Someone said with pity, "Doctor Su, this pus is contagious, you mustn't touch it."
"Yes, everyone else is trying to avoid it..."
Su Yujiao said nonchalantly, "I know it's dangerous, but someone always has to do dangerous things."
Wearing a mask, gloves, cotton swabs, and a porcelain bottle, Su Yujiao stepped forward and collected some pus, sealing it inside the bottle.
Lu Ziqian said, "I'll go to the room in front and light some smoke."
After disinfecting themselves and changing into clean clothes they had brought in advance, the two hurriedly returned to the city.
Magistrate Zhang was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, which was the place specifically provided for her to develop the smallpox vaccine.
"Have you prepared everything I asked for?"
"They're all here. Doctor Su, you can check them again."
"Um."
"Okay, move them all in."
"After I go in, no one is allowed to enter this courtyard."
"Also, prepare some other things for me. Here is a list. Just leave it at the door. Once everything is ready, I can take it myself."
Magistrate Zhang glanced at the list and was even more bewildered: moldy oranges, rice water, rapeseed oil, and charcoal?
There were also cattle that were restless, had a poor appetite, red eyes, and were emaciated.
This young doctor always asks for things that are so unexpected.
"Dr. Su, what do you need these for?"
"Naturally, it's about developing drugs."
"You don't need to ask any more questions, just prepare according to the list, and make sure there are plenty of moldy oranges."
"Oh, by the way, send the items on this list as soon as possible; they are all crucial."
"Especially strong liquor, send as much as you can, because once it's made into alcohol, it can both disinfect and cool down."
"The most terrifying thing about the plague is that the lesions cause a persistent high fever. Once the fever can be reduced, it is much easier to treat."
Just as Su Yujiao finished giving her instructions, Gu Heng arrived, looking travel-worn: "Brother Su, please be careful in everything you do."
"I will have someone guarding outside the courtyard. Just call out if you need anything."
"Thank you very much, Brother Gu."
Before Su Yujiao entered the courtyard, she glanced at Lu Ziqian, who, still worried, cautioned her, "Be careful!"
Even if it fails, you must save your own life.
Su Yujiao gave him a deep look, her feelings indescribably complicated. He was kind to everyone, but he was so heartless towards her.
Seeing the complicated look in her eyes, Lu Ziqian asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Why don't you wear this mask?"
The woman shook her head, composed herself, and said, "No need."
"I'm going in now. Take good care of yourselves."
After Su Yujiao went inside, she made many small cuts on the udders of the two cows.
Then apply the viral pus to the wound. In just 5 days, the virus will multiply rapidly.
After disinfecting the affected area, use a scraper to scrape off the scab and dermal tissue from the wound.
This sticky substance is the vaccine concentrate, which is then diluted with water, and then applied to the nasal cavity of the recipient using a cotton swab.
The recipient will have a fever within one to three days, and the vaccination is considered successful once the fever subsides.
Just as Su Yujiao finished doing all that, Magistrate Zhang's voice came from the doorway: "Doctor Su, everything you asked for has been prepared."
"Okay, I'll pick it up later."
After finishing her work, Su Yujiao carried baskets of moldy oranges into the yard.
Then, evenly apply the fermented rice water to each orange. The purpose of this is to allow the mold to quickly and evenly cover the entire orange.
She only needs to wait seven days to obtain a culture of Penicillium spores.
The spore culture is then fermented in rapeseed oil. After seven days, the oil and water can be separated using charcoal blocks. The separated liquid is the penicillin stock solution.
While waiting for the butter vaccine and penicillin, she didn't sit idle.
Instead, they distilled the spirits from jar to jar into alcohol.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yujiao successfully extracted the smallpox vaccine stock solution.
She first got vaccinated in the courtyard, and then developed a fever the next night. She took the fever-reducing medicine she had prepared in advance, and then kept wiping herself with alcohol to cool down. Her fever subsided that night.
She was full of energy on the third day. It's good to be young. She worked non-stop for five days and her resistance was still very strong.
Outside the city, Chen Yunniang and her servant, escorted by Liu Wu, finally arrived in Qicheng.
Chen Yunniang said that she was Lu Ziqian's wife, and the guards on the city wall went to inform Lu Ziqian.
Lu Ziqian sent men to bring the people into the city.
Where is General Lu?
The soldier who came to pick you up answered truthfully, "General Lu is busy and cannot come to pick you up in person."
"The general has instructed his subordinates to take you to a place to rest."
Chen Yunniang shook her head: "I'm not tired, I don't need to rest."
"Give me a brief overview of the city, and I'll go help out later."
"yes."
After hearing the introduction, Chen Yunniang inquired about the situation of Physician Su and learned that she was in seclusion in the courtyard researching medicine. She then had an idea.
She didn't ask where Su Langzhong was, but told him to go do other things, saying she would rest for a while and then go to the clinic to help.
After the soldier left, she randomly asked a local and easily learned Su Yujiao's location.
"Let's go take a look."
The three of them, master and servant, arrived at the courtyard. It was already getting dark. Chen Yunniang asked Liu Wu to climb the wall to check the situation.
“Miss Chen, I have already investigated, and there is indeed only Physician Su in the courtyard.”
A murderous glint flashed in Chen Yunniang's eyes. This bitch had harmed her so badly; she would never let her go.
Do you still have any sleeping pills on you?
