Chapter 252
Qiu Chen turned around, his gaze casually swept over Qin Zheng, and saw that the other party gave her a thumbs up and smiled approvingly at her! It is really surprising that such a large-scale expression was made by this person with facial paralysis.
In an instant, Qiu Chen was a little dazed, his eyes couldn't help but linger on the earth-shattering smile, stunned, and then he woke up, his eyes were clear, he responded with a slight smile, turned his gaze back, and talked to Old Man Mu about cowpox.
"Actually, I've only seen cowpox in an ancient book, it's ......"
Qiu Chen told Old Man Mu about the concept and general operation idea of cowpox, Old Man Mu changed his usual banter, listened attentively, and waited for Qiu Chen's narration to come to an end, Old Man Mu pondered for a moment, and said: "This cowpox method sounds almost the same as human pox, but it uses cowpox vaccines...... Well, when you just said that you were collecting cowpox scabs or pus, were you looking for them from cows? ”
Qiu Chen carefully recalled the historical information about cowpox, and replied: "Presumably, the old man also knows that the pox of people in the Dao is divided into 'Shi Miao' and 'Ripe Miao', and this cowpox is actually divided into 'Shi Miao' and 'Mature Miao'. Needless to say, 'Shi Miao' is harvested from the pox on the cow's body. 'Ripe seedlings' refer to pox caused by human contact with pox-affected cows...... It will be safer to use this kind of human 'cowpox' to collect seedlings and plant pox. ”
After saying that, Qiu Chen had to consider eliminating the biochemical terms she was used to, and she should try to avoid using modern habitual words, so that her words did not sound so coherent and fluent, and it was exactly like this, listening to other people's ears, I believed that she was all from the 'ancient books'.
Old Man Mu nodded clearly, "That's ...... Hehe, the old man is looking for it......"
And so it was! It was really as Qiu Chen guessed, as soon as he heard the effective method of preventing and controlling the epidemic, the old man Mu, a medical madman, couldn't care about anything.
Qiu Chen smiled, but he still raised his hand to stop Old Man Mu: "Uncle Mu, wait!" ”
"You girl, you are not very old, why are you so verbose? Summoning the old man, what else is there? Old man Mu was stopped, obviously impatient, and complained.
Qiu Chen didn't care, and said with a smile: "Mu Bo, are you thinking about getting cowpox yourself?" ”
Old man Mu nodded without hesitation and admitted.
Qiu Chen smiled: "Mu Bo, since you have been in contact with so many people pox before, have you already planted pox?" People who have had pox, but there is no way to spread cowpox again! ”
Old man Mu blinked, suddenly came over, patted his leg, and sighed: "The old man was in a hurry, and he almost made a mistake." Ha Luha, thanks to the girl's reminder...... Let's go! ”
Laughing, Old Man Mu turned around and left, and when the words fell, the person had disappeared, only the door curtain shook slightly, indicating that someone had just passed by.
In front of Old Man Mu, Qiu Chen always likes to tease this uninhibited old man, but in his heart, he is full of reverence for this old man who is obsessed with medical research. This is a medical research work that comes completely from the heart and spontaneously, and does not care about fame and fortune at all...... Such a person is truly worthy of respect! It is also a height that Qiu Chen has not been able to reach in two lifetimes!
She asks herself, she is also a person with a conscience and a sense of responsibility, but her sense of responsibility and conscience are limited, and she wants to get a considerable return...... Compared with Old Man Mu, her starting point is utilitarian, not pure!
Secretly sighed for a moment, turned around, Qiu Chen smiled at Qin Zheng and said, "The old man loves medicine like an idiot...... It's really admirable! ”
Qin Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "The old man is indeed obsessed with medical skills...... It's just that he loves medicine but uses it to heal people, as he himself said, it's just a preference! ”
Qiu Chen was stunned, and then sighed: "I can have such a preference, and I can write down what I think in detail...... Even if the old man himself does not use it to heal people, as long as what the old man has learned can be passed on, the number of people who will benefit is far more than the old man who heals alone! ”
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded in a deep voice, and hooked his lips slightly: "That's really the case!" ”
"That's right, it also shows the preciousness of the old man regardless of fame and fortune!" Qiu Chen smiled, "I originally wanted to ask the old man what to do with those wild meats, but now...... Hehe, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look! ”
Saying that, Qiu Chen said goodbye to Qin Zheng and came out of the front yard, and Qin Zheng didn't do much to keep it.
Out of the main house, just as the Wang family brought Qin Zheng's rice over, Qiu Chen looked at the small copper hot pot on the tray, and two plates of meat slices, said hello with a smile, staggered past the Wang family, and went straight to the backyard.
There was a lot of game at home, and Old Man Mu got it back, so Qiu Chen sent someone to Mrs. Lin, Lan Ying's family, the third grandmother, and Mr. Pan in the West Courtyard to send one or two each.
From a codex of Old Man Mu, Qiu Chen remembered smallpox and pox again, and from these, Qiu Chen remembered the research and production of various vaccines......
The production of various vaccines requires perfect culture conditions and a harsh aseptic operating environment...... Prior to these, glass culture ...... and the microscope, an indispensable tool for studying microorganisms, has been proposed again.
The prerequisite for making a microscope is glass, and it is high-grade optical glass......
Qiu Chen returned to the house and took out the telescope from Ah Fu's box for the rest of his life, the production process of the monocular is still relatively simple, the glass process of this telescope is far from being comparable to the level of modern technology, and the clarity is not enough, but it is also very difficult to have such a glass making process.
Thinking about it, Qiu Chen planned to say hello to Yun Jichen and ask him to ask his friends who ran the sea boat to find some exquisite colorless glass to come back, of course, it would be better to be able to get the firing process of glass!
Well...... If you say that you make a microscope, I am afraid that you will not be able to attract Yun Jichen's attention, if you say that you make a mercury mirror and make all kinds of glass products by yourself...... You can even describe the glass window, I believe that driven by huge profits, there is no need for her to say, Yun Jichen will also try his best to find a way to get the glass making process back!
Suddenly thinking of such a good idea, Qiu Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and became interested, and made two pheasants called flower chickens with the pheasants brought back by Old Man Mu, buried them under the stove in the big kitchen, and then happily went back to the room to write a letter to Yun Jichen. Living at home, this simple and peaceful life, she is reluctant to leave.
Qiu Chen went into the ear room to wash his hands, and Chunxiang had already prepared paper and pen and sharpened the ink.
Qiu Chen took off his shoes and went to the kang, sat at the kang table, held a pen in his hand, and was thinking about how to tell Yun Jichen, so as not to let the cunning little fox realize that he was really attentive, so he heard the laurel report outside the door, saying that Mrs. Pan of the school was coming.
Although Pan's mother said that her attitude towards her had changed a lot, and she could say hello with a smile and say a word or two every time she met her, she had never come to Lin's house and came so abruptly...... What is it for, exactly?
Puzzled in his heart, Qiu Chen did not delay. Don't look at this confused old lady, but also take care of Mr. Pan's face. Pan Jiaqing has been in Liujiaao for more than a year, and she has done her best to teach several children, Qiu Chen is very grateful, which can also be seen from the various kinds of care she takes on weekdays much more than the restraints.
"Hurry up and invite Mrs. Pan in!" Qiu Chen commanded, got up and got off the kang, put on his shoes and came out, Pan Mu had already followed Yuegui into the courtyard.
Qiu Chen greeted him with a smile on his face: "Old lady Pan! ”
"Hehe, Mrs. Lin ......" Pan Mu smiled before speaking, her face was a little uncomfortable, and after seeing Qiu Chen who came out, she also dispersed, and said with a smile on her face, "Thank you for taking care of me on weekdays, either sending it or sending it, and today I sent a hare to the past...... No, I just steamed a pot of nine-layer cakes, and I also took two pieces for Mrs. Lin to taste......"
As he spoke, he raised the food box in his hand, Qiu Chen took it with a smile and let Pan's mother into the house, but he didn't beckon Pan's mother to go to the inner room to go to the kang, but sat on the couch in the east room.
The food box was placed on the couch, and in the middle of the tea, Qiu Chen opened the food box. There is a porcelain plate in the food box, and there are two square cakes on the plate, the cake is translucent, one layer of yellow, one layer of white, one layer of green, the layers are distinct, the color is bright, and it is slightly steaming, it is just out of the pot.
"This, how can Mrs. Pan's hands be like this, and she can make such layers of cakes, like a rainbow after the rain, it's really beautiful!" Qiu Chen sighed with a smile and handed it to Yufeng, who was waiting beside him, "Cut everything and bring it up to taste." ”
Old Lady Pan's eyes turned from Yufeng, who was retreating with her hands down, to Qingxing, who was smiling and bringing tea, and then swept over the furniture in the room, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, she turned her gaze back, and smiled at Qiu Chen: "Where is it worth Mrs. Lin to say this, it's just like steaming cakes, take a lively mood, nothing strange!" ”
Steamed cakes? Layer upon layer...... This Qiu Chen knew it. It seems that this nine-layer cake is also coming from layer to layer.
I probably understood in my heart, Qiu Chen still admired: "You have to be clever and clever for the old lady!" ”
Mrs. Pan smiled and said humbly, and Yufeng brought a plate of cut nine-layer cakes and sent them up, as well as a plate of home-made small shortbread.
Qiu Chen asked Mrs. Pan: "This is a home-made shortbread, the old lady can taste it!" ”
As he spoke, he pinched a nine-layer cake and said with a smile: "I can't wait to try this delicacy made by the old lady!" ”
Just saw the translucent, a little crystal clear nine-layer cake, Qiu Chen guessed that it was made of glutinous rice, but when he pinched it in his hand, it was not sticky at all, and the tentacles were very soft and elastic...... This surprised her.
Put a nine-layer cake in your mouth, bite into a small piece and taste it slowly.
"Well, it's soft, it's springy, it's sweet and fragrant...... It's delicious! Qiu Chen swallowed a nine-layer cake and couldn't help but sigh, "Mrs. Pan's nine-layer cake is really delicious, it's the first time I've eaten this kind of cake!" ”
Mrs. Pan shook her head with a smile and said, "It's not worth anything, if Mrs. Lin likes it, the old woman will tell you the method in detail......
After a few words of introduction by Mrs. Pan, Qiu Chen learned that this nine-layer cake is made of kudzu powder dug in the mountains, and the color is a variety of candied fruits and dried flowers ground into fine powder.
Not to mention, Mrs. Pan's mind is really exquisite!
"Don't hide it from Mrs. Lin that the old woman's family is a dim sum shop, and when she was a girl, she learned some skills in making dim sum with her family...... Later, when I got married, I had a husband and children, and these were all thrown away...... "Pan's mother sighed and said, Qiu Chen responded while responding, but she was secretly surprised in her heart, as far as her relationship with Pan's mother was concerned, there was no friendship at all, it didn't seem to be enough to talk about the family's background, right?
was puzzled, Pan Mu had already finished talking about her origin, changed the topic, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Lin Wuniang also opened a dim sum shop in Fucheng?" ”
Qiu Chen seemed to have something flashing in his mind, but he couldn't catch it because he was too fast.
Nodding, Qiu Chen said with a smile: "Yes, it's been open for half a year, but it's been closed for a while because of the epidemic in the middle!" ”
Pan's mother seemed to be very satisfied with Qiu Chen's answer, and said with a smile: "I didn't know about Lu Dao before, if I had known Lu Dao, Lin Wuniang would have been able to talk about making dim sum in those days when Lin Wuniang went home......
Qiu Chen felt a little unable to respond, so he had to echo with a smile: "The fifth sister will come back in a few days, and the New Year will always rest!" ”
"That's right, haha, that's right!" Pan's mother smiled and responded, paused slightly, and said, "Mrs. Lin is not an outsider, and the old woman will not see Mrs. Lin outside, so if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
Qiu Chen was surprised, I don't know where to start with the phrase 'not an outsider' by Lu Dao Pan's mother, speaking of which, the two of them have only been like enemies for a few days, when did they become 'insiders', she is not conscious at all!
Whether she was surprised or not, Pan's mother really said it directly: "Lin Niangzi also knew that the family had a difficult life before, and the old man was in a hurry again, not to mention the delay in Jiaqing's exam, and the marriage was also delayed...... Alas, the old woman is so anxious, and there is no suitable one, Jiaqing looks good to speak, but in fact, he is very stubborn, he himself is not optimistic about Lu, and I don't dare to lay out more...... Fortunately, a few days ago, I suddenly mentioned Lin Wuniang once, although it was just a sentence, it may make him remember and mention it in front of me, it must be heartfelt, the old woman thought about it, and thought that it was still Torin Niangzi to probe a word, if the Lin family is interested, in addition to the service next year, I will immediately send a matchmaker to the door to propose. If you don't want to...... That's because the two of them have no fate, and they won't spread the word, so as not to embarrass everyone. ”
Qiu Chen suddenly understood, just after hearing Pan's mother mention Lin Xianniang, she thought about it, but she couldn't be sure, she didn't think that she really took a fancy to Lin Xianniang and wanted to marry her back as a daughter-in-law.
As for whether Pan's mother really didn't treat her as an outsider in this matter, or whether she had other hidden intentions, Qiu Chen didn't bother to think about it.
After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Chen pondered, if Lin Xianniang really married Pan Jiaqing, she could be regarded as a talented woman. In terms of family background, the Pan family is lower, but the Lin family is a convicted family and has just been pardoned. Pan Jiaqing is only Gao Zhiyuan, if there is no accident, the scientific examination background will definitely be able to achieve something. But how to say that all the way down the test, even if it goes smoothly, it will take more than three years of hard work, and with these few years, the affairs of the Lin family will be more diluted, and it will not have any impact on Pan Jiaqing.
After pondering for a while, Qiu Chen pondered and said, "I think it's a beautiful thing...... Okay, since the old lady can trust me, I'll ask the old lady Lin what she means...... Or, I have to ask the meaning of the fifth sister, so please be patient and wait for a few days, okay, I will reply to the old lady when I get the letter! ”
"Oh, that's going to make Mrs. Lin tired......" Pan's mother looked happy and thanked her and said goodbye. Qiu Chen sent it outside the second gate and handed back the food box containing the small shortbread and cake to Pan's mother, who was polite again, and then left.
Qiu Chen turned back, pondered all the way, and went straight into the Xili House.
Zhao had already come over to wait, and when he saw Qiu Chen coming in, he hurriedly greeted him, and was about to pour tea again, but was stopped by Qiu Chen and pulled them to sit on the edge of the kang.
"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, you sit down, I have something to do, you and our mother give me ideas." Qiu Chen pulled the Zhao family to sit down next to each other, and said what Pan's mother meant just now.
Liu Shi groaned: "I have seen Mr. Pan and the daughters of the Lin family, and they are very compatible with each other in appearance, and they are of similar age...... I'm afraid that the Lin family dislikes the Pan family's family background is too thin. ”
Zhao nodded and agreed: "Yes, although Mr. Pan is good at learning, after all, he doesn't have a reputation, and he doesn't even have a foothold in his family......"
Speaking of this, Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Liu, and finally said carefully: "I heard that the old lady of the Pan family is very powerful......
Seeing Zhao so cautiously, Qiu Chen patted her hand and said with a smile: "I think so too...... It's just that Mr. Pan's knowledge is really good, as long as he is not too unlucky, it will only take three or five years to become famous,...... If the fifth sister of the Lin family follows Mr. Pan, she will only have to endure two or three years of hard work, and when Mr. Pan becomes an official, she will raise her eyebrows. ”
"My sister's words are reasonable, only by sharing hardships can we be rich and prosperous!" Zhao said with a smile.
Liu also nodded: "Since she came over to entrust you, you don't have to be embarrassed, you just passed on a word, and the matter still has to be decided by the old lady of the Lin family and Lin Wuniang." Take note, the Pan family will have to find another matchmaker if they propose marriage, this is a good thing for you, and there will be no harm. ”
Qiu Chen sighed and relaxed: "In this way, I will rest assured, I am afraid that I will do something bad with good intentions." ”
As they spoke, the children and the father and son of the Yang family also came back, the family was lively and had dinner at two tables, the children went to Erjin to read and write as usual, Qiu Chen didn't stop more, freshened up a little, and went to the West Courtyard.
explained the intention, Mrs. Lin was very happy, and said, "This matter is for you to worry about Xianniang." According to my meaning, Mr. Pan is a good man, with good character and knowledge...... It's just that you have to ask what Xian Niang means about this. I'll write a letter, bothering you to help me send it to Xian Niang, ask her what she means, and then reply to the Pan family! ”
Qiu Chen had already guessed this situation, so he was not surprised, and he personally grinded ink and waited for Mrs. Lin to write a letter, Qiu Chen took it, and then said goodbye and turned back.
When he returned to the room, Qiu Chen wrote the letter to Yun Jichen again, finished the letter to Yun Jichen, also packed it and sealed it with fire paint, and called Zhao Jiu to come over and hand the letter to him, so that he could send it to Anyang City on horseback early the next morning.
Zhao Jiu answered the letter and was about to retire, when he heard Qiu Chen say: "You go to Anyang City and come back, bring me a hundred catties of white quartz back." Oh, there should be sales in the pharmacy, you say hello to the shopkeeper Chen of the Rejuvenation Hall in advance and ask him to stock up on the goods, there may not be so many in the daily pharmacy. ”
Zhao Jiu repeated it, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he retreat.
Write a letter to Yun Jichen to find a way to change the recipe for firing glass from overseas, she might as well try to burn it herself, if she can't burn high-grade glass, she can burn a piece of glass to embed the window. I really can't even burn a piece of window glass, so I can burn a glass vase and glass thing!
Well, she's not demanding!
On the second day after Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing drank together, Yun Jichen went south to inspect the trade routes and check the soap markets everywhere.
Liao Wenqing arrived at the dock with Yun Jichen early in the morning, and boarded the boat with his front and back feet, but Yun Jichen went south, and he boarded the boat to the north to greet his parents and two sisters-in-law.
It really made Yun Jichen guess that Liao Jiacheng and his family left Beijing all the way south and came to Anyang City, according to the original itinerary, they could reach Anyang City around the Double Ninth Festival. It's just that the little grandson brought by the second daughter-in-law is too young after all, and he has not yet reached the age of one.
Fortunately, the Liao family is a family of Xinglin, and there are all kinds of pills in the luggage, at that time, Liao Jiacheng personally checked the pulse, and determined that it was wind, and was a little frightened, and hurriedly let people turn into a child Wan Jindan for the little grandson, and an hour later, the heat subsided slightly. But before the family could breathe a sigh of relief, the child's heat burned again, this time, Liao Jiacheng didn't dare to be self-conscious, and hurriedly ordered the boat's family to dock the boat in the nearest Linqing Town, and then sent someone ashore to find Lang Zhong, not to mention, and even Pegasus rushed back to the nearest Zhengding City to bring the pediatric doctor from the Zhengding City Rejuvenation Hall over.
This happened on the eighth day of the first month of September, the ninth day of the first month of September, Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen returned to Liao Mansion after drinking, and someone came up to summon them, but Liao Wenqing was drunk and couldn't wake up at all, and after being awakened before dawn on the second day, he took Lang Zhong, the best pediatric in Huichun Hall, and his second brother Liao Wenxi, and hurried out of the city to the north, but just in time to board the ship with Yun Jichen.
The brothers hurried all the way and arrived in Linqing Town on the evening of the third day.
Along the way, a few hours later, a servant of the Liao family rushed over to report the news, only saying that the third young master of the Liao family had subsided and was fine, and Liao Wenqing and the second brother Liao Wenxi were also a little relieved.
It's just that when they arrived in Linqing Town, they learned that Liao Wenxi's son was not an ordinary blower, but actually had chickenpox.
Although chickenpox is not smallpox, it can also cause high fever and dizziness, and excessive high fever can also cause convulsions, fainting, shock, etc...... In this era, it is also a relatively dangerous pediatric disease.
