Zhao Xiuying (the stall owner) has already inserted the coin. Here, the mechanism features a special metal mesh basket, somewhat resembling the frying baskets used in fast food joints to fry French fries, but with a more elongated design and denser mesh.
Zhao Xiuying places the tablets into this metal mesh basket as much as possible, then grips the handle with her right hand to feed the medication into the pharmacy apparatus in front of her.
This device somewhat resembles a coal-burning boiler, with a narrow opening. Once opened, it emits a glaring flame.
Zhao Xiuying must place the metal mesh basket into it, also for a duration of 30 seconds.
This step affects the yield rate of the medication, meaning if the time is insufficient, some tablets might become ineffective.
If the duration is incredibly short, the worst-case scenario could lead to the entire batch of medication being completely wasted.
