Chapter 827
Four introductory basic courses of traditional Chinese medicine: looking, listening, asking and touching.
After the diagnosis, it should be "smelling the diagnosis".
"The second round of competition: Distinguish the medicine!"
Zhao Huishan snapped her fingers after she announced that it was finished.
Immediately afterwards, a black curtain was slowly pulled open in front of the hall.
A huge Chinese medicine cabinet!
"nice one!"
Mu Chunfeng's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but applaud.
Even Guilingtang, Wu Yue Sect and even Song Che were looking at the Chinese medicine cabinet with bright eyes.
In pharmacies and pharmacies, traditional Chinese medicine cabinets are standard.
But this common standard is extremely particular.
People in the world always pay attention to how expensive medicinal materials are, but few people will notice the value of traditional Chinese medicine cabinets.
It can be said that a good Chinese medicine cabinet is priceless and has no market value.
And the Chinese medicine cabinet that is placed in front of everyone is undoubtedly the best among the best!
"The best Hainan Huanghuali wood." Wu Yuanshan was very vicious and saw the material of the medicine cabinet at a glance.
Driven by film and television novels, many people think that the most precious one among wood is the golden nanmu.
But in the eyes of those who truly understand the art, only Huanghuali wood is qualified to be called the emperor of wood.
The most important thing is that the materials required to make the medicine cabinet are more suitable for Huanghuali wood than Jinshi Nanmu!
Golden nanmu has a fatal flaw and is destined to be unable to make a medicine cabinet: it is cork!
It is difficult to preserve the medicinal power of medicinal materials, but it is also easy to get dirty.
Huanghuali wood is a hardwood that perfectly matches all attributes. The wood is fine, soft texture, yellow and moist, fragrant and can even be used as medicine.
Of course, the many advantages of Huanghuali wood are also destined to be of high value. Nowadays, ordinary Huanghuali wood alone is comparable to gold of the same weight.
The medicine cabinet in front of me is 1.7 meters high and 1.5 meters wide. So much high-quality yellow rosewood is piled up, even if there is a mine at home, it cannot be afforded, unless it is the Cullinan Diamond Mine.
"And this carving craftsmanship is obviously made by famous masters." Grandma Long also showed a covetous look.
"Is this the medicine cabinet from Chen Liji?" Mu Chunfeng tentatively said.
"Yes, this medicine cabinet comes from Chen Liji." Zhao Huishan answered: "The medicine cabinet was manufactured during the Wanli period of the Daming Dynasty. Later, during the Second Opium War, the British and French forces captured Guangcheng, and the medicine cabinet was also stolen."
When everyone heard this past, they sighed.
That history of bullying fully interprets what it means to be beaten after being weak.
And the medicinal cabinet in front of you is just one of the many cultural relics that have been wandering overseas.
As for Chen Liji, he is an old-fashioned pharmacy shop known as the four major pharmacies in China, along with Tongrentang of Yanjing, Qingyutang of Tianzhou and Yekaitai of Ezhou.
His research and attainment in medicinal materials has ranked among the best in China for a long time. Naturally, the workmanship and quality of medicinal materials cabinets are also the existence of the President of China!
"When the British army broke into Chen Liji, they wanted to grab ginseng and other medicinal materials, but found that the cabinet was good, so they simply carried it on a ship and transported it back to the British Empire, and it fell into the hands of a nobleman." Zhao Huishan said: "A year ago, this medicine cabinet was supposed to be auctioned by Christie's Auction. Mr. Huo happened to be doing business in the UK. After hearing about this, he paid a lot of money to buy the medicine cabinet and transported it back."
Song Che has also heard that Huo Changsheng has transferred his family's business to the UK in recent years.
After all, the gambling industry is a gray area. Apart from Macau and Hong Kong, the mainland cannot expand, so it can only move overseas.
However, in the eyes of the public, Huo Changsheng is not a patriotic businessman, he is a typical egoist.
Just say that Huo Changsheng spent a lot of money to buy the medicinal cabinet and transport it back, but did not hand it over to the country. It was obvious that he had other plans!
"Now, my grandfather meant that he wanted to give this medicine cabinet as a prize for this exchange meeting to the winner." Huo Jingwen spoke again: "And the topic of this round is also in the medicine cabinet."
"Is it necessary for us to find the designated medicinal materials from the medicine cabinet by identifying the breath of medicinal materials?" Mu Chunfeng had already guessed the content of the question.
Huo Jingwen nodded, waved his hand, and someone went up with the lottery box.
"Let me do this round." Shang Ke volunteered: "Although my Chinese medicine skills are average, my sense of smell is absolutely right, and the basic medicinal flavors can be distinguished."
Song Che thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
The other three families sent Wu Xingrong, Long Yuanni and Shanzinnan (the Tianzintang follower who gave Wu Yuanshan a hundred years of mountain ginseng).
"You pointed out the cabinets where the medicinal materials are stored according to the names of the medicinal materials they have drawn." Qiu Sheng explained: "As long as you do not violate the rules, it will be fine if you paste them and smell them."
Four representative players drew draws one after another, and Shang Ke drew it was Fuling!
Seeing this answer, Shang Ke almost swears.
Poria cocos have no smell at all!
Wu Xingrong drew the lottery and couldn't help but say surprise: "Dad, I drew the lottery!"
Seeing Wu Xingrong's cheerful look, Wu Yuanshan wanted to turn against this stupid son.
Asafoetida is actually a plant resin. It can be used as medicine to treat carnivorous stagnation, blood stasis and abdominal pain, abdominal distension and insect accumulation.
But the most famous thing about asafoetidae in Chinese herbal medicine is not the effect, but the medicine is so smelly!
It tastes very close to the feces!
Such a pungent medicinal material is naturally easy to distinguish and find, and it is almost a bonus question.
But you can just be happy secretly. People would think you like the smell of feces!
Like the mountain ginseng man in Tianshen Hall, he was very wise. After drawing the lottery, he didn't say a word, neither sad nor happy.
What he got was also a bonus question: Houttuynia cordata.
The smell is equally pungent and even makes people sick.
As for Long Yuanni of Wuyue Sect, she had a very good luck. She drew Angelica, which had a sweet smell.
“Let’s start…”
"etc!"
Shang Ke suddenly shouted crisply and raised the sticky note: "I have objections. In the first round we drew the one with the strangest origin among the four patients. In the second round, I drew the Poria cocos that had no taste at all. It was almost the most difficult to draw. This is a coincidence."
"What do you mean? I think our secret operation is specifically targeting you." Qiu Sheng shouted: "What are you? It's worth our time."
"We are hard to say what we are, but some people are not even good. These are facts that I just witnessed last night. I need to help Mr. Qiu recall it." Song Che sneered.
Qiu Sheng was immediately angry and embarrassed.
He ignored Qiu Sheng's sad and angry expression, looked at the lottery box, and then looked at Huo Jingwen.
The Huo family is a giant in the gambling industry, and it is completely easy to do some secret operations that can be cheated!
"Doctor Song suspects that there is something wrong with this lottery box?" Huo Jingwen raised his hand openly: "If you have any questions, you can check the box now, but I have something to say first. If no problem is found, you must apologize to everyone in public."
"What if the problem is found?" Song Che asked.
"Qiu Sheng will take responsibility for the consequences!" Huo Jingwen said.
Song Che:???
I thought Huo Jingwen would be very proud to say that he would take all the responsibility himself.
As a result, this guy turned the blame on Qiu Sheng.
Chapter completed!
