The other people in the backyard looked at each other. Why did these two people become so mysterious overnight?

Although they were curious, they still had work to do, so they had to return to their respective posts and continue writing books.

Gu Xiaoyou didn't know what happened in the backyard and continued to read books in the book club.

The sun is gradually rising, there are more and more pedestrians on the street, and customers are gradually entering the bookstore.

In front of the bookshelf, Gu Xiaoyou was reading a travel journal, and a young lady and a maid sat beside her.

The maid had been fiddling with something. Gu Xiaoyou frowned and moved to the side. She originally had no idea about the arrival of the two people, but gradually their conversation attracted her attention.

"Miss, do you think it's okay to wrap the book like this?" the maid asked softly.

The lady next to me did not reply immediately, but pondered for a moment and said: "The flower is in the wrong position, go a little further down."

"Yes." The maid started to fiddle with it again.

After a while, she asked her young lady softly: "Is this okay, young lady?"

There was a sound of rubbing sleeves and the table, and the lady might have reached for the book. After a moment, the lady said dissatisfiedly: "It's too loose, and it fell apart before I even took a stick of incense."

"This... slave, please think of a way." The maid said in fear.

Hearing some hurried sounds, Gu Xiaoyou couldn't help but look to the side with curiosity.

I saw a little maid holding a bright red handkerchief to wrap up the book. The handkerchief was silky and smooth. The little maid wrapped this and the other end, sweating all over her forehead.

Her young lady pouted and looked anxiously at the little maid wrapping up her books.

Gu Xiaoyou said funnyly: "How can anyone wrap a book in handkerchief?"

"The kraft paper is too ugly, I don't like it." The lady glanced at Gu Xiaoyou and said proudly.

"Then wrap it in colored paper." Gu Xiaoyou said smoothly.

"Colored paper?" the lady asked with interest: "Do you know where I can get colored paper for wrapping books? The only colored paper I have at home is too small to wrap the books."

"I have colored paper, just wait." Gu Xiaoyou said, got up and walked towards the backyard, passed through several yards, and quickly took some large uncut pieces of colored paper from the colored paper workshop.

I picked out the watery red ones and brought them back.

Gu Xiaoyou put the colored paper on the table: "Here, take it to wrap the book."

"Thank you." The young lady's eyes lit up when she saw the colored paper, she thanked her happily, turned to the maid and urged: "Why don't you wrap up the book for me now?"

"Yes, miss." The maid responded and took the colored paper to wrap the book. Unexpectedly, the colored paper was too big and the book was too small. The maid suddenly felt at a loss.

Gu Xiaoyou couldn't stand the maid's clueless actions and took the colored paper and book over: "I'll do it. You go to the counter and ask for some scissors."

The maid glanced at the young lady and saw that her young lady had no objection, so she immediately ran to the counter and brought back a pair of scissors.

"The scissors are here for you."

"Put it on the table." Gu Xiaoyou said without raising his head. He put the book on the colored paper and measured it to estimate the size. He folded the colored paper in half and cut it with scissors.

Then place the book in the center of the cut colored paper, fold the colored paper along the side of the book, and use your fingers to press marks on the colored paper along the edge of the book. After pressing both sides, spread out the colored paper and place it on the side of the book.

Use scissors to cut two diagonal lines on both sides of the trace.

Fold the colored paper along the diagonal line, and then fold the colored paper according to the creases on the colored paper. It is best to put the book into the folded colored paper, and a book cover will be successfully made.

"General, general." Gu Xiaoyou voiced his own voice and raised his eyebrows: "The book is wrapped, how about it?"

"It's so beautiful." The young lady picked up the book with a bright red cover and looked at it from left to right. She liked it very much.

"If you like flowers, you can use pen and ink to draw on them." Gu Xiaoyou said casually.

"Well, that's a good idea." The young lady smiled with a crooked eyebrow.

While the two were talking, their movements attracted the attention of other customers in the store. Gu Xiaoyou's movements of wrapping book covers were fast and deft. They couldn't help but watch the whole process, and now they started to whisper when they saw the finished product.

"It turns out that book covers can still be wrapped like this. I always glue them on with glue."

"The water-red book cover is so beautiful, much more eye-catching than the indigo book."

"This book cover is wonderful..."

The customers discussed in a low voice, and the lady who had a new book cover looked a little better. She picked up the book with satisfaction: "Miss, I want this book. Please bring the remaining colored paper."

"Yes, miss." The maid responded and put away the colored paper on the table.

The lady smiled at Gu Xiaoyou: "Thank you. You did a good job. I will reward you with something."

"No need, just buy a few more books." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll pick a few more books." The lady smiled and walked to the bookshelf to choose books.

The customers' eyes were still focused on the book cover. The lady holding the book couldn't help but straighten her waist even more. She selected a few books with an arrogant expression. When she went to the counter to check out, she put the red book on the top.

, he boldly gave two ingots of patterned silver to the clerk, and walked away with the book satisfied, with the maid following behind with colored paper.

As soon as the lady left, several female customers couldn't sit still and gathered around Gu Xiaoyou, asking softly: "Is there any more colored paper?"

"I also want to wrap it in a book cover."

"Can I ask you to help me wrap the books?"

Facing the eager and expectant eyes of the girls, Gu Xiaoyou touched her nose and said, "I'll go to the backyard and take a look, and I'll try my best to cover you all with books."

"Thank you." The girls became happy and urged happily: "Then go quickly."

"Uh, okay." Gu Xiaoyou stood up helplessly and walked towards the backyard under the expectant eyes of the girls.

Not long after, Gu Xiaoyou came back with a few pieces of colored paper. As soon as he entered the bookstore, he was surrounded by girls and sat down at the table.

"Please help me pack a water-red one."

"I want the aqua color."

"As long as it's made of colored paper, I won't choose."

The girls enthusiastically handed the books to Gu Xiaoyou, and Gu Xiaoyou waved her hands: "You guys come one by one."

"I'll be the first in line." One girl said smartly and quickly stood in front of the table. The other girls saw this and followed in line.

Seeing that there were many people in line, Gu Xiaoyou rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "Let me make it clear first, a book cover costs ten cents. If you don't want to spend your wallet, just quit the queue."

"I'm willing to spend my wallet to get an aqua one." The first girl said positively.

"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou took out a piece of aqua paper from the colored paper and quickly wrapped the book cover.

"Okay, next one." Gu Xiaoyou handed the book to the girl and said without raising her head.
