"Doctor! We got the medicine back!"

Before noon, Gray and I finally purchased herbs and returned to Dr. Dot's hospital.

Dr. Dot was still waiting for treatment in the hospital with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He carefully flipped through a medicine book and made some marks in the book from time to time.

After hearing my call, Dr. Dot quickly ran to the door and said to us with a smile on his face.

"Great! These medicines will definitely be enough for me to continue my research!"

"That's good, doctor, we have traveled all over Madas Mountain this morning..."

I was about to take credit when I suddenly heard Gray interrupt: "The foot of the mountain."

"..."

"That's a huge area!"

But Dr. Dot didn't listen to us at all. All his attention had been attracted by the medicinal materials. He dumped a large bag of medicinal herbs on the ground and selected, classified and screened them one by one.

Gray also squatted down to help handle the herbs with ease. Seeing that they got into the mood so quickly, I couldn't stay out of it, so I had to do it together.

"Marcus, let me tell you what to do."

Dr. Dot does his job conscientiously and is still able to explain to me.

“The first step we take is to use picking, sorting, sifting and other methods to remove dust, impurities and non-medicinal parts, so that the medicine is clean and pure.

For example, you can see here that you need to pick out the branches and leaves from the medicinal herbs, brush off the velvet on the back of the red medicinal herbs, scrape off the rough skin of Magnolia officinalis and flesh, etc."

"The medicinal materials treated in this way are basically qualified, and I can use them to make medicines."

But doctor, the medicine you made this way is very harsh on your throat!

"Dr. Dot, can the taste of the concoction be improved? I feel like this will paralyze the throat, which is really uncomfortable."

Doctor Dot scratched his head and said.

"But these are the only methods I learned in school. Modern medicine basically uses drugs but purifies them many times. The equipment here is not enough, and many methods cannot be realized."

I thought of the traditional Chinese medicine craftsmanship in my previous life and couldn't help but suggest.

"I do know that there are some ways to deal with it. Doctor, would you like to refer to it?"

"Oh?" Dr. Dot asked very humbly, "Marcus, what do you think?"

"For example, in the treatment of medicinal materials, there is a method of treating medicinal materials with water or other liquid excipients, which is called the water preparation method. The purpose of water preparation is mainly to clean the medicine, soften the medicine, and adjust the properties of the medicine."

"For example, I happened to know something called the bleaching method. The medicine is soaked in wide water or long running water for a period of time, and the water is changed repeatedly to remove the fishy smell, salt and toxic ingredients."

"This method is very good! I already have a basic understanding of the medicinal properties of herbs. A few more adjustments should be able to reduce the paralysis. Thank you so much, Marcus!"

Looking at Dr. Dote's grateful expression, I knew that the traditional Chinese medicine technology in the previous life was obviously ahead of the pharmaceutical methods in this town. Of course, the biggest possibility is that the development direction is different. Dr. Dote already has special refreshing medicines in his hands, so most of them will not use it.

Time will be wasted on medicine and more time will be spent on cases.

But in a small, closed place like Mineral Town, my superficial knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine became even more applicable.

"I also know a simmering method. Wrap the medicine in wet flour or wet paper, and heat it in hot ashes until the surface or paper is charred. This can reduce the intensity and side effects of the medicine. I think you, doctor, can also try it and adjust it.

The medicine takes effect."

"What else? Marcus, please continue!" Dr. Dot had already taken out his notebook and planned to start recording.

"Then I'll tell you some of the methods I know. Doctor, you can research it yourself and see if you can use it."

"The boiling method is a method of heating water or liquid excipients with the medicine together.

Steaming is a method of heating medicines using steam or water. For example, steaming rhubarb with wine can alleviate the purgative effect. Some medicines can only obtain the effects suitable for medical needs after repeated steaming and drying.

The quenching method is a method of burning the drug red and then quickly putting it into cold water or liquid excipients to make it crispy. After quenching, it is not only easy to crush, but also the excipients are extremely absorbable, so that the expected therapeutic effect can be exerted. "

I took a breath and looked at Dr. Dot writing furiously, and then added.

"Other commonly used methods include germination, fermentation, frosting and some legal preparation methods. These may also be applied to fresh medicines such as herbs. The purpose is to change the original properties of the medicine, add new curative effects, reduce toxicity or side effects, or use

The drugs are more effective, high quality and pure.”

After listening to what I said, Dr. Dot was already eager to start developing his drug.

"Great!" There was a look of excitement in his eyes, and he sorted out all the drugs as quickly as possible and prepared to put them into the development process.

…………

"Marcus, do you know anything about pharmacology?"

Boss Dart walked out of the kitchen with a look of disbelief on his face and placed lunch in front of me.

I had been going up the mountain and processing herbs all morning, and I was already hungry. I took my lunch and started eating immediately. I could only say vaguely: "I understand a little bit..."

Gray added on the side: "Boss Marcus also knows how to forge and has taught me a lot. I will also experiment this afternoon to see if I can build the equipment he talks about."

"I really can't tell!" Boss Dart sighed, "pharmaceuticals, forging, cooking, farm work, there are so many things I have heard and seen. Marcus, what else are you good at that you haven't shown yet?

?”

"I'm not that great. I just happen to know a little bit about it. I actually don't know much about other things."

With the assistance of the colonist system, I can already claim to be a decathlon. In addition, I often wake up some memories from my previous life. Although most of them are missing, useful medicines like Chinese medicine will slowly become available.

It will appear, and generally speaking, more and more things will appear.

"I still hope you can show more talent in making money."

Boss Dart expressed his dissatisfaction with me eating and drinking without revealing anything.

"Hahaha, father-in-law, don't worry..."

"Don't call me father-in-law!"

"Okay, okay, boss Dart, do you think I will be short of money when I know everything? Just wait and see me get out of poverty in one year, get rich in two years, and reach the peak of my life in three years!"

"I hope your confidence matches your appetite, but seeing is believing."

"Okay boss, here's another boss!"

I shamelessly asked for another set meal, turned around and looked inside the hotel, and found that there was a new TV there!

"Boss, it seems you have made a fortune! Is this TV a new one?"

Boss Dart poked his head out of the kitchen and said proudly, "Zach helped me transport this just now. Drinkers often complain that they have nothing to talk about and want more entertainment and don't want to watch Dick and Seth all the time."

Bala is drunk and crazy."

"I'll just buy a TV so that everyone won't be bored. But we don't have any signal here. Can you help me see what programs I can watch?"

I like this!

I haven't touched TV since I left Shining City, and I don't know what programs are popular here.

The first one, weather forecast.

Well, weather forecast is still very useful.
