Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Seeing that it was Zhou Shen who came in, the old man immediately took out two boxes of handmade donkey-hide gelatin from under the counter.

"I brought it for you when I went to the county this afternoon."

There are relatively few people eating this stuff in the small town, and the price is expensive. If people really want to eat, they will buy Dong'e Ejiao, Tongrentang, Jiuzhitang, etc. online, so he couldn't sell two boxes a month before.

Including ginseng under the forest, there are not many people who eat it, and they are all regular customers.

Because of the high price, consumers in towns and villages really can't accept it. They still prefer stewed old hen with garden ginseng that costs tens or hundreds of dollars a catty.

"Thank you!"

Zhou Shen put the donkey-hide gelatin aside, turned his head and said, "Doctor Cao, help me prepare some herbs."

As he spoke, he handed over the prescription of Baibu Goujing Soup.

"Let me see."

Cao Mingji put on his presbyopic glasses, picked up the prescription paper and looked at it carefully.

"Schisandra, Rehmannia, Eucommia, Cistanche, Yam, Achyranthes, Alisma, Poria, Cornus..."

After reading it, Cao Mingji asked, "Is this medicinal soup prescribed by a doctor in the hospital, or did you find it randomly on the Internet?"

Zhou Shen said: "It wasn't prescribed by the hospital, nor was it randomly found on the Internet. It was a herbal soup passed down from the family by two friends who learned martial arts."

Cao Mingji knew that he was practicing martial arts, because he bought large quantities of undergrowth ginseng and handmade donkey-hide gelatin. Cao Mingji asked him what he used for it before, and he told the truth.

Cao Mingji heard the words and said: "Then I will prepare it for you first. When you drink it, the dosage will be halved. Let's see how the effect is."

Zhou Shen nodded, "Okay, thank you, Dr. Cao."

"You're welcome. If you want to drink something wrong, your grandma will destroy my shop."

Cao Mingji told a cold joke.

Zhou Shen grinned and said, "No, my grandma has always been more reasonable."

Ten minutes later, Zhou Shen left the store with a large bag of Chinese herbal medicines and handmade donkey-hide gelatin.

Then without delay for a minute, he strode home.

Chapter 62 The effect is amazing

When Zhou Shen got home, grandma hadn't come back from dancing in the square.

Take out the casserole that stewed the Sansu Yunfei soup before and wash it, and then put the seventeen kinds of medicinal materials into the pot according to the proportion.

Finally, I took out three 20-year-old forest ginseng from the vacuum packaging bag.

With 5 more years of ginseng, the price is also much more expensive, from 380g to 550g.

This is still a friendly price, otherwise the normal retail price will be more than 600g.

The ginseng is a little bigger than the one I bought earlier, with an average of a little more than 2g per stick, and the total of the three sticks is only 7g.

Carefully take the ginseng out of the vacuum bag and put it in the casserole.

There was no mountain spring water, so he used a measuring cup to scoop in 2500ml of Nongfu mountain spring as required.

Then close the lid, turn on the fire and start cooking.

This fire can't be used in a fierce fire, it needs to be decocted with a slow fire, so that the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials can be released slowly.

As for the consequences of getting too hot, he didn't know. The recipe didn't mention it, but he didn't want to experiment either. The pot of medicinal materials cost close to 5000 yuan.

Then there's nothing else to do.

This pot of medicinal materials is the same as the Sansu Yunfei Soup. It needs to be boiled for 3 hours to let the medicinal properties slowly evaporate.

He started playing Baduanjin and Xingyiquan in the living room.

As the proficiency of Xingyiquan became higher and higher, he found that all the muscles and bones of the whole body were obviously exercised, especially the waist, which has become particularly flexible now.

There is a saying in Quanyan: Punching is not enough to stretch the waist, and it is not a high level of skill.

It can be seen how important the waist is to the boxer.

Grandma came back half an hour later, smelling the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine at home, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter with you, what kind of Chinese medicine should you take well?"

Zhou Shen explained with a smile: "No, I'm not sick. This is a medicinal soup. Drink it to nourish your body."

"That doesn't work either. The medicine is three-point poisonous, and the medicinal food can't be eaten indiscriminately. Eating too much is not good for the human liver. Listen to grandma, let's not eat indiscriminately, oh~~"

The little old lady coaxed Zhou Shen like a child, and then went up to turn off the stove.

Zhou Shen hurried up to stop her, "Grandma, don't worry, I know you can't take medicine indiscriminately, I'm just doing an experiment..."

He talked for a long time, and finally persuaded the little old lady to go to rest.

When I got back to the kitchen, I couldn't help but want to laugh. Having a grandma who cares too much about me is sometimes a happy trouble.

……

Until eleven o'clock, the herbal soup was finally cooked.

He found gauze from the utility room and put it on the casserole, and decanted the medicinal soup inside.

With 2500ml of water, there is only a large bowl of brown sugar water medicated soup left.

After draining all the medicine soup in the casserole, he poured the medicine dregs inside on the gauze, found a small plate, and twisted it with both hands to squeeze out all the medicine soup in the medicine residue.

The scalding medicine dregs were at least [-] to [-] degrees, and they were squeezed tightly in the hands through a thin layer of gauze. For ordinary people, blisters would have been scalded, but Zhou Shen was not afraid at all.

Wring out the dregs until there is no drop left.

There are about ten grams of medicinal soup in the plate.

He tidied up all his things and returned them to their original places, and cleaned up the kitchen again.

As for the medicine dregs, he didn't throw them away either, but poured them into the fresh-keeping box and put them in the refrigerator.

Just kidding, how can it be possible to pour out the medicinal materials worth 5000 yuan after one boil?

At least you have to boil it a few more times, and you will not really have to pour it out until you are sure that there is no effect at all.

Law and wealth couple land.

Practicing martial arts is really costly.

After tidying up, he came to the table and looked at the bowl and the herbal soup on the plate, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

Although rationality told him that there should be no problem with the medicinal soup, even if it doesn't work, it won't kill anyone.

But I still feel a bit guilty in my heart. After all, there are more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, and I don’t know if there is any difference between the cooking method and the prescription requirements. What if there is another chemical reaction?

After much deliberation, he decided...to do an experiment.

Zhou Shen got up and opened the refrigerator, took out a piece of ham and chopped it in the kitchen.

Then he went out with two pieces of chopped ham.

Many people in rural areas raise native dogs, and they like to raise them free-range, and they gather in groups at night.

There are also many small villas in the new countryside. The family in front of him raised a big yellow dog, which wandered around the door every day.

Zhou Shen's eyes are very sharp now, and with the dim light around him, he quickly found the big yellow dog lying on the ground sleeping.

Hearing Zhou Shen's footsteps, he immediately raised his dog's head to look at him, saw that he was an "acquaintance" who often walked around, and then fell down again.

"Doggie~~ 嘬嘬嘬~~~"

Zhou Shen called twice, and then threw a piece of ham over.

The big yellow dog immediately ran over to pick up the ham and ate it.

Zhou Shen threw two more yuan, always attracting the big yellow dog to him, and then hugged it.

"My family has a lot of ham, walk around, come with me to eat..."

He hugged the big yellow dog that was barking "woo woo woo" and ran back home quickly.

When he saw Zhou Shen closing the door, the big yellow dog barked in fright.

"Wang!"

Zhou Shen grabbed it by the mouth: "Don't bark, grandma is sleeping... Come here, I'll give you ham."

Afraid of waking up grandma, Zhou Shen hurriedly took a few pieces of ham from the cutting board to the big yellow dog.

Taking advantage of its delicious taste, he put the remaining ham in the herbal soup on the plate.

Then bring the herbal soup to the rhubarb dog.

The big yellow dog raised its head and looked at him.

Zhou Shen knelt down and gently stroked its dog's head, and said with a smile: "Rhubarb, eat it quickly... Let me tell you, this medicinal soup is very expensive, it costs a few hundred yuan for just this, it's cheap for you. "

The big yellow dog hesitated for a few seconds, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the ham, and began to eat.

"Well, eat it quickly... lick the soup inside too... ok, that's great."

After Rhubarb ate up all the ham and herbal soup on the plate, Zhou Shen opened the door and let it out.

Watching Rhubarb running through the courtyard gate towards the door of the owner's house, Zhou Shen said with a chuckle, "See you tomorrow morning."

After closing the door, he picked up the porcelain plate that the dog had licked, broke it into pieces with both hands, and threw it into the trash can.

Turning around, he put the bowl of herbal soup into the refrigerator.

As long as the rhubarb is still alive and kicking tomorrow morning, it will be fine.

in case……

"Will not!"

Zhou Shen silently prayed for Rhubarb in his heart.

After going upstairs to take a bath, I began to practice the formula of longevity.

He didn't sleep until two o'clock in the morning.

……

……

Since he slept late last night, Zhou Shen didn't wake up until almost 6 o'clock in the morning.

I don't know if it's because of practicing Baduanjin and Changsheng Jue, but he feels that he is full of energy every day, and he won't feel tired after sleeping for a few hours.

Looking through the glass of the balcony, I realized that it was raining lightly outside, and the pattering rain hit the screen window that was not closed, and a large area of ​​the tiles on the balcony were wet.

Thinking of rhubarb, he immediately got up and dressed, and hurried downstairs.

The temperature has been very high for the past few days. After a light rain, the morning is still a bit chilly, and the air is filled with the smell of soil and various plants.

Zhou Shen came to the neighbor's house in front of him with an umbrella, pretended to be passing by, crossed the roadway next to the building, and continued walking forward.

Then, with a guilty conscience, he glanced at the dog house in the yard from the corner of his eye, but he didn't see Rhubarb.

There was a "click" in his heart.

Every time he took a walk in the morning, he would see Rhubarb sleeping in the dog house, but he didn't see it today. It was definitely not such a coincidence.

"Could it be... Rhubarb was really poisoned to death?"

Zhou Shen held an umbrella and searched around.

Zhou Shen takes a walk every morning, and the neighbors around him have long been used to it, so it is not surprising to see him out for a walk on a rainy day.

After searching around for a long time, I couldn't find it, and finally came to the southernmost part of the village, where I met Sun Qisheng, an old neighbor.

Sun Qisheng's son, Sun Haijun, and he grew up wearing open crotch pants. They played very well when they were young, but they were not in the same class for three years in junior high school, and their relationship faded.

Later, when he went to university, Sun Haijun learned to cook, and the two went their separate ways.

Now I heard that the hotel canteen was contracted in Jiangnan, and the house was also bought there, and I seldom come back during the Chinese New Year. It can be regarded as a passerby in each other's life.

Sun Qisheng pulled him and chatted for a while, his tone full of pride, and then asked him what he was doing now, when he planned to get married, buy a house...

Zhou Shen was absent-minded and perfunctory for a while, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a big yellow dog running through the hazy rain and fog.

He immediately ran after him.

In the back, Sun Qisheng, who was still not satisfied, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and raised his head just as he was about to persuade Zhou Shen to work hard and strive to buy a house, a car and a wife as soon as possible, but when he took a closer look, he was gone.

"Huh, what about people?"
