Chapter 92: Distillation

In this era, limited to the limited medical conditions, the body has not yet matured the fifteen or sixteen-year-old daughter-in-law, when giving birth to the firstborn baby, it is no less than breaking into the ghost gate, and the mortality rate is so high that it is frightening to death.

According to Li Zhongyi's knowledge, even in the palace of Shu Kingdom, where the conditions are quite good, when the concubines give birth, the proportion of both mother and child (female) death is as high as more than 3o%.

Even if the young palace concubine gives birth to a baby, her mortality rate is surprisingly high, and she can survive two out of ten births, which is already considered very lucky.

Bottle's age is one and a half years older than Li Zhongyi, he is twenty-one years old this year, and he is twenty years old, and his body has been fully fertilized, and there is no problem with pregnancy or childbirth.

However, Peony is eighteen years old this year, but she is actually only seventeen years old.

Li Zhongyi is a famous doctor, so naturally he will not let his woman break into the ghost gate. Therefore, in the sweet soup that peony likes to drink on weekdays, Li Zhongyi secretly added ingredients to prevent her from becoming pregnant too early.

After all, it was his own woman, Li Zhongyi was worried that the peony, who was mostly naked, was suffering from the wind and cold, so he picked up the mink and covered her body.

"Master, you are so good to slaves." Peony smiled sweetly and looked at Li Zhongyi with gratitude.

Li Zhongyi was secretly amused, if Peony knew that she was now tucking her abdomen and hips, and what she was doing was useless, how would she react?

There is no way, sometimes for the safety of relatives, you really can't tell the truth in everything, and the necessary kindness is concealed, and it will be better for peony.

The belly of the bottle and the peony never moved, but Mrs. Xue's abdomen became more and more bulging, and gradually became pregnant.

Li Dahe is still going to have a child when he is old, he can't be proud, he smiles all day long, and he can see everything.

Li Zhongyi has always wondered in his heart, his father Li Dahe is nearly fifty years old, and he is still so fierce, Leng is to let his mother, who is nearly forty years old, conceive his fellow brother or sister.

In these years, the risk of giving birth to an elderly woman is amazing, and Li Zhongyi does not dare to be careless.

Li Zhongyi pondered for a night, and in view of the fact that the risk was too great, just in case, he decided to prepare in advance a qiē tool for caesarean section.

For example, hemostats, scalpels, suture needles, sheep intestines, etc., with Li Zhongyi's current status, it is not difficult to get their hands on them.

The most troublesome thing is two things, one is the preparation of hemp*drunkenness, and the other is the purification of concentrated alcohol.

In 197o, the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College successfully developed a traditional Chinese medicine anesthetic with mandala flower (goldenrod) as the main material, which is very useful.

Li Zhongyi is very clear about the mystery, but unfortunately, he has no extraction at hand, and the necessary scientific instruments for ingredients such as hyoscyamine, scopolamine and a small amount of a*tropine contained in the mandala flower can only be sighed.

However, Li Zhongyi is a top famous doctor, and there are a few anesthetic remedies in his brain.

One of them is the sleeping san in "Bian Que's Heart Book", the main ingredients are mountain eggplant flowers and fire twist flowers (big * hemp), ground into powder and decoction with water.

The second is the grass Wusan in the Ming Dynasty's "Puji Fang", which is mainly made of mandala flowers, ground into powder, and served with hot wine.

The third is the "hemp boiling powder" restored in "Huatuo Divine Formula", the main ingredients are two coins of sheep's heel, half a penny of jasmine root, six coins of angelica, three points of calamus, and decoction in water.

Li Zhongyi only knows the formula of the above three methods of numb* drunkenness, but he has never used them personally. Because, in later surgeries, anesthesia * drunken agents are mainly relatively safe and stable.

According to the clinical practice of modern obstetrics and gynecology, for elderly women who have had a caesarean section, only the method of local anesthesia is generally used to avoid excessive risks of surgery.

But the problem is that Li Zhongyi can't make a numb* drunk injection for injection, and there is no way to talk about local anesthesia.

Damn, it really hurts, Li Zhongyi sat alone in the study, thinking about it, scratching his ears and cheeks, extremely distressed.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xue is only more than three months pregnant, and Li Zhongyi still has time to prepare for the delivery work.

Li Zhongyi first used a black charcoal pen to draw the shapes of hemostats and scalpels on paper, and made detailed notes on the side.

There are a lot of sheep intestines in the palace, so you don't need to worry too much about this. The needle for sewing the wound can be used only with a sewing needle, and the rust removal work can be done in advance, and then it can be roasted on the fire and disinfected with concentrated alcohol, and it can be used directly.

Li Zhongyi doesn't know how to make wine, but he knows how to distill. Polish distilled vodka, after repeated distillation for 7o times, its maximum height can reach 96 degrees.

The medical alcohol is 75 degrees, Li Zhongyi pondered by himself, distilled 35 times, it should be almost 75 degrees, right?

In this era, it was impossible for Li Zhongyi to make a measuring instrument that accurately measured the alcohol content, and everything had to rely on rough estimates.

The wine made from food crops such as sorghum is far from achieving the best sterilization effect of medical alcohol. It is best to be starchy plants, such as: kudzu, lily, soil cocos, etc., after saccharification, fermentation, and repeated distillation,

Li Zhongyi did what he said, and from the next day, he asked the carpenter and the bricklayer to make a special small kitchen in his small yard.

Kudzu, lily and Tufuling, there are many in the pharmacy outside, Li Zhongyi just let people take the money and buy a large number of them back.

Li Zhongyi made a list of the required numb* drunk medicinal materials to the Shang Pharmacy Bureau, and after saying hello, they sent someone to send double copies of the materials, which once again made Li Zhongyi appreciate the privileged benefits of being a leader.

Li Zhongyi used a special ceramic condenser tube made by the official kiln, and he prepared ten of the official kiln at one time, and the privilege of the young eunuch in the palace was once again waved to the extreme.

In order to pat Li Zhongyi's sycophants, the official kiln worked overtime and completed it all within five days and sent it to the Li Mansion.

Li Zhongyi is very satisfied with the cooperation of the official kiln, this is an obedient subordinate.

After getting ready, Li Zhongyi ordered someone to set up a large pot on the stove in the small kitchen, pour the fermented kudzu, lily and soil cocos into the cauldron, add water and cook vigorously.

After passing through the ceramic tubes, the water vapor condenses into a liquid that drips into a conical wooden barrel. After doing this repeatedly, Li Zhongyi's small courtyard was full of rich and mellow wine.

Two days later, the blacksmith of Kui Wangfu made ten hemostats and two scalpels, and sharpened a large number of suture needles.

After Li Zhongyi received the things, he patted Meng Renyi's shoulder with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "This is a good brother." ”

Meng Renyi twitched his nose, smelled the fragrant wine, and couldn't help but be moved, insisting on tasting the fine wine brewed by Li Zhongyi.

The distilled liquor in the barrel has only been distilled fifteen times, and Li Zhongyi has tasted it a little and thinks it looks like about forty-five degrees.

Anyway, he can't drink dead people, so Li Zhongyi took a wooden spoon and scooped up about two taels of wine for Meng Renyi to drink, but he didn't expect that the dignified prince Kui, who was used to drinking fine wine, was so spicy that his face was red and his neck was thick, he coughed and vomited repeatedly, his head was dizzy, and his feet were unstable.

Li Zhongyi was immediately embarrassed, Meng Renyi was used to drinking more than ten degrees of "rice wine", and suddenly couldn't adapt to the fierceness of the spirits, and actually got drunk.

"Bottle, hurry up to the big kitchen to get the celery, mash out half a bowl of juice with a pestle, and use it to sober up King Kui." After Li Zhongyi instructed the bottle, he helped Meng Renyi to his study and covered him with a quilt.

After the drunk Meng Renyi drank the celery juice, he fell asleep and slept until the fourth watch, and happened to participate in the regular ginseng with Li Zhongyi.

"I said, what kind of wine do you make? Why is it so strong? If you take it to the Drunken Immortal Building to sell, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money. Meng Renyi's unintentional words reminded Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, relying on the blessing of Dujiang Yun, the grain of Shu is harvested almost every year, and the price of grain is very cheap now, and a hundred copper coins can buy half a stone of grain.

According to Li Zhongyi's promise, although the families of the more than 500 township officers and soldiers who died in the battle in Hechi were all given land, Li Zhongyi had to pay the monthly alimony.

In the long run, he only can't get in and out, and even if Li Zhongyi has a mountain of gold, he can't bear the huge expenses of more than 500 yuan a month and nearly 7,000 yuan a year.

"I really need ideas to make a lot of money." Li Zhongyi muttered to himself.

During the entire court meeting, Li Zhongyi's eyes were always staring at Xiang Wat, not saying a word, but what was in his mind was the idea of making money.

Because he has already hooked up with Zhao Lao Er and made Zhao Lao Er owe three promises, Li Zhongyi has no need to risk losing his head to do this for the prohibited act of smuggling grain in the next week.

Where are the guests who are most willing to spend money? Li Zhongyi pondered and thought about it, and he felt that men were good at wine, wealth, and wealth.

And the place that can best reflect these four points, in addition to the green * building, I really can't find a second more suitable boundary.

In the era of imperial power, you have to beware of the sudden intervention of the royal family at all times, turning the fine wine you brew into requisitioned royal supplies.

Therefore, it is better to sell wine than to hold an auction by being famous, and it is one vote to earn one vote. When Meng Chang felt that the wine was good and wanted to monopolize it, because the amount was not large, Li Zhongyi had a room to toss and turn.

Privately brewed wine, it's okay to drink it at home. If it is used for public auction, it will be very inappropriate to continue to use the wine jar of the official kiln.

Li Zhongyi suddenly remembered that Meng Renyi once said that there was a small private kiln in his restaurant. The craftsmanship of the kiln is not much worse than that of the official kiln, mainly because the glaze color of the porcelain fired is limited, and it is not as colorful as in the palace.

So, after Li Zhongyi got off duty, he went to find Meng Renyi.

When Meng Renyi heard that only those who provided wine jars and shopkeepers could get a share of 30% of the profits, he immediately smiled from ear to ear.

"I said that there is no blame, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't belong to my family. Since becoming King Kui, my family's expenses have increased day by day, but the crops harvested in the fields have become less and less valuable. So in and out, don't hide it from you, brother, I'm worried about money now. Meng Renyi's statement is a slight exaggeration, but it is not far from the truth.

The prince's pomp must be maintained, the family is big, and there are countless mouths waiting for Meng Renyi to feed. These are still small heads, and the biggest expense is that Meng Renyi enjoys the huge expenses of life.

Li Zhongyi understands Meng Renyi's personality, as long as it is a good thing that is popular in the world, he must get it as soon as possible.

It just so happens that the palace is in the most lively West Market, and there are several shops, which only sell some items such as silk satin, rouge, and gouache on weekdays. Although there are some gains, the profit margins are not large.

After all, the magnates in the city are doing business in secret, and on the same street, there are several shops selling the same goods, so naturally they can't afford to raise the price.

In fact, for Li Zhongyi, even if there is no shop, his wine business will continue. It's just that he knows a little about Meng Renyi's family's financial situation.

Such a hardcore brother, Li Zhongyi will never eat alone, and if he is rich, the brothers will naturally earn it together.

The shop is ready, the shopkeeper is ready-made, and what Li Zhongyi needs to consider is how to mix the wine.
