"What techniques?" Zhou Wanwan asked anxiously.

"First, you need to choose the right tool. The surface of soybeans is relatively smooth, and ordinary carving knives may not be suitable for them.

You can try using a thinner needle, or making some special tools yourself," Master Nakayama explained.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and immediately began looking for suitable tools.

She found some fine needles and fine sandpaper and began to try different carving methods.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the soybeans always broke during the carving process.

"Teacher, I still can't do it." Zhou Wanwan said frustratedly.

Master Zhongshan smiled, picked up a soybean, and gently scratched it a few times.

"Carving soybeans requires patience and meticulousness. You can't rush it, you have to do it slowly and gently."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the teacher's techniques and gained some understanding.

She took a deep breath, picked up another soybean, and began to carve it carefully. This time, she slowed down and was extra careful with every stroke.

Although the soybeans were still fragile, they finally did not break thanks to her careful operation.

"Success!" Zhou Wanwan shouted excitedly.

Master Zhongshan nodded and said approvingly: "Very good, you have mastered the basic skills.

Next, you need to practice more patterns and make the carving more detailed.”

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan spent almost all her time on soybean carving, starting with simple lines and gradually trying complex patterns.

Every time she failed, she would carefully analyze the reasons and start again.

Gradually, her carving skills became more and more sophisticated, and the patterns on the soybeans became more and more exquisite.

However, just when Zhou Wanwan thought she was about to succeed, bad news came from the store.

Due to poor sales of soybean jewelry, the supplier decided to stop supplying soybeans.

This means that Zhou Wanwan’s soybean jewelry project may be forced to terminate.

"Wanwan, what should we do?" Qianqian asked anxiously.

Zhou Wanwan gritted her teeth, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. "We can't give up. Since the supplier won't supply soybeans, we'll grow them ourselves!"

Qian Qian looked at Zhou Wan Wan in surprise. "Grow it yourself? That takes a lot of time and energy!"

"I know, but this is our only chance." Zhou Wanwan said firmly.

“I have contacted agricultural experts who will guide us on how to grow soybean.

As long as we can grow high-quality soybeans, we can continue to make jewelry.”

Qian Qian looked at Zhou Wan Wan's determined eyes and finally nodded. "Okay, I support you. Let's work hard together!"

So, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian started their soybean planting plan.

They rented a piece of farmland and were busy in the fields every day. From sowing to fertilizing,

From weeding to watering, they did every step themselves. Although the process was hard, they never gave up.

A few months later, the soybeans finally matured, and Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian excitedly harvested the soybeans and prepared for the next step of processing.

Zhou Wanwan stood in the golden soybean field, holding a handful of ripe soybeans in her hands, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

She turned around and smiled at Qianqian who was also covered in mud: "We did it, Qianqian."

Qianqian also smiled. She looked at the farmland they had worked so hard on.

A sense of accomplishment filled my heart. "Yes, we did it. But what do we do next?"

Zhou Wanwan looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and then said: "Next, we will process these soybeans into the most exquisite jewelry.

Let everyone see that our soybean jewelry is not just a piece of jewelry, but also a kind of art. "

Qianqian looked at Zhou Wanwan. She knew that this idea might be difficult to achieve, but she believed in Zhou Wanwan.

Back in the studio, Zhou Wanwan began to study the processing of soybeans.

She experimented with many methods and tried many processes, but soybeans were too fragile and difficult to process.

She felt desperate at one point, but whenever she thought of her and Qianqian's hard work in the soybean fields, she told herself not to give up.

Master Zhongshan saw Zhou Wanwan like this, walked up to her and said softly:

"Wanwan, you don't have to try everything at once. You can take it step by step and start with the basics."

Zhou Wanwan raised her head and looked at Master Zhongshan, her eyes full of confusion.

"Teacher, I have tried many methods, but the texture of soybeans is too fragile. I can't process it as finely as other materials."

Master Zhongshan smiled, picked up a soybean, and gently scratched it a few times.

"Wanwan, you know, although soybeans are fragile, their natural textures are very unique. You can use these textures to create unique patterns."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Master Zhongshan's technique and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

She immediately began to experiment. She used a small carving knife to lightly outline the natural texture of the soybeans, and then colored them with special pigments.

After many attempts, she finally created a piece of soybean jewelry.

She took the jewelry and walked to Master Zhongshan, who put on his glasses.

He looked at it carefully. He nodded and said softly, "Very good, Wanwan.

This piece of jewelry is simple, but it is full of natural beauty. This is what you need, a unique piece of art.”
