One by one, the test papers were handed down.

Sun Hecheng called two novice apprentices who had not signed up, and instructed them to take out the herb specimens one by one, hang them on the wall above the podium, and write the numbers, a total of twenty copies.

The wall lamps are lit up, illuminating one wall as if it were daytime.

Sun Hecheng said in a deep voice: "These twenty kinds of medicinal materials are our exam questions today. In the corresponding number of the blank test paper, write the name of the herb and write in as much detail as possible how the preliminary treatment will be carried out. Each herb is worth 5 points, out of 100 points. The duration of the exam is one hour. Let's get started. ”

Bai Xiaowen squinted and looked over. For him, who has the talent of insight, there is no pressure at all to identify medicinal herbs, and it is impossible to make mistakes.

The preliminary treatment of medicinal materials refers to the preparation work that pharmacists need to carry out before dispensing medicines. This job is actually very particular, such as basic cleaning, there are dozens of different cleaning liquids, 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 probability of successful preparation of the medicine. Such an assistant is definitely unqualified.

In the pharmaceutical department, there is a thick encyclopedia of pharmaceuticals, like an 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, and there are many categories.

The thickness of the Pharmaceutical Encyclopedia is daunting, and many apprentices have only a half-understanding of the pharmaceutical department for several years. When many people first entered the industry, they had ambitions to memorize all of this pharmaceutical encyclopedia. It's just that after a few months, I often find that the speed of forgetting is faster than the speed of learning, so I can only give up in a huff.

Bai Xiaowen, who has a super brain, is not among them, he just flipped through the pharmaceutical encyclopedia, and he has already printed more than a thousand pages of dense fly-headed small print in his mind. His brain has gone beyond the category of "genius", almost to the level of a monster, and it can be regarded as a humanoid self-propelled computer, or the top version.

Bai Xiaowen scanned the twenty kinds of medicinal materials, and he knew it in his heart. The author of the question is quite attentive, 20 kinds of medicinal materials from easy to difficult, 10 kinds of more basic medicinal materials, and 5 kinds of slightly more difficult ones. The last five medicinal materials are relatively cold and rare, if it weren't for Bai Xiaowen's pharmaceutical encyclopedia, it would really be incomplete.

Zong Jie, who was sitting at the front, was writing with confidence, his speed was very fast, and he had already answered the eleventh question.

"It's only ten minutes, and I'm halfway there, and I'm pretty sure. In this exam, I should be nine out of ten. Zong Jie looked up at the eleventh specimen of medicinal herbs hanging on the wall, frowned slightly, and then his eyebrows stretched, a little excited.

"The eleventh kind of medicinal herbs are a bit rare, but I've seen them! Very good, if they are all as simple as the first ten questions, how can they open up the gap and appear to be out of the level?"

Zong Jie brushed down the answer to the eleventh question, and the twelfth and thirteenth questions, although they stumbled, they also wrote the answers, which were basically complete.

However, the fourteenth question stumped Zong Jie.

In my memory, the No. 14 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, should it be baked? No, the edge of the leaves of this herb is smooth, unlike the jagged magic moss, and the leaves are thick, with a hidden oil shine, and the life energy particles should be hidden in the leaves, and the baking method will definitely damage the quality. ”

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

However, question 15 is also familiar, but I just can't recall it.

"Damn, why are you so backy?" Zong Jie gritted his teeth secretly, and then looked around. Many of the other apprentices seemed restless, some biting the barrel of the pen, some scratching their ears and cheeks, and it seemed that they were all stumped.

Zong Jie secretly reassured that it didn't matter if he did badly in the exam, it would be good if others did worse.

Zong Jie looked at the last five questions with a hint of luck, and his face suddenly fell. The last five kinds of medicinal materials have never been seen at all! Maybe the tome that could have been used as a brick and a brick, there are these rare medicinal materials in the pharmaceutical encyclopedia, but now that it is an exam, Zong Jie can't go to the book to find the answer.

There was a stool bang.

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

It was Bai Xiaowen who stood up, he strode to the podium, and he turned in the paper directly.

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

Bai Xiaowen's early submission of the paper 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 hand in the paper so quickly...... Zong Jie sneered in his heart, "I guess I can't answer a single question, and I handed in a blank paper! Hmph, I knew this was the case, why bother to sign up? ”

Thinking about it like this, Zong Jie's mood seemed to be much better, he racked his brains, even guessed, filled in the empty part of the test paper, and finally checked it, until the bell rang at nine o'clock, and then handed in the test paper.

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

A group of apprentices moved the tables and chairs back into their places and went about their work. It's just that their attention is obviously not on the work in hand, but all on Sun Hecheng's side.

Sun Hecheng's speed of marking the papers was very fast, and many of the papers were thrown away directly after just a glance, and they were not scored at all. Obviously, that kind of paper is not enough to even pass the grade.

Zong Jie found a position closer to Sun Hecheng, and wiped the medicine cabinet for a while, his eyes were fixed on the tip of Sun Hecheng's pen. He was secretly nervous in his heart, as of now, Sun Hecheng had reviewed more than 30 test papers, and only six test papers were above the passing line and got scores.

With a bang, another test paper with handwriting was drawn. Zong Jie's heart trembled, this was his test paper.

Sun Hecheng brushed and ticked, and the first ten questions were all correct. He flipped to the back, and the review slowed down a lot.

Zong Jie was excited, which meant that his test paper was worthy of grading and definitely passing.

Soon, Sun Hecheng turned back to the front and waved his pen after the name of the word "Zongjie" was written.

Seventy-six points!

Zong Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This is the highest score so far, and I am almost guaranteed to enter the interview. As long as you can enter the interview, there is still a lot of room for operation, the elders in Zong Jie's family are retired old people from the pharmacy, please give up some face, basically nine out of ten.

Sun Hecheng's eyes raised slightly, and he found Zong Jie, and the pen of the red pen knocked on the table: "What are you looking at? Go and do something." ”

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

Bai Xiaowen was washing the utensils at the water purification pool, looking calm, as if he had never signed up for the exam. This calmness fell in Zong Jie's eyes, but it was a different interpretation.

"Haha, Bai Xiaowen, how is it? Do you think it's impossible to enter the interview, and you're afraid of being ridiculed, so you hide here and pretend to be calm?"

Bai Xiaowen glanced at Zong Jie, his thin lips pursed, and he drew a sneer:

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

"Yo, it's still a dead duck with a hard mouth, if you can get into the interview, my name will be written backwards!" Zong Jie snorted.

"How to write your name is my business. Bai Xiaowen was very disdainful.

"Hehe, that's good, let's make a bet," Zong Jie raised his voice slightly and said, "If you enter the interview, I will resign and not do it! If you don't enter, you will get out of here! Do you dare to bet?"

Bai Xiaowen's eyes flickered, and he seemed to hesitate for a second: "Bet on it, I'm afraid that some people won't admit it if they lose." ”

Seeing Bai Xiaowen "cowering" like this, Zong Jie sneered: "The brothers have come over to make notarizations, the old man spits and nails, if anyone is cheating, pigs and dogs are not as good!"

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

The water purification pool is far away from Sun Hecheng, and there are two rows of medicine cabinet shelves in the middle, and the apprentices are a little unscrupulous.

After Bai Xiaowen's utensils were cleaned, he didn't say much to Zong Jie and them, and left straight away 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." ”
