Chapter 360: Chapter 358 Engraving Begins

Ma Dao Gongcheng, success upon arrival.

"Good! I’ll carve this one!"

Nian Shutong immediately made her decision and acted upon it.

She first turned around to make arrangements and said to Fu Yunhe, "Go find a higher-end channel. I want to sell it to wealthy people and also check our partners to make certain they’re still reliable."

Fu Yunhe immediately understood Nian Shutong’s intention; she wanted him to contact their past collaborators and seek assistance.

For example, for selling channels.

Nian Shutong really needed this channel, and it was also a test for various parties.

"I understand, and there’s one more thing I need to tell you."

"Speak."

At this moment, Nian Shutong was staring at the piece of jade, composing a design in her mind.

"The Yan Family won’t collaborate with us anymore in salt selling."

Fu Yunhe’s words didn’t even make Nian Shutong frown.

She simply said with composure, "Register our own brand of salt, package it, and start selling. After half a year, we’ll announce our method of producing salt."

"I intend to break the monopoly where only one business can do everything. But first, we need to keep all our advantages and seize the market share, then reveal the method."

She was determined to ensure her own interests first.

"Understood. I’ll get on it right away."

Fu Yunhe didn’t delay; he started working on these matters immediately.

Meanwhile, Nian Shutong had already entered a realm of deep focus, moving several tables together to form a large platform.

She lightly leaped onto it, her carving knife continuously twirling in her palm, creating a beautiful arc.

After about half an hour, Nian Shutong made her move.

By then, many people—or rather, many children—were surrounding the large table, watching with keen interest.

Among the newcomers, over a hundred children were divided into two classes, attending school.

Currently, the school had three classes, and most of the courses were taught by Elder Hua.

Elder Hua was truly impressive; there was nothing he didn’t know. His knowledge was so vast that he even doubted himself—had he been a teacher before?

Regardless, he genuinely enjoyed teaching.

The children, organized by Elder Hua, quietly lined up, the shorter ones sitting at the front, the taller ones standing behind, all silently watching in an orderly fashion.

Nian Shutong’s movements were quick; she separated several large pieces of jade.

The children beside her instinctively covered their ears, but when the jade hit the ground, there was no sound at all, not even a chip.

It was as if a feather had gently descended.

The children were astonished beyond belief. Why was this happening?

Elder Hua simply asked them to continue watching, planning to answer their questions after they had observed.

However, his gaze towards Nian Shutong revealed that the Boss, this young girl, had grown even stronger.

He felt he had seen such talent before, but upon trying to remember more clearly, he couldn’t recall who it was.

Elder Hua didn’t dwell on it. Even though he had lost his memory, a person’s nature doesn’t change much, so he comfortably accepted his current life.

The carving in front of them had already begun.

Now looking at it, the piece of jade was slanted upwards.

It was still a blocky cube that needed to be shaped into the desired form.

Standing atop a fallen piece of jade, Nian Shutong began to carve out the shape of a horse’s head.

Every cut was made without hesitation, each time the blade was raised and fell, it was just perfect, as if it was meant to be.

That’s the benefit of Divine Sense.

The carving here not only immersed the carver into a state of self-forgetfulness, but even the watching children gradually became enchanted.

They watched wide-eyed as a piece of jade began to take shape, slowly realizing what this outline was becoming.

In their eyes, it was magical, impressive.

Time slipped away amid such gazing and focus; even the farmers had come back for lunch.

New and old residents, passing by, couldn’t help but take a few glances. If it weren’t for the need to eat and work in the afternoon, they really wanted to watch all afternoon.

Lin Mu, who was also off to work, brought Xiao Si along. After glancing at what Nian Shutong was doing, he could only admire it.

Xiao Si stealthily nudged Lin Mu and whispered, "I’ve seen such jade before, but it was carved into a white cabbage and cost more than two hundred million."

Having finished speaking, Xiao Si pointed at the jade Nian Shutong was carving and said, "With these skills, why bother farming at all!"

Lin Mu glared at Xiao Si and pulled him away to one side.

"Don’t talk nonsense. If we don’t farm, how are you going to have rice to eat? How are you going to enjoy hot meals?"

Xiao Si shrank his neck in embarrassment and said earnestly, "I know, I really like farming. I’m just shocked by her carving skills, so awesome!"

Xiao Si couldn’t help but take another look at Nian Shutong. The horse’s head was now clearly visible.

It felt like just by making eye contact, the horse’s eyes would flash, brimming with vivacity.

He shook his head on the spot and said to Lin Mu, "Sister Mu, now I understand why nobody worries about you, the former Eldest, because she is too strong."

So strong that it compelled admiration.

Lin Mu, looking at Nian Shutong, agreed, "Some people just have that kind of charm."

The two turned and left, one ready to eat, the other took the opportunity to run off to find Fu Yunhe.

Xiao Si had been particularly attentive to Fu Yunhe these past few days, hoping to learn a trick or two from him.

But naturally, Fu Yunhe couldn’t possibly agree in just a few days.

Xiao Si knew that he couldn’t expect to be taught the skills that were essential for survival just by being attentive for a few days.

So he worked diligently during the day and only helped out during the lunch break or at night.

And even then, he only helped when it was clearly needed, never speaking out of turn, proving to be quite clever.

At this moment, Fu Yunhe was getting in touch with Yu Zeming.

Yu Zeming had been driven crazy these days.

Countless people had been trying to get information from him, but how would he know?

Every time Little River Live made any move, he found out along with the viewers in the live stream.

With the recent buzz of delivering nine billion seedlings, how could he have any peace?

Yu Zeming was now taking leave at home, or more precisely, hiding out at his father’s old house.

Mr. Yu watched as Yu Zeming sprawled on the couch, constantly playing games, and couldn’t shake the feeling that this man was rather enjoying himself. He didn’t seem like someone seeking refuge at all.

"Yu Zeming! Yu Zeming!"

Mr. Yu called out twice, and Yu Zeming finally moved an eye, making an effort to lift his eyelids to look at his father.

"Dad, what is it? It’s a critical moment! I’m about to win!"

Yu Zeming’s gaze immediately went back to his screen, his hands maneuvering continuously, and after a few seconds, a victorious sound echoed.

"Yeah!"

"Yu Zeming, I need to ask you something," Mr. Yu walked over, pulling the lying Yu Zeming up.

"What are your thoughts on Little River Live, exactly?"
