The Age of Discovery: Chinese cuisine swept across Europe

Min Xi and Yun Ji hurried to see the injured crew member. His left tibia was broken by the crocodile. Fortunately, the leg was not bitten off by the crocodile, but there were deep teeth marks on the leg. Doctor Qiao had also treated him and applied medicine.

But the leg bone may have been bitten off, and there is no way to perform surgery to clean up the broken bones. Even if it heals in the future, the leg may not be as healthy as a normal person. The biggest problem now is that he is still in danger of death, with a high fever and is now in a coma. Although the wound from the crocodile bite has been treated, the victim has obviously been infected, and his leg is swollen and thicker than his waist.

"Doctor Qiao, give him the best medicine and make sure to save him." Min Xi said.

Yun Ji took out the pills he had brought with him and asked, "Doctor Qiao, will the medicine I brought here be useful to him?"

Doctor Qiao sighed and said, "I have treated his wounds and used the best medicine. The pills you brought are extremely precious and are not completely suitable for the patient's condition."

Yun Ji reached out and touched the patient, who was hot. "Angong Niuhuang Pills and Zhibao Pills both have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. He has a fever now. Give them to him. They can reduce the fever."

Min Xi also said: "Doctor Qiao, give him medicine. No matter what, we must do our best to save his life."

Doctor Qiao nodded when he heard this. Zhibao Pills and Angong Niuhuang Pills are extremely precious and can be said to be life-saving medicines. It can be said that it is a blessing for this crew member that the two adults are willing to use them to treat an ordinary crew member.

Doctor Qiao took a pill of Zhibao Dan sealed with beeswax from Yun Ji, crushed it, added water, and pried open the patient's mouth to give him the pill.

Min Xi then washed the finger oranges, mashed them into juice, and fed them to the patient. The patient was in a critical state and needed physical strength and nutrition to fight the virus, so vitamin supplementation was very necessary.

The day they found the crocodile, they arranged for someone to come back and report the news, but it was still too late. When they came back, they found that the crew member was already injured. The crocodiles here can not only live in fresh water, but also in sea water. The crocodile obviously regarded the crew member as prey.

Min Xi blamed himself very much. It was his negligence. He forgot that there were large crocodiles in Australia. When they landed in the northwest, it was the dry season and the river was almost dry. No crocodiles were found in the river. They might be living in the mud at the bottom of the river, or they might have migrated to the sea.

Moreover, no crocodiles were found in Taylor Bay, so he neglected it. This is the result.

Yun Ji listened to him blaming himself, and put his arm around his shoulders to comfort him: "This is not your fault. You are not omniscient and omnipotent."

Min Xi lowered his head and shook it: "It was my negligence. I didn't think there were crocodiles here. If I had remembered it earlier, I would have reminded everyone to be more careful."

"Didn't we find any crocodiles along the way? Even if we informed everyone in advance, there is no guarantee that someone won't be careless and cause an accident. Don't worry, Zhao Shun will be fine." Yun Ji raised his hand and touched his head.

"can you?"

"Yes!" Yun Ji said firmly.

I don’t know if it was the effect of the precious pill, but the next day, Zhao Shun’s high fever had subsided, and he woke up from his coma.

Doctor Qiao took his pulse and said that he had passed the critical moment of life and death and needed to be well recuperated. However, it was hard to say to what extent his leg could recover.

Yun Ji asked Doctor Qiao: "Do you need to take another Zhibao Pill?"

Doctor Qiao shook his head: "Not for the time being, those medicines are very precious, they are life-saving medicines, keep them for emergency use."

Zhao Shun came back from a near-death experience only to learn that he might become a cripple. The grown man cried like a child. His family depended on him as a laborer. If he became crippled, how would he support his parents, wife, and children?

Yun Ji said to him, "Zhao Shun, don't be too sad. Take good care of your injury. If your leg becomes lame, I will compensate you and provide for you for the rest of your life."

Min Xi said at the side: "Zhao Shun, the boss has already made a promise to you, and I have witnessed it for you. I will not treat you unfairly in the future. Don't think too much. What you need most now is to take good care of your injuries and recover soon."

The discovery of the gold mine was originally a happy event, but the crew was bitten by a crocodile, which overshadowed the happy event. Min Xi and Yun Ji were in no mood to talk about the discovery of the gold mine until Zhao Shun was out of danger, then they mentioned it.

Although Min Xi and Yun Ji did not officially announce it to everyone, everyone had basically heard about it from other people, and everyone was very happy. At least this trip was fruitful and Zhao Shun's leg was not wasted.

However, their purpose this time was to find gold mines, not to mine them. Later, Captain Reis would bring the people from the Yunxiang to mine the gold mines. Of course, if other companies were willing to come along, they could also come, as long as they paid taxes according to the quantity.

"Since we have discovered gold mines here, does that mean our mission is accomplished and we can go back?" someone asked expectantly.

Min Xi glanced at the other party and did not directly answer his question: "This time when we went out, we not only discovered gold mines, but also found a kind of fruit. Please see, this fruit is called finger lime, and its function is similar to that of lemon. It can supplement the nutrients needed by our body and will not cause scurvy. There are finger limes here, and we want to pick more to bring on board."

Yun Ji said: "It's not easy for Lord Min and I to come out. We finally found a new continent, so we want to continue exploring to see if we can find more."

When he said this, some people showed obvious disappointment on their faces. They had been away from home for too long, and Australia was too poor. Everyone's life was very difficult, and they all wanted to return to Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. But the two envoys were obviously not ready to go back, so they could only sigh helplessly.

Min Xi saw this and felt helpless. How could they cross the Pacific Ocean to South America? He shook his head, shook off those thoughts, and said, "Let's go pick finger oranges today. Once we pick enough finger oranges, we'll set off."

So for the next two days, they searched for finger oranges along the river. Although there were not as many as expected, they still picked some.

After preparing supplies, they set out on a journey to continue their exploration.

Zhao Shun's condition has improved significantly. He learned that it was his boss who spent dozens of taels of silver to make a precious pill to save him, and he was filled with gratitude to Yun Ji.

The fact that Yun Ji used the precious medicine to save people also gave great comfort to the crew members and naval officers and soldiers who were traveling with him. At least the two adults still attached great importance to everyone's life and death and would not easily abandon anyone's life. They were still trustworthy.
