"Warrior?" Xu Hao was stunned, only to see a white-bearded old man dressed in neat and plain clothes, with thin cheeks sitting in the middle, with a tall figure, like a pine and cypress, a pair of brown eyes sunken in the sockets, and a head of unkempt gray hair.

Just sitting here, it is like a rock, giving people the feeling of stability like Mount Tai.

What is extraordinary is that there is kindness in the majesty of the old man, which is the temperament that can only be released after the martial arts, erudition and cultivation reach a certain level.

"At least practice the Essence Realm Cultivation. Xu Hao secretly thought, as a pharmacist, it can be said that it is not easy to have such a cultivation.

In the position of the guests next to him, there were also two old men, a man and a woman, Xu Hao had seen, it was Ma Deluo of Miaoshou Hall and Zhao Zhifang of Xingyao Hall.

The two of them have a very high reputation in the county town, and the two big medicine stores almost rely on them to support them.

Of course, Miaoshou Hall and Xingyao Hall are both forces of the Wang family and the Zhao family.

"Huh?" When the white-bearded old man saw the visitor, he was stunned and said, "It's so young!"

Although the first round of the drug identification competition has just begun, and there will never be only three or two people who can pass, the appearance of such a immature face as Xu Hao still surprised him.

"Master!" Before Xu Hao could open his mouth, Liu Tongyun had already followed in from the outside, she came to the white-bearded old man, turned back to Xu Hao and said loudly: "This is my master, Master Meng Ran." ”

"Alas——?" The white-bearded old man was of course Meng Ran, the organizer of this medicine identification competition, and after hearing the disciple's introduction, he immediately waved his hand and responded: "What master! Don't talk nonsense." ”

After speaking, Meng Ran looked at Xu Hao kindly and nodded: "A hero is a young man, and he is actually good at identifying so many medicinal materials at such a young age. Although there are only dozens of medicines I have set up, they are all over the world, and their origins and uses are different. It's not easy for a doctor to be able to identify them all. ”

"Little brother, haven't asked your surname yet?" It seemed that he was extremely curious about Xu Hao, and at the same time very satisfied.

Seeing that the master was so modest, Liu Tongyun pursed her lips slightly, that kid had lost face, and he wanted to rely on the old man to blow the other party's arrogance, but who knew that this was the case.

"Your surname is Xu Minghao, and you run a small pharmacy in Cloudsdale City. Xu Hao gave his hand, if the other party is arrogant, don't blame yourself for being more proud. But if the other party respects himself, he will also respect the other party.

"Oh, dare you ask the name of the store?"

"Jin Yitang. ”

Meng Ran smiled and nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Jin Yitang? elegant, elegant, it's just ...... I don't think I've ever heard of this pharmacy. ”

"It's only been a few days since it opened. Xu Hao responded calmly, of course his store can't get into the eyes of these big people. In terms of status, it is simply the difference between cloud and mud.

There is such a thing as face, which is useless, and of course he will not deliberately cover it up.

"I'm afraid I haven't applied for the qualification to practice medicine yet, and this is the case with many small pharmacies in the county. Suddenly, Ma Deluo from Miaoshou Hall next to him opened his mouth, although it was not good, but it hit the point.

To operate a pharmacy in the county town, you need to have a medical qualification, but the procedures are not easy to handle, and many small shops or stalls have adopted the method of playing the side ball, handling it while operating, or even giving up the handling altogether!

The city is not strictly regulated by this, and as long as it does not heal people's lives, they often turn a blind eye.

"Exactly. Xu Hao was not angry at the dilemma of breaking the store, his store is like this, there is nothing to hide, and it is not his own personality to twist and pinch.

"Probably not. Meng Ran waved his hand suddenly, and said with a loud smile: "If the little brother can win the first place in the drug identification competition this time." I will be the introducer, discuss with the city defense army, and the qualification can be handled in one day. ”

Having formal qualifications is recognized by the Pharmaceutical Merchants Association, and this brand alone is the guarantee of credibility!

"Really?" Xu Hao raised his eyebrows, of course he needed it, if he had formal qualifications, it would greatly improve the current predicament of Jinyitang's business.

"When the old man speaks, he naturally counts. Meng Ran's voice was loud and imposing.

Liu Tongyun looked at Xu Hao's dewillful appearance, and the anger in her heart did not come to a place, and looked at him with disdain: "Be careful that the cowhide is blown up, the people sitting here are all masters." ”

"Alas!" Meng Ran frowned, not understanding what was going on with his disciple today, and immediately reprimanded: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, don't be like this!"

Liu Tongyun didn't dare to say more, pursed her lips and exhaled.

"Haha, Master Meng, long time no see!" After a while, a sturdy middle-aged man walked in outside. This person has a scruffy beard, is dressed in a sky blue brocade robe, light gray boots, is tall and walks with a tigerish style, and has an extraordinary momentum.

"Liao Yuan?" Meng Ran smiled and stretched out his hand to welcome, but the appearance of this person attracted the hostility of Ma Deluo and Zhao Zhifang, and his expression was quite unkind.

The atmosphere at the scene seems to be lively, but it is actually very complicated, and even a little embarrassing.

Zhao Zhifang said coldly: "After all, your Liao family can't help but step into the medicine shop? ”

Liao Yuan looked at them, put his hands behind his back, stepped on the chair next to Xu Hao and said: "There is no business in this world that my Liao family does not dare to enter! ”

"Who are you talking about!" Zhao Zhifang didn't look old, but her temper was not small, she stared at Liao Yuan fiercely and did not back down.

Liao Yuan waved his hand and said helplessly: "Look! I didn't say you, I had to post it myself." ”

Although it is explaining, the tone is full of sarcasm.

"That's enough—"

Meng Ran's face sank, he slowly got up, glanced at a few people present, and said: "Today's medicine identification competition, you all look at the face! Don't mention family matters here, there is another hour for the second round of the medicine identification competition to begin." It's nice weather outside, so let's go out and take a look. ”

Outside the square is specially set up with private seats, with melons and fruits on the table, and the winners can sit nearby to watch the game.

It was really boring for a few people to sit in the room, especially when the atmosphere was already tense just now, and it was even more embarrassing, so it was better to step outside and watch the game.

When the breeze blows, the fire can be reduced.

The first round of the drug competition was still going on outside, and there were crowds of onlookers, and for a whole hour, seven more winners came out of the line.

With the addition of Xu Hao, a total of ten people passed the first round of tests.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Meng Ran got up and said loudly: "The first round of the drug identification competition is over, and now, the second round of the official competition will be held." ”

"In this competition, there are only three herbs, but the difficulty is far from comparable to the first round. Especially the last herb, the old man has no way to answer, and I ask you to help you solve your doubts. ”
