Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan nodded, and gradually some ideas came to her mind. She looked at Lulu gratefully: "Thank you, Lulu, you always bring me inspiration."

Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store returned to peace again. She sat at the workbench, constantly thinking about Lulu's suggestions in her mind.

Just as she was about to start a new design, the shop door was pushed open again and a familiar figure walked in.

"Wanwan, I'm here." A low and gentle voice sounded.

Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw that it was her teacher, Master Sun Yat-sen.

Master Zhongshan is a well-known jewelry designer in the industry and also Zhou Wanwan’s mentor.

He is over sixty years old, but he is in good spirits, and his eyes reveal a deep wisdom.

"Teacher, why are you here?" Zhou Wanwan stood up in surprise and walked forward.

Master Zhongshan smiled and nodded: "I heard that you have encountered some problems recently. Let me see if I can help."

Zhou Wanwan felt warm in her heart, and quickly asked the teacher to sit down, and told Master Zhongshan about Lu Yunyun's order in detail.

After listening to this, Master Zhongshan pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Wanwan, have you ever thought that Chinese herbal medicine is not just a material, but also has a profound cultural heritage and historical heritage. You can try to start from this point and incorporate the cultural connotation of Chinese herbal medicine into your design."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but was still a little confused: "Teacher, I understand what you mean, but I still don't know how to do it specifically."

Master Zhongshan smiled, took out a small notebook from his bag and handed it to Zhou Wanwan: "This is some information I recently researched on Chinese herbal medicine. You can refer to it. In addition, I suggest you visit the local Chinese medicine masters. Maybe you can get some inspiration from them."

Zhou Wanwan took the notebook, opened it and saw that it recorded in detail the characteristics, effects and related cultural stories of various Chinese herbal medicines.

Her heart moved, as if she saw a new path.

"Thank you, teacher. I will study hard." Zhou Wanwan said gratefully.

Master Zhongshan nodded and stood up: "Wanwan, remember, design is not only a display of skills, but also a transmission of emotions and culture. You have to feel it with your heart to create works that move people."

After seeing off Master Zhongshan, Zhou Wanwan immediately took action.

She first carefully studied the information given by her teacher, and then decided to visit Mr. Li, a well-known master of traditional Chinese medicine in the local area.

The next morning, Zhou Wanwan came to Mr. Li's clinic with her design sketch.

Mr. Li is nearly 70 years old, with a kind face and wise eyes. After listening to Zhou Wanwan's purpose, he smiled slightly:

"Your idea is very interesting. Chinese herbal medicine is not only a good medicine for curing diseases and saving lives, but also contains rich cultural connotations. It is indeed a good idea that you want to incorporate it into jewelry design."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and handed the design sketch to Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, this is my initial idea, but I always feel that something is missing. Can you help me take a look?"

Mr. Li took the sketch, looked at it carefully, and then pointed to one of the spots and said, "Look here, you chose angelica as the shape of the pendant, which is very good. Angelica has the effect of replenishing blood and activating blood circulation in traditional Chinese medicine, which means the continuation of life."

"But have you ever thought that the fragrance of angelica is not actually very strong? If you simply use it to make a pendant, it may not meet your customer's requirements."

After hearing this, Zhou Wanwan was shocked: "Then do you have any suggestions?"

Mr. Li smiled and said, "You can try to combine angelica with other fragrant Chinese herbs, such as mint and mugwort. This will preserve the shape of the angelica and increase the aroma of the fragrance."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Then what should we do specifically?"

Mr. Li pondered for a moment and continued, "You can carve the shape of angelica into a pendant, and then embed mint and wormwood aromatherapy beads inside the pendant."

"This way, when people wear the necklace, they can not only see the shape of the angelica, but also smell the light herbal aroma."

After hearing this, Zhou Wanwan suddenly became enlightened. She looked at Mr. Li gratefully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li. You have given me a lot of inspiration."

Mr. Li smiled and nodded: "Design is an art, but art also needs to be combined with life. I hope you can make a necklace that is both beautiful and practical."

After saying goodbye to Mr. Li, Zhou Wanwan immediately returned to the store and started working on a new design.

Following Mr. Li's advice, she re-drew the design sketch and began to look for suitable materials.

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan finally completed Lu Yunyun's order.

She carefully packed the necklace and prepared to hand it to Lu Yunyun personally.

However, just as she was about to go out, the door was pushed open again and a familiar figure walked in.

"Wanwan, I'm here." A low and gentle voice sounded.

Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw that it was Master Zhongshan. Master Zhongshan smiled and nodded: "I heard that you have completed the design, let me take a look."

Zhou Wanwan was shocked and quickly handed the necklace to the teacher: "Teacher, this is the necklace I made according to your suggestions and Mr. Li's guidance. What do you think?"

Master Zhongshan took the necklace, examined it carefully, and nodded: "Not bad, Wanwan, you did a good job. This necklace is not only beautiful, but also contains profound cultural connotations. I believe that Ms. Lu Yunyun will be very satisfied."

After hearing this, Zhou Wanwan was excited: "Thank you, teacher. I will definitely continue to work hard."

Master Zhongshan smiled and nodded: "Wanwan, remember, design is an endless road. You have to keep learning and innovating to go further on this road."

After seeing off Master Zhongshan, Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and her heart was filled with confidence.

She knew that this necklace was not just the fulfillment of an order, but also an important breakthrough in her design career.

She believes that as long as she perseveres, her jewelry store will have a brighter future.
