But the problem is, it’s not popular.

Unlike modern people, almost everyone knows that drinking more hot water will help you get better faster when you have a cold.

The current conditions in the army include a lack of medicinal materials. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. Without medicinal materials, Tian Bu has no good way to treat patients.

Drinking hot water is a popular method nowadays.

You need to tell Tian Bu about this method.

After thinking about it, Li Mengxi told him the method.

"If you have a cold and a cold, just drink more hot water. One person drinks four large bowls of hot water and keeps sweating. If you sweat too much, the cold may be cured." Li Mengxi said seriously.

Tian Bu looked at Li Mengxi with wide eyes. He had never heard that water could cure diseases.

However, when I think about the medicines for treating wind and cold, sometimes some sweating medicines are added. Would it be useful to just sweat without medicines?

Tian Bu had a sudden idea.

And because the method comes from Li Mengxi’s mouth, the credibility will not be low.

Therefore, Tian Bu made up his mind that if someone comes to see a doctor again, if he has a cold, he will give him hot water and drink as much as he can.

Anyway, hot water is free.

"Another one is to roast fresh bamboo on the fire, drain the juice and drink it, which can also cure wind and cold." Li Mengxi taught Tian Bu another method.

Compared with drinking hot water, the method of draining fresh bamboo juice seems to be much more reliable.

Tian Bu plans to give it a try.

The three of them were talking.

"Brother, do you think the candy is ready?" Xiao Zhuan was already dozing off from waiting. In order to eat the candy, he suppressed his drowsiness and waited for a long time.

Li Mengxi and Guan Yu hurriedly looked into the clay pot. Fortunately, they looked in time. The sugar water in the clay pot was extremely viscous and exuded a slight mushy smell. After a while, it would be completely mushy.

Quickly remove the clay pot.

Seeing how busy Guan Yu was at this time, Li Mengxi realized that Guan Yu might not be very good at making maltose.

When boiling maltose, when it is almost boiled, you must use a shovel to turn it over, otherwise the bottom part will definitely be mushy.

"Brother, can I eat it?" Xiao Bian looked at the contents in the jar eagerly, almost drooling.

Regarding maltose, Li Mengxi had a not-so-good memory. When he was a child, he bought maltose, softened it over a fire and ate it. Then because of his gluttony, he started eating it too quickly, and his tongue was so hot that it hurt.

Hot syrup is dangerous.

Afraid of scalding his brother, Li Mengxi took the chopsticks and stirred them in the clay pot for a while until the candy cooled down and changed from soft to semi-hard, stirring up a large lump of candy.

My childhood seems to be back. When I was a kid, the old man who took out sweets outside the iron gate of the school used two sticks to stir the sweets like this.

"Here!" Li Mengxi handed the candy to his brother.

"Brother, you eat it!" The younger brother was very sensible and let Li Mengxi eat it first.

Li Mengxi took a small lick and said, wow, it's really delicious and sweet.

Li Mengxi took a bite and gave the rest to his younger brother.

Then because it was getting late, Li Mengxi took his brother back to sleep.

"Tian Bu, I'll leave the sugar here for you. There will be some left after you use it up."

After the sugar was made, Li Mengxi and his brother took a little bit and kept the rest for medicinal purposes.

Guan Yu wanted to scoop some more for his brothers, but he decided not to do it. It was difficult to make sugar. The wounded barracks continued to use sugar because human life was still important.

Asked about the unconscious wounded soldier, Tian Bu shook his head. The wounded soldier was still unconscious, but his pulse was fine.

It is a miracle that a person who has been unconscious for such a long time without eating or drinking can continue to live.

Guan Yu specifically took a look at the unconscious wounded soldier and saw that the wounded soldier's eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.

Guan Yu told him to keep a close eye on him in case anyone wakes up.

Tian Bu said yes.

Here, Li Mengxi took his younger brother back to sleep. The younger brother happily ate all the candy in a chopstick and said he was dozing off after eating.

Let his brother sleep first, and Li Mengxi jotted down some of the knowledge he gained today.

First, the maltose production method is known. When watching Guan Yu making sweetmeats, he discovered three areas where the process could be improved.

The first point is that after the malt is broken, it can be soaked in hot water to dissolve the sugar. The second point is that when boiling sugar, it is more efficient to use a pan. The third point is that when boiling sugar, when the sugar water becomes viscous,

You must stir-fry back and forth with a spatula, otherwise the sugar will easily burn.

In addition, there were some technical problems when making soap. I made soapy water but failed to make solid soap.

Also, the idea of ​​​​sulfur soap to enhance the sterilizing ability of soap.

Also, after heavy rains and when the weather changes suddenly, people are prone to colds. In ancient times, it was different from later generations, and flu must be dealt with carefully.

From this, there are two ways to treat influenza, one is fresh bamboo juice, and the other is drinking hot water.

There are five in total.
