Walk into any tongrentang drugstore, you can see a pair of couplets: concocts although numerous did not dare to omit artificial, taste, though you will not cut material. For this sentence, in 36 years national level technicians in tong ren tang remains Chi most feelings.

Processing including fry, hot, hot, calcined, stewed, steamed, boiled, quenching, bleaching, leaching, different methods, such as, play attenuated synergistic effect. In Chi said, processing is a delicate work, is not a simple repetition labor wash cutting it to dry.

The elephant skin go saprophytic muscle, is a kind of very good Chinese traditional medicine. Several centimeters thick dry skin, cut up is really not a braggart, bubble does not open, cut, from medicinal materials like leather into slices like leather, baffled many may use.

First contact like skin, really make in remains Chi puzzled. He looked a lot of ancient documents, even the 1959 company may make the processing technology of old books and find out. Elephant skin to remove impurities, scrub clean, how to also can not soak through. He tried different water temperature, made again embellish, embellish the air again, again bubble, hanging constantly repeat, MoGongFu slowly. Water temperature is best in 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, bubble to use hand to twist dry air again, after air bubble again embellish again twist again, and repeat 3 to 4 days to complete, with the sincerity finally admit defeat hard like leather.

"Less than the effect is hard to find, too, smell the lost". In Chi said, processing cost, not just time, difficult in temperature.
