Chapter 233 Weaving
Linghua tilted her head slightly, her face full of confusion. "Reminiscing about the past? Why don't I remember us meeting a tailor from Fontaine?"
"Of course I know her. Have you forgotten? About ten years ago, a little girl broke into the backyard of Kamisato's house. That little girl's dream was to create her own clothing brand, and she wanted it to be popular throughout the entire continent of Teyvat. And ten years ago, with the help of the club's magistrate, she left Inazuma and went to Fontaine. If everything had gone smoothly, she should have her own brand."
Linghua's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it's Qianzhi! You left a deeper impression on me than I did. I'm still impressed by her drive and dedication to her dreams. After all these years, maybe she has really built her own brand. If it really is her, then we really need to catch up."
Linghua turned to Shuili and asked, "Xiaoli, what's the name of that tailor from Fontaine? Or what's the name of their brand?"
Shuili touched her chin and thought for a while. "I don't know the name of the tailor, but their brand seems to be called Qianzhiya."
Linghua's face was filled with joy. "It must be her, Qianzhiwu. This name reminds me of her. Let's go, let's go, Xiaoli, take me to see her. I hope she is still in Liyue."
Shuili nodded repeatedly and responded while walking quickly in front: "Yes, sister-in-law, they had a lot of orders yesterday. They should still be in Liyue now. I'll take you to see it."
Linghua quickened her pace and caught up, her eyes full of eagerness and anticipation, muttering, "I'm really looking forward to seeing her soon, and seeing what's so unique about her Qianzhiwu." The two figures gradually walked away.
Along the way, Linghua's mind had already drifted to Qianzhi and Qianzhi's house, whom she was about to meet. She couldn't help but ask Shuili, "Xiaoli, what style do you think the clothes designed by Qianzhi these years will be? Will they be more like Inazuma's style, or will they incorporate a lot of Fontaine's characteristics?"
Shui Li sighed, "Sister-in-law, this is the third time you've asked me this."
Linghua smiled a little embarrassedly, "Really? After all, we haven't seen each other for many years. I'm really curious about her achievements over the years."
Shuili smiled helplessly and continued, "Sister-in-law, there are all kinds of clothes on display there. There are styles with the elegant and exquisite charm of Inazuma, as well as the romantic and gorgeous style of Fontaine. There may even be unique designs that incorporate the characteristics of other places in Teyvat."
Linghua paused, then continued with anticipation, "Qianzhi's ability to blend styles from all over the world is truly growing. Master will definitely like her new clothes."
Shuili pointed to Chunxiang Kiln in front of her and said, "We're here. They set up their stall at Chunxiang Kiln yesterday. They said they would stay there for another day."
After Linghua and Shuili entered Chunxiang Kiln, they quickly searched the crowd but could not find Qianzhi.
At this time, Ying'er, a clerk from Chunxiang Kiln, came up to the two of them and said, "Oh, the proprietress of Bailu Shuanghua is here to take care of our Chunxiang Kiln's business. Welcome, welcome."
"Excuse me, is there a tailor named Qianzhi here?" Linghua asked politely.
Ying'er smiled softly, a sly look in her eyes: "So you're here to see Qianzhi. She's in the back hall discussing business with someone right now. But don't worry, you two can kill time by looking at the porcelain from our Chunxiang Kiln."
Linghua frowned slightly. Although she was eager to see Qianzhi, she didn't want to disturb her in the back hall. So she said, "Okay, let's take a look at the porcelain first."
Ying'er was introducing porcelain, her hand gently stroking an exquisite porcelain vase as she spoke with a profound meaning, "Porcelain and clothing actually have something in common. Both require meticulous carving and crafting to achieve that captivating charm. Qianzhi must have put the same care into making clothes. Each piece, like this porcelain, holds a story that begs to be savored."
Linghua and Shuili looked at the porcelain on the display stand absentmindedly, but their eyes kept unconsciously glancing towards the back hall.
Ying'er saw through their thoughts and raised her lips slightly, saying with a hint of joking, "Ah, I think your thoughts have long drifted to the back hall with Miss Qianzhi. Although this porcelain is exquisite, it still can't compare to Miss Qianzhi's clothes."
Linghua waved her hand and said, "Miss Ying'er, please don't misunderstand me. Qianzhi and I were childhood playmates. We haven't seen each other for many years and I miss her a lot. By the way, I want to ask her to make a piece of clothing for me."
As they were talking, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the back hall, and then Qianzhi appeared in front of everyone carrying someone.
"Ying'er, don't send all the garbage to me. You can deal with it next time." After saying that, Qianzhi threw the man aside. The man got up dejectedly and ran away crawling.
Ying'er looked at Qianzhi in shock and said, "You are too cruel. We are just partners. This will affect my business."
Qianzhi crossed her arms and responded with disdain, "Humph, Qianzhiya relies on careful design and meticulous production to win customers, not on catering to these tasteless people. Accepting orders that only want to use inferior materials and do a perfunctory job would damage our reputation. I would never do such a thing that would destroy my reputation. If you dislike it, I can find someone else to cooperate with."
Ying'er shrugged and said with a helpless smile, "Okay, okay, you're right, but I was really scared by that scene just now. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Two of your friends came to ask you to make clothes."
"I don't have any friends in Liyue, except those with whom I do business..." Qianzhi said as he turned to look behind Ying'er. When he saw that it was Linghua and Shuili, his indifferent expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a face full of surprise and excitement.
Qianzhi lowered her arms from her chest, walked quickly forward, and grabbed Linghua's hand: "You are Kamisato Linghua, it's really you. I didn't expect to see you here. I'm sorry for making you laugh just now."
Linghua also shook Qianzhi's hand tightly, her eyes full of smiles and emotion: "Qianzhi, long time no see. Seeing your resolute and decisive attitude just now, I know that you are still the independent and principled you. It has been ten years since we last met."
Chiori nodded, "Yes, it's been ten years, and my Chiori House has been established for three years."
Linghua smiled and responded, "Your current achievements are all the result of your own hard work. Now you can come to Liyue to do business. I heard from Xiaoli that you had a lot of orders yesterday. I know your Qianzhiwu must be very popular."
Shui Li smiled and interrupted, "Sister Qianzhi, we met yesterday. My sister-in-law was thinking about you all the way and kept asking me about the style of the clothes you made."
"Sister-in-law?" Qianzhi was slightly stunned, then reacted and looked at Linghua: "Oh, so you are already married. It seems that a lot has happened to Inazuma in the past few years. I haven't been back for a long time and haven't had the chance to congratulate you properly."
Linghua said shyly, "Yeah, it has indeed changed a lot. Inazuma has lifted the lockdown. You can come back to Inazuma when you have time. Our company's magistrate can also help you promote Chiori-ya. No matter what, the friendship between us will always be there."
Qianzhi waved her hand and said firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it. My brand must be built up bit by bit through my own strength, and I must win the recognition of customers through quality and unique designs. I want everyone to like Qianzhiya's clothes out of their true love, not because of any other external support."
Linghua nodded slightly, her eyes full of approval, and responded, "I understand your perspective. Achievements achieved through hard work are more fulfilling and last longer. I'll wait and see how Qianzhiwu becomes increasingly prosperous in Teyvat thanks to your abilities."
Qianzhi smiled and said confidently, "Haha, of course, I have absolute confidence. You didn't come here just to reminisce about the past, did you?"
Linghua also laughed and responded, "There is indeed one more thing. I would like to ask you to help me make a piece of clothing."
