Chapter 102 She Just Wants to Be a Toy

Yu Hongdou brought three toys this time, one was a model made by Yu Erlang, and two were finished products made by Zhuangzi.

"My brother bought me some wood carvings last time I came here. When I went back to play, I thought it would be more fun if the carvings could move. My second uncle made me a movable one after hearing what I said."

As she spoke, Yu Hongdou took the toy plate model handed over by Duan Yuan and pulled the string to demonstrate it to Master Tan Bailu.

Monk Tan Bailu and Master Wang were knowledgeable, but they had never seen such children's toys. It looked extremely simple, but it made people want to stare at the little wooden man moving around.

"I thought this was interesting, so I asked the people on the farm to make a few more, intending to give them to my relatives and friends to play with. Then the people on the farm were smart and made two for me."

Yu Hongdou asked Duan Yuan to demonstrate the "Inspection of Troops on the Battlefield" and asked Duan Zhuangtou to demonstrate the "Shaolin Martial Arts Performance", while she herself was still holding the most original model.

Now Master Tan Bailu’s eyes were no longer enough.

Especially Tan Bailu, who is a bit of a fantasy person. Her eyes flickered back and forth among the three versions, and her eyeballs shook like rattles.

When I saw the original version of the little wooden man, I was amazed by the fantastic stories about him, such as the wooden man, the flowing horse, and ghosts.

When I saw the soldier version of the little man holding a sword, my mind started waving flags and shouting loudly for killing.

Looking at the monk version of the villain raising his leg and punching, an image of majestic and solemn majesty comes to mind.

"Is this what you thought?" Master Shang was also slightly shocked, but he was calm and composed, and quickly came to his senses and grasped the key point.

"Only this one." Yu Hongdou pointed at the blank version of the toy plate.

She didn't want to lie because she would be exposed in the end, but she also didn't want to attract attention, so she was vague at first.

I never thought that Master Shang would point out the solution with just one word. As expected of a teacher, he is good at finding the main idea.

Master Shang opened his mouth and closed it again. Several words of praise flashed through his mind, but he swallowed them back. The child was still young and he couldn't help but be praised, so he had to hold it in.

"This time, I came here to ask Fifth Brother and Master Monk to give these two game disks a name." Yu Hongdou pointed at the game disks in Duan Yuan and Duan Zhuangtou's hands.

"Oh? So the name has been chosen?" Now Master Shang was also curious about how big of a surprise this child would bring to others.

"Yes, this soldier plate is called "Inspecting the Troops on the Battlefield", and this monk plate is called "Shaolin Martial Arts Performance." Yu Hongdou nodded.

She is really satisfied with these two names. They sound majestic. Which kid doesn't want to be the leader?

"What a great name! I'll write about the military review on the battlefield, and teacher, can you write about the Shaolin martial arts performance?" Tan Bailu finally came to his senses, and the first thing he did was to grab a name.

Master Shang glanced at his student and ignored him, still talking to Yu Hongdou: "Is the military selection on the battlefield based on Han Xin's selection of troops for the battlefield?"

Yu Hongdou was confused for a moment, and tried hard to think, isn't "inspecting the troops on the battlefield" an idiom?

Master Shang understood Yu Hongdou's silence at this moment. He was wondering whether this intelligent person was born with knowledge, and at the same time he was thinking about whether he could bring the child to the city to teach him personally.

Teacher Shang had a hunch that this little girl, Yu Hongdou, would have immeasurable achievements in the future, and if he was lucky enough to become her teacher, he would definitely benefit a lot.

However, he knew himself well and knew that his personality and abilities made it difficult for him to teach the talented Yu Hongdou, so he wondered whether he should send a letter to his senior brother.

His naughty old brother will definitely be able to play well with this little girl who is full of creative ideas.

"Hongdou, you see, Fifth Brother is a man of status after all. He can't work in vain, right? You..." Tan Bailu pointed at the hands of Duan Yuan and Duan Zhuangtou, and everything was said without words.

Yu Hongdou was amused and nodded to Tan Bailu: "The Duanzhuangtou and his men came with me from home today. We have sent someone back to the manor to get them. In addition to the two game disks, there are also new soaps."

Grateful that the farm given by Tan Bailu helped her achieve twice the result with half the effort, Yu Hongdou thanked Tan Bailu again with gratitude.

"Thanks to fifth brother for giving this farm to us, Duan Zhuangtou and his men are very useful. I can't say anything else, but if I make anything new in the future, the first one will definitely be given to fifth brother." After saying this, Yu Hongdou bowed to Tan Bailu.

"Well, you are being polite to your brother, right? But I won't be polite to you. We are all family, closer than others. Remember what you said, if there is any good thing, you, the fifth brother, must be the first to get it~"

Tan Bailu was coaxed into smiling widely, and although he was still unforgiving with his words, he honestly reached out his hands to Duan Yuan and Duan Zhuangtou.

Yu Song stood nearby, his gaze changing from bewilderment to surprise, and then from surprise to complacency. Finally, when he saw Tan Bailu smiling with a worthless look, he felt a little sour and muttered to himself that he was the real brother!

Tan Bailu first controlled the military review on the battlefield, personally performed a chorus of swords and knives, recited two sour poems, handed the toy plate to his teacher, and went to play Shaolin martial arts. After dual-line control, he still felt that Shaolin martial arts was more impressive, so he wanted to switch nominations with his teacher.

Master Shang was not picky. He just picked up the toy plate, pulled the string and looked at it for a few seconds, then turned around and told Yu Hongdou some stories about craftsmen that he had seen and heard, and took the opportunity to introduce his senior brother.

"In the past, people only knew Gongshu and Lu Ban, but not the great Mohist masters of the same dynasty. I see that you have a talent for these ingenious things, so why not learn a little more so that you can use them when you sell them in the future."

"Lu Ban once wrote the Lu Ban Book, which describes the art of civil engineering in great detail. The Mohist school's Mohist Classics also has a lot of insights into the theory of engineering mechanics. Combining the two will surely allow us to create more useful and interesting things."

"I have a senior brother who is the best at this. I will write to him later and ask him to send a few books on Mohist doctrines."

When Master Shang mentioned his senior brother, his expression was a little complicated, but he quickly concealed it.

Yu Hongdou was speechless when she saw Master Shang's face that looked like he was trying to sell something. Anyone who could be Master Shang's fellow apprentice should be an academic mentor, even if he was not an academic master.

She just wanted to make a toy. Isn't it a bit exaggerated for the entire Polytechnic Institute to do off-site teaching?

But this was a good thing, and no one would refuse a good thing. Yu Hongdou readily agreed, thanked him solemnly, and took out the gift she had prepared for Master Shang.

"Uncle Shang, this is a kind of chrysanthemum tea that I discovered by accident. I asked my grandfather about it and he said it is golden chrysanthemum, which can clear the mind, improve eyesight and reduce dryness and heat. Please taste it."

Yu Hongdou rummaged in Duan Yuan's backpack again, took out two paper packages, and handed them over with both hands.

"Oh? Just for me?" Master Shang was surprised. He didn't expect that the little girl would prepare a gift just for him.

"Yes, it's my intention. I'm grateful for Uncle Shang's advice and for his hard work in teaching my brother." Yu Hongdou nodded, and just like before, she bowed to Master Shang alone.

"Haha, good, good~" Master Shang was very happy. He had many students and was always honored by people, but today's gift made him the happiest.

"What is it?" Tan Bailu put his hand on the teacher's shoulder and glanced at Yu Hongdou. He had just said that he would be the first to get the new thing, so he gave it to the teacher.

Master Shang slapped Tan Bailu off his shoulder, asked someone to bring tea-making utensils, and carefully opened the paper bag.

The golden chrysanthemums were spread out and flattened, with each flower separated by paper. They looked like pieces of embroidered handkerchiefs, vivid, lively and exquisite.

There were a few words written in small regular script at the bottom corner of the paper. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the medicinal ingredients ratio and efficacy related to scented tea.

"Brilliant!" Before the tea was even brewed, Master Shang praised the ingenuity, which made Tan Bailu feel jealous.

After drinking tea and chatting for nearly an hour, Qian Yi and Qian Er arrived with gifts for Tan Bailu and the three brothers of the Tan family.

Yu Hongdou also took her brother to say goodbye to Monk Tan Bailu and headed to the north city gate to meet up with her second uncle's family.
