Chapter 0248 Daily life with fiancee
In 1929, Fleming published a research paper "On the bactericidal effect of mold culture" in the "British Journal of Experimental Pathology", but it did not attract people's attention.
And he could not invent a technology for purifying penicillin by himself, so the matter was left there.
When Adelaide visited St. Mary's Medical College, an inadvertent conversation with Fleming reminded him of this accidental discovery.
So, after tentatively asking Her Royal Highness the Princess, the other party warmly invited him to visit the United States.
And promised that her fiancé, the Chinese Marquis, would give him the help he wanted.
"The Marquis has a medical laboratory with advanced equipment under his name, and he also acquired the entire Pfizer." Adelaide's promise made Fleming determined.
But before meeting Li Zitao, he never thought that he would receive such strong support.
"I will have someone send you to the laboratory. You will be solely responsible for the purification and mass production of penicillin.
Whether you need manpower or funds, someone will arrange everything for you.”
After putting Alexander Fleming, who was a little confused about the situation, into the car, Li Zitao returned home and called the laboratory.
"Mike, prepare a new agreement. The patent is mine, and the other party can get 10% of the net profit. That's right."
The patent for penicillin must be obtained. The profits of the antibiotic market in the future will be terrible, even if I bring in someone who can't cure it, I can tell you a lot.
Amoxicillin was so popular back then that it almost caused headaches and fever, and this name must be on the prescription.
How crazy were the cephalosporins later? A box of the most common ones cost more than 30 yuan, and the more expensive ones cost 60 or 70 yuan. It seems like no one has tasted a few tablets.
"Do you know about penicillin?" Back in the room, Adelaide looked at him seriously. Her fiancé's previous behavior was not what he said.
"Pfizer has been conducting research on antibiotics, so I was so excited when I learned that Fleming was the one who discovered it."
Whether Pfizer has conducted research on penicillin or not is not just a sentence from him, Li Zitao could only use this sentence to explain it at the moment.
You can't tell her, "Your fiancé has traveled back from another planet in the future, and I used to use penicillin when I was a kid."
"Come and see my pet." Seeing that Adelaide stopped asking, Li Zitao pulled her to the corner with a smile.
There is a hanging ring specially made for 'Jin', so that it can step on it and rest.
There is an artificial bird's nest on the wall next to it, whichever it likes. The ration of 40 pounds a day is more than the expenses of a servant.
As for the six Brazilian Phileas, they can no longer be described as "small". Their heads are almost bigger than calves.
The body is covered with strong muscle lines, a long snout, sagging skin, and a thick and large head. The overall impression is that it is fierce and burly.
"They grow up too fast." Adelaide said with some surprise after seeing six Philodendrons in the converted kennel behind the house.
"Yes, Your Highness, they perform very well. The ordinary Brazilian Fila breed is not as strong as them when they are 6 months old."
The breeder was also surprised, but more excited. The puppies were raised so strong and perfect in his hands, which will be of great help to his future income and reputation.
"This proves that you are an excellent animal trainer." Li Zitao smiled appropriately.
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty the Marquis." The breeder lowered his head and said.
"Okay, let me take a look at them." After squatting down with one leg bent, Li Zitao clapped his hands to Xiao Liu at the front of the row.
"Come here, Xiao Liu." Hearing his master's call, Xiao Liu came to him firmly but slowly, then sat down and looked at him.
"Xiaoqi, come here." Li Zitao called the other dogs to come to him. In the process, Adelaide had obvious worry in his eyes.
These large dogs, which were once used to hunt jaguars, are not gentle pets. Their closed mouths are big enough to bite off a person's head when opened.
Fortunately, under Li Zitao's command, they behaved very obediently, which surprised her a little.
"It looks like you trained them well." On the way back, Adelaide looked at him funny.
When we were having fun with them just now, Li Zitao, who was rolling and jumping on the ground, behaved like a naughty child.
"They naturally obey their master's orders, but they are wary of strangers." After spending some time together, Li Zitao got to know them better.
"Can't you keep some normal pets? Like Bengal cats, or British shorthair cats." Adelaide was a little troubled by her fiancé's hobbies.
"I like strong hunters, not pets for viewing." These six Brazilian Phileas, four males and two females.
When they mature and reproduce, Li Zitao will send their offspring to SHIELD to become loyal helpers of SHIELD security.
In the words of the trainer, "When they reach adulthood, there will never be a better or stronger dog than them."
"Sir, Your Highness, lunch is ready." First manservant Dan came over.
"Dan." Adelaide glanced at her fiancé beside her and said softly: "I hope that at home, I can hear you being addressed as Madam, not Your Highness."
"Okay, madam." Dan nodded and glanced at Li Zitao calmly. After noticing that he was still smiling, he happily agreed.
Lunch was very sumptuous, including Li Zitao’s favorite lamb chops and cream soup, as well as lobster salad and grilled pike cut into triangular pieces.
The shrimp meat is plump and chewy, and is even more delicious when paired with a salad.
The pike without any dipping sauce tastes more fresh and tender, and the taste comes entirely from itself, which is enough to be praised.
There is also the Belon rice that was just delivered early in the morning. Everyone in the family knows that it is Li Zitao’s favorite food.
Squeeze a little lemon juice and it will be so smooth and refreshing that it will make people move their index fingers.
Finally, there is an authentic Y-style dish, stewed conger eel.
It is said that when the great Henry I was alive, his favorite dish was this dish, and he would eat it until he was full every time.
What makes Li Zitao feel weird is the ingredients used in this dish.
Cloves, cinnamon, saffron, red dates, and some unknown things that looked like medicinal materials, Li Zitao thought to himself, "I just need to sprinkle some wolfberry."
"Dan." Hearing Li Zitao's call, Dan took a step forward and leaned in to his ear.
"Are these Maine lobsters and oysters still available?" Li Zitao asked.
"Yes, but the quantity is not large. If you need it, I will tell Butler Hogg and ask him to increase the order appropriately."
Daily necessities, cream, butter, flour, etc., all have a certain amount of storage.
But vegetables, seafood, meat, etc. are all shipped fresh every day, especially seafood.
"No, you just need to tell the kitchen to add those to your lunch." Dan was slightly startled when he heard Li Zitao say this.
Then he nodded and said, "Okay, sir."
