Today is the last day of the Grand Pharmacy Fair, and it is also the liveliest and most relaxing day. After the exhausting competition in the first two days, a hundred pharmacists who stood out from nearly a thousand people took a rest overnight, or in other words, because of the nourishment of honor, their exhausted The complexion has disappeared, replaced by the spring breeze.
At this time, hundreds of pharmacists were already sitting on the stage, with banners with their names and scores written on them behind them fluttering in the wind. Compared with the others, Liu Jian, who was the first placer, did not look very proud. He had a gloomy face. The looks from the audience around him made him feel on pins and needles.
His eyes fell on the audience. After thanking the crowd for the invitation, the girl walked through the crowd with a smile and stood next to the two young men.
"I must have a rematch with her today." Liu Jian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
As if noticing his gaze, the girl suddenly raised her head and smiled lightly at him.
"That guy hates you so much." Xin Chaoling followed her line of sight and smiled.
"What is there to hate about him?" Xin Chaoyang said, "Hating that others beat him? Then he should hate himself."
Xin Chao Ling touched his nose, this was the truth.
"He is indeed good." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile. In any case, considering Liu Jian's age and his discipleship, he can stand out in a gathering of pharmacists such as the Grand Pharmacy Fair. It is natural that he has real ability, but … .
She unconsciously imitated Xin Chaoling's actions and touched her nose.
"Your achievements today did not just fall from the sky." Xin Chaoyang looked at her and said with a smile.
"But maybe some people don't think so." Gu Shiba Niang looked at him and smiled.
"Hi, it's about to begin." Xin Chaoling interrupted their conversation.
A quiet bell rang, and Chairman Qi, as well as several government officials and ten pharmacists, walked onto the stage. The noisy crowd became quieter, and everyone finally looked away from Gu Shiba Niang.
After taking turns to speak about the situation and praise the pharmacists who achieved good rankings, Gu Lingyun, as the leader of the pharmacists association, slowly stood up and took a few steps, looking around.
"The main event is here." Xin Chaoyang said in a low voice.
"Today is a rare gathering of our pharmacists. This is a rare opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas. If we discuss with each other and polish with polish, if we are three people together, there must be my teacher. There is no end to the preparation skills. We will understand through learning and improve through exchanges." , promoted in the competition..." Gu Lingyun's deep voice echoed in front of the hall, "There is one more thing I want to say before announcing the battle."
The noisy square suddenly became quiet.
"In the past, fighting matches were just about the outcome of both sides. This time, our Pharmacist Association and the Medicine Guild have also prepared something..." Gu Lingyun glanced at the crowd, with a faint smile on his face, turned around and raised his head. hand.
A man came out holding a wooden plate covered with red cloth.
"What are you doing?" Xin Chao Ling stood on tiptoe and looked up at the stage, trying to get a clearer view.
"This is the Chaozhou Ye family's golden silk all-purpose ointment technique." Gu Lingyun stretched out his hand and pulled open the red cloth, and a thin envelope appeared in front of everyone, with golden seal characters on it.
When they heard Gu Lingyun's words, the pharmacists in the audience suddenly became excited and the noise started.
The Ye family in Chaozhou is a family of ointments and pharmaceuticals. Their skills are passed down from generation to generation and are unknown to outsiders.
"In this competition, the pharmacist who accepts the challenge and wins the most will get this unique skill of the Ye family," Gu Lingyun shouted loudly.
There was a crash, and the whole place was in a commotion.
For a pharmacist, this is an irresistible temptation.
The medicine fighting session, which was originally known for its relaxed, leisurely and peaceful atmosphere, suddenly became passionate and passionate. The enthusiasm of the medicine masters even exceeded the previous two games. Everyone stood up with excitement in their eyes.
"What a surprise..." Wang Zhangzhang, who was standing in the side hall, couldn't help but muttered to himself, "I actually came up with such a precious prize. It seems that this competition is becoming more lively again."
Cream recipe. . . . .
When Gu Shiba Niang heard this, her expression moved slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
If there is anything Liu Gong Pharmaceutical is lacking, it is the ointment formula.
"Now, I announce that the medicine battle begins." Gu Lingyun looked at the atmosphere that was instantly ignited and suddenly lowered his raised hand.
As soon as he said these words, there was a sudden uproar and noise on and off the stage.
"Gu Xiang, do you dare to compete with me?" Liu Jian stood up almost immediately and shouted to the audience.
This scene had been expected by everyone, but when it actually happened, everyone could not hide their excitement, and countless eyes turned to the girl at the front of the crowd again.
Some of these eyes were just looking at the fun, while others were looking forward to Gu Shiba Niang's defeat.
Gu Shiba Niang's expression was indifferent, with a faint smile on her lips. Under the gaze of countless eyes, she slowly raised her head and looked at Liu Jian.
"I wonder what Master Xiao Liu's prize is?" she asked with a smile.
The competition stipulates that whoever proposes a challenge will win the prize, and the prize must be enough to attract the other party to accept the challenge.
Liu Jian's face was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect Gu Shiba Niang to ask this.
Logically speaking, she, the uncrowned king, should want to defeat herself more and make herself worthy of her title. In his expectation, Gu Shiba Niang should accept the challenge without hesitation.
Because of this conjecture, Liu Jian really didn't think about what kind of luck he would get.
"I...if you win, the No. 1 banner of Dayao will go to you." He turned around and pointed his finger.
Gu Shiba Niang laughed.
"This...do I need it?" She said meaningfully.
This first place is already hers.
There was roaring laughter in the audience. Unexpectedly, this little girl spoke so sharply and showed no mercy at all.
Liu Jian's face turned red and then turned livid. He looked at the little girl in front of him. She was not a woman. He would never take her lightly because of her identity as a woman. She was clearly an old pharmacist with sharp words and a sophisticated and domineering mind.
"Boy, if you have any other good things, please bring them out quickly..." Xin Chaoling laughed and said, this Gu Shiba Niang was so appealing to him that he was so distracted that he raised his hand to wrap his arms around his good brother's shoulders.
Xin Chaoyang's hand patted his elbow and wrist.
What's good? Liu Jian was stunned. In front of someone who inherited Liu Gong's skills, what else could he talk about
"Okay," Liu Jian gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand, "Bring me my knife."
"Boy, what's going on? I can't compare to wanting to use a knife," Xin Chao Ling yelled.
Gu Shiba Niang's expression moved slightly as she watched a boy come over with a sad face and a medicine knife in his hands.
"Master..." the young man begged, "This is impossible..."
Liu Jian glared at him, reached out to grab the knife, and removed the knife bag. A knife shaped like a crescent moon, glowing white under the sun, appeared in front of everyone.
"Gao Family Medicine Knife!" A gasping cry rang out from the crowd.
The pharmacists who were all looking for opponents to challenge were also attracted here. They didn't expect that they would encounter such an important duel and such an important lottery as soon as the game started.
The Gao family medicine knife comes from the Gao family in Yuzhou. It is the top medicine cutting knife. It is very rare and rare. It is hard to find.
It is said that using the Gao family's medicine knife to cut medicine can cut more than a hundred pieces of small betel nuts, and the edges of the pieces are as thin as paper.
I didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous Liuqian from Jianning Mansion would have such a good thing, and everyone was envious.
"I lost, this knife belongs to you." Liu Jian gritted his teeth and said, holding the knife in front of him.
"Okay, then I'll take it." Gu Shiba Niang smiled, stepped forward and climbed up the stairs.
"Okay!" The first two parties to compete with each other were chosen, and cheers and whistles rang out throughout the venue.
Under their leadership, and under the temptation of the all-purpose ointment, more people successively chose their opponents, and both parties offered satisfactory conditions and reached an intention to compete.
After waiting a moment longer,
"In that case, let Mr. Kang draw the first batch of medicine." Gu Lingyun looked at the dozen or so pairs of pharmacists in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Shiba Niang, and said with a smile.
With a smile on his face, Mr. Kang walked to the box that had just been unlocked, reached out and pulled out a piece of paper, and opened it. Mr. Kang's expression changed slightly, but he soon returned to normal.
"Grab the smoke." He read aloud.
There was an eerie silence in the noisy venue.
"What?" There was a buzz of discussion immediately.
"What kind of medicine is the smoke spray?" Xin Chaoling asked, confused.
Xin Chaoyang was good at business but didn't know much about pharmaceuticals, so naturally he couldn't answer him.
The pharmacists on the stage also looked stunned.
"Getting smoke? This is too simple." There was an uproar in the venue, and there were more sighs of regret.
“It’s really weird this year,” several pharmacists smiled bitterly. “The seven-system Cyperus rotunda, which is difficult to compete with, appears in the competition, but the competition medicine that should be more difficult appears in the competition... This... This can be regarded as... Concocted?”
The laymen onlookers also asked about it, and a pharmacist explained it to them.
"The so-called smoke spraying, as the name suggests, is to spray water on the fried medicinal materials when the smoke color is suitable. This is a key step in frying charcoal."
The onlookers expressed their disappointment after hearing this, "Just spraying water? It's so simple, what can be compared with it? It's so boring."
This made the pharmacist feel uncomfortable again.
"What does simplicity mean?" He rolled his eyes, "Do you think you can spray this water whenever you want? So it's called grabbing. Spray when you should spray, and don't spray when you shouldn't. This is a test of a pharmacist's eyesight. .
Everyone made a noise and didn't take it seriously, but no matter what, this was the one that was pulled out, so there was only one better. The audience soon made room and set up a wok, because there was no specific description of what kind of medicine to fry. The pharmacists wrote a bunch of them temporarily and asked President Gu to draw one, which was frankincense.
This first pot of medicine was really unexpected. The medicine men who had agreed to fight were all concentrated, bent slightly, staring at the medicine pot in front of them, each holding a kettle in their hands.
A dozen temporary pharmacists began to cook for them while holding back their laughter. This scene was a bit funny no matter how you looked at it.
When the frankincense was put into the pot and smoke started to come out, the participating pharmacists looked solemn. The competition is so simple, but they must seize the opportunity.
Gu Shiba Niang narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the smoke rising in front of her eyes. The unique smell of frankincense penetrated her nose. The smell of fried frankincense was slightly irritating, but because this time the fight for cigarettes was really a fight, the two of them worked together. Looking at a medicine, no one dared to blink more, let alone turn their head slightly to avoid the smell, and had no choice but to let the pungent smell be inhaled into the body.
The frankincense smell was particularly strong today, and a thought flashed through Gu Shiba Niang's mind. The thought just passed by for a moment. As she watched the color of the smoke gradually turn from yellow, she shouted in her heart, "Okay," and she suddenly raised her hand and sprayed water on the pot. Inside, a burst of thick smoke rose, and her movements were only a blink of an eye earlier than Liu Jian's.
"Ms. Gu wins." The pharmacist standing nearby said with a smile.
This kind of non-technical judgment does not require the input of ten pharmacists.
Liu Jian's face was ashen, and the other pharmacists in the competition also decided the winner. The winner laughed, while the loser looked ugly.
"What kind of game is this?" they said angrily.
If it is too simple, the loser will be even more dissatisfied.
"Knife..." Gu Shiba Niang smiled at Liu Jian and stretched out her hand.
Liu Jian almost bit his lip until it bled, and his chest heaved violently. He turned his head, grabbed the knife from the boy's hand, and handed it to Gu Shiba Niang's arms.
"Here" he said heavily.
Gu Shiba Niang would not pay attention to his emotions. As Xin Chaoling said, this is gambling. It is often about luck in the casino. She was lucky today. She didn't know that the kind pharmacist wrote such a funny thing. Fight medicine.
"Gu Xiang, I still want to be with you..." Liu Jian looked at Gu Shiba Niang who was turning to leave and shouted loudly.
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted.
"Eighteen Mother, I will fight with you." The voice was old and low, but so powerful that it actually drowned out Liu Jian's shout.
Gu Shiba Niang, who had already turned around, paused when she heard the voice. She slowly turned around and looked at an old man with white beard and hair who was slowly coming from the crowd.
"Who is this person?" People who didn't know him asked one after another.
The expressions of Xin Chaoyang and Wang Zhangyi in the distance suddenly changed.
"What?" Prince Wenjun, who had been leaning on the couch and taking a nap, suddenly asked.
Wang Zhang, who unconsciously took two steps out, turned around and whispered: "This person... has an old grudge with Mrs. Gu."
"Oh..." Prince Wen said oh and raised his eyes slightly, "Then he will be in trouble."
But there is no trouble. . . . Wang Zhangyi looked worried, and suddenly he felt something in his heart. Why did Prince Wen seem to be smiling in his voice? Could it be that he was happy to see Mrs. Gu in trouble
Wang Yiyi did not dare to speak anymore and looked out the door with a worried look.
This Mr. Dong is said to have become a disciple of Gu Lingyun. He is already a well-known pharmacist, and he has recently become a disciple of Gu Lingyun, one of the top ten pharmacists. No matter how talented Mrs. Gu is, after all, she is young and cannot be compared with her peers or peers. It's okay compared to someone a few years older, but in a fight with such an experienced and long-established old pharmacist, not to mention that he comes with bad intentions, Madam Gu is probably going to lose this battle. . . . .
"Mr. Dong..." A faint coldness flashed across Gu Shiba Niang's eyes, "I wonder what the lottery is?"
"Ms. Gu, just speak up." Mr. Dong said slowly.
Liu Jian was suddenly interrupted and felt very angry. He was about to step forward to question, but someone stopped him with his hand.
"Shh..." The man shook his head at him, "This is Mr. Dong..."
Master Dong? Liu Jian was startled. Although he was from Jianning Mansion, he had also heard a little bit about Mr. Dong from the north. He also heard that it was because of Mr. Liu that he had to disappear.
But the grudge between them was far less important to Liu Jian than his own revenge, and he still had to talk after getting rid of that person.
"Your master's secret book." Gu Shiba Niang raised her voice and looked at him coldly.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and Liu Jian also stopped.
This lady Gu opened her mouth too loudly and too harshly.
No one knew why she said this, but Mr. Dong knew it very well. He grinned slowly.
"Okay..." He looked at the little girl in front of him, "Okay... Okay"
The tone of these three good words increased from light to heavy. With the last good word, he nodded heavily, "Deal."
