Hey, the Yangzhou Yunjin Workshop has got a "bearded challenger" today! Ali, a Persian merchant, hugs a golden pot and beats out a "clatter-clang" rhythm on the loom using the Abacus Code: "I hear you can use '1010' to weave Yunjin even more beautiful than Persian carpets! If you're tricking me, this pot of saffron goes to Huwa!" Huwa quickly covers his mouth: "I'm not drinking that spicy water!"
"Xiao Moli! Show them what we're made of!" shouted the Protagonist. Moli waves her hand, and Old Zhou carries in a "transforming" piece of Yunjin. As the fabric turns toward the sunlight, the "1010" code transforms from cloud patterns into the silhouette of Ali's Camel caravan. Ali gasps in amazement: "By the Prophet! This is even more magical than our flying carpets!" Master Zhang seizes the opportunity to shove a shuttle into Ali's hand: "Come on! Try our 'digital loom'!"
Right in the middle of all the excitement, a weaver uses the code manual as a cushion: "Miss Xiao! This cloth is warmer than my cotton-padded trousers!" Moli swooshes the manual out from underneath, revealing a head-knocking animation: "This is interlayer warmth brocade! Look—" She breathes on the manual, and the code steams up like a charcoal brazier, exposing a comic of "Persian roast mutton" drawn by Huwa on the back. Ali touches the warm manual and clicks his tongue in amazement: "Incredible! It's even more miraculous than our sheepskin warm tents!"
