"Useful?" Li Yi already knew the answer. It was sent back together with the battle report from the frontlines.
He wanted to hear more about it from Chen Yong.
"We are not local soldiers from the southwest. When the House of Subjugation changed places, we did not go to the southwest. When we went there, we would get malaria if we were bitten by mosquitoes."
When Chen Yong said this, he smiled bitterly. Obviously, the physical fitness of his Feathered Forest Flying Cavalry was still passable.
"That means you didn't use the toilet water. What did you use the toilet water for?" Li Yi directly found the problem in Chen Yong's words.
"I … I saw that the locals were easily bitten and couldn't bear it, so … I gave it to a woman. What's wrong?"
Chen Yong was explaining when he saw Li Yi's special smile, so he admitted it.
"Then you wasted the big honey pills that I worked so hard to make. Do you know that the big honey pills require the medicine to be heated? And … well, it's a waste of honey. "
Li Yi almost blurted out the key to making the Yellow Wormwood Honey Pill.
Li Yi didn't have the ability to use ether to extract the useful substances from the yellow wormwood.
What he used was to wash the wormwood, cut it into pieces, and soak it in cold distilled water.
There wasn't much water, so he soaked most of the useful substances in the wormwood into the water. Then, he used the water and other boiled wormwood powder.
On the other side, he boiled the honey. After boiling, he made the big honey pills with the wormwood.
The main thing was the water of the wormwood. It couldn't be heated.
The other wormwood powder didn't have any treatment effect. The purpose was to make people unable to distinguish the ingredients of the big honey pills.
Because the wormwood was not sterilized at high temperature, even if it was washed clean, the moisture in the wormwood would easily go bad.
A large amount of honey was used to sterilize it. The water used was distilled water.
It could be stored for a long time, about a year.
Otherwise, it couldn't be stored for a month in a place with high humidity and hot weather.
The big honey pills were wrapped in a layer of steamed wax paper and sealed with wax.
The wormwood wasn't expensive, but the honey, processing and packaging weren't cheap.
When the Winged Knights went, they brought a pile for the other soldiers to use.
Some people didn't use the toilet water and got malaria.
The toilet water he brought them contained artemisia, which was a pyrethrum, which could be used against mosquitoes.
Li Yi had given him double insurance, but in the end, he had eaten a lot of honey pills.
Chen Yong chuckled at Li Yi, "Li Dongzhu, the Big Honey Pill is effective. You'll get bumps, diarrhea, and fever. You can eat that."
"Is that so?" Li Yi glared at Chen Yong.
Shen Yong shrunk his neck and looked for a plate to scoop up the dishes and wine.
Even though he drank the mutton soup and ate a jianbing, it was not enough.
Even if he ate five of those huge crepes, he would only be 60% full.
When they were in Zhuangzi, there was a lot of meat, so it was still okay. But on the way back, they were exhausted. They couldn't eat well and kept running around.
Zhou Gang watched from the side. He found that the Winged Knights were afraid of Li Yi.
It wasn't the kind of fear that came from a life and death battle. It was a kind of love and respect, and at the same time, a little fear.
He couldn't figure it out. Li Yi looked like a scholar. What did he have that could make the Winged Knights afraid?
When the Winged Knights were injured on the battlefield, they bit on a wooden stick and had their wounds cleaned with soap and alcohol. Even when they were stitched up, they didn't show such an expression.
Chen Yong came back quickly. The plates were filled with braised pork.
"Battalion Commander Chen, I see that you seem to be … giving in to Li Dongzhu?"
Zhou Gang asked as he thought about it, but he said it tactfully.
"You can say that you're afraid. What do you mean by giving in? I'm afraid. It's not shameful. You'll know when you experience it."
Chen Yong said casually, not caring about what others thought.
Zhou Gang smiled, "That's good. Li Dongzhu said that he might come to our place next year. I said that I would bring him to play. He said that he could bring anyone. I'll learn more."
"Dongzhu said that he would bring you to play?" Chen Yong suddenly shivered. He looked at Li Yi, who was eating with his head lowered, and then stared at Zhou Gang.
Zhou Gang sat up straight. He felt that something was wrong and nodded carefully.
"Okay, it's good to bring you to play. Let's drink. We're not in charge today. Just drink. Don't get drunk."
Chen Yong's mood suddenly became better. It could be seen from his expression.
Zhou Gang felt that something was wrong, "What's the story?"
"It's like this …"
"Ahem!" Li Yi coughed. He probably didn't eat well.
"It's like this. Dongzhu is rich, and he knows how to make fun things." Chen Yong quickly changed the topic.
Zhou Gang was even more certain that there was a problem.
He thought of the medicine that Li Yi and Chen Yong had mentioned when they were talking. He turned his head and asked Li Yi, "Li Dongzhu, are you selling that big honey pill?"
"Yes. We'll wait for the Tubo and Turks to come and sell it in a few days. How can one not be worth one? I made it with mugwort. "
Li Yi finally raised his head and emphasized mugwort. Now, many people felt that mugwort could cure all diseases.
In fact, mugwort was useless for malaria. The Chinese saying behind the elbow was to hold the artemisia, soak it in water, and drink it.
Artemisia was a general term. The artemisia he found happened to be yellow artemisia. Soak it in water and drink it, and it was effective. If he changed it to other artemisia, he would drink it for free.
He collected a large number of artemisia for the purpose of making others unable to guess.
Even if he made the big honey pill, there was a hidden scheme.
This was the thing he wanted to trick the foreigners who bought a large number of newspapers. He took it out and asked them if they wanted to buy it. There was a lot of malaria in your country.
Who would have thought that Tubo would come over to steal the technology? He saved the money and could trick them again.
"I can't afford to buy a single artemisia."
Zhou Gang thought of the people in his country. Usually, when they went into the forest, they would smear grass juice with a strong smell to drive away mosquitoes.
"It's not the same for our own people. Let's see how much the honey of the big honey pill is worth. Add some money and sell it.
But you are not allowed to smuggle it to Tubo and Tujue. I still want to rely on this to make money and support the army. "
Li Yi gave an internal price and added some money to the cost.
Artemisia was cheap. Other artemisia were made into mosquito coils and sold.
"Li Dongzhu, can I bring back 20,000? It's easy to die from malaria. "Zhou Gang was ready to buy some.
"I'll give you 20,000." Li Yi was generous.
"Li Dongzhu, you … … why are you so good to us?" Zhou Gang was touched.
"Because you are at the border, and there are always wars at the border. I'm enjoying life at the rear. You don't have enough to eat, warm clothes, and can't be treated when you are sick. I'm afraid the enemy will come in. "
Li Yi was still telling the truth. The better the front line was fighting, the more relieved he would be in the rear.
"Li Dongzhu, your medical skills are amazing." Zhou Gang thought of an angle to praise.
Li Yi smiled: "I'm just dealing with it."
He knew the role of the big honey pill, but he admired the author of the emergency prescription, Ge Hong.
