The final of the Shennong Cup Herbal Knowledge Contest is definitely a big deal for the 800,000 fathers and villagers in Kai'an City.

The competition system of the finals is not complicated, the host reads out ten questions and answers in turn, each contestant writes the correct answer on the answer board, and the five judges on the scene score each contestant's answer collectively, who has the highest score, who is the final champion.

For this final, Kai'an City TV station began to broadcast live from 8 o'clock in the evening, and many families moved small benches after dinner, waiting in front of the TV early.

In a certain community, a two-bedroom apartment with an area of less than 90 square meters. In the living room, Ruan Dawei sat on the sofa, savored a cup of green tea, looked at the TV screen, and nodded secretly, "Well, this Shennong Cup competition is a little new, not bad." ”

Qingshui Village, the hall of the village chief's house was already crowded with people, and Lu Zhijun and Deng Xiaohong sat in the first row. Lu Zhijun is better, but Deng Xiaohong is already excited, "Look, that's Tianyu, the No. 2 player, his performance tonight will definitely be very good." ”

Hengtang Town, ten miles away from Qingshui Village, a three-story luxury western-style building in the town, in the spacious living room, more than a dozen people from the Liu family gathered here, and a white-haired septuagenarian sat in the middle, and said unusually calmly: "If Xiao Liangzi can't get the first place this time, the family law will wait after he comes back." ”

In the studio hall, the lights have all been turned on, and Lu Tianyu under the spotlight is very nervous, as a young man in his early twenties, it is the first time to encounter such a big scene, it is impossible to say that he is not nervous.

"Lu Tianyu, take it easy, it's okay." A gentle voice came from beside him.

"Well, thank you." Looking at Jiang Liying wearing a red high-waisted cheongsam, standing on the No. 3 contestant's seat, Lu Tianyu always felt that time and space were a little out of order, this beautiful young woman, is she here to participate in the competition or to walk the catwalk?

His gaze continued to sweep over there, just as he collided with a vicious look, ignoring the provocation in the other party's eyes, and making a gesture of contempt, "Liu Liang, wait and see." ”

As the opening remarks of the two presenters ended, the exciting final finally began.

"Question 1: As we all know, ginseng is a precious medicinal material that greatly replenishes vitality, and some people like to use it to make soup or make medicinal wine, believing that it can strengthen the body and prolong life after consumption. However, traditional Chinese medicine believes that all drugs have their own sexual taste, and taking any kind of medicine must be suitable for people's physique and prescribe the right medicine, otherwise it will be counterproductive, so who are not suitable for eating ginseng? ”

"Please answer the questions, and the time to answer the questions is three minutes."

……

"Okay, it's time to answer the questions, please put down the pen in your hand and show your answer board. First of all, we ask President Chen of Kai'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to answer this question for the audience. ”

On the judges' bench, an old man in his fifties with sparse hair spoke eloquently into the microphone: "Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginseng has a sweet and slightly bitter taste, a gentle nature, and returns to the spleen, lung meridian, and heart meridian, which has the effects of greatly replenishing vitality, restoring the pulse and strengthening the body, tonifying the spleen and lungs, quenching thirst, and calming the nerves and intellectuals. However, ginseng is not a panacea, and people with the following conditions are not suitable for taking ginseng. ”

"People with strong allergies, people with high blood pressure, patients with cold and fever. In addition, those with insomnia and irritability are empirical and should not take ginseng; Those who are vigorous, hot, have a smooth and strong pulse, and are hot due to poor urine and bowel movements, should not take ginseng ......"

Seeing that Dean Chen had the posture of coming to an academic lecture, the beautiful host quickly interrupted: "Thank you Dean Chen for your wonderful comments, thank you." Next, please wait a little while the judges will score the answers of the contestants in turn. ”

"Ask the five judges to rate the first contestant's answer, and the maximum score is 10."

"The first player's score is: 7, 7, 6, 8, 7, for a total of 35 points.

Ask the five judges to rate the second contestant's answer.

"The second player scored 10 points, 9 points, 10 points, 8 points, 9 points, and the total score was 46 points.

……

"Now that the first question has been answered, the rankings of the contestants have come out. first place, No. 4 player Liu Liang 49 points; second place, No. 3 player Jiang Liying 48 points; Third place, No. 2 player Lu Tianyu 46 points ......"

At this time, Lu Tianyu suddenly felt a little bad, because his answer was not much different from Liu Liang, but there were some differences in terms and sayings, but the judges gave Liu Liang forty-nine points, but only gave himself forty-six points.

The game continued, and the competition on the field had entered a white heat, especially the competition for the championship, which was even more fierce, but unconsciously, Lu Tianyu had become a spectator in this final, because his score was pulled bigger and bigger by the top two.

When the match reaches the ninth round, the positions and scores of the players on the field are as follows:

First place, Liu Liang, 440 points.

second place, Jiang Liying, 438 points.

third place, Lu Tianyu, 420 points.

When he saw this score, Lu Tianyu had already scolded in his heart: "I'll it, these judges are really dark enough." Black whistle, absolute black whistle, blacker than the black whistle of Chinese football, these judges who have been blackened by gutter oil! ”

After the first nine rounds of observation, Lu Tianyu found that when scoring Liu Liang, Dean Chen's score was always very high, while Director Cai's score of the Food and Drug Administration was always lower; When it was time to score Jiang Liying, it happened to drop one, Director Cai scored high, and Dean Chen scored low.

For this blatant protection, Lu Tianyu wanted to jump up on the spot and make a sternly worded protest, but in the end he dispelled this idea, if there is no conclusive evidence, his guess can only become a joke from the neighbors at best.

You don't see, countless drafts, countless PKs, there are always more or less traces of the mastermind behind the scenes, but in the end, the one who deserves the championship still wins the championship, and the one who should be eliminated is still eliminated, this is the current reality.

Lu Tianyu sighed helplessly, there is still one last question, whether he has a chance to hit the first place, success or failure is in this move.

The melodious voice of the beautiful host sounded at the scene: "Audience friends at the scene, audience friends in front of the TV, now let's enter the most tense moment, what will be the tenth question, on the props!" ”

"Props? What props? Isn't this a Chinese herbal medicine competition? How can there be props? The audience in the studio was all monks who were confused.

Several players on the field were also confused, "Props? The judges didn't tell me there would be this type of question, what the hell is going on? ”

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Miss Manners pushed up a small cart.
