as possible," Wang Yao said.
"Don't you need to take medicine?"
"You don't need to take medicine or injections." Wang Yao smiled. In fact, what the two people in front of him needed most now was rest. Of course, they could eat some fruits such as watermelon to relieve the heat.
The two of them left doubtfully.
Not long after they left the door, the two of them received a call from the contractor, asking them to go to the construction site quickly.
Thinking about what Wang Yao had said, they chose to refuse.
"Now you can earn 200 yuan a day at the cost of your health. In the future, you may spend 10, 100, or even 1,000 times more money to treat your illness."
Many people did this in exchange for wealth with their health, but most of them regretted it later.
Sometimes, the world was like this.
"Let's go home and rest." This was their final decision.
They were indeed tired.
"Fortunately, he wants cash," one of the women said.
If it was in the past, the contractor might threaten them with their salary, but in this situation, they generally needed cash when they worked outside.
Three patients in the afternoon.
Near evening, the weather suddenly became very hot and sultry. There was not much wind in the mountain village.
"The weather forecast said that there will be heavy rain tonight. You have to be careful on the mountain!" Zhang Xiuying was worried.
"I know, Mom. Don't worry," Wang Yao said.
Even if it was a heavy rain, nothing would happen on Nanshan Hill.
There were so many trees and such low peaks. What could happen?
The rain started at around 8 p.m. At the beginning, it was not heavy. In the second half of the night, it became heavier and heavier. It began to thunder in the sky.
Rumble!
Rumble!
It was raining.
Wang Yao lay in bed, quietly listening to the rain outside.
The next day, the rain showed no signs of stopping.
There was more water on the mountain. The reservoir at the foot of the mountain was quickly filled with water. Then, it flowed down the mountain through the flood channel.
Because there were so many trees on the mountain, the water was very clear after being filtered.
It was raining so heavily. Naturally, no one came to see the doctor. Therefore, Wang Yao was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. Instead, he sorted out the prescriptions on the mountain.
"Sanyang powder."
"Primordial spirit soup."
"Nine herbs pill."
…
These were all medicines that could be made without the use of licorice roots.
They were also medicines that would be mass-produced after the pharmaceutical factory was built in the future.
Woof! Woof! The dog outside suddenly barked.
"What's wrong, San Xian?"
Wang Yao went out the door.
The rain falling from the sky was swept away by an invisible barrier about a foot away from his body.
