Chapter 558: Extracting Allicin
Song Che asked for a quiet room, found a string of garlic, and began to extract allicin-
Mash the garlic first, then dry and crush it over a simmer, add alcohol and let it degrade.
Many phytochemicals are insoluble in water, but they are susceptible to organic solvents such as alcohol – for example, soaking wine in fruit such as oranges and grapes can stain the wine over time.
"Boss, you want to make garlic wine for the king to drink?" Nangong Yue squatted aside, holding her cheeks with her hands, looking at the container in a curious daze.
Song Che said: "You can also say that, but I don't take garlic wine, but squeeze allicin from garlic, which has a strong killing ...... You don't know what to kill, anyway, garlic is powerful, and it's even okay,"
He lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Use it against vampires!" ”
"Suck ...... Bloodsucker! Nangong Yue's delicate body was shocked, "I've only heard of vampire bats, and I've never heard of vampires!" ”
"What is that vampire? Why is it afraid of garlic? Tell us a little bit about it. Lu Jingxiang was full of curiosity.
Anyway, it will take a certain amount of time for the garlic to degrade, so Song Che asked them to move to a small bench, tell stories and jokes, and kill time by the way.
“…… Yes? It turns out that these foreign zombies are afraid of the smell of garlic, I thought they were so powerful, they couldn't compare to our native zombies. ”
"Off topic, off topic, hey...... Allicin emerged. ”
After nearly an hour of waiting, there was obvious stratification in the container, and the layer of pale yellow liquid floating on the surface was allicin.
Song Che separated it little by little with a spoon, put it into a small jar, and then sent it to the king's bedchamber.
King Apdu sat at the head of the bed, his complexion visibly recovering considerably, and it seemed that the antibiotics had worked.
"Mr. Song, if you can cure my illness, I will meet all your requests......"
It is enough to have this sentence.
Song Che sat down on the edge of the bed and washed his hands with alcohol, "There may be a sting, Your Majesty, you need to be patient." ”
Apdu gritted his teeth and nodded.
Song Che soaked some allicin in cotton and carefully applied it to the wound, the hot stinging pain made Apdu grasp the sheets:
"Mr. Song, what kind of medicine did you give me, why does it hurt in my heart?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, pain is a good thing, it means that your skin and flesh are not necrotic, and the situation is not too bad."
Xu was psychologically comforted, and Apdu also relaxed a lot, and after the allicin was smeared, Song Che handed the jar to the accompanying imperial doctor and advised:
"Remember, apply it every two hours, if the wound is no longer red and swollen and pus tonight, it means that this medicine is effective, the wound will heal slowly, eat more ginger and garlic, beef, mutton and fish in your diet, remember not to cover the wound, let it keep it ventilated."
The king needed to rest, Song Che didn't bother much, and left the palace after explaining.
That night, they were arranged in the royal palace and entertained as state guests.
The next morning, when the sky was bright, Ah Yigu came and knocked on the door.
Song Che went to open the door with apprehension, he admitted that there was an element of gambling in treating the king, and the bet was right to form an alliance with Gaochangguo, but if the bet was wrong, the matter would be yellow nine times out of ten.
"Mr. Song! King He ...... He...... He ...... "Ah Yigu was so excited that he spoke incoherently:
"He's all right!"
Harm!
Song Che breathed a long sigh of relief.
When he came to the palace again, King Apdu had left the bed, and he sat back in a chair with all kinds of big fish and meat in front of him, and ate quite merrily.
There is a rough saying in the countryside: if a person can plane two bowls of rice for every meal, he will basically not get any serious illness.
"Oh, my savior, Mr. Song, please take a seat!" When Apdu saw Song Che coming to the door, he immediately invited him warmly.
Song Che glanced at the king's leg on the chair, and the original red and swollen wound had obviously disappeared, and he happily sat down at the same table.
"Mr. Song, I promised you yesterday that if you can cure my illness, I will meet any request you make...... Of course, our Gaochang is only a small country, and we can only do it. Apdu said with a smile.
Song Che didn't sell it, took out the document and handed it to Apdu, and said bluntly: "I can't hide it from Your Majesty, Song Mou's visit to Gaochang as a businessman this time was with the will of Emperor Daliang. ”
"Oh?" Apdu took the document with both hands, waved his hand slightly, and all the servants accompanying him stepped back and closed the door.
Only then did he open the paperwork, glanced at it quickly, his eyes immediately became respectful, and he said to his chest: "Please forgive me for my inconvenience in my legs and feet, and I can't salute the noble Liang envoy." ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be polite, I came to your country this time for only one thing," Song Che said bluntly:
"The Hu people's regime is becoming more and more stable, and the ambitions are becoming more and more huge, and my Liang Dynasty has received news that after they control the Hexi Corridor, the next step will be to annex the Western Regions, and at that time all the countries in the Western Regions will be ruled by the Hu people;
His Majesty should know that the Hu are a slave regime, and if they annex the Western Regions, you will all be their slaves;
Therefore, Song walked thousands of miles, crossed mountains, crossed deserts, and came to the Western Regions through wind and frost, in order to unite the countries of the Western Regions, and together with Daliang, he attacked the Hu people from east to west and drove them out of the Hexi Corridor! ”
Apdu pondered for a moment and said:
"Although the Hu people did not directly attack our country, they asked our country to pay tribute to us every year for beauties and jewels, and they were far less respectful of us than the Great Liang, and as a king, I felt very ashamed to talk about it;
Mr. Song wants to unite with the Western Regions to cut down Hu, I praise it very much, but Gaochang is only a small country of 100,000 people, and the cavalry is only 20,000, we can't be it, and we are not qualified to be the leader! ”
It has to be that the young monarch is more bloody and better communicative.
Song Che waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty don't worry, before visiting you, I have reached an agreement with the kings of Hui and Dadan, as long as several major powers in the Western Regions are willing to unite, they will all use their strength to help the Great Liang Dynasty to defeat Hu." ”
"Good!"
Apdu raised his glass: "In order to thank Mr. Song for saving his life, I, Gao Changguo, agree to form an alliance with Daliang!" ”
"Hey." Song Che took Apdu's wine glass, changed a cup of tea and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile: "Remember to remember, before the injury heals, you must not drink alcohol, otherwise all the treatment will be wasted." ”
He poured himself a cup of tea, laughed and drank with the king, so, lobbied Gaochang, and it was a complete success!
