Chapter 5 Extraction of Penicillin
Judging from Wang Yonghai's reaction attitude, he shouldn't know what Wang Kang did the day before, and he doesn't know how he got to the Tang Palace, and why he came to trouble them for no reason.
So Sun Ming decided to take the initiative to mention him.
Before Wang Yonghai completely turned his face, a smile appeared on his face and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, Wang Kangke swore in the palace this morning that he has a way to deal with the county lord's illness, and it just so happens that I can't do it now, so why don't I ask Mr. Xu to find Wang Shao again?" ”
Hearing Sun Ming's words, Wang Yonghai subconsciously reacted to something in his heart, but he didn't know what was going on.
It's just a vague feeling that Sun Ming's visit to the palace and the coming to the door are all related to Wang Kang.
So he suppressed his anger and asked, "Then I don't know what we are going to do, Sun Dashao, you can have a way?" ”
"Didn't you say just now, the medicinal materials I reported were for the county lord's treatment, and you didn't have them."
Sun Ming gave Wang Yonghai a "Aren't you still on the road?" The eyes seemed to be smiling.
Seeing this, Wang Yonghai knew that he couldn't hide from this, so he had to grit his teeth and stomp his feet: "Okay, but the medicinal materials you want are really hard to find, and it will take some time for us to get them together, so ...... from somewhere else."
"Three days is too short, and it will take at least half a month!"
"Those two days."
"Sun Dashao! It will take at least 10 days! ”
Wang Yonghai was so angry with Sun Ming that his blood surged, but he could only hold back.
However, Sun Ming ignored him, but turned his face to Xu Jin and said: "Mr. Xu, ten days, I can wait, but I can't guarantee that the county lord can wait, why don't we go back and ask the prince first, see if the prince agrees to let the county lord wait for another ten days." ”
"No, shopkeeper Wang, please send the medicinal materials to the palace in three days."
Xu Jin didn't talk nonsense, and directly finalized it with a cold face.
In fact, from the very beginning, he could see that Sun Ming made a special trip to Jichun Hall to buy medicine for the county lord's treatment at all, or to trouble the Wang family.
Although he can't fully know the reason inside, he can also speculate that it is not far from ten.
Originally, like Sun Ming, who was pulling the skin of the palace to erect a big banner and pulling him to support the scene, Xu Jin was very dissatisfied in his heart, and he definitely would not let it succeed.
But thinking of Sun Ming's identity and the fact that he was really likely to be able to cure the county lord, he couldn't bear it.
Even, he pushed the boat down the river, which can be regarded as selling Sun Ming's favor and standing down for him.
Who is Xu Jin?
The general of the Terracotta Division of Nanyang Mansion, the military attache of the imperial court is the seventh grade.
Although he is only a subordinate guard in the palace, it is an unattainable existence for a mere lowly businessman.
Not to mention that they were asked to hand over their things within three days, even if Jichun Hall was confiscated on the spot, there was no problem at all, and it was a big deal to casually charge the Wang family with a crime afterwards.
Could it be that in Nanyang Mansion, there are still people who can lift the sky of the palace?
Although Wang Yonghai was extremely reluctant, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and promised to come down first, and then go to Wang Kang to ask what was going on.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Sun Ming was satisfied, so he continued: "You can find those medicinal herb king shopkeepers slowly, and there are still some things, take them to me now." ”
"Mulberry leaves, gypsum, licorice, ejiao, ......"
I reported the names of all the drugs in one go, and this time it was really used to treat pneumonia.
This recipe is called "Dry and Lung Saving Soup", which came from the hand of Yu Chang, a famous doctor in the early Qing Dynasty, and people did not know it at this time.
However, the medicinal materials are simple, and Wang Yonghai didn't work hard for a while, so he grasped the detailed dosage according to Sun Mingbao and handed it to Sun Ming.
After taking the medicine, he naturally wanted to go back to the palace, and before leaving, Sun Ming did not forget to remind Wang Yonghai to hurry up and prepare the things he asked for earlier.
After leaving Jichun Hall, Xu Jin opened his mouth and asked, "Sun Gongzi, this medicine should be a real cure, right?" ”
"Naturally, send the general back to the palace immediately to boil, and give it to the county lord three times a day in the morning and evening, which can alleviate the county lord's condition."
Sun Ming nodded and said.
"Relief? I want to remind Gongzi that what the prince means is to ask Gongzi to cure the county lord! ”
Hearing Sun Ming's words, Xu Jin's face sank, and his tone became a little cold.
He thought that he had helped Sun Ming stand on the stage and get angry, and Sun Ming should always know the current affairs and treat the county lord with his heart.
Unexpectedly, the prescription that came out in the end was only to alleviate the condition, which made Xu Jin feel that he had been tricked by Sun Ming, and his mood was naturally not good.
Hearing this, Sun Ming smiled and said: "Xu Jiang is always relieved, since I promised the prince, I will definitely do my best to treat the county lord." ”
"Even if it's not for the county lord, I have to think about myself."
Xu Jin's eyes narrowed, and then he said, "I hope that Sun Gongzi will do it himself." ”
After finishing speaking, he took the medicine back to the palace first.
Zhu Xiuyun's condition is getting worse and worse, and it has become more and more serious in recent days, although the medicine that Sun Ming grabbed can only alleviate it, not cure it radically, but it is better than nothing.
As for Qiu Wanli, he didn't follow, he still had to stay around Sun Ming, to protect him, and of course to prevent him from running away.
Sun Ming didn't care.
Traditional Chinese medicine is still too slow to treat acute pneumonia.
Zhu Xiuyun has been infected for some time, if it weren't for the medicine prescribed by Lang Zhong that the palace had invited her to hang up, I am afraid she would have been terminally ill.
It is obviously not possible to continue gradually, but only to use immediate results, that is, to use antibiotics.
But there are no antibiotics in this era, so only Sun Ming has figured out a way by himself, and he has already thought of this way.
The best thing to treat acute pneumonia is penicillin, and the reason why Wang Yonghai was only given three days is also for this reason.
Because Sun Ming wants to use these three days to cultivate and refine penicillin, and when the time comes, he will get it out and use it for Zhu Xiuyun, and the condition will be solved immediately.
However, it is not easy to cultivate and refine penicillin, mainly because the medical conditions in this era are too poor.
There is not even the most basic petri dish, and you have to find something else to replace it, and the same is true for the equipment needed for refining.
After wandering around the city of Nanyang Mansion for most of the day, he still couldn't find the best one, so Sun Ming had to find some suitable items to replace them as much as possible, and then returned to Sun Mansion with these things.
The next step is to grow penicillium and extract penicillin.
This process takes time, and there is no hurry, so Sun Ming asked the descendants of the Sun family to find a bunch of moldy and spoiled food first.
Remove Penicillium from it and place it in a Petri dish with the medium solution and cover with a damp cloth.
In order to avoid the failure rate being too high and not being able to extract them in the end, he prepared more than a dozen petri dishes at a time, and it was almost evening when he finished them all, and the rest was only left to time.
