Xiong Bo had a guess in his mind. He had heard from Fang Laoxian these past few days that the little fairy Ya Ya had gone to the immortal realm to ask for a large bucket to hold water. Now that three days had passed, even the most difficult bucket to make should be able to be brought down by now, right?

He instinctively stretched his neck forward, his eyes filled with anticipation.

I wonder what the giant water bucket in the celestial realm looks like.

Is it a huge wooden barrel made from wood from the celestial realm? A single tree from the celestial realm must be as tall as ten trees from the mountains, right?

Or is it one of those big barrels made of a material called "plastic" that I've seen in villages before? Or is it made of a metal called stainless steel, like a thermos?

Wait, something's not right?

Xiong Bo rubbed his eyes. The little fairy has changed her clothes!

This pink color is so pretty! The hood at the back is pointed, and the fabric even looks shiny!

The fabrics in the celestial realm are so beautiful!

Fang Tiesheng subconsciously took a few steps forward to greet her: "Nannan, what did you bring? Is there any news from Boss Zhao about the big water container? Is this a new outfit for you? It looks a bit thin, aren't you cold?"

To everyone's surprise, Ya Ya simply nodded at Fang Tiesheng, then brushed past him and headed straight for Gou Ya, who was standing at the bottom of the ladder. "Sister Gou Ya, come here, I have something important to tell you!" she said, pulling her phone out of her pocket and clutching it tightly.

Fang Tiesheng stood there dumbfounded. Usually, Nannan would come to him first and ask him anything. He was always the first one to ask!

Now, she simply nodded lightly and brushed past him.

Gou Ya was also taken aback, seeing the pink little dumpling rush straight to her without even acknowledging Grandpa Fang, she felt somewhat flattered. She quickly and carefully put the screws, rubber rings, and other accessories she was holding aside, and followed Ya Ya to the open space on the side: "Ya Ya, is there anything you need me to do? I'll go do it now."

Ya Ya leaned close to Gou Ya's ear and excitedly said, "Gou Ya, great news! He Miao said that all the hats you and Xing Hua made have sold out! Not a single one left!"

"Really? They're all sold out? Oh my god?!" Xinghua came out of the bathroom, still holding a broom in her hand.

"Really! All of your hats have been sold! All of them! Sister He Miao only said she sold four before, but when I went over this morning, she said they were all sold, and she even gave me two thousand yuan!"

He Miao's sister said, "Some buyers haven't paid yet. We'll split the money carefully once we receive the rest of the payments. The first two thousand I've paid..."

two thousand?

Gou Ya's eyes widened suddenly, she froze on the spot, her mind buzzing.

In her mind, two thousand was an enormous sum of silver. Although it couldn't be compared to silver, it was still at least several hundred taels of silver! Five taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to live on for a year. She and Xinghua had earned several hundred taels in one go?

Just because of that tiny little hat?

These little straw woven items are actually so valuable?

Xinghua was also stunned. She and Gouya stared at each other, wondering how they could earn so much.

Before the two of them could catch their breath, Ya Ya held up her phone again, "There's another custom order, Sister Gou Ya, come and see, look at the phone."

Ya Ya opened the photo and showed the reference picture to her two older sisters first.

Gouya and Xinghua went over.

Every time they looked closely at the black box in Nannan's hand, they couldn't help but marvel at how amazing this thing called a mobile phone was. It could turn people and objects into pictures and store them inside. Even more amazing was that the people inside could move, as if they had grabbed people and stuffed them in.

After seeing the picture on Ya Ya's phone, the two of them were a little unsure whether it was a... hat?

It looks like a moldy bran cake.

Seeing that her two older sisters had already seen the pictures, Ya Ya swiped her little hands across the screen a few times and brought up the notes app: "Sister He Miao said that besides the reference picture, there was another sentence saying that feathers and beads should be added on top..."

Ya Ya was silent for a few seconds, and didn't recognize many of the words after that.

"Grandpa Fang, could you come here for a moment?"

Fang Tiesheng coughed, his earlier disappointment vanishing, and walked over with his head held high.

He knew that his daughter needed him.

"Grandpa Fang, could you please read these words for Sister Gouya? I don't recognize some of them. These are the guest's requests that Sister He Miao copied down."

"Okay." Fang Tiesheng took the phone, gently pushed up his reading glasses, and read out the notes and requirements in the phone to the two girls clearly, word by word.

After listening, Gou Ya had a general idea, but thinking about the moldy flatbread she had just seen, her concept of this flatbread seemed completely unrelated to it...

She was momentarily at a loss, and after thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "The picture and the words look completely different. I'm not sure how to combine them. What if it doesn't meet the customer's expectations?"

Xinghua nodded in agreement, resting her chin on her hand: "It really is difficult."

"How about this, I'm willing to take this order, but I'm afraid I'm not sure what the hat should look like. I'll draw a picture later, Nannan, take the picture to Fairy Sister He Miao and ask her to show it to the customer. If the customer approves, I'll start knitting according to the picture, okay?"

Fang Tiesheng nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's good, that's good."

"That makes sense. Most customers only have a vague idea in their minds, and they can't describe it clearly enough in words or writing. The customers' drawing skills also vary. When we make custom items, we have to combine the information the customer conveys with a drawing of what the customer wants in their mind. We have to check both sides to make sure there are no errors before we start working, so as to reduce the chance of mistakes."

"Gou Ya, can you paint?"

Gou Ya blushed slightly: "Not really, Master Xiong, do you know how?"

Xiong Bo had already climbed down the ladder and was listening intently from the side.

Hearing Gou Ya ask him, he happily came over and said, "I'm good at this. I used to make things for important people. Sometimes I didn't even need to say a few words, let alone provide a reference drawing."

Gou Ya, Xing Hua, and Fang Tiesheng's eyes lit up simultaneously.

Fang Tiesheng patted Gou Ya on the shoulder: "Gou Ya, learn well from Brother Xiong. If you can handle this job, there will be many more to come."

Gou Ya blushed and bowed to Xiong Bo: "Master Xiong, thank you for your trouble."

"Hey, it's no big deal."

Xiong Bo waved his hand dismissively, staring at his phone for a while, resisting the urge to take it and open it. He rubbed his hands together and asked, "Little Fairy Ya Ya, has anything been decided about that... that water container?"

"Yes, I brought it back. Grandma Duck even filled it with water for me. It's a huge bucket. I'm not even as tall as the bucket when I'm standing on a chair." Ya Ya stood on tiptoe and gestured to show the height of the water bucket.

"Where is it? Is it in the mustard seed space? Quickly bring it out! I'll make sure everyone can use this bathroom today!"

"It's very big and heavy. Uncle Bear, tell me where to put it, and I'll just put it there." Ya Ya glanced silently at the water tank that took up a lot of space in the room.

"Put it here, on the platform, closer to the roof, next to this frame with the round barrel on top." Xiong Bo, afraid that Ya Ya wouldn't know the exact location, scurried up the cement platform and stood next to his half-finished solar water heater, pointing to the empty space.

Ya Ya squinted and looked at it, then put it down.

"Then I'll let it pass!" With that thought, a huge silver stainless steel water tank suddenly appeared next to Xiong Bo.

Xiong Bo suddenly jumped back, exclaiming, "My goodness, it's so big!"
