Chapter 266 Tongrentang Angong Bezoar
"I tell you, I buy antiques and paintings, in fact, it is entirely for investment, not for viewing from the perspective of appreciation and love. Many novels write about the protagonists who buy antiques for national justice and for world peace. This spirit is commendable.
But I am not noble. Anyway, even the friendship store can sell antiques to foreigners in a noble way. Why can't he sell it in the future? Isn't it better to sell it for money to open a pharmaceutical factory or a hospital?
Isn't it okay to give more patients the opportunity to treat, and to provide employment and support the family? So don't be stubborn in everything, don't be timid, hey, what do you think? Do you understand after I said so much?"
Gu Lin, Ying Yuanyue and Chen Zheng nodded one after another, "Yes, yes, what you said is right."
It looks like a very perfunctory expression. Walking on the streets of Beijing, who has time to pay attention to you? Look at the Tiananmen Square, look at the city hall, look at the Qianmen Street, you don’t have enough eyes to see.
Chen Xia was so angry that he rolled his eyes all the way.
The reason why he explained so verbally was definitely not because he was guilty and was afraid that he would be called a cultural relics dealer and a traitor in the future.
Today they are going to Tongrentang Pharmacy.
It is the pharmacy of Bai Jingqi and Bai Qiye in "The Great Mansion", Baicao Hall, and of course this is a film and television work, and the prototype is Tongrentang.
Decades later, what is the scariest thing in the capital?
Official hats are scarce, courtyards are scarce, and antique calligraphy and paintings are scarce.
But there is another thing that will not be scarce in the future, but will be almost extinct, that is, the old medicine of Tongrentang.
Note that it is an old medicine, an old medicine made of old prescriptions and old medicinal materials, rather than the "new medicine" that later sold dog meat with sheep's name.
Speaking of Tongrentang’s old medicine, it is absolutely neat.
For example, herbs must be selected manually one by one to remove impurities from soil, and cut off the parts that are not medicinal and therapeutically effective, and then steam, fry, moxibustion and other processes to be appropriately prepared and stored for later use.
For example, when making pills with medicine, the ingredients must be evenly matched and the portion is accurate, otherwise they will be reworked. Even if there are small pores, concave and convex bubbles on the pill, uneven sealing butts, unclear hot characters, and not bright in color, they are all considered unqualified products, and they are reworked or made separately.
When the twelfth generation boss Le Dayi found that there was a residue in the medicine when he was taking Lingqiao Jiedu Pills, he checked the Luosie himself.
It was found that the bottom of the sieve mesh was soft, the size of the sieve mesh was different, the residue could not be clean, and the quality could not be guaranteed. So I used a knife to cut all the unqualified sieve bottoms and replaced them immediately to ensure the quality of the sieve medicine.
Look, the boss of the boss will take the medicine in person, which is definitely a conscientious drug.
Do you dare to take those drugs later on?
Moreover, at this time, there is another priority for the old medicines in Tongrentang, that is, the medicinal materials are definitely real materials, and they will never be adulterated, and they will never be inferior to them.
Many people later called the Chinese medicine unsuccessful and a liar, which has a lot to do with the fraudulent materials or the use of inferior products as good ones.
Take Tongrentang’s most famous “Angong Niuhuang Pills” as an example, which contains three precious medicinal herbs:
The Jingniuhuang, rhino horns and musk in Zhangjiakou have to be granular "domain".
What happened to these three medicines later?
Both beef ox and musk are artificially synthesized. The country has a policy that prohibits the use of rhino horns, so buffalo horns are replaced by buffalo horns.
It is artificially synthesized and valuable buffalo horns. It would be strange if this medicine is effective.
A slight difference can lead to a thousand miles of loss.
So later, the "Lao'an Gong Niuhuang Pills" in society were all fryed to more than tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan. The key is that there is no price, and there are few real products.
Some readers may not know much about this "Angong Niuhuang Pill", which is a strange medicine.
In 2002, Phoenix TV host Liu Hairuo encountered a train derailment incident in the UK, causing him to fall into a coma. At that time, he had been declared brain dead by a British hospital and suggested that he give up treatment.
Later, Liu Hairuo was taken back to China for treatment. After careful treatment by doctors, he gradually recovered and restored consciousness. Liu Hairuo was pulled back from the brink of death.
The main treatment medicine here is Angong Niuhuang Pills.
(Of course, they are a reporter, and they use "old medicines" rather than those "new medicines" that fool people.)
Let me give you another simple example. If patients with fever, especially those with unknown causes, or those with clear causes but high fever cannot subside, if they can use the Angong Niuhuang Pills of Zhenzong, the effect will be absolutely bearable, and the symptomatic treatment will be absolutely OK.
There are also those patients with stroke, severe brain trauma caused by car accidents and other critical neurological patients. As long as they get Lao Angong Niuhuang Pills from decades ago, some miracles may occur.
But this medicine cannot be bought in decades, and only the few real medicines have been collected by others, trying to save their lives at critical moments.
The camera turned back and walked on Qianmen Street.
Today, Chen Xia is going to purchase a large number of these treasures from Tongrentang. Not to mention whether to invest or not, just keep it for yourself and eat it slowly.
Perhaps in the future, relatives and friends who need it can give it a little, which is definitely gratifying.
Well... Is there a girl willing to exchange medicines...?
When I left Tongrentang Pharmacy, what I heard was the unique fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine. The store was clean and the medicines were neatly arranged, and the salesmen were also smiling.
Look at their background, and then think about the attitudes of the old ladies in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
"Hello comrade, do you need any help?"
Chen Xia smiled and nodded: "Hello, I want to buy some Angong Niuhuang Pills, Wuji Baifeng Pills, Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, and Tiger Bone Wine."
The salesperson was very polite and made a call: "Comrade, the medicines are all here, how much do you want to buy?"
"How many of you have?"
“We have…”
The salesperson almost didn't get up in one breath and was choked, and his face became unhappy immediately. Is this a joke?
When Chen Xia saw the faces of several salesmen around him, he quickly explained: "These medicines are urgently needed by our pharmaceutical company. Look, this is my proof."
The salesperson took the letter of introduction and Chen Xia’s work permit and looked at it, “Wow, I didn’t expect you to be a section chief so young.”
Gu Lin was anxious: "Chen Laoer, you are crazy. Why are you going to buy so many medicines? You can't finish eating as a meal."
Chen Xia knocked her on the head: "Stupid, I'm saving a wife book for our grandson, you'll know from now on."
In the end, Chen Xia bought 2,000 pills of Angong Niuhuang Pills and 1,500 bottles of tiger bone wine in Tongren Chang Lao Store. These are out-of-print medicines. After this era, they will never be available again.
I also bought a lot of Wuji Baifeng Pills, Refashion Pills, Niuhuang Shangqing Pills, etc.
On this day, Chen Xia spent a total of 100,000 yuan in Tongrentang.
At this point, Chen Xia only had 20,000 to 30,000 pocket money left in his pocket, and all other deposits were turned into ginseng, antiques, Clivia, and Tongrentang medicines.
