Chapter 93: Real “Hand-in-Hand” Teaching!
Seeing this scene, Lin Ye was also dumbfounded.
He was supposed to be sharing knowledge, so why were the Beast-eared Girls all looking at the Deer-horned Girl?
At this moment, Susu, who was standing beside him, spoke, resolving Lin Ye’s confusion.
“Lulu? Isn’t Lulu your name?” Susu asked, looking at the Deer-horned Girl curiously.
Upon hearing Susu’s words, Lin Ye finally understood.
So that’s how it was.
The Deer-horned Girl with the plum blossom birthmark on her forehead, although very shy, proudly raised her head to look at everyone.
Lin Ye quickly spoke up to explain, “This pulley and that Lulu are not the same thing, everyone, please don’t misunderstand.” Hearing Lin Ye’s words, everyone turned their heads back to look at Lin Ye.
Lulu also looked over, glanced at Lin Ye, and then smiled as she said, “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”
Lin Ye looked at the Deer-horned Girl, who, though clearly a little wronged, still proudly held her head high with a hint of petulance.
He didn’t expect such a coincidence.
Lin Ye thought for a moment, then beckoned to Lulu and said, “Lulu, why don’t you try this pulley, which happens to have the same name as you, first.”
Lin Ye quickly used the excuse of having Lulu experience using the pulley to draw water to divert the attention of the Beast-eared Girls.
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Lulu was stunned for a moment, then a happy smile instantly appeared on her face.
Although very happy, Lulu still walked gracefully towards Lin Ye. “How… how do you use this thing?”
After Lulu walked over, she looked at the pulley mechanism with a confused expression again, and finally looked to Lin Ye for help.
Lin Ye smiled, then reached out and grabbed the handle of the pulley, and said to Lulu, “Hold this handle with both hands, and turn it with me.” Lulu obediently placed her hands on the handle.
Lin Ye turned it with force.
But he found that Lulu seemed a little nervous and hadn’t quite understood how Lin Ye was turning it.
So Lin Ye walked to Lulu’s side, held Lulu’s hands that were on the handle,
And then turned it together with her.
When Lulu’s hands were held by Lin Ye, both of her hands trembled slightly.
Lin Ye could feel Lulu’s hands become stiff the moment he held them.
Lin Ye turned to look at Lulu and then gave her a gentle smile.
Upon seeing this, two red blushes appeared on Lulu’s face again.
However, with this, her hands were not so stiff anymore. “Okay, move with my hands.]”
Lin Ye felt that Lulu’s small hands in his were no longer so tense and reminded her,
Then Lin Ye guided Lulu’s hands and started shaking it.
Slowly, Lulu finally found the knack, and Lin Ye gradually let go of his hands.
Lulu could now operate the mechanism herself, and finally, the wooden bucket was lifted up.
Lin Ye caught the bucket behind him, handed it to Lulu for a look, and then said, “See, just turn that handle like this, and you can pull the bucket up.”
Lulu looked at the water she had drawn with surprise, and then looked at the handle in her hand in disbelief.
The other Beast-eared Girls looked at the wooden bucket in Lin Ye’s hand and let out sounds of exclamation. “It really works, just a few shakes and the bucket comes up.” “It’s so magical, is this really not witchcraft?” “Wow, Ye is holding Lulu’s hand.”
“Ye, can you teach me like that later too, hehehe.”
Lin Ye poured the water back into the well, then threw the bucket down again, and said to Lulu, “Alright, Lulu, you can let go now.” “Oh, oh!”
Lulu, still in shock, suddenly heard Lin Ye’s words. She responded twice in a flustered manner and then let go of the handle.
As soon as the handle was released, the bucket plummeted downwards, and the handle spun rapidly a few times.
Then Lin Ye said to Lulu,
“You’ll be responsible for teaching everyone how to use this pulley here. Make sure everyone learns it. Once everyone has learned, remember to cover the well opening with that bamboo tube.” “I’m going to bake the pottery, and after everyone has learned, I’ll start a fire and prepare to eat roasted potatoes.”
Seeing Lin Ye holding Lulu’s hand and teaching her how to use the pulley “hand-in-hand,” the other Beast-eared Girls couldn’t help but wish that Lin Ye would teach them the same way later.
But upon hearing that Lin Ye wanted Lulu to teach everyone, they couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
However, upon hearing that Lin Ye was also going to bake pottery, they all remembered the pottery bowls and spoons they had just made, and their eyes lit up with excitement again.
Moreover, after learning how to use it, they would be eating roasted potatoes tonight.
The Beast-eared Girls’ mood instantly became sunny and bright, and their faces showed expressions of anticipation.
After Lin Ye finished speaking, he smiled at everyone and then set off to bake pottery.
The Beast-eared Girls immediately began taking turns one by one to learn how to use the pulley mechanism.
Lin Ye arrived at the pottery kiln. The clay drafts had already dried. Lin Ye placed all the clay drafts into the pottery kiln, started a fire, and began baking.
After the last piece of firewood was added, Lin Ye clapped his hands and left the pottery kiln.
All he had to do was wait for the firewood to burn out and the flames to extinguish on their own.
Lin Ye glanced at the sky. Night was about to fall, and the moon was already hanging in the sky.
Lin Ye estimated that it would be tomorrow before he could take out all the pottery from the kiln.
After washing his hands, Lin Ye walked towards the open space.
All the Beast-eared Girls had already learned how to use the pulley mechanism.
After all, it only took a few shakes to operate it, so everyone learned very quickly. They could even do it after watching a few times, and they had only just experienced it.
Several bonfires had already been lit in the open space, and the Beast-eared Girls were all waiting for Lin Ye’s arrival with great anticipation.
The washed potatoes were placed beside Shi. Everyone was excitedly discussing the patterns on their pottery bowls and what the potatoes would taste like later.
Upon seeing Lin Ye’s figure, the Beast-eared Girls all looked at him with expectant eyes.
Sakura impatiently stood up from the ground, ran to Lin Ye’s side, and said,
“Ye, Ye, have our pottery bowls been fired yet? Can we start roasting potatoes?” The other Beast-eared Girls also looked over excitedly, their eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Ye smiled, reached out and patted Sakura’s head, then nodded to all the Beast-eared Girls. “Yay~!”
“Potato time!!!”
The Beast-eared Girls erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
Lin Ye noticed that it seemed like when it came to food, the Beast-eared Girls would become particularly happy.
Walking to the bonfires, Lin Ye said mysteriously to the Beast-eared Girls, “Today I’ll teach you a new way to roast things.”
After Lin Ye finished speaking, the Beast-eared Girls let out a gasp of surprise, and then various questions followed one after another. “Wow, what method is it, Ye?”
“Are there many ways to roast things?”
“Ye, is it that method you’re going to use to roast potatoes?”
Only Shi among all the Beast-eared Girls asked a meaningful question. Lin Ye smiled and nodded, then said,
“Yes, it’s that method we’ll use to roast potatoes.”
“Sakura, go behind the tent (Li Qian Zhao) and pick some of those big leaves.”
Upon hearing this, Sakura immediately scrambled towards the back of the tent, almost falling due to her haste.
Then Lin Ye picked up a branch from the side and began digging pits in the ground next to the bonfire.
While digging, he said to the Beast-eared Girls,
“Dig a few pits next to those bonfires too. They don’t need to be too deep, just about the same as the traps we dug before.” Hearing Lin Ye say this, the Beast-eared Girls immediately grabbed wooden sticks and ran to the bonfires to start digging.
Digging pits was a skill the Beast-eared Girls were very familiar with.
The Beast-eared Girls had dug at least hundreds of traps.
After the pits were dug, Sakura also returned with those large leaves.
Because she had been running all the way, Sakura was panting, and her two cat ears bobbed up and down with her breathing. Lin Ye couldn’t help but reach out and stroke Sakura’s ears.
Then Lin Ye handed some of the leaves to the Beast-eared Girls and began to demonstrate how to do it. “First, lay a layer of leaves at the bottom of the pit, then.”
Lin Ye paused here, looked around, and then said to Shi, “Shi, bring the potatoes over.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Shi quickly picked up a few potatoes and brought them over.
