Chapter 181: Gu Xiaoyou who doesn't know the goods
A smile flashed in Gu Xiaoyou's eyes, Miss Wen was quite interesting.
She replied with a greeting card made by her. This was the first time that something she had sent out came back to her so quickly.
Gu Xiaoyou opened the greeting card with a little more interest, and saw Juanxiu's hairpin written in small regular script on the card.
"The calligraphy is so beautiful." Gu Xiaoyou was envious and read the content on the greeting card carefully.
On the greeting card, I wrote an ancient poem about flowers and plants, which Gu Xiaoyou couldn't understand. Then he wrote about his satisfaction with the greeting card and his love for the three-dimensional greeting card. He used many beautiful words to express his appreciation. Finally, he praised the flowers for the beauty and sent them to her.
A few pots of orchids were given to Boss Gu, who had a beautiful orchid heart.
Gu Xiaoyou read it with a crooked eyebrow. Miss Wen is really thoughtful. She prefers sincere greetings and beautiful flowers to rewards of gold, silver and jewelry.
Gu Xiaoyou carefully put away the greeting card and looked at the pots of orchids sent by Miss Wen.
One of the pots is a bit stocky and has large flowers. It has no variegated colors and is very fresh and elegant.
Gu Xiaoyou touched the petals, then looked at another pot, and saw that this pot of orchids had three butterfly-like petals, with red dots on a white background. The butterflies seemed to be flying among the green leaves. They were very pretty.
After admiring the butterfly-like orchids for a while, she looked at the other two pots.
One of the pots has round flower buds that bloom toward the sky like plum blossoms. There are two flowers on it, with red threads on a white background. The flower plant is tall and somewhat like a mini tree, and it looks very majestic and dignified.
Another pot of orchid is shorter than this one. The pink petals are somewhat similar to the appearance of lotus. The petals are closed like dewdrops. They are not fully open yet, but they look elegant. Gu Xiaoyou likes this one the most among the four pots of orchids.
pot.
Just as she was about to reach out to touch its pink petals, she was stopped by a female worker who suddenly appeared next to her.
"Don't touch it," she said seriously.
"Um...what's wrong?" Gu Xiaoyou asked confused, is this flower poisonous?
"Jiang's lotus is very rare, please don't touch it, boss." The female worker said seriously.
"Jiang's Lotus?" Gu Xiaoyou asked in confusion: "Isn't this an orchid? Why is it called Jiang's Lotus?"
A look of helplessness flashed across the female worker's face, and she suppressed her temper and explained: "Jiang's lotus is a type of orchid."
"Oh, that's it. Do they all have names?" Gu Xiaoyou nodded clearly and asked curiously.
The female worker looked in the direction of Gu Xiaoyou's finger, and then she saw the other three pots of orchids. There was a surprised expression on the female worker's face, and her eyes were wide open.
"Gu, Gu, Boss Gu, where did you get the three pots of orchids?" the female worker asked stuttering.
"It was given by a customer, what happened?" Gu Xiaoyou said confused.
"These three pots of orchids are very rare and very precious. They are Tianyi He, Lotus Petal Orchid and Golden Sand Tree Chrysanthemum." The female worker introduced in a low voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing several pots of flowers.
"The names are very nice. You said they are very rare, so they should be quite valuable?" Gu Xiaoyou asked jokingly.
I was thinking about how much a pot of orchids is worth. The most expensive ones sold at the flower, bird and fish market only cost a few hundred yuan.
"They are all valuable, and Tian Yihe is the most valuable." The female worker said with a serious expression.
"Oh, how much does a pot of Yihe cost that day?" Gu Xiaoyou asked casually, casually looking at the orchid that she had just touched its petals.
The female worker looked around and whispered into Gu Xiaoyou's ear: "Two thousand five hundred taels of gold."
"How much!" Gu Xiaoyou asked in surprise, almost doubting his ears.
"Ouch." The female worker stamped her feet and whispered again: "Two thousand five hundred taels of gold."
Gu Xiaoyou heard it clearly this time, pointed at Tian Yihe in surprise, and stammered: "Two, two, more than a thousand taels of gold?"
"Yes." The female worker nodded cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other female workers were busy with their work and didn't notice them.
Gu Xiaoyou got the affirmative answer, looked at the orchid, and then at the fingers touching the petals.
Did she just have a close encounter with two thousand five hundred taels of gold?
Gu Xiaoyou calmed down from his surprise for a long time before recovering and asked softly: "How do you know so much?"
"To tell you the truth, my husband-in-law is a gardener and has made a living growing flowers for generations, so I recognize these orchids," the female worker explained.
"I see." Gu Xiaoyou nodded clearly: "Then where do you think it would be better for me to put the orchids?"
The female worker stepped forward and gently touched the flower soil, carefully examined the leaves and replied: "Orchids like shade, so the backyard of the store is very suitable for growing orchids."
"Okay, then I'll move it to the backyard." Gu Xiaoyou stepped forward and carefully moved the orchid.
The female worker came forward to help and quickly moved the four pots of orchids to the backyard. Then, according to the female worker's instructions, she found a shady place to place the orchids.
After placing the four pots of orchids, Gu Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't expect Miss Wen to be so generous.
This orchid is actually more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry.
Asking the female worker to take more care of her, Gu Xiaoyou put the orchids down for the time being. Instead, she paid more attention to the paper-cut greeting cards. The rewards she could get from doing a good job well were beyond her imagination.
Gu Xiaoyou spent more energy on teaching window decorations. There were more patterns in the shop, and the paper-cut walls and shelves were gradually filled up.
The autumn sunshine shines through the window into the room in the backyard and shines on the people who are cutting paper with their heads down.
The shop has been relocated, Gu Xiaoyou is teaching in the backyard, and three smart maids have been hired to look after the front hall.
"Today's pattern is a bit difficult. I'm not skilled enough in cutting, but I've memorized the textures. Now I'll draw the textures on the rice paper. You can just trace them onto the paper and follow the textures when cutting."
As he spoke, Gu Xiaoyou traced the pattern of the window grilles on the large rice paper on the wall.
Just in the middle of painting, the little maid who was looking after the shop knocked on the door and said loudly: "Boss Gu, there are many customers in front of me who are here to ask for greeting cards. There are some questions that I can't answer..."
"Oh, okay, please ask them to wait for a moment, I will come right away." Gu Xiaoyou responded, speeding up the drawing movements.
After drawing the pattern, Gu Xiaoyou warned: "Draw this pattern on paper and practice first."
"Yes." The female workers responded, and they all picked up their pens to trace the patterns on the rice paper.
Gu Xiaoyou told the eldest female worker to take more care of her, and then walked to the front hall of the store.
As soon as she entered the shop, everyone in the shop looked at her. Being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Gu Xiaoyou paused before opening the door. Did she enter the wrong shop?
Seeing the familiar window grille wall, I immediately felt at ease.
