Chapter 6 Refined Salt
The two-hour operation made Dr. Zheng exhausted, but he was in good spirits. He said that if the patient could recover, it would definitely be recorded in history!
Xu Yan smiled and bowed: "That boy congratulates Uncle Zheng in advance. His name is kept in history and is respected by future generations!"
Dr. Zheng slapped him in the head and cursed with a smile: "I just know how to tease me!"
When they were busy, Peng Yue was not idle either. While asking him to go to Lincheng County to buy medicinal materials and make wound medicine Baibao Dan, he was busy purifying the refined salt and urging the kitchen to make scallion oil pancakes.
Three days later, a team of 100 people set off from the camp. Their purpose was to suppress the three thousand soldiers of bandits in the mountains. Before leaving, Peng Yue wrote a letter to the general responsible for transporting grain, asking him to hand it over to the general himself!
The grain transport team walked in the mountains for five days before finding the army stationed in Hutou Mountain.
At this time, they had wiped out seven or eight thieves' nests, and only the Yingshan Mountains were left. Zhao Shouting ordered the army to stop and rest and allow the scattered soldiers to gather on the Yingshan Mountains. There are now five or six thousand people, with a huge momentum.
Zhao Shouting turned a blind eye to this. He was still waiting. All the bandits hiding in the mountains gathered together, and they won in one battle, wiped out the whole thing, and returned the people in Shu to a permanent peace.
In the handsome account located in the center of the camp, Zhao Shouting was reading the letter from Peng Yue. The more he read it, the more he became, the more surprised he was. Finally, he burst into laughter.
Sima Songqiu next to him asked curiously: "General, what are the happy events?"
"A great joy! Peng Yue ordered the soldiers to investigate the bandits, but unexpectedly discovered that the master disciples had offered many wonderful techniques that could be used by the army!"
"Who?"
"Does Shi'an know the Shunyang Qujia?"
Song Qiu thought for a moment and said, "What the general is talking about is the Qu family who practiced medicine for that generation? His family's secret medicine, Baibao Dan, is said to be able to live and die, and it is a pity that it has been lost now!"
"Hahaha! It's not a pity for Shi'an. The man Peng Yue found was the only remaining disciple of the Qu family. He said that he would present the prescription of the Hundred Treasures to the court. After repeated verification, Dr. Zheng confirmed that this medicine was effective for external injuries. Ordinary sword injuries could be cured in three or five days after applying the medicine. Peng Yue had ordered the soldiers to prepare it day and night in the camp. The first batch of wounded medicines had been transported with the military rations, and there were thirty throttps://www.youtu.com/
"Serious salt?" Song Qiu thought he had heard it wrong.
"Yes, the best salt!"
Zhao Shouting stood up and said, "According to Peng Yue, that kid came up with a way to purify the coarse salt, which can turn coarse salt into fine salt, and the quality can even be comparable to that of green salt. I don't believe it, let's go and have a look!"
The two found the grain transport team and found that there was chaos here. Many soldiers were grabbing cakes and making the chief clerk who was preparing to receive the accounting want to cry without tears.
"What is this to do? What kind of style!" Song Qiu scolded.
When everyone saw the general coming, they hurriedly put down the cake, but their cheeks were bulging and they were reluctant to vomit, so they were trying hard to swallow.
Zhao Shouting frowned: "As far as I know, the army has never been short of food. Why are you so hungry? Didn't you eat enough at noon?"
"No general!"
A soldier said embarrassedly: "I was full at noon, but these grain cakes were so delicious that we couldn't help but taste them!"
Zhao Shouting walked over, picked up a cake and looked at it. Unlike the thick and hard pastry cakes in the past, the cakes delivered this time were very soft and thin, with a layer of crispy oily surface, and green chopped green onions mixed in it, which was fragrant.
He took a bite and even though it was cool, it was still soft and had a great taste.
"Is this scallion pancake?" he asked the soldiers who delivered the food.
"Yes, Brother Xu taught us how to do it!" the soldier replied.
Zhao Shouting nodded and said to Song Qiu who was puzzled by the side: "Xu Yan, I am the master disciple I mentioned. Peng Yue said in the letter that this cake not only tastes good, but also has a long storage time, and can be used as a grain army!"
The two of them went to see the cars of fine salt again. The blue and white particles filled the bags. Zhao Shouting pinched a little and tasted it, without any bitterness.
As for the Baibao Dan, it is an off-white ointment and is placed in a clay pot.
"General, maybe he is suspicious, but it is really puzzling to see such a person suddenly appear!" Song Qiu frowned.
Zhao Shouting nodded: "Peng Yue said in the letter that he had sent someone to Shunyang to investigate. I believe there will be a reply soon. By comparing his words and deeds, you will know it with one try!"
——
The military camp has been very lively recently. Six large pots were set up on the school grounds, and hot water with herbs were burned day and night. The soldiers were in groups of five, taking a bath with water one by one, and everyone had to wash it.
In addition, the camp also stipulated that soldiers were not allowed to drink raw water, they had to go to the cottage to go to the toilet, wash their hands before eating, wash their feet before going to bed... and many other rules made the soldiers complain.
But General Peng said that this was to eliminate the epidemic and issued military orders, which everyone must implement.
At first, I was naturally uncomfortable, but gradually everyone found that the military camp became cleaner, and fewer people were sick with stomachache and stomachache. I also lost the smell of feet that made people dying of ecstasy at night. Even the lice and fleas became fewer, so I quickly got used to it.
In addition, there are also changes in food. In the past, the food was steamed or cooked, and the meat and vegetables were soft, not only ugly but also unpalatable. Now, there are a lot of foods that are stir-fried with vegetables, which is attractive in the aroma and is loved by all soldiers.
There are two other places in the camp that are operating day and night. One is a site that processes fine salt, which is closely surrounded by sergeants and no one is allowed to approach. Peng Yue even asked someone to build a huge wooden shed, like a workshop.
The other part is distilled alcohol. The guards twitched their noses quickly, smelled the aroma of wine in the air, and kept swallowing.
All these changes were brought by Brother Xu. Not only did he offer ancestral elixirs, but he also had superb medical skills. With him, the casualties in the army were greatly reduced.
In the newly built medical area, Xu Yan and Dr. Zheng are examining amputated soldiers.
The tied soft belt has been untied, and the broken limbs have been applied, and the thighs are a little swollen, which means that there is not clear blood stasis. Dr. Zheng said that the magic lamp can be used, similar to moxibustion, but the moxibustion is made with a medicine strip instead of a silver needle, which can eliminate blood stasis.
Xu Yan is not good at this, so Dr. Zheng takes action.
As the wounded gradually recovered, the tent became empty, and only a few people were still treating it. After watching it for a while, today's work was completed.
At noon, the two of them had a meal together, a plate of cold fungus, a plate of fried pork liver, a plate of leek scrambled eggs, and a pot of sake, so they were leisurely and leisurely.
"The war report came yesterday. The general had wiped out the bandits, won a great victory, and confiscated a lot of supplies!" Dr. Zheng said while drinking.
Xu Yan was not surprised by this and smiled and said, "It is worthy of being a army of wars. The court will definitely issue an order to reward you, right?"
"The left and right are just a few words of praise, it's useless!"
