Chapter 92 Practice is the only criterion for testing truth
In the past two days, Li Sanniang was busy practicing various suturing techniques on pork using the instruments sent from bad people and made by master craftsmen in the palace. Draw blueprints and tinker with distilling soju to obtain high-purity alcohol.
In order to better demonstrate these sewing techniques to the league, Li Sanniang not only practiced many times on pork to find the feel and speed, but also taught these techniques to her father and brother Li. Coming.
Unexpectedly, the one who learned the fastest was Li Erlang!
In order to see more clearly, Li Sanniang practiced on the table in the yard. She was afraid of the glare of the sun, so she chose a time period in the afternoon when the sunlight was not too dazzling, so when the four little ones got off school I happened to meet Brother Li practicing.
The family education originates from the family. Although only Li Dalang is currently practicing martial arts in the Li family, several others also have some martial arts skills. Of course, the four little ones can also identify some commonly used medicinal materials.
Father Li did not force one or more of the four little ones to learn medical skills. Firstly, this profession does depend on talent;
Secondly, it also depends on whether the individual is interested in it. This;
Thirdly, if a doctor does not enter the Imperial Medical Office, he will still be at the bottom of the list. If a doctor is as talented as Li's father himself, he can only rely on the benevolence and noble medical ethics of the doctor to be so successful in Chang'an City. Distinguishing your reputation is not much simpler than other professions.
So, if there is only other way to advance to the Fourth Primary School, then naturally there is no need to take this path.
Moreover, looking at the four little ones at present, Li Dalang is determined to pursue martial arts, and he should be made another arrangement by Brother Li in the future;
Li Erlang is the smartest among the four, but although he He is smart, but does not have this ambition. He prefers reading. If he can pursue an official career in the future, it will be better than practicing medicine;
Li Sanlang is too honest and kind, and has little talent, so he is really not suitable for this career;
Li Silang is still young. Because of what happened in his childhood, no one in the family wants to force him, and he himself is not very interested in it.
As for the youngest baby boy, Kogoro, let’s wait until he grows up and can run and talk.
But this afternoon, Li Sanniang was watching Li Erlang who was finishing school. She seemed to be interested in this suture, so she specially used another set of equipment on another piece of pork to demonstrate to him.
Only the most common simple interrupted suture was demonstrated, and then he indicated that Li Erlang could try it out.
As a result, Li Erlang only watched it once and did it better the first time than brother Li Erlang did after watching Li Sanniang’s demonstration many times and practicing it many times!
An unexpected surprise!
“Sister-in-law, if Erlang does not pursue an official career in the future, it is possible to inherit Aye’s family business!”
Sister-in-law Li didn't quite believe Li Sanniang's words. After all, in Li Sanniang's eyes, none of her four nephews was bad, from eldest to youngest. Every one of them could be praised by Li Sanniang non-stop for a quarter of an hour.
Li Sanniang saw Sister Li’s disbelief, so she asked Sister Li to come closer and take a look. Sister Li came over and took a look. The comparison should not be too obvious. The two pieces of pork sewn by Brother Li and Li Dalang were put together to compare. Look, it's really Li Erlang who does it more neatly and looks more standardized.
"My son is really amazing! He has such a good talent!"
Sister-in-law Li's praise made Li Erlang blush. Sure enough, children still need a lot of praise and recognition.
Finally, Li’s father and others suggested that it would be better to prepare a few more pieces of pork, and only three pairs of this equipment would not be enough. It would be better to get ten pairs together, so that more doctors can experience it. Only in this way can they feel more involved, and they can naturally understand the mystery.
Pork is easy to say, just pay the butcher to order it.
But this equipment is really difficult to handle. Although these equipments do not have much technical content, they cannot be made by just any craftsman.
"Why should I worry about this? Isn't this a good thing?
It is precisely because this instrument is difficult to hit that it highlights its rarity. Because it is useful and rare, isn't it okay? Are you asking my sister-in-law to make any conditions?"
Li Sanniang looked at Li Erlang, who had eight hundred tricks, with the look of "So you are like Li Erlang". Brother Li next to him nodded after listening to Li Erlang's words. The head said, "Yes, Erlang is right.
This instrument requires a master craftsman in the palace to forge it, or it was found for us by a bad person. It is so rare, why don't we let them beg Sanniang so that we can raise conditions? ”
Of course, the last two pieces of pork used in the exercise were taken to the kitchen and cut into small pieces by Mrs. Li to be stewed. The pork stewed with cabbage for dinner was very fragrant.
Li Sanniang wants to get the approval of the doctors at the Imperial Medical Office. The most suitable thing to take out is high-purity alcohol with disinfection function, which can minimize the risk of death due to infection and fever after trauma.
< br>The most suitable concentration of medical alcohol is 75%. This concentration is the best for sterilizing and disinfecting wounds. Below this concentration, the concentration of alcohol is more than 25%. It can be used to relieve the symptoms of fever
However, it is difficult to achieve such pure wine with the existing brewing methods. When Li Ersao was giving birth, Li Sanniang used shochu bought on the street to sew up her side and smear the wound.
This shochu is already a high-purity wine at this time. If you want to get 75% of the alcohol with the best disinfection effect, you need to distill it yourself.
The principle of distilling wine can be understood by high school students. It uses the difference in volatility of each component in the wine to vaporize the alcohol and then partially condense the steam to achieve purification. Increase the concentration of alcohol, but the key question is how.
Li Sanniang went to the second brother Li with the simple drawings she drew, "Second brother, do you think if you want to make this tool, is it better to find a bad person?
Or should we go to the blacksmith ourselves? Is it better to find someone in the shop? ”
"What is this for?" Brother Li asked looking at the strange drawings drawn by Li Sanniang.
“It’s the distilled wine I talked about with Aye before. If we use the highest alcohol burning knife on the market, we can improve the purity of the wine and get alcohol that can kill evil spirits and reduce the number of people dying from wounds. High fever caused by pus. "
Li Sanniang pointed at the drawing and explained the principle of distillation to Brother Li, then looked at Brother Li, waiting for Brother Li to give an answer.
"I understand what you mean. If we really find a blacksmith to make such an instrument ourselves, it will probably be a lot of trouble.
Your drawing is clear, but if we really use iron to make it Come out, that's not a small piece.
You have to register for a pair of scissors. If you really use such a big piece of iron, let alone beating it, the blacksmith will have to report to Jingzhao Mansion when you go. "
Li Sanniang really didn't expect this, mainly because she forgot to control the metal at this time.
"If a wooden barrel is used, it should be difficult to withstand the high temperature. Or maybe try using porcelain?
In fact, it is best to use colored glaze, but colored glaze is probably more expensive than porcelain, right? "
"It's hard to say. The principle you mentioned must specify that it must be sealed. No matter how good the craftsman is, it should be difficult to achieve a tight seal.
Moreover, if the thing called alcohol you are talking about is really refined and its use is so great, it is not something you and I or our Li family can do.
When the time comes, it’s hard to say whether there will be a disaster. "
"Then second brother, what do you think we should do? "
"Wait, let's discuss it with him when he comes back tonight. ”
My dear friends, the second update today!
