Chapter 32 -32 This Style of Painting is Really Unparalleled
“No sooner said than done, the trainees quickly borrowed speakers and microphones from the production team.
The team distributed two smartphones, and they took one to connect to the speakers and select music.
Seeing everyone crowding together to choose songs, Luo Ning suggested, “You can’t all be singing and dancing; some need to stay and promote the cherries and potted plants. Division of labor and cooperation ensure maximum efficiency in completing the tasks.”
A live broadcast like this doesn’t just have singing and dancing as highlights; selling merchandise can also become a bright spot.
This woke up the trainees, and soon each team picked a team leader to handle arrangements and coordination.
Luo Ning’s group selected Feng Yifan, while Lu Xun’s group chose Fang Yu.
Both were capable organizers, so things were arranged quickly.
The people sent to buy paper and watercolor pens also returned.
Luo Ning pointed out each potted plant’s specific habits and detailed care instructions, instructing the person with good handwriting to write them down, giving the written notes some exposure on the live stream.
Then Luo Ning pulled out her smartphone, searching for images of the non-flowering potted plants for Lu Ran to use as a reference for painting.
While they were doing this, singing and dancing on the other side had already started.
Luo Zeyu took the role of host; his amplified voice quickly attracted people from the distant square.
Then Shan Zhen and a trainee from Lu Xun’s team opened with a breakdancing performance.
It surely drew in a large crowd.
Next, Ye Zixiao sang a ballad and, in doing so, promoted cherries and potted plants.
Hearing about a basket included with the purchase of cherries, many people gathered to look.
Responsible for selling cherries, Feng Yifan and his group eagerly promoted the products, even showing off the baskets to everyone.
Although Luo Ning’s batch of cherries was slightly expensive, they were large and red; the pricing was not above market rate. Now, with a purchase of three pounds or more, a beautiful basket was included as a gift, prompting people to buy.
Oftentimes, there’s a herd mentality when it comes to shopping; seeing others buy, many can’t help but follow and make a purchase.
“Buy cherries, get a basket! First come, first served, don’t miss this opportunity,” Feng Yifan and his group shouted.
This quickly gathered a wave of cherry buyers, all eager to pick out a basket.
Consequently, the give-away baskets ran out in no time.
People waiting in line who came after were unhappy, “If there’s no basket, we won’t buy.”
“Exactly, they got baskets with their purchase. Why don’t we get any when we buy?”
Surrounded by a crowd, Feng Yifan almost cried. The gifted baskets had all been given out; where were they supposed to conjure more from?
That’s when Luo Ning came over with a smile and said, “Everyone, no need to hurry. We can weave the baskets right here. Just give us a moment.”
“Some handsome guys, it’s your turn to perform,” Luo Ning gestured for Ye Zixiao and the others to come over.
Called to the spot, they began to weave baskets in front of the gathering crowd, sparking curiosity. Many stood watching, waiting for the baskets to be finished so they could purchase cherries.
All of the trainees who managed to stand out among tens of thousands were good-looking, with plenty of young girls capturing photos or filming videos of the guys weaving baskets.
As a result, this secluded corner suddenly surged with popularity, drawing in more and more people to join the excitement.
Luo Ning gave Fang Yu a look, signaling him to seize the moment to promote the potted plants.
Fang Yu was smart, and quickly began to sell them with two other trainees, placing the care instructions and drawn pictures by each plant, which in turn attracted quite a few people.
Some who initially had little interest in potted plants, upon seeing the pictures of what they would look like in bloom, thought that it might be nice to buy one to take home.
Those not versed in the care of plants, seeing the detailed instructions, were also tempted to buy a plant to try their hand at growing it.
With the atmosphere so well energized, people started to buy.
“You’re giving away baskets when people buy cherries. What about when they buy potted plants? If you give away something, I’ll buy one too,” someone joked, egging them on.
“Right, right, you should give us something too,” chimed in someone who had bought a potted plant.
Fang Yu and the others were stumped on this point, so they turned to Luo Ning for help.
Buy three jin of cherries and get a basket; they’d brought over fifty jin of cherries and had already woven about ten baskets beforehand. Finishing a few more wouldn’t be difficult.
But if they had to give away a basket with every potted plant, that would be impossible to keep up with.

Luo Ning walked over with a smile and said, “We can’t weave baskets fast enough, how about we weave something else for you?”
“That works, but it has to look good,” replied someone, still in good spirits.
So, Luo Ning called over the remaining students and had them follow along as she weaved things.
She explained carefully, correcting the students’ mistakes as they worked. Except for those who were really clumsy with their hands, the rest managed to replicate what she showed them quite well.
Although not as refined as Luo Ning’s work, their output was still presentable.
Many onlookers found this amusing and asked if they could join in and learn too.
Since they brought plenty of straw, Luo Ning didn’t object and continued weaving with everyone.
Even the students who were singing and dancing were roped in by Luo Ning to join the fun.
Little flower baskets, straw sandals, fans, cute scarecrows, small winnowing baskets, and other handicrafts took shape under Luo Ning’s guidance.
As a result, more and more people gathered around in excitement and joined the weaving crowd.
[Wow, Ningbao’s hands are so skillful; she can weave so many things.]
[Amazing, what I see looks even better than the stuff for sale.]
[Who says Luo Ning can only weave straw hats? Come out, and I’ll knock some sense into you.]
[Haha, even an old man is getting into the act and weaving; it looks so magical.]
[Luo Zeyu’s resigned look as if life has no meaning is hilarious.]
[Fang Yu’s weaving is so bad even the auntie next to him can’t bear to look, that disdainful gaze is killing me.]
[Haha, what in the world is my brother weaving? Is that really a fan? Looks more like a cushion to me.]
[All the handsome guys teaming up with a bunch of aunties and uncles to weave crafts, the scene’s just phenomenal.]
[I came here from another live stream; this place is too joyous.]
Unlike the other teams, who were selling their items politely or rather unremarkably, this team’s salesmanship was excessively lively and enchanting, drawing many viewers from other live streams, who all watched with great amusement.
After this boost, the results were noticeable, with both teams quickly selling out all their cherries and potted plants.
Many who didn’t manage to buy any were regretful and asked if they’d be back selling the next day, with the students beaming proudly and full of a sense of accomplishment.
Green vines and wildflowers were also woven into garlands by Luo Ning and her students and given to the children present.
Luo Ning encouraged them to interact with the kids, so every student got some camera time, and it all looked very loving and cheerful, greatly increasing their popularity.
At just past twelve, they had completed their task early, so they cheerfully discussed going to find a place for lunch before purchasing ingredients for dinner.
Luo Ning checked her phone for local delicacies and picked out a popular restaurant with local specialties, then headed there with Lu Xun and the students.
The restaurant wasn’t far from the square, so they decided to walk there.
As they walked a short distance, Luo Ning spotted a middle-aged woman holding a child and rushing towards them, accompanied by a middle-aged man.
The two appeared to be a couple taking care of their child, so they didn’t attract much attention.
Just as they passed by Luo Ning, she stopped them, “Wait a moment!”
