Are you afraid that the cold medicine you buy is flour mixed with coloring matter? Are you having sleepless nights due to hospitalization expenses? In Chunhetang in the Qingxi morning market, Su Jingxing kept a yellowed note with a worn cover, leaving "free ways to survive" for ordinary people - white porridge with ginger and scallions to cure colds and high fevers, dandelions picked by the river to treat sore throats, and even pricking blood as a last resort.
This notebook contains not only home-cooked preparations, but also grandfather's old notes on the fight against the plague in 1943. The blurred handwriting says, "After pricking blood from Dazhui, you must use porridge to replenish fluids." Outside the hospital, fake herbal medicine dealers want to disrupt the situation. Young apprentice Lin Yanqiu initially thought that "the preparation was too slow" until he saw that the child had recovered from food fever by rubbing his belly. Even modern doctor Zhao Wei gradually became convinced that "adjust the medicine according to the body, and you will suffer less than antibiotics."
There are no obscure medical theories, only practical life-saving tips: grow mugwort leaves on the balcony to warm old cold legs, use glass bottles as cupping pots, and give birth to red dates and millet porridge to replenish qi and blood. Opening the book is like the morning mist breaking into a clear stream, and seeing how ordinary people can avoid the pits of fake medicine and survive illness with a bowl of porridge and a handful of grass.
