Chapter 418 Garlic is a treasure
It was late at night, the banquet ended, and some of the people who left were happy and some were sad.
Richard Nall's carriage was the last to leave, with one more guest in it than when it came.
"Does your father still only eat fish?" Richard Nall asked tellingly.
Princess Penelope replied: "Father is still fasting."
Richard Nall sighed: "I didn't expect that he persisted for so long."
"Back then, he and I were about the same age as you now. We were young and energetic, just like Suarez and you." My uncle had a fight on the bridge and almost destroyed the bridge."
"At that time, a nun from the church who was passing by punched us into the water and then arrested us. The sermon lasted until the next day.”
“Suarez started fasting from then on.”
“Thanks to that nun, we got rid of our arrogance. Otherwise, we will not be able to achieve our current achievements.”
Penelope saw that he was recalling the past and immediately said: "Now that my father is in a dangerous whirlpool, he asked his uncle to help."
Richard Nall frowned and asked: "Issuare Si's troops can just crush them, why are they so restrained?"
Penelope shook her head bitterly and said: "The king controlled the food supply in order to restrict his father."
< br>Richard Nar understood that the king of the Kingdom of Tarago was afraid of Grand Duke Suarez's rebellion, so he used food as a shackle to control him. In order to stabilize the domestic situation, both parties took a step back and compromised with each other. There was probably some agreement behind it.
He said: "You talk to Frederick."
Penelope nodded, holding the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, and finally sighed slightly.
When Richard Nall arrived at Frederick's residence, he found that the smell of alcohol in the room was stronger than at the banquet just now.
The living room seemed to have turned into a kitchen. Someone was peeling garlic. The trash can was filled with purple-red garlic peels. Someone put the freshly peeled garlic cloves into a mortar and poured in cold alcohol. Immerse, then quickly mash the garlic cloves into a paste, then pour the alcohol and garlic paste into a bottle to collect, add alcohol in a ratio of one part garlic paste to four parts alcohol, and seal it.
After introducing Penelope, Richard Nall told everything that happened at the banquet tonight.
Frederick asked the servants in the living room to leave and listened while he crushed the last bit of garlic cloves and bottled them. After listening, he said: "It turns out they are from them. Their theory has merit. It just can’t keep up with our development.”
"Master, please help me buy a copy of "The Nature and Research of Wealth" that I wrote tomorrow. After I sign it, please give it to Baron Turgot and tell him that I invite him to visit Wesson."
Richard Nall said with a smile: "Others, the master just talks and the apprentice breaks his legs, but here it is the master who breaks his legs."
After he accepted this task, he left, leaving Penelope here.
After Penelope arrived, she kept looking at Frederick tinkering with garlic with a strange expression. After Richard Nall left, she asked him: "Am I more attractive than garlic?"
Because Richard Naer and Suarez have been friends for many years without knowing each other, and this is not a formal occasion, the conversation between the two is casual.
Frederick nodded.
Penelope pouted and said depressedly: "I thought you would come to the banquet, so I dressed up as you liked. I didn't expect you to be with Garlic and not come to me. Here."
With a question mark on his head, Frederick looked at her in military uniform and asked, "You do look good in this outfit, but who told you that I like this look?" "Isn't it true? "Penelope replied, "When you were in the Osmaga Empire, you liked the Protector Mary the most among so many people, so everyone thought you liked women like us who lead troops in war."< br>
Frederick smiled and said: "I admire women who have their own careers, not just leading troops."
"That's it." Penelope said, "I thought you liked women who smell of garlic."
Frederick smiled and said: "Garlic is a good thing, and it is a treasure for the whole body."

"There is a substance in garlic that can kill bacteria. Some people use it to treat some intestinal diseases and trauma. After research, we found that it can even cure some so-called 'unchastity curses' and can also be used to destroy some crops. "It's just that the content of this substance in the garlic we have is low. This kind of garlic has a strong smell, so the content is probably much higher," he said. Put the last bit of crushed garlic into a bottle, seal it, shake it once every half a day, soak it for about two days, take out the alcohol solution and filter the residue, and then evaporate the alcohol to get the active ingredient: garlic oil.
After hearing this, Penelope no longer cared whether this guy "loved garlic rather than beauty", and asked nervously: "These...garlic...can really cure the unclean curse?"
The so-called " "Curse of impurity" is a general term for gynecological diseases. In the past, people could not understand the causes of these diseases. In addition, some of them can be spread through "piston movement", so the Church of Light believes that this is a curse from the God of Light on those women who do not keep themselves clean.
In fact, with the current overall sanitary conditions, even an unmanned little girl may be infected with the disease, not to mention that women who are engaged in manual labor are more likely to get sick due to reduced immunity due to malnutrition.
For thousands of years, countless women have suffered unjust injustice and have been persecuted and even lost their lives.
In the past few years, Frederick has pointed out microscopy and bacterial culture, and through comparative experiments has proved that many diseases, including this so-called curse, are caused by various bacteria. This is just this view It has not spread widely yet.
Seeing her like this, Frederick understood that she had a patient there, so he didn't ask any more privacy questions. He sat back on the sofa and replied: "The medical school did an experiment on rabbits, and it was indeed effective, but the amount of garlic oil needed to treat the intestinal tract is There are many diseases. ”
“Based on body weight, a person needs to take 40 mg of garlic oil three times a day for a course of half a month, and the cure rate is 90%.”
"It takes 100 grams of garlic over there to extract about 0.5 mg of garlic oil, which is equivalent to eating 24 kilograms of garlic a day."
Frederick has been looking for antibiotics, just because of bacterial strains and processes The reason is that the mycotoxins that can be found kill people as quickly as they kill bacteria, so we can only look elsewhere.
Some people used garlic paste to treat wound infections and stomachaches, so they began to research it, and the garlic oil they discovered is currently the most cost-effective anti-inflammatory drug.
After thinking for a while, Frederick said: "I remember there are some finished garlic oil capsules at the medical school. I will ask the airship to send a batch over tomorrow."
Penelope was so excited that she immediately went to grab it. She held his garlic-smelling hands and said, "Thank you so much!"
Then she said her intention: "It would be great if you could export a large amount of food and weapons to us!"
Frederick had previously heard from Richard Nar that the real target of the Kingdom of Gaul's southward movement might be the Kingdom of Tarago, so he replied: "Weapons are easy to say, we have to import food ourselves, but I can export military cans to you."
"How do you plan to pay? I heard that your economy is not well off."
Penelope's face suddenly turned red and she asked in a low voice: "What do you think of me?"
Frederick said seriously: "You can change it to canned beef of the same weight."
Penelope was stunned and began to draw her sword.
