"Everyone, you can press the bell at any time to start."
The staff placed the bamboo baskets and prescriptions on the worktable.
"So many? How long will it take to find them?"
Zhang Lanyu peeked out and sighed repeatedly.
"Some of the medicinal herbs here are easily confused, so everyone needs to look carefully."
Liang Shaoqing also stood on tiptoe to look, his brows furrowing.
"The most important thing now is to decide who goes first."
Xu Qiuyue looked at everyone, her gaze questioning, "Who wants to go first?"
"My foundation in traditional Chinese medicine is average, and I'm prone to making mistakes if I'm too nervous."
Zhang Lanyu immediately waved her hand.
"I could give it a try."
"But I'm also afraid of making mistakes if I'm the one doing the operation."
Liang Shaoqing also hesitated.
"I don't know what a scale is..."
"Prescribing medicine is my weakness."
The other team members also shook their heads.
They all looked tense, as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"Don't be nervous, I'll go first in the first round."
Lin Fan stepped forward without hesitation, "Shaoqing, you'll be my assistant, is that alright?"
"no problem!"
Liang Shaoqing readily agreed.
For no other reason than Lin Fan's medical skills!
"If you are ready, press the red alarm on the control panel."
"We're starting to time you."
The staff member was also checking the time and urged, "It's almost one minute."
"jingle!"
"bite."
As Lin Fan stepped forward and pressed the button, the nearby bells also rang incessantly.
Nobody wants to waste time!
"Brother Lin, what should I do?"
Liang Shaoqing stood at the workbench, still somewhat bewildered as he looked at the medicinal herbs.
"Pour out the medicinal herbs and sort them first."
"Take out as many as you know, and leave the rest to me."
Lin Fan had already picked up a basket and started emptying the medicinal herbs.
"good."
Liang Shaoqing also helped out.
"Splash."
The sound of medicinal herbs being dumped could also be heard from other competition areas.
Liang Shaoqing scratched his head vigorously, his eyes scanning the medicinal herbs in front of him, but he hesitated to make a move.
"Shaoqing, don't panic."
Lin Fan encouraged him, "Pick out the ones you are most familiar with and most confident in first."
Give me anything you don't recognize or are unsure about.
As he spoke, he picked up several herbs and began preparing the medicine.
The movements were very skillful, without the slightest hesitation.
"Familiar..."
Liang Shaoqing muttered to himself, forcing himself to calm down.
He began quickly selecting people he knew.
The more you choose, the more comfortable you feel; the more you search, the more confident you become.
Their movements gradually became more skillful.
Lin Fan picked up the prescription and carefully read it over.
They placed the arranged medicinal herbs on the prescription, and stopped to carefully identify any that were similar and easily confused.
Finally, I picked up the steelyard from the side of the workbench and began to weigh the items carefully.
"One gram, two grams."
"One ounce of Codonopsis pilosula is needed."
"Three grams of mint is just right."
He kept muttering to himself, trying to coordinate his brain and hands.
"come on!"
Zhang Lanyu went over to the control panel to encourage the two of them.
Xu Qiuyue stood to the side, her eyes also showing tension.
He kept an eye on Lin Fan and Liang Shaoqing's progress from time to time, and also kept an eye on the situation of other teams around them.
The staff just watched from a distance; as long as they didn't offer any help, standing by and cheering wasn't against any rules.
"jingle!"
The alarm sounded in area A08, which was not far from them, and the green indicator light on the control panel suddenly lit up.
"Holy crap!"
Zhang Lanyu exclaimed in surprise, "Someone has already paired them up so quickly?"
"It's him."
Xu Qiu immediately looked up and saw, "Wang Luobin, the captain of the Shaanxi team."
"Wang Luobin? Is he very famous?"
Zhang Lanyu asked curiously.
"Yes, he comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, whose family has practiced medicine for generations."
Xu Qiuyue nodded. "It is said that he also has great talent in the field of traditional Chinese medicine."
Their family owns a chain of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, with branches even in Beijing.
"Wow, that's amazing? It's only taken a short time, less than half the usual amount of time."
"If it were me, I probably wouldn't even have figured out half of it yet."
Zhang Lanyu clicked her tongue in amazement, looking on with envy, "If I had these skills, I could take off from dispensing medicine in no time."
These words earned Xu Qiuyue rolling her eyes.
"alright."
Lin Fan clapped his hands.
"nailed it?"
Zhang Lanyu immediately came to her senses.
Lin Fan simply nodded and reached out to press the red alarm bell on the control panel.
"jingle!"
The green indicator light on the control panel also lit up.
As the bell rang, two staff members came over.
One of them was wearing a jury badge around his neck.
"Professor Sun, they've finished theirs too."
The staff member said to the judge.
"Liu Tao, bring me the prescription they prepared."
"Put away the remaining medicinal herbs as well."
The elderly man, referred to as Professor Sun, nodded.
"Okay, Professor Sun."
Liu Tao immediately stepped forward and began to tidy up.
Lin Fan's gaze fell on Professor Sun's work ID—Sun Boran.
The name looks familiar; I think I've seen this person's name in a report on traditional Chinese medicine research.
Just as Lin Fan and his team finished, alarm bells began to ring out in various competition areas around them.
The green light also started flashing.
"They've all rang the bell so quickly?"
