"It seems to have a salty smell of beans." Hu Yunjiao said while covering her nose.
Mu Qingya also nodded.
"Huh? You found it in the bean paste shop? Isn't it a cesspit?" Wu Zhe asked.
Wu Zhe had already turned off his sense of smell on his own, and could no longer smell anything.
"Don't ask, vomit—fortunately, I know there is a bean paste shop outside the city, but the smell there is not very good. And those maggots are moving around, really..." The corner of Shizi's mouth twitched.
His retching expression makes people know that it is miserable...
"There are often maggots in the soy sauce jars produced by the bean paste workshop. It's very convenient to ask them to buy some." The sad old man also hurriedly explained.
He didn't want a moon-level saint to be misunderstood to go to the cesspit to get maggots, although it was not a good thing to get them from the bean paste workshop.
Wu Zhe was delighted: "Okay, the maggots in Doujiangfang are much cleaner than those in the cesspit."
"Clean? Aren't all the maggots the same?" Mu Qingya muttered.
People who don't have the concept of bacteria and viruses just feel that something is particularly dirty. And maggots are a typical representative.
"No, no, the maggots in the sauce jar are fairly clean." Wu Zhe simply explained.
Hu Yunshang, who has never had a sense of existence, said: "The maggots in the sauce are edible, and many poor people also eat the sauce with maggots."
"Brother! Don't say such disgusting things!" Hu Yunjiao held her head and wanted to go crazy.
At this time, the human ladder moved again. It was five or six servants who brought copper basins, wooden buckets, etc., and brought what Wu Zhe requested.
Such as white cloth and light gauze, although they cannot replace gauze after boiling with water, they are still good for wiping wounds.
There are also candles to be sterilized, and the concentration of the wine is not enough to meet the requirements at all, so Wu Zhe refused to take it.
"White water? What is this?" Hu Yunjiao glanced at the contents of a bucket.
Wu Zhe said: "Rice washing water. Have you forgotten what I just said?"
Hu Yunjiao blushed: "I've never seen it before."
She never went to the kitchen, so of course she didn't know.
"Okay, you two have worked hard, let's assign work." Wu Zhe said solemnly: "Everyone wash their hands first. Seniors and young people, you two are responsible for washing the maggots."
"Wash maggots?" The sad old man didn't want to touch that kind of worms.
Wu Zhe pointed to a bucket of rice washing water and said, "Rinse the maggots twice with clean water to get rid of the sauce. Then wash them with rice washing water, be careful not to kill them."
The sad autumn old man glanced at Shizi, and nodded after seeing that the other party did not refuse. "
"I'll clean up the medicine on the dog's hind legs first." Wu Zhe washed his hands in the copper basin, and approached the table: "You guys are guest nurses... Well, the meaning of the nurse is to help me."
Wu Zhe began to prepare for surgery in the way of Western medicine.
"Hu Yunjiao, first mix the salt with warm water. This step is called making physiological saline..."
"Mu Qingya, light a lot of candles, prepare bamboo chopsticks, daggers, etc., and roast them on the flames..."
"Yunshang, close the windows, leave one or two windows, and cover them with cloth. The maggots grow slowly when exposed to light, and may even die in the sun."
The elder son and the old man who was mourning autumn were beside him, holding a bucket and sitting in a daze beside a big water basin.
Wash maggots
"I've never done this before!" The sad autumn old man said, "Master, can we not listen to her?"
"It's probably the first time for the two of us to do this in this world, hey, it's really exciting!" The prince looked excited, and he was about to lift the basket with his arms.
"Master! Be careful of maggots drilling into your flesh!" The sad old man didn't mind seeing the prince, and couldn't help suppressing the emotion of wanting to run away: "I'll go find her and say a few words."
Sadly, the old man went to Wu Zhe again, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Xiao, I have something to ask."
Wu Zhe was using normal saline to clean up the drug residue on the dog's wound: "Senior, it's okay."
The semi-conscious sick dog struggled a few times while the wound was being cleaned. But with Hu Yunshang holding it down, there is no need to worry about it moving.
"Young lady's use of maggots to heal the wound, if it doesn't work, I'm afraid the old man will be rude to Miss Xiao."
"Oh? You're a threat!" Wu Zhe said with a smile, "I'm really scared."
Don't laugh if you're afraid. The sad autumn old man was upset.
Wu Zhe was distracted and usually didn't look at him. He just looked at the dog's wound and didn't stop washing his hands, and said slowly: "Well, senior, if I say, even if the treatment of the wound fails, I can still treat it." How about letting the country of Qi wantonly develop animal husbandry such as raising horses, pigs, and chickens because of this maggot?"
The sad autumn old man was startled suddenly.
Shizi also stared round his eyes and looked over.
Sure enough, these two guys are important officials of Qi State. Wu Zhe had a good idea after a little probing, and he went further and said, "Maggots are very useful. For example, people can actually eat them. After smashing them and mixing them into flour cakes, the dry food made is the most hungry. It can be doubled. In other words, the burden of transporting grain and grass will be doubled."
The sad autumn old man laughed: "Eating maggots? What are you kidding! Aren't you afraid of soldiers mutiny?"
"Mution? Well, it makes sense. This kind of dry food is easily influenced by local rumors, so I don't think about it for now. Then you can use maggots to raise pigs and make dry cakes. Especially use maggots to feed horses. The effect is very good." Wu Zhe said: "In fact, if you train special soldiers through training, let alone eat cooked dry food of maggots and minced meat. You can also eat raw caterpillars and other things."
The prince was shocked when he heard it.
I've never heard of such a theory, does it sound like it's true
If you use the language of another world to describe the son's current feelings, it is not clear.
"Miss Xiao. I want to ask you for advice..." Shi Zi cupped his hands.
Wu Zhe didn't look at him: "Save the dog first, and we'll talk about other things later."
"The death of a dog is a minor matter, but the state of Qi is the greatest." The son said seriously: "If the girl has a plan to strengthen the state of Qi, I can't give up the righteousness because of the small righteousness. I also hope that the girl..."
"You put two big pieces of dog skin plaster on, and you're talking to me like that?" Wu Zhe looked up at him.
Wu Zhe's words were tantamount to slapping him. You concealed your identity and came to me, how dare you say something righteous? Let's talk after revealing your identity.
The crown prince immediately said awkwardly: "This is not enough to be polite."
He stopped talking and went to wash the maggots obediently.
The old man in mourning autumn knew that the son had been shattered and could no longer speak, so he went to help.
"Just flush it with water, you don't need to touch it with your hands." Wu Zhe finally kindly reminded.
Shizi said thanks for the reminder.
The sad autumn old man felt sad: This Xiao Ruoyao is absolutely the only woman in the world who can make the world wash away maggots...
Hu Yunjiao and the others knew what Wu Zhe had planned, so they stopped talking and silently made all preparations.
"Put the living maggots on the carrion of the wound." Wu Zhe directed as follows.
The son followed suit. Gently pour the plated maggots onto the dog's wound.
Maggots squirmed slowly over the wound.
Hu Yunjiao and the others were more curious than disgusted, and gathered around to watch by candlelight.
After watching for two cups of tea, everyone saw the clue.
The sad autumn old man exclaimed: "The maggots are actually eating rotten meat? Didn't they drill holes into the good meat?" (To be continued.)
