Chapter 308: Cold-Relief Ear Soup
Zhang Zhongjing nodded. It turned out that he finished writing it in the 15th year of Jian'an. That was still a long time ago.
"After you finished writing the medical book, Senior Zhang Zhongjing, you continued to concentrate on studying medicine until you passed away.
It was not until Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, unified the world that your body, Mr. Zhang Zhongjing, was transported back to your hometown for burial by your descendants.
He also built the Temple of the Medical Saint and the Tomb of Zhongjing in Nanyang.
He died at the age of 69, which is quite a long life. "Compared with other people, Zhang Zhongjing lived a long life.
But compared with these miracle doctors, it is still relatively short. Of course, Hua Tuo is not included.
Hua Tuo did not die of natural causes, but because he offended Cao Cao, so it doesn't count.
If it was a natural death, I think he must have lived a long life.
"Senior Zhang Zhongjing, I also have a health-preserving prescription," Sun Simiao said. The other people all looked at Sun Simiao, and the look in their eyes said it all.
The people in front of the sky curtain wanted to snatch it away directly.
This white-haired old man actually has a health-preserving recipe. The immortal said that he lived for more than a hundred years. If they also had his health-preserving recipe, could they also live longer?
There were many people posting in the barrage, saying that they were willing to pay for the health-preserving recipes and they were willing to pay any amount.
Especially the princes, nobles, wealthy people and emperors, who didn't covet Sun Simiao's health-preserving prescriptions?
Seeing the other party's condition, still energetic at the age of sixty, they knew that this old man, ahem, no, this miracle doctor was extraordinary.
He is not only good at treating others, but also good at taking care of himself.
Now they heard that he actually had a health-preserving recipe and wanted to share it with Zhang Zhongjing, they were envious, really envious.
They wanted it, but they didn't know what conditions were required before Sun Simiao would share it with them.
It is impossible that Sun Simiao would give them the health-preserving recipe for free.
They don't believe this.
"Hey, Junior Sun Simiao, do you want to share your health-preserving recipe with me?" Zhang Zhongjing was also dumbfounded. He never thought that this junior liked him so much and wanted to share a health-preserving recipe with him.
Zhang Zhongjing said that if he didn't want it, it would definitely be fake. He also wanted to live a hundred years.
Who doesn’t want to live a few more years?
If Sun Simiao shared with him, he would naturally not refuse. He would also trade his own things with the other party. He couldn't just take Sun Simiao's things for free.
Sun Simiao's face turned red. Senior Zhang Zhongjing was his idol. What was wrong with giving his idol some health-preserving prescriptions?
He is happy to give. He is willing to give, all willingly.
"Senior Zhang Zhongjing, of course I am willing to give it to you. I hope you can live a few more years and make more contributions to medicine," Sun Simiao really thought so. He felt that Zhang Zhongjing was a very, very good doctor.
Naturally, I hope he lives longer.
"Young Master Sun Simiao, thank you very much. I will not take your things for nothing. After I go back, I will write a medical book and share it with you," said Zhang Zhongjing. Although he hadn't written it yet, he already had an idea in his mind.
Sun Simiao looked like he had won the lottery, his face was almost broken with smiles.
"Senior Sun Simiao, you can't favor one over the other. We also need health-preserving prescriptions," Li Wu said to Sun Simiao with eager eyes.
"Okay, it's just a health-preserving recipe. I have a lot of them that I can share with you," Sun Simiao said happily with a wave of his hand.
It is true that he has many health-preserving prescriptions. Of course, it does not mean that everyone can live a long life by taking these health-preserving prescriptions.
That has to be controlled. The barrage of comments is about to explode, all thanking Sun Simiao for his selflessness.
Li Wu and his companions were also very happy. Hua Tuo and his companions also said that they would not take Sun Simiao's health-preserving prescription for nothing and would exchange it for something.
"Hehe, of course I won't take Senior Sun Simiao's prescription for free," Li Wu naturally showed her sincerity. Although she wanted to take it for free, several other great doctors had expressed that they would trade things for it, so she would feel embarrassed to take it for free.
After all, with so many people watching, Li Wu still had to save her dignity.
After hearing this, the people in front of the sky curtain blushed. They actually wanted to get it for free, but now, it seems that it is not possible.
If everyone else gave something but they themselves didn't, that would be so embarrassing, so they should secretly find out what their friends would give.
However, they were not from the same dynasty, so how could they give things to Senior Sun Simiao?
Everyone on the barrage was asking this question.
After seeing this, Li Wu quickly said, "I will grant you the permission when the time comes. You only need to click on Senior Sun Simiao's name to be transferred."
Everyone else said they understood, it was so simple, Hua Tuo and a few others also said they knew.
"That's all about your deeds, Senior Zhang Zhongjing. Next is your short story, Senior Zhang Zhongjing.
This brings us to dumplings," Li Wu said, pointing at the dumplings.
It just so happened that Li Shizhen picked up one, with a dazed look on his face.
"When you, Senior Zhang Zhongjing, were still serving as an official in Changsha, you were about to retire and return home. It was winter, and it was extremely cold with heavy snow.
On the Baihe River, you, Master Zhang Zhongjing, saw many homeless poor people. They were so hungry that their faces were pale and their bodies were thin. They were half-naked and huddled together. Because it was cold, their ears were frozen. This made you, Master Zhang Zhongjing, very uncomfortable.
After returning home, many people came to seek medical treatment. Although you, Mr. Zhang Zhongjing, were busy treating patients all day, you still could not forget those people whose ears were frozen.
Therefore, you developed a dietary recipe that can keep out the cold, called "Quhan Jiao'er Soup".
Senior Zhang Zhongjing, you asked your disciples to set up a tent and a big pot at the East Gate of Nanyang to treat the poor. The opening day happened to be the Winter Solstice.
The recipe of this cold-relieving Jiao'er soup is very simple. Just put some mutton and some cold-relieving herbs in a pot and cook them. When they are cooked, take them out and cut them into small pieces. Then wrap them with dough to make the shape of ears. Put them back into the pot and cook them with the original soup and the wrapped Jiao'er to make the cold-relieving Jiao'er soup.
Because the dough looks like ears after being wrapped, and its function is to prevent ear rot, so you, Mr. Zhang Zhongjing, named it Jiao'er.
Then they gave each poor person two jiao'er. After eating the jiao'er, people felt warm, and their ears became warm too. No one suffered from frostbite on their ears anymore.
Because the year you passed away, Mr. Zhang Zhongjing, was winter and the winter solstice, in order to commemorate you, everyone makes dumplings and eats them on the winter solstice.
Although many people no longer drink the cold-dispelling jiao'er soup, the custom of eating dumplings has been retained.
Dumplings have become a symbol of family happiness, and this is all thanks to you, Senior Zhang Zhongjing. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious dumplings," Li Wu said with a smile. Dumplings are still delicious. She can eat ten in one go, no more.
Zhang Zhongjing wiped his eyes and was moved. “Actually, I didn’t do anything. I just wanted to help those people. But I haven’t done anything yet, and I’ve already eaten Jiao’er. This Jiao’er really looks like an ear.” Zhang Zhongjing’s crying and laughing appearance was quite moving.
