Chapter 006 Pharmaceuticals

Although Zhao Bing was covered with a face towel, he was almost stung as soon as he entered the bottom cabin. The smell in here was so unpleasant.

?b?i?q u?g

"Your Highness, the medicinal materials are here, please be careful where you step." Hao Yuntong said carefully, holding the lantern high.

"Okay, you lead the way." Zhao Bing nodded and said. He took a few deep breaths and gradually adapted to the smell and light here. He looked back at Ni Liang who was following closely behind him and felt relieved. As Hao Yuntong continued

forward.

Zhao Bing poked around as he walked. The warehouse was packed to the brim, almost like a grocery store. There were foods such as rice, bacon, and dried fish, as well as various gold and silver utensils, medicinal materials, silk and silk.

There were miscellaneous goods of all kinds, of course the most numerous were bags of tea and porcelain, leaving only narrow passages in between, like a maze. He was small and could move freely, but Ni Liang had more difficulty.

Anyone with a discerning eye would immediately understand that this was a cargo ship that had just been loaded with cargo and was ready to sail. It must also be one of the many ships snatched in Quanzhou. In the panic, it was used as a quarantine ship without careful inspection. Otherwise,

How could I be willing to give up such a large amount of belongings? But fortunately, the patients on the ship did not have to worry about their daily necessities and could still get life-saving medicines.

The goods may belong to multiple merchants and be stacked in several areas, which also makes it difficult for them to find them. Everywhere they go, they need to open the packages and check them. After searching several places, they can’t find what they need, but Zhao Bing is not the same.

There was no harvest, Ni Liang already held a bunch of various items he selected in his arms, but there was no medicinal material.

"Your Highness, let's take a look over there again!" Hao Yuntong said. He was a little disappointed and wondered if he was wrong. This prescription was not prescribed by His Highness King Wei at all. But it was helpless. Liu Fu was

One of the first patients to get sick, although he received special care and took the medicine prescribed by Chen Xiang himself, he became increasingly heavy and bedridden. According to Hao Yuntong's experience, he could "enter the sea" in just a few days.

This morning he checked Liu Fu's pulse and found that his condition was greatly relieved. After asking, he found out that His Highness had changed the medicine yesterday, so he came to ask for advice and the whole ship was mobilized to dry the deck. But then

After lunch, Liu Fu's condition worsened. He kept coughing and had thick phlegm stuck in his throat but could not cough it out. This made it difficult to breathe and almost suffocated him to death.

It is said that licorice and other expectorant drugs can be used for treatment, but there are none on the ship. Hao Yuntong can only ask for help from His Highness again, hoping for a miracle. But judging from His Highness's current behavior, it seems that he does not understand medicine at all, otherwise why would he not even use commonly used medicinal materials?

If you don’t know him, you need to keep asking him...

"Yes, this is it." Just when Hao Yuntong was about to give up, he suddenly heard His Highness say, holding a white and shiny thing in his hand, smelling it, and licking it again.

"Your Highness, you are wrong!" Hao Yuntong brought the lantern closer and illuminated it and said, "This is light cinnamon sand and can only be used externally. Purple cinnamon sand should be taken internally."

"Oh, and purple sand?" Zhao Bing actually doesn't know what the thing in his hand is called in this era. In his previous life, it was called ammonium chloride. It can be prepared with electrolyte and has corrosive effects. It is often used as a rust remover.

Another function of using it is to eliminate phlegm, which is also a commonly used Western medicine. Because he often came into contact with it in his previous life, he knew that what he got now was in a natural state, while the ones used at that time were all synthetic.

So when I heard that there was purple sand, I asked with some uncertainty.

"Your Highness, this is it!" With his goal in mind, Hao Yuntong quickly pulled out a purple honeycomb crystal and said.

"Well, no." Zhao Bing took it and smelled it, frowning and said.???

?He also knows this thing, it’s the ‘Purple Salt’ that some swindlers have boasted to great effect. He doesn’t know how many times he’s been ripped off by netizens.

"Your Highness, even if this light sand is used as medicine, it needs to be concocted, otherwise it will be poisonous." Hao Yuntong was shocked when he saw His Highness's indifferent expression, and quickly reminded him. He understood that if he ate a person to death, Your Highness would be safe, and the board would definitely be there.

Spanked on one's own ass.

"I understand, but I don't know how you prepare it?" Zhao Bing found what he needed and asked Ni Liang to fill half the bag. Of course, he knew that Western medicine needs to be purified, and crude drugs collected from traditional Chinese medicine also need to go through various processes.

There is a way to prepare ripe medicine before it can be used, but he is just curious about how the "ancient people" did it.

"Oh, according to the preparation method recorded in "Tang Materia Medica", you need to smash it into small pieces, dissolve it in boiling water, remove the sediment after settling, pour it into a porcelain basin, add vinegar, heat and steam it over water to remove its poison, and you can use it at any time

Remove the white floating frost from the liquid surface and place it on white paper to dry. It can treat dysentery, amenorrhea, eye nebula, polyps, warts, boils, scrofula, carbuncles, malignant sores, diaphragm and regurgitation, etc.

disease."

"Oh, that's right!" Zhao Bing smiled and did not comment. He was not good at chemistry, but he also knew that ammonium chloride would evaporate when heated to a high temperature, and then react with vinegar, and its chemical properties would have already changed.

, the so-called toxicity also disappears, and of course it has no medicinal value.

After finding the things, Zhao Bing immediately commandeered the ship's doctor's pharmacy to prepare medicines. Of course, he expelled all the people. It was not that he was afraid that they would steal the art, but that besides worrying that they would not dare to eat after seeing it, there was another reason. In fact,

His method of purifying ammonium chloride is very simple. He only needs to smash the raw materials, grind them into powder, sieve them, put them into warm water to precipitate them, and then dry the solution to get what you need.

Naturally, there is no need for Zhao Bing to do the physical work. The doctors are gone and Ni Liang is still there, and there is no risk of "leakage". But what is needed after the rough work is a long wait, which cannot be rushed, and

The waiting time was very boring, so he started to visit the pharmacy.

"Your Highness, this is camphor, don't taste it randomly." Seeing Zhao Bing opening the medicine cabinet and looking through it, picking up the medicine and touching and smelling it, Ni Liang quickly reminded him out of fear that he might eat it.

"Oh, do you know medicine?" Zhao Bing raised his head and looked at Ni Liang and said with some surprise.

"Hey, Your Highness, those of us who practice martial arts will inevitably get injured, and we often need to prepare our own medicine to heal our injuries, so we don't know much about it." Ni Liang said with some embarrassment.

"Oh, I see, then what is this?" Zhao Bing suddenly realized that no matter what era martial artists are the best doctors for bruises, didn't Huang Feihong open a medicine shop? After thinking about it, he picked out a few more flavors

When asked about medicinal materials, Ni Liang was able to tell them accurately, which made him even more convinced that the child was just honest in nature, but he was by no means a fool. Once trained, he could be a talented person.

"Your Highness, this is saltpeter, don't touch it." Seeing Zhao Bing reaching out to take it again, Ni Liang quickly stopped him.

"Soil saltpeter?! This can also be used as medicine." Zhao Bing really opened his eyes today. The pharmacy of the ancients can be used as a chemistry laboratory. The raw materials are quite complete. He picked a little with a medicine spoon and put it into the fire, and a flame immediately burst into flames.

, indicating that what he said is good.

"Your Highness, be careful, this may cause a fire." Zhao Bing's move startled Ni Liang, and he stepped forward to pull him away.

"Haha..." Zhao Bing was moved and helpless when he saw this. According to his psychological age, he must be more mature than this young man of eighteen or nineteen, but according to his biological age, he is still a child in his eyes. The relationship between the two is really hard to describe.

Deqing, each other treats each other as children, objects that need to be taken care of, but the relationship is more like that of a blind man and a lame man, whose strengths can complement each other...

"It's done!" After struggling for half an hour, a basin of muddy water finally turned into crystals, Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Your Highness, do you want to send it to Mr. Liu?" Ni Liang looked at the smiling Highness and asked stupidly.

"You... this is not enough, go find some flour." Zhao Bing was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant, shook his head and said, he didn't know what the consequences would be if he ate this food, and he would have to hide it in the future.

alright.

Ni Liang went out to find flour. Zhao Bing saw that the purified cinnamon powder had crystallized and dried, but this time he did not dare to grab it casually like before. This ammonium chloride would be fatal if taken in excess of those herbal medicines. He found the pharmacy

I pondered for a while to figure out how to use the small copper scale inside. I weighed out several portions of ammonium chloride and divided one portion into several portions. I estimated that the weight of a small portion was about one gram before giving up.

After Ni Liang found flour, Zhao Bing wrapped a small amount of ammonium chloride in flour and rolled it into pills the size of corn kernels. After making fifty pills, he stopped and packed up the rest. It was not that he was reluctant to part with it, but

They were worried that the doctor on the ship would learn from Shen Nong She's practice of tasting herbs and end up losing his life.

After everything was settled, Zhao Bing let Hao Yuntong in, who was waiting anxiously, and counted out six pills for him to deliver to Liu Fu, telling him to only take two pills at a time, four hours apart, and not to stop taking the decoction.

Just need to stagger the timing of taking it, and pay attention to your diet - don't add too much salt.

Looking at Hao Yuntong who nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, Zhao Bing felt a little guilty. Everything he did could be said to be crossing the river by feeling the stones. He was still unsure whether it would be effective. Now Liu Fu is like a laboratory.

He is like a guinea pig in a movie, and the consequences are unpredictable. Even if he knows that he has not escaped this disaster in history, but he is involved now, if he still dies according to the script, he will still feel a bit burdened.

That night, Zhao Bing also did not sleep well. In addition to nightmares, he paid attention to the sounds coming to the cabin. He was relieved when he heard no sad sounds until dawn. This meant that Liu Fu was not poisoned to death by him and was still fine.
