My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant

It's ten o'clock sharp.

Inside the traditional Chinese medicine venue.

The place was crowded and noisy.

Crowded!

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Center in the Imperial Capital is much larger than that in Haicheng, enough to accommodate players to compete together. At this moment, all the young Chinese medicine doctors are standing in front of their respective operating desks, preparing for the competition.

A thud.

The big bell in the venue swayed leisurely, and the melodious and thick bell rang.

Thousands of people in the venue instantly fell silent.

At this time, on the high platform in the middle, all the respected seniors in the field of Chinese medicine were already seated.

These are the judges of this needle trial conference, there are five people in total.

One of them, a middle-aged man who looked elegant and graceful and could be considered the youngest among them, stood up.

He looked kind and approachable, but there was a shallow white scar between his eyebrows that was particularly conspicuous.

Many young Chinese medicine practitioners were very excited when they saw his face.

"It's Divine Doctor Lu."

"Lu Bannong, Miss Lu's father! President of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association! Today he is one of the judges..."

The Imperial Chinese Medicine Association is the largest Chinese medicine organization in the country. Unlike the Haicheng Imperial Capital Association, it is just a branch and has little power.

Lu Bannong has a beard and looks very kind and friendly.

He raised his hand and pressed it slightly, and it became much quieter down there.

Lu Bannong said loudly: "Now it is up to me to announce the procedures and rules of this Acupuncture Trial Conference. The content of the Imperial Capital Acupuncture Trial Conference is different from that of Haicheng's primary election. It examines everyone's skills and abilities, rather than the basic knowledge of medicinal materials. And the soup is ready."

"Today is the first round of the traditional Chinese medicine processing competition. If you want to practice medicine, you must be familiar with traditional Chinese medicine processing and evaluate the medicinal properties of medicinal materials. These are skills you must master. In front of everyone is a Chinese medicine processing console, and the competition time is two hours."

"After the first round, the top 20 will advance to the next round. The next round will be at the same time three days later, and will examine acupuncture and decoction."

"I want to emphasize that the rules of the imperial capital's needle trial meeting are strict. If anyone causes trouble, they will be disqualified on the spot, and they are not allowed to help each other deceive each other. Those who practice medicine should test their own abilities, not the ability to make friends. Haicheng primary election There are loopholes to exploit, so please don’t try to play tricks in the imperial capital.”

When he said this, his eyes swept over Qiao Xi's body with an inexplicable smile.

Like a reminder.

Again like a warning.

After he finished speaking, the crowd snickered a few times and looked at Qiao Xi.

"Talking about her!"

"I don't accept the fact that she came first in the primary election. If no one helped her, she might not be able to stand here and compete with us."

"I don't know how much the disciple of the Chinese doctor Cheng Han weighs."

Qiao Xi listened to those discussions and raised her eyes to look at Lu Bannong on the high platform.

My heart sank.

She didn't know what the conflict was between Grandpa Cheng and Lu Bannong, but she knew that Lu Bannong was an enemy rather than a friend. This Lu Bannong is definitely not as kind as he appears, and is as hypocritical as Lu Yingxue.

"Humph."

A strange cold snort came from her side.

Xiang Mingzhu on the other side sneered, "Qiao Xi, no one will help you this time. If Shen Xunzhi helps you, he will be out!"

Qiao Xi turned to look at her and said calmly: "As long as you don't cause trouble, I don't need help. I can win you no matter what in the primary election."

"You... Qiao Xi, don't be complacent. I will definitely be the leader of this acupuncture trial meeting." Xiang Mingzhu gritted his teeth and said harshly, "I really want to see you have your hand muscles disabled and kicked out of Chinese medicine. The scene in the world must be very interesting!”

Her tone was determined, as if the leader of the needle test conference was already within her grasp.

Qiao Xi looked at her flamboyant expression and felt suspicious.

What Xiang Mingzhu said was that she could get the leader of Chinese medicine, not Lu Yingxue?

What exactly is there to rely on?

In terms of strength, Xiang Mingzhu cannot compare to Lu Yingxue!

While she was thinking about it, Lu Bannong on the stage spoke again.

"The leader of this acupuncture trial conference directly entered the Chinese Medical Association and served as the vice president to contribute to our traditional Chinese medicine."

Everyone was in an uproar!

The young Chinese medicine practitioners were so excited that their faces turned red!

As long as you win, you will be the vice president!

One step to the sky!

Qiao Xi understood that this was Lu Bannong paving the way for Lu Yingxue!

If the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is completely controlled by this father and daughter, then other factions will have no chance at all. The other seniors on the stage are the elders of the Supervision Department of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and they rarely come forward to take care of things.

The Lu family father and daughter are very ambitious!

What's even more frightening is that many people feel that if Lu Yingxue wins, she deserves to be the vice president.

It can become a popular story!

The authority of Lu’s Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate, which has ruled the world of Chinese medicine for more than 20 years, cannot be broken so easily!

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, there was a long way to go.

"Now, the competition begins! The medicinal materials in front of you are your first round questions! After the traditional Chinese medicine is prepared, several seniors will judge the properties of the medicine one by one to determine the places for the next round!"

Lu Bannong's voice fell.

More than a hundred people in the audience lowered their heads and began to examine the Chinese medicinal materials.

There was licorice in front of Qiao Xi.

She reached out and picked up the licorice and smelled it. There was nothing unusual!

Others are here to participate in the competition, and she has to be careful about someone doing evil things.

Be careful everywhere!

There are several types of processing of traditional Chinese medicine, including honey roasting, stir-frying, vinegar stir-frying, salt water stir-frying, fire roasting and other processing methods.

The licorice Qiao Xi got needs honey.

There is so much knowledge here!

The honey of Zhizhi licorice is also divided into yellow and white. The honey in the north is thicker, while the honey in the south is rain-rich.

The quality of spring honey is better than that of other seasons. Raw honey cannot be used directly to make traditional Chinese medicine, but needs to undergo secondary processing.

According to different temperatures and moisture, after high-temperature treatment, it is divided into tender honey, medium honey and old honey.

Qiao Xi glanced at the jars in front of her one by one, and finally took out a jar of honey.

After cleaning the dried licorice rhizomes, add medium honey and stir-fry evenly.

Finally, take out the honey-roasted licorice slices and bake them until they are no longer sticky to your hands.

It's easy for her!

Qiao Xi glanced around with her peripheral vision and found that the medicinal materials everyone got were very common.

What Xiang Mingzhu got was Plantago Seeds, which can be stir-fried.

Lu Yingxue drew atractylodes and needed bran to fry it.

What Shen Xuanzhi took was Bupleurum, which needed to be fried with vinegar.

As for Han Jia and Li Songwen, who have met several times, it is traditional Chinese medicine that is stir-fried with wine. However, some Chinese medicine practitioners have only learned acupuncture and decoction, and are not good at processing Chinese medicine, and are helpless at the operating table.

The game is in full swing!

Suddenly, the entire venue was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

It doesn't smell bad, but it's quite novel.

While drinking tea and eating snacks, Sun Weimeng said vaguely: "This Chinese medicine preparation is like cooking. It's so fun. But Qiao Xi is with Xiang Mingzhu next to her, will she do something bad? If Xiang Mingzhu takes action, that's not all. Is it finished?"

Lao Chen reminded: "The rules are that you can't mess up, you will be disqualified on the spot."

Sun Weimeng was not at ease. He retorted: "What if we abandon the car to protect the commander? The Lu family sent Xiang Mingzhu and Qiao Xi to die together, then Qiao Xi will lose! We will lose even more!"

Just thinking about it scares me!

Whoever made the rule that you have to cut out the tendons of your hands is so vicious that you don’t even look like a traditional Chinese medicine doctor!

When he said this, Lao Chen panicked a little.

"Master, what should Madam do?"

Huo Xingzhou gently brushed the foam in the tea with the tea lid, then covered it with a clang.

He looked leisurely at Zhong Yi to one side, and opened his thin lips: "Mr. Zhong, can I take a step to speak?"

Zhong Yi on the side changed his sitting posture and said lazily: "Okay, it seems Mr. Huo wants something from me."

Sun Weimeng and Lao Chen looked at the two big guys.

They have a secret!

Why would you say anything behind their backs?
