As the spring fair approaches, an old paper workshop in Qingshi Alley faces a crisis: the newly made lantern paper has wrinkled from moisture, threatening their ability to deliver on time. Determined to protect their longstanding reputation, the craftsmen refuse to rush. Instead, they methodically examine every step of the process—from paper fibers and pulp mixing to water sources, edge-trimming, and sun-drying. Through repeated trials, practical testing, and close attention to feedback from veteran customers, they adapt to tight deadlines and changing weather. By relying on craftsmanship and facts, they ultimately produce smooth, durable lantern paper and deliver right on time for the spring fair.
