Yi Chichi was feeling troubled, as it seemed like everyone had something to do except her.
Maybe she could go to the medical office and make some ointment out of the herbs?
But the ointment she made last time still hadn't been used, and making more now would just leave her with nowhere to store it, plus it wouldn't keep well.
After much deliberation, she decided to abandon the idea of bothering Uncle Yaozi for more herbs.
Fortunately, Liu Lan was persistently coming to her for embroidery lessons.
It was a rare sunny day, and Yi Chichi sat at the entrance of the medical office sketching embroidery patterns at Liu Lan and her friends' request.
"What kind of design do you want?"
"Something simple, pretty, and easy to embroider."
This request left Yi Chichi at a loss. She thought for a moment and then sketched a picture of orchids.
Since there were no paints or watercolors available, it had to be a pencil sketch.
