Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 57: Effective as a drum
While Fangyan was receiving acupuncture, at Gu Xiutang's house, Gu Siqi was standing in front of his grandfather Gu Xiutang, reciting aloud:

"Danggui 3 liang, Guizhi peeled 3 liang, Shaoyao 3 liang, Asarum 3 liang, Zhigancao 2 liang, Tongcao 2 liang, 25 jujubes broken open, use the ancient method to prepare the above seven ingredients, add 8 liters of water, boil and take 3 liters, remove the residue, take 1 liter warm, three times a day."

"Angelica nourishes and harmonizes the blood, warms and unclogs the blood vessels, and is the main medicine. Asarum helps cinnamon twig, white peony root nourishes blood and harmonizes the blood, and helps angelica to replenish the blood and blood, and are the assistant medicines. Tongcao unclogs the meridians and promotes blood circulation, and jujube and licorice invigorate qi, strengthen the spleen and nourish blood, and are the adjuvant medicines. This prescription nourishes blood and unclogs the meridians, is warm without being dry, and nourishes without being stagnant."

After finishing speaking, Gu Siqi looked at his grandfather, who nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Okay, okay, Siqi is indeed a genius. It only took him half an hour to memorize this recipe by heart."

When Gu Siqi heard his grandfather's praise, the pride on his face increased. He had a good memory since he was a child and could remember things taught to him very quickly. He had never seen anyone around him who was better than him. He could recite all the prescriptions in the ancient books in his grandfather's hands by heart. Now, it had only been half an hour since he got this prescription, but he remembered all the key points clearly.

Gu Xiutang was very satisfied with his grandson's performance. How could that little bastard named Fang compare to such a genius?
He said to his grandson Gu Siqi:

"This recipe comes from the seventh volume of Jinjing Neitai Fangyi, compiled by Xu Hong in the 20th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. Grandpa and several of your senior brothers were looking through the medical records of the hospital and found it in the medical records of the old director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital. He used this recipe to cure a similar patient back then."

Then he sighed:
"It's a pity that Grandpa has a lot of enemies over there, otherwise it would be better to let you work at the Chinese Medicine Hospital."

Gu Siqi shook his head. He didn't want to go to the Chinese medicine hospital. There would be too many people who could take care of him if he went in. It was better to go to a small place where there was no one to take care of him and no one to compare with him. It was not so tiring.

He immediately took over the conversation and said:
"Tong Ren Tang is not bad. They have fewer patients and less work, but the salary and benefits are not bad. As long as we can stand firm, it will not be much worse than a traditional Chinese medicine hospital."

Gu Xiutang nodded. Of course he knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the trouble to make arrangements.

He said to his grandson Gu Siqi:

"Remember this. You will use this prescription to treat that patient this afternoon. When you come to work with me tomorrow, tell the people in the store that the patient who couldn't be cured by the dialect is now yours."

"According to the medical records, the patient should be able to recover in three or four days at the least, or six or seven days at the most. As soon as the patient is well, you can take him to slap Fangyan in the face."

"Then let him know what the gap is."

Gu Siqi nodded upon hearing this:
"understood."

After that, he paused and asked:

"But... isn't this a bit too long?"

"Didn't we say before that we would give Fangyan a slap in the face the day you go to work?"

Listening to his grandson's words, Gu Xiutang smiled and waved his hands:
"Don't worry, Grandpa certainly hasn't forgotten what he said. This patient with hemiplegia is just one of the cases."

"In addition, I have prepared a patient with periodic fever for you. This will make the treatment more effective faster. If he can't be cured today, you can cure him in the afternoon. As long as the patient doesn't have a fever tonight, you can go and slap him in the face tomorrow."

Gu Siqi nodded. The blow Fangyan gave him before made him lose face in front of so many people. He was a person who cared most about face, and the thing he feared most was losing face.

What's more, he was embarrassed in front of several girls. This kind of thing made him feel uncomfortable whenever he thought about it. Now he couldn't wait to regain his face.

But at this time, Gu Xiutang paused and said:

"But patients with periodic fever are not particularly rare, so I'm not sure if it will be difficult for him. But even if he can cure the periodic fever, it will be useless if he can't cure the blood stasis of half-body sweating."

"So it was only a matter of time before he got hit in the face."

Hearing what Grandpa said, Gu Siqi frowned slightly, but finally nodded and said:

"I understand. Anyway, I will use the ancient Danggui Sini Decoction to cure the patient first."

... "Danggui Sini Decoction? Didn't I just say that it won't work?"

Inside the hall of Tongrentang, Fang Yan was directing Jia Dapeng to keep time while responding to the somewhat excited middle-aged doctor Wang Song.

Wang Song stopped pretending now. Not only did he admit that he was not the old man's son, he also admitted that he was Gu Xiutang's apprentice and that he had sent him here to cause trouble for Fang Yan.

Not only that, he also told Fang Yan the treatment prescription that Gu Xiutang planned to use because Fang Yan had just said that Danggui Sini Decoction was not effective.

Now he really wanted to know why Fangyan was so sure.

Wang Song emphasized:
"I'm talking about the ancient Danggui Sini Decoction. The method of making it is completely different from what we know now."

Fangyan waved his hand and said:
"I know you are talking about the ancient Danggui Sini Decoction in "Differentiation of Jueyin Disease Pulse Symptoms and Treatment" and "Jinjing Neitai Prescriptions and Rituals". The preparation methods are slightly different."

After hearing Fang Yan's explanation of the origin of the recipe, Wang Song was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this guy actually knew it.

He didn't know that after Fang Yan finished reading the books at home and blessed them all, he started reading the books in his master Lu Donghua's house. He happened to have read these books. In addition, the ancient method of Sini Decoction was not something very confidential. He knew about it in his previous life. He just didn't expect that in this era when information dissemination is slow, there are still people who regard this prescription as a winning magic weapon. Fang Yan was speechless.

He looked at Wang Song in astonishment, shook his head and said:
"It seems that you still don't want to believe it. This prescription uses pale tongue with white fur and weak pulse as the diagnosis points. It is used to treat blood clots, cold stagnation in the meridians, and blood stasis caused by blockage."

"You may even add Chuanduan, Achyranthes bidentata, Millettia reticulata, and papaya to increase the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and add Linderae odoratum, Fennel, Alpinia officinalis, and Cyperus rotundus to help regulate Qi. Am I right?"

"You..." Wang Song opened his mouth. He really hadn't thought about this addition and subtraction.

At this time Fang Yan wiped his hands with a towel and said to Wang Song:

"I forgot that you don't know how to add or subtract anything at will, but I know the recipe you mentioned."

"Again, it's useful for treating blood stasis, but it's useless for this old man."

Wang Song took a deep breath and asked:
"You mean, the prescription is taking a long time to work?"

"That's right." Fang Yan nodded.

Wang Song looked unconvinced. He had also read the medical records and knew that it would only take three to seven days for the treatment to be effective. He really couldn't understand why people spoke in dialect so slowly.

he asked:
"Then your recipe is fast, how fast is it?"

"The effect is as rapid as a drum." The dialect expresses the word used in traditional Chinese medicine to describe the immediate effect of treatment.

This means that the therapeutic effect is like picking up a drumstick and hitting a drum. It makes a sound as soon as you hit it, and the effect is immediate.

Generally speaking, in this situation, unless the dialectics are very correct, it is impossible to recover so quickly. Doctors who have this ability must be famous doctors.

And the young man in front of me, who is only 22 years old, dares to say this.

Just when Wang Song was stunned, the store manager Le Miao also came back.

She lifted the curtain at the back hall, stood at the door and said to Fang Yan:

"I've signed the prescription. You can use it now."
