The Leisurely Life of a Peasant Woman in the Tang Dynasty

Fu Wenyuan was full of confidence and couldn't wait to return to the workshop to put the inspiration that came to his mind into practice.

Tang Youyou looked at his energetic appearance and couldn't help but smile: "Young man, it's good to have ideas, but you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't overwork yourself."

She paused and asked casually, "Has anyone come to see you recently?"

Fu Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, Boss Tang, what's wrong?"

Tang Youyou waved her hand: "It's okay, just asking." However, she knew in her heart that Miss Wang would never let it go.

This is just the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, the next day, a strange atmosphere filled the workshop.

Several young apprentices were whispering to each other, looking uneasy.

"Have you heard? Miss Wang said that Boss Tang's workshop is going to go bankrupt!" "Is it true? No way, I think business is pretty good!" "Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let Boss Tang hear you!" These whispers spread quickly in the workshop like a virus.

Tang Youyou watched all this coldly, sneering in her heart.

Miss Wang's move of "cutting off the fuel from under the cauldron" is really cruel, starting directly from people's hearts.

However, Tang Youyou is not a vegetarian either!

In the evening, the setting sun dyes the sky a fiery red.

Tang Youyou stood at the door of the workshop, watching the craftsmen coming out one after another.

She cleared her throat and said loudly, "Everyone, please wait a moment. I have a few words to say."

Everyone stopped and looked at her in confusion.

Tang Youyou smiled slightly, and said firmly: "I know that there have been some rumors spreading in the workshop recently, saying that my workshop is going to go bankrupt. Regarding these rumors, I only have four words to say: pure nonsense!"

A low laugh broke out in the crowd.

Tang Youyou's humor eased the tense atmosphere.

She continued, "I know some people may be misled by these rumors and start to waver. I understand your concerns, but I want to tell you that following me, Tang Youyou, will definitely not let you suffer any loss!"

She paused, her eyes swept over the crowd, and her tone was sonorous and powerful: "I, Tang Youyou, don't have any other abilities, but when it comes to making money, who in the entire Tang Dynasty dares to say that I am better than you?"

There was a burst of warm applause and cheers from the crowd.

"Boss Tang is mighty!" "Boss Tang is domineering!" "We believe in Boss Tang!"

Tang Youyou looked at the excited craftsmen, a confident smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

She knew that she had already won half of this "crisis".

However, at this moment, a young voice came from the crowd: "Boss Tang, of course we believe you, but..."

"Boss Tang, of course we believe you, but..." The young apprentice hesitated, his eyes flickering, "But Miss Wang said that the wages there are twice as high as ours! And..." He paused, as if he couldn't speak, "There are even better development opportunities..."

Tang Youyou raised her eyebrows and asked calmly, "Oh? Better development opportunities? Tell me about it?" She didn't believe that Miss Wang could come up with any better conditions.

The apprentice blushed and stammered, "Miss Wang said...said she could learn...learn the long-lost...'glass' firing technique!" As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded.

Colored glaze is a rare commodity in the Tang Dynasty and is more valuable than gold!

If you can really learn this skill, it will be a chance to become successful!

"Liuli?" Tang Youyou raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

She took out a piece of crystal clear glass from her sleeve, which shone brightly in the sunlight.

"You're talking about this, right?"

Everyone gasped and their eyes widened.

This glassware is more exquisite than any they have ever seen!

Tang Youyou slowly put the glassware back into her sleeve and said lightly, "To be honest, I've already mastered the art of glassmaking." She paused and glanced at everyone, "Besides, I can teach you!"

The crowd erupted in deafening cheers.

Miss Wang's little tricks instantly collapsed in the face of Tang Youyou's absolute strength.

Just then, a gorgeous carriage stopped at the door of the workshop.

Miss Wang, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stepped down from the carriage with a scornful smile on her face.

She walked straight up to Fu Wenyuan, her tone full of temptation: "Mr. Fu, what have you considered? As long as you are willing to come to me, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

Fu Wenyuan looked at Miss Wang, then at Tang Youyou, his eyes full of struggle.

Miss Wang stretched out her delicate hand and handed Fu Wenyuan a silver note with "one thousand taels" clearly written on it!

Tang Youyou watched coldly, thinking in her heart: Miss Wang, are you going to play the "spending money" game with me?

Well, let’s see who has more money!

She was about to speak when she saw Fu Wenyuan suddenly push the banknote back and said firmly: "Miss Wang, I appreciate your kindness, but..." He looked at Tang Youyou, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude, "I have decided, I want to learn the real craft from Boss Tang!"

Miss Wang's face changed and she said angrily, "You..."

"Wait," Tang Youyou suddenly interrupted her, "Miss Wang, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't we make a bet..." A cunning light flashed in her eyes, "Let's bet that Fu Wenyuan can make something more amazing than Liuli with me!"

Miss Wang sneered, "Oh? Even more stunning than Liuli? I want to see what tricks you can come up with!"

There was a confident smile on Tang Youyou's lips, like a queen in control of the overall situation.

Miss Wang's face turned red and white, as colorful as a palette.

"You? Are you worthy enough to compete with me?" She gritted her teeth, almost squeezing out these words from between her teeth.

"Whether to compete or not is not up to you." Tang Youyou calmly took out a drawing from her sleeve, on which was outlined a complex and exquisite pattern.

"This is a glassware I recently designed, called 'Glorious Times'. What do you think?"

Miss Wang took a glance and snorted disdainfully, "Nothing more than that." But her heart was in turmoil. The glassware in the drawing was ingeniously designed and complex in craftsmanship, far surpassing any glassware she knew!

"Nothing more than that?" Tang Youyou raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Fu Wenyuan, "Master Fu, what do you think?"

Fu Wenyuan took the drawing, looked at it carefully, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

"This... this is simply amazing! If they can make it, it will be unprecedented and unparalleled!"

Tang Youyou patted Fu Wenyuan's shoulder and said earnestly, "Young man, you have a good eye! Follow me, and I guarantee you'll have a bright future!" She turned to Miss Wang with a hint of provocation in her eyes, "Miss Wang, do you have any other tricks? Feel free to use them!"

Miss Wang was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she was speechless.

She glared at Tang Youyou fiercely, then walked away, leaving behind only a disheveled figure.

Tang Youyou looked at Miss Wang's back, a smug smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

This wave of operations is simply awesome!

She turned around and went back to the workshop, called Master Liu, Master Zhuang and others over, and began to discuss the improvement of the inheritance mechanism.

"Master Liu, Master Zhuang, we need to establish a 'master-disciple inheritance plan' to pass down our unique skills from generation to generation!"

After a heated discussion, a complete master-apprentice inheritance system and reward system came into being.

Tang Youyou looked at everyone's excited expressions, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

She believes that with this mechanism, the future of the workshop will be even brighter!

As night fell, Tang Youyou stood at the door of the workshop, looking up at the starry sky, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

"Brother, tell me...is there someone in this world on the star who is also working hard to pass on something?"

Brother Tang looked at Tang Youyou, his eyes filled with satisfaction, "Youyou, you did a great job."

Tang Youyou smiled, "This has just begun..." She paused, her eyes fixed on the workshop, where she could vaguely see the figures of young craftsmen still working late into the night, "Brother, did you hear any noise?

"

Brother Tang listened attentively. A series of clanging sounds mixed with the excited discussions of young people came from deep inside the workshop.

"It's Fu Wenyuan and the others. They're still figuring out the craftsmanship of 'Splendid Era'. These guys are so driven!"

Tang Youyou raised a relieved smile at the corner of her mouth, "That's right, everyone is like they've been injected with chicken blood! It seems that this 'Master-Disciple Inheritance Plan' and the reward system are very effective!" She stretched and said lightly, "Now, I can finally sleep well."

The implementation of the inheritance mechanism is like a shot of adrenaline injected into the workshop.

The old craftsmen imparted their lifelong knowledge to the younger generation without reservation, and the young people also learned eagerly, rubbing their hands, and wishing to immediately accomplish something earth-shaking.

The workshop was a scene of prosperity, and the inheritance crisis was quickly resolved like melting ice and snow.

Tang Youyou looked at all this, feeling a sense of accomplishment in her heart. This operation was simply perfect!

Fu Wenyuan is even more motivated. He leads several young craftsmen and studies the production process of "Shengshi Huacai" day and night.

He believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to present this masterpiece perfectly.

At this moment, Tang Youyou's industrial inheritance has a solid guarantee.

She seemed to see a golden avenue slowly unfolding towards her.

However, things are unpredictable, and no one knows whether there will be new challenges in the future.

Just when everything seemed perfect, some discordant voices began to quietly spread inside the workshop.

Several old craftsmen gathered together, looking at the backs of Fu Wenyuan and others, and whispered, "This young man is too sharp..."

Another old craftsman added, "That's right. It's just the beginning, and it's already causing such a big commotion..."

Although their voices were small, they were like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples...

Tang Youyou and Brother Tang didn't know this. They were standing at the door of the workshop, looking at the stars twinkling in the night sky.

Tang Youyou suddenly said: "Brother, I seem to smell a... sour smell?"
