Baohe Pill Revisited
The "Mnemonic Verses for Herbal Formulas" contains a rhyming verse for the formula of Mume Pill:
The formula for Mume Pill) uses Asarum, Cinnamon, Ginseng, Aconite, Pepper, and Ginger.

7 pay
After prescribing the medicine, Su Ziyang signaled to Fang Linjing that it was ready.
After thanking her repeatedly, Fang Linjing went downstairs to get the medicine and pay.
Su Ziyang was confident that he could cure this disease within seven doses of medicine. Even if he didn't recover completely, he would at least be about 80-90% better.
Just after seeing Fang Linjing off, Su Ziyang noticed a small head appearing at the doorway, blinking as it peered into the house.
Su Ziyang thought the person looked familiar, but after thinking for a while, he really couldn't remember who it was.
"Big brother, don't you recognize me?!"
As soon as the little girl spoke, Su Ziyang instantly remembered.
"Jin Tiantian!"
"Hey, big brother, you haven't forgotten me! Hehehe!"
Jin Tiantian skipped and hopped in.
What's wrong with you?
Su Ziyang stared in shock at Jin Tiantian, who seemed like a completely different person. Before, Jin Tiantian was a chubby girl, but now, while she couldn't be described as very slim, she was exceptionally slim.
Jin Tiantian may have been chubby, but she was quite pretty. Now that she's lost weight, she's completely transformed, almost like a fairy.
"Big brother, you forgot? The Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill you gave me last time! After taking them, I started losing weight day by day. As soon as I saw I was getting thinner, I quickly got a gym membership and started working out! Big brother, you're a miracle worker! Do you still have any of those Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill? I want to lose even more weight!"
Jin Tiantian looked at Su Ziyang with a smile, then rummaged through her small bag, and took out a small box.
"Big pot, this is a gift for you. It's to express my gratitude!"
After receiving Jin Tiantian's gift, Su Ziyang was still a bit dazed. He had simply bought Baohe Pill on a whim and said a few words to Jin Tiantian, never expecting such a surprisingly good effect...
"Hey, what are you standing there for? Look at the gift I gave you! Open it, open it!"
Jin Tiantian rubbed her hands together, looking at Su Ziyang with great anticipation.
Under Jin Tiantian's expectant gaze, Su Ziyang opened the small box.
Inside the small box lay an incredibly cute little tiger, made of felted wool.
Su Ziyang took it out and held it in his hand, finding that the little tiger was really too beautiful.
Jin Tiantian smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents, as she watched Su Ziyang's obvious delight at the item.
"Big pot, I made this myself! You like it, right? Hehe."
"I love it, I love it!"
This was the first time Su Ziyang had received such an exquisite handmade item. He held it in his hands for a while, admiring it, before placing the little tiger in a prominent position on the examination table.
"Thank you, I'll accept it!"
Su Ziyang thanked Jin Tiantian.
"You're welcome, bro! I should be thanking you. Thanks to you, I can finally wear my favorite Hanfu! I'm so happy!"
It's clear that Jin Tiantian is genuinely very happy.
"How is your uncle's health?" Su Ziyang thought of Jin Tiantian's uncle, the one who had nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
"He's fine, thanks to you. He's just too busy, otherwise he would have come with me today. My uncle told me to thank you."
Jin Tiantian happily sat on the massage bed and started swinging her short legs.
"Where's that fairy sister? The one who picked you up from the train station last time!" Jin Tiantian suddenly asked about Fairy Li.
"Ah, she went out. Seems like she has something to do!"
Jin Tiantian's chatter was always eccentric, leaving Su Ziyang completely baffled.
Hey buddy, wanna go out for lunch together? It's on me!
Jin Tiantian invited Su Ziyang Su Ziyang, who was a little embarrassed.
"Ah, haha. Okay. You'll have to wait until I get off work!"
"Okay! I'm going out for a walk now. Let me know when you get off work!"
After saying that, Jin Tiantian picked up her small bag and ran out.
Watching Jin Tiantian's retreating figure, Su Ziyang quickly pulled out his notebook and wrote down a large line, "Can Baohe Pill help with weight loss?"
It was followed by a big question mark.
Just as Su Ziyang finished writing a line, his phone rang. It was his aunt.
"Hey, Auntie."
Su Ziyang answered the phone.
"Hey, Yangyang." Su Ziyang's aunt's voice came through the phone.
Yangyang, I have a question for you.
"Oh, Auntie. What is it?"
Su Ziyang had no idea why his aunt had suddenly contacted him.
"Your little brother has been hiccuping a lot lately, saying his stomach feels uncomfortable, and he doesn't want to eat. He often complains of stomach discomfort. I gave him that Ginseng Spleen-Fortifying Pill, but why isn't it working? Why is that?" Su Ziyang almost laughed at his aunt's puzzled voice.
"Auntie, why did you give him Ginseng Spleen-Fortifying Pill?"
Su Ziyang scratched his head, unsure of what to say.
"Kids often have digestive issues, so shouldn't we give him spleen-strengthening Spleen-Fortifying Pill? I bought him some at the pharmacy, but it didn't work; he still complains of feeling unwell. What should he take? Your little brother has been saying his stomach is upset lately!"
"That's right, Auntie. Please don't let him take Spleen-Fortifying Pill anymore, give him Baohe Pill instead. He won't feel uncomfortable then!"
Su Ziyang thought to himself, what a coincidence! He had just started researching Baohe Pill, and now he was already using them!
"What is Baohe Pill? Which characters are on it? I'll write it down!" My aunt's voice came through the phone, fumbling for something. "Tell me, I'll write it down. I've got a pen and paper."
"Baohe Pill, the 'Bao' in 'protection,' and the 'He' in 'you and me,'" Su Ziyang said.
"What kind of medicine is this? Is it for strengthening the spleen? Or what is it for?"
Su Ziyang's aunt has a very inquisitive nature.
"This is for treating indigestion and food stagnation!"
Su Ziyang began to slowly explain to his aunt.
"No, Yangyang. I gave him those Stomach-Fortifying and Digestion-Promoting Tablets before, but they didn't work. It's not indigestion!"
"Hehe, Auntie. This medicine works better than Stomach-Fortifying and Digestion-Promoting Tablets, so you can let my little brother take it! No problem!" Su Ziyang smiled, giving his aunt a reassuring answer.
"Okay, I'll go buy it right away. I'll talk to you later."
After Su Ziyang's aunt hung up the phone, Su Ziyang continued to look at the words "Baohe Pill can help with weight loss" on his notebook.
After looking at each other's faces for a while, Su Ziyang suddenly missed Mr. Mengfei. If Mr. Mengfei were here right now, would he be able to explain his problem in no time?
This is the difference between self-study and having a mentor. It might take you a long time to figure out a problem on your own.
However, if you have a master, they can explain things to you in just a few words, saving you from many detours.
When Su Ziyang left the clinic at lunchtime, he found Jin Tiantian playing "Eagle Catches Chicks" with a group of children in the square.
Jin Tiantian's personality certainly allows her to quickly become a leader among children.
"Jin Tiantian!" Su Ziyang called out to Jin Tiantian from the side.
When Jin Tiantian saw Su Ziyang get off work, she immediately stopped running and said to the children, "Sister can't play with you anymore, you play by yourselves. Here's a bag of jelly for you. Play by yourselves!"
Jin Tiantian's little bag is like a treasure trove, and the most amazing thing is that it's always filled with snacks.
"Sister, is that brother your boyfriend?" one of the older boys in the group called out to Jin Tiantian.
"No, no. Don't talk nonsense!" Jin Tiantian quickly waved her hands at the little boy.
"Oh... Sister's blushing! So embarrassing! Hahaha."
After the children started jeering, they scattered and ran away, leaving Jin Tiantian stomping her feet in embarrassment.
"He seems to be having a lot of fun playing with the kids!"
Su Ziyang was quite far away and didn't hear what the children were commotion about. When he walked over, he noticed that Jin Tiantian's face was bright red.
"Little brat!" Jin Tiantian raised her little fist at the little boy who was looking at her from a distance.
"Haha!" Su Ziyang smiled as he watched Jin Tiantian and the little boy playing around.
The two found a nice-looking little restaurant, Jin Tiantian ordered three meat pies, two side dishes, and egg drop soup.
"Big pot, is that enough for you? Two pies!"
Jin Tiantian was worried that Su Ziyang wouldn't have enough to eat, so she went to ask for another pie.
"That's enough! This pie is so big, one is enough to fill me up!"
Su Ziyang said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good!"
Jin Tiantian had a hard time eating. Su Ziyang finished two pies, but Jin Tiantian hadn't even finished one. Seeing that Su Ziyang was full, Jin Tiantian obviously sped up her eating. Because her mouth was too small, oil got all over her face.
After finishing her meal, Jin Tiantian said she had to go back to work; she still had accounts to settle in the afternoon, so she took a taxi and left.
Su Ziyang then strolled back to the Dada Daoist Medicine Clinic.
The entire afternoon was spent searching for information about Baohe Pill, Su Ziyang of the patient.
In the late afternoon, Su Ziyang's aunt called again, "Yangyang, that medicine you mentioned really works. I bought a box this morning and gave it to your little brother. He only took it once, and by the afternoon he said his stomach didn't feel uncomfortable anymore. This medicine really works! I bought a few more boxes to keep on hand. Can you tell me why the Spleen-Fortifying Pill for strengthening the spleen) didn't work, but this one did!"
"Haha, let me give you an analogy, Auntie. Let's compare a person to a car. If the car's engine is like the person's spleen and stomach, then the Spleen-Fortifying Pill are like giving the engine power, making it stronger. But food stagnation is like someone locking the wheels of the car. You need to remove the lock, not try to give the engine more power! That will only damage the car, just like making the person feel worse!"
Su Ziyang gave his aunt a vivid and apt analogy.
"Ah! I understand now. Okay. Thank you for your help, Yangyang. I have something to do, I'll hang up now!"
