Chapter 342 Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Activity Begins
Kong Wange clicked on it and found that it was a live monitoring video shared with her by Chi Bao. The monitoring screen was facing the medicine room of Yudao Academy. At this moment, the screen was completely dark and nothing could be seen.
She tapped her finger lightly on the table.
Wen Xiaoxiao's act of breaking the surveillance cameras in the middle of the night is most likely related to tomorrow's pharmaceutical event.
What kind of mischief is this woman up to now?
...
Time flew by and it was the next morning.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Kong Wange set off for Yudaoyuan.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a number of people standing outside the pharmaceutical room. Leng Jun, Xiao Ju Zi, and Chen Ge were already there, and they greeted her as soon as they saw her.
Kong Wange pushed her way through the crowd: "Why are there so many people?"
"The event was huge. Although only our grade was competing, upperclassmen who didn't have classes all came to join in the fun."
Leng Jun sighed, "I heard that the first place winner in the last year was Wen Luoyun from the Wen family. I wonder who will be the first place winner this year. Fifty credits are really tempting. They're equivalent to doing ten or so tasks."
"That's right. I think most of the people participating in this competition are here for the academic credits."
Little Orange chimed in from the side, glancing at Chen Ge beside her as she spoke: "Only this idiot is so obsessed with winning the third prize."
Kong Wange thought for a moment about what the third prize was, then instantly realized and laughed, "The third prize is pretty good too, a thousand-yuan meal card, how practical."
"Well, that's right, what do you know?" Chen Ge snorted at Xiao Ju Zi, "Credits are easy to come by, but meal cards are not. Besides, everyone is aiming for first place. I lower my goal and don't compete with them. That's called wisdom!"
"Tch, what's with all this talk about wisdom? I think you're just a coward~"
"Zhu Ju, you've gone too far."
"Did I expose you? Are you getting angry? Hehehe, come and hit me if you dare!"
The two started arguing again after a disagreement, and Kong Wange shook her head helplessly.
Leng Jun laughed: "Don't you think these two are too noisy? Now you know, they always let loose like this in front of people they know well."
Kong Wange smiled and was about to say something when a teacher came over to remind her that the event was about to start and that registered students should scan their codes to enter.
Leng Jun then called to Xiao Ju Zi and Shen Ge, and the four of them stopped chatting and went into the medicine room together.
There are three pharmaceutical preparation rooms in total, each averaging nearly 200 square meters. They are quite large, but because they contain a lot of equipment, they don't feel too empty.
Kong Wange was in Room A, Leng Jun was in Room B, and Chen Ge and Xiao Ju Zi were assigned to Room C.
Rooms A and C are connected, while Room B is located opposite the two pharmaceutical preparation rooms.
After exchanging words of encouragement, the group parted ways and went to their respective venues.
Inside the pharmaceutical room, each person had two small stoves and a small table in front of them. On the table were scales, tweezers, disposable gloves, and other supplies. On the stove was a small earthenware pot, and there were many other utensils nearby.
Each person's name was written on a small table. Kong Wange found her seat and discovered that she was sitting at the very back, next to Wen Xiaoxiao.
She turned on her phone and glanced at the surveillance footage on her watch—the camera could clearly capture the other person's every move.
After confirming, she turned off her phone.
Across from her, Li Jing was fanning Wen Xiaoxiao with a fan, while several of her girlfriends were praising her smelly feet.
"Xiaoxiao, what kind of makeup are you wearing today? It looks so good, sweet yet powerful. You're definitely going to win first place."
"Xiaoxiao, you're usually so close to Teacher Shen, so how about it? Do you have any inside information to share? I think you're definitely confident of getting first place this time, right?"
Wen Xiaoxiao glanced at her, raised her chin and said, "I am quite confident in getting first place, but it has nothing to do with being close to Teacher Shen. You can't just say things like that."
"Hey, right, right, look at what I'm saying! Xiaoxiao's strength is undeniable, first place is definitely a piece of cake!"
"I wonder how well that little bitch Kong Wange is prepared this time. I hope she doesn't have the guts to run into Xiaoxiao again."
Wen Xiaoxiao glanced at Kong Wange not far away, snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "If she has the ability, let her come. As the successor of the Wen family's medicine lineage, am I afraid of her? Just watch, in today's competition, she will definitely be crushed under my feet."
Listening to their conversation from behind, Kong Wange sneered inwardly, and at the same time became even more certain that Wen Xiaoxiao was definitely going to do something in class, otherwise where would she get the confidence to step on her?
The people at the table were all thinking different things when the loudspeaker rang out, and Han Fei's voice came through: "Hello everyone, welcome to this pharmaceutical manufacturing activity. This activity focuses on exchange, with competition as a secondary element. I hope everyone can grow and gain something from this activity. Now I will announce the details of the activity."
"This activity is an individual activity. Everyone needs to make three kinds of Chinese medicine pills: Xiaoyao Pill, Buyi Zisheng Pill, and Shennong Bencao Pill. You can pick up any medicinal materials you need from the pharmacy at the back during the activity. You have three hours. Good luck, everyone!"
The broadcast ended, and an uproar immediately broke out below.
"What the heck is this 'Xiaoyao Pill' and 'Buyi Zisheng Pill'? I've at least learned about them, but what the heck is this 'Shennong Herbal Pill'?"
"This stuff is only sold in big pharmacies, I've never seen it in small pharmacies, and it's a kind of obscure medicine, I've never paid attention to it before."
"I knew the academy wouldn't be so kind as to give us credits. If you ask me, this third pill is just widening the gap between us and the masters. The Xiaoyao Pill is the easiest to make, followed by the Buyi Zisheng Pill, but the most difficult one is the Shennong Bencao Pill. Anyone who can make it must be well-read and have top-notch experience. Anyway, if anyone can make this pill this time, I will definitely accept first place!"
"Alright, everyone, please be quiet," the teacher supervising discipline called out loudly. "There are still three minutes before the activity starts. Instead of chatting, why don't you think carefully about what medicinal herbs you need to prepare the medicine later?"
As soon as the teacher said that, everyone quieted down and waited for the time to go to the back pharmacy to choose the medicinal herbs.
In the corner, Kong Wange was also pondering these three pills. Just like the classmates had just discussed, Xiaoyao Pills were relatively simple, with the main ingredients being Angelica sinensis, Bupleurum chinense, Paeonia lactiflora, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis. As long as the dosage and cooking time were well controlled, it would be fine.
Making Buyi Zisheng Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) isn't too difficult; the main challenge is the large number of medicinal ingredients, roughly a dozen or so, and the order in which they are prepared is quite important.
The most troublesome thing is that Shennong Herbal Pill. If I remember correctly, this herb was mentioned in the book that Bai Chenwu had read before.
This activity was attended by first-year students from the college. To reduce the difficulty, there were no restrictions on bringing electronic devices. After all, what is written on paper and what is actually done are not the same thing. It would be great if everyone could do it based on their previous experience and the information provided.
