Chapter 275 Ginseng

   One lesson, 1,862 herbs.

  The speaker is without scruples, and the listeners are completely intoxicated.

   In the face of such a lecture and lecture, Chen Zhihe, who was an "auditor", was stunned and confused.

  Looking at the way the master and apprentice take it for granted, they used to come here often?

Chen Zhihe really guessed right. At first, Lao Zhang gave Xu Guangling a lecture, and the content was not large, but since Xu Guangling's comprehension was discovered, the speed of his lectures has been accelerating, and when Xu Guangling was confirmed later. After that, Zhang Lao gave lectures again. In many cases, the content of that class was amazing.

   At least, it can be called shocking.

   Just like this, Chen Zhihe, who was not very "vulgar", was just as shocked, and then full of confusion. ——Look at this master and apprentice!

   After class in the study room, gossip in the living room.

   The topic is about the artificial cultivation of medicinal herbs in China. This time, Chen Zhihe found a place to use it and talked freely. At this moment, Vice President Chen's demeanor finally showed a little bit, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll keep suffocating.

   is actually not suffocating.

   Rather.

   in their small group of four.

  On medicine, Zhang Lao generation, martial arts, Chen Lao generation, learning and growth progress, there is an alien here.

   As an "ordinary person", Chen Zhihe couldn't stand it at all.

   I only feel as small as dust.

   And the most terrible thing is that this insignificance has been getting worse as time goes on. Chen Zhihe felt that he was getting smaller and smaller, so small that he could hardly be found.

  Really, if he hadn't been ordered to stay by the old man, Vice President Chen would only stay for three or five days at most, and he would definitely return.

  This small building is not a place for him to stay.

   After the gossip was over, when he went back, Xu Guangling took a copy of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" in his hand.

   The latest annotated version of Zhang Lao.

   This day's course is regarded as a general introduction to medicine, or an introduction, a general introduction, anyway, that is what it means, and from the second day, Zhang Lao started to talk about individual herbs in detail.

   And the first herb is ginseng.

   Because of the ginseng sweet potato yam vermicelli, and because he was popularized by Jia Gongzi before, Xu Guangling still knew a little about ginseng.

   Especially when it comes to understanding the properties of ginseng, it is not “some” that can be defined.

   But who is Zhang Lao?

  Although the old man said that he was good at acupuncture, not medicine, but judging from the relevant annotations in Shennong's Materia Medica that Xu Guangling saw yesterday, the so-called old man is not good at it, maybe it is not like acupuncture, which is the best for thousands of years?

   Or is it just that you lost to yourself?

   Today anyway.

  The old man started from ginseng and from Changbai Mountain.

   First, he talked about the geographical environment, outline and altitude of Changbai Mountain, as well as climate, temperature and humidity, etc., and then from the landscape and climate to the vegetation.

   And after these two, came the special plant "ginseng".

   Then, the props came on stage.

   A 660 year old ginseng that the old man once dug up by himself.

   This is not a thing.

  The problem is, after the story, the old man took this old mountain ginseng as a sample and took Xu Guangling to understand the medicinal properties of ginseng.

   Not to mention Chen Zhihe, even Xu Guangling was surprised, "Teacher, don't you need this?"

   It’s not that this ginseng is precious.

   Well, it is indeed very precious, but for the elderly, it should not be worth mentioning, but this is obviously a ginseng with a rather commemorative nature. Use it in an ordinary teaching presentation?

   This is no longer a simple waste of words to describe.

   "It will be used sooner or later, do you want my old man to take it down to the ground?"

   "You are my close disciple, you don't need to use it on you, where else would you use it?"

   The old man's two indifferent sentences ended his dissent on this point.

   also made Chen Zhi and this "non-closed disciple" feel sour in their stomachs.

  Teacher, they are both disciples, how can this difference in treatment be able to achieve such nirvana? However, looking at the younger junior and younger brother beside him, the future "great master", Chen Zhihe's imbalance in his heart quickly rebalanced.

   So, next.

   right in the backyard.

  Head, tail, whiskers, upper middle and lower part, epidermis, outer side, inner side, core, sliced, milled, whole piece.

   Soaked in water, boiled in water, steamed in water, soaked in wine, boiled in wine, steamed in wine, dry-dried, roasted with honey…

   Xu Guangling was like this, he took the first class on the preliminary treatment of medicinal materials.

   Of course, as a medicinal material, this ginseng was not wasted, and was eventually eaten by four people.

For ordinary people, the absorption of medicinal materials is very slow, because many of the active ingredients of medicinal materials belong to macromolecules, and "indigestion" is one of its characteristics. It talked about the "nine steaming and nine systems" in the processing of medicinal materials.

   "Initially, a great doctor should have found that some medicinal materials are difficult to be effectively absorbed after ordinary cooking. Therefore, they may try to steam them once more."

   "This attempt has opened up a new world of medicinal material processing."

"The so-called nine steaming nine system, this 'nine' does not represent the exact number nine, but just means more, more than one time, specifically, it may be two, three or four times, or five, six, seven or eight times, of course. Maybe more or less, nine times."

   "The nine-steam method is applied in two ways."

   "One is the degradation of some indigestible medicines, and the other is the elimination of certain toxic medicines."

   "This is a method of treating medicinal materials that is simple in theory but very complicated in practice. There are many specific details, which cannot be done by non-major doctors."

   "If it wasn't for a great doctor, one would either carve a boat for a sword, or make a stick of rubber, or become a ghost, or be in vain, or be counterproductive, or mislead oneself and mislead others."

  Xu Guangling nodded in understanding.

   The "great doctor" here is probably the one who mastered the Shennong Secret Art, or the old man and Chen Lao. In short, after tasting it, you can know the effect of the medicine.

  Only on this basis can we truly grasp this method.

   After talking about this, the old man started acupuncture for several people and himself, in order to make the ginseng liquid he just drank absorb quickly.

   This is a special set of stitches.

   As the successor of acupuncture and moxibustion, and also as a master of medicine from the "nurture", this set of acupuncture of the old man is called "one of the gadgets with more experience" by the old man himself.

   Before, the old man had taught it to Xu Guangling.

   But today's stitches are slightly different.

   "Humble words, after reading your acupuncture for the past two days, Wei Shi has made some minor changes to this acupuncture method. Would you give Wei Shi any advice?"

  Chen Zhihe was stunned again.

  Teacher asked the younger brother to give him advice?

this……

this!

After   acupuncture, the three started to walk in the open sky step in the courtyard, while Xu Guangling practiced the eight-style Sanshou, and then was watched by the three people who finished the open sky step.

After    practice, Xu Guangling said to Chen Zhihe: "Senior brother, if you don't dislike it, I will also teach you a form of Sanshou, which may be of little use to you now."
