Not only Wang Laoshuan, but also Zheng Tu was not convinced by Zhao Runchun.
In Zheng Tu's view, even if he wanted to castrate the pig, he, a serious butcher, should do it. What ability could Zhao Runchun, a doctor who treated people, have?
Of course Yun Chao knew that Zheng Tu was a professional, but he still believed in Zhao Runchun more. After all, Zheng Tu had no theoretical basis and relied on practical experience. Yun Chao was really worried.
It took a lot of effort to collect such a small amount of piglets, but we couldn't let it go to waste.
Zhao Runchun knew that he couldn't escape today, so he opened the medicine box and took out the scalpel that Yun Chao had specially made for him.
Although this kind of scalpel is not as sharp as the scalpels of later generations, it also took a lot of energy from Yun Chao. For this reason, it also sacrificed part of its flexibility, making it brittle than ordinary knives.
It's fine for cutting meat, but it will break easily if it comes into contact with something hard.
Zhao Runchun has studied many wild boar carcasses and is not very familiar with the physiological structure of pigs.
"Yun Er, let someone light a candle."
Yun Chao patted his forehead: "Old Zhao, what kind of candle do you want? Just wait."
He turned around and said to the boys under his command: "One of you, go to my house and ask for the young lady to bring over the gourd hanging on my wall. By the way, get another jar of honey."
A boy named Wang Dongfeng reacted the fastest. As soon as Yun Chao finished speaking, he jumped out.
Not long after, Wang Dongfeng came back.
Taking the gourd from Wang Dongfeng, Yun Chao handed it directly to Zhao Runchun.
"Here, use it to disinfect."
"What?"
Zhao Runchun took the gourd and shook it slightly, feeling that there was liquid inside.
Yun Chao curled his lips: "You'll know if you open it yourself and take a look."
With a bang, Zhao Runchun pulled out the stopper, and a strong smell of alcohol floated out.
"Whoosh...whoosh..."
There was a sound of breathing.
Including Zhao Runchun, Wang Laosuan, Zheng Tu, the pig-raising helpers, and even the boys under Yun Chao, all twitched their noses quickly and briefly like puppies.
"Wine? What kind of wine is this? Why does it smell so good?"
Even though Zhao Runchun didn't like drinking, he still swallowed his saliva greedily.
The smell of alcohol in the gourd is so strong that it makes you feel heady just by smelling it.
Yun Chao smiled: "Old Zhao, this is a high-end gadget I made specially for you. It's not wine, it's alcohol. Use it to wipe scalpels and wounds on wounded people. It can be disinfected and is better than burning with flames."
Yun Chao had already explained the concept of disinfection to Zhao Runchun, but he didn't mention alcohol.
First, the brewing technology of the Dawu Dynasty was relatively backward and could not brew medical alcohol that met the standards.
The second is confidentiality.
Yun Chao did not have such a noble moral character, and he had no intention of spreading the knowledge about distilling wine easily.
According to what Yun Chao learned, it seems that the Dawu Dynasty did not have the technology to distill alcohol, at least not in the Dongping Prefecture area.
As for whether it exists elsewhere, Yunchao doesn't know.
So far, the technology of distilling liquor is still classified as a secret by Yun Chao, but he has not had time to develop it on a large scale yet, and is planning to wait until he becomes stronger before doing this.
The lack of large-scale development does not mean that Yunchao will not conduct experiments.
After recruiting two coppersmiths from Dongping Mansion, the first task Yun Chao gave them was to build a set of copper distillation equipment.
Don't underestimate a simple set of distilling equipment, but it can put two coppersmiths in trouble.
Just those long, thin and curved pipes made the two coppersmiths rack their brains.
It needs to be airtight and even in texture. Fortunately, the skills of the two coppersmiths are decent, otherwise it would really be impossible to play with.
The craftsmen who could come to the countryside with Yun Chao had high skills, but they were just craftsmen with average skills.
Yun Chao asked them to build distillation equipment, firstly for experimentation, and secondly to let them practice their skills, gain experience, and practice leveling in order to prepare for the next project.
Yun Chao often has to participate in battles, so it is impossible for Yun Chao to let go of alcohol and not study.
I remember someone said that a veteran is worth far more than several recruits.
Especially veterans who have been injured on the battlefield, once they recover from their injuries, they become even more powerful and can easily become the backbone of the army.
In order to distill qualified medical alcohol, Yun Chao went through a lot of trouble.
Either the heat is not controlled well, or the cooling is not controlled well.
The distilled wine pulp is either too low in degree or too volatile.
After many failures and repeated trials, we finally came up with such a gourd of alcohol.
At this point, Yun Chao also felt that the alcohol content seemed not enough, and it should not have reached the 75% concentration required for medical alcohol.
Unfortunately, with the current technology, Yun Chao can only distill this kind of alcohol, and this is the result of repeated distillation many times.
For this reason, Yun Chao spent a lot of wine pulp. There was no way, the technology was too backward. It took more than ten kilograms of raw wine to distill almost one kilogram of alcohol.
Zhao Runchun was doubtful. If he hadn't seen so many magical things about Yun Chao, he would never have believed that wine could be used for disinfection.
Being able to use a flame to burn surgical instruments is already a very particular thing about Zhao Runchun.
These days, many doctors don't even burn the needle when inserting it. As soon as it is pulled out of Zhang San's body, it is inserted into Li Si again.
Not to mention ancient times, even when Yun Chao was a child in his previous life, he had seen unscrupulous doctors in his hometown.
The needle is not sterilized at all, and it is inserted directly through clothes. Can you believe it?
Zhao Runchun poured a little alcohol from the gourd, resisted the urge to taste it, and gently wiped the scalpel with a boiled cloth dipped in alcohol.
Then, at Yun Chao's request, he wiped the balls of a piglet with a cotton cloth dipped in alcohol, and then opened the piglet's scrotum with a knife.
Zhao Runchun really did not dissect so many corpses in vain. His technique was not ordinary. The size of the opening was moderate. With just a slight squeeze, one of the piglet's balls was squeezed out.
With a slight stroke of the scalpel, the balls fell off.
Then with another gentle squeeze, another ball came out again.
With another stroke of the scalpel, the little piglet turned into a "eunuch".
Seeing this, Yun Chao looked around and almost didn't laugh.
Many people subconsciously cross their legs, wondering what they are feeling at this moment. Will it leave any psychological shadow?
After removing the two testicles of the piglet, Zhao Runchun applied some yellow powder to the wound instead of using Yun Chao's honey.
Just kidding, I am the number one doctor in Qingyang County. I don’t use the best gold wound medicine, but also use the earthy method of smearing honey. If word spreads, aren’t I afraid that my colleagues will laugh out loud?
