Chapter 651: Chapter 650: How Is This Kid Speaking Without Any Mistakes?
"Little Auntie" herself said this method was feasible, so it definitely must be.
Thinking this, these people still dared not speak out loud.
With the chairperson and "Little Auntie" not seeing eye to eye, if they chose this moment to argue with the chairperson, who knows if he would bear a grudge and assign them more tasks in the future.
Facing off against the chairperson was a job best left to the chairperson himself.
Wen Dajiang, seeing the evasive looks of the old Chinese Medicine practitioners of the Association, knew exactly what these old timers were thinking. His heart grew ever more defiant.
What could a child possibly be capable of?
He really wanted to see for himself!
The first test was a written one, and without looking at the last question, Su Mianmian had already passed. The next step was to prepare medicine, and according to the drawn question, it had to be prepared to the exact weight.
This test was far more important than the written one.
No matter how good one’s written exam results were, they were still theoretical. To see the true level of one’s medical skills, practical application was necessary.
Preparing medicine was of the utmost importance in practical applications. Medicine is three-fold poisonous, and many medicinal ingredients can either complement or counteract each other; only with the correct combination can they be effective. A single mistake could cost a patient their life.
Wen Dajiang decided to take charge of this round himself.
Otherwise, he feared that the old Chinese Medicine practitioners of the Association, who already liked Su Mianmian, might go easy on her.
"You go rest for 20 minutes before preparing the medicine," Wen Dajiang said as he put down the paper, speaking to Mianmian.
Mianmian shook her head, "No need to rest, no need to rest, Mianmian is very busy. I still need to do inspections later, let’s do the test now~"
Wen Dajiang was taken aback, "Inspections? You, going on inspections?"
How could such a little kid talk so comically? What was there to inspect, her own wardrobe, or was she off to Kindergarten?
"Yes, Mianmian also has to inspect the Zoo. I need to get close to the animals and soothe their emotions," Mianmian replied to Wen Dajiang while urging, "Let’s start the test already."
Since Mianmian had asked twice, Wen Dajiang showed no further courtesy.
He led Mianmian to another classroom, where medicine cabinets were set up, with the names of the ingredients written above each small cabinet. To ensure the smooth conduct of the exam, all the ingredients inside had been prepared overnight upon receipt of the application.
Of course, to test the examinees’ real abilities, many of the ingredients were deliberately mislabeled. It was a trap they had prepared to see if the examinees would fall for it and be eliminated.
Wen Dajiang asked Mianmian if she was ready; he was about to present the first question.
Mianmian sniffed with her little nose and nodded, "All ready, just test me on anything."
Wen Dajiang said, "Imagine a patient, thin and weighing only 80 pounds, yet with a belly as big as a pregnant woman’s, and he’s a man. He often suffers from debilitating stomach pain, and his rear is itchy in the middle of the night. His body is weak and he’s deficient in both qi and blood. How would you treat him with Chinese Medicine?"
After hearing the question, Mianmian took the small scale and shovel for measuring medicine and climbed the ladder to the cabinet with Arsenic Trioxide.
As soon as she opened it, Mianmian frowned.
The cabinet was labeled Arsenic Trioxide on the outside, but the substance inside was not Arsenic Trioxide; it was rice flour.
The two look the same in color, but certainly cannot be used interchangeably.
Noticing that the Arsenic Trioxide was incorrect, Mianmian didn’t take the medicine but turned to look at Wen Dajiang instead.
She saw Wen Dajiang watching her with a smile, as if waiting for her to embarrass herself. Using her fingers to calculate the direction, she then moved the ladder and located the real Arsenic Trioxide in an unmarked row of cabinets.
While taking the Arsenic Trioxide, she explained, "The male patient’s swollen belly and emaciated body, along with weakness and qi deficiency, indicate intestinal parasites. Arsenic Trioxide is highly effective against parasites. Prescribe an ounce of Arsenic Trioxide as a guide, divided into three-day dosages. During administration, the patient must not eat and only drink water. Complement this with Wolfberries... among other medicine, to nourish the body, and results should appear within ten days."
Mianmian enunciated clearly, her analysis of the case meticulous.
She brought the prepared medicine to Wen Dajiang, waiting for his judgment.
The smile on Wen Dajiang’s face turned somewhat rigid.
Coming right off the bat with such a tricky question, with the ingredients swapped, he was indeed trying to stump Su Mianmian. Whether or not she discovered the wrong Arsenic Trioxide, Su Mianmian was bound to be busy searching for the real one by the cabinets.
Yet now, with just a few twists of her fingers, Mianmian accurately found the location of the Arsenic Trioxide and took the exact right amount.
Not only that, but Mianmian’s instructions for administration and follow-up medication were all correct; he couldn’t even find a nit to pick.
Fine, let’s assume Su Mianmian actually understood pharmacology.
But how did Su Mianmian find the real Arsenic Trioxide so quickly, who tipped her off?
Wen Dajiang’s eyes swept over the people in the Association with a piercing gaze.
A bunch of old folks, fully aware Wen Dajiang’s displeasure, were measuredly inspected by him.
They were certainly not the type to help an examinee cheat! If Su Mianmian found the Arsenic Trioxide, it must have been due to her divination abilities, what did that have to do with them?
Wen Dajiang’s gaze finally fell on Hong Jinshui.
He had seen earlier that Hong Jinshui was quite close to the Su Family; perhaps he’d been bribed to leak information in advance!
Hong Jinshui himself knew Wen Dajiang was doubting him; he straightened his beer belly and looked nonchalant.
When Mianmian saw that Wen Dajiang was still not declaring that she had answered the question correctly, she moved the ladder in front of him.
Then she climbed up onto a chair so she could look Wen Dajiang in the eye.
"Don’t stare at them. Mianmian knew where the Arsenic Trioxide was because Mianmian can divine. Just calculate the direction, and it becomes clear."
Wen Dajiang was incredulous, "Ha, feudal superstition, how could you possibly find Arsenic Trioxide by divining?"
"If you don’t believe it, Mianmian can divine for you," Mianmian’s eyes twinkled with mischief, "You had scallions with a pancake this morning, and to make sure the smell wouldn’t linger, you chewed on mint leaves at home and swallowed them, right?"
Wen Dajiang was stunned; how could this child have gotten it exactly right?
He did indeed have scallions with a pancake that morning, which was delicious and fragrant.
However, considering he might see his first love, he did not want to go with the smell on his breath, so he did indeed pick fresh mint leaves and chewed them up before swallowing.
Chewing mint leaves was much better for freshening one’s breath than toothpaste! After all, these were things discovered by our ancestors!
"How, how did you know that?" Wen Dajiang couldn’t believe it, "Did your family install surveillance in my house to get leverage on me? I’m telling you, that’s illegal."
Mianmian blinked her eyes innocently, "You even know about surveillance? Mianmian thought you wouldn’t use any high-tech stuff at all, not even know there’s such a thing as surveillance in this world."
Wen Dajiang was at the brink of fainting from Mianmian’s mocking tone.
He turned bright red, and the malign qi took the opportunity to seep into his seven orifices.
Mianmian did not intervene; these things still could not affect Wen Dajiang for now. The merit from saving people with his medical skills would allow him to hold on for a bit longer.
