Chapter 616: Finding a way to get Chinese medicinal materials
Ever since they started practicing Chinese medicine under the guise of local folk medicine, the Chinese medicinal materials in the clinic have been consumed very quickly.
Especially after the busy planting season begins, in order to relieve everyone's fatigue, she will prepare a bag of medicinal herbs for foot bathing, and everyone will soak in it before going to bed at night to relieve fatigue.
Although the soldiers did not come to collect medicinal herbs every day, sometimes they were so busy and tired that they fell asleep without even having time to wash up.
Don’t worry about whether it stinks or not, there is always a smell in a dormitory for men!
But the soldiers still have to keep their houses in order, so it's still okay after all.
With Ye Shu's instructions, they would soak their feet every few days.
It was really comfortable, so from then on, Ye Shu didn't need to remind him. He would come to get the herbal medicine package whenever he had time.
In this way, the medicinal materials will naturally be consumed faster.
They were located on a wasteland, surrounded by forests and with deep mountains not far away, so it was not difficult to collect medicinal herbs.
The difficulty lies in who will go?
The entire camp is short of manpower now!
With only one or two people, the collected herbs may not be enough for several people to use.
Furthermore, the fresh herbs collected must be processed before they can be used.
In short, collecting medicinal materials consumes manpower and wastes time, so it is impossible to collect them on the spot!
Then... go out and buy it!
For this reason, Ye Shu found an opportunity to talk to Political Commissar Lin.
Political Commissar Lin hesitated. "The situation outside is very strict right now. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go and collect herbs at this time."
Ye Shu: "You can go to a state-owned pharmacy and buy some for emergency use. If you want to buy a large quantity, you'll need to find a private Chinese medicine clinic."
"Although traditional Chinese medicine has lost its popularity over the years and has suffered suppression from many sides, it is a treasure passed down by our ancestors and cannot be eliminated just like that."
"Moreover, these people all have a master and a family tradition. They no longer openly open clinics to provide treatment, but they must have a lot of medicinal herbs on hand privately."
"It's very chaotic outside right now. They want to minimize the impact on themselves. They must deal with the medicinal herbs they have hidden. It's a perfect opportunity for you to find a chance to collect them!"
After hearing this, Political Commissar Lin's eyes lit up: "That makes sense!"
If the medicinal materials in those people's hands are eventually discovered, they will definitely be confiscated unconditionally.
If they collect it now, they can get some money in return, so I believe those people will definitely be willing to do so.
Political Commissar Lin was simply curious: "Do state-owned pharmacies sell Chinese medicinal herbs?"
Ye Shu nodded affirmatively: "Yes."
It was just suppressing traditional Chinese medicine, but it did not deny the medicinal properties of Chinese herbal medicines. After the chaos in the first few years, pharmaceutical companies began to extract effective substances from Chinese herbal medicines to make medicines.
You can get a lot of Chinese medicinal materials by purchasing them from a traditional Chinese medicine family, but it also takes time, and the Chinese medicinal materials you get are limited, and they will run out sooner or later.
When Huo Yisheng comes back, he will also have to ask his superiors to apply for medicinal materials.
From now on, whenever you have time to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, you must also pick some medicinal herbs.
When I think about it this way, I feel that everyone should learn some basic knowledge about Chinese medicinal materials, so that we don’t miss out on seeing a medicinal material just because we don’t recognize it.
To put it in an exaggerated way, most of the plants on the mountain are treasures!
Ye Shu shared his idea with Mr. Huang, who positively endorsed it. "I know a few Chinese medicine families. I'll write down the list for you."
Ye Shu's eyes lit up: "Okay! Please write one quickly, thank you for your hard work!"
This is great, it saves me the time of searching like a headless fly!
Huang Lao smiled at her and said, "If I don't know him, how are you going to find him? It's so chaotic outside now, they must have all hidden themselves."
Ye Shu smiled proudly: "Chinese medicine has a good smell. I'll ask Political Commissar Lin to find two people with sharp noses to complete this task."
What she said was of course a joke, but it did make sense, especially for a traditional Chinese medicine clinic with some history. The smell of Chinese medicine would not disappear just by moving things away.
Moreover, Huo Yisheng's men have their own way of finding people!
Mr. Huang: "You are looking for a needle in a haystack!"
He sighed: "But it is also a solution."
He thought of Old Tian's current fate and couldn't help but sigh. He wondered how the other old guys in the traditional Chinese medicine families were doing now!
He wrote a list and told Ye Shu: "Just get the herbs, don't make things difficult for them. If you can, help them!"
In fact, he hoped Ye Shu would convey the message to Political Commissar Lin.
Ye Shu nodded seriously: "Well, I will tell Huo Yisheng when he comes back."
She wasn't entirely sure whether Political Commissar Lin would listen to her, but she was certain that Huo Yisheng would listen to her 100%!
Huang Lao: "Medicinal herbs are seasonal. They are recorded in the Chinese medicine books I gave you. You and Yaya should take a look at them. Don't miss them. While I can still move, I will collect them and teach you how to prepare them!"
Although there are records about the preparation of Chinese medicine in his TCM notes, in fact, if you really want to prepare it well, you also need experience and operation. It would be best to have a master who can guide you!
In this case, what is actually lacking is manpower!
Ye Shu sighed and could only hope that everyone would finish the sowing work quickly so that they could have an easier time until the harvest.
The next morning, Ye Shu was busy in the temporary collective kitchen when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
Because the noise was so rapid and getting closer, it caused several puppies in the camp to bark wildly.
They didn't stop talking until they saw that the person who showed up at the camp gate was someone they knew.
The dog stopped barking, but the people who rushed in started shouting, "Comrade Ye Shu! Quick! Help!"
Ye Shu immediately put down the vegetables he was picking, quickly washed them, stood up, and ran to the infirmary: "What's going on?"
Wang Zucheng ran the fastest, carrying Han Minghui on his back. Both of them were covered in blood. As they ran, they said, "I was hit by a rock!"
There was another soldier following behind him, and he was carrying another on his back, but he was obviously injured as well, and his steps were very staggering and difficult when he ran.
All four of them were covered in blood!
They all look injured!
Zhu Lai Di also noticed the situation and told Hu Xiuyun: "Help me take a look at the stone!"
She is a nurse and has to help.
Ye Shu shouted to the patrol soldiers who followed him, "Go get Zong Hui and Xu Ruyi!"
The medical soldiers have all gone to the fields.
Among the four people, Wang Zucheng was the least injured. The stone hit his waist, but the location was very dangerous. If the force was greater, the lumbar spine would be injured and he would be disabled!
Han Minghui had a cut on his head and fainted.
The other two soldiers were injured in the shoulder, chest and abdomen, one and the other in the thigh.
These were all major injuries, but apart from these, they also had a few minor wounds and bruises on their bodies.
They were all hit by stones!
Political Commissar Lin quickly returned. Seeing this, he was so angry that his vision was blacking out. "Is there any law or order left? This is completely lawless!"
