Xiang Ling'er took out a dried wood ear in the courtyard and gave everyone an example. She explained it very clearly.
Wang Shichu saw that she really did not hide anything from them. It was as if she was afraid that others would not be able to learn this skill. Other than shock, he was speechless.
Were these people kind or stupid? Why did they not hide their abilities?
Nowadays, a skill, even a baking skill, was something that one could only dream of. Even the shops in town had apprentices work for free for a few years. How much they could learn in the end depended on their ability. Even if they were very capable, they could only see the surface. The subsequent achievements were all up to them.
Therefore, crafts had to be passed down from generation to generation, or they would only be able to achieve something when they reached middle age or even old age. The difficulties involved were needless to say.
