Chapter VIII Announcement of Results

One test paper was sent out.

Sun Hecheng called two unregistered novice apprentices and instructed them to take out the medicinal herb specimens, hang them on the wall above the podium, and write down the numbers, there are twenty copies in total.

The wall lamp came on, illuminating one wall as if it were daylight.

Sun Hecheng said in a deep voice: "These twenty kinds of medicinal materials are our exam questions today. Everyone, write the names of the medicinal materials in the corresponding numbers of the blank test papers, and write in as much detail as possible how to conduct preliminary processing. Each medicinal material 5 points out of 100. The exam is one hour long. Let's start now."

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and looked over. For him, who has a talent for insight, there is no pressure at all in the identification of medicinal materials, and it is absolutely impossible to make mistakes.

Preliminary treatment of medicinal materials refers to the preparatory work that pharmacists need to do before preparing medicines. This job is actually very particular. For example, for basic cleaning, there are dozens of different cleaning solutions, corresponding to different species of medicinal materials. Using the wrong cleaning solution will cause damage to the quality of the medicinal materials, which will inevitably affect the success rate of the preparation of the medicine. Such an assistant is definitely not qualified.

In the pharmaceutical department, there is a thick pharmaceutical encyclopedia, just like the Oxford dictionary in another time and space, which belongs to the reference book for people to consult. There are no precious formulas recorded in the Pharmaceutical Encyclopedia, but the preliminary treatment methods of medicinal materials are all available in a wide variety of categories.

The thickness of the Pharmacy Encyclopedia is daunting, and many apprentices have been in the pharmacy department for a few years and only know little about it. Many people have ambitions when they first enter the industry, and they want to memorize all this pharmaceutical encyclopedia. Only after a few months, I often find that the speed of forgetting is faster than the speed of learning, and I can only give up in anger.

Bai Xiaowen, who has a super brain, is not included in this list. He just flipped through the Pharmacy Encyclopedia, and he has already printed all the content of more than a thousand pages of teeny and small characters in his mind. His brain has gone beyond the category of "genius" and is almost a monster. It can be regarded as a humanoid self-propelled computer, or the top version.

Bai Xiaowen scanned the twenty kinds of medicinal herbs and knew it in his heart. The person who gave the question was very attentive. The twenty kinds of medicinal materials ranged from easy to difficult. Ten kinds of medicinal materials were relatively basic, and five kinds of medicinal materials were slightly more difficult. The last five medicinal herbs are relatively uncommon and rare. If it weren't for Bai Xiaowen's pharmaceutical encyclopedia, the answer would not be complete.

Zong Jie, who was sitting at the front, rustled with confidence. He was very fast and had already answered the eleventh question.

"It's only been ten minutes, and I'm halfway through, and I'm quite sure. I should be sure of everything for this exam." Zong Jie looked up at the No. 11 herbal specimen hanging on the wall, frowned slightly, and then his eyebrows relaxed. Expanded, a little excited.

"The eleventh herb is a bit rare, but I've seen it before! Very well, if it's as simple as the first ten questions, how can you make a difference and show your level?"

Zong Jie scribbled down the answer to the eleventh question, and the twelfth and thirteenth questions that followed, although he stumbled, he also wrote down the answers, which were basically complete.

However, the fourteenth question stumped Zong Jie.

In my memory, the fourteenth herb seemed to have some impressions, but I couldn't remember the name. As for the treatment method, Zong Jie is even more difficult to determine.

"It looks like magic moss, it should be baked? No, the edges of the leaves of this medicinal herb are smooth, not like the serrated magic moss, and the leaves are thick and glossy. The life energy particles should be contained in the leaves. The baking method It will definitely damage the quality."

Zong Jie was indecisive, so he could only put a question mark in front of the question number of the fourteenth question, and then looked at the fifteenth question.

However, the fifteenth question is also familiar, but I just can't recall it.

"Damn it, why do you carry your back like this?" Zong Jie gritted his teeth secretly, then looked around. Many of the other apprentices seemed restless, some biting the pen tube, some scratching their ears, and they seemed to be stumped.

Zong Jie was secretly relieved,

It doesn't matter if you do poorly on your own test, as long as someone else's test is even worse.

Zong Jie looked at the last five questions with a bit of luck, and his face suddenly collapsed. The last five medicinal herbs, I have never seen before! Maybe the tome that can be used as a brick, there are these rare medicinal materials in the pharmaceutical book, but now it is an exam, Zong Jie can't go to the book to find the answer.

There was a clatter of a stool.

Zong Jie was startled, followed the voice and looked over, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

It was Bai Xiaowen who stood up. He strode to the podium, and actually handed in the papers directly.

"So fast?" Zong Jie's eyes were almost round, and he looked up at the wall clock on the side. There's still half the time left until the paper is handed in!

Bai Xiaowen's early submission of papers aroused the suspicion of many apprentices.

"A novice who has just entered the industry for a week, I am afraid there is only one possibility to submit the papers so quickly..." Zong Jie sneered in his heart, "It is estimated that he can't answer a single question, and he has handed in a blank paper! Hmph, if I knew this, why should I sign up? a shame."

Thinking of this, Zong Jie's mood seems to have improved a lot. He racked his brains and guessed, filled the empty part of the test paper, and finally checked it again. He did not hand in the test paper until the bell rang at nine o'clock.

Sun Hecheng collected the more than 100 test papers, waved his hand and said, "You are busy, I will approve the papers on the spot, don't worry."

A group of apprentices moved the tables and chairs back to their original positions and went to work. However, their attention was obviously not on the work at hand, but all on Sun Hecheng's side.

Sun Hecheng's speed of approving papers was very fast, and many papers were thrown away after just a glance, without scoring at all. Obviously, that kind of paper is not even enough to pass the line.

Zong Jie found a position close to Sun Hecheng, wiped the medicine cabinet one after another, and fixed his eyes on the tip of Sun Hecheng's pen. He was secretly nervous. Up to now, Sun Hecheng had reviewed more than 30 test papers, and only six of them were above the passing line and got marks.

Whoops, another test paper full of handwriting was drawn. Zong Jie's heart trembled, this was his test paper.

Sun Hecheng ticked all the boxes, and all the first ten questions were correct. He turned to the back, and the speed of reviewing slowed down a lot.

Zong Jie was excited, which meant that his test paper was worthy of scoring, and he must have passed.

Soon, Sun Hecheng turned back to the front and waved his pen after the name "Zong Jie" was written.

Seventy-six points!

Zong Jie secretly let out a long sigh of relief. This is the highest score so far, and it is almost certain to enter the interview. As long as you can enter the interview, there is still a lot of room for maneuvering. The elders in Zong Jie's family are retired old people from the pharmacy.

Sun Hecheng raised his eyes slightly and found Zong Jie, the red pen tapped on the table: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and do something."

Zong Jie agreed quickly, suppressed his excitement, turned around and walked to the other side of the medicine cabinet. Suddenly, he saw Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen was cleaning the utensils at the clean pool, and his expression was calm, as if he had never signed up for the exam. This peace, in Zong Jie's eyes, is another interpretation.

"Haha, Bai Xiaowen, how's it going? Do you think it's impossible to get into the interview, for fear of being laughed at, hiding here and pretending to be calm?"

Bai Xiaowen gave Zong Jie a sideways glance, and his thin lips curled into a sneer:

"If I can't get into the interview, who else can get in?"

"Yo, you still have a hard mouth. If you can enter the interview, my name will be written upside down!" Zong Jie snorted.

"How you write your name is none of my business." Bai Xiaowen was very disdainful.

"Hehe, that's good, let's make a bet," said Zong Jie, raising his voice slightly, "If you get into the interview, I'll resign! If you don't get in, get out of here! Do you dare to bet?"

Bai Xiaowen's eyes flickered, as if hesitating for a second: "Just gamble, I'm afraid some people won't admit it when they lose."

Seeing Bai Xiaowen's "cringe", Zong Jie sneered: "Brothers have all come to do notarization, the lords spit and nails, whoever cheats, pigs and dogs are inferior!"

Seven or eight apprentices crowded over and agreed to testify. They are all young people in their twenties, and it is not a big deal to watch the fun.

The purification pool was far from Sun Hecheng, and there were two rows of medicine cabinet shelves in the middle, so the apprentices were a little unscrupulous.

Bai Xiaowen's utensils were cleaned, and without talking to Zong Jie, he left with a basket of test tubes.

The wall clock struck, half past nine.

A cough came from the podium, and Sun Hecheng stood up, holding a thin stack of test papers in his hand: "Okay, we will announce the results now."
