[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

Qiqige took a breath.

Here, Suo'etu's family was demoted, and Mingzhu's eldest son, Xingde, was promoted to governor of Guangdong...

Nalan Xingde was originally a first-class bodyguard and envoy of Luanyi, but he was a second-rank military officer, and the transferred governor of Guangdong was a second-rank civilian foreign official.

Don't look at it as a half-class, but in fact it is an explicit and secret mention. When Nalan Xingde returns to the capital from outside, he may be able to directly enter the sixth department, starting with the servant, and then enter the South Study Room and even become a bachelor. It's just a matter of time.

Qiqige smacked her lips.

She shook her head again and again: "The emperor is really generous, pour oil into the bottle one by one." I'm afraid that Nalan Mingzhu won't make a fuss?

Yinti shook his head: "Khan Ama is a talented person."

Yinfeng agreed and nodded: "That's right, Rongruo is different from Nalan Mingzhu. Instead of getting implicated later, it's better to go outside early, stay for a few more years to accumulate some credit, and then you can return to Beijing smoothly."

Qiqige was taken aback for a moment, then woke up again.

She suddenly realized: "Since this is the case... Maybe the emperor is going to take action against Nalan Pearl?"

Yinfeng smiled and said, "Maybe."

Maybe something?Qiqige looked at Yinreng, who was gradually approaching Kangxi and became a little riddle man, and wrinkled her nose.

Qiqige is not sure what kind of chess Kangxi is playing, and she is too lazy to think about it.It’s another spring day, and the most important thing is to take the kindergarten children out for an outing, farming, and feeling the atmosphere of the farmhouse. As for the rest, what does it have to do with me, an ordinary empress dowager?

Looking back on her 20 years in the palace, Qiqige felt that she was too motivated and worked too hard, and she would have to be a salted fish in the future!

Oh... wait.

Qiqige thought about the penicillin that she had been thinking about halfway, and hesitated a little.

Why don't you wait for the research to come out and be a salted fish?

Qiqige made the decision, and happily gave her plan a thumbs up.

Speaking of penicillin, you have to mention the microscope.

When it comes to microscopes, one has to talk about the Tai Hospital. In this matter, Qiqige must give the Tai Hospital a thumbs up.The Tai Hospital publicly announced the discovery of bacteria and microorganisms. As for how to cause diseases...of course there is no conclusion, but at least it shows the effect of cleaning and sanitation.

In the past, the common people came to clean in a daze.

Although the imperial hospital and even the imperial court tried their best to promote cleanliness, it was difficult to be effective, and only a few people responded.

But now looking at the microbes swimming under the microscope, many wealthy businessmen and people with a little bit of culture gradually began to change, and at the same time made demands on the shopkeepers in shops, restaurants and other places. interest, which in turn led to sales of soap and other items.

Secondly, Tai Hospital recognized the legitimacy of female doctors for the first time, and included female doctors into the official system.That is to say, the current female doctors all have grades, salaries and benefits, have been promoted from guerrilla militias to regular soldiers, and are also the first batch of female officials in the true sense.Although the highest is limited to the sixth grade, but the meaning of it makes Qiqige can't help but be happy.

Today, more than a hundred kinds of microorganisms and germs that are invisible to the naked eye have been discovered, and the speed is so fast that Qi Qige can't help but exclaim.

Of course, the problem is that the magnification of the microscope is difficult to increase, and the detection objects of later generations have not yet been invented. It is very difficult to obtain pure colonies. Most of the time, various bacteria alternate together.The same problem arises with mold, trying to find and extract the correct penicillin from it...

Just thinking about it makes Qiqige's brain overheat.

Qiqige has a headache looking at the messy album, how to tell the difference?There are a series of division methods in later generations, and now let alone gentian violet and the like, there is not even iodine iodophor now?Speaking of this, Qiqige was slightly taken aback, thinking about the possibility of making iodine.

Iodine, as the name suggests, requires iodine.

Iodine can be extracted from seaweed, which is not available, but there is also kelp.After burning the kelp to ashes, soak it in water to form a suspension of kelp ash, then filter it, and then add dilute sulfuric acid... There is also sulfuric acid, which is now called green scorpion, and you can get it if you want it.

The problem is after that...

Qiqige scratched her head for a while, and didn't think about how to extract the iodine from the iodine next, but simply recorded what she remembered on the draft and put it aside for the time being.

What else can be extracted better than penicillin, and has more antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects?Qiqige put her hands on her chest, feeling extremely distressed for a while.

From morning to night.

Qiqige vaguely remembered something, and then forgot it all at once.It wasn't until she took many children on a spring outing, built a stove by the stream, and turned over ingredients such as kebabs, chicken wings, eggplants, etc., that she suddenly pointed at the garlic sauce and said ah.

Concubine Hui was taken aback.

Qiqige murmured: "Why did you forget this?"

If penicillin has to be found by luck, then another thing can be said to be everywhere.

That is: allicin.

Qiqige couldn't wait to rush back to the Forbidden City, and started to get busy in a hurry.

Garlic is also used a lot these days.

It is recorded in medical art that smashing it into juice and drinking it can be used to treat vomiting and heartache, as well as dysentery, abdominal pain, diarrhea and even cholera.

Same as later studies.

Allicin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which has significant bactericidal effect against most cocci, pertussis, dysentery, typhoid, Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and it also has inhibitory effect on fungal infections. ①

And allicin is not only found in garlic, but also in onions.Although the food in the palace is not much, but the output is quite a lot. I heard that the empress dowager wants to use garlic and onions, so the imperial dining room just sent it quickly...a small basket.

Qiqige looked at the few ones, and couldn't help showing a disgusted expression.At most a few milligrams can be extracted from a piece of garlic. What's the use of this?She asked casually, "Why so little?"

The steward sneered: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager... this garlic smells a bit harsh, and the masters in the palace dare not use it too much."

The masters didn't dare to use it, and the palace people didn't even have the guts to do so.The empress dowager and the concubines may be the ones who use it the most, and even the empress dowagers don't like to use it very much.

Qiqige was slightly taken aback: "Ah..."

She chuckled lightly: "Actually, if garlic and Ringo are used together, there won't be much smell in the mouth. Aijia will tell them about it next time."

But the most important thing right now is experimentation.

First, mash the garlic and onion into mud—this step made everyone in the Compassion Ning Palace burst into tears, dizzy, and wished they could just plunge into the basin and pass out.

Then just use the distiller you used before, or you can use the salt bath method, and then add alcohol to distill and refine, and finally get a light yellow oil.

It looks like garlic oil.

Qiqige took this thing and rushed to the imperial hospital again, took out the glass vessel boiled in a steamer as a container, and then took some unknown bacteria and put it in the vessel, and at the same time dripped a little garlic to extract it. At the same time, she also took some bacteria and put them in other containers as a control.

The imperial doctors stared blankly.

Qiqige came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and told the imperial doctors to keep it safe until she came to check it tomorrow.

As soon as the empress dowager left, a group of imperial doctors rushed forward.They looked at each other, hesitating: "What did the empress dowager do?"

"Cultivated some bacteria?"

"I saw something was added to it."

"What was added?"

"Looks like... essential oil?"

Everyone looked at the neatly wrapped utensils, and with the words of the empress dowager that it would take a few days to open, there was no way for them to scratch their ears and cheeks.

Everyone waited until the next day.

When Qiqige came again, she found that the room was full of people, looking at her with eyes eager for knowledge.

Qiqige: ………

She opened the box expressionlessly, and then looked at the two glassware she was comparing.

The container on one side already had colonies visible to the naked eye, while the other...

Several imperial doctors gasped in unison.

They opened their eyes wide, looking in disbelief at the empty container with almost no bacteria: "This is..."

"Didn't you say yesterday that you saw bacteria all over?"

"And what essential oil?"

"I really saw it, wait and see!" The imperial doctor leaned forward, with a little excitement on his face: "The yellow liquid inside is still there!"

The imperial doctors became more and more commotion.

It's just that they still can't believe that the little essential oil can prevent bacteria from multiplying?What kind of fetish is this?

The corners of Qiqige's mouth twitched.

Looking at the imperial doctors who were about to go into a state of frenzy, she quickly explained: "This is not a fetish, it's just garlic extract..."

"garlic!?"

"Garlic can also make essential oils...?"

"That's right, garlic can cure food stagnation, cold and pain in the abdomen, edema and fullness, diarrhea and dysentery, carbuncles and sores, and even eliminate wind evil and poisonous gas." Another imperial doctor stroked his beard and talked about garlic in the book The record in: "It is reasonable that it can be used to kill bacteria."

Excitement flashed in everyone's eyes.

They looked at Qiqige eagerly, and Qiqige honestly handed over the prescription in her hand after a chill: "It's quite simple to do."

The routine of essential oil aromatherapy has been used in the palace for 20 years.

Soon Qiqige heard that the Tai Hospital wrote a request to add garlic, onions and green onions, and proposed various methods to increase the extraction rate.

After learning that allicin can sterilize and reduce inflammation, the imperial doctors also began to think about other things.There are so many traditional Chinese medicines, are there others that have similar functions to allicin?For a while, many imperial physicians were involved in this research, and the already tight manpower was even more scarce.

Not to mention the fact that the female doctor was already in use, the Tai Hospital even recruited apprentices, gathering a large number of young people and children in a short period of time.

Of course there is one more thing.

Death row prisoners from the capital, Zhili, and even further afield were transported to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.Just like testing vaccination technology back then, they will also join the experiment, and at the same time get a good fee, either to subsidize their families, or to compensate the victims.

Qiqige is not clear about these.

After getting allicin and thinking about how to make penicillin, she first received good news.

Kangxi was going to inspect the river.

In short, Qiqige can see Longxi who has been away for many years.

Qiqige was stunned for a moment, then ecstatically.

She hurriedly asked someone to invite Concubine Niu Colu, and the two of them were so happy that they held hands.
