Chapter 243: Earth Remedies, Let’s Use Them For Now
What good ideas does Yao Qingnian have now? To solve this epidemic, the most effective way is to develop an epidemic prescription. If the prescription is developed, all problems will be solved.
Now the Imperial Hospital is working brightly all night long to research ways to treat the plague, but this has been a difficult problem since ancient times. No one has yet been able to develop a prescription for the plague that occurred decades ago. Even Han Junze is helpless. It's not that he has no solution, but that ordinary people cannot afford his medicine because the cost is too high.
So he wanted to come to Yao Qingnian to ask if there was any way to save the people from the disaster. Every day, a large number of people died from the epidemic. The charity cemetery outside the city gate was already piled with corpses and wailing was everywhere.
Yao Qingnian also thought that if she developed a prescription using medicinal herbs, the people would simply not be able to wait. She suddenly thought of a folk remedy, which she might try first. If the people used the folk remedy first, she would have enough time to develop a new prescription.
Seeing Yao Qingnian didn't speak, Han Junze thought she had no solution. He sighed and was about to say something, but she spoke first: "I have a solution."
"Master, just tell me what medicinal herbs you want! I'll prepare them right away!" He knew that Yao Qingnian had a way, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"Fulong liver and aged mustard greens stew"
"Master, what is Fulong liver? And this vegetable stew...?"
Han Junze had never heard of such a prescription.
Yao Qingnian had read a medical book that recorded a recipe for Huangtu San (stove heart soil, the medicinal name is Fulonggan) that warmed the spleen and stomach and stopped vomiting and diarrhea. Someone used the stove heart soil and old mustard greens to treat the epidemic, and the epidemic was finally brought under control.
The loess powder contains oxytetracycline, and when mixed with penicillin from the vegetable stew, it becomes an ancient recipe for curing diseases. The antibiotics used by Yao Qingnian are almost the same ingredients, but they are extracted.
"Fulonggan is the stove core soil and earth dragon, also known as Huangtusan, which I saw in ancient books."
"Loess and earthworms can also be used as medicine?" Han Junze widened his eyes.
"Earth dragons are used as medicine in the Compendium of Materia Medica. The loess I mentioned refers to the soil that has been roasted for a long time. Grind them into powder and make soup for consumption, and then add vegetable stew."
"This recipe is amazing! Everyone can heal themselves!"
"Try this method first. I'll study the prescription. Please help me find the herbs."
"it is good!"
Yao Qingnian made a list of necessary medicinal herbs and gave it to Han Junze, asking him to prepare them.
After Han Junze left, Yao Qingnian was about to go into the house to study the prescription when he suddenly heard shouting and cursing outside the door.
"Yao Qingnian, you vicious woman, get out here! Why didn't you save us! You rotten-hearted, short-lived ghost..."
It was Old Mrs. Huang from next door who was yelling and cursing at the door.
Liu Shuyue was about to go out when Yao Qingnian stopped her: "Mom, don't go out. The whole family is sick. Be careful of infection. I'll go take a look."
Yao Qingnian didn't want to pay attention to her, but her scolding was so harsh that she couldn't stand it. She put on a mask, went out, and closed the gate.
I saw Old Mrs. Huang standing weakly at the door and continuing to curse.
"You're so sick, and yet you still don't stop!" Yao Qingnian snorted coldly, not feeling any sympathy for Old Lady Huang at all.
"You saved everyone in the village, so why don't you save us? No matter how much we grudge against each other, we are from the same village. Now the village chief doesn't care whether we live or die. It was you who instigated it." Old Mrs. Huang pushed all the blame onto Yao Qingnian, saying that she did not save him.
"I'm not a doctor. Why do you come to me when you are sick? Are you instigating the village chief? Who do you think you are? Are you worth wasting my time?" She has medicine, but she can't give it to anyone.
"It's you! The quarantined villagers all said that you cured their illnesses!"
"So what if it's me? What does your life or death have to do with me? I won't save you!
The village chief made it clear at the time that people with high fever and discomfort should be quarantined. What were you doing at that time?
That is to say, the villagers stayed at home and did not come out. If they came out, everyone in our village would be infected by your family! Now we can't hide it anymore. Instead of finding a doctor, you ran out to curse in the streets. Who tolerates you! Get out of here. If you come to my house and yell again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Yao Qingnian retorted mercilessly.
"Yao Qingnian! You vicious woman, if you don't cure us, you won't have an easy life either. I'm going to go to the village and infect everyone, and see what you can do!"
"Go ahead! I'd like to watch you walk a few steps here!"
This old lady Huang is really brainless. She wants to threaten her with the people in the village? How ridiculous!
"Mrs. Huang! What bullshit are you talking about! Are you going to infect the entire village? Have you lost your conscience?"
When the village chief received the news and rushed over, he heard her say this.
"If you don't let me live, then we will all die together!" Old Mrs. Huang said excitedly, suddenly spitting out blood, and collapsed to the ground.
"Send her back and don't let them come out!" The people who came with the village chief threw Old Lady Huang back.
When the village chief came over, he was still thinking about asking Doctor Lu to prescribe some medicine for the Huang family to relieve their symptoms. However, after hearing such vicious words, he instantly gave up the idea, threw the people back, and didn't want to care about them anymore, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Thanks to Yao Qingnian's help, no one else in the village became infected except for those who were initially infected.
Not long after, Han Junze brought her the medicinal herbs she needed.
She entered the space laboratory and began to develop a prescription for treating the epidemic.
At Tiancheng Medical Clinic, after trying out Yao Qingnian's folk remedy, they found it worked.
Han Junze reported the news to the court, and the emperor was very pleased. This prescription was not only able to cure the disease, but also had low cost. Loess was available everywhere, and this stewed vegetable was available in almost every village. In this way, all problems were solved. All that was needed was to send people to maintain order and help with the aftermath.
Soon, the folk remedy for treating the epidemic was made public and spread across the south like the wind. The people were all surprised, but when they saw the prescription, they were stunned, and then it caused an uproar.
"Loess and vegetable brine? Can this cure diseases?"
"The government has issued an announcement, it's absolutely true!" If it weren't for the government's announcement, the people would never have dared to believe it.
"You're kidding me! I've never heard that loess can cure diseases!"
"Well, it's better to try it than to wait for death."
"Yeah, the clinic is crowded now, so I have no choice but to give it a try. I won't say more, ahem. I'm going home to make medicine."
"I'll go too!" Immediately, some people followed the instructions on the notice, and some people with milder symptoms really got better after taking the folk remedies...
