Hearing Xu Yun's words, Fatty Meng couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Immediately he thought of something, pointed to the basket on the side and said
"Brother, are you talking about the gourd? Is that thing over there?"
Xu Yun turned around and looked in the direction he was pointing, and found heads of garlic placed in the basket at the corner of the kitchen.
These garlics are consistent with similar varieties from later generations, but are generally very large in size. They are obviously carefully selected high-quality garlics.
He quickly walked to the basket, picked up a head of six cloves of garlic, looked at it, nodded repeatedly and said
"Yes, that's it!"
When Fatty Meng heard this, he couldn't help but smile proudly.
"This little brother, garlic is called garlic in Dengzhou, but we in Kyoto call it gourd or garlic.
If my husband’s family hadn’t been from Dengzhou, I might not have been able to understand what you said!”
Xu Yun smiled politely at Fatty Meng.
"Thank you, Brother Meng, for your advice."
As a non-botanical practitioner, he only knew that garlic was introduced to China during the Han Dynasty. As for garlic's other names, he really didn't know much about it.
Actually...
In ancient China, there were many names for garlic.
Larger garlic is generally called gourd, and smaller garlic is called mountain garlic. The collective names were not officially unified until the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
Then Xu Yun turned his head and said to Mr. Xie
"I would like to ask you to prepare a stone mortar. First, cough with hot water and scald it with hot soup.
Also prepare a bag of salt for me, the more refined the better, and by the way, I also need a gut-shaped bottle of salt."
Mr. Xie nodded.
"no problem."
A little less than half an hour later.
The old governor came over with a few belongings and handed them to Xu Yun
"The mortar, salt, and polyester bottles are all here."
Xu Yun thanked him and then chose a relatively clean room.
He asked Mr. Xie to wait outside the door, while he entered the house with the few things he had prepared.
After entering the house.
Xu Yun put the stone mortar, chopped garlic, salt, the small bottle he brought with him, the bold-shaped poli bottle, and something similar to a casserole that he got from Fatty Meng on the table.
Among them, the bold-shaped Poli bottle refers to glass.
That's right.
In today's era, glass craftsmanship has appeared.
One of the more famous pieces of evidence is the line from the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli's work "Children Make Ice", "A jade chime sounded when it was struck through the forest, and suddenly there was a sound of shattering glass."
in addition.
Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty also ordered tin workers to coat glass bottles with mercury, then use them to drink wine and lick them every day before going to bed.
Yes,&bsp&bspYou read that right - mercury-coated drinking,&bsp&bspThere is a reason why the old Zhao family has a high rate of premature death.
all in all.
The current glass technology is still far behind that of future generations, but it is very close in terms of practicality or functionality.
After preparing all this.
Xu Yun first put the peeled garlic into a stone mortar and began to mash it vigorously.
Dong dong dong——
Five or six minutes passed.
A big mouthful of crushed garlic came out of the oven.
Xu Yun poured them into the glass bottle one by one and closed the lid.
Then fill the casserole with salt, put the glass bottle into the salt, and lift the casserole in a manner similar to hanging.
Then light the fire, adjust the quantity and height of the firewood, control the temperature around 10 degrees, and then start heating.
Another half hour passed.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Xu Yun made a 'pop' sound and pulled out the cap of the small bottle.
In an instant.
An extremely strong smell of alcohol filled the room.
That's right.
Alcohol.
Seeing this, the smart classmates must have understood Xu Yun's thinking.
Yes.
What Xu Yun was preparing was allicin.
Although garlic seems to be available everywhere, it sounds like it is of low quality, far inferior to penicillium or willow branches.
Actually.
This is a time-traveling black technology that can be called an artifact!
without any exaggeration.
Cement, papermaking, taro, all are younger brothers to allicin.
If you have to compare them, black powder and potatoes can barely be considered as divine items of the same level.
Because it is a type of antibiotic and is particularly easy to make.
Speaking of antibiotics, penicillin, erythromycin, and tetracycline may come to mind.
But in fact, allicin is also a particularly powerful antibiotic.
Its antibacterial ability is no worse than penicillin, and it is also effective against a wider range of antibacterial types - penicillin is only effective against bacteria but not fungi, and allicin is one of the rare antibiotics that can deal with both bacteria and fungi.
The main reason why allicin is difficult to popularize in later generations is that it is difficult to preserve and can only exist for one to two hours at room temperature. In addition, common antibiotic resistance is also a big problem.
But after traveling through time, its advantages are fully revealed.
Compared with the preparation of penicillin, the preparation of allicin is really simple.
It can be said that as long as the time you travel to is after the Han Dynasty, you can produce allicin with your hands.
Because to prepare allicin, you only need garlic and a high concentration of alcohol.
First, mash the garlic and let it sit for an hour.
Then use high-concentration alcohol to soak and extract, and then
Take your hands off the console and it's all done!
That's right.
It's that simple, you can prepare a low-concentration alcohol solution of allicin in a fool-proof way.
What?
You ask how you made high-concentration alcohol in ancient times?
Those who have a basic knowledge of chemistry can use distillation to prepare it, and students who have failed in chemistry can directly use lime to remove the water in spirits.
If you can't find any lime, you can find a corner and kill him.
In addition, if you want allicin with a higher concentration, you can use a simple salt bath to promote enzymatic hydrolysis like Xu Yun. For more advanced methods, you can add condensation reflux.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just ask someone to make a copper pipe for the condenser pipe, and then soak it in water. (This theory is okay, because I personally verified it once before writing this chapter, and it was successful.
I made garlic essential oil, and then added some soy sauce and vinegar to dip the dumplings during the Chinese New Year)
So Xu Yun never understood.
Why do some protagonists in those novels that travel through ancient times have to go through logical loopholes to purify penicillin, instead of tinkering with fool-like artifacts like allicin?
Xu Yun then opened the garlic residue that had been enzymatically hydrolyzed in a salt bath, added the absolute ethanol he brought into it, and let it sit for a while.
This bottle of anhydrous ethanol was originally prepared by Xu Yun for emergency use. Now that Wang Yue was in critical condition, he had no choice but to consume this good thing first.
Another hour passed.
Counting the time spent preparing things, it is already very close to the hour agreed with Lao Su.
Xu Yun glanced at the glass and found that a little oily liquid had appeared in the gaps between some garlic.
This is standard garlic essential oil.
It is not a decomposition product of allicin, but an important raw material for allicin extraction.
In the local industrial field, factories use this stuff to extract allicin.
Therefore, with its appearance, it basically indicates a result
Allicin was successfully produced!
Think of this.
Xu Yun quickly took off the glass, walked out of the room with it, and spoke to Mr. Xie outside the door.
"Thank you for your attention. The medicine is ready. Let's go back to the east wing as soon as possible!"
Looking at Xu Yun, who had a slightly raised eyebrow, Mr. Xie couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart while keeping up.
Could it be that this guy has been getting through for a long time, so he really has some confidence?
Then the two of them hurried back to the east wing.
After another simple verification, he was placed in the courtyard.
Then Mr. Xie, the governor, led Xu Yun to the door and said respectfully
"Master, let's go back"
Before Mr. Xie finished speaking, he heard a creak and someone opened the door from the inside.
The person who opened the door was clearly Wang Zhen, and he said to Xu Yunde somewhat hastily.
"How's it going? Have you brought the medicine?"
Xu Yun nodded and raised the glass bottle in his hand
"The medicine is here."
Wang Zhen quickly moved aside and urged:
"Come in quickly, you are already lost in thought!"
The ancient proverb "absence of consciousness" is not the Aheiyan in it, but the literal meaning of losing consciousness, which is also known as coma or shock.
This is also a very, very dangerous signal.
Therefore, Xu Yun did not dare to neglect, and quickly walked into the room and came to the bedside.
Just as Wang Zhen said.
At this time, Wang Yue had completely lost consciousness and could not even hear the roaring sound in his throat.
However, Xu Yun noticed that there were several silver needles inserted into the Zhonghou's Baihui point, left temple and sole of the ankle.
If nothing else, it should be what Lao Su calls a life-saving means.
Acupuncture has always been a very magical program.
Especially for people like Xu Yun (who was a coder in his previous life), his fingers, neck and shoulders would have problems basically every month.
Xu Yun has tried ibuprofen, flurbiprofen and Voltaren, but in many cases it is not as effective as going to the hospital for acupuncture.
At least in Xu Yun's mind, acupuncture is indeed a subject worthy of further study.
After seeing him enter the house, Lao Su glanced at the glass bottle in his hand. The silver needle in his hand was still shaking.
"Wang Lin, is this the folk remedy you call?"
Xu Yun nodded, protected the bottle with both hands, and raised it in front of him
"In the bottle is a medicine called allicin."
"garlic?"
Hearing this name, Lao Su couldn't help but frown.
garlic?
Can this thing save people?
However, considering that Wang Yue's life is now in critical condition, it is no longer easy for him to raise questions.
"Since your condition is too severe, I can't do anything to save it, so just give it a try, hey."
Seeing the obvious pessimism on Lao Su's face, Xu Yun didn't explain much.
After all, for people in this era, fecal water infection is basically like late-stage liver cancer in later generations, and it is an absolute terminal disease.
What Xu Yun is doing now is as outrageous as in the century when a beggar went to the hepatobiliary ward of the hospital and told a chief physician that he could solve liver cancer.
However, the chief physician (Lao Su) allowed Xu Yun to administer the medicine because of the mood of the patient's family (Wang Zhen) and because he really didn't have much means.
So you can't say that Lao Su is pedantic or looking down on others. In the final analysis, it's still a problem of cognitive ceiling.
After all, in this era, both the East and the West are far from the concept of modern medicine.
Then Lao Su stepped aside and motioned for Xu Yun to step forward.
Xu Yun quickly came to Wang Yue and gently tore open his strip of cloth.
I don't know if this is an illusion.
Xu Yun felt that after not seeing him for only two hours, the wounds on this man's body had worsened a lot.
The main suppuration site on Wang Yue's body was in the lower part of his chest. This location is between the lungs and the stomach and is a very sensitive area.
The fecal water contains a large amount of conditioned harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, so Wang Yue's injury was actually more serious than it seemed.
But again.
It is precisely because the source of infection is feces that allicin has the highest antibacterial effect.
Among them, Escherichia coli, Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative bacilli are all the target bacteria of allicin.
Even if Wang Yue does suffer from severe sepsis, allicin can still effectively achieve the killing effect, but the method will be more complicated. (See the author's words)
Of course.
It would be better if it was just bacteremia.
After all, today's medical conditions are too limited, and many treatment plans for future generations cannot be replicated.
Xu Yun then opened the glass bottle containing allicin, went deep into it with a sterilized spoon, and took a sip of the alcohol solution containing allicin.
Then he gently applied it to Wang Yue's wound.
Friends who have used alcohol to apply wounds should know this.
Alcohol is different from iodine. When applied to a wound, it will produce a strong irritation. The sourness is simply not something that ordinary people can bear.
Even a break the size of a fingernail can make a grown man scream in pain.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, when Xu Yun applied the allicin solution to Wang Yue's wound, the big man barely made any reaction, only the chicken twitched slightly.
.
This is not good news, as it indicates that the coupling signal in some areas has been completely blocked.
The coupling signal can be blocked, not to mention the body's function, and the proteins in some areas may even be inactivated.
Seeing this situation, Lao Su on the side couldn't help but frown.
Although he does not understand the concepts of allicin and antibiotics, his sense of smell is fine
He could smell the alcohol in the bottle and was sure it was strong liquor. Naturally, this Northern Song Dynasty medical scientist knew what would happen if strong liquor splashed on a wound.
However, Xu Yun's hand only paused slightly, and then continued to apply the solution.
A moment later.
The wound on Wang Yue's chest was covered with garlic solution, and the whole room was filled with the smell of garlic.
Bang——
Xu Yun put the spoon back into the glass, stood up and said to Lao Su
"Master, the medicine is ready."
Wang Zhen on the side couldn't wait any longer and asked quickly
"How long will it take to correct you? If you can be saved, how long will it take to see the results?"
Xu Yun thought for a while and found that the local allicin usually takes two hours to take effect when applied externally. The resistance of the ancients was much lower than that of later generations, so the effect must be much faster.
Look at it with full calculation
One and a half hours is enough, right?
However, out of caution, he still reported a relatively safe time.
"If nothing else happens, it will be effective within an hour."
Wang Zhen muttered a few times, but in the end he said nothing.
During the previous process of Xu Yun's pharmaceutical preparation, he had already learned about Xu Yun's origin from Lao Su.
A male actor escaped on a boat. Apart from his strange clothes, he didn't have any special appearance.
Therefore, from an emotional point of view, Wang Zhen really hopes that his brother can survive.
But his reason kept telling him that Wang Yue's life might have come to an end.
that's all.
In the room, Wang Zhen and Lao Su were sitting, and Xu Yun was standing at the head of the bed.
The three of them were silent, waiting for the final result together.
A quarter of an hour
two quarters of an hour
three quarters of an hour
Time passed slowly, and Wang Yue still showed no sign of waking up.
But gradually, Lao Su's eyes quietly glowed with light.
Previously, in order to save Wang Yue's life, he used silver needles to stimulate several of Wang Yue's acupuncture points, basically stimulating his life potential without reservation.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, Wang Yue's vitality can only last about two quarters of an hour.
At present, including Xu Yun's application process, a full four-quarters of an hour has passed.
That is exactly half an hour.
Although Wang Yue's pulse condition is still critical, his life has not come to an end.
That is to say
Xu Yun’s folk remedy seems to be effective?
Of course.
Lao Su did not say these words.
After all, no one can say for sure whether Wang Yue's vitality is tenacious and he has always refused the call of black and white.
Even if Hua Tuo and Bian Que were alive, it would be impossible to accurately measure a person's life to a certain quarter of an hour.
Therefore, he could only choose to continue waiting, but the seat he was sitting in was changed from the chair in the middle of the room to the bedside where Wang Yue was.
And after a while, the pulse will be diagnosed.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
Lao Su once again checked Wang Yue's pulse as a routine.
However, not long after he took hold of his hand, his breath froze, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions of shock, surprise, joy and a little guilt.
He opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes quickly jumped between Xu Yun and Wang Zhen several times.
"Your pulse condition seems to be improving!"
Hula——
Hearing these words, Wang Zhen immediately stood up from the chair and ran to the bed with a long stride. He didn't even know that the chair had been brought down.
"Su Bo, are you serious?"
Lao Su closed his eyes and felt his pulse again. When he opened his eyes this time, his eyes were much calmer.
He was silent for a moment, nodded slowly and said
"Your pulse condition has stabilized. Although the internal evil still persists and the underlying fire is hot and dry, it is much better than before."
As soon as Lao Su finished speaking, a dry voice came from the bed.
"water water"
Note
Many students see me saying that I will update in the early morning, so they will wait. Let me tell you something here. When I say early morning, I sometimes mean five or six in the morning, so there is no need to wait deliberately. My hand speed is the speed per hour. It takes seven or eight hours to close the chapter normally.
.
This chapter is a big one, so it’s quite late, it’s not me.
We are not closed during the Spring Festival. For the sake of staying up all night, I feel confident asking for a monthly pass!!!
