The Persian carpets of the Western Market were laid on the green stone slabs, and the camel caravan of the spice merchants had just turned the corner, when the tip of Lin Xiaoman's nose was wrapped in the scent of cinnamon and frankincense. Li Chengqian carrying yew wood medicine box walking in front, waist jade pendant bumped on the store's copper bell, jingling sound mixed with his muttering: "You prefer to pick Hu merchants of silver needle, too hospital's fine iron needle is not good?" "Hu merchants of silver needle, too hospital's fine iron needle is not good? "The silver needles of the Hu merchants are quenched with Persian mercury."
Lin Xiaoman fiddled with the slender silver bar on the shelf, the sunlight reflecting cold light on the tip of the needle, "Sharper than our local forging needles, and not easy to get rusty - Zhang doctor Zheng, they are afraid that they do not even know how to disinfect, the tip of the needle is still stained with ash from the forging furnace." she suddenly glanced at the Hu merchants silver needle. "She suddenly glimpsed the next door medicine store surrounded by people, came the cries of children. "Go and take a look. "
Li Chengqian grabbed a handful of saffron and stuffed it into her medicine box, and when the two of them squeezed into the crowd, they saw an old man holding up a medicine bag and cursing, "You say this is Chuanbei motherwort, how come it boils out more bitter than bile? My grandson drank straight vomit! "Pharmacy shopkeeper's goatee shook:" the old man does not know the goods, this is the top grade Zhebeimu." "Zhebeimu" is a good choice! " "Zhe Beimu nature bitter cold," Lin Xiaoman took out the paper bag from his sleeve, poured out a few grains of flat round Beimu, "children's lungs hot cough should be used Sichuan Beimu, sweet and moist nature does not hurt. "
She turned to Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, lend me the Imperial Hospital's herbal atlas. "When Li Chengqian unfolded the painting of the silk painting of the plant, the people on the sidelines let out a gasp of surprise - the painting of the mother of pearl barley with the trademark "embracing the moon" scales, and the pharmacy's Zhejiang mother of pearl barley. The shopkeeper's face turned pale. The shopkeeper's face was green and white, suddenly glimpsed the jade pendant on Li Chengqian's waist, and kneeled down: "I have no eyes, I don't know if it's...". " "I don't know if I should sell the real medicine to the people, or continue to take the inferior product to fill up the number? "
Li Chengqian laughed coldly, "The Wang City Order of the Western Market Department, I'm afraid it's time to come and check your family's medicine bucket. " He suddenly lowered his voice to Lin Xiaoman, "So you let me bring the chart book, is early expected to have this battle? ""A healer's business is first and foremost about recognizing medicines. "She distributed the real Sichuan shellfish mother to the onlookers, her fingertips skimmed over the glazed bottle containing patchouli Zhengqi water, "By the way, the Hu merchant's glazed bottle sold me ten, turn back to install the external tincture. "
Returning to the East Palace in the afternoon, the sound of female disciples reading mixed with the sound of pounding medicine came. Fu Ling ran over holding up a piece of roasted herbs, "Sir! Zisu has roasted angelica into charcoal and said that she wants to learn how to make a hemostatic medicine like you! " "Angelica charcoal has to be fried until it 'stores its properties'," Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but laugh at the black charcoal, "not turned into soot - come, watch me demonstrate. "
She held up a copper spatula and turned the slices in the hot pan, the aroma of angelica gradually becoming mellow, "Remember, the charcoal should be fried 'until the surface is charred black and the interior is charred yellow', just like... Just like His Highness's toasted poetry manuscript. "Li Chengqian's foot that had just stepped into the courtyard door stopped violently: "That was... I spilled too much ink! "Looking at the faces of his disciples who were stifling their laughter, he suddenly changed the topic, "Princess Rhinoceros is coming tomorrow to learn how to recognize herbs, Xiaoman you prepare some interesting herbs. ""Like the mimosa that can be shy? "
Lin Xiaoman blinked, "Or the Stamen flower that turns blue when exposed to water? "On the second day, the peonies in Changle Palace were in full bloom, and seven-year-old Princess Bull grabbed Li Chengqian's sleeve and hid behind a corridor pillar, staring straight at the mannequin on the table. Dr. Zhang was standing by with a prescription for a tranquilized fetus, his beard stained with powder from some unknown source: "The princess is precious, how can His Highness let a woman from the private sector... ""Senior Zhang's prescription for stabilizing the fetus.""
Lin Xiaoman suddenly opened her mouth, "I used sand nuts and white atractylodes, but I forgot that the pulse is slippery and stringy, which is a sign of disharmony between the liver and the spleen. "She gently held Princess Bull's small hand, "Is the little princess a picky eater these days? Does she frown when she sees meat? ""Uh-huh! Her eyes lit up, "Nurse always lets me eat mutton, but the smell of mutton is so bad." "See? "See?"
Lin Xiaoman flipped open the Modern Parenting Notes, "Children's anorexia needs to strengthen the spleen and calm the liver, when using Poria, yam, Chen Pi, and half a slice of ginger - too much sand nut in Doctor Zhang's prescription will harm the stomach instead. "Doctor Zhang's beard shook violently, suddenly pointing at the model's abdomen: "You even painted the wrong woman's uterus in this model! It's clearly... " "Did Dr. Zhang mean to say 'the uterus is shaped like an inverted pear, with veins connecting it to the kidneys'? "
Lin Xiaoman smiled and marked the position of the uterus on the model with a cinnabar pen, "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says 'the woman's uterus is the main menstruation and conception', but it doesn't say its specific shape - why don't we ask the adults to use silver needles to mark the acupuncture points on the model, so that the little princess can take a look at it? "Grandpa Zhang's beard is like a hedgehog," laughed Princess Anubi, clapping her hands! "The old doctor's face turned redder than a peony, and as he stumbled back, he knocked over the medicine shelf, scattering angelica and chuanxiong rhizome all over the floor.
Li Chengqian hurriedly bowed his head and pretended to
