Chapter 155: Uncrowned
Chapter 155: Uncrowned
Someone? Unexpectedly, Qi Lao, who was walking sideways in the Jiankang pharmaceutical industry, was so out of shape? Could it be that he is from the government?
Holding such a big party, it is natural that it has been reported to the government, but they only expressed their encouragement before the start of the game, after all, this kind of medicine will be an insider's doorway, and the layman can't see the excitement.
Baohetang is still the medicine offering of the Tai Hospital, maybe it is the people from there, these people pharmacists don't care about these things, and they throw it away after a glance.
After a while, President Qi came back and still sat down, but he was a little lost and restless, his eyes always glanced next door, as if he wanted to see through the past, and he didn't talk about the topic of Gu Niangzi's temporary change of dressing that everyone was going to discuss.
The people in that room must have an extraordinary identity, and the old pharmacist present was like a mirror in his heart, since he didn't say it, everyone didn't ask.
As the night wore on, the crowd dispersed, but a large part of them remained put, waiting for a crucial moment to decide the ranking of the pharmacists.
"I'm old, I can't compare with you young people, I have to squint for a while, ......" Kang Lao rubbed his neck and stood up and said.
Then three or four of the pharmacists also stood up and took their leave.
Glancing at Qi Lao, who was still sitting upright, he looked solemn, this old guy had already left in the past, Kang Lao muttered in his heart, he stepped out, looked up at the night sky, and looked next door from the corner of his eye.
The door next door is wide open, no different from their side, it is a good perspective to see the situation in the field, and there is no such thing as a waiter, there is a dim light inside, illuminating the blurred figures of three people, two people standing on the left and right, and one person sitting crookedly in the middle.
Kang Lao, the person standing on the right, recognized Wang Yizhang at a glance, and his gaze couldn't help but turn to the center curiously.
The man seemed to be tired of sitting, he changed his posture slightly, and his face was exposed under the lamp thrown next to him, Kang Lao had not yet seen his face clearly, he seemed to notice someone peeping, and his eyes glanced over.
At that moment, Kang Lao only felt dazzling, and subconsciously lowered his gaze.
That glance, like a god on high, with an aura that did not belong to these people at all.
Really......
Kang Lao didn't dare to raise his head anymore, and hurriedly walked past the door.
The night was deeper, the onlookers walked a little more, the noise of the day finally subsided, and the pharmacists in the field also changed from busy to calm.
Liu Qian dipped the last pestle of pure incense with safflower black plum into the salt water, and finally exhaled, his gaze turned to Gu Bainiang's side.
It was different from other wooden sheds, and it was lit up with a circle of lights, illuminating the inside and outside, so that she could see any movement at a glance.
She is frying, her expression is focused, and her movements are smooth and skillful.
"Still frying?" Liu Qian frowned slightly, there are indeed a lot of fried ingredients for the incense pills, such as white peony, baizhuo, jujube, mountain meat, etc., but the preparation of the incense is not fried, has she not started to concoct the incense until now?
Liu looked up at the sky, and the east was already faintly white.
When the morning dawned, the crowd flocked to the square again, asking those who had not left.
"How? Has anyone done it? β
The focus of it is naturally Gu Ba Niang.
Kang Lao walked to the side hall and passed by the next door, and saw that the door was still open, but this time he didn't dare to put half of his eyes into it, and his perception told him that the three people inside were still there.
Actually watched here all night?
Kang Lao couldn't hide his surprise in his heart, and when he went inside, he was not surprised to see Qi Lao's red eyes after staying up all night.
"Someone handed over the medicine" a shout from someone outside made everyone feel refreshed.
"Not bad, not bad." Although several pharmacists were strict, they couldn't help nodding their heads in praise at this time.
When the first rays of sunlight fell, time suddenly flew by like quicksand, and as the end time drew closer and closer, many of the pharmacists who were still a few steps away were covered with sweat on their foreheads.
I've been up for a long time and a night, and if I fail at this last moment, it's too embarrassing.
This time, instead of the name of the pharmacist being pasted as in the first scene, it was shouted loudly.
With the names of the pharmacists shouted out one by one, the medicines they had prepared were neatly laid out on the long table in front of the Medicine King's Palace.
It's less than an hour away.
In the loud registration outside, I didn't hear Gu Banniang's name.
"Is this time going to be the last?" A few pharmacists whispered.
"I see it's really going to be the end this time....." Gu Lingyun said slowly, his gaze was cast outside, and there were only scattered pharmacists left in the huge square.
At this time, the rest of the pharmacists were doing the finishing touches, but there was one man who was busy, the fire was hot, and the steam was rising.
It's not nice to be busy at this time.
At this time, almost all eyes fell on Gu Ba Niang's location, and because of the last scene, many people didn't know that Gu Ba Niang was the last to hand over the medicine, so everyone was surprised when they saw this scene.
Anyway, she is also Liu Gong's apprentice, and she can't be the first to hand over the medicine, and it should be about the same, but she hasn't finished it yet.....
"The time is coming..."Wang Yizhang stared at the people in the field, and his hands were clenched tightly.
The first scene was handed over at the end, and the second scene was temporarily changed in the middle, this girl came to add tension to the big medicine meeting, right? No mistakes in many words
"People say that slow work makes meticulous work, and Gu Niangzi must do better than those people...."
A low but still shrill voice came from the side, "We don't understand this, Old Shopkeeper Wang, you are an expert, don't you say?" β
Wang Yizhang tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the person leaning on the long collapse in the middle.
He was wrapped in a thick and wide vermilion purple robe, and the white fox fur hat of the dress hid his entire face, revealing only the high bridge of his nose, from Wang Yizhang's perspective, I don't know if this person is asleep or awake.
"Pharmaceuticals are expensive in moderation..... slow work is the truth... However, to be able to prepare pills in such a short period of time is also a matter of perfecting the skills....as the saying goes, practice makes perfect....." Wang Yizhang said vaguely.
It not only admits that slow work and meticulous work, but also shows that fast medicine is also an ability, of course, this ability requires experience accumulation, in this way, Gu Niangzi can be justified if she wins or loses......
A chuckle sounded, and the man on the couch slowly got up, his robe hung down, and a slender hand stretched out and removed his hat, revealing a young and handsome face.
"The King of the Counties.." Wang Yizhang's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head, in front of this young man who was so many years younger than himself, he always had a feeling that his inner thoughts could not be hidden.
Is this the innate ability of the royal elite to control the hearts and minds of their courtiers?
"As long as it's prepared on time, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether it's faster or slower." He said slowly.
"Not really." Huang Neishou immediately smiled and asked cautiously tentatively, "King Jun, you haven't rested this night, why don't we go back and squint for a whileγγγγγ β
King Wenjun waved his hand, reclined down on the couch again, pillowed one arm under his head, and looked out of the door.
"Everywhere..." He whispered, "I'm resting here... β
Huang had no choice but to stop talking.
Wang Yizhang's gaze quietly swept over King Wenjun's face, and his complexion was even worse than the previous paragraph.
"Do you want to use some for the county king?" He asked in a low voice.
King Wenjun thought for a while, "Okay, just have a pot of tea." β
Wang Yizhang hurriedly responded, "Lao Er personally prepared for the county king... He lowered his hands and stepped out.
As soon as he went out, Huang Neishou followed.
"Add some wild ginseng... He whispered.
Wang Yizhang only felt frightened but didn't dare to show it, so he hurriedly bowed his head.
At this moment, a bell rang in the field, and with this bell, exclamations rang out all around, mixed with loud boos, and all eyes were on the only figure in the field.
And at the moment when the bell rang, Gu Bainiang's hand left the last fragrant sauce.
The pharmacists who had already begun to evaluate the medicines, but their eyes were on Gu Bainiang, couldn't help but take a heavy breath.
Ignoring the noisy noise around them, Peng Yizhen and Ah Si Deng Er both raised their hands to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's finally done at the end, or γγγγγ" Peng patted his chest and said with palpitations.
Liu Gong's high-ranking apprentices, not to mention competing for the first place, were not even directly eliminated from the qualifications, which was really embarrassing.
If that were the case, the spitting star would have drowned her in an instantγγγγγγ
"Jiankang Mansion Gu Xiang, medicine."
With this announcement, Gu Bainiang's medicine was placed at the end of the long table, and Qi Lao and the others took a deep look at her.
Gu Bainiang bowed to them, and withdrew from the arena under the gaze of everyone.
"All pharmacists, you have worked hard, this is the end of the drug competition, please go and rest first, and the evaluation results will be announced in half a day." President Qi's voice was a little hoarse, but his spirit was extremely excited, and he waved his hand and said loudly.
After these two games, it has been two days and two nights without closing their eyes, coupled with the high degree of mental tension, in fact, there have been many pharmacists who have been carried down the moment they handed in the medicine.
Having said that, it's been so long, and it's not bad for half a day, not to mention that this evaluation is completely public, that is, everyone can come forward to see it, of course, after the ten pharmacists in charge of scoring have finished reading it.
You must know that this is not the finished product of the seven incense pills, but the most important state before the completion of the seven incense pills, and experienced pharmacists can analyze the processing process through this view, who is willing to miss this rare opportunity.
Therefore, when these words were spoken, the crowd did not disperse, but rushed forward.
Gu Bainiang hesitated for a moment, but did not rush forward, as a result, she was already very clear in her heart.
"Gu Niangzi!" The distant letter waved to Ling to greet her.
Da Yousheng had already prepared a resting place for her and prepared refreshments, and Cao Shi was also sitting there, but he looked at her with a worried and distressed expression.
Gu Bainiang smiled tiredly, picked up the spirit treasure that was almost unable to move, and walked over there.
Wang Yizhang stood outside the door, his eyes never left Gu Bainiang, he was anxious about how to say something to her, and at this time, he saw her going backwards in the crowd and going out of the field.
"Hey... Wang Yizhang couldn't help but shout, and raised his hand at the same time.
A light cough came from the room, although the sound was not loud, but Wang Yizhang immediately turned around and walked in quickly.
"This king came this time to steal half a day's leisure, not to meet people." King Wenjun said lightly and took a sip of tea.
"Yes, I know." Wang Yizhang hurriedly bowed and replied, lowering his head, but a trace of disapproval flashed on his face.
If there is no such person, a dignified county king would think of coming here to relax?
The noise did not affect the ten pharmacists in front of the Medicine King Palace, although the number of pharmacists in this game was reduced by half, but the medicine increased a lot, any of them blindly, any step was slightly worse, affecting the entire medicine, so the expressions of the ten people were very dignified, and the speed of tasting was much slower than the previous one.
It's still a ten-point system, it's still ten people scoring, the difference is that the score is announced as soon as it's finished, and it's hung high along with the name of the pharmacist.
This kind of pennant with the name and score written on it is specially made with gold characters on a red background, and the workmanship is enough for the pharmacists to take home for future generations of disciples to admire, of course, for those who rank highly.
As time flies, the pennants hung in front of the Medicine King Hall get older and older, and each pennant hung will cause cheers or boos, and then many people will flock to the medicine of the pharmacist, and the insiders and laymen will look at each other.
βγγγ What happened to my medicine? What happened to my medicine? A pharmacist in his forties, with a gloomy face, waved his hands excitedly, looking at the pennant hanging high, and the word ten as big as his name was eye-catching.
This reaction is not uncommon, and the people around him let out a burst of ridicule.
βγγγ Damn, you old guys are old and dizzyγγγγγ The pharmacist was even more stimulated by this laughter, and simply scolded.
Before his words fell, countless fists came over, jokes, and dared to scold those old pharmacists on the stage, who were looking for death and were quickly thrown out.
"The cooked land is not steamed with ginger juice, and the vinegar yuan is friedγγγγγγ Even I, who is not a pharmacist, can see it, you are embarrassed to ask" The young master of the medicine store who stood close shouted and took a few sips, "This kind of goods can also be mixed in the second sceneγγγγγγ β
This caused everyone to laugh and scold again, the name of this pharmacist was completely remembered, and he no longer wanted to make a living in the medicine industry from then on.
Xin Chaoling naturally wouldn't let go of this excitement, and shouted with people before he stood back.
"Liu is still the highest score." Xin Chaoyang said softly, looking at the pennant fluttering in the wind, the pennant ranked first, and the score on it was also the current first, ninety
"Isn't it ninety? Xin Chaoling didn't care, "What's wrong with ninety, wasn't he ninety last time, as soon as our Gu Niangzi came out, he went aside... β
As he spoke, he looked back, because there were too many people who came to watch the competition, and it was not easy for the huge Yaowang Temple to grab a place to rest in an excellent position, so the conditions were a little shabby, and a cloth shed was built, with a green curtain hanging down, and a beauty couch was placed inside.
Gu Bainiang didn't fall asleep, she also heard Xin Chaoling's words, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on her lips.
Next, it really did not exceed the score of the willow model, with the increase of pennants, the number of drugs on the stage that had not yet been evaluated decreased, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and there was some solemnity in the enthusiasm.
The ranking of pharmacists in this year's big medicine conference is about to be released.
"Am I going to be number one?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Liu Qian, who was surrounded by countless people sent by the medicine store, stood up from the bench at this time, and his face could not hide his nervousness, "Will it be the first?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
This sentence sounded repeatedly in his heart, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the ten pharmacists who were moving slowly on the stage, only feeling that they were walking extremely slowly, and thinking that they would never walk in front of the last medicine.
Everyone watching from the sidelines knew that Gu Niangzi was the last to hand over the medicine, but because he had been paying attention, he knew that Gu Niangzi was the result of changing the medicine halfway, and the change of medicine meant that there was a problem with her concoction, and she had to find another way, but the Seven Incense Pills have strict rules for concoction, can it still be called the Seven Incense Pillsγγγγγ
He had never been so close to victoryγγγγγγ
Kang Lao was the first to stop in front of the last medicine, he unconsciously took a deep breath, and his eyes swept over the dense pile of medicine that had been concocted in front of him.
This one is obviously a lot more than other people's medicinesγγγγγ
How much more? Kang Lao subconsciously counted it silently.
"Nineteen flavors of ingredients, this one is the same as everyone's... This incense is attached. Wine, vinegar, saltwater, and γγγγγγ Hey... This is..... Kang Lao silently read in his heart, his eyes swept over these medicines, and his expression was stunned.
"What are these?" The other pharmacists also came, and one of them reached out and dipped in a medicine bowl, "This is, cumin... Cumin and incense γγγγγ β
"Is this doing? Stir-fried black gardenia with fragrant sauce... Sulforaphane fragrant juice. β
The pharmacists gathered around, looked around, and whispered.
And Kang Lao, who was standing there first, did not move at this time, and his expression changed.
Because when it came to the last one, which was also the medicine that determined the final result, the whole audience fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the ten pharmacists.
Xin Chaoyang's always indifferent face also fluctuated slightly, and the knuckles of the hand holding the teacup turned white because of the exertion.
"Come on, it's going to be a perfect score if it's good-looking," Xin Chaoling said with a relaxed face and a whistle.
Xin Chaoyang couldn't help but look back, the curtain was opened, and Gu Banniang on the beauty couch was still reclining with her eyes closed, her expression calm, as if she was asleep.
So the winning is in handγγγγγ
Xin Chaoyang sighed softly.
"Jiankang Mansion, Gu Xiang, no points."
A voice suddenly fell to the audience.
βοΌβ
When this voice sounded, there was silence in front of the crowded Medicine King Palace, so quiet that almost everyone stopped breathing.
Everyone's expressions were stunned, their mouths opened wide, and they looked at the ten pharmacists on the stage in a disgraced manner.
A pennant was slowly hanging, and a gust of wind was blowing, Gu Xiang, no points, the four words were particularly clear.
"This one is not a pointγγγγγ Is it a point? Someone was the first to react and stammered.
"Yes ... It is said that the medicine is too good. There's no score to score, rightγγγγγ Xin Chaoling said with a strange face, looking around, wanting to gain recognition, "Is that what you mean?" β
He was met with silence and rolling eyes.
"I announce, the first in the big medicine meeting, Jianning Mansion, Liu." In the strange silence, President Qi's hoarse voice sounded, and the conclusion of this big medicine meeting was closed.
With a bang, the audience boiled, and it also drowned out the second and third places that President Qi recited next.
"I'm the first, I'm the first," Liu Duan snorted, and slammed his fist on the pillar beside him, and suddenly he was red.
But the sting of the moment made him laugh out loud.
It's not a dream, it's not a dream, it's real
"Congratulations to Master Liu, congratulations to Master Liu" Countless people suddenly rushed over and drowned the willow money.
Xin Chaoling was completely stunned, and the teacup he was holding in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Xin Chaoyang's face had changed greatly, he turned his head, and in the green curtain tent, Gu Baniang was slowly opening her eyes, with a hint of a smile on her lips.
"Eighteen mothers... He walked over, because the matter was so unexpected that he didn't know how to say it well, who had always been kind to talk.
"It's finally over." Gu Bainiang sat up, rubbed her neck, and smiled at him, "The fight should be held tomorrow, right?" There are many words without mistakes, so I can take a good rest tonight. β
"Eighteen mothers... Xin Chaoyang looked at her and suddenly stretched out his hand.
Gu Banniang was stunned, this hand with a warm breath swiped her hanging hair, and then quickly withdrew it, and the fast Gu Banniang thought that Fang was her illusion.
"Eighteen Niang, you still have me... And we have a great life... Xin Chaoyang said softly.
Gu Bainiang looked at him, her tired face showed astonishment, and then she smiled heartily.
"Ha, ha," she smiled, "Thank you, young master."
As she spoke, she bowed slightly.
In this situation, she smiled so heartily and naturally, this girl has been able to hide her emotions to the point of being so leaky? "Let's go, go and thank the ten pharmacists for their hard work, and then go home and rest." Gu Banniang walked past him and said in her mouth.
As soon as Gu Bainiang appeared in front of everyone's eyes, countless eyes looked at her instantly, and the mocking sneer and disdain made Rao is Xin Chaoling, who had never known what his face was, shudder.
"Liu Gong's disciple is simply ashamed to be thrown home...
"I thought it was so powerful...
"A little girl's family, do you think this medicinal herb is for fun?
"It's a pity, it's a pity, Liu Gong's old man's prestige is about to be buried...
The surrounding whispers suddenly flew over like snowflakes, saying that they were whispers, but they were not whispering at all.
In this world, awe can only be obtained by relying on one's own ability and strength, especially in this medicine world, no matter whose disciple you are, no matter which family you come from, without real skills, you will never be able to get the awe of others.
Lingbao's eyes were red, and his tears had fallen, and he blamed himself, if he hadn't slipped off the rice swillγγγγγ She's useless, and she only bothers Missγγγγγ
Gu Bainiang looked indifferent, ignoring everything around her, Shi Shiran walked to the front of the stage, and everywhere she went, the crowd automatically gave way to her.
Liu Qian was taking the pennant from President Qi's hand, trying to make a modest look, but he couldn't suppress his joy and excitement, and his words were a little incoherent.
stepped down under the support of everyone and took a look at Gu Bainiang.
"Gu Niangzi... He took the initiative to greet with a soft smile on his face, "You did a good job... β
Gu Bainiang raised her eyes to look at him and smiled, and suddenly said, "Have you seen my medicine?" β
Liu Qian didn't expect her to ask like this, in fact, he really hadn't seen it, this girl was really young, and she couldn't even hear the polite words
"I'm okay." Gu Banniang replied with a smile.
This is too big to say, and the people around him rolled their eyes when they heard it.
There is such a master, naturally he is more arrogant than ordinary people, Liu Qian didn't care, but smiled with a bit of the generosity of the winner.
Here, President Qi and the others beckoned to Gu Eighteen Niang.
"Gu Niangzi, it's really a good craft... Kang Lao's voice came in a deep voice.
Liu Qian and the others, who had already turned around to leave, couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and they all turned their heads to look.
This, this is a polite remark made in the face of Liu Gong?
"After all, the text is not right, and the little girl still loses." Gu Eighteen Niang said with a smile.
"Sure enough, it's a famous teacher who produces a high apprentice... You're doing a good job... Kang Lao sighed and said, nodding at Gu Eighteen Niang's twisted beard, "Your master really didn't see the wrong personγγγγγ β
These words made the people around them stunned, and the noise was suppressed, and their eyes turned around Gu Bainiang and these pharmacists.
These pharmacists didn't have a look of pity on their faces? This is Liu Gong's apprentice, Liu Gong's apprentice has lost such a big face, why do they still say such things?
I don't know who reacted first, more and more people rushed to Gu Bainiang's medicine.
"What is this?"
"How can there be so many incense sticks?"
"It's γγγγγ"
"This is... The nine system is the nine system of incense attached pills. . . A pharmacist exclaimed.
This sentence was unintentionally like thunder, which made the expressions of the people around him suddenly stiffen.
Nine systems and nine systems of incense attached pills
"Impossible... Liu Xiang, who walked to Gu Bainiang's medicine, was stunned for a moment, "... No way... β
In a short period of time, the seven systems are already complicated, how can the nine systems be done
He almost rushed in, his eyes falling on the neat nine-part bowl of incense and juice, and his expression was shocked.
The news spread quickly, and the audience was in an uproar.
Gu Bainiang, who had already walked away from here, stopped slightly, looked back behind her, and only then did a smile of relief appear on her face, and let out a sigh lightly, at least, she was very good-looking.
Master, I have not disgraced youγγγγγγ
Xin Chaoling, who heard the news, danced excitedly.
"I'll just say it, I'll just say it, Gu Niangzi won't lose, as soon as Gu Niangzi makes a move, that ninety points will have to be cooled off," he laughed, stretched out his hand to grab the maid, and kissed her delicate face fiercely in front of everyone.
"Nine systems... Xin Chaoyang muttered, his expression changed several times, and he struck his palms violently, and laughed, but this smile was full of self-deprecation.
Believe in Chaoyang, believe in Chaoyang, you also have such a stupid day
Wang Yizhang brought the news over as soon as possible.
"Oh, it's so powerful, it's really not the first to win like the first," Huang Neishou clapped his hands with a bit of exaggeration.
King Wenjun stood up.
"This girl is very good at bluffing... He said with a shallow smile on his face, reached out to cover the deep hat, and walked away.
