Chapter 123: Making Business Cards
"The white ones are a little softer, but still quite strong." Gu Xiaoyou thought for a while and said, "You make more brown ones first, and I'll think about what I can do with the white ones."
"Okay, little man, let's go now." Master Meng responded happily, then turned around to arrange the papermaking affairs.
Gu Xiaoyou followed Master Meng, looked around, and saw that the workers were working in an orderly manner, so he returned to the backyard with two kinds of mulberry paper.
In the backyard.
Gu Xiaoyou took the scissors to cut the brown mulberry paper and made the paper box according to the previous method.
After folding a cardboard box, she used a brush to write the words "Youlian Paper Shop" on it.
"Eh, it's so unclear." Gu Xiaoyou found that brown paper with black text was not so bright and beautiful.
I poked my chin with the pen holder and suddenly thought of something: "Yes, I can write on white paper and stick it on it."
Gu Xiaoyou sighed at his cleverness and wit, and picked up a pen to write on the white mulberry paper.
"It looks good, but it's a bit monotonous. Let's draw a lotus flower." Gu Xiaoyou stroked the pen a few times and began to draw a lotus flower at the bottom of the word.
She concentrated on painting, and after a long while, she drew a lotus flower.
After picking it up and looking at it for a while, Gu Xiaoyou pouted: "Why is my painting so weird? The lotus doesn't seem to look like this."
"What you painted only has a similar shape, but no charm." A cold voice sounded from above the head.
"Oops." Gu Xiaoyou was startled by the sudden sound, patted his chest, and looked at the person with dissatisfaction.
"Don't you make any sound when you walk? Are you a cat?" Gu Xiaoyou complained dissatisfied.
"How dare you talk to the master?" Mr. Wang, who was following Mu Wuchen, scolded him seriously.
Mu Wuchen raised his hand and signaled Mr. Wang to step back: "No problem."
Mr. Wang reluctantly closed his mouth and stood aside respectfully.
Gu Xiaoyou made a face at Mr. Wang and held the painting in his hand: "What do you mean?"
She didn't quite understand what the shape was like or what the charm was.
Mu Wuchen didn't say anything. He took a step forward, picked up the pen on the table, and sketched directly on the paper.
Gu Xiaoyou leaned his head to take a look, and when he saw it, his expression became stunned.
Oh my gosh, I didn’t expect that Mu Wuchen’s painting skills were so high, and he was able to draw a lifelike ink lotus with just a few simple strokes.
"You are so awesome, your painting is so good, it looks like a real lotus." Gu Xiaoyou praised vigorously, looking at Mu Wuchen's face with eyes shining with admiration.
"Is this painting worthy of the words Youlian Paper Shop?" Mu Wuchen put down his pen and looked at Gu Xiaoyou with raised eyebrows.
"It's not just a match, it's a perfect match." Gu Xiaoyou nodded desperately, picked up the mulberry paper with lotus flowers and looked at it again and again.
Mu Wuchen felt extremely happy when he saw Gu Xiaoyou being stunned by the lotus flower from him.
Mr. Wang, who was standing in the corner, couldn't help but raise his chin with a proud look on his face, as if he had painted this painting.
Gu Xiaoyou picked up the pen and carefully wrote the words "Youlian Paper Shop" diagonally above the lotus one stroke at a time.
Looking at the words and lotus flowers, he said reluctantly: "It's so beautiful that I can't bear to post it."
"Post it? Where do you want to paste it?" Mu Wuchen asked slightly confused, aren't calligraphy and paintings usually framed?
How did she use it? It's really weird.
"Isn't this a cardboard box that I made with mulberry paper? The brown writing is not obvious." Gu Xiaoyou showed the box just now to Mu Wuchen.
After looking at it for a few times, Mu Wuchen nodded clearly and motioned for Gu Xiaoyou to continue.
"So I wanted to write on white paper and stick it on the carton, which would be nice and eye-catching."
When Gu Xiaoyou told her her idea, Mu Wuchen instantly understood the purpose of the calligraphy and painting: "It's a good idea."
"I don't care who's idea it is." Gu Xiaoyou raised the corners of her lips proudly: "I'll cut it off and try it out."
As she spoke, Gu Xiaoyou picked up the scissors and carefully cut out her words and Mu Wuchen's paintings on the white mulberry paper.
After she finished cutting, she had a small rectangular piece of paper in her hand. Gu Xiaoyou took the piece of paper and scratched it on the carton. She felt that the piece of paper looked familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, an idea suddenly struck her.
"Yes, I can make it into a business card!" Gu Xiaoyou said suddenly.
"What is a business card?" Mu Wuchen asked curiously.
"It's a card used to introduce yourself. You can write your name, work and other information. For a paper shop, I can write Youlian Paper Shop, write the address at the bottom, and write the business projects of the paper shop on the back.
, This will make it easier for the clerk to introduce it to customers when selling, and also make it easier for customers to find us." Gu Xiaoyou said while writing on the paper.
"Here you go, that's about it." Gu Xiaoyou showed the simple business card to Mu Wuchen.
Mu Wuchen took the business card and looked at it carefully, his eyes flashed with light, and he praised: "It's a good idea, it's interesting."
"Hehe, the courier station can also do it, let me think about it." Gu Xiaoyou dragged his chin and thought for a while, then picked up the pen and started writing on the paper.
Mu Wuchen leaned over to take a look and saw Gu Xiaoyou writing the words "Liangliang Express" and another line of address in a slightly smaller font size.
He blew out the ink and drew a map on the back, marking the town where the courier station would be delivered. Gu Xiaoyou laboriously wrote small characters and drew small pictures. The more Mu Wuchen looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. He found it very interesting.
Gu Xiaoyou scribbled it and cut it into a small rectangle. Without waiting for her to accept her results, she stretched out a big hand from above her head and took the business card directly in her hand.
"This card is a good one, I'll keep it." As he said that, Mu Wuchen received it in his pocket along with the business card from Youlian Paper Shop.
"Hey, this is my sample. I have to follow it later." Gu Xiaoyou pouted and said unhappily: "I managed to write such small characters. You are really overbearing. Let's go.
Just take it away.”
"It's just a few words, why is it difficult?" Mu Wuchen directly picked up the pen and wrote what he just said on the paper without looking at it.
Gu Xiaoyou opened his eyes wide and looked at it for a moment. He didn't expect that Mu Wuchen not only drew beautiful pictures, but also wrote so beautifully.
Mu Wuchen quickly finished writing and threw away the pen: "How was it?"
"That's great. You write so well that I can't bear to use it. Your handwriting is so suitable for collection. I'd better find someone to write it." Gu Xiaoyou held the paper cherished and praised without hesitation.
Mu Wuchen raised the corners of his lips proudly: "I guess you have some vision."
Gu Xiaoyou put away the piece of paper, looked at Mu Wuchen's proud expression, and whispered, "Tsundere."
"What did you say?" Mu Wuchen narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.
