Chapter 50 Game Day
On the day of the competition, an open space was cleared in the lobby of the inn, and the contestants entered the open space in the order they were called. The group surrounded the contestants in the middle.

An Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and glanced casually, and saw Da Wu smiling foolishly, with his two little ones waving at her non-stop, her heart warmed up, and she waved in response.

"Cough." The innkeeper coughed, cleared his throat, and opened his mouth. "The competition consists of three levels. Each level is timed by a funnel. Only by answering the questions correctly in each level and using the time according to the rules can you enter the next level."

"Those who pass three passes can represent Baituo Town to participate in the county competition."

The people below began to whisper, the innkeeper patted the board, and the gong sounded, officially starting the game.

The first level is to smell and know the medicine.

As the name suggests, this level requires everyone to cover their eyes and write the names of the medicinal materials by smelling the medicinal materials in the bowl. There are 24 kinds of medicinal materials on the wooden table. Before the funnel drains the water, they need to write the names of the [-] medicinal materials in order. The above can be passed.

A piece of cake.An Xiaoxiao covered herself with a black cloth and raised the corners of her mouth.

After smelling them one by one in order, she wrote down the names of the medicinal materials one by one on the paper. After confirming that they were correct, she raised her hand to signal the servants to take the paper away, and was taken aside to wait blindfolded.

"One of the contestants has already answered." The shopkeeper's words sounded at the right time.The contestants took a deep breath and sped up their movements one after another.

When the black cloth was untied again, and the medicinal materials on the table were displayed in front of everyone, An Xiaoxiao scanned them roughly, and began to wait for the next level with peace of mind.

The first level was not difficult, only three people were screened out, An Xiaoxiao paused, and saw that Village Chief An was among the remaining people.

Village head An smiled smugly, as if he had already won, An Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows and looked away.

The second hurdle began soon, and the yamen servant gave each person a pill the size of a black adult woman's thumb, along with a glass of water.

"The second level is to taste and know the medicine." The shopkeeper explained to everyone present: "After taking the medicine, the contestants need to write down the pill prescription on the paper. It is not necessary to write down the specific gravity. Write down the medicine before the funnel runs out. For the prescription, you can enter the next level."

"This pill is for nourishing purposes and is harmless to the body. You can take it with confidence."

The sound of the gong sounded again. An Xiaoxiao broke open the pill, first crushed it carefully with her thumb, and after careful observation, she lightly licked her fingertips with the tip of her tongue to feel the taste intently.

It was astringent at first, and after the pill melted, the astringency turned to bitterness, An Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, and wrote down the prescription directly.She checked the side again and was about to hand in the paper with her hand raised, when the shopkeeper's voice suddenly sounded: "Pay attention to the time, after writing the materials used for the pill, please submit it as soon as possible."

What's the meaning?An Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then licked her fingertips again. This time, besides astringency and bitterness, the tip of her tongue was a little more numb.

She frowned, put the pill into the tip of her nose and smelled it, her face showed surprise, and then she broke into a smile.

interesting.

No wonder what materials are used, not what medicinal materials are used.

An Xiaoxiao glanced at the innkeeper, the two of them happened to meet each other, the latter paused slightly, and gently looked away.

Thank you.

This time it was really called the roll, and it was the first place in the audience, and everyone in the audience showed amazement.

"Which village is this representative? It's too powerful."

"When you look at it, you are impatient and want to be the first in everything. How can such a person be the first."

An Shuyue heard the conversation clearly from the side, and she shouted unconvinced: "Mother, come on!"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on An Xiaoxiao. The squire patted the board and said, "Don't disturb the competition site."

Da Wu held An Shuyue's head down, bowed his head to apologize, An Xiaoxiao covered her face and turned her back.

As expected in the second level, most of the people were wiped out, except for An Xiaoxiao, only one man and one woman were left in the field.

"I don't accept it! The answer you gave me is wrong!" Someone from below suddenly roared, causing a commotion, "Repay the money! You took my money!"

A man who was eliminated in the second stage outside the arena yelled loudly and was about to rush up to the high platform, but was dragged out on the ground by the yamen servant who rushed over after hearing the sound. The squire on the stage calmly stroked his beard with his hands He smiled and said, "It's just nonsense, let's continue the game."

An Xiaoxiao turned her eyes to the outside, and Village Chief An stood outside, with a lustful face as if dripping water.She raised her eyebrows slightly, and she understood.

She just said, Village Chief An has this ability?

The third level began soon, this time the difficulty was doubled, and the yamen servant brought everyone a bowl of concoction.

"This time, whoever writes the correct prescription first and takes the shortest time wins." The shopkeeper said concisely, and after explaining the rules, he directly rang the gong.

Medicinal juice is not as good as pills. The taste of juice is not as direct as taking pills directly, and many kinds of medicines are mixed together. The medicine with weak smell is easily overwhelmed by the medicine with strong taste. If you are not careful, you will miss one.

The audience around knew that this was the last match, and they all held their breath for fear of disturbing them.

Compared to the two with dignified expressions, An Xiaoxiao seemed much more relaxed. She took a sip of the soup and wrote directly.Seeing her performance, the squires on the stage looked at each other with delicate expressions.

An Xiaoxiao, who was familiar with the competition routine this time, quickly finished writing the recipe.She looked up at the two who were still writing, and began to wonder if it would be too embarrassing if she was the first to submit again, or wait?

"Contestants don't look around, just raise your hands and hand in the paper after writing." This time it was the squire on the stage who issued a reminder.An Xiaoxiao looked away and handed the paper directly to the shopkeeper.

There were boos from the audience, some admired and some disdainful. An Xiaoxiao didn't care and stood there with her arms folded.

The paper was quickly handed over to the squire, and An Xiaoxiao turned his gaze to the other two.They are not affected by the surroundings at all, and continue to write prescriptions, with a calm momentum and a calm manner.

It's interesting to compete with this kind of person.

Thinking of Village Chief An's gloomy face just now, An Xiaoxiao pouted.

"The game is over, Daoxiang Village An Xiaoxiao wins!"

The sound of the gong suddenly sounded, pulling back An Xiaoxiao's thoughts. An Shuyue took An Yuce's hand and was the first to cheer: "Mother! That's great!!"

An Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, and saw Da Wu and the two little ones in the crowd. Da Wu's eyes were as bright and scorching as ever, and the two looked at each other across the crowd.

"Congratulations." After the game, the other two came to congratulate An Xiaoxiao. Both of them looked like ordinary people, and there was nothing special about them, but they had a calm and quiet demeanor, which An Xiaoxiao could remember at a glance.

The three asked each other their names, and it turned out that they were brother and sister who opened a medical clinic in the town.

"You guys are amazing." An Xiaoxiao praised sincerely.

"Skills are inferior to people." The man cupped his hands.The three of them said a few polite words, and after the woman invited An Xiaoxiao to go to the clinic when she was free, they each bid farewell and returned to their own territory.

The county competition will be held seven days later, and the contestants need to arrive two days in advance. The time is running out, so Dawu went to rent a carriage, and the four of them decided to continue their journey after a rest.
