Chapter 1643
Zoe’s eyes gleamed haughtily.
The village chief took her cue and politely unwrapped the gift. In the next second...
A delicately woven handmade basket was revealed.
The basket was made of distinct red and blue-colored bamboo. It was not a traditional basket, however; Zoe crafted the basket from a smaller bottom to a bigger top. I looked like a dainty vase with an exquisite shape.
On the surface of the basket were some flowers sculpted using bamboo. They looked very much alive like actual flowers.
Most astonishing of all was the two words carved onto the basket’s outer layer that read, [Happy Birthday.]
Everyone was amazed at the sight, and praises began to chorus among the crowd.
"Gosh! You made this beautiful flower basket, and by hand?” "So pretty! You're very talented, Zoe. You truly are the goddess of our Mount Village!" "How delicate! This basket can even make it to the museum." "This handcraft is perfect, Zoe. Your craft can apply to become a national heritage art!" "You're the pride of our village!"
There were only ten or so of them originally, but the basket attracted a bigger crowd.
They all gasped at the sight of this beautiful flower basket, and the prideful Zoe crossed her arms at her chest, enjoying everyone’s praise-filled words for her.
She regained her status, just like that. 1
The village chief adored her gift, happily thanking, "Thank you, Zoe. You’re too kind." "You’re welcome,” said Zoe humbly. "It's nothing. It's something simple."
In other words, if she made it seriously, it would even be better.
Everyone gasped and looked at Zoe with admiration.
Feeling their eyes on her, Zoe arched her chin proudly and looked at Charmine opposite her.
