Chapter 7 Assistant Exam

Super God Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Department.

Bai Xiaowen meticulously wiped the glass window, but his eyes were scanning the medicinal materials under the window. There was a hint of red light in his left eye, and information about medicinal herbs flowed into his mind.

silverleaf

Grade: 1

Year: 3 years and 7 months

Composition: energy composition (life particles) 12.7%, plant fiber 85.1%, impurities (phloem tissue, phosphorus, moisture, etc.) 2.2%

"Silverleaf is the most basic medicinal material. It grows in dark and damp places. Because the leaves contain phosphorus, it emits a faint silver light."

Bai Xiaowen recalled the knowledge learned in the "common sense" class, and then used the information obtained by his insight talent to verify.

"Silver Leaf Grass contains life particles, which is one of the preparations for the 'Silver Light Potion'. The effect of the Silver Light Potion is to restore a certain amount of life, but the grade is only level 1, and it is less useful to the awakened..."

In the pharmacy department of the Super God Pharmacy, Bai Xiaowen has been part-time for a week. With his insight talent and super brain, he has written down the ingredients of hundreds of medicinal materials and the ratio of dozens of medicines.

However, the preparation of medicines is not simply a matter of mixing several medicinal materials. The sequence, storage time, temperature control, etc. all require rich experience and keen eyesight. Bai Xiaowen is only a part-time apprentice at the lowest level. He is not qualified to be a pharmacist's assistant and cannot enter the preparation room. Naturally, he cannot see the preparation process of the medicine.

Now, here's your chance.

Sun Hecheng, a senior pharmacist in the pharmaceutical department, and an assistant named Zheng Li, successfully passed the assessment and was promoted to junior pharmacist.

Zheng Li, a new pharmacist, needed an assistant, and there was a vacancy for Sun Hecheng's assistant. In this way, there are two more assistants in the pharmaceutical department.

For several days there has been restlessness in the circle of apprentices in the pharmaceutical department. Unlike Bai Xiaowen, the other apprentices are basically college graduates. It is easy to find a formal job. Why do you come here to do some odd jobs, isn't it just to study pharmacy?

Becoming an assistant is the first and most crucial step in learning pharmacy.

However, it is not so easy to become an assistant. According to the rules, applicants must first take a strict written test, enter the interview according to the ratio of three to one, and finally select the assistant from the pharmacist himself. Such competitive pressure is even more intense than the civil service exam in another time and space.

And tonight at 8:00 is the time for the written test. Except for some apprentices who know they have no hope, the vast majority of them have already signed up, and no one wants to miss this opportunity.

Not far from Bai Xiaowen, next to a table, a group of veteran apprentices were talking in a low voice.

"I'm going to be the denominator for this selection of assistants, so there's basically no hope."

"Yes, there are more than 100 people competing for two places. The competition is too fierce. We don't have much hope."

"The most certain one is Zongjie's boss." Someone said.

Zong Jie was sitting in the middle of the apprentices. He has some connections in the Super God Pharmacy, and he is usually quite imposing in the apprentice circle.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Zong Jie waved his hand and said, "You are all mistaken. It seems that there are two places, but in fact there is only one."

"what?"

"why is that?"

Bai Xiaowen also pricked up his ears.

Zong Jie said slowly: "Do you know Zheng Sen who came here two months ago? He is Zheng Li's cousin, and he was introduced to our pharmacy by Zheng Li. Now Zheng Li is promoted to pharmacist, and he chooses the assistant of Zheng Li. At that time, will you not use your own cousin?"

A group of people around sighed. When the pharmaceutical department selects assistants, the opinions of the pharmacists are very important. If Zheng Li insists on using an apprentice as an assistant, the store will not object. With the close kinship of the Zheng brothers,

It is basically certain that Zheng Sen has locked Zheng Li's place.

Zong Jie said with a trace of disdain: "I didn't like Zheng Li's place at first. He is just a pharmacist who has just been promoted. How much can he have in his stomach? Master Sun is a senior pharmacist with extensive knowledge. Our department ranks among the top three. Famous teachers produce high-level apprentices, and under Master Sun's hands, they will only have a bright future."

"That is, the boss became Master Sun's assistant, and it will take less than a year to graduate. Don't forget to help the brothers." The surrounding apprentices complimented repeatedly, as if Zong Jie had been successfully upgraded. .

Zong Jie's face was full of pride, he looked up and around, and suddenly found Bai Xiaowen who was cleaning the window, his brows slightly wrinkled.

A few days ago, Fan Jianwei, the supervisor who had just left the pharmacy, mentioned Bai Xiaowen in a private meeting.

Although Fan Jianwei's words are unclear, Zong Jie can probably guess that Fan Jianwei's resignation is related to Bai Xiaowen. After getting Fan Jianwei's promise, Zong Jie promised to teach Bai Xiaowen a lesson, and even kicked him out of the Chaoshen Pharmacy.

Over the past week, Zong Jie and his small gang have caused a lot of trouble for Bai Xiaowen, but Bai Xiaowen is hard-working and does his job impeccably, better than some veteran apprentices. This gave Zong Jie no chance to attack.

A fat apprentice followed Zong Jie's gaze and saw Bai Xiaowen. He rolled his eyes and quickly thought of an idea to please the boss. He waved, "Bai Xiaowen, come here! Clean up all the medicine cabinets on this side."

There are thousands of compartments in the medicine cabinet, which store medicinal materials in different categories, and it is not easy to clean them.

Bai Xiaowen slowly straightened his waist, threw away the rag in his hand, and glanced at the fat apprentice.

"What are you doing, hurry up and hurry up!" the fat apprentice said loudly. As a member of Zongjie's small group, he has long been accustomed to working with new apprentices.

"Why don't you go?" Bai Xiaowen said lightly.

The fat apprentice's face sank.

"Yo, the wings are hard!" The people around also cheered.

The fat apprentice blushed and scolded: "How old are you, can you compare with us? I've been in the industry for five years, and you newbie understand the rules!"

Bai Xiaowen curled his lips and showed a sneer: "After five years in the industry, it's not even a pharmacist, not even an assistant. I really don't know how you got involved."

"You!" The fat apprentice was extremely annoyed when his scar was uncovered.

Zong Jie stood up and stared at him with stern eyes: "Bai Xiaowen, go wipe the medicine cabinet."

Bai Xiaowen remained motionless.

Zong Jie's authority was challenged, and his tone became rude: "We all have to take the assistant selection exam, we don't have time tonight, who are you not to do these chores? If you make trouble with the supervisor, there is no reason for you! "

"Really?" Bai Xiaowen had a strange smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I have to take the exam too, I don't have time."

"what?"

"Am I right?"

Several veteran apprentices beside Zong Jie let out strange screams one after another.

"Bai Xiaowen, do you really think you are a scallion? You only want to be promoted to be an assistant, are you dreaming?" Zong Jie mocked unceremoniously, "Apprentices who have been in the industry for half a year dare not sign up, just you? And don't look in the mirror!"

"I've looked in the mirror," Bai Xiaowen curled his lips, "more handsome than you, much more handsome."

"You little white face..." Zong Jie looked at Bai Xiaowen's handsome face, and was discouraged for a while, but more angry, "Let's see, I will become Master Sun's assistant after today's exam, you must look good!"

The bell rang at eight.

Sun Hecheng, with a face of the Chinese character, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a righteous body, appeared in the lobby of the Pharmaceutical Department, and the apprentices had already taken their places.

"Are all the apprentices who signed up? We are preparing for the exam," Sun Hecheng said briefly, and then added, "Pharmacist Zheng Li has already confirmed the candidates for assistants, so he will not preside over the assessment. There is only one assistant available this time. According to the ratio of three to one, the top three will be selected for the interview. Let’s work hard.”

After the low voice of discussion, all the apprentices quieted down and stopped making noise.
