I practiced medicine in ancient times

"Your name is Xu Qingyi, right? Tell everyone what's wrong with this batch of roasted licorice. Tell us about it." Master Zhang recalled the name of the apprentice who passed the assessment the day before. He remembered Xu Qingyi and pointed at Xu Qingyi and told everyone about the problem with this batch of roasted licorice.

"This batch of roasted licorice looks dark yellow in color and is not sticky when held in the hand, which meets the standards for roasted licorice.

But when you touch it, your hands will be stained with a faint yellow-red color, which is barely noticeable. There is also a special sweet fragrance mixed in with the smell. This fragrance is not the rich and light taste of pure honey.

I guess someone must have added a certain amount of brown sugar when preparing this batch of roasted licorice, which made it look like the real thing." Xu Qingyi said slowly.

When she went to the drying room before, she smelled a special sweet smell before she got close, and soon she found out that this batch of roasted licorice was mixed with brown sugar.

However, the brown sugar is added cleverly, neither too much nor too little. The roasted licorice prepared from this batch can be mistaken for the real thing in terms of color and the fact that it does not stick to the hands.

Look, all of this has fooled Master Zhang’s eyes.

“Yes, this batch of roasted licorice was indeed mixed with brown sugar.

The auxiliary materials used in preparing medicinal materials have clear regulations and dosages, and they are also registered, with detailed records of the people who have come into contact with them.

Who replaced the honey used to make the roasted licorice with brown sugar? Come out now, immediately, and step forward immediately. "Master Zhang's sharp eyes swept over the apprentices present one by one.

The preparation of medicinal materials requires a lot of good things, such as honey, black beans, wine, vinegar, salt, etc., and these are replaced with inferior things for preparation, the prepared medicinal materials can be indistinguishable from the real ones, and then the good things are sold for money to make a profit. Many people did this in the early years. No one has done this for almost ten years. Unexpectedly, an apprentice would appear under his hands again. This is a slap in his face.

"You and I, come out. Did you two switch places?" Master Li soon spotted two panic-stricken apprentices among the group of apprentices. It was obvious that they were guilty of their crimes.

"Master Li, we won't dare to do it again." The two apprentices' faces changed and they begged for mercy quickly.

"You two got connections from outside to study medicine at the Rejuvenation Clinic, but you didn't sell your bodies to the Clinic. If you're not one of us, it's really hard to use you.

From now on, both of you are no longer apprentices of my Rejuvenation Clinic. Pack up your things and leave immediately.

In addition, you apprentices who sell your bodies to the clinic, remember this: if you do something dishonest and are discovered, the clinic will beat you to death, and you will have no place to seek justice at home. Your life is in your own hands. If you don't do it, you won't die." Master Zhang made an example of the apprentices who sold their bodies to the clinic.

The other apprentices were so frightened by Master Zhang's gloomy face and harsh words that they dared not utter a word.

They were well aware of Master Zhang's strictness and the clinic's rules, and dared not neglect them in the slightest. Only apprentices who had not sold themselves to the clinic could cross the clinic's red line.

In this clinic, they sold themselves to become apprentices. Although they learned a skill and were able to make a living, they also lost their freedom.

Master Li's words gave the apprentices a chill. They knew that if they were found to be dishonest, the clinic would never tolerate it. Their lives were in their own hands, and if they did not cherish them, they would die.

Master Zhang's strictness and harshness taught the apprentices to be honest and not to do dishonorable things for the sake of temporary benefits.

In the clinic, these apprentices not only have to learn medical skills, but also learn how to be a good person.

The other two apprentices who were expelled from the clinic wanted to beg for mercy, but Zhong Yun called a few apprentices, covered their mouths, and took them away.

"Everyone, go away and get to work." After punishing the two apprentices, Master Li asked everyone to go back to work.

"Xu..., Xu Qingyi, right? Come with me." At this time, Master Li called Xu Qingyi.

Master Zhang didn't know what his cousin asked Xu Qingyi to do, so out of curiosity, he followed his cousin.

"Yes." Xu Qingyi seemed to be stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she lowered her head and followed Master Li with a faint smile on her lips.

It seems to have always been in my plan.

When she arrived at the door of the warehouse of the Rejuvenation Clinic, she did not show any surprise, as if she had expected it.

"You sit over there and wait. I'll bring some medicine over for you to take a look." After entering the warehouse, Master Li pointed at the big table at the entrance and said to Xu Qingyi.

As for his cousin, he was automatically ignored.

When Master Zhang saw his cousin like this, he seemed to have thought of something and his face looked thoughtful.

"Okay." Xu Qingyi slightly suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked around the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored.

The warehouse is not small. On the rows of shelves are layers of porcelain jars. In the jars are some medicines that need to be prevented from pollution, sugar-rich medicines, honey-roasted products that should be stored in a sealed manner, and precious medicines that should be sealed.

In addition, there are snakeskin bags and large wooden boxes in the warehouse, which emit a strong medicinal aroma.

Soon, Master Li asked two apprentices who were in charge of the warehouse to bring in more than a dozen varieties of medicinal herbs and place them on the rectangular table at the entrance.

"Come forward and take a look at these herbs." Master Li waved at Xu Qingyi, motioning her to come forward.

He didn't even say what was wrong with these herbs, as if he was testing Xu Qingyi.

"Okay, this is wine angelica, the cut surface is light yellow with a few burnt spots. The aroma is strong, but not like wine. Hmm! It has a rice aroma, and the color is not pure. This wine angelica should be made with rice wine, not yellow wine.

The surface of this method of processing Pinellia is light yellowish white, the texture is crispy or hard, and it feels delicate to the touch. The processing method of Pinellia should use lime and licorice, but this one uses talc, which does not meet the processing standards.

This is fried Codonopsis pilosula with rice. It is fried with rice, but the rice aroma is not strong enough. It is not fried with pure rice, but with brown rice to cut corners.

This is......." Xu Qingyi identified these herbs one by one, looking, smelling, tasting and touching them, and soon he could tell the names and qualities of these herbs.

Her movements were skillful and smooth. She looked, smelled, tasted and touched, and every step was just right.

Xu Qingyi gently presses the herbs with her fingers to feel the changes in their texture and elasticity; she puts her nose close to them, takes a deep breath, and captures the subtle aroma; she even carefully tries a little bit of the flavor of the herbs to use her taste buds to feel their inner quality.

At this moment, Xu Qingyi's movements had a unique charm and beauty in the eyes of Master Zhang, Master Li and others.

Master Zhang and Master Li already knew what was wrong with these medicinal materials.

Master Zhang and Master Li were amazed to see that Xu Qingyi could accurately identify the problems with the medicinal materials at an extremely fast speed.
