The Epic Revenge Chapter 481: Charcoal in the snow
Gu Qingzhou used lard and willow bark in the kitchen, and slowly boiled it with water to boil the willow bark.
Since the late Jin Dynasty, Chinese medicine has used lard to boil willow bark to treat burns.
Scalding not only damages the skin and flesh, but also causes heat toxins to enter the viscera and damage to body fluids, thereby degrading the self-defense function.
Lard has the function of detoxification, while willow bark can reduce fever and swelling, both of which are aimed at the heat toxicity of scalded surfaces.
Gu Qingzhou knew that there were many burn ointments later, all of which were very effective, but her master insisted on boiling willow bark with lard.
Master said: "The more simple something is, the more effective it is, and it has not been abandoned after years of experience. It is not fancy, it is not more expensive and complicated than one's own medicine. Practicing medicine is like using a soldier, it is more important than the essence. More."
The simple lard and willow bark ointment invented in the Later Jin Dynasty has continued to this day, and Gu Qingzhou still uses it.
She seems to be boiling the ointment with light clouds and wind, but her heart is in the storm.
"Angong Niuhuang Pill is the best medicine for reducing fever. Generally, pharmacies don't know the prescription, but natural bezoar and rhino horn are extremely expensive. Yuecheng definitely can't buy it, so he has to make his own. However, natural bezoar can be bought. Are you there?" Gu Qingzhou was anxious.
She thought about the medicinal materials: "Western medicine works better, but unfortunately it is always in short supply because there is no pharmaceutical factory in Yuecheng."
On this point, Gu Qingzhou wants Simu to come forward and ask Yuecheng City Hall to discuss whether it is possible to improve the western medicine business.
"....Slightly high fever without medicine, it will never go away. If the fever persists, the burns may bleed heavily tomorrow. Once the bleeding is severe, the 50% chance of survival will become 20%!" Gu Qingzhou thought again.
These things are circling in her heart a little bit.
Too agitated, making her look expressionless.
The cooks didn't know what she was going to do, and they didn't dare to get close.
Boil the bark in lard, this is definitely not for eating, but what is it doing?
The cooks often use lard, and willow bark is also seen on a daily basis. I never thought it could be used as a medicine.
"Young madam, young madam!" In the hall not far away, there was the anxious but happy voice of the adjutant.
Gu Qingzhou was overjoyed.
This is good news!
"Young Madam, Madam Yan is here," the adjutant said.
Gu Qingzhou called the cook and said to her: "Continue to add water until the willow bark is boiled, then filter the bark residue, and let the adjutant immediately send the ointment to the hospital and give it to the shopkeeper He. , let her put it on He Wei. Do you understand?"
This trivial matter, a few simple words, the cook still remembered, and immediately said: "Young madam, don't worry, I remember it all."
At the same time, I thought, "This is sent to the hospital, what can I do?"
The cook's doubts were not revealed, and An Jing took over the work from Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou just came from the kitchen, holding a big umbrella, the wind and rain swayed and wet her clothes.
Mrs. Yan was wearing a raincoat, her face was full of rain, and she was holding a small box in her hand.
"I heard people say that you sent your adjutants to look for natural bezoar and rhino horns everywhere. There are no such things now, unless they are ancestral. When I got married, there were some medicinal herbs in the family. The gold is much more expensive, so my mother gave me two taels each, do you think I can use it?" Mrs. Yan handed the thing to her.
Gu Qingzhou was overjoyed and hurriedly took it over: "Mum Mu, I thank you for He Wei, you saved her life!"
Again, "Enough!"
"He Wei?" Mrs. Yan was stunned, "What happened to her?"
The adjutant went looking for medicinal herbs, but he didn't know what they were used for.
Mrs. Yan didn't know either.
Gu Qingzhou told her the matter.
Mrs. Yan was also taken aback: "It's really pitiful!"
He urged Gu Qingzhou, "then go quickly, don't delay!"
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
I don't have any medicines in my house, but He's Herbs House has it.
Getting the most precious bezoar and rhino horn, Gu Qingzhou immediately started to prepare Angong Bezoar Pills.
She brought several adjutants by her side and sent two more to stay in the hospital.
"Call once in half an hour to ask about He Wei's situation." Gu Qingzhou said to the adjutant beside him.
The lieutenant said yes.
Gu Qingzhou has to wait to prepare the medicine, so he comes out once an hour.
"Ms. He has a fever of forty degrees."
"The burn has not subsided, and the burnt surface is seeping yellow water."
Another hour passed.
"Young madam, the medicine you made was delivered to the hospital, but Dr. Wang refused to use it and almost smashed the jar, saying that the ointment was too dirty and unsanitary, and would kill Miss He."
Dr. Wang's name is Wang Qi, a student of Dr. Ai, who is also He Wei's doctor.
Dr. Ai has to rest at night. He can't stay up late because he is too old. Wang Qi will be in charge of ward rounds.
"Shopkeeper He almost got into a fight with Dr. Wang."
"Huo Longtou was present, and he asked Dr. Wang to go away. He asked our adjutant how to use the medicine, and he applied it to Miss He."
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
Looking at the time, it's already ten o'clock in the evening.
Gu Qingzhou's An Gong Niuhuang Pill can be cured in more than an hour.
So, she prescribed another prescription and handed it to the adjutant: "Let the young man take the medicine and decoct the medicine. Don't break the fire of the medicine stove. When I'm busy, I can pack it up, and it can't be too cold when I send it to the hospital. "
If the medicinal soup is too cold, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The adjutant looked at the eye prescription and wrote a long list of what: Dendrobium chuanxiong, Jiaoshanzhi, Xianchaogen, Coptis...
It was too late to look down. The adjutant took the prescription and went to give it to the boy.
Everyone is in a hurry.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Gu Qingzhou finally succeeded in making two Angong Bezoar Pills.
As Dr. Ai said, the doctors in Huaxia know that Angong Niuhuang Pill is a secret formula, which is not available in ordinary pharmacies, and the effect of artificial bezoar is not very good, so the most natural bezoar must be used.
However, the natural bezoar is expensive and has no market, and it all depends on luck.
"He Wei has good luck!" Gu Qingzhou said to herself, "She went through such hardships before going abroad, and she will be blessed in the future."
It's ready, carefully packaged, Gu Qingzhou brought the medicine, the adjutants also packed the boiled medicinal soup in a big jar, and wrapped the outer layer with cotton cloth to prevent the medicinal soup from cooling.
Driving to the hospital.
On the road, it was still violent and rainy, and many trees were scraped off, blocking the road.
The car was in all dangers, so I got to the hospital.
At this time, it was already early morning.
He Mengde and his wife sat on the chair next to him, and Huo Yue sat on the head of He Wei's bed and kept holding her hand.
He Wei woke up three times halfway through, each time with a heart-piercing pain, and then fell into a coma due to the pain.
"Qingzhou." Huo Yue raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Qingzhou, his voice was hoarse.
He watched He Wei for five hours without taking a sip of water. Even the strongest person shows a bit of exhaustion that cannot be concealed.
"How?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
