Chapter 580: Pork Stew is Compared to Elixir (Part 2)

"Director Jiang, Dr. Fang!"

Fang Han and Jiang Yue'e returned to the delivery room again, and Dr. Gao was still helping the mother give birth.

"How is it?" Jiang Yue'e walked up to ask.

"It's still not possible, it's too difficult." Dr. Gao shook his head.

"Don't worry, save some energy."

Fang Han also walked forward, stood on the other side of the mother, picked up a towel and helped the mother wipe the sweat from her forehead, and asked, "Can you still hold on?"

"I...I can." The mother gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words from the gaps.

"If possible, then let's endure the pain first, save some energy, and regenerate later."

"Wait for rebirth?" Dr. Gao was shocked. Can he still wait for rebirth?

"I can." The mother squeezed out a few words from the gap between her teeth again, and dense sweat oozed out of her forehead again.

Fang Han once again helped the mother wipe the sweat from her forehead and said softly: "Relax, breathe evenly, and don't be nervous."

As he spoke, Fang Han gave the mother a comforting smile and reached out to hold the mother's hand: "Don't worry, it's okay."

"Yes." The mother nodded and looked at the smile on Fang Han's face. She suddenly felt much more at ease. Her hand was slightly hard and she grabbed Fang Han's hand in her hand, feeling a rare warmth.

As the saying goes, women are weak, but as mothers, they are strong. No matter how weak a woman is, she can burst out with infinite potential when giving birth. However, the pain during childbirth makes the woman bit her teeth tightly, holding Fang Han and looking at Fang Han's smile, it seems that she can survive no matter how great the difficulties are.

Fang Han stood by the side, whispering to the mother and distracting her.

Dr. Gao also guessed that Fang Han and Jiang Yue'e might have prescribed the prescription, and they should be waiting for the medicine now.

"Director Jiang, Dr. Fang, this is delivered from the kitchen."

About half an hour later, a nurse pushed the door and walked in, holding a thermal bucket in her hand.

Jiang Yue'e walked up to take the insulation bucket and walked to the side to open it. Suddenly, a smell of meat spread in the delivery room. Even the woman who was giving birth subconsciously looked at the insulation bucket that Jiang Yue'e opened.

Jiang Yue'e poured out a bowl of broth from the insulation bucket, along with some boiled pork.

The chef was very concerned about what Fang Han told him, using a pressure cooker. Although it was only 20 minutes, the pork had been boiled and the meat was rotten.

"It smells so good, is this broth?" Dr. Gao walked to the side and took a look.

“Yes, broth.”

Jiang Yue'e picked up the broth, tried the temperature, then took the broth to the mother and handed the broth to the mother: "Drink a little, drink as much as you can."

The mother had a bad taste before giving birth and didn't eat much. In addition, she had been giving birth for four hours and had almost exhausted her energy. When she smelled the broth, her index finger moved. Seeing the broth handed over by Jiang Yue'e, the mother reached out to take it, and her other hand also let go of Fang Han, put it in her mouth and took a sip, and scooped a piece of boiled pork with a spoon and ate it carefully.

"Don't hurry, eat slowly." Fang Han whispered from the side.

The mother held the broth and drank it slowly. After drinking one bowl, Jiang Yue'e poured another bowl for the mother and drank four bowls in a row. The mother then burped and whispered embarrassedly: "I won't drink it anymore."

"There are still a lot left. Are anyone drinking it?" Jiang Yue'e asked Dr. Gao and the two nurses with a smile.

"We won't drink it." The nurse shook her head quickly. Doctor Gao wanted to know what herbal medicines were in the soup, and said with a smile: "I'm really a little hungry, I'll drink some."

Jiang Yue'e took a small bowl and poured a bowl for Dr. Gao. Dr. Gao picked it up and tasted it, gently smashed his lips: "Hey, is this simple broth?"

"What else can it be?" Jiang Yue'e asked with a smile.

"No, this is really a simple broth?" Dr. Gao still didn't understand. The mother was having difficulty giving birth at this moment. Although she was exhausted too much, drinking some broth simply wouldn't have any effect, right?

"Think about it again, why do you want to give the mother a meat soup?" Jiang Yue'e asked with a smile.

When Jiang Yue'e asked this, Dr. Gao's face became much more serious. He pondered for a while. After a while, he said: "Pigs are water animals. The pork is fat and greasy. It can nourish kidney fluid, nourish blood and moisten dryness, and has the effect of nourishing yin and yang... Director Jiang, are you planning to use pork to nourish kidney and yin, nourish blood and moisten dryness to help mothers develop amniotic fluid?"

In ancient times, the five elements were matched with five kinds of livestock, and pigs were used as water livestock. In "Huainanzi·Shizexun", it says: "The animal is pissed", and Han Gaoluo's note: "Pig, water livestock." "The Book of Rites·Monthly Order" also records that "the wheat and sheep are eaten in the moon of spring" (the month of the first spring)"

Kong Yingda of the Tang Dynasty also recorded this: "Chicken is a wood animal, sheep is a fire animal, cattle is a earth animal, dog is a gold animal, and pig is a water animal."

Pigs are water animals, and the corresponding five elements of the kidneys in the five internal organs are also water. Using water to replenish water and nourishes kidneys and yin is the reason why Fang Han uses pork soup.

Many people do not seek to understand gold, wood, water, fire, and earth very much, but only understand it from the surface. Just like foreigners understand China's five elements, the five internal organs are obviously grown from flesh, so how can they be gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?

You should know that the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements mentioned in Taoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine refer to simple things, and wood does not refer to wood. The Five Elements Yin and Yang refers to a characteristic.

This characteristic is shared by matter of this property. For example, why does the liver belong to wood? In nature, only trees and plants can directly absorb the energy of the sun, because it can directly use solar energy to produce energy for itself using photosynthesis.

Similarly, all the food we eat, nutrient molecules are not extracted, and before reaching the liver, they cannot bring energy to the human body. The nutrition of the liver is the nutrition of the human body. The nutrition of the food in the stomach and intestines does not actually participate in the circulation of the body. It must be processed by the liver before it can be used by the human body. From this point of view, the role of the liver in the human body is similar to the photosynthesis of plants, so the liver and plants have similarities in some aspects.

The Five Elements can be said to be a systematic view of ancient Chinese philosophy. In ancient China, people used yin and yang and five elements to distinguish everything between heaven and earth. The five elements mentioned here refer to a common characteristic that everything has.

One produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things. In ancient Chinese thought, everything is divided into yin and yang. Yin and yang can be said to be two major categories of everything. In addition to yin and yang, it is yin and yin. Yin and yang are relative, which is also a characteristic.

The Five Elements are another division under Yin and Yang. Everything in the world has the characteristics of the Five Elements. Transcending beyond the Five Elements means that it has transcended people's cognition and has transcended God. Therefore, in the Chinese myth system, there is a saying that it transcends the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements.

Among the five elements, wood has the characteristics of growth and stripping; fire has the characteristics of heat and upward; soil has the characteristics of growth and cultivation; metal has the characteristics of calmness and harvesting; water has the characteristics of cold and downward.

The five elements are fundamentally generated and restrained, and are endless. They have common characteristics, both in the world and the internal system of the human body. This is also one of the outlines of traditional Chinese medicine for treating diseases.

If you do not understand Yin and Yang, do not understand the Five Elements, and are not a good doctor, for Chinese medicine practitioners, Yin and Yang and Five Elements must be understood and mastered.

"Yeah, it's pretty good, it's quite sensible."

Jiang Yue'e smiled and nodded. She asked just now if she was still drinking soup, but it actually meant to take the exam for the high school teaching.

Jiang Yue'e was also a little surprised just now when Fang Han borrowed pork to nourish the kidney and yin. The internal organs of the human body correspond to the five elements, and the five elements are mutually generated and restrained. People who study traditional Chinese medicine basically understand this principle. However, if Jiang Yue'e can really use the five elements so well, she is really ashamed of herself.

"This is really OK, Dr. Fang's attention?"

Although Dr. Gao thought of the characteristics of pork and could use pork to solve difficult problems, she was still a little confused.

"Yes, it's Fang Han's attention. Whether it's OK, you'll know after a while."

Jiang Yue'e and Dr. Gao were talking to each other. After drinking pork soup, the pain seemed to be much relieved, and the whole person became a little lazy.

It took about half an hour before the pain increased again.

"Relax, don't be nervous, adjust your breathing." Fang Han held the mother's hand next to him and comforted her softly.

"Yeah." The mother nodded. After drinking the broth, she seemed to feel the body was filled with strength again.

"Pay attention to my rhythm, and I will start exercising my strength." Jiang Yue'e was responsible for delivering her baby himself.

After forty minutes, a baby's cry finally came from the delivery room, and the mother also let out a long breath, as if she had used all her strength.

"Congratulations, it's a boy." Dr. Gao picked up the child, checked it, and placed the child on the electronic scale next to it.

"Eight pounds and seven ounces, the child is healthy."

The mother was lying on the delivery table, looking back at the child not far away, with a kind smile on her face. The baby who had just made a sound was covered with amniotic fluid. After Dr. Gao and the nurse helped the baby clean it, the baby who was originally crying also calmed down.

Dr. Gao placed the child obliquely on the stroller beside the mother. The child opened his eyes and stared at the mother, and kept spitting out dirty things from his mouth.

"I'm so wide when I'm just born?" This was the first time Fang Han saw a newborn child.

"Now the conditions are better and the nutrition is better. The child's eyes are open as soon as he was born. If it were the case, the child's eyes would not be very open during the confinement period." Dr. Gao said with a smile on the side.

"It's wrinkled, so ugly." Fang Han said with a smile.

"You say this in front of someone else's mother, be careful of being scolded." Jiang Yue'e smiled and joked.

"Dr. Fang, thank you." The mother thanked her softly.

"Stay good rest and see the child." Fang Han smiled and pushed the stroller closer.

"Yes." The mother looked at the child, her eyes full of love. From this moment on, she was her mother.
