Defeat natural disasters with farming

Ye Yu's latest source of news is Dr. Chen, who gives him his pulse every day. From him, he learned that there are not many people infected with smallpox in the village, only a dozen or so. According to the order of the acne, Dr. Chen found the first one. The person who had smallpox was Shen Fu's son, Shen Qingyu.

At this time Ye Yu suddenly realized that the two of them lived in the same cave back then, and were still very close to each other. Both of them had weak immunity, and it was normal for them to be infected.

Other than that, Chu Xufeng is fine, he has had smallpox once before, and he won't get it again.

After the temperature on his body finally dropped, Ye Yu was finally able to lift his spirits a little. He carefully looked at the rash on his arm. It was a red spot, and it didn't look hideous now. It looked like red on snow on his fair skin. Mei is average, but he knows that when the acne breaks out, these rashes will turn into pustules. At that time, the pustules will be raised around, sunken in the center, and the pustules will be cloudy, which will become very ugly.

Even if the ugliness was not mentioned, the itching caused by the pustule was unbearable. Ye Yu felt that he might not be able to bear it when the time came. He had already started to think about whether to tie himself up with a rope or not.

Thinking of this, Ye Yu put down his sleeves, showing a pensive look. He thought of the vaccinia vaccine. If vaccinia can be found, it will not only cure the disease without medicine, but also greatly reduce the probability of death .

Ye Yu remembered that if a person is infected with vaccinia virus, it will only cause mild discomfort and is not fatal. After recovery, the human body can produce antibodies on its own, and vaccinia virus has the same antigen as smallpox virus. Antibodies can resist vaccinia virus, so can also against smallpox virus.

Even though the vaccinia vaccine cannot be produced now, it can be vaccinated, and the fatality rate will be greatly reduced if vaccinia is used instead of human pox.

So when Dr. Chen came back next time, Ye Yu asked him: "You have stayed in the capital, but have you heard of the method of vaccination?"

With a mask on Dr. Chen's face, he said in a slightly low voice: "I have not only heard it, but also seen it with my own eyes."

He withdrew his hand and began to explain to Ye Yu, "The vaccinating species is human pox. There are four methods that are most used. The first is the acne clothing method. , that is, use a needle to break out the pimples of the pimples, apply cotton to the nostrils of the inoculated person, and the third is the water seedling method, that is, take the scabs and grind them into powder and mix them with clean water, and knead the new cotton into thin sheets , Wrap the acne scab powder and stuff it into the nostrils of the inoculated person, the fourth is the dry seedling method, which is similar to the water seedling method, except that it does not mix with water, and only needs to blow the ground powder into the nostrils with an instrument."

"One and three are the most commonly used methods, but the degree of risk is only slightly lower than natural smallpox infection, so few people propose vaccination."

After all, there is a probability of being infected with smallpox. Some people may never get pox all their lives. Life hangs in the sky.

As for the second and fourth methods, there is no need for Dr. Chen to introduce them. Ye Yu also knows the reason why they are not commonly used. The second method needs to pierce the pimples of the acne patients, which will leave scars. Naturally, the family members of the acne patients do not want it. Four kinds are because the nasal cavity has mucous membranes, and the powder is easily sprayed out, resulting in ineffective vaccination.

Ye Yu thought for a while and asked again: "Besides human pox, have you tried other pox?"

Dr. Chen paused when he heard the prescription, and asked him back in astonishment: "Apart from human pox, what kind of pox are there?"

Ye Yu had something to say at this time, he sat up seriously, and said seriously: "Since there are people who have pox, then maybe they will also have pigpox, or even cowpox. It is dangerous to inoculate human pox, but it does not mean that other pox are also dangerous. Then you might as well plant other pox seeds to try.”

But any individual can see that there will be more and more villagers in their village in the future, and corresponding various infectious diseases may also sweep in. Among them, the most notable one is smallpox, which is common and has a high fatality rate.

Dr. Chen was really stunned this time, he didn't even write the prescription anymore, he murmured: "Why didn't I think of it, pigs... pigs don't seem to be able to do it, but cows can try it."

He was concentrating on thinking about something, Ye Yu didn't interrupt him, but just picked up the prescription and looked at it. The medicinal materials written on it were the most common ones, and yes, even rare medicinal materials were not available in their village.

When Dr. Chen came to his senses, a quarter of an hour had passed, and even Mother Ye came in to take a look.

"I'm fascinated by it," he said hastily, "The cowpox you mentioned is really good."

Ye Yu nodded, "You can try it. The two Doctors Hao have stayed in the village for a long time and have also treated livestock pox. If you have time, you can also ask them."

"Okay." Doctor Chen kept his reminder in mind.

Before he left, he suddenly remembered something, and took out a small clay bottle from the medicine box, "It contains ointment, which relieves itching, and when the pustule starts to itch, just apply a thin layer around it."

Ye Yu took the bottle, and then watched Doctor Chen leave, hoping that he would gain something, if not, it doesn't matter, he can properly remind that cowpox is much safer than human pox,

In fact, there is a reason for Dr. Chen to be so excited. His youngest son died of smallpox at the beginning. He was still an imperial physician at that time. In fact, he planned to vaccinate his youngest son when he was three years old, but he failed because his wife stopped him. As a result, within a year, the smallpox epidemic broke out in the capital. Everyone from the officials to the common people, even the children of the royal family, did not escape. Doctor Chen's youngest son was weak, and it was for this reason that his wife was reluctant to let him go. The child was vaccinated, but also contracted smallpox because of his frailty, and did not survive.

The death of his youngest son was one of the reasons for Dr. Chen to leave the capital. After he resigned as an imperial physician, he brought his wife, who was seriously ill and extremely weak, back to his hometown. After leaving the familiar place, Mrs. Chen gradually recovered.

After thinking about Dr. Chen, Ye Yu was about to drink medicine again. He pinched his nose and drank the dark brown Chinese medicine in the bowl in one gulp. After drinking, he said disgustedly: "I will never get used to the taste of bitter medicine juice."

Mother Ye laughed. She pinched the tip of Ye Yu's nose and said, "Then get well soon, and you won't need to take medicine when you're done."

Ye Yu replied melancholy: "I think so too, but acne is beyond my control."

"Then don't think about it," Ye Mu put away the medicine bowl and asked him, "What do you want to eat at noon?"

"Eat stewed pork rice." Ye Yu thought for a while and said, "I have to pack my rice separately."

Recently, he eats alone, and doesn't even share the tableware with his parents. When washing the tableware after meals, he even uses alcohol to disinfect them. Although it doesn't feel necessary, after all, his parents have antibodies, but Ye Yu is just begging Peace of mind.

"It just so happens that there are pork belly and white rice at home, which is enough."

After washing the medicine bowl, Mother Ye took out a piece of pork belly from the large vat at the door, scalded it and cut it into diced meat. Although it was a bit troublesome to cut it, it could ensure the elasticity of the diced meat and add a bit of deliciousness. .

Immediately afterwards, she brought green vegetables and dried shiitake mushrooms. The shrunken dried shiitake mushrooms were soaked in water and gradually stretched out. Cut the shiitake mushrooms into cubes the size of your little finger.

Do not pour out the water that has washed the shiitake mushrooms, it is still useful to keep them.

After the onion, ginger, and garlic in the pot are fragrant, Ye Mu filters it out and throws it away. This is because the onion, ginger, and garlic are hairy and easy to leave scars.

Put in diced mushrooms and diced meat and start to stir-fry. After the diced meat changes color, you can add seasonings, among which sugar and salt are essential, and then use mushroom water, which is to increase the viscosity of the soup.

Then put a white water egg in, boil on high heat to collect the juice, and the egg will taste delicious when it comes out of the pan.

The thick sauce was poured on the rice, and it smelled full of aroma. In addition to the stewed meat, there were two green vegetables and a stewed egg cut in half on the rice.

When Ye Yu ate, every grain of rice on the plate was covered with stewed meat juice, the juice was thick and fragrant, the diced stewed meat had been boiled out of fat, the fat meat was fat but not greasy, the lean meat was lean but not firewood, the color and fragrance were all good, especially Those two green vegetables were freshly picked from the pot, they were tender and refreshing, and served with marinated eggs, they couldn't stop eating two plates.

"I didn't add much seasoning, I'm afraid it will affect your acne, does it taste a bit bland?" Mother Ye asked.

"It's not light, just right." Ye Yu took another bite. Although the seasoning was light, it just suited his taste. During this period of time, he drank porridge and steamed buns every day, which made him lose his appetite.

Mother Ye breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he ate deliciously. She was really worried that the child ate less in the past two days, and he was still sick.Therefore, even if the stewed pork rice has a strong taste, you have to make it once.

She looked at Ye Yu lovingly, "Eat slowly, don't worry."

Ye Yu nodded and replied, "Okay."

After answering, he continued to bury his head in hard work.

However, what Ye Yu didn't expect was that this was the most sumptuous meal he had in the next period of time.

Because he started to have acne since then, the rash turned into herpes, and the herpes fluid gradually turned into a yellow and filled liquid, and the surrounding redness became more obvious. There is very obvious pain.

Coupled with the sudden increase in body temperature, and the successive adverse symptoms such as nasal congestion and sore throat, he was so uncomfortable that he didn't want to say anything, and even his breathing was hot.

In a daze, he heard Ye Mu's anxious and worried voice, "Doctor Chen, come and take a look."

Doctor Chen comforted Mother Ye while checking the pulse: "Don't worry, Brother Bao, this is normal."

Having said that, the situation of other people is not as serious as his. Even Shen Qingyu, who is also not in good health, has passed the acne period safely. Thinking of this, Dr. Chen's face became a little more serious.

Ye's father and Ye's mother held their breath to watch him check Ye Yu's pulse.

"No problem." Dr. Chen frowned for a long time before he relaxed his expression, "Brother Bao is weak, and the relatively mild symptoms of other people's symptoms will appear a bit serious to him. Now he is having acne. After this Three or four days will be fine."

Father Ye frowned and asked, "Is there a way to alleviate it?"

Dr. Chen waved his hands and said, "If there is a way, the smallpox epidemic will not be so rampant. The medicine is only an aid, and he has to survive it by himself."

Father Ye was also concerned about chaos, and nodded when he heard this.

Doctor Chen didn't prescribe medicine this time, but he gave another jar of ointment, and told Father Ye and the others to apply the ointment to the red and swollen areas of Ye Yu's body, which would make him feel better.

"Recently eat less meat and fish, if there are fresh fruits and vegetables at home, let him eat more."

Mother Ye kept this in her heart, now in winter, only the vegetables grown on the kang can be called fresh, there are cabbage and green vegetables, and there are a few tomatoes that are about to ripen, these are enough for Shan Yeyu to eat alone of.

After Ye father sent Dr. Chen out of the house, he asked him how the situation in the village was in the yard.

"There are eighteen bloomers in the village, ten of them are young adults in their twenties, four are six-year-old children, and the remaining four are only two or three years old." Dr. Chen stopped at the door, " The most serious situation is that of two or three-year-old children, some of them have never had acne, and Lao Wu and I have to go to see them once a day now."

Father Ye frowned and said, "Is life in danger?"

"Yes." Doctor Chen replied truthfully: "Almost two-thirds of the people are not in good condition, but Brother Bao, although it looks serious, is actually far from life-threatening. As long as you get through the few days of fever safely good."

"Oh," Father Ye sighed deeply, "I just hope that the infection will stop."

"Probably not." Dr. Chen also has a basis for saying this. Nowadays, those who suffer from smallpox in the village are arranged to live alone in houses by the lake, and are taken care of by their family members who have suffered from smallpox. They even eat alone, and The house by the lake is quite far from the place where the villagers gather. If there is no accident, it will be difficult to spread the infection on a large scale.

"I hope so." Father Ye pushed open the door and sent Dr. Chen out.

When he opened the door, he happened to see Chu Xufeng standing at the door.

Can't help but ask suspiciously: "Brother Xu, what is this?"

Chu Xufeng took two steps forward to explain his purpose, "I want to see Ayu."

Father Ye waved his hand when he heard the words: "You can come and see him when he is well. Now he is in a bad condition and he is not suitable for seeing people."

Chu Xufeng's eyebrows exposed outside the mask frowned, "How could this be?"

It was Dr. Chen who answered him. Dr. Chen patted his arm and explained: "Brother Bao is weaker, and his acne reaction will be more severe. It is useless for you to go to see him now, it is better to wait until he is better."

"If you really want to do something, you can help with the affairs of the village."

Chu Xufeng responded thoughtfully, and after saying goodbye to Father Ye, he followed Dr. Chen out.

The wind brought their voices over.

"Ayu, what should I eat now?"

"I need to eat something light. It's winter now, and fresh fruits and vegetables are not available, and this acid rain is falling, and I don't know if the fruits on the mountain can be eaten..."
