Chapter 478 Are You Here on Vacation?

The threshold for junior pharmacists is not high, which is why there are a lot of first- and second-level pharmacists. The price of the medicinal materials concocted by the junior pharmacists is only a little higher than that of crude drugs. Therefore, if a pharmacist wants to earn money to support his family with his own craftsmanship, he must be a fourth-level pharmacist or above.

This is also the reason why Lin Nuo, a young medicine boy newly acquired by Gu Ye, came from a poor family. Although his talent is high, he lacks guidance. It is already commendable to be able to get to the third level by his own exploration. It is conceivable how much mental and financial resources were put into it. There is an intermediate pharmacist in the family, and there is no such thing as a middle-level family.

The assessment of a first-level pharmacist is to arbitrarily concoct the same qualified medicinal materials from some of the medicinal materials and auxiliary materials given.

Gu Ye was surrounded by his family and entered the assessment venue. The scale and the scene naturally attracted the attention of many people on the viewing platform. The royal viewing platform where Emperor Zhaorong is located has the best view. Beside him, the queen and a few favored concubines accompany him. It is rare for the prince and his younger siblings to get together so well. How could such a grand ceremony be missed in the ten-yearly big medicine fair?

The ten-year-old Fang Pinglan, with a charming face, pulled the sleeves of elder sister's sleeves and blinked her bright eyes: "Sister, look, there is actually a female pharmacist participating in the assessment!"

Princess Heyang pouted, threw off her sleeves, and said with a look of disgust: "I really don't know anything, what's so strange about a female pharmacist? Isn't there a ninth-level female pharmacist in the legend, who almost entered the realm of a great pharmacist? Little pharmacist, the pomp is quite big, so many people come to accompany the exam!"

Fifth Prince Nangong Chenzhi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not a favored girl from some aristocratic family. I heard that pharmacists are very respected, and they are arguing that they want to learn pharmacy, so they sent them here to participate in the assessment? A child of an aristocratic family who broke through the realm of an intermediate pharmacist?"

The intermediate pharmacist is a watershed. If you don’t concentrate on practicing for a few years, how can you break through so easily? There are not many family members who can't bear hardships, and don't have to make a living from pharmaceuticals. Therefore, most of the pharmacists above the intermediate level are the children of the pharmaceutical family, or the disciples of the high-level pharmacists.

"Huh? The Duke of Zhen's family is not going to come today? There is still no one in the stands!" His Royal Highness felt a little strange and couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Zhaorong looked at the little girl surrounded by her family and said with a smile, "Why didn't you come? Isn't that so?" The place where the pharmacist entered was far from the royal stand, and he could only see a little girl surrounded by seven or eight people. It's just.

The queen followed his gaze, and sure enough, from the tall and sturdy stature of the father and son of Zhen Guo, he could distinguish them. The queen asked in surprise: "Someone in his family participated in the pharmacist examination? Why haven't I heard that there are people in the town government's family studying medicine?"

"Didn't Duke Zhen just find a daughter!" Emperor Zhaorong took a sip of the tea in his hand.

"I know this!" Princess Pinglan is charming and cute, and is the most favored among princesses, sitting next to the prince's brother. Hearing her father's words, she raised her white and tender bun face, "It's the one that my father rewarded her with a silkworm silk. The father is partial, and my son still doesn't have a dress with silkworm silk!"

Emperor Zhaorong laughed and said: "Pinglan wants a dress made of celestial silkworm silk! It's done! When Xiaopinglan gets married, the royal father will make some more for you as a dowry!"

"Royal Father—" Little Princess Pinglan twisted her body and pouted her mouth coquettishly, "Pinglan don't get married, Pinglan has always been by my father's side to honor you!"

"Your little mouth is so sweet that you can coax people to death!" Emperor Zhaorong beckoned, and asked little Princess Pinglan to sit beside him, and handed her a bunch of grapes. Under the envious eyes of all the brothers and sisters, Pinglan snuggled up beside her father and ate the grapes that he rewarded. The little girl had already left behind the silkworm silk dress!

The prince and Pinglan were both sent by the queen. He wiped the little sister's little hand with grape juice and couldn't help asking, "I heard that Duke Zhen Guo, the long-lost daughter, has received medicine from the sage. Qingyan was accepted by him. Could it be that this Medicine Saint disciple has never participated in the most basic medicine master assessment?"

Fifth Prince Nangong Chenzhi said with a smile, "Don't you want to take the exam from the lowest level for the son of the pharmacist of Jiang Da? I heard that there are many children of the pharmacist family who choose to take the exam in this once-in-a-decade major. The medicine will accumulate a lot, and it will be a blockbuster!"

"Indeed, if you want to make a name for yourself, this big medicine fair is an excellent opportunity!" His Royal Highness said with a smile, "I don't know how many people will be able to surprise us this year!"

After Gu Ye entered the venue, she first took a look at the crude medicine area. There were more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs, and among them, she was best at Chaihu. In fact, it is not the best at it, but it used to be a lot, so I am more skilled.

She carefully read the assessment rules, as long as Bupleurum can make the most basic raw Bupleurum decoction pieces, it is considered a pass. The assessment is based on the basic skills of concocting. It seems simple, but one can see a person's skills such as swordsmanship and fire.

Gu Ye chose a Bupleurum, removed impurities and residual stems, washed it, soaked it in clean water and waited for it to moisten thoroughly. The scorching sun was in the sky today, and there was no cloud. Although it was only after nine o'clock in the morning, I could already feel the fiery power of the sun.

There are pergolas on the stands, but there is no shelter above the assessment venue. Gu Ye's heart was full of resentment, no wonder he heard from the master that the medicine will last for more than a month. If it catches up with the rainy days, it will be a fart! Gu Ye was most afraid of the sun, and felt irritable when exposed to the sun.

"Look at that little girl in red. It's not like others are standing beside her own medicine table. What are you doing at the entrance? Could it be that the question is too difficult to concoct, so she went to her family to cry?" discussed.

Gu Ye, who became the center of attention, took the parasol, fan, and ponytail from the entrance without haste, and slowly returned to his medicine table. She checked the degree of infiltration of Bupleurum, sat on the pony, and held up such an oil-paper umbrella.

"Haha, this little girl is so funny! Does she think she's on vacation? She even holds up her umbrella!" The first day was the pre-pharmacist exam, and the others who were eligible to sit on the viewing platform were all Intermediate or above. Seeing a maverick little pharmacist, someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Do you care if they hold an umbrella or not? As long as they can concoct qualified medicinal materials, they will pass. Who stipulates that they must stand there foolishly in the sun?"

"That's right, that's right! Didn't you see that she was a beautiful little girl? What if she was tanned and not pretty anymore?" Most of them were good-natured jokes.

"That's right, it is rare for a cute little girl to appear in our pharmacist team. To understand and care for, the process is not important, but the result. This senior, don't be so mean and critical."

Well, the pharmacist who spoke first became the target of public criticism.
