Chapter 354: Scurvy
However, scurvy treatment is not done overnight and requires a long period of treatment, at least two months to take effect.
"Qin Shi, you let these two rest first. They were sick with scurvy and could no longer work. Not only that, but vitamin supplements, which require long-term recuperation, and if left unchecked, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Ye Shuer has already made the severity of scurvy clear to everyone, if it is not treated, the answer is - death.
"You mean they have to stop what they're doing and recuperate?" Qin Shi was worried, what if all the crew members on the ship had this disease?
"Rest assured, the disease is not contagious, meaning it is not contagious to the rest of the population. However, it is best to use the utensils for eating separately, and the common people and the sick should be used separately."
Qin Shi nodded, "I understand, let's arrange it." But can you cure it?"
This is the first time I've heard of this disease, so isn't there no cure for it at all?
"Don't worry, this disease sounds terrifying. But it's mainly about food, do your crew members run the sea for a long time and rarely live on land?"
"Yes, I've been running sea freight all year long, what does it matter?"
Qin Shi didn't expect that Ye Shu'er obviously didn't know their life schedule, but she guessed eight or nine and couldn't leave ten. If this is not a miracle plan, then Shu'er is indeed a miracle doctor.
Ye Shu'er began to explain to everyone, and the two sick sailors listened attentively, even though they could not open their eyes now.
"It's because you haven't eaten fruits and vegetables for a long time that you get septicaemia. As long as you take enough vitamins, your body will definitely return to its former state after recuperation."
She didn't expect such a thing to happen, otherwise she would definitely remind Qin Shi to stock up on vegetables and fruits and put them on the boat. She has a lot of vegetables in her space, but not fruits.
It would be nice to have tomatoes or lemons, which are the best options for treatment.
"Do you know of any fruit that is very sour, the kind that sours people's teeth when eaten?" Fruits that are very acidic are generally accompanied by strong vitamins.
"Wild fruits?" Qin Shi really couldn't think of it, so there was only the kind of wild fruit on the mountain that no one wanted to eat, "Who would eat such an unpalatable fruit?"
"If you have one, try to eat it every day, so that you can relieve your current symptoms." It's great to be able to find fruit and vegetables that can replace lemons and tomatoes, but if you can't find them, you'll have to make do.
"How's the sour plum?" Song Xiulan said.
That's good, but now on the ship, you can't find such fruit.
"Yes, yes, but now the only vegetables on the ship are potatoes. Fruit is not easy to keep, so I didn't stock up, what should I do now?" Qin Shi's head was dizzy, too many things had happened recently, and now he didn't come to his senses, and this happened again.
"It's okay, we're going to be in Fucheng soon. Get them both more vegetables to eat first, and it's not too late to find them when they get to the shore. I'm going to prescribe them a prescription first, hoping to ease their pain."
There is also almighty spiritual spring water in her space, and there are many spiritual springs nowadays, but it is provided to the sailors on the ship. First boil a pot of spiritual spring water decoction and let everyone drink a little, just say to prevent disease, this is a good excuse.
Ye Shu'er had already figured out how to deal with it in a matter of seconds.
In this way, when he lasted until the tenth day, he finally arrived at Fucheng.
The familiar flow of people and cars, the vendors pushed the carts and shouted around the wharf, and the willows on both sides of the strait were still around, accompanied by a burst of blowing and singing, Ye Shuer and his party got off the boat.
"This is the city?" Song let out a burst of exclamation.
Not only was she stunned, but Zhang and Boss Xue were also shocked by the scene in front of them. The people here are all neatly dressed, and some even wear cotton clothes, and most of them show that the people in Fucheng are very wealthy.
"This ...... It's true?
The noise of the surrounding cars and horses, and the porter saw the boat docking, and immediately gathered around and asked if he needed help.
Where has Zhang seen this kind of world, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.
"Please help us move these goods to the Xue Mansion on Zhuangyuan Street, there are some calligraphy and paintings in the cage, please be careful." Ye Shu'er immediately stepped forward to negotiate with these people, and then took out dozens of dollars from her purse and handed it to these porters.
"Thank you, girl."
The porters were responsible for unloading, and the dock was some distance from Xue's house. If you don't hire a porter, it's a matter of trouble to get your bags back.
"Shu'er, just to help carry things, you can get dozens of dollars?" Boss Xue's eyes widened, eager to snatch the cage from those porters.
"Big brother, I'll talk to you in a moment. They feed by their strength, so they don't give much money."
Boss Xue: That's not much?
Ye Shu'er didn't have time to explain, so she took the confused Zhang family and the Song family who were amazed all the way, and went to the Xue Mansion.
To save time, she hired a horse-drawn carriage directly. Everyone had been on the ship for so long, she was already tired, at least she didn't want to walk.
"Shu'er, why do you have to spend this unjust money? My mother is in good health, but it's just a few steps away, what's not tiring about this?".
Ye Shu'er smiled and said, "Mother, I know that you are in good health, but my body is not as good as yours, and I can't walk."
As the saying goes: Reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
Ye Shu'er looked at Zhang's with a smile, even if Zhang's was dissatisfied, it was hard to say anything, and Shu'er was also thinking about her, she was the oldest here, but she was afraid that her legs and feet would be inconvenient.
"Alright, mother. We are not familiar with everything in the city, so let's listen to Shu'er's arrangement first!" The Song family is not a fool, this is blessed or not, what path to take?
"Mother, our place of residence is a little far away from Zhuangyuan Street, so we have to take a carriage to get there." Ye Shu'er is afraid that she will have a psychological burden, and the family's expenses will become more and more in the future, if she doesn't cultivate it from now on, I'm afraid there will be more opposition in the future.
"Shu'er, is it true that Fucheng costs money to do everything as the people in the village say?" Song is more curious about how people here live than they feel sorry for money.
The people of Fucheng are so rich, which means that they can earn more silver, isn't it a good thing?
"Not bad. If there is no well at home, and you go out and ask someone to fetch water to drink, then you also have to give money, three pennies a load of water." However, there is a well at home, and this unjust money is not needed.
