Chapter Seven, besides Xu Xian who plays with snakes, there is also you, young lady

Li Fucheng clearly did not study this, but he also learned that for serious illnesses one should use strong medicine, and for minor ailments, one should use mild medicine, thus he habitually resorts to potent remedies for treating diseases

Li Dandao wrote with a pen on the grass paper and discovered that the young lady could not read. He said, "These characters are truly strange!"

Li Fucheng's gaze was complex

Li Dandao asked: "Then what do you think is good?"

Originally, Li Dandao was not held in high regard, but now that it is known that there are monsters in the world, this half volume of witchcraft and medicine can also be studied further

Haha! Dog Egg! A good name

Li Dandao has learned since childhood the principle of stabilizing major illnesses while managing minor ones, nurturing health in the absence of illness, and preventing diseases before they arise, demonstrating a cautious approach

Here is a remedy called "Lost Soul of the Child," which stops excessive bleeding during childbirth, alleviates bloating and abdominal discomfort akin to a toad's poison... dispels evil spirits and sores on the back... treats snake bites...

The Snake Woman chuckled and said: "The art of snake charm is passed down to women, not to men. How could my father possibly know it!"

Li Fucheng waved his sleeve and said, "If I do not wish to, then I do not wish to!" He took Yaya and returned.

Fuling smiled brightly and said: "You are quite the smooth talker! What is your name again?"

Use roasted hemp seeds, crush them, and mix them with porridge, adding only a small amount; just a little bit can be added to one pot. However, you should also ask your mother-in-law what you have eaten these past few days

Li Dandao often says that his medicine cannot kill people, which means he is very cautious with his prescriptions and does not dare to use toxic or strong medicines, as well as those with numerous contraindications

In the afternoon, Li Dandao practiced his swordsmanship empty-handed for a while, and then went to the shop

My father often says that dog meat has three excellent parts: the dog whip, the dog egg, and the dog kidney

The consultation fee is 8 wen, the medicine fee is 12 wen, totaling 20 wen

"What a smell! It's so unpleasant!" The snake-catching woman frowned as soon as she entered the room

For example, wild plums, cherries, and the kernels of apricot trees contain cyanide toxins. The traditional poison of bitter almonds is also related to this, but a small amount of bitter almonds is very effective in treating headaches caused by colds and fevers

However, these several remedies are folk prescriptions, a form of witchcraft.

How much do I sell this snake for? I am in need of an accountant to help me with the accounts. If it is accurate, I will hire you in the future

"You are presiding over the court at such a young age?" the snake-catching woman asked curiously

Zhu Youke said, to be honest, the Traditional Chinese Medicine teacher has never mentioned it, but I have heard that there is a teacher who can use Jiulong Huagu Shui to dissolve fish bones stuck in the throat

However, it seems that recently there have been many people bitten by venomous snakes, and a few have died without treatment, so we need to get some snake repellent powder

"Good heavens! A pool of venomous snakes, is your father raising poison?" Li Dan exclaimed

No wonder these fellows in the basket have started moving. The snake-catching woman said: Your shop is quite far and rather secluded.

Li Dandao shook his head: "He is also a street performer"

First, the shaman knows the superiority of a hundred diseases, and first understands the origin of the illness; thus, he can perform blessings. This is what is referred to as the art of blessings in the "Inner Canon".

This! It is not possible to learn this! You are the father, and I am the son, how can this be taught?" Li Dandao said.

"Dogs are man's best friend, why eat dogs?" Li Dandao sighed, "When will dogs be able to stand up?"

Arsenic treats corns, toxic sores, malaria, tuberculosis

It is just somewhat difficult to articulate... In other words, sincerity brings about effectiveness, which somewhat resembles the practices of traditional folk healing.

Haha, Poria is a fine medicine, ranked among the top quality. There are legends of achieving immortality through its consumption, and medicinal herbs that can cure ailments all have good names

Li Fucheng's complexion darkened, and he changed to a different medicine, no longer using the Four Gentlemen Decoction

Li Dandao hurriedly asked, "May I inquire about your esteemed name, Miss?"

Only by attaining the Dao: "Li Goudan."

Li Dan looked at the half book of medical texts by Li Fucheng, which contained only a few prescriptions

Call Li Dandao to fetch the medicine

Li Dandao

It is stated that for serious illnesses, strong poisons should be used; for minor ailments, milder poisons are appropriate; if there is no illness, no medication should be administered; and to combat poison with poison. For instance, to eliminate various malignant sores, the use of medication is quite bold, often involving highly toxic substances derived from metals and minerals. The same principle applies to expelling parasites from the body.

What is good, the poria is so ugly, it would be better to have a nickname!

Li Dan Dao has always been regarded as an ancient psychiatric institution, specializing in the treatment of mental illnesses and psychological disorders, such as loss of appetite due to fright and gradual weight loss. If the treatment is successful, it is attributed to one's own efforts; if unsuccessful, it is blamed on the wrath of deities.

Li Fucheng had just wanted to say, using croton seeds, but then stopped: "Then let me test you, what medicine should be used?"

A few days ago, I had a large green fruit that stuck to my teeth; it was a pastry bought by my son

Li Dandao inquired: "Young lady, how much do you earn from your business, that it cannot be counted with ten fingers? Do you still need to hire an accountant?"

However, Li Fucheng made numerous annotations with his pen

"Do not use strong medicine!" Li Dandao said: "This is an elderly person!"

Li Fucheng, this half-baked practitioner, is rather accustomed to using potent medicines, which can be quite lethal. Common examples include Aconite and Prepared Aconite Root, which require high-temperature frying to remove toxins, followed by steaming or sun-drying, or being boiled together with honey and licorice. Even so, they still possess significant residual toxicity. They are effective for treating headaches and strokes, aligning with the aforementioned principle of treating serious illnesses with strong toxins.

Calculating the accounts, although there is no need to pay rent for the shop, there are taxes, and purchasing medicinal materials and oil for lamps all incur costs. Li Ji Pharmacy uses inexpensive medicinal materials for treatment, and does not require expensive ones, thus it is also difficult to earn money from patients.

The old woman wore a worried expression, "I haven't been able to solve it for several days."

Which one is Xu Xian? asked the snake-catching woman

Thank you, Dr. Li

My father raises a pool of snakes, extracting snake venom, removing snake gallbladders, peeling snake skins, consuming snake meat, and selling snake medicine. How substantial a business do you think that is

Just earn more than your shabby pharmacy

Good name. Li Dandao

The old man is sitting in session, taking the pulse of an elderly woman, and has prescribed a dose of the Four Gentlemen Decoction

These few prescriptions clearly indicate that Li Fucheng has thoroughly understood them and knows how to use them

In ancient times, most shamans also served as physicians, and this was true even during the Tang Dynasty, where there were Buddhist monks who practiced medicine and Daoist priests who did the same. Some, like Li Fucheng, turned to medicine after failing in their studies, becoming self-taught physicians.

In the dream

It is sufficient to transform into a dog demon

The same medication also includes Strychnos nux-vomica, which can be used externally for pain relief and swelling reduction through methods such as frying and sand heating; it must absolutely not be taken internally

Li Dandao took a deep breath: "Besides Xu Xian, who else plays with snakes? It is you, my lady?"

"Indigestible." Li Dandao said: "Boil some sand ginger and drink the water. After your mother-in-law takes her medicine, be careful and avoid eating these indigestible pastries too often."

Poria

"Alright, you haven't asked me my name yet!" the snake-catching woman reminded.

Famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioners often started with toxic substances, but Li Dandao looked on without daring to learn. While external application is acceptable, internal consumption is absolutely out of the question.

Upon hearing this, Li Dandao immediately bowed and asked, "May I inquire if the young lady is of Miao or Dong descent?"

Li Dandao chuckled and said, "How novel."

You can also manage accounts! The snake-catching woman exclaimed in curiosity, "You must know quite a lot!"

It is not a family that makes a living through street performances, like snake charmers

I have obtained realgar, senna, and balsam pear. If I were to sell snake repellent powder, it would likely be quite popular. After preparing a batch, I wrapped some in yellow paper and scattered a bit in the corner. Immediately, there was a scent of sulfur compounds, making anyone who smelled it feel a sense of heat.

The old lady has diarrhea

Li what? Fu Ling was puzzled.

Did you not say that you collect medicine here! I came to scout the place first, and by the way, I sold the venomous snake.

Li Dandao inquired: "How has the old lady's restroom situation been recently?"

Li Fucheng sighed and said, "When will you talk to me about it? I am also willing to learn, your father."

Li Dandao looked up: "The snake-repelling powder has released the scent of realgar."

"No, I haven't had much of an appetite lately, just came to take a look," Li Fucheng said

Where did you learn this medical skill

Li Dandao shook his head: "How could that be! My father is the one in charge, and I am just doing some odd jobs."

Li Dandao sighed and said, "Why open a pharmacy in such a bustling place?"
