367 Borscht
Ning Yue felt that even if someone wanted to steal the liquid medicine to study it, they would not be able to figure out anything.
She poured a suitable amount of medicine and fed it to Yuan Hui. Her actions were not gentle, but they were not rude.
The imperial physicians were shocked. Nine out of ten cups of medicine they fed Yuan Hui were spat out.
They had no choice but to get someone to brew ten cups of medicine. If they fed them all together, he would eventually drink enough.
Seeing how skilled Ning Yue was at feeding him medicine, the imperial physicians wanted to go forward and ask her what techniques she had, but they did not dare.
Seeing the imperial physicians hesitate to speak, Ning Yue sighed.
Actually, these imperial physicians were not wrong. It was just that medical skills in ancient times were not developed, so they were ignorant and thought of covering people with blankets.
Sweat could cool the heat, but heating up the body would only make things worse.
Ning Yue pretended to take out a thermometer from her bag, but in fact, she took it out of her space and gave it to these imperial physicians.
“This is a gadget my master gave me. It can measure a person’s temperature. The normal temperature is between 36°C and 37.3°C.”
Ning Yue taught the imperial physicians about thermometers and body temperature. She told them about low-heat, medium-heat, high-heat, and ultra-high-heat.
The imperial physicians were enlightened. For the first time, they found out that fever could not be reduced by sweating. This was also the first time they realized that there was so much to learn about human temperature.
Ning Yue did not want to hide anything and even told the imperial physician some common sense.
One of the imperial physicians saw that Ning Yue was easy to talk to and asked boldly, “Princess, what medicine did you give the Russian Emperor? His fever has already subsided.”
While Ning Yue was explaining to them, he had just checked Yuan Hui’s pulse. The fever had already subsided a little.
By the time Ning Yue finished explaining, Yuan Hui no longer had a fever.
“This is a medicine specially made by my master. I don’t know what ingredients are in it either. Unfortunately, I only have this left. Otherwise, I could have given some to everyone,” Ning Yue said.
It was not because Ning Yue was stingy, but because the fever medicine was not easy to store. Before the medicine was opened, it could be placed in a shady place.
After the medicine was opened, it needed to be stored in the fridge. Fortunately, there was a fridge in her space. The medicine she had prescribed would be in the fridge.
How could there be a refrigerator in ancient times? If she handed the medicine to this group of imperial physicians, she was afraid that it would not be stored properly.
It was a small matter for it to lose its medicinal effect if it was not stored properly. She was afraid that the medicinal effect would deteriorate and people would be sick after eating it.
Since Ning Yue had already said so, what else could the imperial physicians say? They couldn’t forcefully snatch the medicine from Ning Yue’s hand, right? They were imperial physicians, not bandits, so they didn’t dare to do this.
While they were talking, Yuan Hui woke up. His head hurt badly. Ning Yue hurriedly went forward to ask him about his health.
“I just feel light-headed and hungry,” Yuan Hui said.
Knowing that he was hungry was good. Ning Yue was in a good mood. “Don’t eat anything too much when you’re sick. Eat something light.”
With that, she got someone to prepare porridge and side dishes.
Seeing that Yuan Hui had woken up, the imperial physicians were very indignant. They still wanted to stay at Ning Yue’s house and continue to discuss some medical problems with her.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ying did not give them a chance and sent them away.
Fortunately, they had received a thermometer from Ning Yue, which made them very happy.
“These imperial physicians just want to ask me some medical questions. Why do you have to chase them away? It’s still early in the morning. You can let them leave in the afternoon,” Ning Yue said with a smile.
“No, a large group of people will stay here and waste rice!” Jiang Ying casually found an excuse.
Actually, he felt that although Ning Yue was not as serious as Yuan Hui, she was also poisoned. He was just worried about Ning Yue’s health.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ll cook something delicious for you tonight.” Ning Yue smiled and entered the kitchen to see what other ingredients there were.
In the end, she realized that there were only some vegetables in the kitchen. There was no meat.
“Jiang Ying, I’m going out to buy some ingredients. What do you want to eat? Help me ask Uncle what he wants to eat for dinner.”
“Okay!” Jiang Ying replied.
After asking Yuan Hui, he told Ning Yue, “Yueyue, Uncle said he wants to drink borscht.”
“Huh?” Ning Yue was stunned. The main ingredients of borscht were onions and round cabbages. Round cabbages were fine as they were also sold in this era.
However, onions did not exist in this era. They were imported from Central Asia and West Asia.
