After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chapter 345 Scurvy

"What does he eat three meals a day?" Chen Xiuyan looked at the woman and asked.

"Yes, it's normal, but in order to let him eat smoothly, I will boil the coarse grains into a paste." The woman replied.

"How long has it been since you gave your child fresh vegetables and fruits?"

"There are not many people here who can afford fresh vegetables, let alone fruits." The woman exclaimed, "It's considered meat if you have a bite of meat."

"Shizi concubine sees what is wrong with this child?" Fu Yuyong asked with some doubts, he didn't understand why he asked about eating vegetables and fruits.

"It should be scurvy." Chen Xiuyan replied, the disease is very typical, and according to the geographical location of the Tatar country, and the fact that the Fuyu tribe has no arable land, vegetables and fruits here are more expensive than meat, so many people probably seldom eat them. .

"Scurvy?" Fu Yuyong heard about this disease for the first time, "Isn't it weakness?"

"Fatigue is just one of the manifestations of scurvy." Chen Xiuyan explained, "If you don't eat vegetables and fruits for a long time, you lack..."

Chen Xiuyan was about to talk about vitamin C, but thought that there was no such saying in ancient times, so she stopped and changed the topic, "Lack of this kind of nutrition, so it is easy to cause scurvy. The main manifestation of scurvy is that the patient will feel tired, and the whole body Fatigue, mental weakness, pale complexion, swollen and bleeding gums, pain in the joints and muscles of the body, and if the child is serious, it may cause pseudoparalysis of the lower limbs."

The expression on Fu Yuyong's face changed, because children in many places in the Tatar country suffered from weakness, and eventually their legs could not walk, as if they were paralyzed, so what kind of "scurvy" is this disease?
"Concubine Shizi, is there a cure?" Fu Yuyong asked anxiously.

"You can just eat more vegetables and fruits." Chen Xiuyan said, "But in order to make the child see results quickly, I have medicine here, take it for a few days, and then as long as you pay attention to your diet, you will be cured."

Chen Xiuyan didn't bring a medicine box, but Chu Wenqian asked Qian Dongliang to bring it half a quarter of an hour later.

Chen Xiuyan directly took out vitamin C from the medicine box, actually in the space, and took chewable tablets, which are suitable for children to eat as candy. "It is specially made as a medicine similar to candy, especially suitable for children."

Chen Xiuyan directly fed the pills into the child's mouth.

"Mother, sweet." The child lying on the bed showed a weak smile, which was particularly healing for Chen Xiuyan and the group.

Chen Xiuyan wrapped a few more in oiled paper, "One a day is enough, and it will be effective in two days. If you want to avoid this disease, you must pay attention to your diet. No matter how difficult it is, you still have to guarantee fresh vegetables."

"Well, it's okay like this?" The woman was surprised and hesitated. The other party didn't prescribe any medicine, and when Fu Yuyong said it was weakness, she actually gave up a little bit in her heart. Looking at Chen Xiuyan's appearance now, she seemed to be This disease is not a serious one, and she couldn't react for a while, because she knew that many people in Tatar had died of this disease over the years.

"Scurvy is only caused by the lack of a nutrient involved in vegetables and fruits. As long as this nutrient is supplemented, it will recover. Anyway, we have to stay in the Buyeo tribe for a few days. You will know after seeing the child's condition in a few days." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.

"Ah, yes, yes, thank you, Shi Zifei, thank you Shi Zifei." The woman hurriedly saluted and thanked her.

It was almost time for lunch, and Chen Xiuyan and her group left the patient's house and went directly to the big tent where they had meals. On the way, Fuyu hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak. It was useless to ask too many questions, and people didn't care He directly told himself all the treatment methods, whether it is successful or not, it will be clear after seeing the child's recovery in a few days.

"The imperial concubine knows a lot." Fu Yuyong could only praise, "If this method can be implemented, it will be of great help to our Tatar country. I don't know the medicine that the imperial concubine used to cure scurvy , can you give us the prescription?"

"That's actually not a medicine." Chen Xiuyan said truthfully, "The effect is the same as eating fresh vegetables and fruits. Of course, the most important reason is that I didn't make the medicine, and I can't provide a prescription."

To tell the truth, Chen Xiuyan glanced at Fu Yuyong's face and knew that he didn't believe it, so it's fine if he doesn't believe it, anyway, that's it.

"Shizi Concubine, Ah Yong, how are you back?" Fuyu Kangping asked hurriedly.

"The concubine Shizi has superb medical skills and has extensive knowledge. She recognized that it was not weakness, but scurvy. As long as she ate more fruits and vegetables, she could be cured. Moreover, the concubine Shizi even prescribed medicine, and it will be effective in a few days." Fu Yuyong answered truthfully.

"Is it better to eat more fruits and vegetables?" Fuyu Kangping repeated in a daze.

"Yeah." Chen Xiuyan nodded, "It's the lack of some nutrients in vegetables and fruits that causes this situation, it's not a big problem."

"Ah, oh, good, good." Fuyu Kangping didn't react so quickly on his face, but his heart had turned around several times, and he was about to speak again, but Chen Xiuyan didn't give him a chance.

"Chu and Tatar have a friendly relationship now, and my niece is the future fifth prince concubine of Tatar. This treatment will be explained to the King of Tatar when we arrive in Selya, and we will publicize it throughout the country of Tatar. , I think it can completely solve this disease, and it can be regarded as one of our congratulatory gifts." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.

King Taiping immediately nodded in affirmation, "This congratulatory gift is very meaningful, and the concubine of King Jin is righteous."

Fuyu Kangping half-opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. He said everything he had to say, and it was exactly what he wanted to express. Of course, the person who reported it was just changed, but the method is his own. What's his position? say no.

Early the next morning, the woman came to the big tent yesterday to search for someone. She said that the child's energy was much better, and his appetite was bigger than before. Yesterday and today, she followed Chen Xiuyan's instructions to the child. The vegetable porridge was boiled, but she went to Daji to buy fresh vegetables yesterday, and spent a lot of briquettes at home.

The purpose of the woman's visit was very simple, she hoped that Chen Xiuyan and the others could go and have a look. After all, she was not a doctor, so she didn't know if she felt right.

"Leader, let me go with this sister-in-law to have a look, the imperial concubine hasn't come yet, let the imperial concubine visit after two days when the child's condition improves." Fu Yuyong said.

"Alright, Ayong, then you should work harder."

In the days of the Fuyu tribe, Chen Xiuyan just wandered around, and occasionally rode Tafei to race horses around, and then checked the recovery of the child with scurvy. The child was able to get out of bed on the third day, although he had not recovered yet. To the same extent as before, but much better.

Chen Xiuyan's reputation spread throughout the tribe, which moved the seriously ill family members.
