Chapter 18 The Art of Sculpting
  The originally noisy back garden became quiet again, and no one seemed to dare to make a sound, so as not to disturb the serious carving people.

Shen Manman sat under the stage, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly.

As a chef, she is naturally good at knife skills. She can carve something without any problem.

But the problem is that it is not appropriate for others to do so, and it will become a laughing stock.

But Shen Yunzhi was different. Normally, everyone commented on her as being uneducated and incompetent. But now that she suddenly showed off her new abilities, everyone would look down on her.

This is indeed not something powerful, but coming from Shen Yunzhi's hand, the meaning is different.

At the very least, when everyone thinks of her in the future, they will think of her ability to sculpt.

Although some people still laugh at her privately, after all, everyone is playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is carving a carrot by herself.

But for Shen Yunzhi, it was enough to cope with this competition.

Shen Yunzhi didn't care what other people thought at this time, she was completely immersed in her own world.

Everyone only saw her turning the dagger rapidly, and they were really curious about her, wanting to see what she could carve.

As time passed by, the old lady at the head felt vaguely sleepy.

Just when she couldn't hold on any longer, Shen Yunzhi finally put away the dagger.

"My little daughter wishes the old lady good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."

Shen Yunzhi smiled and put the carrots on the plate held by the maid.

Seeing this, everyone finally became energetic. Everyone wanted to see what she had carved.

But the carrot is so small that even if you stretch your neck, you can't see it clearly.

"Did Shen Yunzhi carve something casually? The old lady must not be embarrassed by her."

"Yes, what can be carved in such a short time?"

"I think Shen Yunzhi is good at pretending to be a ghost. This time Bao Buqi came up with some tricks to attract King Qi."

"I also think you are right."

"."

Everyone is waiting to see Shen Yunzhi's joke.

Only a few members of the Shen family were a little nervous. Although Zhizhi was used to fooling around, seeing how serious she was just now made them a little bit hopeful, not wanting her to be laughed at.

At this time, the carrot has been presented to the old lady.

The old lady was a little impatient. She didn't think Shen Yunzhi could really carve anything good, but she still had to give Shen Jun some face, and she had already prepared some compliments in her heart.

She glanced casually.

"!!!"

The old lady sat up straight in an instant and took the carrot into her hand.

The grandmothers around me were startled and prepared to step forward to help, but the old lady waved her away.

The old lady stared at the carrot closely.

She was very familiar with the content depicted on it, a picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating their birthdays.

But she had only seen paintings and had never seen such carved birthday greetings.

Although the radish is small, it completely represents the entire painting.

The characters and scenery on it are even more lifelike.

It's addictive.

What if, what if this wasn't a carrot?
  The old lady looked at the carrot in her hand and felt very regretful for a moment.

Such perfect carving, definitely of the level of a master, was wasted on a carrot.

If it were a piece of jade
  The old lady felt very sorry, and it showed on her face unconsciously.

Everyone was paying attention to her reaction, but it suddenly became clear when they saw this.

"Oh, Miss Shen Er has carved some kind of treasure. Come and take a look at it." "Yes, look at the old lady, she can't take her eyes off it."

There were boos all around.

The main reason is that Shen Yunzhi has always been like this and made countless jokes.

It was ridiculous that they almost had expectations for her just now!

"Haha, His Highness Prince Qi, could she have done something to express her love to you again?"

"Today is the old lady's birthday party. Shen Yunzhi shouldn't be able to attend, right?"

"It's true that other people's words don't matter, but Shen Yunzhi's words are hard to say."

The people around him laughed as he spoke.

King Qi's face was dark and smelly at this time, because Shen Yunzhi couldn't count how many times this happened, and he was embarrassed every time.

This time it was at a birthday banquet!

He tried very hard to maintain his demeanor, but he just couldn't smile.

The noise at the scene brought the old lady back to her senses. She touched the carrot in her hand and admired from the bottom of her heart: "I didn't expect that Miss Shen Er has such abilities at such a young age. She is really formidable!"

"There is a piece of jade in my house, but I have never found a suitable carving master. I wonder if Miss Shen Er can give me a favor and help me with this?"

The old lady's eyes towards Shen Yunzhi had changed.

In the Southern Dynasties, master carvers were extremely popular and were often invited to various jade towers for large sums of money.

The people around who were trying to laugh at Shen Yunzhi had their smiles frozen on their faces.

He looked at the carrot in the old lady's hand in disbelief.

If it was just an unintentional compliment, then the old lady would definitely not make such a request.

That means, does Shen Yunzhi really have any skills?
  "It is my little girl's honor to be able to carve for the old lady."

Shen Yunzhi smiled and agreed.

Although this skill is not on the same level as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it at least proves that she is not completely useless.

"Okay, okay, Nanny Li, when the banquet is over, you can personally take Miss Shen Er to sit in my yard for a while."

The old lady was really happy. Then she put the carrots back on the plate and asked the maid to hold them and walk around.

Let those people take a good look, too.

Everyone had been extremely curious for a long time, but now that they saw the carrot being brought out, they all looked at it curiously.

But everyone who didn't believe it at first opened their eyes wide after seeing it.

How on earth could such a small carrot and such a perfect picture be carved so precisely?
  And what she used was not a professional carving knife, just a dagger.

Many people's expressions changed when they looked at Shen Yunzhi. It turned out that he was really capable.

Shen Manman was sitting quite far away with a sullen face. Seeing everyone's reactions, she felt funny in her heart.

These people are so hypocritical!

If it wasn't to please Shen Jun, how could he be so cooperative?

If Shen An was the Minister of Household Affairs, then she wouldn't need to be treated like a monkey by this group of people.

After a while, the carrot was placed in front of her.

Shen Manman glanced sarcastically, and then froze.

She looked carefully in disbelief.

how come?
  She was greatly shocked.

In her previous life, before the apocalypse broke out, she dropped out of school very early and went to learn cooking.

In order to carve those decorations more beautifully, she didn't know how many days and nights she practiced and how many wounds she made.
