Chapter 106 Different Drugs, Different Methods
Suspension.
In fact, it is the mixed water of fine particles of medicine that does not melt in water, but is completely mixed with water.
After the realgar powder was taken out from the wall breaker, Fangqiu continued to find the container and added a lot of water, began to stir, then took out the upper half of the suspension from it and poured it into the first container.
Then, continue to add water, stir and take the liquid.
Stir again, and then take the liquid.
So repeatedly.
It seemed that although it was a bit inexplicable, Fang Qiu was very careful and did not dare to be careless at all.
there.
The doctor Niu, who had cleaned the tea set and was about to start making tea, couldn't help but smile and nod his head when he saw Fangqiu's concocting technique.
Others can't understand, but he can see clearly.
Many Chinese medicine practitioners with a poor foundation almost slack in this step when doing realgar processing.
This seemingly boring step is actually to remove the impurities in the realgar. Although the impurities have been removed before processing, but at that time the impurities outside the realgar were removed, and some impurities were born inside the realgar. .
These impurities must also be removed.
After the realgar is ground into powder, the weight in the water is not as heavy as the impurities contained in the realgar. Therefore, the only way to repeat the operation is to sink all the impurities to the bottom and mix all the realgar with the water. Take out all the suspension.
It seems very simple, but it is very boring to repeat it again and again.
In this repetition.
Fang Qiu was not at all impatient, but was very careful.
It was this point that made Niu Shengyi feel particularly satisfied.
It took about half an hour.
Fang Qiu completely removed the impurities.
Finally, Fang Qiu merged all the suspensions that he had taken out, put them in a transparent container, and left them aside without moving.
It is only necessary to wait for the complete precipitation, separate the water and realgar completely to dry, and then manually grind the process to complete.
but.
It takes a long time to wait for the realgar suspension to settle.
It is precisely because of this that Fang Qiu chose to put the realgar manufacturer first.
in fact.
When I saw the ten medicines given by Shengyi Niu, the preparation method of each medicine had already appeared in the Fangqiu. If only the memory of the preparation method was tested, Fangqiu could easily mix the ten medicines. Say all of the recipes without missing a word.
However, what Niu Shengyi wants to test is operation.
Therefore, Fang Qiu could only do it himself, completely showing the preparation method he thinks appropriate to Niu Shengyi.
For the preparation of the first medicine, realgar, Fangqiu directly used the nemesis of Jinshilei medicinal materials, and the water flying method was used for the preparation.
Whether it is ancient or modern.
Cinnabar, realgar and other medicinal materials are processed in this way.
The water flying method uses the insoluble properties of Jinshilei medicinal materials to repeatedly grind the medicinal materials, and use coarse and fine powders to be suspended in water differently to separate extremely fine powders, while removing the toxicity and impurities in the medicinal materials.
When this side.
When the suspension starts to settle and settle.
Fang Qiu didn't want to waste a minute, so he started to make the second medicinal material.
Second taste.
Fang Qiu chose Cantharidum.
Cantharis is a dry whole of southern cantharidae or yellow-black small cantharis, which is an insect of the genus genus, caught in the morning when the dew is not dry in summer and autumn, put into a container to suffocate or scald, and dry.
In ancient times.
There are also many ways of concocting cantharis.
In the Jin Dynasty, there were concocting methods such as moxibustion, frying, and burning to exhaust smoke.
During the Liu Song period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, glutinous rice was fried with Xiao Mazi.
In the Song Dynasty, there are wine system, bran stir-fry, bean noodle stir-fry, vinegar cooking, vinegar moxibustion, croton and rice stir-fry together.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were records of oyster frying, wheat noodle frying, and bran frying without head, feet and wings.
In the Qing Dynasty, steaming, rice swill, and soil-frying were added.
And in modern times.
Most of them have only used one method of processing.
What Fangqiu wants to use is naturally a modern processing method.
Picked up the beetle and looked at it.
Fang Qiu immediately walked into the material room and started looking for materials inside.
After a long time.
Only when he walked out of the material room, he caught a stove, a pot, a sieve, and a bag of glutinous rice.
Here.
Niu Sheng doctor who has poured tea.
After a careful glance, after seeing the materials and tools Fang Qiu took out, he smiled and nodded again.
It seemed that Fangqiu's method of concocting Cantharidae should be the same as he imagined.
Fang Qiu, who was preparing, did not observe the look of the saint Niu at all, but instead devoted all his energy to the processing of medicinal materials.
This time, after taking out all the necessary tools and materials, Fang Qiu didn't immediately start to do it, but went back to the material room again and took out some cantharis in proportion.
When he entered the material room for the first time, Fang Qiu found that there were a lot of medicinal materials in the material room, at least 20 or 30 kinds, and the quantity of each was quite large.
As for the ten medicinal materials selected by Niu Shengyi, there is only one for each. Cantharis is different from realgar. If you just concoct one, you can't concoct it, so you can only take more and concoct it together.
After removing the cantharidum.
Fang Qiu began to carefully give each cantharidae its head, feet, wings, and magazines on its body.
After all is divided.
Fangqiu started to burn and lit the stove.
Control the middle heat of the furnace to a low level, and then heat the pan first.
While heating the pan, Fangqiu mixed the picked cantharidin with the glutinous rice in a certain proportion. After the pot was hot, put the cantharidin and the glutinous rice into the pot together and started to stir fry.
It is different from the previous hydroflight method.
This time, heating was chosen for the preparation of Cantharidae because heating can reduce the toxicity of the medicinal materials and enhance its efficacy.
It's just that this method of frying makes it difficult to grasp the problem of heat in terms of the degree of heating. Many people think that heat needs to be controlled by experience, but it is not.
When the can beetle is fried, just add white glutinous rice and heat it together. When the color of the glutinous rice turns brown, it means that the medicinal materials have been heated to the critical point, that is to say, the purpose of processing has been achieved and the heating can be stopped.
simply put.
The addition of white glutinous rice will not only have no effect on the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials, but it can also act as a "thermometer".
Originally, it was a very simple matter to control the heat to make a medicine with Fangqiu's strength, but he is now undergoing an assessment, so he cannot use other abilities. Once his abilities are fully displayed, he is afraid that he will be scared. medical.
After all, what Niu Shengyi hopes to see is that he can follow the steps.
Fangqiu stir-fried at the right time.
I don't know how long it took.
Fangqiu stopped frying when the glutinous rice in the pot turned yellowish brown.
Then, raise the pot, pour the rice in the pot together with the cantharis into the sieve prepared in advance, use the sieve to sieve the rice out, leaving only the cantharidum.
Then spread the cantharis in a sieve and let it cool.
Put the cantharidin.
Fang Qiu turned his head and glanced at the standing realgar suspension, and found that the suspension was still turbid, and immediately turned his head to look at the third medicinal material.
the third.
leech!
Leech, the common name of leeches, is recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". It has high medicinal value. It grows and reproduces in inland freshwater waters. It is a traditional Chinese special medicinal aquatic animal. Its dried products are used as traditional Chinese medicine after infusion. , Has the effect of treating stroke, hypertension, dredging, amenorrhea, bruises and so on.
In ancient times, there were many methods of processing leeches.
In the Han Dynasty, there was a method of boiling and washing with warm water to remove fishy.
In the Song Dynasty, there were micro-fried to make yellowish, slightly simmered to make yellow, fried coke, water immersion to remove blood, rice fried, lime-fried and then boiled, rice simmered for one night and dried out, fried with winter pig fat to make browned, toasted, Concocting methods such as musk system.
Salt fried was added in the Yuan Dynasty.
The moxibustion system appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and the method of frying coke with sesame oil was added in the Qing Dynasty.
but.
Compared with these ancient processing methods, modern processing methods are obviously easier.
This time.
Fang Qiu didn't observe the leeches first, but after thinking about it for a while, he immediately walked into the material room and took out a cutting board, a kitchen knife, and a bag of talcum powder from it.
After all the materials and tools are complete.
Fang Qiu took enough leeches from the material room.
Originally, the first step was to wash the live leeches, cut them off, and dry them.
but.
The leeches prepared by the doctor Niu were dried leeches, which saved Fangqiu a lot of trouble.
After preparing all the ingredients, Fangqiu first cleaned the pot where the cantharidin was cooked just now, then put it on the stove, let the pot be dried by the temperature of the stove, and then took the talcum powder and put it in the pot to start frying.
Keep heating and stir-frying until the talcum powder is in a flexible state, then put all the leeches into the pot, and start to stir and stir more quickly.
The stir-fry continued until the leeches swelled slightly and turned yellowish-brown, then Fangqiu stopped and put the pot down.
Put the cantharis that has been cooled in the sieve next to it, and then pour the talcum powder and the leeches in the pot into the sieve together, and put the talcum powder in the sieve area, leaving only the leeches, and put it in the sieve to cool.
Finish it all.
Fang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he looked down at the medicine, a bitter smile still appeared on his face.
People are white!
Human white is a solid object that human urine naturally takes advantage of.
There were only a few methods of processing in ancient times.
In the Song Dynasty, there was the method of burning charcoal, forging and frying in the Ming Dynasty, and the method of co-curing wine and jujube in the Qing Dynasty, and the method of quenching with vinegar.
but.
The modern methods of processing are not as simple as those before.
The most critical issue is time!
Because Renzhongbai’s processing requires removing impurities, soak it in clean water for 10-15 days, change the water twice a day, and have to sun and night dew until there is no odor.
However, if this really takes ten days, Fang Qiu can't wait.
"Is it white and yellow?"
there.
The doctor Niu saw Fang Qiu stop suddenly, and immediately glanced at the two medicinal materials in front of Fang Qiu, and then said with a smile: "These two medicinal materials, you only need to follow the process, you don’t have to be that way. Do it for a long time."
"it is good."
Fang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Then immediately start to walk through the process, that is, in accordance with modern methods, shorten the time and go through the process once.
