Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 87: Preparing Pig's Hoof

"I see..." Meng Jimin nodded, took out a pen and quickly added Fang Yan's words on the prescription.

Fangyan continued:

"Among them, Bombyx Batryticatus and Cicada Shell are assistant drugs, which have the effects of relieving spasms and pain, and clearing wind and relaxing collaterals. Millettia Spatholobi and Uncaria Rhynchophylla are adjuvant drugs. All the drugs are used together to replenish qi and dredge collaterals, relieve pain and numbness, and directly reach the site of the disease."

After Meng Jimin wrote it down, he raised his head and said to Fang Yan:

"To be honest, I plan to use this recipe to treat patients who have suffered a long-term stroke."

“I feel like this recipe should be effective.”

Fangyan thought about it, remembered the original medicine in the prescription, and added:

"If you want to use this prescription on patients who have suffered a stroke for a very long time, you need to add another medicine."

"What medicine?" Meng Jimin stopped writing and looked at Fang Yan.

"Prepared pig's hoof." said Fangyan.

Hearing the words in dialect, Meng Jimin scratched his head and asked:
"Is there any explanation for this?"

"If I remember correctly, it can dissipate phlegm and calm asthma, remove toxins and promote tissue regeneration. It is used to treat cough and asthma, intestinal carbuncle, hemorrhoid fistula, hernia, baldness, and frostbite."

The dialect said:

"This can actually reduce swelling and carbuncle, and relieve wind and activate meridians."

Meng Jimin was startled, frowned and asked:

"Dr. Fang tried it?"

Fangyan nodded:
"I've tried it, it works, but the preparation method is different."

"The common method on the market is to soak it in wine for half a day and then roast it until it is charred."

"To prepare this pig's hoof, you must first wash it with hot alkaline water, then dry it, and then stir-fry it in sand heated over high heat until it swells up and the surface turns golden or brown. Then take it out and sieve out the sand, then soak it in vinegar while it's still hot, take it out and dry it, and finally crush it."

In fact, the prepared pig's hoof nail has this effect. It was discovered before Fangyan traveled through time, when he was about to graduate. When this effect was discovered, it caused quite a stir.

It was the first time that Meng Jimin had heard of this method of preparation, but he quickly realized that this was a secret recipe spoken in dialect.

As he said this, he picked up the pen and started writing quickly.

"Understood. I will ask our hospital pharmacy to make a batch according to this method right away."

Fangyan nodded and said:

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Fang Yan didn't persuade him to have it prepared at Tong Ren Tang, because Fang Yan believed that he would definitely supervise the production himself and would check the results after the preparation.

Meng Jimin picked up the freshly brewed tea, blew on it, took a sip, and said to Fang Yan:

"I have benefited a lot today. This recipe and the method of preparing the medicinal materials alone would have been worth a lot of money before liberation."

"Even if I sell it at Concord Hospital, I'm sure I can get a lot of money. I feel a little embarrassed that you just give it to me like this."

Having said this, he paused, and then said solemnly:

"But don't worry, as long as this recipe is useful, I will report it to my superiors immediately, and I will definitely not treat your contribution unfairly."

Dialect waving hands:
"That's all in the future. As long as I can cure the patient, that's better than anything else."

This prescription was originally from a master of traditional Chinese medicine, and Fang Yan had never really thought about using it to make a profit.

If he really wanted to, he could just copy out a copy of "The Complete Collection of Prescriptions by National Medical Masters" and sell it for a lot of money.

If you want to sell it, you have to sell the old ones that have not been released to the market, or the ones developed by the Japanese and Koreans.

These prescriptions from traditional Chinese medicine masters can be used to cure diseases and save lives. It's not that Fangyan is too chaste, but mainly because he has many ways to make money, and there are not many places where money can be spent before it is changed.

There is a saying that goes, "Poverty breeds evil schemes, while wealth breeds conscience."

As long as he could have enough food and clothing, he would rather use other people's prescriptions to help patients rather than sell them at high prices.

If he were in poverty now and couldn't even afford to eat at home, Fangyan would definitely not have so many moral obsessions and would not hesitate to sell the things to buy food.

People should do what they are supposed to do in their positions. I believe that as long as they are not extremely evil, they will still be willing to light a lamp for others when they are doing well themselves.

Hearing Fang Yan say this, Meng Jimin also admired him:
"It is true that doctors are kind-hearted. Doctor Fang is really admirable."

"If I were facing this situation, I don't think I could be as carefree as Doctor Fang."

Fangyan waved his hand, telling Meng Jimin to stop praising him.

Meng Jimin smiled and changed the subject:

"By the way, I heard earlier that Doctor Fang was a disciple of Teacher Lu. Now it seems that these prescriptions are not from the same style as Teacher Lu. I guess he must have another master."

The dialect said:

"I learned a little bit from the locals when I went to the countryside. It can't be considered as a disciple."

"Doctor Meng is a disciple of the famous doctor Master Zhu, and learned his famous insect medicine method, which is really enviable."

Meng Jimin laughed and said:

"Hahaha, I also had an elder in my family who happened to know the teacher, so I was lucky enough to become his disciple. Although I am dull, thankfully the master didn't give up on me, so I learned some minor skills."

Fangyan didn't believe what he said. This guy was able to work in Dongzhimen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so he was definitely not a mediocre person.

Speaking of Zhu Liangchun, Meng Jimin suddenly remembered something and said:
"By the way, my master will also be coming to Beijing in a few days. Our hospital has invited him to see patients for a few days. If Doctor Fang is interested, he can come to our hospital to see my master. He can also take a look at the patients treated by your prescriptions."

Hearing this, Fangyan immediately became interested:

"Master Zhu is going to see patients in the hospital?"

Meng Jimin also noticed that Fang Yan was moved, and nodded with a smile:
"Well, he finally came here, and he didn't plan to be idle, so he will do expert consultation for a few days."

Now Zhu Liangchun has been famous for many years and knows how to use insect medicine in his dialect. He believes that the other party will definitely want to meet his master.

In fact, Fangyan is more about thinking about systemic matters.

If I could get some guidance from Zhu Liangchun on his experience in using insect medicine, it would be like I had mastered a new way of treating diseases.

In addition, this was the first national doctor. He had passed away when I was studying. After learning about his life, I admired him very much.

Being able to see living people at this time is like being able to see his idol alive with his own eyes for Fang Yan.

So he said to Meng Jimin:
"Master Zhu is coming, so I have to take leave to go and see him."

Hearing Fang Yan's words, Meng Jimin smiled and said to Le Miao beside him:

"Ledian, you must approve my leave when the time comes!"

After hearing this, Le Miao smiled and said:
"Sure, no problem."

"I'll go take a look when the time comes. Fang Yan and I will go together and bring some gifts to Mr. Zhu."

Fangyan didn't expect that Le Miao was also planning to go.

When Meng Jimin heard this, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said:

"Look at me, I almost forgot that your family and Master's family are old friends."

"Then you should go."
