Chapter 154: accident

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Four
The results were announced soon, but they did not cause much sensation.
It was an accident that Liu Gong's apprentice could not get the first place. No matter what thoughts he had before, everyone said the same in the face of this result.
In a side hall, Master Dong looked at Gu Lingyun with a look of surprise.
"...Very..." Gu Lingyun said lightly, "...everyone is very...including me..."
"In other words, the four medicines she made are indeed perfect..." Master Dong murmured.
As if he was reluctant to admit this result, Gu Lingyun's expression was a bit heavy.
"As far as these four drugs are concerned, it is true." He nodded slowly.
The first thing doesn't matter, the key is full marks. All ten people scored such high scores, and Master Dong felt like he was overwhelmed.
These four medicines are indeed very simple, but they include picking, rubbing, rubbing and moisturizing in repairing, scouring, leaching and bleaching in water, and frying, simmering and baking in fire. This is the basic skills. Powerful test.
Others only saw that she was Liu Gong's apprentice. This result was nothing strange, but for Master Dong, the shock was great.
"After only taking it for more than a year, she has been able to reach this point..." Master Dong murmured.
"Her talent is beyond doubt..." Gu Lingyun said faintly, a smile flashed in his eyes, "The old guy loves people with extraordinary talents the most. At this point, he won't look away...just..."
His voice suddenly added a bit of chill.
"The old guy's luck has been exhausted in decades, so bad luck is always hard to escape..." He said slowly, tapping the smooth table top with his fingers lightly, "It was the same last time, this time Still so, although this girl has a good talent, after all, her wings have not grown hard, and without the of the old bird, it is destined..."
When he said this, he picked up a piece of Morinda citrifolia scattered on the table, grabbed it into his palm, and opened his hand again, crumbly falling down.
"Master, Gong Liu is really..." Master Dong raised his head again and asked.
"He is dead." Gu Lingyun uttered three words simply.
"He should have died..." he added slowly, a sneer appeared on his lips, "I didn't expect him to survive so long..."
There was a rebutting knock outside the door, and the two immediately stopped talking.
"Master, Mr. Qi invites you to go. It's time to draw the second game..." the outsider said respectfully.
When Gu Shiba Niang rubbed her sour neck and appeared in front of everyone again, the gaze that fell on her implied awe and curiosity. Of course, jealousy was inevitable, but the doubt and contempt finally faded a lot.
"I'll just say, how could Lady Gu lose" Xin Chaoling said vaguely, sitting under the side hallway with her legs folded, opening her mouth to catch the candied fruit handed by the charming maidservant beside her, not forgetting the tenderness of her tongue. Fingers like green onions drew a smile from the maidservant.
Xin Chaoyang's gaze fell on Gu Shiba Niang who was talking with Wang Yizhang and others not far away, but his expression did not surprise him.
"Brother," Xin Chaoling looked over, "Ms. Gu won, why are you not at all excited? Look at the kid from Hengdesheng Medicine Store over there, his mouth is almost crooked. It's only thirty-eight..."
Hi, of course, but the key is that this number one will not belong to them soon...
Xin Chaoyang retracted his gaze and glanced at him, "I know the result, what's so exciting."
"Not afraid to laugh, the old man is really sweating..." Wang Yizhang laughed.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, but did not speak.
Someone snorted.
"With a master as powerful as Gong Liu, anyone can win." Wang Jin said coldly.
Gu Bainiang was used to this young man's stinky face.
"Stand to the side" Wang Yizhang glared at him, then whispered.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Liu won the second place" Wang Jin didn't start, but said with some pride, and made a threatening look at Gu Shiba Niang.
This time he scored ninety points for the second time. He was a man named Liu Huan from Jianning Mansion. He was only thirty years old and he was also a famous pharmaceutical artist.
Gu Shiba-niang also took a little respect for this achievement at this age. Looking around, there are more pharmacists with gray hair who are still eliminated.
It's nothing great to have the same skill, but it's not easy to be the best in the line.
After this big drug conference, pharmacists who have achieved good results will definitely be sought after by the drug dealers. After all, the more good pharmacists that can be caged, the greater the profit of the medicine industry. Since it is a business, it is natural to pursue profit. This is understandable.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, but still did not speak.
"The second drug match will be announced soon, so Lady Gu will go and rest soon." Wang Yizhang said, a little embarrassed on his face.
Gu Shiba Niang nodded, and walked over to Lingbao, who was standing by and waiting with a pot of soup.
"Grandpa," Wang Jin grabbed Wang Yizhang's sleeve, "If there are too many good pharmacists, why do we need to associate with this ungrateful person? This time, Master Liu will definitely become famous in one fell swoop. We might as well..."
"You know what a fart" Wang Yizhang glared at him, throwing off his sleeves and walking away.
Wang Jin was used to being scolded, he shrugged his shoulders and looked around, and finally saw a tall and thin man surrounded by a group of people.
"Master Liu, Master Liu..." Wang Jin managed to squeeze away the flattering person, stood beside the man, and repeated with a smile the compliments that the people around him had already said.
Although Gu Shiba-niang won the first place, her master's name is too big, but she has no brilliance. In contrast, she won the second place. Master's willow style is not one of the top ten pharmacists. First.
"Don't dare, the kid is just a fluke." Liu Kuan also repeated this polite remark.
"What luck, Lord Liu is the number one..." Wang Jin smiled.
"Master Wang said and laughed," Liu Kuan was a little worried and uncomfortable, looking at Gu Shiba Niang over there, "Gu Niangzi is the number one..."
"She?" Wang Jin snorted, "She is lucky, but she is lucky than Master Liu. There is a good master..." He lowered his voice, "Who can't recognize Gong Liu's craftsmanship, maybe it is those The scorer gave her face..."
Liu Kuan's expression moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the young girl's face over there.
In fact, she is really too young, and I heard that the apprenticeship is very short...
"Furthermore, the first match was the basic skills... It didn't take long for her to be a teacher, so she was naturally practicing the basic skills..." Wang Jin was still whispering in her ears, "...If you really make medicine, maybe how... The next game is a finished medicine competition... Then it depends on the real skills of the pharmacist... I don’t believe that those who scored can take care of Liu Gong’s face again and again without being fair... Those medicines have to be presented. For everyone to taste..."
Liu Kuan's eyes flashed and flashed, and the hands under his sleeves were tightly clenched together, no wonder he always felt that something was wrong... Maybe.. really... so.....
"It's a blessing to be able to discuss with Lady Gu usually..." With a bit of joy, he surrendered to Wang Jin, "Thank you, Master Wang for your kind words..."
Right, don't lose your fighting spirit because of the master's name. Wang Jin is very happy to see how encouraging his words are.
"Liu Ye must be the leader in this scene," he laughed with a confident expression, and then whispered again, "...the cooperation with our Baohetang..."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Liu Kuan said with a smile, interrupting him.
It’s ridiculous to just want a promise of a pharmacist who is about to become famous. It’s ridiculous to know that as a famous pharmacist, the most important thing is nice words.
With a long bell ringing, the noisy crowd calmed down.
"Competitive medicine, the second game, with seven Xiangfu pills."
Before the sound fell, there was a loud noise in the audience.
"What Shichi-made Xiangfu Pills"
"Oh my God, I can make xiangfu in such a short time. It's still seven systems."
Seeing that all the pharmacists who were originally smug about winning the second game suddenly became a little excited, Lingbao Asi and the others were very puzzled.
"Ha, it turned out to be seven-made Xiangfu pills" Peng Yizhen already said, very excited, "I have to stand closer and take a look..."
"Miss, is this difficult?" Lingbao asked.
Gu Shiba Niang's look is not very good here, this big medicine club, as expected, is not a casual play...
"Difficult? It's more difficult." Peng Yizhen took the conversation and smiled, shaking his head. "This Xiangfu pill needs nineteen herbs to prepare, and the ingredients are different, including wine, ginger, soil, and honey. , Vinegar, using washing, steaming, frying, broiling, soaking, boiling..."
He said this and looked at Lingbao, "Do you know why this is called Qizhixiangfuwan."
The fourth class of Lingbao A was already stupid by his words, and shook his head in a daze.
"As the name suggests, these seven methods are about using seven methods to prepare xiangfu. In this day and one night, seven methods must be used to prepare xiangfu, and the nineteen ingredients must be prepared..." Peng A needle stroked the blessed belly and talked about the rise, and suddenly saw Gu Shiba Niang on the side, and suddenly smiled embarrassedly, "...I'm the classmate..."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, "Mr. Peng is really knowledgeable and talented."
Peng Yizheng smiled and touched his head, "I have heard people talk about it, but I have never seen it. Anyway, I have been practicing medicine for so long, and I have not used the seven-made Xiangfu pills once, and it is only four. The system... However, to Lady Gu, the system is nothing."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled bitterly, "It's hard to say, do your best, this medicine is too..."
Her mind is full of various pill preparation methods, but when it comes to her own practice, there are only three out of ten. This is the effect of age on the pharmacists.
She only made this xiangfu pill once with four or seven systems. . . .
"Which guy wrote this medicine?" At this time, in the Palace of Medicine King, several pharmacists were also examining each other, but these old pharmacists were already used to hiding their emotions. After looking around, no one could see who it was.
Seven-made Xiangfu Pills are the most test of the craftsmanship of the pill. The meticulous workmanship is extremely complicated. In the past, the pill configuration of this level only appeared during the battle.
It seems that because of the appearance of Liu Gong's disciple, the level of this competition has suddenly improved. The competition has been like this, so I don't know what is more powerful in the fighting. . . . . .
The expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became a bit agitated, this time the big medicine will be very interesting.
Because nearly five hundred pharmacists were scoured, the originally crowded Yaowang Temple apse square appeared to be a lot empty, disrupting the number plates, and the remaining pharmacists reassigned their concocted rooms. This time everyone’s position was zero. After leaving, Gu Shiba Niang found that the nearest pharmacist was also separated by three wooden sheds.
This consideration is indeed reasonable. Now that the process of preparing medicine is involved, more and more secret techniques are involved. In this way, the hidden danger of peeping at others' techniques is greatly reduced, and pharmacists who regard secret prescriptions as their lives are less worried.
Half a day has passed since the drug competition was announced. The square is full of excitement. Everywhere you look is a crowd of people turning back and forth, because they did not expect the drug to be released. People who did not take the medicine wished to become three-headed and six-armed. The people hated that the drug would restrict them to only two, and sighs of regret and impatience continued to sound around.
What’s more terrible is that the configuration of xiangfu pills here is not like in your own home, where there are endless materials. Each person in the big medicine club only provides two copies, which means that once a medicine appears twice Mistakes, then it means you can leave automatically.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Listening to a bang next to me, accompanied by a wailing, means that another person has failed.
"Small..." Lingbao turned his head with sweat on his forehead.
"Three stoves..." Gu Shiba Niang interrupted her and quickly took the steamed Dashengdi from the stove, "Prepare wine, soil, vinegar, clam powder..."
Seeing that she had devoted herself to the medicinal materials in front of her, Lingbao was busy taking care of her mind. There were too many medicines to be done this time, and the methods were cumbersome. Gu Shiba Niang had to find a starter. Lingbao was in the medicine shop. After doing simple cleaning tasks such as cleaning, he was called in, but because the requirements were too strict, all Lingbao could do was washing and drying.
Guarding the three stoves, Gu Shiba Niang, whose eyes were fixed on the fire, was already covered with sweat on her forehead.
Different from the previous two games, there were obviously more people watching the outside of the square. The red-faced pharmacists left with their heads down, which was enough to make the pharmacists who had no other choice but to whisper in front of them and please the pharmacists in the past to feel comfortable.
"Ha, look, that's Lao Qu from Hengzhou Prefecture, haha, no matter how his beard is burnt..."
Everyone was talking and laughing, watching the busy scene in the field, smelling the scent of medicine mixed with wine and vinegar, they were very happy, eating dried fruits, just drinking small wine.
As the night faded, lights lit up in the square, and the number of people onlookers increased.
Xin Chaoling embraced the two pretty maids, pointing the field from time to time, leaning forward and backward with a smile.
"Look, over there, it is our lady Gu..." He pointed to the pretty maidservant, "Look, how calm is Lady Gu..."
The words "Our Family" reached Xin Chaoyang's ears, and his eyes darkened under the red lantern.
"Young Master..." The pretty maid shook Xin Chaoling's arm with big eyes flashing, "Ms. Gu is really calm, she hasn't moved for half a day..."
"That is, Gu Niangzi is holding the winning ticket... Hey? No..." The letter of a pharmacist who was hiding her face and exiting the field threw melon seeds and turned her gaze towards Ling Man. At this time, what calmly said was action. Not moving, it's not calm. . . . .
"Small...Small..." Lingbao's tears were almost falling, and he squatted on the ground watching the wet rice swill, and the cracks in the porcelain pot were still popping out.
The rice swill is not enough. . . . . Gu Shiba Niang only felt that there was a boom in her mind, without rice swill, she could not do two of the seven systems.
Just now she asked for rice swill, soaked black medicine, Lingbao handed it over, and somehow her hands slipped. Although Lingbao's eyes were quickly picked up, she still spilled more than half.
For the sake of fairness, only two ingredients are provided, and no more requests are allowed for whatever reason.
At this time, Gu Shiba Niang, who was the focus of the audience, was finally noticed by everyone, and they whispered and asked what was wrong.
"Master Xiaoliu has started seven systems" someone shouted.
Seven preparations are the most important and final step of Kasuki pills. Everyone can't help but look up at the sky, and they are all surprised.
At this rate, it can be completed before dawn
The news quickly spread to the audience, directly causing two or three pharmacists to flustered and tremble, scrapped the last medicine in their hands, and left the scene without tears.
Master, what should I do? Gu Shiba Niang only felt that she was stunned. To make medicine is to make medicine. No... the raw material is no raw material. There is no way to think about it.
Lost like this? This is too. . . . .
Everyone will only know that she lost. As for how she lost, no one cares, and no one cares. Even if she can make more seven xiangfu pills in the future, it will not change people's impressions.
Seven systems, seven systems, and only four systems without two systems. . . . . . Although it is also xiangfu pills after making four systems, it still loses unless. . . . .
Gu Shiba Niang raised her head fiercely.
"Lingbao," she took a deep breath and called her over.
"Miss?" Lingbao hurried over with tears still on his face.
Gu Shiba Niang whispered a few words in her ear, Ling Bao's expression was shocked.
"This...Is this all right?" she asked silently.
"It's better than giving up in vain." Gu Shiba Niang said in a deep voice, looking up at the sky, "Go ahead, time is running out..."
At this moment in the side hall, President Qi accompanied ten pharmacists sitting and laughing, and the noise outside could be seen through the wide open door.
"Master Xiao Liu, when I saw him when I was young, I thought he was a good seedling, much better than his grandfather. I see Jianning Mansion in the future..." An old pharmacist said with a thumbs up. .
The crowd either nodded with a smile or squinted noncommittal.
A man hurriedly walked in and said a few words in President Qi's ear.
"What?" President Qi looked astonished.
Everyone hurriedly looked over, with a little puzzled.
"Everyone," Chairman Qi turned to everyone, "Lady Gu said six more ingredients..."
"Now?" everyone couldn't help asking in unison.
President Qi nodded, now that the total number of medicines is nearly 30, she still wants to add six? this is. . . . Is this too simple for the game they set up?
A smile appeared on Gu Lingyun’s face, thinking of the noise he had just heard, there must be something wrong with this lady Gu’s medicine.
"What do you say? This is unprecedented..." President Qi asked.
Everyone looked at each other.
"It's adding a new medicine, not replenishing the original medicine against the regulations..." Gu Lingyun said, "Since Lady Gu is determined to find another way, why don't we do it? Lest we miss her..."
Everyone was actually very curious. Since Gu Lingyun spoke, he nodded.
"What is she going to add?" Old Kang asked.
The man who came in hurriedly replied: "Funny, Yizhiren, Gardenia, and Sapphire are two or two each, and Baifuzi and Shichangpu are one or two each."
When everyone thought to himself, the man retreated.
The news spread quickly on a small scale.
"Broken" Wang Yizhang woke up after being surprised, "Ms. Gu must have had a problem with the original Seventh Medicine. This is for a temporary change of medicine."
"Change the medicine?" The people around heard this, with a stunned expression, "Specified that the seven-made Xiangfu pills are to be made. What did she change to? What is the change is also a loss."
Wang Yizhang is a pharmacist, but he still doesn't know much about pill processing. He can't answer for a while, and his eyebrows are frowned.
"I knew it, I knew it." Wang Jin almost had to dance behind the scenes. As long as he thought that Lady Gu was embarrassed at this conference, he was out of a sulking breath that had accumulated in his heart for a long time.
"Go back to me," Wang Yizhang shouted, pacing back down the corridor.
Suddenly, a man squeezed from outside, wearing a dark green robe and brown cloak, with a big hat covering his forehead.
"The shopkeeper Wang..." This person said strangely, as if deliberately tuned in.
"What are you doing?" Wang Yizhang raised his head silently, and almost bit his tongue after seeing the person who came. "Huang..."
The man waved his hand and swallowed back what Wang Yizhang wanted to blurt out.
"You...you are here too..." Wang Yizhang stammered hello.
"Yeah, it's so lively, so naturally I want to come and see..." the person smiled.
There are more acquaintances in the drugstore here, and the people around them listened to their conversations, but they didn't care. They turned around and then watched the crowds.
The man approached Wang Yizhang and whispered a few words in his ear. Wang Yizhang's face changed even more. He opened his mouth in a gloomy manner, and his eyes were full of fear.
"This... this..." He seemed to be out of control, fighting with his teeth.
After hearing Gu Shiba Niang's request to change the medicine, Piandian's discussion has not subsided. At this time, everyone has guessed that Gu Niang must be a problem with the previous medicine.
"... She is too young... Even a momentary miss is nothing... UU reading www.uukanshu.com." Chairman Qi and Old Kang laughed in a low voice.
Another person walked in suddenly, and everyone who was talking and laughing was taken aback, what happened? Everyone looks over.
"Masters..." Wang Yizhang grinned at them stiffly, and he walked over to President Qi without waiting for everyone to respond.
"Elder Wang, did you hear that, Gu..." Chairman Qi raised his head and smiled at him. Half-talking, Wang Yizhang had already bowed his head and whispered in his ear.
President Qi's face suddenly changed again, even more weird than the news that Gu Shiba Niang changed her dressing.
"Huh..." He made a strange noise from his throat, and he was pressed on his shoulder by Wang Yizhang reaching out to say something.
"I'll go out." After several changes in his expression, he finally stood up, said quickly to everyone, and followed Wang Yizhang out, his steps were obviously vain, and he was tripped by the threshold before going out.
what the hell? Everyone's eyes followed the two of them to the door, the light and dark intertwined, and the shadows were shaking. Seeing them parked in front of a tall, thin figure, the corners of their clothes fluttered into the next room.
