Chapter 187 From Snake Flower to National Specially Invited Researcher (both are subscribed for additional updates)
The reason why Fang Yan knew so clearly about Ji Desheng was that Mr. Zhu's notes recorded most of his friend Ji Desheng's life in great detail.
Like the sloppy doctor Chen Zhao, Ji Desheng comes from a humble background, possesses unique skills, and was discovered and invited by Mr. Zhu to become a doctor.
Ji Desheng's family, counting six generations up, have all dealt with snakes.
In the old society, their profession was looked down upon by others.
In the old days, the profession of "Snake Huazi" was to travel around the world, catch venomous snakes, treat snake bites, and then sell snake medicine.
Ji Desheng has been dealing with snakes since he was born and learned how to catch snakes when he was five years old.
It is difficult for the poor to make a living, and if you don't do this, you will have no way to survive.
Although he is called a snake flower and the work is dangerous, this is the only way he can survive.
However, he is still a little different from his father. He likes to study, and he has mastered the methods of preparing snake medicine and playing with snakes when he was twenty years old.
In 1923, he performed in front of the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, selling snake medicine prepared by himself, and his performance was quite vigorous.
He first caught a five-step snake and bit his arm. Then when the wound turned purple, red and swollen, he took out the snake medicine, crushed it, applied two pills on the wound, and then drank two pills with rice wine.
The area where the snake bites will be visibly swollen, leaving the audience stunned for a moment.
Just relying on this skill, the snake medicine he brought will be sold out in a short time.
Using such hard-core performance techniques, he traveled around Jiangsu and performed until 1940.
At that time, a young Japanese drug dealer came to him and asked to buy his prescription. He also asked him to go abroad to set up a pharmaceutical company in partnership and share the profits equally.
But Ji Desheng, who was short of money, unexpectedly became tough this time and only said:
"Don't try to make money by putting your trademark on China's medical skills and medicines."
Mustache became angry and threatened Ji Desheng not to toast and eat as a fine.
Ji Desheng is not afraid at all. So what if he says he has no family and no job and is fined with alcohol? After saying that, he took his medicine box and snake basket and walked away.
As expected, he was retaliated by Mustache.
He was almost killed.
In the end, a friend named Long Haijiao saved him.
After that, in order to avoid retaliation, he stopped staying in one place and began to travel to nine provinces in the north and south, selling medicine and studying venomous snakes in various places.
In 1944, he finally allowed him to research and perfect the broad-spectrum, highly efficient, and quick-acting Ji Desheng snake medicine.
In 1946, the 48-year-old Ji Desheng finally returned to southern Jiangsu with the snake medicine and married a maid named Shen whom he met in Suzhou. The couple settled in the Tutu Temple in Tianshengang, Nantong, and set up a stall to sell medicine in Nantong.
When setting up a stall, he still used the same trick of biting himself with snakes. After hearing his story, Mr. Zhu went to see him in person and saw his medical operation. The two had a good chat, and then Mr. Zhu invited Ji Desheng joined his own hospital.
Ji Desheng felt that Mr. Zhu could put down his posture and bow his head to invite him like a snake. He was deeply moved after many years of wandering and agreed to Mr. Zhu's invitation.
In 1957, Ji Desheng, who had been a doctor for many years, made a decision to hand over his secret recipe to the country to save more people.
With the help of Mr. Zhu, he recorded all his own prescriptions, and then standardized the prescriptions again with reference to books such as "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Fora of China".
Finally, the results were handed over to the state.
This recipe was included in the top secret formula No. 431 that year.
In the autumn of 1958, Yanjing held the National Advanced Congress of Medical and Health Work.
At the conference, Comrade Wu Hao personally praised his fellow Jiangsu man for his snake medicine.
Later, the Ministry of Health awarded him a certificate of "Pioneer in the Revolution of Health and Medical Technology", and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences hired him as a special researcher. Ji Desheng's snake medicine was classified as a national first-class secret and began to be manufactured and sold in large quantities across the country.
Later, it was sold to more than a dozen countries abroad to help the country earn foreign exchange.
The growth from a "snake flower" to this point can be said to be quite legendary.
……
Fang Yan briefly told Ji Desheng's story, and Le Miao finally understood.
It turns out that this medicine has such a powerful background.
There are very few people bitten by snakes here in Tongrentang, so they only know about "Nantong Snake Medicine" and don't know the story behind it.
After a while, Old Chen, his grandfather and his grandson finally finished washing.
Old Chentou came back with his squealing grandson. But it doesn't look like he just washed his hands.
It was like being drenched all over.
Fang Yan saw that Old Chen's head was wet all over, and he knew that his grandson must be making trouble again.
Even Jia Dapeng's pants at the back were wet.
It looks like you peed your crotch.
Seeing the little brat making a fuss, Fang Yan gave up his plan and said to Old Chen:
"Crush this tablet, add cold boiled water to mix it into a paste, and then apply it on the red and swollen areas, apply it every six hours. During this time, you should not touch the oil on the skin."
"As long as you take the medicine normally, the swelling should subside at night, and the blisters will come later."
Old Chentou took the medicine, nodded and thanked Fangyan:
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Fang."
Dialect waves:
"You're welcome, keep an eye on the child from now on and don't let him do stupid things."
"Oh, I can't help it. This kid won't listen. I don't know what's wrong with him... Ouch!" As soon as he finished speaking, the blisters on Lao Chen's head and chin were pricked open by the claws of his grandson in his arms.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He screamed out in pain.
At this time, the old man was also angry. He slapped his grandson on the buttocks with a few slaps. The force was really weak and the slap made a "pop" sound.
"..." The little thing that was howling just now suddenly became more honest, and then started crying again.
Swearing words began to come out of his mouth.
When Lao Chentou heard this, the veins on his forehead jumped.
He was immediately thrown to the ground by his squirming grandson, and then his face turned red and he cursed:
"When I want to serve you? If you hadn't played with that worm, what would have happened like this?"
"Let your parents come and take you back this afternoon! Whoever is willing to take you will take it!"
After saying that, I picked up the medicine and went to check out the price.
The little grandson was left crying and rolling on the ground.
He was waving his hands and feet desperately on the ground, crying so heart-wrenchingly that the patients who came in behind him were almost frightened out.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly a man walked up and shouted, directly calming the child on the ground.
The crying stopped suddenly.
When everyone took a look, they found that it was actually the policeman protecting Fangyan, Xiao Zhang who had been reading a book just now.
He took out the handcuffs and said to the little thing on the ground that was howling just now:
"If you make trouble again, I'll take you away and take you to the police station and lock you up!"
The child on the ground trembled, and when he saw Xiao Zhang in police uniform, he was actually frightened.
"Get up and go find your grandpa!" Xiao Zhang ordered in a serious tone.
Then the child actually got up honestly.
He quickly ran to his grandfather's feet, not daring to make any more noise.
Dialect expressed emotion after seeing this scene:
Sure enough, it is to add some brine to the tofu, and one thing will be reduced.
The super boy who was thought to be invincible was actually able to be restrained.
When Qin Nong comes back after catching someone in a few days, he will have to boast in front of him no matter what.
