Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers

Chapter 211: An Orphan Girl from a Poor Mountain Village and a Rebellious Movie Star (2)

The old lady who was younger than Aunt Hua looked at Aunt Hua with disdain.

When it comes to making lanterns, Aunt Liu San dares to say she is second to none, because she has inherited the true teachings from the old predecessors, unlike Aunt Hua who is a half-baked one.

Aunt Hua looked at the person who was sarcastically attacking her. It was Aunt Liu. Her originally disdainful look immediately changed. She generously did not bother with Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu's cooking skills were well-known in the town, and she really could not compare with her.

After this mobilization meeting, the elderly and children in the town were full of enthusiasm.

With their distinctive lanterns already hanging on the streets, they're thinking of creating more of their traditional oil-paper umbrellas and displaying them on the streets. Those skilled in woodworking are thinking of creating some ingenious wood carvings or even some beautiful household items...

After the people in the town knew that this idea was proposed by Gu Shutang, they surrounded her and asked her to come up with some ideas and finalize the drawings for making these traditional old things.

They have lived in a small town all their lives, completely out of touch with the people outside, and really have no idea what style of things people outside like.

If the changes proposed by Gu Shutang were not simply made with local materials and did not require them to spend most of their financial resources, there would probably be very few people in the town willing to participate.

After all, the family's annual harvest is limited. If the money is spent on this uncertain thing, they may have to live a tight life and cause their children and grandchildren who are away from home to worry about them.

They did not dare to gamble their family's money on this uncertain possibility.

Fortunately, Gu Shutang's proposal only requires things that can be found everywhere in nature and their worthless manpower.

Aunt Liu San and Aunt Hua Lao attached more importance to this matter. When they went to the county market, they saw that these outsiders did not take money seriously. If their town could attract them to spend money.

These old ladies in their sixties and seventies can also earn some money for the family, so their children don’t have to save money on food and drink outside and send the saved money back to them.

The townspeople who attended the meeting today, even Mayor Xu, could not believe what Gu Shutang said about the descendants of every household being able to go home and earn money without having to work outside.

The reason they were willing to support Gu Shutang's idea was simply to earn some money for the family in the short term, at least to reduce the burden on the children.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Hua directly borrowed paper and pen from Mayor Xu and drew some drawings on the spot, wanting Gu Shutang to refer to them.

Gu Shutang saw drawings with an ancient atmosphere, each stroke of which had a unique temperament. There was also a palace lantern that looked very complicated, which was like a quick tour.

Gu Shutang's eyes were filled with excitement. "Grandmothers, you two are still as charming as ever. The drawings you drew are really eye-catching."

"As long as you can ensure that the lanterns you make are exactly like the drawings, don't worry, people will definitely buy them."

The plot has described the small town many times as the place where the heroine lives. It is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. An inconspicuous old lady is the inheritor of a certain intangible cultural heritage, but she is unwilling to touch it easily because of the unspeakable years of her youth.

With Gu Shutang's words, the two old ladies gained more confidence and inspiration, and they drew several drawings in succession. Even other people were eager to try.

There was even an old man with half-white hair who left the town government directly and returned to his home not far away, where he took out all the oil-paper umbrellas he had made.

"Shu Tang, what do you think of the oil-paper umbrella that Grandpa Niu made? It's pretty good, right?"

Grandpa Niu came over with an oil-paper umbrella that looked like an ink painting and placed it in front of Gu Shutang. He looked worried and rubbed his hands anxiously.

"Of course, Grandpa Niu, just do as you wish. I want to buy one myself when I see it, let alone those tourists."

Gu Shutang saw Grandpa Niu, who was usually a bit silent. Apart from cleaning the vegetable garden, he would sit at the doorstep and look at the road leading into the town. He actually had such a childish expression on his face, and his eyes were a little sore.

Grandpa Niu was about to hand the oil-paper umbrella to Gu Shutang after hearing this. Gu Shutang waved his hands to refuse, but Grandpa Niu didn't want to give up. He insisted on stuffing it into Gu Shutang's hands, muttering over and over: "If you like it, take it, kid."

Finally, Gu Shutang came up with a compromise. He regarded this oil-paper umbrella as a donation from Grandpa Niu for the construction of the town and placed it on the roadside outside for the upcoming tourists to appreciate.

Others also took out their ready-made woven handicrafts from home and asked Gu Shutang for advice. Gu Shutang's affirmative words were like a reassurance to them. After leaving the town government, some went up the mountain to cut bamboo, and some cut wood...

Everyone has their own busy places.

Gu Shutang wanted the handicrafts displayed on the street, whether they were lanterns, oil-paper umbrellas or wood carvings, to have consistent tones so that they would look more coordinated visually, so he designated several colors for them.

As for the handicrafts displayed in their homes or stalls, Gu Shutang did not interfere, but let them express themselves freely, and there would always be someone who liked them.

Gu Shutang doesn't have the intangible cultural heritage skills of the grandparents in the small town that can turn ordinary things into something magical, but she can make some local rice noodles.

There are too many things to prepare when setting up a food stall, and not many people are willing to do it. Gu Shutang wants to set an example for them. If one person succeeds, the rest will follow suit when they see that it is profitable.

The houses left over from the Qing Dynasty in the town have become a beautiful landscape, but they have fallen into disrepair and look a bit shabby.

Gu Shutang helped clean up the house with the teenage boys in the town who had just started junior high school.

It is summer vacation now, and every household in the town has a few students on vacation. It just so happens that they are all quite familiar with Gu Shutang and are obedient to her.

Gu Shutang was very good at directing the work. She led these young boys to clean the walls of every household, apply a layer of paint, and replace the window paper.

They even used the strong detergent powder she took out from the space to replace the ordinary laundry detergent bought in the county town. In just one afternoon, the streets were cleaned by them.

Of course, the money was sponsored by the town government, and she was only responsible for buying things in the county town.

Even if Gu Shutang could take out the money and exchange the jewels in the space to buy these, it would still arouse suspicion among the people in the town.

But she was an orphan who grew up alone in a small town. Even if she had excellent grades and received scholarships, the money she saved would not be enough to buy all these things.

It will only make people suspicious, so it is better to ask the town government to sponsor it directly.

Since Mayor Xu wants to change the town, he won't be stingy with the money.
