Chapter 286 Identification and Compatibility of Herbal Medicines
boom--
Ye Tiance's words immediately caused an uproar.
Many customers have commented:
"Is this kid crazy? He actually chose to compete with Zuo Lao in his medical skills?"
"Mr. Zuo is the 15th generation medicine king. He is definitely the leader in terms of traditional Chinese medicine in our Jiangnan City. Even in the entire Tiannan Province, he is one of the top ones. How dare he challenge me? That's crazy!"
"Young people, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, I understand!"
"..."
Zuo Jingjing almost broke through the defense.
"What do you mean, kid, that I'm not challenging? Are you targeting me?"
Ye Tiance said calmly: "I'm just telling the truth, I don't mean anything against you!"
"You are arrogant!"
Zuo Jingjing was so angry that she clenched her fists, but her chest didn't rise at all (A cup couldn't help it).
Zuo Shanshui narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Xiaoyou Ye, are you sure? I'm not belittling myself. The last time I lost in a medical competition was at least thirty years ago.
During this period, countless people came to challenge, but all came back defeated. Young people are commendable for their courage, but they must also learn to feel guilty! "
Wu Xingye lowered his voice to remind.
"Mr. Ye, why don't you give it a try with Jingjing? After all, you are more confident. Brother Zuo's medical skills are at the peak, just in case..."
Ye Tiance smiled lightly and said: "There is no such thing as a chance. There is no such word as "lose" in my dictionary!"
When it comes to this matter, Wu Xingye will naturally not persuade him.
The rest of the onlookers, as well as the apprentices from Yaowang Valley, all naturally showed mocking expressions.
In their opinion, Ye Tiance insisted on testing his medical skills with Zuo Shanshui, and the result was very clear.
Ye Tiance must lose!
He also brags that the word "lose" is not in the dictionary. He is simply bragging!
Zuo Shanshui nodded and said: "In that case, I agree to test my medical skills with Ye Xiaoyou. If it's not convenient outside, let's invite him inside!"
"it is good!"
Under the leadership of Zuo Shanshui, everyone walked into the medicinal food room.
As expected, this medicinal kitchen was built with funding from the imperial court. The interior space is spacious and full of ancient charm.
What comes into view are rows of wooden medicine cabinets, with various medicinal materials placed on them, from dark-colored Ganoderma lucidum and wolfberry to light-colored chrysanthemums and lilies. The colors are colorful and look like a natural picture of medicinal materials.
Some ancient medical classics are hung on the surrounding walls, with neat handwriting and the fragrance of ink.
The air was filled with a faint aroma of medicinal herbs, and in the corner of the medicinal kitchen room, several apprentices were boiling herbs.
It is indeed the famous Yaowang Valley, exuding the heritage of Chinese medicine from the inside out!
Han Ruoyun said with emotion: "What a big Chinese medicine pharmacy. This is the first time I have seen it in my whole life."
Zuo Jingjing raised her chin and showed off a little proudly: "Hmph! That's not true. Our Medicine King Valley has been inherited for nearly a thousand years and has accumulated countless precious medicinal materials and medical classics. How can it be compared to those traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies outside?"
Zuo Shanshui stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Xiaoyou Ye, according to the rules of traditional Chinese medicine competition, it is generally divided into five categories: diagnostic problems, identification of ancient prescriptions, acupuncture techniques, identification and compatibility of herbal medicines, and emergency treatment.
We don’t need to compete one by one, we just need to choose one of them to compete. Xiaoyou Ye is a guest, so it’s up to you to choose the method of competition! "
Ye Tiance nodded and said: "Since we are in Yaowang Valley and there are Chinese herbal medicines everywhere in the medicine cabinet, how about making the identification and compatibility of herbal medicines convenient and simple?"
Hear this.
Everyone around them stared.
"No, you actually choose to identify and combine herbal medicines? This is the medical field that Mr. Zuo is best at!"
"Comparing the identification and compatibility of herbal medicines, what is the difference between this and showing off in front of Guan Gong?"
"If you ask me, this kid doesn't know any medical skills at all, so he is sensationalizing and attracting attention. Isn't he an old anchor trying to gain traffic?"
The onlookers and apprentices all expressed their opinions.
Zuo Jingjing even sneered: "My grandfather is ranked second in the field of identification and compatibility of herbal medicines with the surname Ye, but no one is ranked first in Tiannan Province. Don't overestimate your abilities!"
Ye Tiance ignored Zuo Jingjing's remarks.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Zuo, please tell me the rules of the competition!"
Zuo Shanshui introduced: “The rules are very simple, as long as whoever identifies more types of herbal medicines more accurately within the specified time will win.
For the sake of fairness, we can randomly assign people on site to randomly grab a number of Chinese herbal medicines, and then the two of us will identify the types and effects of the herbal medicines. How about whoever is more accurate will win? "
Hear this.
Wu Xingye on the side frowned slightly.
Such a competition may seem fair, but in fact Ye Tiance will suffer a great loss.
The reason is that Zuo Shanshui has been in Yaowang Valley all his life and is definitely more familiar with the various medicinal materials here than Ye Tiance.
But before he could remind him, Ye Tiance agreed without hesitation: "No problem, let's get started!"
Wu Xingye had no choice but to give up the reminder.
Stop gossiping.
Next, the customers and apprentices on site, including Han Ruoyun, all participated in randomly selecting Chinese herbal medicines from the medicine cabinet.
In the end, a total of 100 kinds of herbs were randomly selected, divided into two equal portions, placed in a tray, covered with red cloth, and placed in front of Ye Tiance and Zuo Shanshui respectively.
To be fair, neither of them specifically watched the process of selecting medicinal materials.
Next to the tray are pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Every time a medicinal material is identified, the name of the medicinal material and its indications must be written on the paper.
In the end, whoever consumes the shortest time and makes accurate judgments will win.
Zuo Shanshui stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Young friend Ye, this is Lao Chen's home field after all. As long as your error rate does not exceed 10, you will win this competition!"
"No more than 10? That means the accuracy is above 90%?"
Hearing this, the apprentices present were secretly stunned!
You must know that the herbal medicine shop is not a small pharmacy outside. There are only more than a hundred kinds of herbal medicines, and they are all common medicinal materials. Anyone who has worked in the pharmacy for a year and a half can identify the types and indications with the naked eye!
But the medicinal kitchen is different. There are more than thousands of types of Chinese herbal medicines. Among them, there are a large number of herbs with similar shapes but different effects, which can easily interfere with identification and judgment.
Not to mention the many rare and strange herbal medicines that are rarely or even not recorded in medical classics, and their compatibility methods and indications are incomplete.
Therefore, under the premise of randomly and blindly selecting 100 kinds of medicinal materials, even their apprentices, who have studied in the herbal kitchen for many years, can control the accuracy rate above 80%, which is very good!
Even Zuo Jingjing, who is extremely talented, has an accuracy rate of only about 90%.
Only Zuo Shanshui has superb medical skills and can maintain an accuracy rate of more than 95%. In rare cases, he can achieve 100%. This is also when he is lucky. (No Chinese medicines not recorded in Chinese medicine classics were selected)
Therefore, Ye Tiance is required to reach 90%. This condition is that if the benchmark reaches Zuo Jingjing's level, he will win.
Faced with Zuo Shanshui's kindness.
Ye Tiance smiled and said: "Lao Zuo's kindness is understood by me. Since the competition must be fair and just, I don't need special treatment!"
"it is good!"
Zuo Shanshui nodded.
In his opinion, regardless of Ye Tiance's medical skills, his upright heart alone is worthy of praise!
After both parties are ready.
As a judge, Wu Xingye said: "Then let's start the competition!"
