30,000 Zongzi Orders Flood In, The Master Craftsman Flips the Table and Quits
For thirty years, Zhao Shouyi has faithfully upheld the traditional methods of making pagoda-shaped zongzi: washing the glutinous rice three times, soaking the bamboo leaves in well water, and carefully folding each layer into crisp, defined ridges. Tang Anqi advocates outsourcing mass production and selling through livestreams, bluntly dismissing handmade craftsmanship as inefficient. Unwilling to compromise his dignity as a master artisan, Zhao Shouyi quits. The next day, an order for 30,000 pagoda-shaped zongzi triggers a massive refund crisis when the products lack traditional craftsmanship. The vacuum-sealed bags swell and leak broth. With red, tearful eyes, Su Guifen comes to plead with him. Amid the swirling steam, Zhao Shouyi studies the defective zongzi, recalling his master's teachings: 'Whether this shop survives depends on these hands of mine.' As tradition clashes with online traffic, will the true value of craftsmanship finally be recognized?
