"That's great, Shiyu, thank you."
Liu Xiuying was overjoyed and happily said, "Then it's settled."
Don't be too happy yet.
Seeing this, Lin Jingyu couldn't help but discourage her, "Learning a craft also requires talent. If you don't have that talent, even if Shiyu teaches you, you will never be able to learn it."
"You also need talent?"
Liu Xiuying was stunned, clearly not expecting that there would be such a requirement for learning a skill.
"Of course."
Yang Shujue chimed in, "Do you think just anyone can make clothes? Even if some people know how to sew, they might not be able to make high-quality clothes."
A garment made by a talented person is a masterpiece, a work of art; but if made by an ordinary person, it's just a garment.
"I don't understand."
Liu Xiuying smiled shyly, "But I want to try and see if I can make clothes."
"Of course."
Lin Jingyu said, "Even if you don't have talent, as long as you study hard, learning to make clothes is a skill for you."
When something is perfected, it becomes art. In our daily lives, we don't need much art; we just need the skills to make a living. Don't you agree?
Liu Xiuying nodded in response, "I want to learn a skill for making a living."
Lin Jingyu looked at Peng Shiyu and said, "Since you have this plan, ask Su Zhiqing to make a trip later and see if she can find a sewing ticket."
If you can find tickets, check around in town or go to the county seat. If they sell sewing machines, you can buy one.
When the time comes, you can take on one or two apprentices and start by teaching them the basics.
You can teach some simple patterns to your apprentices, which will save you a lot of time.
"I think so too."
Peng Shiyu replied, "I'll go back and make the clothes first. You guys go ahead and do your work."
Liu Xiuying's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "Shiyu, may I go with you and take a look?"
"Okay, come with me."
Peng Shiyu really likes the hardworking Liu Xiuying.
If she were to take on apprentices, she would naturally choose people she knows well.
"You may go."
Lin Jingyu watched them go back.
She plans to go to the village to buy chickens and ducks to make preserved meat.
As soon as the two reached the front yard, they saw Tian Danxiong come out from inside.
The moment he saw Lin Jingyu, a smile immediately spread across his face. "Lin, the educated youth; Yang, the educated youth—it's you!"
"Uh~"
Lin Jingyu's expression froze, and her tone became somewhat distant as she said, "Hello, Tian Zhiqing!"
Without waiting for his response, she continued walking forward.
"Lin Zhiqing, wait a minute~"
Tian Danxiong quickly called out to those who were about to leave.
Lin Jingyu paused, then asked calmly, "I wonder what brings you here, Tian Zhiqing?"
"Lin Zhiqing, I'm sorry to bother you."
Tian Danxiong apologized to her immediately.
His thin face still wore a polite smile. "There's something I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if you could pause for a moment, Lin Zhiqing?"
"Oh, go ahead."
Lin Jingyu had no idea what the other party was up to.
He remained wary and maintained a lukewarm demeanor.
"I heard that Lin Zhiqing can make preserved meat, and that the preserved meat she makes is very delicious."
Tian Danxiong's tone revealed a hint of appreciation as he stared intently at the beautiful woman in front of him. "I'm a bit of a picky eater, and my constitution is slightly weak."
I'd like to buy some meat-heavy meals; I wonder if Lin Zhiqing could sell me some cured meat.
"The best way to nourish the body is with fresh food."
Yang Shujue raised an eyebrow. "Tian Zhiqing, are you mistaken? You should buy more chickens, ducks, or eggs to nourish your body."
“What Yang Zhiqing said makes sense.”
Tian Danxiong smiled at her, "I will also buy chickens, ducks, eggs and duck eggs. I bought preserved meat with Lin Zhiqing to enrich the dishes."
He then turned his head and looked directly at Lin Jingyu with a smile in his eyes, "I wonder if it would be convenient for you, Lin, to sell me some preserved meats?"
"no problem."
Lin Jingyu did not refuse.
Ignoring the other person's somewhat aggressive gaze, he said, "But I'm going to the village to buy poultry now. If you want to buy cured meat, you can come back tomorrow or the day after."
"Lin Zhiqing, are you going to the village to buy poultry?"
Tian Danxiong's eyes lit up a bit, and his smile deepened. "Perfect timing, I was also thinking of buying two chickens to eat in the next couple of days."
"Lin, Yang, aren't you going to introduce me to your group?"
"inconvenient."
Lin Jingyu refused outright.
Despite his stiff smile, he continued, "Men and women are different. We are not familiar with Tian Zhiqing, so it's better if we act separately."
"Sorry, I was abrupt."
Tian Danxiong quickly came to his senses and looked apologetic. "It was my oversight. Please don't take offense, Lin Zhiqing."
"fine."
Lin Jingyu gently shook her head and calmly replied, "We're leaving now."
"Don't be offended, Tian Zhiqing."
Yang Shujue had a good impression of the person in front of her and explained with a smile, "Jingyu is just like this. Once she gets to know you, she won't be so particular..."
"Yang Shujue, get over here."
A cold, desolate voice came through...
Yang Shujue made a face at Tian Danxiong and ran quickly to catch up with Lin Jingyu.
The smile on Tian Danxiong's face gradually disappeared.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, he narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.
"Jingyu, Jingyu~"
Yang Shujue caught up with her, looking at her with confusion, "You don't like that educated youth, Tian?"
