Next on the stand was Chebman Norton.
In the Alchemist Association, Chebman Norton may be more famous than Shazoe.
After all, his aptitude is old, and he spends almost all of his time on alchemy, unlike Desinia's "non-professional work".
What's more, the alchemists' evaluation of this master is quite consistent and mostly respected, and he is not younger than Xia Zuoyi and is questioned by others.
However, although Chebman Norton's reputation is sufficient, he is not as good as Xia Zoe in terms of status - the commoners are far less noble than the nobles.
For this alone, Chebman Norton will show on the stage before Xia Zoe, which is also a decision made by the Ed Chamber of Commerce after consultation with him.
And Chebman Norton had no opinion.
Xia Zoe carefully observed the master alchemist.
He felt that Chebman was more like a rigorous academic in terms of appearance, and he was meticulous about everything.
Chebman was wearing a light gray outfit. Although he didn't look too delicate and expensive, the fabric was soft and suitable, which completely brought out his temperament, and it was easy for people to feel respectful.
With a serious and serious expression, he instructed the attendants to move lightly, and beside his apprentice Bei Jin to help, he quickly got all the things on the booth and arranged them one by one.
Xia Zuoyi stared curiously at the bottles and jars placed on the table, thinking that this is not like showing only one thing... Could it be that Chebman Norton has a lot of alchemy achievements
as predicted.
Chebman Norton said he had two alchemy achievements to show to everyone—
One is a medicinal syrup for treating sore throat, cooling blood, headache and cough.
Different from the bitter taste of botanical medicines in the past, this medicine should be called syrup medicine. The taste is clear and sweet, and it can be drunk directly without boiling.
In order to make it more intuitive for people to watch.
This medicinal syrup is packed in a clear glass bottle, and the thick yellow-brown liquid inside floats left and right with the slight shaking of the bottle.
The liquid adheres to the inner side of the bottle and flows down slowly, and the color is beautiful.
Chebman said: "This medicinal syrup can not only treat cough, sore throat and other symptoms, but also drink and maintain the body at ordinary times..."
"As long as it is sealed in a jar, the medicinal syrup can be kept for half a year."
The time advantage is obvious.
Such a storage time could not help but make some nobles nod secretly.
In particular, the utility of maintaining the body also makes them excited.
At this time, the attendants of the auction hall walked up to the booth again, each holding a tray with cups in their hands.
Chebman asked his apprentice Begin to pour the medicinal syrup he had brought into these cups, and then ordered his attendants to walk down the booth to distribute them and be tasted and appraised by the nobles.
Due to the limited quantity of medicinal syrup produced, it cannot cover all the personnel in the auction house.
Therefore, the nobles who can taste it are also limited to a certain range.
Their status is naturally not low - members of the imperial royal family, nobles above the marquis, etc. can get a cup of medicinal syrup.
In front of Xia Zuoyi, the attendant also respectfully put down a cup.
He picked it up to take a closer look, and then leaned in to smell it again, a faint fragrance gradually spreading in his nose.
The scent feels slightly familiar.
Chebman said at this time: "This medicinal syrup uses elderberry flowers."
His apprentice Bei Jin also said: "The elderflower will emit a sweet and fragrant smell. In recent years, some people have used elderflower to make tea and drink it."
"That's why my teacher and I started researching other benefits of elderflower some time ago..."
Xia Zuoyi heard it clearly in the audience.
There is a saying on the western continent that elderberry is a plant that can bring good luck, and planting elderberry in the garden can prevent diseases or demons.
Elderberry is also used in the botanical medicines or ointments made by Xia Zuoyi in the past, because elderberry has a nickname in modern times - the European isatis root.
The elderberry plant has many uses.
Not only can be seen, but its skin and leaves, flowers and fruits, each of which has benefits and can be used in pharmacology…
In particular, the syrup made from elderflower is also known as a panacea in Europe and is very popular.
Xia Zuoyi took a sip, and a sweetness filled his mouth instantly, which was also full of a little bitter taste, but it could almost be concealed.
The taste is really good, and it can be used as a drink in daily life.
After all, elderflower can indeed improve human immunity and help people's health if eaten properly.
And Chebman also said at this time: "You can add a little water to your daily drinking."
"This medicinal syrup is more suitable for younger children. If the symptoms of illness include cough, runny nose, dry throat and unable to speak, please drink two spoonfuls of medicinal syrup..."
Some nobles couldn't help showing a satisfied look on their faces.
Taking medicine for children is a problem no matter where they are.
Chebman's research results are not very innovative, but they can hit the "point" that nobles are used to enjoying.
This kind of syrup is not like a botanical drug that is too bitter to swallow, and it tastes sweet and moisturizing. The most important thing is that it can indeed play a curative effect.
Xia Zuoyi can taste a little and continue to listen to him explain the second research result.
Chebman picked up a can of black liquid, then picked up a wooden box filled with paste, and said: "This is a local anesthetic, which can effectively relieve the pain of the patient, especially in terms of trauma..."
Chebman explained slowly.
On the Western Continent, there is a drug that makes people feel anesthetized. After taking it, they can immediately fall into a coma and feel nothing.
But the side effects are huge.
When people wake up, they will have persistent headaches, nausea and vomiting, and even have difficulty breathing and cannot speak.
Therefore, this drug is not even used by doctors.
The way they relieve the pain of the patient is to drink alcohol until the patient passes out before dealing with the trauma without the patient being conscious.
But generally speaking, this method of dealing with trauma is very impractical.
Chebman described local anesthetics as maintaining doses that keep the patient awake and at the same time reduce the patient's pain.
After he finished speaking, he showed how to use it.
The first is the can of black liquid.
The stewards of the Ed Chamber of Commerce obeyed the instructions of the president.
He did not know where to find a patient who happened to be injured in the leg, and brought it to the auction hall. When Chebman explained the actual operation, he ordered the servant to bring the patient to the booth.
The reason for the patient's injury was that he accidentally hit his leg by a heavy shelf that suddenly collapsed while sorting the shelves, and the broken wooden thorn pierced his thigh.
But seeing this patient's face is unbearable
With a look on his face, he could feel how painful his leg injury would be.
Chebman asked his apprentice Begin to cut out the man's trousers to reveal the injured leg - where it was simply bandaged, and the white cloth was soaked with blood.
Begin carefully lifted the white cloth.
However, no matter how light the movement was, the patient was constantly breathing in, frowning and frowning in pain.
Finally, the blood-stained fabric was uncovered, revealing a red and swollen wound with slightly everted flesh inside... The skin around the wound was also bruised and looked shocking.
Some nobles turned their heads slightly uncomfortably.
Xia Zuoyi frowned, such a wound is a bit serious.
The patient said with trembling lips: "I, my legs will not be cut off..."
Chebman: "No, don't worry."
Immediately, with the patient's slightly relaxed expression, he baked an extremely thin iron needle on a lit candle, and when the iron needle was slightly hot and discolored, he put it into a jar full of potions Dip in…
Xia Zuoyi saw Chebman use an iron needle dipped in anesthetic juice to pierce the skin around the wound on the patient's leg one by one, and then continue to dip it into the potion.
Apparently, the pain when the needle pierced the skin was unbearable for the patient.
He couldn't help clenching his teeth, his face wrinkled, his hands clenched tightly around the fabric of his clothes, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead...
Finally, this behavior was stopped.
Chebman told the patient to wait a little while before the effects appeared.
The patient nodded.
As time passed, he also felt a subtle difference—then the wrinkled face slowly loosened, the slightly shrugged shoulders calmed down…
The nobles sitting under the stage could clearly see the patient's changes.
Chebman then reached out and pressed the skin around the wound on the patient's leg: "How?"
The patient was amazed: "Why, no... I don't feel anything anymore!"
Chebman nodded in satisfaction.
Under the awe-inspiring eyes of the nobles, he took the ointment he had bought from the Thorns Merchant Guild and applied it to the wound, and then wrapped it up with a clean and soft cloth.
The patient did not leave the booth for the time being.
Chebman opened his mouth to explain the use of the second local anesthetic.
- This ointment is used for pain in the body, take out a little and apply it to the painful part of the body, the ointment is even and slightly thick, and then wrap it with a clean cloth...
After a while, you will feel the pain in your body gradually disappearing.
After listening to his story, Xia Zuoyi couldn't help shaking his head secretly.
There are drawbacks to this method of use, and the direction is completely wrong - the anesthetic paste will not make the pain in the body go away at all, and if it is used in this way for a long time, it will cause problems in the body or nerves.
But Chebman Norton's ability to develop local anesthetics is enough to demonstrate his pharmaceutical talent, but in this era without a detailed medical system, deviations are inevitable.
At times like these, a little hint and guidance can be a source of inspiration and improvement.
Xia Zuoyi could not help but pursed her lips.
He leaned forward, put his arms on the tabletop, crossed his hands on his chin, and raised his beautiful eyes at Chebman Norton - so, such an alchemist couldn't let it go.
—Using the wrong medicine is totally dangerous.
One person's research is ultimately limited.
Although the Alchemist Association has existed for a long time, the system inside is already rotten, and the alchemists are in their own way, and how talented people stay in the Alchemist Association for a long time will gradually "abolish".
It is best to form a place for alchemists and physicians to discuss with each other and concentrate on experimental research and scientific research.
For example, the Alchemy Tower in Desinia Territory.
