Chapter 32: Penicillin

About three o'clock in the evening (about nine o'clock in the evening), the dark palace suddenly lit up, from the north of the palace Longshou Mountain looks like a starry fireflies, starting from the Shicui Palace, like two tributaries of the river.

The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are high pecked. Hundreds of palace ladies bowed their heads, wearing narrow sleeves and high-waisted long skirts, embroidered skirts tied above the chest, combed with hanging lotus buns, arms intersecting and holding long pole palace lamps, graceful figures hurriedly drove on the winding paths, and knocked on the doors when they met the palace dining rooms, and the corners of their eyebrows were full of anxiety.

At the Chengtian Gate (Main Gate) of Miyagi, dozens of eunuchs rode fast horses to Changlu Temple, which was close to Jingfeng Gate. As the exclusive department in charge of the royal sacrifices and the provision of meals for various ceremonies, although the officials leave work early, there are also exclusive officials to take care of here.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the gatehouse of the side gate of Changlu Temple, there was a faint yellow light inside, and the old clerk was wearing a shabby sheepskin jacket, revealing a crack from the side door, and got out, sighed into his hand, and asked, "Envoy, what is the matter?" ”

There are many kinds of titles for eunuchs in ancient times, and before the Ming Dynasty, they were generally titled by titles, such as Qin Zhaogao is the order of the CRRC government, and Zhang Rang and others in the Eastern Han Dynasty are also called permanent servants...

The customary eunuch was a compliment before the Ming Dynasty, and if you called him a eunuch, the scholar would even scold you for flattery.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the more common titles of eunuchs were the middle envoys, and the internal envoys, if they met big people, they should be honored and honored!

The eunuch at the head stopped his horse, glanced at the old official with his grim eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "According to the emperor's order, all the moldy steamed buns in Taichang Temple will be handed over to the inner palace." ”

Steamed bread is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang when he captured Meng Shu seven times, so steamed bread has the meaning of 'brute head'.

The old official was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and then opened the vermilion main gate of Taichang Temple, looking at the group of envoys, he sighed in his heart, I don't know which immortal god the chief official of Taichang Temple offended, and he actually checked it late at night...

Of course, the old clerk couldn't guess that there were other reasons for this...

......

Pick up the green hall.

Looking at a few baskets of moldy steamed buns placed in the Shicui Palace, the sour smell can be asked clearly, if it is not for the emperor to order the doors and windows to be opened, even this smell can smoke people to death.

Concubine Yang's frightened body couldn't stop trembling, and her face was not much better than Li Ke who was lying on the sickbed, as long as her Ke'er survived the fever and her body temperature dropped. But what if you eat this rancid steamed bun?

This!?

The more she thought about it, the more terrifying she became, and her habitual thinking told her that if she spoiled steamed buns and ate them in her stomach, would she still be okay?

For example, the current Li Yuan is like the old plug in "Medicine" that can cure tuberculosis by eating human blood steamed buns, and he says that human blood can be cured by medicine...

It's inevitable... It's ridiculous!

"Only... If you don't eat those moldy parts, Ke'er might be able to survive. Concubine Yang's status was low, and she didn't dare to resist, so she could only murmur silently in her heart.

"Father-in-law?" The eldest grandson Wujian frowned slightly, and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Father-in-law?" This method is really useful, everyone knows that moldy food will have diarrhea when eaten in the stomach, and if you eat too much, people may not be in..."

"It's going to be fine!" Li Yuan waved his hand, if you eat moldy steamed buns, it is indeed easy to be poisoned and die, but those molds are not necessarily?

Moldy steamed buns contain non-toxic fungi such as penicillium and yeast, as well as strong carcinogenic molds such as Aspergillus flavus.

Penicillin is extracted from Penicillium.

As long as you throw away the steamed bread with high Aspergillus flavus content, and only take the moldy steamed bread that contains penicillin and yeast. (Don't eat moldy steamed buns!! )

In fact, extracting penicillin is not a complicated process, but it takes a long time, and Li Yuan does not have so much time. And Li Ke did not die early in history, so Li Yuan just went through the motions this time, which was a big step in relieving the victims and a foreshadowing for the promotion of penicillin.

And how to keep Li Ke from eating to death?

Li Yuan walked to the baskets of rancid steamed buns, broke them one by one, smelled their smell, if there was a faint smell of rice wine, that is, the smell of alcohol, he would stay, those were yeast-rich, and they couldn't be eaten. The other steamed buns, whether there is penicillium or not, are thrown aside first, anyway, this time Li Ke is not treated with penicillin, just coaxing.

Those who have studied biology know that the nutrition of petri dishes is limited, in other words, the nutrition of the epidermis of steamed bread is also limited, and there are many yeasts, plus penicillium that is blue, then the content of Aspergillus flavus will be relatively low.

After a while, Li Yuan took a thin layer of moldy steamed bun skin with a celadon bowl, and was about to walk over to feed Li Ke.

But unexpectedly, the weak Concubine Yang suddenly stood up on the bed, because she knelt for too long, her legs were numb and almost fell, but those arms were like eagles flying with wings, full of strength, and said sonorously word by word: "Your Majesty... Next, the concubine body... Forbid! ”

Li Yuan frowned, ready to explain, but he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wujian, who was leaning on Concubine Yang's side, took the lead in speaking, and scolded: "Sister Concubine Yang, step aside!" ”

"No!" Concubine Yang seemed to protect the stubborn cow of the young beast, and shook her head desperately. "Concubine... This retreat, Ke... Ke'er may die, Ke'er is the life of the concubine, and the concubine will not live without him! ”

"Stand down!" The eldest grandson Wujian scolded again, and motioned to the female officials on the left and right to pull Concubine Yang away.

The Emperor's majesty is inviolable, and you can admonish him before he does something wrong, but if he has already decided to do so, she must abide by and uphold it as a 'concubine'.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty! Imperial Physician Xu rushed into the room in a hurry, but was stopped by the guard in front of the door, disdainfully tossed the sword blocking his chest, and said happily: "Minister... Chen Shi just tried it, snake venom really can't eat the dead..."

"Stop first and listen to what Imperial Doctor Xu has to say?" Although Li Yuan was a little unhappy that Concubine Yang stopped him, he was also understandable about protecting his son.

On the contrary, it was the eldest grandson who made him a little unable to see through...

Imperial Physician Xu, who was stopped by the guards, looked happy, strode into the room, and didn't care about etiquette, and said excitedly: "According to what Your Majesty said, Weichen divided into three groups of experiments, the first chicken ate snake venom, the second chicken stuck snake venom on the wound, and the third chicken wound was stained with snake venom soaked in vinegar. As a result, only the second chicken died, and the other two were still crowing. ”

After that, I was also excited to learn the crowing of the rooster.

Concubine Yang, who stretched out her arms in front of the bed and was about to stop Li Yuan, suddenly hesitated, when something that refutes common sense happens, you will remain suspicious of another absurd thing next, instead of directly denying it!

Therefore, the most clever deception is to win the trust of people first, such as Macau casinos often lose money to you first, and then cheat money...

Li Yuan bowed slightly, remembering the information he had done on the Internet before, and said: "I have heard in the homes of the people of Chang'an before that some tailors who cut their hands will apply green hat paste to the wound in order to speed up the healing of the wound..."

"Chen Ye has heard of it, and he used to think that he was just a fool in the countryside who didn't know how to educate, but he didn't expect it..."Imperial Doctor Xu nodded.
