After the Wei family learned about the situation, they simply let Doctor Yu stay at the Bai family for a while so that he could give acupuncture in time if any problem occurred.
The Bai family and the Wei family live in the same alley.
Doctor Yu stayed there for three days, and Madam Bai's condition gradually stabilized. Except that her energy and spirit were not as good as before, everything else was fine. Today, Madam Bai had already received acupuncture, taken medicine and went to bed. Doctor Yu happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so he quickly followed Liu Quan back.
The wine in the back room had been distilled three times.
It was a full pot, but in the end only a small jar was left.
Doctor Yu scooped out a little, dipped it with his fingertips, and put it into his mouth.
The spiciness made him grimace in pain and he kept coughing.
On the side, Wei Yunlan, who had been prepared, quickly handed him a bowl of water.
Doctor Yu took a big gulp, then looked at the small jar of wine in surprise and asked, "Is this the alcohol you mentioned earlier?"
Wei Yunlan nodded and asked expectantly, "How about this wine? Do you think it could be useful?"
"That's amazing!" Old Doctor Yu slapped his thigh, dipped his hand into the wine in the jar again, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and then stared at the pots and bamboo tubes set up in the room.
"I didn't expect you to actually make this kind of wine with a higher purity."
This was not the first time that Wei Yunlan and Dr. Yu had talked about alcohol.
As early as when Dr. Yu was on the road to exile, when he first treated Cheng Yue'e, Wei Yunlan asked him whether the method of applying alcohol to reduce fever was applicable.
At that time, Doctor Yu thought that although this method was useful, it had little effect. However, if the wine used is stronger, the effect will definitely be better.
Later they settled in Beiguan City. One time when the Tang Hai brothers came to deliver goods, a younger brother in the team suffered an external injury. The wound was not treated in time and a large area of it festered. It took him nearly two months to recuperate in Beiguan City before he recovered.
At that time, Wei Yunlan mentioned the matter of alcohol to Doctor Yu again. After that, Doctor Yu tried it several times with the wild rabbits that Wei Yunlan caught hunting, and lamented that if a stronger and stronger alcohol could be made, it would be helpful in preventing the wound from festering and worsening.
For this purpose, Wei Yunlan specifically asked Liu Qingxue to find a winery in Huangzhou, but the result was that with Dayong's existing brewing technology, it was impossible to brew a wine as strong as they described.
Afterwards, Wei Yunlan led people north to visit the northwestern countries, and the matter was shelved until the war broke out in the North Gate recently. She once again remembered the alcohol used by Xue Linglong when she was floating over the Marquis' Mansion in her previous life.
Since Xue Linglong was able to produce this thing, it means that this thing can be made in this era.
Wei Yunlan tried hard to recall the scenes he saw when he was floating around Xue Linglong in his previous life, and finally remembered that there were a few days when Xue Linglong took advantage of Chen Feng's absence and ordered her personal maid to steam wine in the yard.
Now, these things in the back room were made according to what she saw in her memory.
It actually worked!
"I need to try it to know what use it can be, but what is certain is that it will be useful." Doctor Yu said with certainty.
Wei Yunlan, "I heard from my father that the soldiers who were injured in the past two days have been sent back to the Western Suburbs Camp one after another. Some of them who were seriously injured were directly sent to the medical clinic in Beiguan City. Those who could not accommodate were placed in the side hall of the City Affairs Office. They are in need of doctors there now. I'll ask Liu Quan to take you there."
"That couldn't be more perfect." Doctor Yu picked up his medicine box, took the small jar of wine that had been distilled thrice, and went straight to the City Affairs Office.
Not long after, news came back that they needed some wine with a different strength from the one they had taken away.
Wei Yunlan got the news and immediately began to prepare.
According to the number of times of “steaming”, three different levels of strength are prepared.
He dressed up as a man and delivered it personally.
Seeing him coming, Doctor Yu was startled and said, "Just send Dong Da and the others to take them there. Why did you come here in person?"
This side hall was a mess, with many people lying there.
There was a brazier burning in the hall, so it wasn't cold. Some of them had wounds on their bodies, so they bared their chests and backs with their clothes open, which was very indecent.
Wei Yunlan took a look at the big man lying not far in front of Doctor Yu. The man was injured in the arm. In order to facilitate treatment, his shirt had been taken off. The wound on his arm should have just been treated and bandaged, but his face was still a bit unnaturally red.
Looks like a fever.
Doctor Yu took a step closer and lowered his voice: "Young lady, why don't you go back first? Otherwise, if someone sees you coming here, they will inevitably gossip."
In this world, reputation is so important to women.
A woman with a bad reputation will suffer a lot in marriage. Old Doctor Yu still remembers a clinic where he worked for a while when he was young. There was a doctor in the clinic who was a widower and lived in the clinic with his daughter. His daughter was also a sensible girl and often helped out with running errands.
But when it came time to talk about marriage, those who had praised the girl's ability began to dislike her because she grew up in a clinic and had seen many things that were not acceptable to girls in the boudoir, and thought she was immoral.
Hearing Doctor Yu's dilemma, Wei Yunlan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you think I will marry again in the future?"
"Those insignificant reputations are useless to me. The most urgent task is to find out the use of these alcohols as soon as possible. The wounded soldiers on the front line still need them!"
Doctor Yu was stunned for a moment, and after a while he stroked his graying beard and sighed, "I am obsessed."
"Girl, please give me the wine that has only been distilled once."
There are many more wounded waiting.
Doctor Yu quickly started treating the patient, while Wei Yunlan and several helpers she brought with her assisted Doctor Yu.
In just two days, they had almost figured out the uses of these different types of alcohol.
Alcohol that has been distilled only once can be used to help cool down people with fever and achieve the purpose of reducing fever.
Alcohol that has been steamed two or three times can be used to massage the patient's pressure areas, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and prevent bedsores.
The type that is steamed the most times is suitable for use on external injuries before applying medicine. With this extra step, the injured person's injuries will not be so easy to fester, and the chance of fever caused by the wound will also be much reduced.
Doctor Yu recorded all these findings in the medical records.
Wei Yunlan also wrote down the method of steaming wine in a booklet.
Doctor Yu had some guesses, and at the same time he was surprised, he secretly admired her, "Young lady, what are you planning to do..."
Wei Yunlan nodded and said, "Alcohol is good for the army and the people, so we must not keep it to ourselves. I have discussed with my father and mother and will teach General Shi the method of making alcohol first, so that he can use it in the army stationed in the north!"
