External events are not currently affecting the villagers.
From the moment Director Gong announced the task, the two teams, consisting of five guests and five staff members, began to compete in woodworking.
Ah, I misspoke.
There should be four guests and five staff members.
Because Xia Zhiyi inexplicably became everyone's teacher.
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
It has to be said that, whether the production team did it on purpose or by sheer coincidence, the selected staff members were just as talented in woodworking as the guests—simply put, none of them knew anything about wood or tools.
But it's okay.
Sometimes, meeting someone you don't know doesn't stop you from getting things done!
So after a brief period of deliberation, everyone quickly reached a consensus— Xia Zhiyi would be in charge of drawing various diagrams, while they would be responsible for sawing, chopping, and assembling the wood.
The reason it developed into this way...
[ Teacher Xia really knows about mortise and tenon joints!]
Wow, that's amazing! It's connected so securely without any nails!
[It can even be disassembled without damage? Is this the ancestor of Lego?]
[That's backwards! It's clearly our ancestors who came first!]
[It's clear that Teacher Xia has tried her best to lower the difficulty level, hahaha]
Xia Zhiyi watched silently as Wang Chengran once again accidentally shaved a piece of wood a little too much, causing the two pieces to not fit together perfectly. He looked confused and didn't know where he had gone wrong. Xia Zhiyi sighed.
[ Teacher Xia sighs]
[ Teacher Xia: I can't teach him, I really can't teach him. He can't even copy the picture correctly. I'm at my wit's end.]
[Hahaha, it's okay, everyone here is equally matched, like the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix, hahaha]
[Hilarious! Director Gong, in order to be fair, simply didn't let Teacher Xia participate. Do they really think they can gather enough items for the auction this way? Hahaha!]
In comparison, Xue Ranran and Qin Yue forming a temporary team is much more reliable than someone like Wang Chengran.
After realizing they couldn't carve as much wood as Xia Zhiyi could, Xue Ranran and Qin Yue opted for a slower, more meticulous approach. They carefully followed the markings Xia Zhiyi had left, and after a whole day and dinner, they finally succeeded in creating a flexible wooden frame.
Wooden shelves come in several shapes and serve different functions depending on their variations. One can even be used as a bookshelf for reading, making it quite a remarkable object.
Yes, it's also made from a single piece of wood. When not in use, it folds up to the size of a piece of wood, so it doesn't take up much space, similar to the previous stool.
When Xue Ranran and Qin Yue confirmed that they had successfully made it, they excitedly shouted out.
Xue Ranran: "Ahhhhh, we did it! We did it! Sister Yueyue, we did it!"
Qin Yue: "Ahhh, it's finally finished! Thank goodness it was a success! I'm so glad it wasn't ruined!"
Overwhelmed with emotion, the two embraced tightly, tears welling in their eyes. "This is so wonderful, waaaaaah!"
Xia Zhiyi, who had been watching silently from the side, said, "... I brought the sandpaper. Sisters, do you want me to do it, or will you do it yourselves?"
Xue Ranran & Qin Yue: "Don't touch it! We'll do it ourselves!"
Wow! It actually turned out well!
[Suddenly I feel like I can do it too!]
[I spent a whole day working on this frame, and I thought it would end up like Wang Chengran's, where a mistake in any detail would ruin everything.]
[Actually, no, my dad can do these things too. He says that if you don't strive for perfection, it can be fixed. We have nails and wood glue these days.]
Wow, finally we see a decent finished product!
Hearing the noise, Wang Chengran rushed over excitedly. Seeing the frame set up on the wooden platform, his eyes lit up. "Wow! You really made it!"
That's fine then.
However, in the following days, Xue Ranran and Qin Yue successfully changed the name of the program to "Xue Ranran, Qin Yue and Their Useless Men" in front of everyone.
Oh right, let's exclude Xia Zhiyi.
Xia Zhiyi stood in a higher position.
It's amazing how Xue Ranran and Qin Yue are far more talented than Wang Chengran and Fu Yunyi when it comes to making things.
If we were to rank them, Xia Zhiyi be at the top, followed by Xue Ranran, then Qin Yue, then Fu Yunyi, Wang Chengran at the bottom.
The most capable staff member was also a petite girl, which surprised everyone.
However, it's impossible to master something in such a short time; at best, it's just a matter of who copies homework better. But it still provides plenty of entertainment.
Xia Zhiyi said: Although I seem to have inexplicably become a teacher, well... whatever makes you happy.
Time always seems to fly by in a busy rush; a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the auction that Director Gong had mentioned.
Xia Zhiyi got up for his morning exercise before dawn, as usual Wang Chengran and Fu Yunyi, who were woken up by him, were half asleep and half awake because they had been working hard the night before. They followed him on instinct.
The two were running with their eyes almost closed, so they didn't immediately notice the activity platform that the production team had set up overnight in the open space next to Seventh Uncle's house.
Xia Zhiyi did see it, but he wasn't surprised, because he had heard noises in the middle of the night, but after realizing it wasn't dangerous, he ignored it.
So the three of them, one conscious and the other sleepy, passed by the makeshift platform.
The staff member, who had been waiting to see if the guest would have any surprising reactions. "..."
Xiao Yang: "..."
After Xiao Yang realized what was happening, Xia Zhiyi had already run some distance with her two "apprentices." He quickly caught up and asked, " Teacher Xia, why don't you seem surprised at all?"
Xia Zhiyi slowed down, puzzled. "What's so surprising?"
Xiao Yang: "..."
Oh, this.
Okay, it doesn't seem surprising at all.
It's a pity that Director Gong deliberately prepared everything, leaving the stage set up overnight on the last day, hoping to give the guests a shock of " Xia Country speed," but it seems he failed.
Xia Zhiyi blinked, as if she had thought of something, and smiled, "Ah, um, you guys are really amazing!"
Xiao Yang: "..."
It feels like a kindergarten kid being praised.
Xiao Yang decided not to make things difficult for himself and quickly left.
Fu Yunyi and Wang Chengran finally woke up a few minutes later.
Fu Yunyi & Wang Chengran: Did someone just speak to Teacher Xia / Xia Zhiyi?
Never mind, since we didn't call them, it probably doesn't matter.
When the three returned to the cabin, they were shocked to see an activity platform that had suddenly appeared, Fu Yunyi with a Wang Chengran carpet.
Wang Chengran: "... Wow!"
Fu Yunyi: "Wow, that's amazing! You got it up and running in just one morning."
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
That's too fast, only one morning.
