The Leisurely Life of a Peasant Woman in the Tang Dynasty

Miss Wang's defeat did not let Tang Youyou relax. She knew that the real challenge had just begun.

For the long-term development of the workshop, she decided to further improve the inheritance mechanism and recruit more fresh blood.

Once the news was released, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Countless young people with dreams flocked to Tang Youyou's workshop, eager to show their skills.

The interview site was crowded with people. Tang Youyou sat in the main seat, her eyes sharp as torches, carefully observing every young person who came to sign up.

She does not stick to traditional selection methods, but focuses more on examining their potential and learning ability.

Although some young people's skills were a little rusty, they were eager to learn, and Tang Youyou took them under his wing without hesitation.

"Next!" Tang Youyou's voice was clear and powerful.

One by one, young people nervously stepped forward to show their skills and their aspirations for the future.

The eyes of those young people who were not selected were full of envy, but they also understood that Mrs. Tang’s choice had its reasons. They could only leave quietly and look forward to the next opportunity.

Tang Youyou's selection criteria caused quite a stir within the workshop.

Some craftsmen of the older generation, clinging to traditional ideas, questioned Tang Youyou's approach.

"Madam, how can you not value experience when selecting apprentices? What craftsmanship do these young men know?" Master Liu said in a heavy tone, his brows furrowed, and there was a hint of worry in his words.

"Master Liu, times are changing, and we can't stand still." Tang Youyou's expression was firm, her tone calm but filled with unquestionable strength. "Experience is important, but even more important is the ability to learn and the spirit of innovation. These young people are like a blank slate, more receptive to new knowledge and ideas, and more likely to create new miracles." She paused, her eyes sweeping over everyone present. "Have you forgotten that the glory of our workshop is built on constant innovation and breakthroughs?"

Master Liu and the other veteran craftsmen fell silent. They began to reflect. Tang Youyou's words were like a flash of lightning, piercing the fog of their thoughts.

At this moment, a clear voice broke the silence...

"Madam, I support you!" Fu Wenyuan, a thin but bright-eyed young man, stood up. His voice was clear and powerful, with the spirit of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

"Madam, I support you!" He took a deep breath and continued, "I used to be just an unknown little craftsman, but it was Madam who gave me the opportunity to show my talents. Although I don't have rich experience, I have a heart that loves craftsmanship. I am willing to learn and willing to give." They looked at Fu Wenyuan, as if they saw their younger selves, and the passion for craftsmanship in their hearts began to rekindle.

Master Liu's expression eased a little. He stroked his gray beard, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

Several other old craftsmen also nodded. Obviously, Fu Wenyuan's words touched them.

At this time, Brother Tang came over. He was tall and strong, with an extraordinary bearing. As soon as he spoke, he spoke with an unquestionable power.

"Our family fully supports Youyou's approach!" He looked around at everyone, his tone firm. "The future of the workshop lies in innovation and inheritance. Cultivating a new generation of craftsmen is our unshirkable responsibility. The family will provide all necessary resources to support Youyou's decision."

Brother Tang's words were undoubtedly a reassurance, completely dispelling the concerns of those old craftsmen who were still hesitant.

They all expressed their willingness to cooperate with Tang Youyou's work and jointly train these young apprentices.

Seeing the change in everyone's attitude, Tang Youyou showed a relieved smile on his face.

She knows that although the road to inheritance is full of challenges, as long as everyone works together, they will be able to create a more glorious future.

Tang Youyou turned around and ordered the steward beside him: "Go and ask Master Zhuang to come over..."

After receiving Tang Youyou's invitation, Master Zhuang happily went to the workshop.

He is well aware of the importance of inheritance and greatly admires Tang Youyou's foresight.

In the spacious and bright classroom, Master Zhuang prepared a wonderful craft enlightenment class for the new apprentices.

He used vivid language to describe the historical origins, development context and cultural essence of the craft.

The new apprentices listened with great interest, their eyes sparkling with curiosity, and they were full of expectations for the future of the workshop.

Tang Youyou stood at the back of the classroom, watching this scene, feeling extremely relieved.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

Seeing that Tang Youyou's plan was going so smoothly, Miss Wang was burning with jealousy.

She was unwilling to accept failure, so she secretly sent people to spread rumors, saying that the workshop's new way of inheritance was extremely risky, and that these young apprentices were simply not qualified for the workshop's work, which would only lead to a decline in product quality and ultimately the workshop's decline.

Some families who have already signed up for apprenticeships are beginning to waver, worried that their children will waste time and even affect their future prospects.

The rumor spread like weeds and soon reached Tang Youyou's ears.

She did not panic, but calmly analyzed the situation and responded quickly.

She decided to publicly invite all apprentices' families and anyone who cared about the development of the workshop to come and observe the teaching process in the workshop.

During the visit, Tang Youyou explained her inheritance plan in detail and asked the new apprentices to demonstrate their learning results on the spot.

Those parents who originally had doubts gradually dissipated after seeing their children study hard and be proactive.

Not only that, Tang Youyou also presented the latest exquisite handicrafts developed by the workshop to the apprentice families who persevered.

These handicrafts are exquisite and irresistible, demonstrating the workshop's superb skills and innovative ideas.

Everyone admired Tang Youyou's generosity and foresight even more, and the reputation of the workshop was further enhanced.

Miss Wang's plot failed again. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she could do nothing about it.

Tang Youyou looked at the apprentices' energetic faces, her heart filled with hope.

She walked up to Master Liu and said slowly, "Master Liu..."
