I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 479



Only Noblemtl

Episode 479: From now on, amyl nitrite is used for chest pain [2]

My main source of income is still diabetes treatment.

This means that most of my income comes from treating diabetes in noble families with insulin extracted from cow pancreas.

Of course, we do have surgery too… … .

It can be said that Liston has a near monopoly on arms and legs, which have relatively high unit prices.

‘That’s… of course.’

I don’t really regret it.

Because I could never do surgery like that.

No, all 21st century doctors will be like that.

It would take a very special experience to be able to stab a human body with that much force.

I think the reason Liston can do that is not only because he is a great person, but also because he has been cutting off limbs since the days before anesthesia.

Maybe in just one generation, everyone will be too weak to do that.

‘What about the rest of the surgery…?’

Appendectomy is paid (quite a lot) for the procedure.

It’s a fatal disease, but it’s a survival surgery, and it’s one of the surgeries I’m most confident in.

However, this does not mean that they are charging a lot of money to poor people.

There is no concept of equal numbers here.

In the first place, doctors do not have a monopoly on medical practice.

You idiots… … In this day and age, there are wild healers like Harry’s disciples, so I guess that says it all.

So, based on their clothing and home address, they are receiving an amount of money they can afford.

This means that the rich get more money, and the poor get less money.

“Is this… …all money?”

“Huh… … This is crazy.”

In addition, they also sell Taepyeongtang.

We also run an obesity center… … .

Yeah, there’s a lot of money coming in from there.

By 21st century standards, I probably earn several tens of billions a year.

It does go down a bit after taxes, but our British Empire has a strong respect for money earned through blood, sweat and tears, especially money earned by the rich, so it really does go down a bit.

But… … The problem is that in this day and age, if you want to live comfortably as an aristocrat, even by modern standards, the amount of money it takes is enormous.

There is no such thing as home appliances.

It just means that we have to use everyone.

“Hey, this… how do I use all this?”

“Even if we add more research funds, aren’t we crazy?”

Besides that, I also run a research institute.

You shouldn’t think in terms of 21st century standards.

During this period, the study of natural science was… …just a hobby.

Of course, things have improved a little since the Industrial Revolution, but… … .

Still, most of them are just throwing money away.

“Ugh… … .”

“Ugh… … .”

But this time, it hit the jackpot.

Actually, except for me and Liston, the rest of the group was hit with the cocaine gene last time.

When I see the money he earns, I’m honestly a little jealous.

But when you look closely?

In fact, it seems like 21st century narcos make more money.

Since this is a world without any regulations or anything, the prices aren’t that expensive.

“Amyl nitrite… … .”

“Were there that many people with chest pain… …?”

In comparison, amyl nitrite is not a problem.

It’s a real medicine.

But I had no idea it would sell this well.

As far as I know, chest pain doesn’t seem to have this much of a prevalence rate…

It’s selling so well that it’s scary.

“What do you mean, isn’t that a good thing? Cocaine, I still feel bad about that.”

“Compared to cocaine… … no, there’s no comparison. This is a really great drug.”

But I don’t think there’s any need to be afraid.

why?

This is a drug that is still used well in the 21st century.

This actually has a really good vasodilating effect.

You can overcome moderate angina with this.

Especially in these times when nitroglycerin is not stabilized at all, it should be considered as just a daily drug.

‘It seems like it’s selling better because of the side effects… … though… … .’

You might think, ‘Hey, there must be a drug that sells better because of its side effects,’ but there is.

The most famous example is Viagra.

That was originally a blood pressure medication.

No, strictly speaking, it was created as a treatment for angina.

But strangely, people keep taking medication even though their blood pressure is well controlled and they can just change their medication.

When a pharmaceutical company conducted research asking, “What is this?”, they discovered a completely unexpected side effect, and Pfizer became the multinational pharmaceutical company it is today.

‘Hallucinations… … They weren’t that bad.’

Since amyl nitrite is a real drug, I tried it too.

No, let’s say I’ve taken it because it sounds like some kind of bad medicine.

Anyway, I had that hallucination and it was just like… … .

All I could do was feel a little better and feel like I was jumping forward.

Wouldn’t this be a useful medicine in a world where there is no proper entertainment?

“Plain, plain!”

“Uh, yes?”

“What are you thinking? Shouldn’t we do something commemorative with this money?”

“Ah… … Well, that’s right. What should I do, though?”

Anyway, the money pouring in was no joke.

It was a heart medicine certified by heart shaman Kim Tae-pyeong, so it was natural that the side effect was hallucinations.

Actually, it’s not like I’m making a lot of money now, but I’m spending it lavishly and still saving up quite a bit, right?

What this means is that from now on, all the money you earn will just be saved.

Most 21st century Koreans would try to save up for retirement or something…

The 19th century had a slightly different mindset.

It’s a world where you never know when you’ll get there, but I have a strong desire to enjoy it for now.

I think this mindset is why Europeans and Americans still spend money like crazy in the 21st century without saving, anyway.

“When I actually try to do something, nothing comes to mind.”

“Me too. Um… … .”

“There is something I would rather you do.”

“yes?”

“You… … are you thinking about getting married?”

“Marriage… right?”

I couldn’t do it in my past life.

Well, that’s to be expected, since I went so early.

In fact, even if we say early, he would have been older than Liston is now or about the same age… … .

Isn’t the Republic of Korea in the 21st century a place where, after decades of development by shoving people in, the strange phenomenon of young people giving up and saying they can’t do it anymore has occurred?

Even people who are trying to do something are hearing things like, “You’re not a bachelor in your mid-30s, are you?” as the age of social entry continues to increase without end.

Are you saying that here?

I’m really getting stoned.

“Yes, marriage. No matter how I look at it, you’re not my type.”

It is a time when unmarried women are not looked down on, but not as much as the way unmarried men are looked at.

This is London, and Liston is a well-known, literally guaranteed person, so it’s a little less so…

It is usually classified as a dangerous category.

So, there are police who, once they confirm that a man is single, arrest him and put him in for a while.

What’s interesting is that the batting average is very high.

‘Well… … I’m not going to live like a debaucher like Brother Liston when I grow old.’

The same goes for those of high status.

Of course, if you are a noble or rich person, you get married.

First, get married through an arranged marriage and then play around.

If you’re someone who’s famous like Liston and has something that everyone admires, well… …you can almost see him as a Casanova.

It seems that he has not contracted syphilis again, but this is because Liston’s immunity has surpassed the limits of a human’s. That is why he was able to be cured with just stale bread.

During this time, if you play around promiscuously, you can almost, if not 100%, get syphilis.

“I do want to get married and live happily ever after. But… … I don’t have anyone I really like.”

“I think I know why.”

“What is it?”

“Actually, Nightingale… … I tried to do well because the gaze I was looking at from the beginning was not ordinary, but it wasn’t like that either.”

“I… I like people who are physically stronger than me.”

“Yes, he is strong. If he were a man, he would be a talent on par with me.”

Liston smiled fondly, perhaps recalling Nightingale’s rampage in the ward one day (beating up disobedient nurses).

It may seem strange, but in fact, in this era, if you can make the organization run well even by beating people, you are a true talent.

When they see the ward being turned over, everyone says, ‘Wow, you’re doing a good job.’

In fact, in this day and age, nurses are not only not respected, but they are also looked down upon.

‘The nightingale is great in that respect.’

The point is that it is not a job that upper class people would choose.

why?

It’s a job that’s mainly done by women.

The male-dominated nature of the Joseon Dynasty is so extreme that it makes you want to go away.

In the first place, many people think that women are unclean beings.

Besides, in the 19th century, all doctors were quacks, right?

How about a nurse?

“Anyway… … Don’t you think you want someone who looks similar to you?”

“Um… … Well, that’s fine. But we have to be able to meet.”

If you look carefully at zoos in mainland Europe, you’ll probably find them.

You may wonder what I’m talking about, but there really is such a thing as a human zoo.

It’s not like it’s run by a bunch of particularly crazy people, it’s just that the general perception is that white people are superior, and yellow and black people are inferior or maybe not even human.

“I think we might be able to meet.”

“Where… … at a real zoo?”

“What are you talking about? That’s something only the French do.”

“Well… I admit that.”

Just between us, I think French people shouldn’t badmouth China.

Especially during the Cultural Revolution of Bunseo Gangyeoni, you should keep your mouth shut.

They did the same thing.

no…….

When I heard of Lavoisier, I only knew that he was the father of modern chemistry, but I didn’t know that he was beheaded on the guillotine.

I never thought I would send someone who separated oxygen and hydrogen like that… … .

“What about this time? What did you say?”

“japan?”

“Oh, right. I heard that we could sign a peace treaty with Japan?”

“Yeah, really?”

Wasn’t that before the Meiji Restoration in Japan?

I don’t know exactly, but… … .

It feels like everything is happening faster now that Britain is stronger than it was in the original history.

Even the Opium Wars were like that.

It’s unlikely that the blue one would have been torn to pieces in one room.

Just a few decades ago, Qianlong, who claimed to be the master of mankind, was still alive and well.

“But aren’t Japan and Korea very different countries?”

“Oh, I know. I know. But don’t you… … know much more about Japan than we do?”

“I know, I know.”

19th century Japan… … .

To be honest, it is no exaggeration to say that I don’t know anything.

At best, all I’ve seen is .

But I pride myself on knowing better than the Anglo-Saxons.

These kids have no interest in any civilization other than their own.

Actually, the bridge of his nose is really high, perhaps because his nose is big.

“I originally refused. But with so much money… … This isn’t something we should be involved in, is it?”

“What about heart surgery?”

“Oh, are you going to do that?”

“No, I don’t want to do it.”

“If I told you that it was a national matter and that it couldn’t be done, would His Majesty the Prince insist on it?”

“oh…….”
