I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

"What does the young lady want from Zhang Xiuniang?"

The boss restrained his smile slightly. He definitely wanted to do this business, but there were still some things he had to clarify.

"Tangtang wants to become my disciple!"

"What do you want to learn from me?"

Of course I would learn embroidery. What else could I learn?

Tangtang was puzzled, but she answered honestly: "Embroidery"

embroidery?

That's fine.

The boss immediately gave Zhang Xiuniang's address and kindly reminded her, "Xiuniang has high requirements. Only those who are clever and calm will be favored by her."

"Oh!"

After the girl paid for the double-sided embroidery, she carried Xiaobai to Zhang Xiuniang's home.

Chapter 359 Is She Really a Genius?

dong dong——

The little girl knocked on the door twice, then waited patiently outside holding the relic.

"you are?"

The door opened quickly, and a woman in her early thirties with a dignified appearance lowered her head and asked.

"Hello, I'm Tangtang!"

The little girl took out the two-sided embroidery she had just bought and said with a smile, "Tangtang thinks this embroidery is very amazing and wants to become my apprentice."

I want to be your disciple, but why didn’t your parents come?

"This kind of thing should be discussed by your parents."

After Zhang Xiuniang finished speaking, she was about to close the door. Seeing this, the little girl quickly explained her situation.

"..."

After listening to the little girl's story, Zhang Xiuniang felt a sense of sympathy.

But when she thought about it carefully, she found that something was wrong.

If she had not been taken care of by her parents for a long time, where did she get the money to buy double-sided embroidery?

"I am Zhang Xiuniang, the one you are looking for. Little girl, I have a question. Where does the money for your purchases come from?"

“Haha, although Tangtang is young, he also has an apprentice, and he even received a gift for becoming a disciple.”

Oh?

Zhang Xiuniang asked curiously, "You are so young and you can accept an apprentice? What skills can you teach him?"

"Tangtang passed on the "Wonderful Fragrance and Glass Sutra" from Sakyamuni! But he has to wait until he grows up before he can learn it." The little girl said with a smile.

After asking a few more questions, Zhang Xiuniang finally realized that the little guy in front of her was actually Master Sangguo, who seemed to be quite famous.

But that is all in the past. After all, the Sang Kingdom has been destroyed. No matter how famous it was in the past, it now has to wander around in other countries to seek another way to make a living.

"Hey, it's not easy for you to wander all the way here, come in quickly."

"Thank you~"

After thanking her, the little girl corrected Zhang Xiuniang's words.

Because she didn't come here by wandering, but by traveling all the way.

.......

Zhang Xiuniang's home is very big, especially the embroidery room. Even though there are five disciples learning embroidery in it at the same time, it doesn't seem crowded at all.

"I will teach you how to embroider a needle first. If you can successfully embroider a bird's foot within three days, we can talk about other things."

Zhang Xiuniang said this without introducing the disciples in the room to Tangtang.

"it is good!"

After Zhang Xiuniang taught the girl step by step once, when she was about to teach her a second time, the little girl had already started embroidering.

'Hey, you have a good foundation. It seems that you have worked hard before. '

'He has enough concentration and is very skillful.'

After some actual investigation, Zhang Xiuniang decided to accept Tangtang.

She has two modes here. One is to hold a banquet, burn incense, kowtow and serve tea, and the other is to just pay money and be done with it.

The former is a formal apprenticeship model, where the master teaches everything he knows, and the disciple is also obliged to carry the master's coffin and see him to the end of his life.

As for the latter, to put it bluntly, you spend money to learn the technology, and after you learn it, neither party owes the other anything.

During the learning period, you don't even need to call her 'Master Zhang', just 'Auntie Zhang' will do.

The little girl had originally been planning to become an apprentice, but after listening to Zhang Xiuniang's detailed explanation of the difference between the two, she felt that she had oversimplified the matter of becoming an apprentice.

"Tangtang, choose the second one."

Fortunately, there was another option, and the girl immediately took out the money and handed it over with both hands.

"You have the basics. If you study hard from me, you can make a living with your skills in half a year."

This was both an encouragement and explained the learning cycle to the little girl.

Seeing Tangtang nod, Zhang Xiuniang asked her to embroider a few more bird feet, and then began to check the works of other disciples.

.......

Zhang Xiuniang had a total of six apprentices. Except for the eldest apprentice who had already completed her studies and become a master, the remaining five apprentices were still learning by her side.

These disciples were naturally not of the same kind as Tangtang, so their attitude towards the little girl was quite cold at first, and no one would take the initiative to talk to her.

But things soon changed!

"Can you also perform hair acupuncture?"

Seeing that the bird feathers embroidered by the little girl were of excellent texture, the female disciple who was also embroidering feathers couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, I just watched my senior sister embroider for a while, so I wanted to try it myself."

Tangtang was very polite and called the female disciple "senior sister".

"Humph"

However, the senior sister did not give a good look. She felt that the little girl was being arrogant because she had some background.

"Tangtang, have you ever learned carving and embroidery?"

Zhang Xiuniang came out to smooth things over and tried to suppress the little girl at the same time.

"No, what is carving?"

To put it simply, it is to carry out processes such as laying the base, stitching, connecting, and cutting on a piece of lace fabric to make the lace on the fabric have a three-dimensional and multi-layered effect.

This is a commonly used embroidery technique, but it requires a lot of skill.

Zhang Xiuniang carefully explained each process to Tangtang and then demonstrated it again personally.

The little girl embroidered the gourd, but the finished product was a terrible sight.

"Don't be too proud or arrogant. You are just getting started in this field."

Seeing that the little girl was willing to learn, Zhang Xiuniang smiled and went out to cook for everyone.

"..."

"Master, Master, something bad has happened!"

After the rice was cooked and a few side dishes were fried, and only a bowl of egg drop soup was left, a disciple ran out in a panic.

"what happened?"

"That Tangtang is here to mess things up. Master, go and take a look."

Zhang Xiuniang put down the wooden spoon and returned to the embroidery room with a frown.

I saw the little girl concentrating on embroidering, while the other disciples would glance at her from time to time.

.......

At first Zhang Xiuniang was puzzled, but then she leaned over to take a look!

Wow, the little girl’s carving and embroidery skills are so perfect that they are almost as good as mine.

Her eyelids twitched suddenly, and she wondered if she had really encountered someone who was trying to crash the place.

"Aunt Zhang, are you ready to eat?"

Tangtang smelled the aroma and raised her head and asked.

"Don't worry, I'll embroider a Ruyi flower for you to see."

Zhang Xiuniang picked up the needle and thread with a smile, and used satin needle as the main method, supplemented by more than ten kinds of needle techniques such as random stitch, seed stitch, picking stitch, and coiling stitch, to embroider a Ruyi flower that stunned everyone.

"Tangtang, you try it too."

"it is good!"

The little girl showed no fear and started to embroider the Ruyi flower.

Although she was already quite experienced, compared with Zhang Xiuniang's finished product, the Ruyi flower she embroidered this time was still too rough to be pleasing to the eye.

Hearing the faint snickers coming from all around, Tangtang couldn't help but blush.

"I'm hungry, Tangtang, I have to eat my fill before trying a few more times."

The little girl wanted to fill her stomach first, so Zhang Xiuniang naturally would not stop her.

But after finishing her meal, she sat directly next to Tangtang and exerted invisible pressure on her.

The girl didn't feel any pressure.

Zhang Xiuniang happened to be around, and she actively developed her good habit of asking questions when she didn't understand something.

'She wasn't very skilled, but she used all the techniques I just demonstrated.'

'and......'

Every time she inserted the needle, the little girl made a little progress compared to the last time.

As she watched, a thought popped up in Zhang Xiuniang's mind - maybe Tangtang was not here to mess things up, she was actually a genius?

Chapter 360: The Charm in the Forest

In just two days, Zhang Xiuniang's mood changed from anger, suspicion, surprise to frustration.

She was sure that the little girl was not here to cause trouble, but was a genius in embroidery.

But she has already paid the money. How can I get her to become my disciple now?

As Tangtang learned the twenty-five acupuncture techniques one by one, Zhang Xiuniang became more and more anxious.

"master......"

"Just say it if you have something to say. Why are you still hesitating between us?"

Zhang Xiuniang is over thirty years old, but she is still unmarried.

During the day, she taught her disciples embroidery and made a few finished products for sale; at night, she would go to chat with her eldest disciple, have a meal, etc., so she would not feel lonely.

Zhang Xiuniang was already upset about Tangtang's matter, and when she saw her eldest disciple speaking so unhappily, she immediately started to urge him on.

"Ah, actually, I received a difficult commission today."

Jiang Xiaomei rubbed her hands and said, "I was thinking that maybe I could use this opportunity to make the little girl think about becoming my disciple again."

When the zombies were roaming Furong Town, the local government made two preparations. On the one hand, they sent people to notify the old temple priest, and on the other hand, they found Guo Lurong for help.

Now that something has happened in Shancha Village, the village chief is also preparing for both scenarios.

While he was looking for help from the government, he also turned to Jiang Xiaomei for help.
