Chapter 423: I've been caught in the rain, so I want to tear up other people's umbrellas
Fortunately, at night, a cool breeze blew from the south, and the daytime heat gradually subsided.
Everyone was able to get some good sleep.
Because there were too many mosquitoes, many imperial guards felt it was too stuffy to sleep in the house, so they slept on the floor in the corridor.
Although I also used spices and herbs to repel mosquitoes, I still couldn't prevent them.
In the morning, many people's bodies, faces, and any exposed skin are visited by mosquitoes.
Early in the morning, Lu Zhenzhen saw several people whose eyes were so swollen that they couldn't open them, some whose mouths were swollen like two sausages, and some whose ears were bitten and swollen and transparent. There were really all kinds of people in different poses.
jaw-dropping.
There were several others who had red rashes on their bodies that were itchy and painful.
Some people also suffer from diarrhea and acclimatization.
At least half of them looked listless.
Lu Zhenzhen sent someone to Nanyue County to invite a famous doctor from the county.
Ding Xiang was still a little puzzled. Why didn't they just call Dr. Qi over? Wasn't his medical skills any better than the county doctor?
However, Lu Zhenzhen knew that everyone has their specialties, and even doctors have their strengths and weaknesses.
For example, doctors in mountain cities are good at anorectal medicine, doctors in Yunnan are good at treating fungal poisoning, and doctors in Qingdao are good at treating gout. This is all due to the local climate and environment.
The climate in South Vietnam is humid and humid, so local doctors must have their own unique tricks for treating mosquito bites.
Moreover, Qi Chaihu was following Fu Zhiyi at the moment, ready for the golden cicada to appear at any time, so there was no need to disturb her because of such a small matter.
But there is no need to explain this to Dingxiang, just ask her to pass the message on.
Within half a day, the doctor from the famous "Baicaotang" in Nanyue was invited. This was because Fu Xiaoyi, after hearing Dingxiang's message, asked the village head who stayed in the village and learned that the herbal tea of "Baicaotang" could remove dampness, and also treat bruises and insect bites. So he took the local village head to invite the doctor.
The doctor at Baicaotang was also surnamed Huang. He was thin and small, with a goatee, and looked inconspicuous.
His medical skills are quite good.
After the consultation, I was given a few bottles of ointment for mosquito bites.
The ointment looked ordinary and had a unpleasant smell, but it felt cool after I applied it, and I felt much more comfortable. The areas where I was bitten by mosquitoes no longer felt painful or itchy.
As for the red rashes on the body, according to Doctor Huang, they are called eczema, which is caused by excessive moisture in the body.
This is easy. Just buy two large buckets of herbal tea called "癍旧" from his shop. Drink one bowl a day for two or three days and it will be cured.
Hearing that they were from other places with their accents, Dr. Huang enthusiastically recommended anti-parasitic sachets and medicinal herbs.
Let them fumigate the house and yard before going to bed every day. This will not only repel mosquitoes, snakes, cockroaches and ants, but also help them sleep.
He also recommended his pharmacy's most famous activating oil for bruises and injuries. As long as you find the right symptoms, applying this activating oil and massaging it in can greatly relieve the pain of bruises and injuries and help you recover faster.
Tang Liang and others were still skeptical, but Lu Zhenzhen was very supportive.
After all, she had seen the famous Huoluo Oil and herbal tea for removing dampness in Guangdong Province in later generations.
Everyone readily agreed to order some of each.
Doctor Huang was even more satisfied when he saw that Lu Zhenzhen, the master, was so straightforward and generous.
I also suggested that Lu Zhenzhen buy some Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder to prevent heatstroke and reduce fever as a precaution.
This reminded Lu Zhenzhen that this so-called Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder was the initial version of the later Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, which was simply a miracle medicine for dispelling summer heat.
Later generations have developed countless new uses for Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.
If Dr. Huang hadn't reminded her, Lu Zhenzhen really couldn't remember it for a moment.
This is good stuff, you have to stock up.
Lu Zhenzhen had ample funds and readily placed a number of orders.
Both parties were happy for a moment. Lu Zhenzhen felt that her life was protected, and Dr. Huang felt that it was rare to meet such a generous sucker.
They both like each other very much.
Doctor Huang held the silver note in his hand and happily took his men to Baicaotang to move the various medicinal herbs and ointments purchased by Lu Zhenzhen.
Dingxiang looked at Dr. Huang's grin, which was so severe that his teeth were showing, and she strongly suspected that her fourth grandmother had been cheated out of money.
But she didn't dare to say it.
Although Dr. Huang doesn't look very reliable, the medicinal herbs he produces are indeed reliable.
By the evening, the swelling on the mosquito bites that I had used his ointment had subsided by half. Apart from anything else, at least I could open my eyes to see people and open my mouth to drink water and talk.
As for the "癍痧" herbal tea, all the men who were not afraid of death or bloodshed knelt before it.
The first person who drank it vomited on the spot.
The people behind were frightened and wanted to run away.
Tang Liang stopped them, "This is all because of the care and love that Master Fu's wife has for all of us. Look at what you're like. It's just a bowl of medicinal tea, but you're acting like you're asking for your life! Drink it! We can't let Madam Lu down! Whoever doesn't drink, I'll show you how I'll deal with him! I'll drink first as a sign of respect—"
Tang Liang spoke righteously, then picked up a bowl, closed his eyes and drank.
"Gulp gulp—ah—"
The defense was broken on the spot.
The brothers below looked at his miserable appearance and laughed wildly, slapping their thighs.
Tang Liang wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and looked at the bowl in his hand with lingering fear. How could there be such bitter and unpalatable medicine in this world?
And the people of South Vietnam actually call this herbal tea?
How could this be tea? This is clearly a medicine more bitter than Coptis chinensis, okay? The kind that would shave ten years off your lifespan after drinking one bowl.
Tang Liang looked at his brothers who were laughing at him and smiled coldly. He had been caught in the rain, so he wanted to tear up other people's umbrellas!
After giving the order and watching his brothers drink the scabies herbal tea painfully one by one, he immediately felt relieved.
Turning around, Lu Zhenzhen was greeting the maids and women in the farm: "Come, come, let's eat some tortoise jelly. Although it tastes a bit bitter, it has a unique flavor when poured with osmanthus honey. It can also relieve summer heat and clear away heat. It's good for women."
The men were speechless when they smelled the scent of osmanthus honey.
No, there is a less bitter tortoise jelly, why do they have to drink it for eczema?
The answer is that Guilinggao is too expensive and too cold for eczema, so women should not drink it.
As for men, who are full of vigor and vitality, it is good to drink more herbal tea to reduce internal heat.
Lu Zhenzhen brought four maids with her, each of them had a small porcelain cup filled with mostly black tortoise jelly, which was poured with sweet amber osmanthus honey, which neutralized the bitterness of the tortoise jelly and made it very refreshing.
A few girls who couldn't tolerate the bitter taste were able to accept it after taking two bites.
