Shen Qiqi's words were like a heavy bomb, instantly detonating the enthusiasm of the scene.
The villagers' enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. They looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces stiffened into awkward expressions.
The air seemed to be frozen, leaving only the rustling sound of wind blowing through the leaves, which seemed particularly abrupt.
"Not enough materials?" Shen Qiqi frowned, a hint of anxiety flashed in her eyes, and her originally excited mood instantly plummeted.
She looked around at the villagers' expectant eyes, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions, as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at her heart, making her feel uneasy.
This is the heating device she has finally developed, and it is about to be popularized in the village. If it gets stuck at the material stage, won’t it be doomed?
no!
We absolutely cannot let this thing fail!
Shen Qiqi encouraged herself in her heart, as if she had been injected with chicken blood, and her whole body was full of energy.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner anxiety.
The little brain was working rapidly, like a high-speed computer, frantically searching for various solutions.
She frowned and tapped her thighs unconsciously with her fingers, making a "da da da" sound, like the rapid sound of war drums on the battlefield, which invisibly gave people a sense of oppression.
"What should I do?" she murmured to herself, her voice full of helplessness and anxiety.
She knew that if the material problem could not be resolved in time, all her previous efforts would be in vain, which was absolutely unacceptable!
"Let's go and look for it. Maybe we can find something!" She said to Lu Qing and rushed out like an arrow.
She ran around the village like a headless fly, sometimes running to the end of the village, sometimes running to the end of the village, turning everything that could be used upside down.
She didn't let go of any of the worn-out wooden boards or discarded iron sheets, and she wanted to search the entire village.
She walked hurriedly, determined to achieve her goal.
She was like an explorer on a treasure hunt, searching carefully in every corner, not missing any clues.
The village suddenly became a mess, and everyone followed Shen Qiqi, as if they were carrying out a national treasure hunt. The scene was lively and spectacular.
Lu Qing looked at her busy figure, feeling both distressed and helpless. He could only follow closely behind her, fearing that she would get bumped.
He knew that Shen Qiqi was doing this so that everyone could have a warm winter, and her anxious look made him feel even more distressed.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sun gradually set, dyeing the sky orange.
Shen Qiqi searched for the entire afternoon, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her clothes were covered in dust, but she still couldn't find enough materials, and she became more and more irritated.
Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly stopped and stared straight ahead, as if she had discovered a new world.
Instead of looking for materials, she went straight to the carpenter's shop in the village with a meaningful smile on her face and a cunning gleam in her eyes.
Shen Qiqi rushed into the carpenter's shop in a hurry, scaring Carpenter Zhang who was taking a nap so much that he trembled and almost made the plane in his hand fly out.
"Oh, my little ancestor, what are you doing? You're making so much noise, it's scary!" Carpenter Zhang stroked his chest and looked at Shen Qiqi with horror.
He thought to himself, has this girl gone crazy after searching for the entire afternoon and failing to find any materials?
Shen Qiqi chuckled and rolled her eyes like a fox that had stolen a chicken.
"Uncle Zhang, you have such great craftsmanship, could you help me transform those old wood and scrap metal? Just like I said before, make them into the parts needed for the heating device!"
When Carpenter Zhang heard this, he was stunned and his jaw almost dropped.
He thought Shen Qiqi was about to give up, but he didn't expect that this girl would actually set her sights on the old materials. Her train of thought was quite unique.
"Use old ones? Is that okay? If it goes bad, how can I save face?" He was a little hesitant. After all, in his opinion, the quality of old materials was not good. If it ruined his reputation, it would be a big loss.
Shen Qiqi saw his concerns, patted her chest, and said confidently: "Oh, Uncle Zhang, don't worry! I promise I can do it! Just think of it as helping me, just think of it as doing something good for the villagers. Everyone is counting on having a warm winter!" She acted coquettishly and cutely, coaxing and deceiving him, using all her tricks.
Carpenter Zhang was so annoyed by her pestering that he lost his temper. He also felt that this thing could be done, so he relented: "Okay, okay, it's my fault that I'm an old man with a soft heart! But I have to say, if you can't do it, don't blame me!" He picked up the tools and started to work.
I saw him moving his knife and the plane flying on the wood, making a "swish, swish, swish" sound; the hammer hit the iron sheet, making a "ding-ding-dang-dang" rhythm.
In a short while, the originally dilapidated wood and iron sheets were given new life under the skillful hands of Carpenter Zhang.
An hour later, the brand new parts were neatly placed on the ground, sparkling with metallic luster.
Shen Qiqi looked at these "transform decay into magic" materials in front of her, her eyes lit up and her face was full of joy, like a lucky person who won the lottery.
"Wow! Uncle Zhang, you are so amazing! Your craftsmanship is amazing!" She praised without hesitation.
The villagers looked at the pile of brand new materials in front of them. They were frowning before and suddenly smiled. Their cheers resounded through the sky, and it was as lively as the New Year.
