Chapter 248 The First Examination, Herb Distinguishing!
”Fang Qiu?”
Just as everyone was praising Fang Qiu, a young man in the crowd pouted and said, ”Humph, he's only a freshman and his strength is just so so. You've never seen him before. How dare you praise him so high?”
Hearing that, everyone turned their heads at once.
They found the speaker was a young man in his twenties.
At this time, the young man's face was full of disdain and arrogance.
”Fang Qiu has won great glory for Chinese Medicine. What right do you have to belittle him?”
”Yes, why didn't you take Li Wenbo's challenge?”
”Fang Qiu is nobody, then who are you?”
”Now, everyone in China knows Fang Qiu, but who knows you?”
”Speak without thinking, and pretend without choosing the right moment!”
Everyone began to refute.
”Humph.”
Becoming a public enemy in an instant, the young man snorted and said, ”It's just the pulse of pregnancy. Why boast such a simple thing? If there is a chance, I must go to challenge Fang Qiu to show you what real strength is!”
Everyone began to sneer at his words.
This guy was so arrogant.
To be arrogant needed capital, didn't it?
But the young man had been talking without doing anything.
Moreover, was Fang Qiu somebody he could doubt? Members of the Chinese Medicine community had already approved Fang Qiu, so had even western medical physicians. For what reason could he doubt Fang Qiu?
Standing alone at the wall and listening to the quarrel in the courtyard, Fang Qiu revealed a cool smile and kept waiting for the first assessment of the Physician's Qualification Certificate.
Fang Qiu learned early from Xu Miaolin that there were three examinations of the Physician's Qualification Certificate.
The first one was herb distinguishing, the second one the four diagnostic methods, and the third one the prescription.
These three exams were exactly what Fang Qiu studied in this month.
It seemed that Xu Miaolin arranged it deliberately.
However, after careful consideration, it was not a deliberate arrangement. After all, these three skills were the most basic things that Chinese Medicine physicians must master.
They didn't wait for a very long time.
At 9 a.m.
”Pitter-patter...”
A series of footsteps came.
Everyone in the courtyard immediately became silent.
Looking at the direction of the sound, they saw a middle-aged man coming from the backyard with a stack of data in his hand.
”Are all of you here to take part in the examination of Physician's Qualification Certificate?” the middle-aged man asked.
The crowd nodded.
”Well, I'm going to call the roll now. Take a step back if your name is called. And those who are not called come to my back please.”
Then, the middle-aged man began to call the roll at once.
As everyone knew, the purpose of the roll call was to verify the personal information of those who had signed up for the test and to isolate those who had not signed up or who were not qualified at the same time.
The middle-aged man called the roll very quickly.
He called more than ten people's names in a little while.
The others, including Fang Qiu, all walked to the middle-aged man and stood behind him.
The remaining ten or so people began to look at each other.
At this time, the middle-aged man who called the roll spoke.
”Though signed up, you're all not qualified. Some of you just started to study Chinese Medicine last month, and come here to take the Physician's Qualification Examination this month. Are you here for fun? Are you aiming at getting a certificate and then killing the patients?!”
”How dare you have the nerve to take the exam without even knowing the basic conditions? Get out of here!”
While speaking, the middle-aged man made a severe stare at the dozen people.
Then, he turned to the fifty others behind him, ”Come in with me.”
Finishing his words, he took the crowd to go deep into the courtyard.
Those hundreds of people arrived at the inner courtyard, led by the middle-aged man.
”The rooms in front of you are the examination rooms, and these are the invigilators of your first exam,” the middle-aged man said, after glancing at the fifty people.
Then, he started to divide them into groups.
After a short while, he announced, ”Candidates enter the rooms now.”
Hearing that, the invigilator of each examination room opened the doors one after another.
Candidates also entered one by one.
Fang Qiu was assigned to the No. 1 examination room.
Entering the examination room, he discovered that this room was extremely big.
In the room, the independent examination desks and chairs were placed in a circle, and in the center of which, there were rows of long tables with piles of herbs on them.
Standing at the long table, the invigilator said, ”Find your own place to sit down.”
The fifty students all seated at the same time.
”Now, I'll announce the rules of this test.”
The invigilator cleared his throat with a cough and said, ”In this exam, each of you will come here to draw a test paper, and then get the herbs according to the list on the test paper.”
”Remember, when you get a kind of herb, don't take it all. If you do that, how can the next ones continue the exam? This test is not testing your skill to weigh herbs, but to distinguish them. So, just take a few of any kind of herb. Do you understand?”
Upon hearing that, the crowd nodded their understanding.
”The exam will last thirty minutes.”
”Now, start to draw your test paper!”
”Who'll go first?” asked the invigilator.
As the voice just faded away, that extremely arrogant young man rose at once, stepped forward, and drew one out of fifty different papers.
Then, the others also stepped forward to draw their papers.
After that, many of them began to frown with a dignified face.
