Veterinarian Pan was terrified, and hurriedly went to Bai Shan to confess his guilt, "A total of fourteen pigs were moved, and three died."
Bai Shan asked, "Can you find out the reason?"
Veterinarian Pan said angrily, "External evils entered the body, the wound was red and swollen, it was difficult to heal, and the fever was difficult to go away. He died within a day."
Zhou Man on the side was thoughtful, "It's inevitable, but what is the death rate of the gelding?"
"It's lighter than this. I've been gelding all these years, and almost no one died."
Horses are very precious, and if one dies, their bonus red seal is basically gone.
Zhou Man said: "It's still because of lack of proficiency, but it doesn't matter, I have a medicine in my hand, which can make up for this gap temporarily."
But Zhou Man still asked a lot, "Who did the surgery on the three who died?"
Veterinarian Pan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Two were castrated by Doctor Tian and the three of them together, and one was castrated by my big apprentice."
In other words, the one that passed through the hands of veterinarian Pan still survived.
Zhou Man raised his eyebrows at Bai Shan, and Bai Shan nodded and said, "I see, thank you, Veterinarian Pan."
He smiled and said: "They are all beginners, just practice more, you don't have to take it too seriously."
Veterinarian Pan was relieved to see that County Magistrate Bai and Master Zhou didn't blame him.
Zhou Man took the ready-made penicillin to Veterinarian Pan, and smeared it with a little bit after each castration, "I don't know how much is the right amount to use, first from small to large, adjust the amount little by little."
Veterinarian Pan agreed and brought penicillin back to Zhuangzi.
A lot of piglets were collected in the pigsty. Veterinarian Pan didn't dare to let go of the castration these two days. He castrated five piglets every day to check the situation, followed by Dr. Tian and his two apprentices.
Looking at the speed at which the piglets were delivered, he also knew that he alone would not be enough, so he asked the two apprentices to try to use the knife himself, but he did not expect that the death rate of them was so high.
Veterinarian Pan put down what he was doing and stared at them to castrate a few of them.
County magistrate Bai had said that he was asked to teach his apprentices, and in the future they would go to the countryside to castrate piglets for pig farmers.
Veterinarian Pan didn't want to go to the countryside, because he was allocated a house and received so much extra salary, he was not afraid of starving to death after teaching the apprentice.
Moreover, in his heart, compared to gelding, he feels that gelding and healing cows and horses have a better future, and he intends to teach his son this part of the core skills...
Sun Xin and Niu Ergou may have noticed something, so they studied very hard, much more serious than Doctor Tian.
They didn't leave even after wielding the knife. They squatted in the pigsty and looked at the castrated pigs, observing their conditions very carefully.
When there is no one, the brothers will also say small things, "Will the gelling be passed down like the gelding in the future?"
"It should be. Didn't Magistrate Bai say that gelding pigs are better raised and the meat tastes better."
Niu Ergou exhaled, "Then we only learn how to steer pigs, so we can support our family in the future, right?"
Sun Xin nodded, took a look outside and said in a low voice: "Let's think about some more cures for cooking diseases. As long as there are more people raising pigs, we will not have to worry about food in the future."
Niu Ergou also looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, have you mastered master's gelding technique?"
Sun Xin sighed and shook his head, "I've seen it many times, but I've never done it myself, so it shouldn't work."
He said: "A horse is much more valuable than a pig, and the future chief may not be as lenient as County Magistrate Bai. If the gelding dies and is punished..."
Niu Ergou shuddered, and immediately dared not mention it again, "I am very content to be able to learn how to steer a pig."
"However, I have memorized several prescriptions master has given to treat cattle diseases, but I am not proficient in judging cattle diseases."
Niu Ergou also nodded, "I will touch the cow's belly. Last time Master went to deliver the cow, I just followed and learned a lot."
The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and immediately decided to exchange information and learn from each other.
Sun Xin also said: "The three doctors who came to study with us, they have a lot of prescriptions in their hands. Look at the potions they used to apply these two days. I think they are very good. The piglets used are all recovered. faster."
Niu Ergou understood, and took out a handful of copper coins to Sun Xin, so after the veterinarian Pan left the next day, the two bought a chicken, some vegetables, and a jug of wine with the pooled money. After the cook in the Zhuangzi helped to cook, the three doctors were invited to stay and drink.
Doctor Tian and the three have been rather depressed these days, so they didn't think much about it. After all, they studied together with the two of them and had some friendship.
Hearing the two people asked about the medicine for the little piggy, Doctor Tian smiled wryly and said, "Not to mention you, we also want this medicine very much, but we don't know how to make this medicine. Only Master Zhou and Master Wen know how to do it."
Even though the army wanted a lot of penicillin, Zhou Man didn't let them do it, but asked Hu Xiaomei and Wei Shizhong to do it, but that's it, they didn't know the specific production method, they only knew that moldy one would be used Mildew.
Sun Xin suddenly felt that the meal was for nothing, and looked at the chicken in the middle of the table, feeling distressed.
Niu Ergou also felt distressed, but there was nothing he could do. He asked, "After that, we can only buy medicine from the medical office when we castrate the piglets?"
Dr. Wei laughed and said, "It doesn't have to be penicillin. Your master used to gelding horses, and his gelding pigs these days, didn't they all use their own prescriptions? I don't think any pigs have problems."
Sun Xin was thoughtful, and Sun Ergou compared and shook his head, "But the piglets who were treated with penicillin did recover faster, even if the master gave him the knife."
So it's better to use this potion.
"This medicine is not cheap." Dr. Tian poured a glass of wine and said, "As far as I know, only some special patients who can use this medicine at present, and the soldiers in the army. Not many people do it.”
At this time, Zhou Man, who had just returned home from the medical office, took the letter from Bai Erlang's hand, opened it and scanned it at a glance.
Mingda walked slowly in the hall with his waist supported, and asked, "What's the matter with the prince's brother writing to you in such a hurry?"
The letter was not sent by the post station, but sent directly by the guards to Mingda, and Mingda forwarded it. This kind of letter is faster and can be regarded as an urgent letter.
Zhou Man handed the letter directly to Bai Erlang, and said, "Your Highness wants to open a pharmacy, specializing in penicillin."
Mingda was puzzled, "Since when did the prince brother become interested in business matters?"
Zhou Man's face was tangled, he didn't know whether he should agree, Bai Erlang had already read the letter, and said to Ming Da: "Last month there was a conflict between Tubo and Dajin, penicillin was used, and the eighty-nine soldiers who were injured had nothing to do." Once he died, there were no students from the imperial medical department, only the military doctors in their army were there, and it is said that half of the wounded patients who passed through his hands survived would be considered good."
He said again: "Also, the youngest son of Lord Yu of Dali Temple, the typhoid fever did not heal, high fever and convulsions, the imperial hospital was about to give up, and finally used penicillin, and he survived. Now penicillin has replaced watermelon cream as another magic medicine .”
