Chapter 11 Assembly
Yanzhou City said that it was not small, and it was not big. Soon, the story of a young doctor who went to the slaughterhouse to buy hundreds of pig eyes spread in the chatter of the market.
People in Weizhou never eat pig eyeballs, and I have never heard of anyone paying money to collect them—this in itself is a strange thing with a gimmick, not to mention that the doctor also claimed that pig eyeballs would be used to make medicine to treat Chengnan Mujian. More than 100 of the company's sick army horses.
"If you go back to Langjun, the front door and courtyard door of the security hall are closed, and you can't see what's going on inside. But Li Ang goes out every morning, takes his medicine box, rides a borrowed horse, and goes to the shepherd's office. Secretary, go home in half an hour."
In the backyard of the Jifutang pharmacy, the clerk Yu Liu was reporting to Yu Miaoshui, "As of yesterday, it has been the fourth day."
"Well"
Yu Miaoshui frowned. He had already regarded the Baoantang as his pocket, and he didn't want to see unexpected changes at all. "What's in his medicine box? Did you find out?"
"No, every time Li Risheng goes to the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry, he will ask people to lock the stables so that no one else can see them."
Yu Liu hesitated for a while, and replied: "I heard from the shepherd in the supervisory department that the temper of those sick horses has improved a lot, and their eyes seem not to be as red as before."
Yu Miaoshui heard the words, her slightly dark face became more gloomy, looking like the bottom of a pot, "huh."
"Lang Jun, what shall we do?"
Yu Liudao: "Yesterday, Li Risheng announced that he would be outside the gate of the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry today, and Yu Chenzheng would start at the right time to heal all the more than 100 army horses.
At that time, many people in the city will watch it, and even the limelight of the Cuju competition will be overwhelmed.
If he really gets things done, the supervisor will give him a reward of 100 guan. "
"If you get rid of the one hundred guan, don't you still have fifty guan? Why panic?"
Yu Miaoshui yelled at the servants, but she also felt a little uncertain in her heart.
He is a doctor himself, and he knows how important reputation is to a doctor.
If Li Ang really healed hundreds of military horses at once, would he still worry about Baoan Tang having no customers in the future?
铛—铛—铛—
Bronze bells resounded throughout the city, and it was time for Chenzheng (8 o'clock in the morning).
"Prepare the horse, I want to see what tricks that kid has."
Yu Miaoshui patted the armrest of the wooden chair and stood up. At the same time, many idlers in the city of Weizhou also walked towards the direction of the supervisor in the south of the city.
Some were holding birdcages, some were holding snacks, and some even dragged their families along to watch the excitement.
——
"Master, are you really all right?"
In the security hall, Chai Cuiqiao anxiously helped Li Ang adjust his collar.
"It's fine."
Li Ang patted Chai Cuiqiao's head with a smile, squatted down, and inspected the objects in the wooden box again.
Fine crushed ice cubes covering the bottom of the box;
Ten airtight containers the size of soju bottles;
Two bottles of pure wine;
and eleven copper syringes.
These eleven syringes were ordered by him and Wang Yamen at the blacksmith shop that day.
The needle barrel of the syringe is made of copper, and the hollow needle is made of softer silver with a small amount of copper. When making it, first put a solid tin needle inside, and burn it with a flame to melt the tin with a lower melting point to obtain a hollow needle.
Although it looks extremely simple and rough compared to modern syringes, it is still usable, but it is a little more expensive—the cost of making each needle is the same, and only 11 of them are usable after making 17 needles.
After getting ready, Li Ang raised his hand with a smile, gently squeezed Chai Cuiqiao's worried face, carried the wooden box on his back, and walked towards the wooden door of the backyard.
Squeak.
"Let's go."
Li Ang didn't take it seriously, locked the wooden door, got on his horse, and headed south.
——
"Where's the person? It's already a quarter of an hour past Chenzheng, why haven't you come yet? Could it be that you are playing with us?"
"Hey, there are so many military horses, this head, this coat color, it's really spectacular."
"Piro, cherry, pear, apple, piro."
"Aye, I want to eat Biro."
On the street where Chengnan Supervisor of Animal Husbandry is located, there are many citizens of Jizhou crowded, bustling with people, like a market.
More than 20 government servants holding water and fire sticks stood in front of the crowd, blocking the citizens,
Behind the yamen servants, there are more than a hundred sick army horses—all the army horses are tied under the courtyard wall of the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry, their eyes are covered with blindfolds, and their ears are plugged with cotton **** to prevent them from panicking and losing control due to the noise of people. .
"It's coming, it's finally here."
"That's the doctor? Why are you so young?"
Amidst the uproar, Li Ang rode a horse, followed behind the Wang Yamen, passed through the crowd, and dismounted in front of the gate of the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry.
Supervisor Xun Mu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Li Ang's face, he asked softly, "Doctor Li, what you want is ready. Today, how sure are you?"
"Xun Mujian, haven't you seen the results in the past few days? I'm doing things, please rest assured."
Li Ang smiled slightly. For the past four days, he has come to the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry every day to wash the conjunctival sac of the sick army horse with the normal saline prepared by himself, and the symptoms of conjunctivitis and keratitis have been relieved.
If it weren’t for this, Supervisor Xun Mu couldn’t have agreed to allow him to treat more than a hundred army horses at a time in the downtown area.
Without talking any more nonsense, Li Ang directly opened the wooden box, took out the pure wine bottle from inside, and handed it to Wang Yamen.
"Also please Wang Yamen, pour me some pure wine and wash my hands."
Under the suspicious eyes of the onlookers, Li Ang carefully washed his hands with alcohol, then picked up the syringe, and drew some transparent liquid from the porcelain bottle.
"呲—"
Li Ang pointed the syringe towards the sky, squeezed the syringe, and pushed out excess air and some liquid medicine.
Seeing the horrific-shaped syringe, there was a slight exclamation from the crowd, but what was even more astonishing was that Li Ang walked slowly towards a military horse holding the syringe.
"Please also support the horse's head, and pull the blindfold a little bit."
Li Ang gently asked the two government servants to support the army horse's head, and then took a step forward. Before everyone could react, a needle was inserted into the corner of the army horse's eye socket, and he pushed the syringe slowly and steadily.
"ah!"
"Hiss!"
"Hey!"
The sharp needle was inserted into the edge of the eye socket of the army horse, and all the onlookers exclaimed in empathy, and some parents even reached out and covered the eyes of the children in their arms.
Li Ang didn't make a sound in the unexpected world, and took out the syringe in time after pushing it and backed away.
"The first horse, done."
He breathed a sigh of relief, put the syringe into the pure wine prepared in advance by the supervisor, washed it with pure wine first, and then put it in an iron pot to steam and sterilize it with steam.
"Then, the second horse."
Li Ang took out a new syringe, extracted the solution from the porcelain bottle, and walked slowly towards the ignorant second army horse.
Porcelain bottle contains the only eye drops in this era.
Extracted from pig eyeball tissue fluid, eye drops.
