Chapter 1163: Controlled Trials

Xia Ruofei thought of the situation of people with fatty liver.

This disease was not particularly common before, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people slowly get fatty liver, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is too good to eat and the body can not absorb it.

In fact, modern Chinese medicine also has research on fatty liver, Xia Ruofei in addition to absorbing the traditional Chinese medicine classics in the inheritance jade talisman, he also found some Chinese medicine books in the outside world to assist in research.

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called eating fatty and greasy, which means that eating something high-fat, particularly heavy and oily can easily cause fatty liver.

In terms of the treatment of fatty liver, modern Chinese medicine also has a set of mature programs.

If you want to deliberately create fatty liver, you can completely do the opposite and find a way in terms of diet.

Xia Ruofei didn't know how different the body of this Strasbourg goose was from the human body, but he felt that he could give it a try.

In fact, the production of modern foie gras is also based on this method - the cruel feeding method used in the West is essentially to make the fat goose body unable to absorb it, and then the liver is overloaded and causes abnormal hypertrophy.

At the same time, in order to ensure the fatty and delicate taste of the whole foie gras, the farmer also has to minimize the calcium content in the food - without enough calcium during the development period, the goose will suffer from "hypochondria", squatting lazily in the cage and not moving, and the weight will "explode" in a geometric progression.

In this way, the goose needs to go through unbearable pain, every day it is locked in a small space, it is difficult to even turn around, and then every few hours it is inserted into the throat by an iron tube for twenty or thirty minutes, and a large amount of food is poured directly into it, and the stomach is stretched into a noodle bag, and before the food can be digested, it will be filled with food again.

It can be said that if the goose has thoughts, after experiencing such a miserable life, I am afraid that he will not be willing to be reincarnated as a goose for ten lifetimes.

If you want the goose to not experience such pain in the process of growth, and at the same time produce high-quality fat foie gras, you can only find a way in the diet structure.

There is no need to overeat, and at the same time, the nutrients and fat components in the diet must be seriously exceeded, even exceeding the effect of forced feeding by Western farms.

The thoughts in Xia Ruofei's mind gradually became clear......

In fact, there are many prescriptions that have such an effect, which were originally for malnutrition, used to make up for the body's qi and blood, if the dosage and ratio are adjusted to a certain extent, it will definitely make Strasbourg goose seriously overnourished.

Of course, the body structure of geese and humans is completely different, and how to adjust this prescription still needs to be tested many times.

But what is certain is that if this method is successful, the Strasbourg goose will experience almost no pain in the process of growth.

You must know that in addition to the distribution of nerves on the surface of the liver, there are almost no nerves inside, and the lesions in the human liver area will not feel anything in general, it is not painful or itchy at all, unless it has seriously spread to the surface of the liver, it will feel dull pain, which is why liver cancer is often diagnosed as an advanced stage, because patients feel pain in the liver area to seek medical attention, which is often very serious.

So, even though the livers of Strasbourg geese are abnormally enlarged due to the specially formulated food, they do not actually feel pain.

As for fattening the liver and slaughtering it, this is the law of nature, and even the most critical animal protectionist cannot find fault with it.

Xia Ruofei can determine several points at present, one is that the medicinal materials used in the prescription must be common medicinal materials, if you use precious medicinal materials such as ginseng for hundreds of years, there is no meaning at all, and the cost is too high; second, these medicinal materials must be easy to grow in large quantities; and third, we must find a way to turn them into powders that can be mass-produced.

Only if these conditions are met can it be possible to breed and breed Strasbourg fat geese on a large scale.

Xia Ruofei thought of this, raised his hand and looked at his watch, the time is now more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Ling Qingxue told him to rush to Ling's house in the riverside villa area on time at six o'clock for dinner, that is to say, he still has at least two hours or so to plan the time on the road.

He already had several options in his mind, and he had to test them as to how effective they would and what adjustments they needed.

He couldn't wait.

Since there was still time, Xia Ruofei immediately took out the spirit map scroll, and his mind moved slightly into the space.

Xia Qing didn't feel strange when he saw Xia Ruofei go and return—these days, Xia Ruofei almost had time to get into the space to process those materials.

Xia Ruofei beckoned to Xia Qing and said, "Xia Qing, stop the matter at hand for a while, I have something to do for you!"

Xia Qing hurriedly ran over and said respectfully, "Master, please command!"

Xia Ruofei said: "The batch of young geese I sent in just now, you can pick one...... Pick 5 of them and send them to the Yuan Chu Realm, calculate the time, and let them be hungry to the point of hunger, and the effect I want is that I will feed them later, even if the things are a little unpalatable, they will be eager to eat them!"

"Okay!" Xia Qing replied without hesitation, "Master, then I'll go first!"

The speed of time in the Yuan Chu Realm was thirty times that of the outside world, and Xia Ruofei mainly wanted to take advantage of the difference in flow speed to make these young geese quickly reach a state of starvation.

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

Xia Qing had just circled a small piece of grass in the mountain and sea realm, made a simple fence, and stocked them inside.

When Xia Qing went to pick the young geese, Xia Ruofei took the lead in coming to the Yuan Chu Realm - the utensils he used to make Chinese medicine and some common medicinal materials he stored were all in the Yuan Chu Realm.

Xia Ruofei quickly picked out a taste of Chinese medicinal materials from the shelf, sometimes stopped and groaned slightly, and then picked a few more, and finally he wrapped these medicinal materials separately, put them into a plastic sorting box, and then took a few mud stoves, casseroles, charcoal and other items for boiling medicine, and returned to the mountain and sea realm with a thought.

Xia Ruofei finally chose two prescriptions, both of which met the requirements - the medicinal materials were very ordinary, not expensive, and suitable for mass cultivation, and at the same time could ensure the efficacy of the medicine.

In the cave in the mountain and sea realm, Xia Ruofei wrote and drew on a piece of paper, and after several adjustments, each prescription formed two different ratios of medicinal materials.

After all, the body of the Strasbourg goose is still very different from the human body, and Xia Ruofei does not need to take into account the mild effect of the medicine, what he wants is the violent effect, so the proportion of the main medicine must also be increased.

The ratio of each medicinal material is the best medicine that Xia Ruofei thinks may be the best.

One prescription with two ratios, two prescriptions, there are four schemes, plus the ordinary feeding method is used as a control group, 5 test geese, the number is just right.

After determining the prescription, Xia Ruofei began to make a fire to boil the medicine.

Now he is familiar with boiling Chinese medicine, and even if he is boiling four different Chinese medicines at the same time, he can easily deal with it.

The herbs are put into a casserole and simmered with water.

Xia Ruofei kept observing the situation of the medicinal materials in the four casseroles, and added one or two medicinal herbs from time to time, and the process of boiling the medicine could be said to be orderly, busy but not chaotic.

More than an hour later, Xia Ruofei harvested 4 pots of traditional Chinese medicine.

He thought about it, dodged out of the space, found a bag of cornmeal in the kitchen of the cottage, and put it into the space as if he had found it.

Back in the upstairs villa, after Xia Ruofei entered the space, he divided the bag of cornmeal into five portions, four of which were poured into four casseroles, and stirred while pouring.

After a while, the four-pot batter was produced, they had the aroma of corn, and at the same time there was a smell of traditional Chinese medicine, I don't know if the Strasbourg geese would love to eat it, anyway, Xia Ruofei himself smelled a little weird.

As for the remaining portion of cornmeal, Xia Ruofei directly added water and stirred it into a batter - this is the food prepared for the young geese in the control group.

Xia Ruofei groaned slightly, and did not rush to find Xia Qing, but returned to the outside world.

He made a form on his computer and printed out several copies.

Here's a comparison table, he divides the five young geese into five groups, marks them separately, and then four of them take the Chinese medicine batter he makes every day, and the remaining one is fed according to the traditional method.

This comparison table is to fill in the food and weight of these 5 young geese every day.

Since it was an experiment, Xia Ruofei wanted to be as rigorous as possible, so that he could get the most accurate results.

Xia Ruofei took the form spit out by the printer in his hand, and then grabbed a carbon pen from the pen holder, and returned to the space with a thought.

"Xia Qing!" Xia Ruofei used his mental power to communicate directly with Xia Qing, "Are the 5 geese ready?"

"Master, I've been hungry all day!" Xia Qing said, "They all look like they're almost fainting from hunger, they can probably eat anything at this time!"

"Very good!" Xia Ruofei said, "bring them to the cave in the Mountain and Sea Realm." ”

"Yes, master!" Xia Qing said.

Xia Ruofei also walked out of the cave, and the five casseroles behind him floated in a straight line, and they floated out with him.

Each of the five casseroles has a word pasted on it, which is one two or three Wu.

The reason why Arabic numerals are not used is because the experiment was mainly done by Xia Qing, and it is easier to recognize the Chinese character Xia Qing.

After a while, Xia Qing came to the front of the cave with a bamboo cage, which contained the five Strasbourg goose cubs.

Xia Ruofei was not in a hurry to let Xia Qing release the young goose, but said to Xia Qing: "Xia Qing, in the next few days, you have to allocate some energy to help me complete an experiment!"

"No problem, master, you can command!" Xia Qing said without hesitation.

Xia Ruofei pointed to the 5 casseroles lined up on the ground and said: "There are 5 kinds of food here, and the corresponding numbers will be given to the young geese for a while, you feed them every day, I will tell you how to prepare the food, what you need to do is to use the time flow rate of the Yuan Chu Realm to speed up the progress of the experiment, and record each feeding, the form is here, you just fill it out according to the above requirements." ”

After speaking, Xia Ruofei handed the form and pen to Xia Qing.

The comparison table is very simple, Xia Qing can easily understand it, but the carbon pen makes him feel very fresh, this is very different from the brush, but it is very smooth to write.

He nodded and said, "No problem, master, just leave it to me!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I will give you four prescriptions, you boil Chinese medicine according to the prescription, and then mix it with cornmeal to make a batter, and give it to the young geese of Yi to Shi Hao, while the young goose of Wu Hao will eat corn batter directly, don't add anything else!"

After speaking, Xia Ruofei handed four more pieces of paper to Xia Qing.

These four prescriptions are actually two prescriptions, but because the proportion of medicinal materials has been adjusted, it can also be said that they have become two prescriptions.

There is also a number on each prescription paper, which is from "one" to "four", which corresponds to today's one-to-one casserole, which can be said to be clear at a glance.

Xia Qing glanced at the prescription and refining method, put them all into the sleeve cage, nodded and said, "Okay, master, this Chinese medicine boiling method is very simple, I will definitely be able to complete it!"

Xia Ruofei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, then this test will be left to you to do!"

Then, Xia Ruofei said: "Okay, let's start feeding first!

"Yes, master!" Xia Qing said.

Then he quickly grabbed a young goose out of the bamboo cage.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "You have to mark it, otherwise it will be confused!"

After speaking, Xia Ruofei took the young goose, silently condensed a trace of true qi in his hand, and gently stroked on the young goose, the yellow fluff suddenly fell down, and an Arabic numeral "1" appeared on the young goose's body.

Xia Ruofei said to Xia Qing: "Remember, this represents one! Let it eat the food of the No. 1 casserole!"

"Okay, master!" Xia Qing said.

Then he grabbed the goose and took the No. 1 casserole to the side.

Next, Xia Ruofei concocted the same method and marked the 5 young geese separately.
