Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 973 Two tablets and a bottle of Moutai: Pien Tze Huang, postgraduate program enrollment (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader [Guagua Gui])
Instead of answering the question, Fang Yan said:

"Open your mouth, let me see your tongue."

The child glanced at his older brother.

Mr. Mai said to him:
"Why are you looking at me? Just do as the doctor says!"

The child had no choice but to do as instructed, opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue for the dialect to observe.

This tongue is quite interesting; it looks much smaller than a normal tongue.

Although it is related to his age, his proportions, according to traditional Chinese medicine, indicate a thin tongue.

Moreover, the tongue is red and the coating is dry and white.

Fang Yan had basically determined what the other person's problem was by now, but just to be on the safe side, Fang Yan still asked him to extend his hand so that he could feel the pulse in both his left and right hands.

The pulse is deep, wiry, and slippery.

Considering his thin and bony appearance, Fang Yan finally came to a conclusion.

“He is indeed sick.” Fang Yan released the child’s wrist and turned to Mr. Mai.

The other person's expression changed drastically: "What illness?"

"In traditional Chinese medicine, this kind of yandere is called 'Shiyi,' and it was first recorded in the book 'Suwen,'" Fang Yan explained.

After a pause, Fang Yan continued:
"The characteristic of this disease is that people eat a lot but cannot gain weight."

The Suwen Qi Jue Lun states, "The large intestine transfers heat to the stomach, causing one to eat well but become thin, and this is called eating too much." The Suwen Qi Bing Lun also mentions that excessive consumption of rich and fatty foods can lead to the accumulation of internal heat, eventually developing into diabetes.

"This is due to dryness and heat in the stomach, intestines, and gallbladder, which prevents the proper distribution of essential nutrients from food."

"The combined effects of gallbladder heat scorching body fluids and stomach fire causing a pathological state of 'excessive hunger' means that although he eats a lot, the nutrients are consumed by abnormal metabolism and cannot nourish his body."

After speaking in dialect, he added:
"To put it bluntly, the root cause of the disease lies in the dryness and heat in the stomach, intestines, and gallbladder. It is necessary to clear the heat and moisturize the dryness in time, otherwise it will develop into what Western medicine calls diabetes."

Mr. Mai didn't understand much of what came before, but he understood the word "diabetes" at the end.

He asked in dialect:

"Isn't diabetes something that only adults can get?"

The dialect explanation is as follows:
"It's not just adults; some minors can also become diabetic due to genetics or diet."

After speaking in dialect, he began to prescribe medicine.

生石膏45g、知母12g、甘草6g、陈仓米30g、石斛15g、天花粉15g、士茵陈15g、天冬15g、佩兰10g。

When Li Zhengji and the others saw it, they were shocked to discover that it was still Baihu Tang (White Tiger Soup).
Although it differs somewhat from Baekhyun's earlier version, the core essence is still Baekhyun Soup.

After opening it, Fang Yan said to Mr. Mai:
"Next, he just needs to take the medicine according to this prescription, but he should avoid fried, spicy, and sweet foods, reduce his intake of high-calorie snacks, and eat lily porridge, white fungus and lotus seed soup, which are moisturizing foods. As long as he follows this, his constipation and dry mouth should disappear in about three to five days."

"Once he stops feeling so hungry after drinking the medicine, we'll switch to Eight-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill. He has a severe Yin deficiency, so once the heat subsides, we'll move on to the Yin-nourishing stage."

Mr. Mai asked curiously:

"No need for hospitalization?"

“Yes, no need to be hospitalized.” Fang Yan nodded.

After speaking in dialect, he tore off the prescription and handed it to the other person:

"Here's the prescription, please keep it safe! Get it ready at the hospital and the hotel can help you prepare it."

"The decoction method is also written down above."

Mr. Mai took the order and said:

"Thank you, Dr. Fang."

Fang Yan smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"You are welcome."

He even specifically instructed:
"But remember, Baihu Tang is a very cold medicine. Long-term use will damage the spleen and stomach. If you don't want to eat after drinking it, you must stop. There is no such thing as consolidation. To consolidate, you need to use Bawei Dihuang Wan later."

Upon hearing the dialect, Mr. Mai nodded seriously.

He then handed the prescription to his assistant and asked her to go to the Peking Union Medical College Pharmacy to buy the medicine, including the Eight-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill.

The assistant took it and left immediately.

At this moment, Mr. Mai handed over a box, placed it on Fang Yan's table, and said:

"I didn't bring anything with me when I came, but this is a specialty from my hometown... Pien Tze Huang."

Fang Yan looked at the contents of the box and asked:

"Are you from Zhangzhou, Fujian?"

Mr. Mai nodded.

The dialect suddenly became clear.

Pien Tze Huang is a precious traditional Chinese medicine, known as a national treasure. It has a long history and unique efficacy. It originated in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (around 1555). Originally a secret recipe of the imperial court, it was later introduced to the people due to changes in the court. It was produced by "Xinyuan Tea House" in Zhangzhou, Fujian (the predecessor of Pien Tze Huang Pharmaceutical). It has a history of more than 400 years.

The name "Pian Zai Huang" means "pill" in Chinese, "zai" in Chinese means "small" in dialect, and "huang" in Chinese refers to swelling and pain caused by heat and toxicity. Hence the name "Pian Zai Huang", which means "a small piece can relieve huang".

It is a top-secret Chinese medicine formula, on par with Yunnan Baiyao, and its formula and process are permanently kept secret by the state.

Traditional production techniques are classified as "state secrets" and are strictly prohibited from being disclosed to the public.

The dialect knows that Pien Tze Huang is made from four kinds of precious Chinese medicinal herbs, but the specific proportions are kept secret.

It contains natural musk, natural bezoar, snake gall, and Panax notoginseng.

This formula focuses on clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and removing blood stasis, and also has the effects of reducing swelling and relieving pain, and protecting the liver.

In later generations, some people deliberately exaggerated its efficacy and hyped it up for a period of time. It was already expensive, but after the hype, it became even more ridiculously expensive.

2.4 pills of Pien Tze Huang cost only the price of one bottle of Moutai.

Therefore, people in the dialect have a very deep impression of this medicine.

Hearing those three words makes me feel like I'm hearing money ringing.

This box contained quite a lot of items.

At that time, a single Pien Tze Huang pill cost more than two yuan.

Even today, they would be worth a lot of money, and most people couldn't buy that many because production was limited.

Even if this box of dialect notes were given to Peking Union Medical College Hospital at a fair price, it would still fetch a considerable sum of money.

Of course, he didn't plan to pay the hospital for the time being. "Mr. Mai, you've gone to so much trouble!" Fang Yan said to Mr. Mai.

Giving a doctor medicinal herbs is generally unlikely to impress them unless the herbs are very rare.

So, Fang Yan really likes the gift Mr. Mai gave her.

Mr. Mai was pleased to see that Fang Yan had accepted the gift, and said to Fang Yan:

"I'm glad Dr. Fang likes it."

Fang Yan nodded:
"Of course, this is a good thing; it can save lives in critical moments."

It has many benefits:
It can be used to treat acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc., and to help improve pain in the liver area and abnormal liver function.

It can also be used as an adjunct therapy for malignant tumors such as liver cancer, lung cancer, and stomach cancer, which can improve symptoms and enhance quality of life.

In addition, it can relieve redness, swelling, heat and pain in cases of oral and maxillofacial infections, mastitis, cellulitis, etc.

Postoperative recovery promotes wound healing and reduces postoperative inflammatory response.

Finally, it can also help with hangovers and protect the liver, alleviating liver damage caused by drinking.

Moreover, it works very quickly, and you could say that its only drawback is its high price.

I just don't know how Mr. Mai got so many?

It's like having a collecting obsession.

Of course, if they don't speak, and it's not easy to ask in dialect, these wealthy businessmen have their own channels.

For example, if someone goes home and donates something, it's normal for the local government to give them some local specialties as a token of gratitude.

That concludes today's consultations.

Mr. Mai's medicine didn't need to be decocted; his assistant quickly brought it back from the pharmacy.

Then Mr. Mai said goodbye to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan saw him to the door, and only returned to the consultation room after he left.

At this moment, Li Zhengji and the others were looking at Baekhyun's medical records from before.

"It's actually a strong one!" Li Zhengji exclaimed in surprise.

Yan Yifan said:
"Brother Fang, I'll write down his prescription."

"You want some too?" Fang Yan asked Yan Yifan.

Yan Yifan blushed slightly and said:
"I wrote this down for my friend."

“…” The others were speechless.

"This prescription may not be suitable for your friend," Fang Yan reminded him.

Yan Yifan said:
"Don't worry, Brother Fang, I'm confident in this regard. As long as I reduce the amount and control the frequency of drinking the medicinal wine, there shouldn't be any problems."

Upon hearing his words, everyone turned to look at Yan Yifan.

Yan Yifan defended himself:

"Don't look at me like that! It really wasn't me, it was my friend!"

"Think about it, my wife is still in Tianjin. Even if I brew it and drink it, it's useless, right?"

He said in dialect:

"Oh, okay then, just don't drink too much."

She then handed him the prescription.

Yan Yifan happily accepted it.

Speaking in dialect:

"Don't worry!"

Those around were taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

This kid even said it wasn't him who used it; he just let it slip.

"It's alright. Even if you get euthanasia, Brother Fang still has some ready-made Baihu Tang (a traditional Chinese medicine) waiting for you," Li Zhengji patted Yan Yifan on the shoulder and reminded him.

Yan Yifan then realized what was happening and immediately offered a very embarrassed explanation.

Everyone burst into laughter again.

……

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Fang Yan examined all the overseas Chinese businessmen in this group. The later overseas Chinese businessmen all had relatively mild but rather strange illnesses. In fact, after a clear diagnosis, they did not need to be hospitalized for treatment.

Some traditional Chinese medicine formulas can solve the problem.

Most of the time, the most difficult part of traditional Chinese medicine is actually diagnosis.

There is a lot of ancient texts and experience to support the treatment of specific symptoms, so it is actually relatively easy to prescribe the right medicine.

The problem is that it might be impossible to clearly distinguish between different perspectives.

In addition, some people were discharged from the hospital a few days ago, including not only overseas Chinese businessmen from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, but also people from Dajin.

After he was discharged from the hospital, he couldn't stay at the school anymore. The Vietnamese students at the school now see him as a thorn in their side, so after Fang Yan picked him up from the hospital, he sent him to Lao Hu's factory.

These past few days I've been having him work in Chaoyang Dongba.

There are also newly built staff quarters over there. Although they are just simple red brick houses, Da Jin is still very satisfied and has brought his wife and children there.

Today, Fang Yan also heard that the graduate program at the school has been finalized.

Registration is at the end of April, the exam is in May, and the results are released in early June. From registration to the exam, there is only a little over a month to prepare.

But now a problem has arisen: because of the secret recipe research institute, Fang Yan is already the director of the institute, which is like me not even having taken the exam yet, but already being a school leader...

PS: Thank you to reader [Guagua Gui] for the generous donation! Wishing you good health!

As agreed, each alliance leader owes five chapters; this is currently the fourth chapter.
