"Ahem, is anyone here who hasn't sliced two hundred and ninety-five slices?"
Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly spoke to break it...
However, no one present expected that Wan Yunting could slice three hundred and three slices of white peony. kAnshu伍.ξà
"Chairman Gu, I sliced two hundred and ninety-three slices," Qin Mengxue said, raising her hand helplessly.
Gu Yuanbai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, continue with the third round with everyone."
"Okay, thank you Chairman Gu."
Qin Mengxue became happy, after all, she wasn't a pharmacist, and she rarely sliced herbs, so slicing two hundred and ninety-three slices was already her limit.
"Old Ding, come back and sit."
Jiang Yichun also immediately called out to Ding Huixiang below, to avoid making Wan Yunting and the others continue to feel awkward.
Looking at the young man with an awkward yet polite smile, Ding Huixiang did not question his result of slicing three hundred and three slices from one inch of white peony, as each slice was so thin that it was basically impossible to fake.
"Young man, I'm impressed."
Finally, Ding Huixiang cupped his hands towards Wan Yunting, sighing in admiration.
Ding Zipeng, who was beside him, was also impressed. He had been learning to slice herbs with his grandfather for over ten years and deeply understood the difficulty and essential knife skills involved in slicing white peony. The fact that Wan Yunting could slice one more slice than him indicated that he must have practiced diligently in private.
"Old Ding, you flatter me."
Wan Yunting quickly cupped his hands and returned the salute with a smile.
Ding Huixiang didn't say anything more and turned back to his chair on the main platform. Jiang Yichun glanced at Wan Yunting, then turned to Ding Huixiang and said with a smile, "How about it, Old Ding, are you convinced this time?"
Ding Huixiang tilted his head at him and still didn't believe it, "Are you sure he didn't practice in private?"
Jiang Yichun couldn't help but laugh a couple of times and said, "Whether he practiced or not is not important, the result is already in front of us, so you, the number one blade in the world, have to give up your seat."
Song Chengqi, Wei Datong, and others beside them also laughed. Originally, the test question for this round was proposed by Ding Huixiang, who wanted his grandson to show off his knife skills in slicing herbs in front of everyone.
Unexpectedly, Wan Yunting, a monstrous talent, appeared midway and surpassed Ding Zipeng by one slice. How could this not make Ding Huixiang feel depressed and stifled?
However, they, grandfather and grandson, wouldn't get angry. After all, there were always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people, and there were countless厉害 people. Therefore, although Ding Huixiang and his grandson felt depressed, they wouldn't dwell on Wan Yunting.
"Alright, get ready, let's start the final duel of medical skills."
Gu Yuanbai stood up and clapped his hands, asking everyone to quiet down. He said, "In the final round, we will arrange three patients for you to diagnose their conditions, causes, and treatment plans by taking their pulse."
"Then you will write down the results, and after our discussion, we will decide whose diagnosis and treatment plan is the best, and that person will win. If there is a tie, we will arrange other questions to determine the winner. Do you all understand?"
"Understood."
Wan Yunting, Song Sinan, and others below nodded in understanding.
"Alright then, Hongsheng, please invite the first patient in," Gu Yuanbai turned to Deng Hongsheng and said.
Deng Hongsheng nodded and immediately gestured to a teacher below. Then, a female teacher invited a woman wearing a printed floral dress, sunglasses, a mask, and a small jacket from the crowd. She immediately drew everyone's attention.
Seeing the woman so heavily wrapped up, as if she was afraid of being recognized, made Wan Yunting, Song Sinan, and others curious. They knew she must have some illness that made her afraid of showing her face.
"Everyone, please be quiet. From now on, no one is allowed to speak, nor make any sounds to prompt, understand?"
Immediately, Gu Yuanbai stood up and warned the surrounding teachers and members of the association who were Chinese medicine practitioners. Then, he said to the heavily wrapped woman, "Ms. Lin, could you please take off your sunglasses and mask?"
The woman turned to Gu Yuanbai and said, "Dr. Gu, can I not take off my mask? And my arms are covered in red spots, they can see them."
However, Gu Yuanbai smiled gently and said, "Ms. Lin, your condition is not simple, so please expose the parts with red spots for them to see, so that they can understand the cause of your illness."
The woman frowned, clearly a little displeased, and said, "Dr. Gu, even you can't figure out my illness, and these young people can?"
Although these words made Huang Jingshan and Shen Yingrui unhappy, they dared not say anything. However, it made Wan Yunting and the others even more curious about what illness this woman had.
"Alright, Ms. Lin, I'll trouble you," Gu Yuanbai said with a smile.
"Okay, take a look."
The woman surnamed Lin reluctantly took off her sunglasses and mask, revealing her face. However, on her rather outstanding face, there were patches of red spots. From her face down to below her neck, there were all these red spots. This immediately attracted the attention of Song Sinan and Wei Renxin, who all leaned in to carefully observe Ms. Lin's red spots.
"None of you can speak. Diagnose what illness these red spots on Ms. Lin are, what caused them, and what medicine should be used to treat them. Then you will write it down and submit it, and we will judge it!" Gu Yuanbai immediately said to Wan Yunting and the others.
This made Song Sinan, Wei Renxin, Huang Jingshan, and Shen Yingrui look at each other, and they all immediately closed their mouths and stopped talking.
Gu Yuanbai said, "Alright, stop crowding around like this. One by one, each person has only five minutes to examine and diagnose Ms. Lin. Shen Yingrui will start first."
"Okay."
Shen Yingrui stood up, walked towards Ms. Lin, and began to take her pulse, then asked her when the red spots appeared and how long they had been there...
Wan Yunting, Song Sinan, Huang Jingshan, Miao Yanzheng, and others were all sitting in their seats, watching Shen Yingrui take the pulse and diagnose the illness for the woman. As Ms. Lin pulled open her collar, revealing her neck, a beautifully crafted gold necklace was revealed, sparkling.
In addition to her neck, Ms. Lin also wore gold bracelets on her wrists and different gold rings on her fingers. This couldn't help but make everyone feel that she was a rich woman!
"I'm done."
When the five minutes were up, Shen Yingrui stood up and returned to his seat. Then, Song Sinan went up to continue examining Ms. Lin, also with five minutes.
Back at his seat, Shen Yingrui immediately started writing down what illness Ms. Lin had, what caused it, and what medicine to prescribe for treatment.
After Shen Yingrui finished writing, he stood up and handed the paper to Deng Hongsheng. Deng Hongsheng then passed it directly to Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun to judge one by one whether Shen Yingrui's diagnosis was correct...
After five minutes, Song Sinan finished, and she also returned to her seat to start writing. Then Huang Jingshan went up to continue taking Ms. Lin's pulse and examining her condition...
Next was Miao Yanzheng, and finally, it was Wan Yunting's turn. He sat down, revealed a gentle smile, and greeted the woman politely, "Hello, could you please let me see your hand?"
Ms. Lin looked at the handsome Wan Yunting, who also showed a gentle and charming smile, and her impatience lessened. She smiled and placed her hands on the table, "Take a look."
Wan Yunting picked up her left hand and lifted her sleeve. He saw patches of red spots on her fair skin and asked, "When did these red spots appear, and how long have they been there?"
