The Little Lucky Girl

"Then just make two identical molds and put them together." Carpenter Liu thought it was not difficult. "What shape do you want? If it's not complicated, I'll make it for you right now."

Ming Youyou thought for a while and said, "Just make a circle." She thought this was the simplest way.

Carpenter Liu's expression was indescribable. You can make the dough into a circle by just kneading it with your hands, so why do you need a mold?

However, this child had previously introduced him to Grandpa Tong, and the small items they collaborated on sold for a lot of money.

Not to mention one circle, he would have no complaints even if he was asked to carve a hundred or eighty of them.

"Okay, you just play around for a while and the mold will be ready in a while."

“No,” Ming Youyou blew a breath into his hands, rubbed them and said, “You come and teach me, I want to carve it myself.”

Seeing her trying to grab the carving knife without saying a word, Carpenter Liu was frightened and hurriedly stopped her, "This is not a joke, if you are not careful you will cut your fingers and bleed."

After saying that, he showed her the cuts of varying sizes on his hands.

Ming Youyou swallowed and said, "Then we can carve it slowly. The circle doesn't need to be too big. It's enough as long as it has the meaning."

Seeing that he failed to scare her, Carpenter Liu had to carefully hold the end of the carving knife and guide her to carve a circle not much bigger than a black bean.

Ming Youyou looked at it with satisfaction, found some leftover snow in the yard, mixed it with soil and put it in. Sure enough, a dirty little ball was pressed out.

She said to the system with a smile: "Look, this is what I made. I can learn this craft."

Carpenter Liu thought he was talking to him, and smiled and coaxed him, "Yes, you made it." He wiped the sweat from his head. Carving with two people together would be much more tiring than for him alone.

Ming Youyou played with it for a while, then ran over holding the mold and said, "Brother Liu, have you ever thought about making a hole in the mold and putting the gourd in when it is very small? Slowly it will grow into the shape of the mold."

Carpenter Liu was stunned for a moment. "What's the point of making the gourd grow into a circle? Can it scoop more water?"

Ming Youyou looked at him speechlessly, "Can't you make it grow in another mold? For example, one with a birthday star or old man pattern, or a vase pattern? As long as you can carve it, it can grow into that shape."

Carpenter Liu was completely confused. "This, this, this... is that still a gourd?"

"Why do you have to have a gourd?" The Liu family's wife, who was coaxing her child to sleep in the house, couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out and said, "In my opinion, if you make this thing into something that others can't imagine, then it will be valuable."

"Sister-in-law has good taste," Ming Youyou praised, "Bamboo, wood, ivory, horn, and gourd (pao). The gourd refers to the gourd. The gentlemen in the city originally like to carve beautiful patterns on gourds. If we really make this novel style, they will definitely like it more."

The Liu family's daughter-in-law felt embarrassed for a moment after being praised. She looked around the yard and felt a little regretful that it was winter, otherwise she would have wanted to dig a hole and start planting gourds right away.

Seeing that Carpenter Liu hadn't figured out the trick, she pinched his lower back in anger and said, "Dad, don't take it lightly. Remember a few years ago, a winter melon grew in a clay pot. Our son was naughty and wanted to see what the winter melon had become. As a result, he broke the pot. You beat him up for this."

The Liu family's wife said excitedly: "If winter melon can grow into the shape of a clay pot, then gourds can too."

Ming Youyou nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's right. You should think carefully about how to carve out nice patterns. Also, it's best to carve it in one mold. Although it's much harder to carve than carving it in two halves, it's not likely to be stretched apart by the gourd, and the finished product will look better."

"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law will keep a close eye on him." The Liu family's daughter-in-law enthusiastically wanted to keep Ming Youyou for dinner, but when she saw that she insisted on leaving, she packed a lot of snacks and reluctantly sent her out the door.

The system saw Ming Youyou walking forward seriously. When it could no longer see the Liu family yard, it immediately started to rummage through the snacks in its arms. Then it said quietly, "So you are finding a bug in the rules?"

"What is a bug?" Ming Youyou asked vaguely with a big plum in her mouth.

"It means loophole." The system said, "You are taking advantage of the loophole in the rules."

Ming Youyou blinked, "No way, you see I really did it, but it's just a little bit simpler. And I only told people the part I learned."

The mold used in the original video was made of plaster, which they didn't have here; and she hadn't learned how to carve the pattern, so Carpenter Liu had to figure it out on his own.

"But you taught him the most important idea." The system pointed out mercilessly.

Ming Youyou felt a little guilty, "Well... could you please not report this to the Star Alliance or something?"

The system flashed. You thought no one else noticed? At least the people in the research institute knew it.

When Ming Youyou saw that the system stopped talking, she knew it had agreed, and ran back to the yard happily.

Feng Xu immediately pulled her out when he saw her, "Why did you take so long? Didn't I tell you to come back earlier? Hurry up, or you won't be able to have the feast if you're late."

Today is the day when the entire village officially moves to the foot of the mountain, and it is also the day when Yuxiang and Shi Dalang get engaged.

Ming Youyou and the others were quite surprised when they first heard that the two were going to get engaged. Yuxiang had only come down the mountain a few times, and she came to their place almost every time. So how could she have fallen in love with Shi Dalang?

Village chief Shi watched with a smile, thinking it was worth his time to guard the foot of the mountain every day. When he saw someone coming down the mountain, he immediately asked his son to drive to pick them up.

He originally wanted to persuade people to settle in their village, but unexpectedly he ended up picking up a daughter-in-law. "It's fate, it's all fate." He said to the chief with emotion.

The leader was also very satisfied with his future son-in-law, but he still hesitantly reminded him: "Lao Shi, we have already agreed before..."

"Don't worry, our promise will not change. When the two of you get married, we will let Dalang live in your village."

The leader was very happy, "I also promise you that I will treat Dalang well and will not let anyone bully him..."

The older generation of the village felt that since they had moved to a new place, the young people would understand things better than they did, and they unanimously decided to take over and become the new leader after Yuxiang got married. Well, now he should be called the new village chief.

Seeing that County Magistrate Tao had also come to the wedding to drink, holding a map in his hand and chatting animatedly with the village elders, Ming Youyou also came over and asked, "Sir, when can we turn this place into a town?"

Magistrate Tao smiled and pointed at the map, saying, "See? When these areas are full of people and connected from the foot of the mountain to the official road, we can change the name to a town."

"Oh, why don't you go find someone else to come over."

"Do you think we're looking for someone to pick mushrooms in the woods?" Magistrate Tao said with a smile. He had drunk a bit too much wine today and was a bit tipsy, but his temper was quite good. "Don't worry, don't worry. 'Plant a phoenix tree and it will surely come.' Now that the scale has been established, it's only a matter of time before someone comes. It'll be soon, soon, hahaha."

As a result, the phoenix didn't come yet, but the peacock came first.
