So, after dark, Wu the carpenter made a wooden tool according to the method provided by Le Bai.
This tool is somewhat like a stool, with two wooden strips in the middle. By rotating them, the cotton seeds can be squeezed out.
However, this method requires constant hand rotation, which is very tiring. Moreover, removing the seeds from the cotton is only one step; the next step is to fluff the cotton before a quilt or cotton-padded clothing can be made.
Le Bai got stuck again.
Even Gu Rui, who was standing next to him, had only heard about it and had never actually seen a cotton-fluffing scene.
The two looked at each other, guessing each other's identities while also feeling a little annoyed that they hadn't bothered to research how to fluff cotton before.
Inside the temple, Yu Luo found it quite interesting, watching the scene and wondering how the two of them solved the problem of cotton fluffing.
"System, Lin Mo is right. It's really not appropriate to ask me about such trivial matters as fluffing cotton and making cotton clothes."
She does indeed have diagrams of cotton ginning machines and spinning yarn.
But if she provides everything, what's the point of having these believers?
She wanted to transform this place into a self-sufficient paradise, a place to escape the wars and conflicts outside, and a place to protect these people.
Instead of letting these people become useless, they come to beg for help all the time.
"It would be appropriate to stipulate that if useful tools are developed, a certain number of contribution points can be awarded. This would stimulate the creativity of more believers."
Yu Luo gradually began to form a plan.
…
The next morning, while Le Bai and Gu Rui were still pondering, Wu the carpenter arrived again.
He took out a new tool, a modified bicycle that didn't require constant hand-operation; he could simply step on the wooden board to continuously squeeze the cotton seeds.
Not only that, there was also a tray on top for holding cotton.
Le Bai circled around, his expression full of amazement. Indeed, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. He had only provided an initial idea for a tool, but Wu the carpenter was able to modify it into a more labor-saving bicycle in just one night!
"Carpenter Wu, you're amazing!" Le Bai gave a thumbs up.
"Master, the cotton-fluffing tool you mentioned, should look like this, right?" Carpenter Wu then took out a large bow.
"This was made by my apprentice. I tried it and found that plucking the bowstring does indeed make the cotton softer."
The matter concerned cotton-padded clothes for keeping warm in winter. Carpenter Wu and his apprentices stayed up all night, studying the cotton-fluffing method that Master Le and Brother Gu had mentioned.
However, this bow was still too cumbersome to use, and they felt there should be a lighter one.
"Carpenter Wu, this bow is ready!" The two young people who had traveled through time were completely stunned.
Is this the wisdom of the ancients?
“Miss Mo, Miss Xiang, what do you think?” Carpenter Wu turned to look at the two women beside him.
Lin Mo looked down at the booklet in her hand, her heart skipped a beat.
Many people don't know that these contribution points weren't given out randomly.
This booklet was a gift from the Mountain Goddess, used to record the contribution points of all believers in the desolate mountains.
Every time the villagers do something beneficial for the barren mountain, the booklet will automatically update and add new contribution points.
Now, the two tools that Wu the carpenter and his apprentice developed together have actually earned them 800 contribution points!
Although it was distributed to Wu the carpenter and his apprentices, it was still a lot!
To be honest, Lin Mo and Xiang Niangzi have never seen so many contribution points since they got their hands on this booklet!
The two women read out the number of contribution points, and Wu the carpenter's apprentices cheered.
With so many contribution points, they can exchange them for enough cotton-padded clothes and new grain seeds!
The other villagers in Linjia Village were extremely envious, but they did not give up.
Contribution points can be used to create tools and earn contribution points, but who knows, they might be able to earn them from other sources?
Of course, this scene also sends a signal to all believers: creating useful things can earn you more contribution points!
"Miss Jasmine, Lady Xiang, what if we make some useful farm tools?" someone asked quietly.
Lin Mo nodded, "Then there must be contribution points too!"
The man beamed with joy and hurriedly ran back to tell the others what had happened.
On the morning of the third day, it was time to worship the Mountain Goddess again.
Zhang Niangzi has brought the believers over. This time, there are more than twice as many believers as before, more than 300 people, which is more than the total number of people in Linjia Village.
"Why are there so many believers this time?" Old Mrs. Gongsun was very surprised.
Mrs. Zhang sighed.
