"I am the manager of the Hu family. You can call me Mr. Hu."

The old man introduced himself and coughed dryly. Seeing that Song Che was determined to win the books inside, he had to say, "Okay, because of your study and love for medicine, I allow you to go in and read one. Remember, you can only have one. And be careful not to break the books."

Song Che smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will treat these books like a patient."

After saying that, Song Che walked in with a swagger and pulled out a book from the bookshelf, "Legend of Retrieval of the Curse of Strange Symptoms".

This book was just put on by the staff, and Song Che took a fancy to it at first sight. This is why he persistently wanted to go in and borrow it!

Seeing this, Butler Hu's eyes lit up, walked to him and asked, "Did you have been eyeing this book from the very beginning?"

"Wang Bichang's acceptance, which Chinese medicine doctor doesn't want to see it?" Song Che said, but his eyes were looking at the book.

Wang Bichang, a master of medical science in the Qing Dynasty and the imperial physician of Emperor Jiaqing, was regarded as the last pure Xinglin national player in China!

When the public in the market only knows the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", few people know that Wang Bichang's medical books are also regarded as textbook-like existence in the real Chinese medicine circle!

Wang Bichang's masterpieces handed down from generation to generation are mainly five volumes of "Liaofu Collection", namely "Drug-level Pulse Distinguishing", "Drug-level Diagnosis", "Drug-level Medicine Distinguishing", "Ophthalmology Heart Method", and "Yujiyao Collection".

However, Wang Bichang actually has 4 volumes of "Lang Fu Collection" that have not been published yet.

And the book "Chat Fu Ji·Selection of Strange Symptoms" at hand is one of them!

"This is a rubbing." Song Che recognized at a glance that this was not the original work of Wang Bichang.

Butler Hu said angrily: "The real manuscript is worth at least 200 million yuan. Have you ever seen anyone put out 200 million yuan casually?"

Song Che couldn't help laughing.

Based on the current antique industry, Wang Bichang's manuscripts are estimated to be sold for 400,000 to 500,000.

The value of this book "Lang Fu Ji·Secret Symptoms" in hand is indeed sold for 200 million yuan if it is an authentic work!

And don’t forget that the value of this traditional Chinese medicine classic is not only the value of cultural relics, but also the collection of the highest secret recipes of traditional Chinese medicine!

The reason why the Yuqingtang Hu family made a lot of money is because of the prescriptions accumulated by ancestors!

Given this, there is no need to think that Butler Hu was too petty just now. After all, the information recorded in this medical book is very valuable!

When Song Che looked at it, he was equivalent to making a net profit of over 100 million!

"Most of the prescriptions recorded in this book have been widely used, and a small number of them have been replaced by Western medicine in terms of use. It is probably not helpful to you, but it is not harmful to look at the experience of the ancestors."

Butler Hu muttered, and then continued to tidy up his study.

Everyone was in peace and was in charge of their own affairs.

It was not until the sun sank the west mountain and the afterglow of dusk was shining on the desk that Song Che finished reading the entire book.

He put his hands on the book, closed his eyes and relaxed his eyes, and seemed to be savoring the taste of immersing himself in the sea of ​​books.

When he opened his eyes, he found that there was silence in the study room, and only Butler Hu sat quietly at the desk.

"How is your taste?" Mr. Hu asked with a smile.

Song Che said: "It's not bad, it's so wonderful."

Mr. Hu’s smile showed a deeper meaning: “Then I will just take the exam for you. What is your biggest experience after reading the whole book?”

Song Che thought about it and said, "The deeds are so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Butler Hu would smile.

In fact, there are countless famous quotes in the whole book, but what impressed Song Che the most was neat handwriting.

Although it is a rubbing, Wang Bichang's calligraphy attainments are still vividly displayed. It can be said that this is a calligrapher in traditional Chinese medicine!

Don’t think that calligraphy has nothing to do with medical skills.

Take the example of "drafting a doctor's order" that is widely complained to the people nowadays.

Logically speaking, doctor's advice is equivalent to the guidance given to patients by doctors, which is seriously related to life and health. However, many doctors don't know whether their handwriting is poor, or they are too casual and self-loose. The doctor's advice sheets are written more sloppy than the other, and they are almost written into a heavenly book!

Anyway, the patients basically can't understand it.

Influenced by Old Man Song, Song Che has always paid attention to writing the doctor's orders neatly and clearly because he understands that a neatly written medicine sheet often gives patients a sense of security.

But compared to Wang Bichang's calligraphy attainments, Song Che still felt ashamed.

Because when he reads the text, he naturally feels a sense of peace and comfort.

It seems that this medical book has the effect of curing diseases and nourishing people.

The right judgment is right!

Just when Song Che was deeply moved, Mr. Hu also sighed: "After reading this medical book, the ancestors of the Hu family had the idea of ​​opening a pharmacy. They took it as their mission to "help the world and the people" and insisted on practicing 'truth' and 'element'. They were about to become famous all over the country, but the end... Alas, the middle way was dead!"

The ancestor mentioned by Guanjia Hu is thought to be Hu Xueyan, the founder of Yu Qingtang.

Speaking of the reason why Hu Xueyan founded Yuqingtang, there are still many people talking about it today.

After all, before this, Hu Xueyan had nothing to do with the pharmaceutical industry.

A more broad statement is what Mr. Hu said that Hu Xueyan was a patriotic red-top businessman. He couldn't stand the tyrants of the pharmaceutical industry at that time, so he decided to open a conscientious pharmacy by himself.

In addition, there are also conspiracy theories.

Some people with dark mentalities even said that Hu Xueyan opened a pharmacy purely to give him a "moderation" medicine, because Hu Xueyan is very lustful and has strong sexual desire, and there are more than 30 wives and concubines alone. There are also rumors that he requires these wives and concubines to wear crotch pants at home so that it is convenient for him to "lift a horse and raise a gun" anytime and anywhere.

To be honest, those who can make up such rumors are simply stupid and bad.

If Hu Xueyan really wants to satisfy his own desires, he buys several prescriptions and prescribes them by himself and takes them by himself, wouldn’t it be delicious enough?

In order to dispense medicine for myself, I went to open a pharmacy for three years without profit. Do you think the most red-top businessman in the Qing Dynasty was stupid because of the money?

To take a step back, at that time, Hu Xueyan's business, money shops, silver shops, arms and silk shops were each a treasure pot of gold making every day. If it were purely for profit-seeking, there was no need to get involved in the pharmaceutical industry with average market profits at that time.

There is a saying that Song Che agrees quite well.

That is, Hu Xueyan opened a pharmacy to seek "peace of mind".

Because most of his history of making a fortune was speculation and was quite suspicious of being unworthy of his position. Therefore, after he became rich, Hu Xueyan set up a porridge factory, a refugee bureau, a charity hall, a charity school, a medical bureau, etc., just to accumulate some blessings for himself.

Unfortunately, it's a pity.

A generation of red-topped businessmen still couldn't escape the misfortune of scouting their homes in that chaotic era...

Perhaps this lesson has led to the descendants of Yu Qingtang's lifelong pursuit of the purpose of making money in silence.

"In fact, the ancestors of the Hu family had the chance to escape. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi assigned a task to the ancestor and found a prescription. As long as the preparation is done, the Hu family will be safe. Unfortunately, it was not done in the end..." Mr. Hu sighed.

Song Che's heart moved and asked, "What is the prescription?"
