The night spread out like splashed ink, and the workshop that was bustling during the day was immersed in tranquility.

There were only a few oil lamps, swaying their faint light in the wind, stretching the figures of Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing to longer and shorter lengths.

Shen Qiqi's brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about some complex math problem.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a "tapping" sound that was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if they could see through all conspiracies and tricks.

"That old yin-yang Zhao will definitely not be willing to watch our new style become popular. People like him feel uncomfortable if they don't copy other people's things."

Looking at his wife's "strategic" appearance, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

He stroked his chin, his tone calm and firm: "Don't worry, Qiqi, if the enemy comes, we will fight back. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. If he dares to copy, I will make him pay for it!"

There was a hint of tension in the air, but more of it was the confidence and strength brought by Shen Qiqi.

Her bright eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky.

She began to arrange preventive measures in an orderly manner, considering every detail carefully.

She is like a female general commanding thousands of troops, calm and decisive.

"First, we have to lock all the new style drawings in the safe. I will keep the key myself, and no one is allowed to peek." Shen Qiqi said as she sorted out the drawings in her hand with quick and decisive movements.

Her voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable power that made everyone present feel at ease.

"Secondly, we have to take turns on duty every day to strengthen our defenses and prevent anyone from causing trouble in the middle of the night." She continued, her eyes sweeping over everyone present.

The craftsmen around listened to Shen Qiqi's deployment and were full of confidence.

They looked at the young woman and felt a surge of admiration in their hearts.

In this seemingly peaceful village, Shen Qiqi was like a bright lamp, illuminating their way forward.

Just as everyone was getting ready to face the upcoming challenge, a slightly hesitant voice came from the corner.

"I say, Qi girl, your new style is good, but is it really okay to launch it like this?" Old artist Chen frowned, his face full of worry. His wrinkled face looked even older at this moment, as if he was an old man who was about to be abandoned by the times.

Shen Qiqi looked at Chen Lao Artist. She walked to his side, her tone gentle but firm: "Grandpa Chen, the times are developing, and we must also progress with them. New styles will definitely bring us new hope. Don't worry, I promise there will be no problem." Her words were like a shot of adrenaline, injected into Chen Lao Artist's heart. Although he still had some doubts, he was gradually infected by Shen Qiqi's confidence.

Everyone discussed it one by one and finally decided on an action plan.

The night grew darker, the cold wind howled outside, but it was warm as spring inside the house.

Just as everyone was about to take a break, Shen Qiqi suddenly stopped what she was doing. She seemed to sense something, her brows furrowed tightly, and she looked out the window, muttering, "No, something seems a little off..."

As soon as Shen Qiqi finished speaking, Aunt Li, who was in charge of purchasing, rushed in in a panic, her face full of anxiety, "Qiqi, it's bad! Dye...dye is running out! There is only a little bit of the new style of light yellow dye left in the warehouse!"

"What the hell?!" Shen Qiqi felt a buzzing in her head, as if struck by lightning.

This light yellow color is the finishing touch of the new style. Without it, the whole plan will be ruined!

"How much more is left?" She suppressed her panic and tried to remain calm.

"At least there's still...more than half left!" Aunt Li's voice was filled with tears.

The room suddenly exploded like a boiling pot, and everyone started talking at once.

"What should I do?" "The delivery is due tomorrow, where can I find the dye?" "I'm afraid this is a failure..."

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

The more critical the moment, the more we must not lose our composure.

"Don't panic! There must be a way!" Her eyes quickly swept across the workshop, as if looking for a life-saving straw.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on a pile of dyes in the corner, which were leftover scraps from previous experiments.

"Aunt Li, bring over those brown and yellow dyes!"

Everyone looked confused, brown and light yellow, they were completely unrelated!

What kind of medicine is Shen Qiqi selling in her gourd?

I saw her mixing brown dye with some unknown herbs, and then simmering it slowly over low heat.

A strange fragrance gradually spread, with a faint fragrance that lifted people's spirits.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone's heart was in their throat.

Finally, in everyone's anticipation, Shen Qiqi poured the boiled dye into the water, and the originally brown-yellow liquid miraculously turned into goose yellow!

Moreover, this goose yellow color is brighter and more lustrous than the previous one!

"It's done! Qiqi, you're so amazing!" Aunt Li hugged Shen Qiqi excitedly, her eyes red.

Shen Qiqi looked at the bright goose yellow dye in her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

She showed everyone the finished products of the new style. The exquisite patterns and bright colors were simply magnificent!

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted all around, and the oppressive atmosphere was swept away, replaced by excitement and joy.
