The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 67- 68

　　Chapter 67 Reference Book

　　The first antibiotic discovered in the world was penicillin.

　　More than ten years later, in 1928, a British bacteriologist first discovered penicillin. After more than ten years, penicillin was finally extracted and began to be used clinically.

　　In his previous life, Mu Qiong wrote a novel called "Super Bacteria". At that time, this novel was about the consequences of overuse of antibiotics. Because of this, he checked a lot of information related to antibiotics, and even found a laboratory to try to cultivate penicillin.

　　What he did was just the most basic cultivation. He didn't know exactly how to extract and make medicine, but he believed that as long as someone was willing to invest manpower and material resources, they would be able to research it.

　　This country is a country full of miracles.

　　Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the drug penicillin was not supplied to their country at the beginning, but when they introduced it later... In just over a year, their country was able to produce penicillin by itself.

　　Mu Qiong is now afraid that Huo Er Shao will not believe it.

　　And if you want Huo Ershao to believe, you can only hope in the "I'm in a Hundred Years Later" written by him.

　　Speaking of which, when he wrote this novel, his original intention was to popularize modern medical knowledge and modern concepts through this novel, and...to tell others that there are miraculous drugs like antibiotics in this world.

　　The novel was a hook, and he hoped that someone would study antibiotics after reading it.

　　He even planned to write the method of breeding antibiotics he knew into the novel.

　　But if Huo Ershao is willing to cooperate with him, then he doesn't have to do this, and can directly hand it over to Huo Ershao for research.

　　After Mu Qiong sent the letter and manuscript, he went home.

　　It's already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and many shops are open. Farmers around Shanghai have begun to sell vegetables from their fields in the city again... Zhu Wanwan bought a grass carp several kilograms home, and made braised fish for Mu Qiong and Mu Changyu eats.

　　In modern times, when you go to the supermarket to buy freshwater fish, everyone buys live fish, but it is not easy to buy live fish at this time, and only small crucian carp may be kept in buckets and sold alive.

　　As for dead fish, steaming it is not so delicious, but braised it is fine.

　　Zhu Wanwan is very good at cooking fish. Sugar and vinegar are put into the braised fish. The thick fish soup is especially delicious when used with rice.

　　After eating and drinking enough, Mu Qiong took the short English essay that he had written and fully annotated to the Commercial Press.

　　Today is the first day of work for the Commercial Press after the new year, and everyone is still lazy. When Mu Qiong entered, he saw many people chatting.

　　He went to Zhang Che's place familiarly.

　　"Why is Mr. Mu here free? Is "Seeking a Doctor" coming to an end?" Zhang Che's eyes fell on the stack of manuscript papers held by Mu Qiong, with anticipation in his eyes.

　　Some people who subscribe to newspapers to pass the time don't like to read the book "Seeking a Doctor", but literati, presumably, are willing to buy a copy and read it carefully at home.
