The villagers brought their own stools when they came to listen to Li Xianyun teach them skills.
They sat wherever they could find space, creating a chaotic scene; it was necessary to get them to sit in an orderly manner.
Li Xianyun had the villagers sit on the east, west, and south sides, centered around the cooking area under the locust tree, leaving the north side by the cooking area as her lecturing space.
Surrounded by the villagers on three sides, this arrangement allowed more people to clearly see the demonstration.
They sat in rows horizontally and vertically, with one-meter gaps between each row and column, so it was convenient for her and Youlan to walk around and give guidance.
Meanwhile, Li Xianyun had those with taller stools sit at the back, and those with shorter ones at the front.
Then she made minor adjustments based on everyone's height to ensure that all could see clearly.
