I practiced medicine in ancient times

"This girl is only twelve or thirteen years old. Her skills in making medicine look like it would take more than ten years of practice to reach this level. I don't know how she learned it. Your Huichun Clinic has found a good talent." Doctor Zhou looked in the direction of Xu Qingyi, his eyes full of admiration.

Afterwards, a look of regret appeared in his eyes. Doctor Zhou had been looking for a disciple who could inherit his medical skills. Seeing Xu Qingyi was so outstanding, he was very satisfied and even thought about accepting him as a disciple. However, he thought that Xu Qingyi was from the Rejuvenation Clinic, which was an opposing existence to the Miaoshou Clinic where he worked, and the Rejuvenation Clinic would not let him go, so there was no chance.

“The path of medicine is only a minor path. If one can achieve something in the path of medicine, then it is the right path. Besides, she is still a woman.

Besides, Shuifan Pills still need to go through a water test. If the water test fails, it will just be a paper tiger that looks good but is useless." Doctor Wang said with some disdain to Xu Qingyi.

"I don't agree with what Doctor Wang said. We all learn from the path of medicine step by step, and then gradually gain a deeper understanding of the characteristics and effects of various medicinal materials.

Then learn the way of medicine and master the methods of curing diseases. In my opinion, the way of medicine is not divided into big and small. Every kind of medicinal material and every method of curing diseases has its unique value and significance. Only by fully understanding and learning can we truly master the way of medicine.

However, what does it matter that she is a woman? There have been female medical experts in this world.

In fact, in some aspects, female doctors have more advantages than male doctors. " Doctor Xu saw that Doctor Wang looked down on Xu Qingyi, so he said to Doctor Wang unceremoniously.

There had been conflicts between their two clinics. Doctor Wang and Doctor Xu were both imperial physicians, so naturally there was competition between them. Xu Qingyi was from their Huichun Clinic, so he had to be protected even more. Naturally, he was not so polite to Doctor Wang.

"I'll just wait and see what she achieves in the future. We'll see."

Xu Qingyi knew nothing about the dispute between Doctor Xu and Doctor Wang.

She has entered the covering stage of making the water-filled pills.

What is surface covering? It means that the surface of pellets may not be dense and smooth enough, so it needs to be covered. There are many ways to cover, including dry powder covering, water covering and slurry covering, etc., aiming to make the surface of pellets denser and smoother.

Xu Qingyi adopted the relatively simple and quick method of covering the surface with dry powder.

After covering the dough, the Shuifanwan is basically completed, and it is noon at this time.

After a morning of intense labor, which was done with great skill, Xu Qingyi was very tired, and even felt sore in her hands, shoulders, waist and other parts.

After Xu Qingyi hurriedly finished his lunch, he immediately proceeded to the next step of drying.

Since the water-filled pills contain a lot of water, if you want to preserve them for a long time, you need to dry the water in the pills, so drying is an important step.

Drying water-flooded pills is also a technical and patient job, which requires constant turning of the pills to ensure that they are heated evenly and to avoid the occurrence of yin-yang side.

The appearance of the yin and yang sides will not only affect the quality of the pills, but also their efficacy. Therefore, you must remain highly alert and focused when drying the water-flooded pills. You need to always observe the state of the pills, and if you find any abnormalities, you must take immediate measures to adjust them.

It took Xu Qingyi a full hour to finish drying.

The next step is screening to remove unqualified products and make each water-filled pill the same size. After that, Xu Qingyi puts the screened water-filled pills in a round sealed sphere.

Keep turning the ball. The purpose of this step is to polish the water-filled balls and make their surface smooth and shiny.

After this step was completed, it was already the beginning of the afternoon. At this hour, the atmosphere in the entire pharmacy became tense.

Many people also prepared various dosage forms. Some were happy while others were worried. Some sought safety and made simple powders, while others were greedy and made ointments, but ended up failing.

The faces of successful people are filled with satisfaction and joy; the faces of unsuccessful people are frustrated, anxiously looking for the problem and trying to make up for it.

Xu Qingyi glanced at Wu Yao and saw that Wu Yao had just finished making the Shuifan Pills. The two of them nodded and handed in their papers first. Someone immediately took away the pills they had made and wrote down their names.

.........

"According to the old rules, scoring will be anonymous. This time, in addition to the six of us, the other six people who helped out will also participate in the scoring. After removing the highest and lowest scores, we will take the average score, and then the top ten will be selected according to the scores to enter the third round of competition." Doctor Xu spoke after the contestants in the second round handed in all the medicines.

"What Doctor Xu said is right. The six of us invigilating have basically seen the pills, powders, pastes and pills they made. In order to avoid suspicion, it is fair to let the six assistants participate." Doctor Zhou agreed with what Doctor Xu said and nodded.

Naturally, no one else had any objection, but Doctor Wang frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something. But when he saw that everyone else agreed, he did not say anything against it.

Afterwards, Doctor Xu had all the pills, powders, pastes and pills made for the competition be placed in rows with the names written next to them turned over. After they had given their scores and taken the average score, the names were turned over again.

"This honey pill is hollow inside. It's because it wasn't kneaded enough." After all the people who were scoring arrived, Doctor An took the lead. He pinched open a honey pill and found that it was hollow inside. He shook his head.

"The surface is rough. The powder should be ground finer, or the amount of honey should be increased and older honey should be used." A group of doctors carefully checked and identified the medicines. Where there were mistakes, they would comment on them one by one until the final score was given, and the highest and lowest scores would be removed, and the scores would be given on the spot.

…….

"The color of these water-filled pills is a little different. Either the powder is not evenly mixed or the cover is wrong."

…….

"The powder is uneven in size and has become a loose mass in such a short time."

........

"This internal ointment feels gritty because the temperature was not controlled properly and some of the medicine did not dissolve in it."

"In addition, the paste has also been charred. It seems that the preparation time is too short. The medicinal materials are not soaked long enough, so the medicinal materials have not absorbed enough water and will continue to absorb water during the decoction process."

"I didn't control the heat well when concentrating the cream at the end."

“Ointments are difficult to make. We have graded dozens of people, but only one person made ointments. These two problems are not serious, so we should be considerate of them.

Besides, the participants are all under 18 years old, so the ointment is already very good in this state." When commenting on an ointment for internal use, Doctor Wang saw someone commenting on the ointment's shortcomings, so he quickly spoke up for it.
