Chapter 184: Youlian Paper Art Workshop officially opened
The tall female worker hung up one side and quickly moved the ladder to hang up the other side, moving quickly and swiftly.
They work more neatly than many of the clerks in Gu Xiaoyou's shop.
"Boss, is there anything else you need me to do?" the tall female worker asked.
"No, everyone, please stand in front of the store." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.
The female workers immediately went to stand in front of the store. People who came to work in other stores saw a group of people gathered in front of the store and came over curiously to watch. Pedestrians who had gotten up early to go out on the street also gathered around.
Gu Xiaoyou told the maid to stand under the firecrackers with the fire crackers. As soon as she reached out to reach for the red silk, a group of people gathered around the door.
When she picked up the red silk and turned around, she was immediately startled by the number of people watching.
Why did so many people come in such a blink of an eye?
Gu Xiaoyou was a little nervous because of the onlookers, but fortunately the people standing in front of her were all familiar faces, so she calmed down immediately.
Clearing her throat, Gu Xiaoyou said loudly: "Hello everyone, today is the opening day of the seventh store on Anyang Street in Lutan."
After finishing speaking, he pulled the red silk and the exquisite plaque was immediately revealed.
I saw the five characters "Youlian Paper Art Workshop" engraved on the black wood. The fonts were clear and elegant. Gu Xiaoyou learned it after practicing for several days with copybooks on the Internet.
At the same time as the plaque was opened, the maid immediately lit the firecrackers with a fire stick.
A burst of lively crackling firecrackers symbolized the official opening of Youlian Paper Art Workshop.
Gu Xiaoyou had a joyful smile on his face: "As you can see, our paper art shop sells paper-cuts, and you can choose from various exquisite paper-cuts..."
As she introduced, a clever female worker brought out some prepared window grilles from the backyard and stood behind Gu Xiaoyou to show them. Seeing this, other female workers stepped forward one after another, each holding a window grill and displaying it in front of her.
.
Gu Xiaoyou's eyes flashed with appreciation, the female worker she hired was quite good at getting things done.
"This is a paper-cut of a forest garden scene. It can be pasted on the window or screen." Gu Xiaoyou pointed to one of the paper-cuts and introduced.
Then, she turned sideways and introduced another one: "This one is the word "Fu" and can be posted at the door. It means to attract good fortune."
Both the clerks from other stores and the passers-by who came to hang out were attracted by the paper-cuttings in the hands of the female workers, and they all came closer to watch.
While they watched, they listened to Gu Xiaoyou's introduction in a crisp voice.
My eyes moved unconsciously along with her gestures. Every pattern was so beautiful that I felt like my eyes were not enough.
"The patterns in the garden are so beautiful. They are even more beautiful than the houses I have seen below."
"The patterns in the bamboo forest are beautiful, they are both elegant and the noble charm of the bamboos is there."
"I like the words recruiting Ginafu. It will look great when posted on the door."
"I really like the paper-cut with the word "happy" in it. The lively meaning is also auspicious."
Everyone started chattering and discussing, and the female workers had happy smiles on their faces as they listened to their praises.
Gu Xiaoyou took the opportunity to ask the maid to take out some greeting cards and promoted: "In addition to selling paper-cutting, our store also sells paper-cut greeting cards and three-dimensional greeting cards. It supports the customization of blank cards and batch writing..."
The maids imitated the female workers, holding a greeting card in one hand and holding it up in front of them to show it to everyone.
Some people were curious about the greeting card Gu Xiaoyou was talking about. They went over to look at it and saw that the maid was holding a card with a paper-cut pattern as the cover.
"In addition to the novel styles of our greeting cards, we also provide writing templates. This is the template for our store's own use." Gu Xiaoyou showed the invitation cards from Youlian Paper Shop to everyone.
Several passers-by were interested in this and asked, "The content on this greeting card is quite interesting. Is there any other text?"
"Yes!" Gu Xiaoyou said loudly: "When giving gifts, you can attach a greeting card to the gift. For example, when giving gifts during the New Year, you can write on the greeting card that I wish you smooth sailing, two dragons soaring, three Yangs prospering, peace all seasons, and five blessings.
Immediately, six or six fortunes will come, seven stars will shine brightly, wealth will come from all directions, ninety-nine will be of the same mind, everything will be perfect!"
Gu Xiaoyou opened his mouth to send text messages like this to everyone for New Year greetings.
After all, you can receive a lot of these copy-and-paste text messages on your mobile phone during the New Year and holidays.
But this was the first time for ancient people to hear such fresh blessings, and they were stunned by Gu Xiaoyou's long list of fluent idioms.
It took me a while to come back to my senses, but I didn’t expect that gift-giving could be so creative. Several passers-by clapped their hands with great interest: “One more, one more!”
"There are templates of blessing words in the paper art workshop. If you are interested, you can go to the store to have a look." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.
Some interested people immediately squeezed out of the crowd and walked toward the store.
The maid immediately followed with a wink, opened the door before the customer entered, bowed and said: "Welcome, please come inside."
Gu Xiaoyou continued to explain the window grilles and greeting cards, and a few more interested onlookers entered the store.
She asked the other two maids to follow them to serve. Gu Xiaoyou did not follow. During this period, she trained several maids. Now is a good time to train their abilities.
Pedestrians continued to appear at the door one after another. Gu Xiaoyou and the female workers continued to introduce window grilles and greeting cards. They were busy all morning and returned to the backyard to rest during lunch break.
The day passed like this, and the store closed in the evening. Neither the maids nor the female workers were in a hurry to go home. Instead, they gathered around the counter and watched Gu Xiaoyou counting today's orders.
"One order for greeting cards, two orders for greeting cards...four orders for window grilles...a total of twenty-five orders for greeting cards and six orders for paper-cutting." Gu Xiaoyou checked it twice carefully and said to everyone.
Everyone was very happy to hear that there were more than 20 orders for greeting cards, but they were a little disappointed when the order for paper-cutting was less than 10.
“It took only a fraction of the paper cutting to catch up with the greeting card order.”
"Yes, the paper cuttings are so beautiful. They are much more difficult than greeting cards."
"Is it because our paper-cuttings are not pretty enough?"
The female workers talked a lot and felt a little discouraged.
"Quiet, everyone listen to me." Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Gu Xiaoyou said quickly.
Gu Xiaoyou said this three or four times before the female workers gradually calmed down and looked at Gu Xiaoyou seriously.
After taking a sip of tea, Gu Xiaoyou encouraged: "It was like this on the first day. Besides, our paper-cuttings were only placed on the wall. They don't know how beautiful window grilles and door stickers can be, so
Woolen cloth……"
Gu Xiaoyou turned around, took out a few pairs of window grilles from the shelf, and said to the female workers: "Let's put these beautiful window grilles and door stickers on all the shops in our street, so that they can see the charm of paper-cutting.
Chapter completed!
