There are many glassware placed on the wooden tables.
Qin Yu's method of extracting allicin is steam distillation, so these glassware are needed.
In fact, fresh garlic does not contain allicin. Extracting allicin requires other solutions and conditions to produce and extract it.
Qin Yu stood in front of the wooden table and started the actual operation.
Su Fu, Meng He and other imperial doctors were watching from behind.
The principle of steam distillation is actually very simple. Garlic is distilled to utilize the volatile characteristics of garlic oil, so that the garlic oil is distilled out with the water vapor, and then the water vapor is separated to obtain pure garlic essential oil.
The garlic essential oil obtained at this time contains high-quality allicin.
Then use garlic essential oil to make allicin powder, and finally make allicin anti-inflammatory pills.
This principle and process is actually not difficult. It is much simpler than the cultivation, cultivation, extraction, etc. of penicillin.
But it was easy for Qin Yu to crush allicin by hand.
It is more difficult for these imperial doctors who do not understand distillation at all.
Not all the imperial doctors are here today, only those who will serve in the Medical Research Institute in the future.
It took Qin Yu five full days to teach those imperial doctors.
So at this point, Qin Yu's mission has almost been completed.
Emperor Wei has asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to select a town where garlic will be grown and then purchased by the imperial court for the production of allicin.
Emperor Wei attached great importance to allicin.
Mainly because the Battle of Liangzhou will begin next year.
Emperor Wei hoped that the medical school could stock up on allicin pills to prepare for wartime use.
.......
In the fifth year of Longsheng, December.
Jinling City.
After Qin Yu finished making allicin, he basically entered vacation mode.
Emperor Wei didn't bother him again.
The Three Thousand Battalion is still training in the East Palace. The Ministry of Industry has worked overtime to produce the Mingguang Armor, and it will basically be delivered next year.
Qin Yu had nothing to do, so he either listened to music on the hook every day or danced with the teacher.
East Palace.
Side hall.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan were leaning on the couch.
There is a dancer dancing gracefully in the palace, and she is dancing the court dance of Qi State.
This was Zhao Ruiyuan, the crown prince of Qi State, who sent these sixteen dancers to Qin Yu some time ago.
Qin Yu placed them in the side hall of the East Palace.
Shen Binglan leaned aside and closed her eyes, her sword never leaving her hand.
White Eagle stood aside, on the golden nanmu shelf that Xiao Nan built for it.
"Brother-in-law, don't tell me, Qi's court dance is really good." Xiao Nan tore into the drumstick to replenish energy, staring straight at the dancer in the palace.
Qin Yu glanced at him, "Aren't you going to focus on training today?"
Xiao Nan waved his hand, "As long as Chen Kui is here, I don't need to worry at all."
The two of them were talking.
Deng Bao came hurriedly from outside the palace, "Prince-in-law, shopkeeper Zhang is looking for you in an emergency?"
Qin Yu was stunned and asked doubtfully: "My uncle?"
Deng Bao nodded, "That's right."
Xiao Nan hurriedly sat up and said, "Is this your first time coming to the East Palace, uncle? Please invite uncle in quickly."
Zhang Zhixin is not only the God of Wealth of Qin Yu and the imperial court, but also the God of Wealth of Xiao Nan, otherwise Xiao Nan would not dare to reward him so generously.
"Yes, Your Highness." Deng Bao saluted and then left the side hall.
moment.
Zhang Zhixin was brought in by Deng Bao.
He looked around, dazzled and shocked.
Luxurious decoration, beautiful musicians, beautiful dancers, beautiful maids, delicious food and fine wine.
this......
This is a fucking paradise on earth.
This place should only exist in heaven. How many times can we see it again?
"Uncle." Qin Yu and Xiao Nan stood up.
Zhang Zhixin bowed hurriedly and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have met the Prince Consort."
Xiao Nan waved his hand, "Uncle, we are all family members. Don't be so polite. Sit down quickly and pour some wine for uncle."
He said and pulled Zhang Zhixin over.
Zhang Zhixin gave the two of them a thumbs up, "My nephew, no wonder you don't go home on weekdays. You stay in the East Palace every day. It turns out there is such a magical place. You are really good at it!"
Today he finally understood what enjoyment was.
Qin Yu enjoyed it even more than Emperor Wei. Every day the orioles sang and the swallows danced, and there were wine ponds and meat forests.
Zhang Zhixin finally understood why Qin Yu didn't like fighting for power.
How could the days of fighting for power and gain be so comfortable?
Qin Yu smiled calmly, "Uncle, just come over and play when you have time."
Afterwards, Zhang Zhixin sat aside, drinking the top wine from the Western Regions, eating royal pastries, listening to the beautiful ritual music, and enjoying the Qi court dance.
I don’t know how much Zhang Zhixin enjoyed this feeling.
Isn’t this too damn enjoyable?
After a while, the ceremony and music ended.
Zhang Zhixin looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Do you still have my nephew? This is much better than Jiaofangsi's dance."
Xiao Nan interjected: "Yes, uncle, do you want to see something from the Western Regions, from the barbarian country, from the grassland, from Liba, from the court dance of the Wei Dynasty, or from the folk?"
Zhang Zhixin: "???"
He looked at Xiao Nan with a confused look, what kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
have......
Are there so many types of dance?
Zhang Zhixin asked cautiously: "Are they the same team of dancers?"
"Eh!"
Xiao Nan waved his hand, "Uncle! Aren't you slapping me and my brother-in-law in the face? Are we talking about the same team of dancers? There are at least 300 dancers in our East Palace. They are not from that place. The dance he performed is
It doesn’t have that flavor.”
"Oh my god!"
Zhang Zhixin looked shocked, "Three...more than three hundred people..."
He really didn't expect that Qin Yu and Xiao Nan would really enjoy having so many dancing girls in one side hall.
Xiao Nan looked at Deng Bao who was standing aside, "Go and call the dancing girls from the Western Regions to perform a dance for uncle."
Afterwards, Zhang Zhixin lived a life of dissipation and extravagance in the side hall.
An hour later.
Qin Yu looked at Zhang Zhixin and asked, "Uncle, just now Deng Bao said that you have something urgent to do with me?"
Qin Yu was speechless.
Zhang Zhixin is addicted to watching this. Doesn’t he look a little anxious?
"ah?"
Zhang Zhixin was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said, "Hey! You see, I forgot about the real thing! I'm just enjoying the singing and dancing here."
As he said this, he took out a bronze mirror from his pocket and placed it on the table, "I'm here for this matter. You can think of a solution for us."
Qin Yu was stunned and took the bronze mirror into his hand, "What does this mean?"
Zhang Zhixin said: "Look at this bronze mirror, whether the figures reflected in it are clear or not."
Hear this.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan looked at the bronze mirror.
If Zhang Zhixin hadn't said anything, they really wouldn't have discovered it.
Xiao Nan was a little surprised, "This is the first time I have seen such a clear silhouette of a person in a mirror."
