Chapter 720: Questioning

"My family has been a Chinese medicine practitioner for generations. Who do you think you are, brazenly saying that I don't know medicine?"

The clerks from the surrounding drug stores and the medicinal dealers who came to purchase medicinal materials immediately gathered around when they saw the excitement here.

"Tsk, tsk, where did this guy come from as a newcomer, and he actually questioned the Chen family's ability in Chinese medicine?"

"I don't know him. He looks strange."

"The Chen family is one of the best traditional Chinese medicine families in Shanghai. The "Compendium of Medicinal Herbs" compiled by the Chen family's ancestors has won awards in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Many of us who are engaged in traditional Chinese medicine have benefited a lot from it."

"Yes, when I started studying medicine, I started to understand medicine from the Chen family's "Compendium of Medicinal Herbs"!"

"This guy, has he never read "Compendium of Medicinal Herbs"?"

…

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Chen Qingyun showed a proud smile on his face, looked at Xia Liang and said: "Have you read "Compendium of Medicinal Herbs"?"

Xia Liang shook his head and said, "No."

The smile on Chen Qingyun's face became even wider.

"I suggest you go back and take a good look at the "Compendium of Medicinal Herbs" and get to know all the medicinal herbs in it, and then come here to talk to me."

Xia Liang's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Hasn't I become a quack after reading a book that can even pronounce the names of medicinal herbs incorrectly?"

"How can such a person be qualified to write a book? Isn't this a waste of time?"

Chen Qingyun's face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "Okay, tell me, what is the difference between Xiaoye Maima Teng and the Tiannanxing you mentioned that I have never heard of!"

"How are these two herbs different and what are their medicinal effects?"

"If you can't tell me, this matter will never end today!"

Xia Liang didn't care about Chen Qingyun's anger.

He smiled faintly, picked up an aroid on the ground and said, "This thing is called aroid. This name may be unfamiliar to you, but it has other names, and you must have heard of it."

Chen Qingyun said unconvinced: "Oh, tell me, what are they?"

The people around him were also interested at this moment and started to cheer.

Xia Liang smiled faintly and said: "The aliases of Aracenia are Tiger Palm, Pinellia Essence, Nanxing, Tiger Palm Nanxing, Sanbangzi, Wild Taro, and Spotted Stick!"

"The medicinal part of Araceae is a tuber, oblate spherical, 1 to 2cm high and 1.5 to 6.5cm in diameter."

"The surface is off-white or light brown, relatively smooth, with sunken stem marks at the top and pitted root marks around it."

"Some tubers have small oblate spherical lateral buds around them. They are hard and not easily broken. The cross-section is uneven, white, and powdery. The gas is slightly pungent and the taste is spicy."

Xia Liang said, pointing to the Arisaema in his hand and explaining it to everyone.

After he finished speaking, his expression suddenly became serious and he said, "If I guess correctly, you are using the leaves of Aracenia as medicine."

"Not only do the leaves of Aracenia not have any medicinal effect, they can actually cause diarrhea in patients."

"It does no good at all. You think this is not a quack?"

Every word Xia Liang said was so resounding that everyone present shuddered!

Most of the people present were old Chinese medicine practitioners or worked in the field of Chinese medicine.

If what Xia Liang said was true, then they had been using the wrong medicine all these years.

This is an unforgivable thing for a medical practitioner!

Among the people present, there was an old man who listened carefully to Xia Liang's words, then frowned and started thinking.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and his expression changed slightly: "Young man, are you telling the truth?"

When the others saw the old man who spoke, they couldn't help but look solemn.

Because this person is also an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he is quite famous in Shanghai.

"Of course it's true. I'm also a Chinese medicine practitioner. How can I talk nonsense about medicinal herbs?"

Xia Liang said in a deep voice.

"Hey, young man, what you said does make sense."

"No wonder every time I give medicine to patients, when I add this small leaf to buy Ma Teng, uh, araceae, the patient will report that he has diarrhea."

"I never took it seriously and thought it was due to the patient's physical condition."

"I didn't expect the reason to be here. I, Mei Guangyuan, have learned a lesson!"

"Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading!"

Mei Guangyuan, an old Chinese medicine doctor, cupped his hands and bowed slightly to Xia Liang.

It can be said that he is grateful to Xia Liang for his teaching.

After hearing Xia Liang's words, the people around him all came back to their senses and started talking in low voices.

"Let me go, this thing turns out to be called Pinellia ternata. I have heard of Pinellia ternata, but I have never seen it."

"This is tiger paw. I only found out today that one of the medicines passed down in my family is tiger paw, but I never knew what tiger paw was!"

"This young man is amazing, he actually knows so much."

"It's amazing, young man, you are not simple. Where did you learn from him?"

…

In response to the compliments from people around him, Xia Liang clasped his hands and turned around to return the compliments with a sincere attitude.

But Chen Qingyun's face was very ugly.

It would be fine if she was slapped in the face by someone, but the key point is that this person actually questioned the herbal notes in the "Compendium of Medicinal Herbs" passed down by her ancestors in public. This would be a heavy blow to the reputation of the Chen family.

However, Chen Qingyun actually believed half of what Xia Liang said.

But she still didn't want to accept the fact because Xia Liang was too young.

If his ancestors could get the medicine wrong, how could a young man like him know it?

In Chen Qingjun's opinion, Xia Liang was probably just guessing.

He just happened to see this Tiannanxing somewhere, or heard others talk about this medicine.

But he must not know the specific efficacy of this medicine.

"Okay, since you said this thing is Tiannanxing, then tell me, what is the main efficacy of Tiannanxing?"

Chen Qingjun asked with a gloomy face.

"Yes, yes, what is the efficacy of Tiannanxing, and what prescription can it be used in?"

"Yes, young man, since you can recognize this medicine, then you must know its efficacy and function, right?"

"Tell us about it, and let us learn more!"

"You can't really guess it?"

...

Listening to the voices of the people around him, Xia Liang's expression did not change.

When he mentioned this medicine, he planned to introduce the efficacy of this medicine.

After all, being able to let all Chinese medicine practitioners know this medicine and how to use it is also a benefit to the people.

In a Chinese medicine prescription, if one medicine is prescribed incorrectly, the overall prescription will be greatly affected.

It may kill people, which is normal.

"Okay, then I'll tell you."

Xia Liang said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, those who were a little thoughtful around them had already taken out their mobile phones, turned on the recording function, and started recording.
