Chapter 317 Home Recipe: Braised mustard greens

"Strange disease!"

Fan Zheng was suddenly startled and immediately asked nervously: "Didn't the doctors send elite doctors to go to sea this time? How could we still contract the disease?"

There are many people going to sea this time, so it is inevitable that some people will get sick. The Imperial Medical Office has also sent doctors on board to follow the ship to solve the problem of people getting sick at sea.

In addition, doctors' theories on the causes of various diseases have now matured. As long as you pay attention to prevention, most diseases can be eliminated. How can you still contract strange diseases?

The little eunuch who sent the message frowned and said, "We have strictly followed the doctor's instructions and proactively kept clean and hygienic, but we didn't expect that a strange disease would still occur?"

Nowadays, doctors are at the height of their power, and their credibility is extremely high. In addition, they are alone overseas and lack medical treatment and medicine. It is best not to get sick. Naturally, they take the doctors' warnings to prevent diseases to heart. Unexpectedly, problems still arise.

When Tong Guan saw a strange disease appearing at sea, he immediately sent someone to inform Fan Zheng. If the cause of the strange disease could not be solved, he would inevitably suffer from this disease when he went to sea in the future. His plan to go to sea countries would be ruined. Greatly frustrated.

"Has this disease ever been contagious?" Fan Zheng asked.

The little eunuch who sent the message shook his head and said: "For the information, Fan Taicheng, this disease is not contagious, but it has been reported in all ships, causing a lot of panic among the ships."

A group of maritime merchants went to sea to make money. Now they have finally escaped natural disasters. Under the protection of the Song Navy, they have escaped man-made disasters, but they did not expect that they have not escaped the epidemic. If they have life to make money but not life to spend, then naturally no one will want to Another adventure at sea.

"It's okay if you're not infected?" Fan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no infection, it means that it is only an individual illness. Even if the ship lands, it will not cause a large-scale infection among the people of the Song Dynasty. In this way, the tragedy of Ma Yuan bringing back the smallpox virus from the Western Regions can be avoided.

"Where is the patient now?" Fan Zheng asked.

As long as it is not an epidemic, it can be treated with confidence.

The little eunuch who sent the message reported: "The slave set off first, and then Eunuch Tong escorted the patient to Kaifeng day and night. It will take at most two days to arrive.

If the cause of the strange disease is not understood, the entire overseas mission will be panicked. The newly emerging great navigation industry will receive a blow. You must know that opening up the Maritime Silk Road will be Tong Guan's greatest achievement, and Tong Guan will naturally not tolerate it. .

After the accompanying doctor confirmed that he was not contagious, Tong Guan immediately rushed to Kaifeng City with the patient. Famous doctors gathered here. It was the place where the medical skills of the Song Dynasty were the highest and the place most likely to cure strange diseases.

Two days later, outside the east gate of Kaifeng City!

A crowd of doctors gathered!
Imperial doctor Ling Qian Yi, evil doctor Fan Zheng, genius doctor Yang Jie, forensic doctor Su Dun, female doctor Zhang Youniang, and even veterinarian Pang Jizu were all waiting there, all coming for the strange disease at sea.

"coming!"

Suddenly, a weak horse neighed, and the keen Pang Jizu suddenly raised his head and said.

Everyone looked around and saw a motorcade speeding along the official road towards the east gate of Kaifeng. The leader was the dusty Tong Guan.

"Qian Taiyi's order, Fan Taicheng!"

When Tong Guan saw Qian Yi and Fan Zheng both there, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got off his horse.

"No need to be polite, where is the patient?" Qian Yi asked impatiently.

"It's in the carriage behind!" Tong Guan pointed to the carriage driveway behind.

Qian Yi waved his hand, and a group of doctors stepped forward to take over the patient.

"Eunuch Tong has worked hard all the way. Now that the patient has been handed over to the doctors, they will definitely find out the cause of the disease." Fan Zhengdao.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Fan!"

Tong Guan Gongshou said, his body relaxed and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he was supported by the little eunuch on the side. In order to find out the strange disease as soon as possible, he worked day and night. Even though he was tall and strong, after running around for a long time, his body I can’t stand it either.

..............................

"What kind of disease is this!"

In the carriage, when a group of heavily armed doctors saw the patient, everyone exclaimed.

When Fan Zheng heard this, he immediately stepped forward to check on the patient's condition. He couldn't help being shocked when he saw that the patient's body was covered in ulcers and his condition was very critical.

"Take it back to the Imperial Medical Office and do a blood test immediately!" Fan Zheng said with solemn eyes.

With the advent of glass, microscopes have made significant progress, and many difficult and complicated diseases have begun to use blood tests to check their condition.
Of course, blood testing, which was extremely common in later generations, is now the most advanced method of medical treatment.

The doctors frowned and immediately pulled the patient into the Imperial Medical Office.

Inside the Imperial Medical Office.

A group of doctors gathered together and looked at the patient's blood condition under the microscope with serious expressions. Yang Jie frowned and said, "The patient's blood has become necrotic."

"Blood necrosis!"

Qian Yi exclaimed.

This kind of situation is not unknown in the Song Dynasty, but it occurs in patients who are extremely weak and may be in critical condition. However, it will never appear in a strong, healthy sailor.

"This is impossible?" Other doctors also frowned. According to common sense, scurvy usually occurs with other serious illnesses, and it cannot appear for no reason, including healthy crew members.

"Necrosis of blood? Could it be sepsis?" Fan Zheng's eyes narrowed and he suddenly thought of a disease that would kill countless sailors in later generations.

"septicemia?"

All the doctors were suddenly shocked and turned their attention to Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng covered up: "About this disease, Fan once heard that on the ships of the previous dynasty, many sailors would suffer from this disease after wandering at sea for a long time, and this disease appeared on overseas mission ships. I thought this disease The cause of the disease is on the ship."

"Could it be caused by seasickness?" Su Dun guessed.

The sea is very rough, and even sailors who often experience rough seas will inevitably get seasick. Long-term seasickness may lead to physical weakness.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "No, if you have just boarded the ship, some people may get seasick. However, after two months of sailing, everyone has adapted to seasickness. Even those who are seriously unwell will follow the ship back to Korea. Crews heading to Fuso should not have these issues.”

All the doctors frowned. With this, the speculation about seasickness was ruled out.

Fan Zheng reminded: "In addition to trauma, sepsis is also an internal infection. The disease enters through the mouth. If we can find the difference between sailors and crews at sea and on land, we may be able to find the cause of the strange disease."

"What's the difference between sea and land?" All the doctors nodded. After careful comparison of life at sea and on the road, they finally pinned the culprit on vegetables. "Is the lack of green vegetables the cause of the disease?" Su Dun asked with a look of disbelief.

"Why not? In the past, the people in the world lacked meat, and most of them suffered from night blindness. But now, although the sea is deserted, a large amount of water has been stored in advance, and the water is boiled for drinking. There is no problem. There are many fish in the sea. There is no shortage of meat, and a lot of food has been prepared in advance. The most lacking thing is probably vegetables." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Yang Jie nodded and said: "It's okay if you don't eat vegetables for a day. If you don't eat vegetables for a long time, your body may not be able to handle it. Although this method is just a guess, you can still give it a try."

"From now on, let the patient take plenty of vegetables and fruits." Fan Zheng immediately ordered.

At that moment, a doctor immediately found fresh vegetables and fruits for the patient to take.

"But even though we have found the cause of the disease, now the patient is in critical condition, how should we treat him?" Qian Yi frowned.

Suddenly, everyone in the medical family fell into silence and once again found themselves in a difficult situation.

Although doctors have made great advances in medical skills, they understand that all causes of disease are alive, and they have advanced instruments such as microscopes, they are still helpless when it comes to septicemia where the cause of the disease is spread throughout the blood.

"If it is a traumatic injury, alcohol alone can be used for disinfection, and surgery is enough to treat it. However, now that the sources of disease have spread throughout the blood, according to the theory that the sources of disease are alive, even blood transfusion therapy cannot treat sepsis." Yang Jie said helplessly. .

Qian Yi also said helplessly: "For the current plan, we can only resign ourselves to fate, maybe add fresh vegetables and fruits, and the patient can use his own immunity to carry it through."

Since Fan Zheng invented cowpox in Luoyang, the concept of immunity has been widely accepted by doctors.

Su Dun frowned and sighed: "The human body has immunity that can eliminate the sources of diseases. If there is a medicine that can replace immunity and eliminate the sources of diseases, what a miracle medicine it would be."

All the doctors couldn't help but sigh. What Su Dun said was indeed wonderful, but it was just wishful thinking. If doctors had such a miracle medicine, they would have become prosperous long ago.

Fan Zheng was moved in his heart and said: "Maybe there is a folk remedy that you can try."

"Home remedies!"

The doctors couldn't help but twitch their mouths. The evil doctor Fan Zheng thought it was a folk remedy. You can imagine how evil this prescription is.

Su Dun was very interested and said, "I wonder what kind of folk remedy Brother Fan mentioned?"

He knew Fan Zheng very well. Although Fan Zheng's evil methods were evil, he would definitely not tell them if he was not certain.

"Chen mustard stew!" Fan Zheng said word by word.

"Old mustard braised with mustard greens!"

The doctors couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Fan Zheng in surprise.

Mustard greens and the others knew that mustard greens were quite common in the Song Dynasty and were usually pickled into pickles. Moreover, pickles were the most common dish eaten by sailors. They were actually a good medicine for treating septicemia in sailors. Such a coincidence was simply incredible.

Fan Zheng explained: "Mustard greens clear the lungs, relieve phlegm, and open up the stomach. They are widely eaten as the main ingredient of pickles among the people. There is a folk recipe. In autumn, a large amount of mustard greens are placed in a vat and allowed to dry in the sun and dew at night. The mustard greens become moldy and grow green moldy hairs up to three to four inches long. The jar is then sealed and buried in the soil. It will take ten years before the jar can be opened for use. At this time, the mustard greens in the jar have undergone a long period of time. , has completely turned into water, and even the long mold has disappeared, this is mustard marinade!"

"

Qian Yi frowned and thought hard: "I seem to have heard of this folk prescription, which is specially designed to treat high fever symptoms, such as lung wind, phlegm and asthma in children, and tuberculosis in adults. However, it is not in line with medical theory and has not been adopted by doctors!"

For Chinese medicine, folk remedies are also very special. You may say it can cure diseases, but you are not sure. You may say it cannot cure diseases, but there are successful examples. There are indeed successful examples of mustard stew, but more importantly Many examples are failures.

Qian Yi was a master of pediatrics and had heard of this folk remedy for treating Xiao Er's lung wind, phlegm and asthma. However, this prescription was a folk remedy and extremely difficult to swallow. Qian Yi did not pay attention to this folk remedy.

Fan Zheng pointed at the sailor patient with sepsis and said: "Chen mustard stew is specially used to treat high fever, and the symptoms of high fever are caused by the entry of wind evil into the body, that is, the invasion of the body by various pathogens. In the same way, lung diseases are also caused by the invasion of the lungs by various pathogens. The pathologies of the two are similar."

"Perhaps you can give it a try!" Yang Jie nodded slowly.

If ordinary doctors wanted to use this folk prescription to treat the disease, they would definitely be questioned by everyone. However, Fan Zheng has always been famous for his evil prescriptions, and they are all helpless to treat septicemia. For now, they can only give Fan Zheng's folk prescription a try. .

"Okay!" All the doctors nodded.

Nowadays, doctors have spread all over the Song Dynasty and are extremely powerful. Following Fan Zheng's order, ten years old mustard stew was quickly found.

"Is this mustard marinade?" A group of doctors looked at the jar of brine in front of them and questioned.

An old man vowed: "I dare not deceive all the miracle doctors. This is the old mustard stew, a unique skill passed down from my family. Many patients have improved after taking the old mustard stew."

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "If your mustard stew is really effective, the doctors will not hesitate to reward you!"

"Thank you Fan Taicheng!" The old man suddenly smiled and said.

At that moment, Fan Zheng immediately asked the patient to take mustard stew.

The stewed mustard greens tastes extremely salty and bitter, and is extremely difficult to swallow. In order to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medicine, sugar cannot be added. Fortunately, the patient is an adult sailor, and out of the desire to survive, he drinks the mustard greens stewed in large gulps.

Of course, if you want to cure sepsis, doctors can't just rely on mustard stew. They also take traditional anti-inflammatory and sterilizing decoctions.

Under the busy treatment of the doctors, the seriously ill sailor miraculously began to improve after one night, his body temperature began to drop, and his pulse became stable.

"It actually works!" Yang Jie said in disbelief.

Septicemia is generally extremely difficult to cure. Once it develops, it is almost impossible to survive. But this time, Fan Zheng's evil recipe once again created a miracle and was able to make sepsis better.

Fan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether it was the first application of mustard stew, the predecessor of penicillin, that had great efficacy, or whether it was the mustard stew that suppressed the various sources of disease that infected sailors.

"Send this recipe to Dengzhou and ask him to give the patient a large amount of green vegetables and fruits, as well as mustard stew and Chinese medicine decoction for treatment." Fan Zheng ordered.

"Yes!" A doctor immediately went to deliver the order.

"Old mustard braised with mustard greens!"

All the doctors looked at the old mustard stew in front of them in disbelief. No one thought that this kind of folk remedy could have such a miraculous effect, and could actually cure stubborn diseases that doctors of all ages had been unable to do anything about.

Fan Zheng took a deep breath and said: "Card mustard stew is just a folk remedy, not a real medicine. Fan believes that doctors should focus on studying mustard stew. From mustard greens, to pickling, to making mustard stew, all steps cannot be missed. , we must find drugs that can kill the sources of disease in the human body!"

Qian Yi nodded with deep approval and said: "Once doctors have mastered such a magical medicine, what other difficult and complicated diseases in the world can stump doctors?"

All the doctors were filled with pride and looked at the mustard in front of them with hot eyes.

All doctors know that whoever finds the recipe for mustard stew will be remembered in medical history and become a famous doctor.
