Practicing business and practicing medicine

Lao Pei finally made the trip down the mountain and made a lot of money delivering the medicine. Feeling happy, the two of them took a taxi to the "Bai Ling Winery" to buy a few kilograms of fine sorghum white.

"Xiao Bian! Did you know? This wine can be directly used as medicinal wine. At least half of the original wine used by Huang Boxi to prepare medicine is imported from here." Lao Pei smiled and gave some pointers.

"Really? It smells pretty good."

"Hahaha... This is the legendary bottle-opening incense, try it!" As he spoke, Lao Pei picked up a bottle of sample wine and handed it over.

Porcelain bottle, big belly and small mouth, old-fashioned wine bottle, I took it casually and smelled it.

"It's true, is this porcelain bottle made with a special process?" Bian Mu guessed with a smile.

"You are still smart! This kind of porcelain bottle can be regarded as a commercial advertising gimmick. Nothing can be seen on the surface. In fact, the inner wall of the porcelain bottle has many small holes that are invisible to the naked eye. The designer used the idea cleverly. Only air and wine can pass through. Not a drop can leak out. It is estimated that the internal and external air pressure has been carefully calculated." Lao Pei introduced a few words very expertly.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu couldn't help but think of the ancient vein pillow.

"Uncle Pei! This wine shop must have a history of more than a hundred years, right?"

"More than that, it's been three to four hundred years."

"Then this kind of porcelain bottle is not fired in their own porcelain kiln, right?"

"I've never heard of it! It should be processed by a third party!" Lao Pei was not sure.

"Shall we inquire? I have such a thing at hand..." As he spoke, Bian Mu told about his plan to ask a skilled craftsman to imitate a pulse pillow.

"Oh! That's a treasure! You should imitate one. In the future, your ability to feel your pulse will be even more powerful. However, the craftsman who made this kind of porcelain bottle may not be able to meet your requirements. Porcelain was a thing in the past, and it was high-end. What about technology! Look how young that clerk is, what does she know! Let’s find out more separately later!”

"Okay!" As he spoke, Bian Mu asked the female salesperson for a smaller empty wine bottle and planned to go back and think about it.

Stir-fried broccoli with shrimps, cold slices of crystal beef, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised vermicelli with quail eggs, and a fruitwood-roasted duck slice. Bian Mu worked tirelessly for nearly three hours to prepare several dishes to entertain Lao Pei.

"We've done too much! It's just the two of us, but you're too polite! You can eat it!" He said that, deeply feeling Bian Mu's sincerity in hospitality, and Lao Pei was very happy in his heart.

"I've been very physically exhausted recently and my appetite has increased a lot. I usually don't have any leftovers. I'll be happy if you eat and drink well!" As he spoke, Bian Mu would eat small thin pancakes specially made for roast duck, cucumber shreds, and sweet water green onion shreds. , sweet noodle sauce and other ingredients are brought to the table one by one.

We have met our close friends for a long time, with a thousand cups of wine, and while we were chatting and laughing, half a pound of sorghum was gone.

"I really didn't realize it. You can drink well enough!" Lao Pei said with a smile.

"I don't usually drink much. My grandpa said that if you drink too much liquor, you may not be able to match Cun Guan Chi. I'm so happy today! I'll have a few more drinks with you."

"You are young and have a lot of skills. If you sweat, it will be fine. Your grandpa has an old concept. There are no taboos! Just do not exceed the amount. By the way, take the time to go to the ghost market and look for the old version of "Gui Zang" "Book of Changes", when you have nothing to do, just flip through a few pages and you will gain something." Lao Pei suddenly mentioned the classic masterpiece "Gui Zang" of the Book of Changes.

According to the records of "Zhou Li Chunguan": "The three Yi methods of Taibu Zhang are called "Lianshan", the second is "Guizang", and the third is "Zhou Yi". The hexagrams in the scriptures are all eight, and the divisions are all sixty. There are four." The general idea is that "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Zhouyi" are three different divination methods, but their core content is composed of 64 individual hexagrams that overlap 8 sutra hexagrams.

"The Book of Changes" is well known, and Bian Mu has also dabbled in it a little, but "Gui Zang" is very unfamiliar to him.

"Isn't the Yi version of "Gui Zang" lost long ago?" Bian Mu responded casually.

"Those are all legends. There are actual bamboo slips unearthed from the Yi version of "Gui Zang", and they are indeed real. I went to the flea market, and it was a mess. You can't read it at all. Don't waste your time there. Provincial Library The borrowing procedures over there are too cumbersome, and you are usually so busy. Why not try your luck at the ghost market? With your old school skills and understanding, you will be able to get started quickly." Meimei took a big sip of white wine, and Lao Pei explained with a smile. After a while.

"You mean...this book will help improve my current medical skills?"

Hearing this, Lao Pei narrowed his eyes and smiled and shook his head.

"You always think that medical skills are your first weapon in the world. In fact, this is not the case. I have met many famous Chinese medicine experts who are better than you. They are young, sharp-edged, hot-tempered...all kinds of things. The result? Almost none of them finally reached the level of Nie Yixiong and Cen Songxue. Why?! They couldn't figure out the word 'hidden'!" When Lao Pei said this, there seemed to be a hint of regret in his eyes.

"Hide your name, hide your secrets, and then quietly work hard to improve your medical skills? Am I right to understand this?"

"It kind of means that, but it's not enough. You are a thoughtful person. At your age, you don't need to. Who among young people doesn't make mistakes?! Sometimes, making mistakes is not necessarily a bad thing, but you can't let yourself Become the target of public criticism, and everyone will be jealous of you, so... read that set of books carefully, and find ways to hide your edge. Don't let people inside and outside the hospital pay too much attention to you, interfere with you, or even find ways to harm you! Try to live in those In the blind spots of bad people, let them not see you. Moreover, medical skills cannot be too persistent, otherwise, you may follow the same old path of Qi Shangqi in the future, grinding in a specific circle at a specific time node, I'm afraid You will never get out of this life! In your good years, you can talk about people when you need to talk about people. When you need to play, just follow everyone and have fun for a few days. Don't dare to live too rigidly. As time goes by, people will become stupid." Maybe. After drinking, Lao Pei seemed a bit talkative today.

"In the secular life, I am among you, and you are among me. As time goes by, everyone has a sense of identity with each other, and they are not so taboo about me. Is that what I mean?"

"My opponent! Secular life is the most real and interesting. Don't reject it easily. Besides, a young male doctor keeps himself close to you all day long, completely separated from the secular life. How can you understand your patients in detail?! How? ? Relying on imagination? Guessing riddles?! Right! In my impression, Nie Yixiong is... greedy for money and interests, especially reputation, very good face, and somewhat lustful, but you have to admit, he is indeed quite a He is a great doctor, but compared with him, you are still far behind!"

"Isn't medical products equal to academic products? Only those with high academic qualifications can reach the pinnacle of medical skills?" Bian Mu did not dare to agree with Lao Pei's statement casually.

"You are a bit naive. A master-level expert in traditional Chinese medicine was a very worldly person at that time. Otherwise, how could he know the patient's emotions and desires? What are you afraid of? What do you love? If you don't understand the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of people in the mortal world, how do you sort out the patients? Pathological logic?! Right? Only people with vulgarity can be elegant. You are too young! If you don’t crawl around in the world for a few years, the medical skills you master will only be two skins apart from the specific conditions of 99% of patients. , Oil is oil, water is water, over time, your current medical skills will decline significantly!"

After hearing this, Bian Mu was stunned.

After a while, Bian Mu realized that what Lao Pei said was reasonable, not wrong, it was deafening.
