Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

"Hi!" Sixth Aunt shouted, scaring Su Bai, who was in a state of confusion.

"What are you thinking about?"

In addition to the second wife, Su Bai was also thinking about another thing. After transferring most of the Kong family's wealth to Kong Chen, the profits of several branches of the business were known to Kong Dai and Accountant Sun besides himself. From whom did the third concubine and the others know about it?

It shouldn’t be Kong Dai.

That was the accountant, Mr. Sun. Su Bai had told him that accounting issues should not be told to anyone.

Mr. Sun, who looked honest and like a student of corruption, also became disobedient and told the gross profit of the business to his concubines?

Then who in the Confucius Mansion is worthy of trust?

……

After repeated purification, Su Bai's first batch of penicillin and streptomycin is finally ready for final packaging.

In the 21st century, penicillin is packaged in vials, and streptomycin was also packaged in vials before it was banned.

In fact, early penicillin was also packaged in penicillin bottles, which is also the origin of the name of penicillin bottle.

Su Bai's penicillin and streptomycin can only be packaged in ampoules, or ampoules for short. It's not that it's difficult to package vials, but that Su Bai only has ampoule sealing and filling equipment.

"We've been working on this for nearly twenty days, and this is all we came up with?" Zi Yan was obviously disappointed with the final result.

Although the finished product of penicillin was not as good as expected, overall, Su Bai was very satisfied with the first batch of products.

I weighed it on a scale and found 85 grams of penicillin and 410 grams of streptomycin.

Zi Yan had a sharp eyesight. Before Su Bai used a scale to weigh the two powders, she had already determined that the two powders together weighed less than one pound. Not to mention other materials, hundreds of buckets of water alone were used. If the soil in Niujia Village was not backfilled, the pit dug would be big enough to bury several people.

"What do you know? This thing cannot be bought with money. It is as precious as gold."

Zi Yan's mind suddenly opened up: "Madam, this... isn't alchemy?" But she immediately denied her guess. Gold powder is also golden yellow, and this is white, so they are obviously not the same thing.

"Stop talking and come help!" The master and servant officially began to seal.

Su Bai spent several nights pondering over the amount to be filled in each bottle before deciding. The dosage in modern medicine is measured in international units, which is a unit of antibiotic potency. Different drugs have different coefficients for converting mass into international units.

The mass of streptomycin converted into international units was an integer, and Su Bai remembered it very clearly: one gram was equal to 100 million units.

I don't remember the exact amount of penicillin, but 160 million units converted into weight is probably less than one gram.

Su Bai decided that each vial of streptomycin should be filled with 0.5 grams, or 50 units.

Each vial of penicillin contains 0.25 grams, or 40 units. Since Su Bai does not remember the conversion ratio accurately, the actual value must be greater than 40 units.

It is very convenient to look up these numbers before traveling through time. Since no one takes the trouble to remember them, who would have thought that they would be used?

People of this era, or more accurately, bacteria of this era, have no resistance to antibiotics, so penicillin became a veritable miracle drug as soon as it came out.

The same goes for other antibiotics.

In this way, Su Bai can produce 340 bottles of more than 40 units of penicillin and 820 bottles of 50 units of streptomycin.

Su Bai smiled happily. If converted into sticks, this number already made him very satisfied.

However, after a careful calculation, it seems not much. Take the treatment of Zi Yan's parents as an example. Each person needs two injections a day, one injection each time, which means four injections of streptomycin a day, and 120 injections a month. Tuberculosis is a disease with a long treatment course. Based on two months, the couple alone will need 240 injections. These 820 injections can't save many people.

I dare not calculate further. If I do, I will feel that these medicines cannot withstand use.

There were only filled ampoules, with neither packaging boxes nor labels. In order to distinguish them, Su Bai cut paper into small pieces of 2 cm in size to make identification labels and pasted them on the ampoules. Su Bai wrote and Zi Yan pasted them. The label for penicillin was number 1 and that for streptomycin was number 2.

It didn't seem like a tiring job, but by the time the two of them finished they were covered in sweat.

The last time when Liu Yiyan was treated, he took cotton from Zi Yan's quilt. This torn quilt was put to use again. He took out the cotton from inside and put the medicine into a big box layer by layer of cotton and ampoule.

"Come, I will teach you how to give an injection." Su Bai specially made several empty ampoules, and told Zi Yan in detail how to open the ampoules correctly, to disinfect, inject saline solution to dissolve the medicine, extract the medicine, and complete the injection... He also asked her to actually do it twice before he felt at ease.

"Your parents' illness depends on you. I have Gao Hu watching over them, so it's not convenient for me to go." Su Bai picked up a tube of streptomycin: "One tube at a time, twice a day, for a month at first."

"Is this medicine for my parents to cure their illnesses?" Zi Yan hugged Su Bai excitedly.

"Please wear your mask and come back after getting the shot. Don't stay there. If you have anything to say, wait until they recover!"

After Su Bai asked Zi Yan to give injections to her parents, she went to the second company to see how Yuan Yuze was recovering. Today was already the third day after the operation, and he should be able to get out of bed and move around properly.

After Zi Yan left, Su Bai couldn't help but take out the ampoules marked No. 1 and No. 2 from the box and fiddled with them for a long time.

After all, these are his first batch of products, and will also be the foundation for Su Bai to truly stand on his own in this chaotic world.

Penicillin only appeared in the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was mainly used by the Allied forces. The quantity entering China was extremely small and the price was extremely expensive.

It is true that penicillin is as expensive as gold in movies and TV dramas, but the description that penicillin can be stolen in Japanese military hospitals is fabricated. The Japanese army started using penicillin later than the Allies and in smaller quantities.

Selling the produced medicines is also a problem, and Su Bai believes that he has no business acumen.

Anyway, I will start fermenting a new batch of bacteria tomorrow, and I have to order some medicine boxes and labels at the same time.

Zi Yan didn't come back until Su Bai finished dinner. She was in a hurry and even fell on the steps at the door.

"Madam, it's bad, my brother is dying!"

"What's wrong? Speak slower."

According to the health worker, Yuan Yuze's temperature was a little high starting this morning, and it became serious in the afternoon.

"Infected." Su Bai said.

"Yes, that's what the medical officer said. Captain Zhou has already ridden his motorcycle to the hospital to pick up Doctor Chen. He should be back soon!"

"There is no better way than to bring Doctor Chen over. Let's go." Su Bai asked Zi Yan to return to the basement to get 10 bottles of medicine marked No. 1.

"We have to hurry. If Doctor Chen gets ahead of us, your brother's leg won't be saved!"

"why?"

"Hurry up!" Su Bai didn't have time to explain to Zi Yan.

Guo Deyi was asked to harness the carriage, and this time Su Bai took the initiative to call Gao Hu to drive.

By the way, he said to him, "If I go out in the car without you, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with me, and you don't have a horse."

“Young Madam…” Gao Hu’s facial features were distorted: “It’s so hard for me!”

"Hurry up, Second Company!"

When we arrived at the second company, we saw the three-wheeled motorcycle parked outside the temporary ward. Doctor Chen had already arrived.

Su Bai jumped off the carriage and rushed into the ward. He saw Doctor Chen disinfecting a hand saw.

“No amputation!”

When Doctor Chen saw that it was Su Bai, he immediately became angry and said, "Kick her out!"
