The Leisurely Life of a Peasant Woman in the Tang Dynasty

Tang Youyou stood with her hands on her hips, her heroic laughter still echoing in the air, but she didn't expect that a greater challenge was quietly approaching.

Miss Wang is not someone who gives up easily. How could she let it go after being humiliated?

After she turned and left the crowd, she did not really give up, but instead tried a "roundabout way to save the country".

She secretly found several young people with great technical talent, including Fu Wenyuan, and offered them attractive conditions.

"What's forty taels? Follow me, fifty taels, sixty taels, it's not a problem! Wealth and glory, endless enjoyment!" Miss Wang painted a picture of a beautiful future, just like drawing a pie in the sky, the pie was big and round.

Some young people come from poor families and have never seen such a scene.

Their originally determined eyes began to flicker, like a small flame shivering in winter, which could be blown out by a gust of wind at any time.

"Can the big pie that Tang Youyou painted for you be realized? She's just a woman, what does she know about business? If you follow her, you'll be out of money sooner or later!" Miss Wang continued to fan the flames, and every word she said hit the soft spots of these young people.

Although Fu Wenyuan was still excited, he was still a little hesitant.

After all, there is still a big difference between fifty taels and forty taels.

He secretly looked at Tang Youyou and found that she was discussing something with Master Liu and didn't seem to notice the situation here.

"Think about your family, think about your future! Follow me, and I guarantee that you will be successful and bring honor to your family!" Miss Wang pressed on step by step, throwing out heavier and heavier chips, like sugar-coated bullets, bombarding the young people's psychological defenses.

Finally, someone wavered.

"Ms. Wang, are you telling the truth?" a young man asked timidly. His voice was small, but it was like a stone that caused ripples on the calm water.

"Of course it's true!" Miss Wang was delighted and immediately struck while the iron was hot, "As long as you are willing to follow me, I promise..."

Before she could finish her words, a crisp voice interrupted her.

"Oh? Promise what?" Tang Youyou appeared behind them at some point, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

Tang Youyou folded her arms and looked at Miss Wang with a half-smile, her eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

"Ms. Wang, you're a master at making big promises. Fifty taels? Sixty taels? What are you going to give me? Just your mouth?"

Miss Wang's face changed, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Of course I have my own way. Unlike some people who only talk nonsense!"

"Empty words?" Tang Youyou chuckled and turned to look at the young people who were fooled by Miss Wang. "Do you think I'm just talking nonsense? I paid a deposit of forty taels of silver on the spot. It's written in black and white. What about you, Miss Wang? Besides empty promises, do you have any real skills?"

Miss Wang was speechless after being confronted by Tang Youyou, and her face turned pale and blue.

She didn't expect that Tang Youyou would be so direct and not give her any face at all.

"Also," Tang Youyou changed the subject, staring at Miss Wang sharply, "You say I don't understand business? I'm just a woman? I tell you, I know a hundred times more about this workshop's business than you do! Do you think you can learn my essence by poaching a few people? That's just wishful thinking! You don't understand what inheritance is at all, you just want to steal my achievements!"

These words were full of wisdom and power, which not only made Miss Wang lose face, but also made those wavering young people wake up.

They realized that Miss Wang's promises were nothing but castles in the air and not trustworthy at all.

Brother Tang, who had been silent all this time, also stood up at this time.

He walked to Tang Youyou and said in a deep voice, "Youyou, I was short-sighted before and wronged you. Don't worry, from now on, I will fully support you!"

Tang Youyou looked at Brother Tang and nodded with satisfaction.

Unity within the family is more important than anything else.

"Miss Wang, do you have anything else to say?" Tang Youyou looked at Miss Wang again, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Miss Wang gritted her teeth, glared at Tang Youyou fiercely, then turned and left.

She knew that she had completely lost today.

"Wait," Tang Youyou stopped her, "I haven't finished yet. You guys," she turned to the young people, "do you want to know what the true inheritance is..."

Tang Youyou curled the corner of his mouth, revealing an expression of "That's it?"

"True inheritance isn't something you can learn by stealing a few tricks. It's a spirit, a skill, and even more, a responsibility!" She paused, her eyes sweeping across the crowd, her tone growing deeper. "What I teach you is not just the skills to make money, but also the fundamentals for supporting your family and establishing a stable life! Follow me, and you'll learn not only skills, but also the principles of life!"

Tang Youyou's words were like enlightenment, and everyone present was moved.

Especially Fu Wenyuan, who had originally had doubts about Miss Wang's promise, and now he is even more determined in his choice.

He stood up and shouted at Miss Wang's back, "Miss Wang, we're not leaving! We believe in Madam Tang!"

With Fu Wenyuan taking the lead, several other young people also expressed their desire to stay and learn from Tang Youyou.

Seeing this, the several strong men brought by Miss Wang wanted to take the young man away by force.

Fu Wenyuan's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.

He shouted, "The government is here! Arrest the human traffickers!" This sudden shout scared the strong men. Before they could react, they were surrounded by the people who were watching the excitement and started to accuse them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Miss Wang's men ran away in shame.

The onlookers praised the young man's wit and bravery, and also admired Tang Youyou's workshop even more.

Master Liu walked over to Tang Youyou and said with satisfaction: "Youyou, you've done a great job. These young people are the future of the workshop." Brother Tang was also filled with emotion: "Yes, Youyou, you see much further than I do."

Tang Youyou looked at the lively scene in front of him, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

However, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure slipping away quietly...

Tang Youyou narrowed her eyes and whispered to Master Zhuang, "Master, that person..."

Tang Youyou narrowed her eyes and whispered to Master Zhuang, "Master, does that person... look like Li Ergou who secretly learned skills from me before?" Master Zhuang followed Tang Youyou's gaze and saw a wretched and sneaky figure trying to slip away.

He stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "That's the man! It seems he's still got his evil intentions!"

Tang Youyou raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, "Master, how about we catch the turtle in the jar?"

Master Zhuang clapped his hands and laughed: "That's exactly what I want!" Their eyes met, and everything was said without words.

Tang Youyou deliberately raised her voice and said to the young people around her: "Thanks to everyone today, we have kept our secret recipe! To reward everyone, I decided to teach you a core skill in advance!" When the young people heard this, they were immediately excited and gathered around.

Li Ergou, who was hiding in the dark, became even more itchy when he heard this, and sneaked closer.

Tang Youyou pretended not to notice Li Ergou and began to explain his skills.

Her speech was simple, easy to understand and fascinating. The young people listened with great interest, and even some of the onlookers were fascinated.

Li Ergou was even more fascinated by what he heard and couldn't wait to try it out.

As he listened, he secretly imitated Tang Youyou's movements, thinking that no one could notice.

Seeing that Li Ergou had completely taken the bait, Tang Youyou and Master Zhuang exchanged glances.

Tang Youyou suddenly stopped, pointed to an open space outside the crowd, and said loudly: "Now, let me demonstrate it to everyone! Everyone, watch carefully!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Tang Youyou's finger.

I saw some tools and materials placed on the open space, which were exactly the items needed to make the core skills!

Li Ergou was overjoyed when he saw this, thinking that this was the practice ground that Tang Youyou had specially prepared for them. He quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd, ready to observe and learn carefully.

Tang Youyou walked to the center of the clearing, picked up the tools, and began to demonstrate.

Her movements were skillful and smooth, and every step was clear and understandable, which made everyone stare at her with fascination.

Li Ergou was dazzled and wanted to write down every detail.

At this moment, Tang Youyou suddenly stopped what he was doing, pointed at Li Ergou, and shouted sternly: "Li Ergou! You are stealing again!"

Li Ergou was so frightened by the sudden questioning that he trembled all over and the tools in his hand fell to the ground.

His face turned pale and he stammered, "I...I...I didn't..."

Tang Youyou sneered, "You've been caught red-handed, and you still dare to quibble! Come on, arrest him!" Several strong men who had been lying in ambush immediately rushed out and tied Li Ergou up.

Li Ergou was completely panicked now and struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Seeing this, the onlookers condemned Li Ergou's despicable behavior.

Tang Youyou looked at the captured Li Ergou, and she didn't feel proud at all. Instead, she felt a little helpless.

She shook her head and said to Master Zhuang, "Master, it seems this person is greedy and wants to swallow an elephant..."

Master Zhuang sighed and said, "Youyou, what are you going to do with him?"

Tang Youyou pondered for a moment and said, "Lock him up for a few days first, let him reflect on himself. Then..." She paused, looked at the young people who were eager to try, a gleam in her eyes, "Then, I will start formally training you."
