Chapter 189: Hiring Huang Youde
At this time, Huang Youde took a look. Those people in the hall had left. He tiptoed out to take a peek. Worried about being seen, he only dared to stretch his neck cautiously.
When Liang Yi saw him, he beckoned him to come over. Usually when strangers saw him, Huang Youde would retract his head and run back.
This time it was different, he walked over with a smile, scratched his head and said vaguely: "Dr. Liang, what are you calling me for?"
Liang Yi put his hands on his shoulders with a smile and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Say it, say it." Huang Youde squinted his eyes happily and said.
"I want to ask you for a favor." Liang Yi said in a gentle tone.
"What's the matter, tell me." Huang Youde looked at him with a smile, his eyes were almost too narrow to see.
"Can you help in Baicaotang in the future? You will make a lot of pills, right? Then I will pay you 1 yuan a month, okay?" Liang Yi asked.
"It's okay to help make pills, but I don't know how much 1 yuan is." Huang Youde was doing simple calculations with his fingers.
Huang Baichang couldn't believe it, and asked, "Dr. Liang is really planning to hire our family, Youde, to be the gunpowder."
"Yes, I asked Mr. Shu before, and he said that Youde's medicine process is more authentic than yours, so I thought it would be best if Youde could come to help after the Baicao Hall is renovated. " Liang Yi said.
"That's great!" Huang Baichang folded his hands happily and said, "You don't need to give him 1 yuan, just three thousand."
"He is a master pharmacist. I asked about his salary, which is the same in the gunpowder market," Liang Yi said.
Huang Baichang was so happy that he almost forgot what Liang Yi said just now, but now that he thought about it, his heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Let's talk about the conditions Dr. Liang said before, it's better not to be tricky, my old man can't stand it. "
"That's right." Liang Yi said with a smile: "My condition is that I want Youde to help me make the medicine, just like in ancient times, using the most traditional method to make Chinese patent medicine."
"It turned out to be this! You know, I used to let Youde gunpowder, in fact, it couldn't be sold, but I just wanted him to make a move. I was afraid that he would become more and more dumb. If I sold Baicaotang, I would still sell it. I'm really worried that this child will not be able to take care of himself in the future if he doesn't use his hands and brains." Huang Baichang said.
Liang Yi pretended to be serious and said: "Youde, when you come to work in the future, you must be diligent, do you know?"
"Got it!" Huang Youde immediately straightened his body, and then continued to count with his fingers how much [-] is.
After buying Baicaotang, Huang Baichang led everyone to the gunpowder shop behind Baicaotang.
There are many traditional Chinese medicine processing utensils preserved in it, such as water flying, stewing and calcining, sand roasting...
In fact, when traditional Chinese medicine is used clinically, it is not all original medicinal materials, but undergoes a series of complicated processing to make it adapt to different requirements of medical treatment, preparation and preparation.
So there is such a saying: although the processing is complicated, you must not save labor, and although the taste is expensive, you must not reduce material resources. After reading this sentence, Liang Yi heard Shu Yangjiang say that the processing effort determines the patient's effect after medication. .
In fact, although Huang Youde is mentally deficient, concocting drugs is a fixed process. This is a job that can be practiced and does not require a lot of innovation. This kind of job just fits him very well.
Liang Yi asked: "Youde, what types of preparations do you know?"
"It's all right. You see, I made these." Huang Youde pointed to the medicines on the medicine shelf, including ointments, pills, powders, and all kinds of them.
"So powerful." Liang Yi boasted.
Huang Baichang said proudly: "Youde has no problems in processing traditional Chinese medicine. I learned those processing methods from my master. He has been with me since he was a child, and I also taught him these processing methods. "
Liang Yi asked: "Youde, can you show us your best dosage form?"
Huang Youde thought for a while and said, "Let me make a honey pill for you to see."
"Okay." Liang Yi replied.
Shan Linfei, Shu Yanxin, Li Junhao, like Liang Yi, they have eaten a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, but they have never seen the production process of traditional Chinese medicine, and they are very curious about how it is made.
Honeyed pills are one of the traditional traditional Chinese medicine forms, which disintegrate slowly and act slowly.
The proportion of honey used as a binder in the finished product is greater than that of medicine powder. Honey has the effect of nourishing the intestines and lungs and tonifying deficiency. Therefore, honey pills are mostly used as tonics, antitussive and expectorant agents, and laxatives for chronically ill and physically weak patients.
Huang Youde first added Chinese medicinal materials into the medicine tank and chopped them with a slot knife. Everyone felt very relaxed when they watched him do it, as if they could just move their legs.
Li Junhao said: "Can I try?"
Huang Youde smiled and said, "Yes." He stepped back.
Li Junhao went up and tried a few times, but he couldn't move at all. He said with a bitter face: "When I saw Youde doing it, I thought it was quite simple, but I didn't expect it to be so laborious."
Shu Yan was dissatisfied, and said: "Let me try." As soon as she went up, she kicked down.
not moving at all!
Everyone laughed.
The job of cutting medicine looks very simple, but in fact it requires strong skills, otherwise no amount of force will be of use, it needs ingenuity, Huang Youde doesn't know what ingenuity is, but he is the same as Guo Jing in practicing Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, relying on stupid kung fu , Day after day of repetitive work, the muscle memory that is slowly exercised.
After everyone tried it, they really couldn't make it work. In the end, Huang Youde had to come up to clean up the mess. After a while, he chopped it up with Chinese medicine and smashed it into pieces.
The next step is to get honey. This honey is different from the honey you usually drink. It must be obtained through refining.
Put the honey in the pot, add clean water, and after heating, a layer of light yellow and froth appear on the surface of the honey.
Huang Youde skillfully scooped out the froth on the surface of the honey with gauze, filtered out some dead bees and impurities, and then put the filtered honey into the pot.
Continuing to heat and concentrate, it becomes more and more viscous, and filaments can be pulled out, and the honey in the pot is crystal clear, shining like gold.
Shu Yanxin was almost drooling, and said, "It tastes so delicious, Lin Fei, I'm almost drooling."
"I also think it looks delicious." Shan Linfei also stared at it with wide eyes.
Huang Youde then put the medicinal materials into the pot and stir-fried until the color deepened, then added the prepared honey and stirred quickly,
His movements are like dancing, which looks very light and coherent, but it is actually a very strenuous job.
Huang Baichang explained: "This process is very important. Many people can't hold on to this job for 5 minutes, and they will be lazy. Once they stop, the honey and medicinal materials will not be mixed evenly, and the quality of the finished product will be much worse. "
