"Prepare some fruits first and put them in a place. After a period of time, when the fruits have rotted and become moldy, collect the layer of green mold on them. After that, I will tell you the extraction method," Ren Baqian said.
"Sure. The penicillin you mentioned is the hair that grows after the fruits have rotted? " Chen Zisheng asked. Without waiting for Ren Baqian's reply, he asked another question, "The terminology you mentioned just now is different from what I know. I have never heard of it. Where did you learn it from? "
"This is a medical technique from the distant West. We call it western medicine," Ren Baqian said. "If you want to learn, I can show you two western medicine books."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zisheng was overjoyed. He stood up from his chair and cupped his hands towards Ren Baqian, "Thank you, brother."
Ren Baqian waved his hand. He hesitated for a while and was about to tell Chen Zisheng about another matter.
Typhoid fever was a very troublesome disease in ancient times. It had the highest mortality rate. Even in modern times, many people died every year because they didn't receive treatment in time.
In modern times, chloramphenicol was the main treatment for typhoid fever. However, it was difficult to produce because of the lack of resources.
Ren Baqian was prepared to exchange for penicillin and Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases if he didn't have enough penicillin.
However, now that penicillin could be exchanged for the formula for the black mud cream, there was no use for him to keep these two medical books. The Chen Medicine Hall had always had a good reputation. It treated commoners at a low price and had a high reputation in Lan City. Ren Baqian was prepared to give these two books to Chen Zisheng. It could be considered as doing a good deed for this world.
Ren Baqian thought to himself, 'I will bring these two medical books the next time I come here.' What was more troublesome was that the language here was the same as Chinese, but the words were different. He probably had to read them to Chen Zisheng.
"We will take our leave then. I will come back in four to five days after I have prepared the things." Ren Baqian stood up and left.
Chen Zisheng sent the two of them to the door.
"You can treat typhoid fever?" Caretaker Shi asked Ren Baqian after he left.
"There is indeed a way to treat it." Ren Baqian nodded.
Caretaker Shi sighed, "It would be great if you came ten years earlier!"
Upon hearing this, Ren Baqian knew that Chen Zisheng's relatives and friends had passed away because of this disease.
"But how old was I ten years ago? At that time, I didn't understand anything. "
Caretaker Shi squeezed out a smile. "That's true. It's not too late to come. "
After that, Caretaker Shi lost interest in talking.
After that, Ren Baqian made a trip to the blacksmith shop where he made the box previously. He ordered a few fan blades and bearings to make an indigenous fan.
He drew what he wanted on the map and gave it to the other party. The boss immediately said, "This is simple. Come back to collect it in two days."
After finishing his meal, he returned to the beast park and went to the icehouse to take a look.
Nominally, he was in charge of this ice cellar, but why did he not come here more than a few times? Fortunately, the odd-job workers arranged by Caretaker Shi were very efficient, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Now that the ice cellar was full, they were resting. Ren Baqian waved his hand and said, "Everyone, put a piece of ice under your bed at night and have a good sleep."
Anyway, as long as the ice cellar was full, it would be fine. If there were more, he might as well make the best use of it.
"Thank you very much, Caretaker Ren." The ten of them chuckled. This was a good thing for them.
After taking a stroll around the ice cellar, Ren Baqian saw that they had nothing to do, so he called a few of them to follow him back to prepare seedlings for the sweet potatoes.
When he returned, he saw two panda cubs lying in the shade. They looked so hot that they were unwilling to get up.
Ren Baqian fetched a basin of water, lifted the two little chaps, and threw them into the basin.
The two little chaps immediately crawled out of the basin while groaning. It seemed like they did not like soaking in the basin of water.
After walking one round on the ground, they were covered in mud.
When Ren Baqian saw that the two little chaps wanted to rub against his body, he quickly took two steps away.
Tiantian and Gungun groaned as they crawled back to the shade and continued to stay there. Not long after, their fur was dry.
This time, the two little chaps shook their heads and crawled back into the basin to wet their fur before coming out again.
Ren Baqian had to admit that these two little chaps were quite smart.
"Caretaker Ren, this flower bear's meat is not tasty. It's useless to keep it." The one who spoke was called Teng Dilong. He was very strong and honest.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, he mentioned that the meat was not tasty. Ren Baqian felt like giving him a kick.
In your eyes, this panda has no other use other than being eaten, right?
"I'm keeping it for fun." Ren Baqian casually said, "In the future, when I'm not in the beast park, look after these two chaps. Feed them some water and bamboo leaves. You all know where to get the bamboo leaves, right?"
"Understood, Caretaker Ren, don't worry," the few of them replied.
Ren Baqian then pulled out the bag containing the sweet potatoes from under the bed.
He guided them bit by bit. First, he cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces and hung them on a wooden stick.
Then, he filled a basin with water and placed the wooden stick on top of the basin.
He ensured that half of the sweet potatoes were submerged in water and the other half was exposed. This way, after the sweet potatoes germinated, they could be used for planting.
After he finished teaching them these things, someone from the palace came to call Ren Baqian into the palace.
This time, it was Shi Hu who came. He pulled Ren Baqian aside and asked, "I heard that you made a bet with the people from the imperial kitchen?"
"You can say so. I mainly wanted to broaden their horizons," Ren Baqian said happily. He turned around and pulled out the bag from under the bed. He took out a small bag of every kind of seasoning, wrapped them in cloth, and carried them away.
"These are the things you prepared?" Shi Hu asked curiously as he looked at Ren Baqian packing the small bags of seasoning.
He had heard about the incident with the imperial kitchen.
Logically speaking, the imperial kitchen had the best chefs in the country. What they said should be right.
However, Ren Baqian appeared out of thin air in the army that day and was able to make ice on such a hot day. Shi Hu felt that Ren Baqian was rather mysterious and felt that Ren Baqian had a higher chance of winning.
Now that he saw Ren Baqian packing so many things, he knew that these were Ren Baqian's preparations.
When they arrived at the imperial kitchen and saw that Ren Baqian had arrived, everyone stood up. Previously, when Ren Baqian made the bet, everyone was present. These people had been waiting to teach Ren Baqian a lesson for a few days. Finally, the day had arrived.
"Caretaker Ren, take out the seasoning that you mentioned. If you don't have it, don't blame me for breaking your legs and hanging them on the city wall." Caretaker Gou had a fierce look on his face and spoke with a fierce tone.
He really didn't believe that Ren Baqian could take out a few seasonings that he had never seen before.
One had to know that the spices that could be used were all in the imperial kitchen. Even if there were other spices, they would be unknown or in a faraway place.
How could Ren Baqian take out spices that he had never seen before in a few days?
Caretaker Gou didn't believe it at all. The others were also waiting to watch the show and teach this bastard who spoke nonsense a lesson.
"Hey, let me broaden your horizons. In the future, remember to stand at attention and call me brother when you see me." Ren Baqian wasn't angry at all and said cheerfully.
As he spoke, he opened the cloth bag. Inside, there were small bags of things.
"See, this is star anise, this is cinnamon, this is monosodium glutamate, this is sesame, this is cumin, this is pepper, and this is thirteen spices. You have never seen them before, right?" Ren Baqian said one by one.
Seeing him take out such a pile of things, those people didn't look good. Immediately, someone said, "Who knows if those things are real or fake?"
