Chapter 11 Sending Favors
Seeing Liu Sheng so happy, Li Qin was a little surprised. It was just an ordinary horse flu. As long as the diagnosis was correct, there was nothing difficult to cure. Why did you need to yell like this? You even said that you know how to witchcraft and how could you look like a charlatan?
In terms of influenza treatment, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are different. Traditional Chinese medicine does not consider the situation related to the virus, but only treats it according to specific symptoms. Whether it is horse flu or other influenza, traditional Chinese medicine can use the same method to treat it, provided that the syndrome differentiation is correct.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, before Zhang Zhongjing wrote the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", people often had the pain of zombies in every family and the sorrow of crying in the room. Even Zhang Zhongjing's family was not spared, and the tribe members died two of them. It was precisely because of this sad scene that Zhang Zhongjing witnessed his heart and studied medical skills hard that he wrote the medical book "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and was respected as the "saint of the medical school."
In the era in which Li Qin lived, the chaos had not yet begun, and it was twenty or thirty years before Zhang Zhongjing wrote the book. In other words, in this era, not to mention that horses had plagues, even people had plagues, it was very difficult to cure them. Horse flu was the most common plague.
Although the Qiang people gradually became Chinese, most of them still make a living by letting horses and shepherds. They are very afraid of any plague. On the grassland, the wizards often treat horse plague. The wizards will use one or two herbs to treat horse plague. Although the effect may not be very good, it is enough to make the herdsmen worship them. No matter how simple the treatment method is, the wizards will never reveal it. They will only make mystery and let the herdsmen deify their witchcraft.
Of course, people in the Central Plains also like to be mysterious. For example, when Dayu controlled the flood, Dayu had a good skill in kicking high and low, which was a job requirement, but the people gave his skill a loud name "Lingbo Weibu", saying that he could control the qi and fly after practicing it. He also called this technique the root of all techniques and the essence of mystery. When Shang Tang was asking for rain, he liked to sit on the stack of firewood to perform. Whenever he wanted to go to the sky, it would rain. In fact, to put it bluntly, he was very good at weather forecasting; if he didn't ask for rain, he would ask for wind, and he chanted spells with a wooden sword, that was Zhuge Liang.
Li Qin immediately understood that this cannot be blamed on Liu Sheng for making a fuss, but for the relationship of the times. People these days will definitely not treat horse flu. They will only take good care of horses, enhance their ability to resist diseases, and let the horse survive by themselves.
Li Qin shook his head and said, "Brothers don't know how to witchcraft, but they know a prescription for treating horse plague. Of course, I mean this ** plague, and other horse plagues are hard to say."
Liu Sheng was so excited that he grabbed Li Qin's arm with both hands and refused to let go. He said, "Good brother, brother, I am more precious than a golden horse, and the foal in its belly is even more..."
Li Qin interrupted him and said solemnly: "Brother Liu, I think you are your brother, do you think I am a brother?"
Liu Sheng immediately stood up straight and shouted: "Of course I think you are a brother..."
Li Qin interrupted him again and said, "It's brother, don't use the word 'please', heretics! Brother Liu, don't be anxious. If you ask someone to take paper and pen, I will prescribe the prescription immediately to treat the fire tan. Take one dose at night, one dose tomorrow morning, and after noon tomorrow, your fire tan disease will be cured. Do you believe it?"
"Tell me, of course I believe me!" Liu Sheng turned around and shouted, "Get paper and pen... Ah, brother, I don't have paper at home, can I make her skin?"
Li Qin nodded and said, "If you can write, you can do it."
Liu Sheng shouted again: "Get the sheepskin and a pen. That ink, carry our iron pot, be careful not to remove the ash from the bottom of the pot!"
Hearing the order of the head of the family, the servants immediately brought the things. The two strong men carried the iron pot into the horse ring, arranged the small table, lambskin, scraped off a layer of ash at the bottom of the pot, mixed it with water, and presented the pen to Li Qin.
When Li Qin saw this, he looked like a brush that was written, but rather a brush that was oiled when barbecued. He said, "Brother Liu, you are a big business person. Why not hire a bookkeeping account in the future? In this way, you will naturally have all the pens, ink, paper and inkstones. At least you have to prepare some bamboo slips."
Liu Sheng nodded quickly and said, "It's reasonable and reasonable. If you want to do a big deal, you have to keep your accounts well."
Li Qin picked up a pen and prescribed the prescription. To cure horse flu, he needs to use more than a dozen medicines such as Crabbithu, Scutellaria baicalensis, Akane, Forsythia, and Licorice. One dose of a medium-sized horse is good, but the charcoal is two rounds larger than that of an ordinary horse. If you want the medicine to be strong enough, you have to take two doses.
He stopped writing just after he wrote a golden character and thought to himself: "This character is too ugly. It is not the same as writing good characters, but it is also too bad for this."
As soon as Li Qin stopped writing, Liu Sheng shivered immediately. He thought that if the prescription was really useful, it would be a fortune. The two of them did not have a deep friendship when they first met. Even if they had a deep friendship, such a precious prescription could not be given to outsiders. This is not that they were stingy, but that they were too ignorant of the depth and had to ask too much!
Liu Shengdao: "Brother, the prescription is so precious that it must not be spread. Otherwise, I will ask my family to get the medicine. I will get half a pound of all the medicines in the pharmacy shop, and then you will make the medicine yourself. I will give you the remaining medicine. You can take it back to your own home. How about it?"
Without waiting for Li Qin to answer, he turned around and shouted, "Go to the medicine shop to grab the medicine. Each medicine is half a pound, and no one is allowed to take half of the taste. Go quickly!" The servants were surprised and hurried to execute the order.
Li Qin was slightly stunned. He had no intention of keeping the secret. Now he had a shallow foundation. If there was a precious prescription, he could not hold it at all. Maybe he would attract countless people with swords and guns to "visit" him; but if he told Liu Sheng the prescription, Liu Sheng would keep it secret. Judging from Liu Sheng's appearance, it would be nice if he didn't "visit" others. Who dares to visit him?
Li Qin nodded and said, "Okay, then go and get the medicine!" After a pause, he whispered, "Brother Liu, didn't I say that if you and I are brothers, we need to treat each other with sincerity. When the medicine is prepared, I will give you the prescription. You must accept it with your face!"
Give the prescription for treating horse plague to the horse raising people - this is a great favor!
Liu Sheng opened his mouth wide, thinking that the Li brothers were too righteous and were simply a good friend that could not be found in the world! He swallowed his mouth, and he really didn't know how to thank such a huge favor. After a long time of grinning, he suddenly said, "Brother, I have a daughter, I am twelve years old this year. You marry her home as a wife and ask her to give birth to a baby for you. What do you think?"
Li Qin grinned, what a joke, even if I want to thank me, I can't use my own daughter. I'm still twelve years old! He said, "How can this be done? Then I won't become your son-in-law! Brother Liu, how can I get my advantage!"
"No, no, I dare not take advantage of you, brother, I don't have a sister!" Liu Sheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and was at a loss, not knowing what to say.
At this time, the servant came with wine and meat, resolving Liu Sheng's embarrassment. The two sat opposite the small case, because Liu Sheng also had horse flu. Although it was not serious, Li Qin still told him not to drink. Now Liu Sheng heard everything Li Qin said, although he became addicted to alcohol, he forced himself to drink. The two of them chatted while eating.
Liu Sheng loved horses as if they were life. He kept praising his charcoal during the meal, and was full of hope for the foal in his belly, hoping that he could get a peerless horse. Li Qin heard more and said less, and sighed in his heart. The troubled times were about to arise. Liu Sheng had a good horse, and sooner or later he would be missed and robbed by others. But he didn't know it now. But when he thought of the Red Rabbit BMW, he felt warm in his heart. How great would it be if this horse could belong to him.
After a meal, the two of them had just eaten their fill, and the servants came back to get the medicine. Not only did they get hundreds of medicines, but they also bought a complete set of decoction equipment and medicine scales, and even bought a full set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
As soon as the things were moved into the horse circle, Liu Sheng immediately drove all the servants out and looked at Li Qin. Seeing that he was anxious, Li Qin did not keep it in hiding, so he immediately started to decoct the medicine, and wrote down the prescription and handed it to Liu Sheng.
Li Qin said: "Brother Liu, this is the prescription for treating the plague in front of you. Please keep it properly. By the way, other plagues cannot be treated with it."
Liu Sheng hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I understand it for my brother." Broke the prescription and keep it in person solemnly.
Li Qin decocted the medicine, and Liu Sheng took it on his own and poured the hot charcoal. Seeing that it was almost done, Li Qin said, "It is to follow my method just now. When tomorrow morning, Brother Liu will decoct another dose for the hot charcoal to take. You can practice decoding the medicine."
After saying that, he bowed his farewell, and told Li Jia to come again tomorrow, so that Liu Sheng could go to find him when there was an urgent matter. Liu Sheng was interested in keeping a guest, but it was obvious that Li Qin had to leave, so he had to ask the servant to carry a whole roast lamb leg, stewed chicken, wine, and other items to give to Li Qin.
Liu Sheng personally sent it out, asked the servant to carry the gift with a long stick, and sent Li Qin back to the Jia family.
When he arrived at Jiajia Hutong, it was already dark. Li Qin took out a long stick and gift and asked the servant to go back.
Standing outside the yard, Li Qin shouted, "Sister, I'm back!" He pushed the door open and entered.
Li Jia came out of the house and said, "Why did you come back? The leopard skin has been sold? Oh, it must be sold at a good price!" Seeing that Li Qin had picked a lot of things, she smiled happily, and knew that the brother must be selling the leopard skin at a good price.
Li Qin smiled and said, "I got a lot of good corn. The buyer sent the food to our house. I'll give it to you for your enjoyment!" He took off the legs of lamb and other things and handed it to Li Jia.
At this time, Jia’s father and Jia’s mother came out together, and Jia said, “Good boy, we are waiting for you to come back for dinner. The broth has been hot several times. How come we come back?”
But Jia's father said, "There is wine in the jar? Good Li Lang, I really have a wink. I know that your uncle hasn't drunk for almost two years, so he bought wine to honor him!" He rushed up, picked up the jar, and smelled it hard through the mouth of the jar, with an intoxicated look on his face.
Li Qin smiled and said, "It's not my purchase, it was given by Liu Sheng. I think these things are enough for you to eat for half a month. If there is no corn or anything, go to my house to get it. I sold the corn from six stones of leopard skin!"
Li Jia and Jia Mu were both surprised and said in unison: "Liu Shi, why are there so many!"
Jia's father was also stunned, but then said: "In addition to the county magistrate, only Liu Sheng can afford leopard skin. But the price he paid for is a bit of a waste of money if he had good corn on six stones and these things."
As they spoke, they entered the house together.
