Zhixia happily finished the food on the plate and licked the corner of her mouth with unfinished content.

When she woke up from the magic of delicious food, she realized that she had been so busy eating that she had completely forgotten about her young lady.

Zhixia raised her eyes in panic and found that she and Gu Xiaoyou were the only ones left in the restaurant.

And her young lady was mentioning what was drawn on the paper.

Zhixia swallowed her saliva and said nervously: "Miss, slave..."

Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyes and looked at Zhixia: "Have you finished eating? Is it delicious?"

"It's very delicious." Zhixia said shyly, "I'm sorry, I forgot the rules."

"There are so many rules. Just take the plate back to the kitchen after eating." Gu Xiaoyou ordered, lowering his eyes and continuing to draw on the paper.

"Yes, slave girl, go right away." Seeing that Gu Xiaoyou didn't blame her, Zhixia instantly let go of her uneasy heart and hurriedly cleared the plates.

After sending the dishes back to the kitchen, Zhixia wiped the dining table clean with a rag, and then swept the floor after wiping the dining table.

If Mrs. Zhou hadn't come back after sending Liang'er to stop her, Zhixia might have had to clean the entire courtyard.

Zhixia put the broom back in its place and waited behind Gu Xiaoyou honestly.

After about a cup of tea, Gu Xiaoyou put down the brush in his hand, and Zhixia immediately stepped forward to serve him.

"This is a trick for you." Gu Xiaoyou blew on the ink and said to Zhixia.

Zhixia immediately leaned over and looked at the patterns on the rice paper with bright eyes.

"These two are easy, these two are medium-difficulty, and this one is the most difficult. You practice according to the difficulty level. The origami method is to fold it into a triangle." Gu Xiaoyou folded the paper on each piece of paper.

The tricks were explained to Zhixia in detail.

"My slave, I understand." Zhixia listened carefully and looked at Gu Xiaoyou's careful note on the paper "Easy but difficult", and was touched by Gu Xiaoyou's thoughtfulness.

"Practice well, but be careful to protect your eyesight."

"Sight..." Zhixia tilted her head in confusion.

"Keep a distance of half an arm's width between your eyes, hands and paper. Remember to take a break every half an hour and look into the distance." Gu Xiaoyou warned in a nurse's tone.

Thinking that Zhixia was a girl who stayed up late reading novels, Gu Xiaoyou immediately said with a serious face: "This is an order. If you don't obey, I won't teach you."

"Yes, I have written it down, and I will definitely obey your order." Zhixia responded fearfully.

Gu Xiaoyou was now satisfied. Fortunately, this girl was obedient.

"Okay, you can practice at home." Gu Xiaoyou stood up with satisfaction and walked out.

Zhixia carefully put the patterned paper into her sleeves, rushed in front of Gu Xiaoyou, pushed the door open, held an umbrella and said, "I'll see you off, my servant."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou held up the hem of her skirt, and Zhixia held an umbrella to escort her out of the hospital. Mrs. Zhou followed behind holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Gu Xiaoyou said as he walked: "There is colored paper in the first drawer of the desk in my room. You can use the colored paper to practice."

"Yes, I understand." Zhixia responded obediently.

While talking, the three people walked to the door. Zhixia put Gu Xiaoyou on the carriage, watched the carriage go away, and then turned back to the house.

On the carriage, Zhou asked curiously: "Are you going to learn paper-cutting from Jizhixia?"

"Yes, I'm telling you, I discovered a genius who is a paper-cutting genius." Gu Xiaoyou put away the face in front of Zhi Xia and said with a bright smile.

"Zhi Xia can actually remember the pattern in one go, draw it accurately, and cut the paper with detail, which is better than the female workers I have worked with." Gu Xiaoyou vividly told Mrs. Zhou what happened last night.

After telling what happened last night, Gu Xiaoyou said in a brisk tone: "After teaching Zhi Xia, my life will be a little easier in the future."

"I didn't expect Zhixia to be so clever." Zhou said with emotion.

"Yes, everyone has their own strengths." Gu Xiaoyou responded.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou thought thoughtfully and thought that Zhixia could help through her skillful hands, so she could too.

The reason why Gu Xiaoyou is so tired and busy is not only busy with store opening training, but also because he has to give Liang'er breakfast.

After thinking about this, Mrs. Zhou said with some positivity: "My embroidery skills are pretty good, and I should be able to draw patterns as well. Otherwise, I can also learn paper-cutting and help you with Zhixia."

Gu Xiaoyou shook his head. Zhou thought she had been rejected and was a little disappointed.

She still wanted to fight for it, but she heard Gu Xiaoyou say: "You should manage the paper shop and isatis root workshop first, and wait until you train a foreman who can share the workload for you, and then think about other things."

"Okay, I will definitely train a foreman as soon as possible." Zhou said happily.

"You can't be careless. You must choose someone who is capable and loyal. Just follow the standards of Yang He and Zhu Cheng."

Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou talked about their experience in training foremen. Zhou listened very seriously. After all, it was Gu Xiaoyou who taught her the concept of foremen.

While they were talking, the carriage stopped at the intersection of Anyang Street in Lutan. Gu Xiaoyou stopped talking and said, "I will talk to you in detail at noon."

"Sure." Zhou responded, and Gu Xiaoyou returned to the shop.

Seven days later, in the room of the mansion.

Gu Xiaoyou held the paper-cut in his hand and observed it carefully. Zhixia looked at Gu Xiaoyou nervously, waiting for her judgment.

After a while, Gu Xiaoyou put down the paper-cut in his hand and cleared his throat: "Ahem."

Zhixia immediately stood up straight and looked at Gu Xiaoyou eagerly.

"You paper-cut..." Gu Xiaoyou deliberately made a long voice to show off, and Zhixia's heart was raised to her throat by the long voice.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at Zhixia's sullen face and couldn't help but smile: "Congratulations on passing the exam."

"Oh, you scared me to death." Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief and said coquettishly.

Gu Xiaoyou stuck out her tongue playfully, that's how interesting it is to announce the news.

Zhixia shook her head in her heart, sometimes she really felt that the young lady was really naughty.

Of course, I can only think about it in my heart, Zhixia doesn't have the courage to complain in person.

After the joke, Gu Xiaoyou said seriously: "Your skills have passed the test. Now you treat me as a student and teach me how to cut paper."

"Yes." Zhixia responded, her face becoming serious: "Please allow me to think about it first."

She recalled how Gu Xiaoyou taught her these days, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Xiaoyou didn't rush her, picked up the tea cup, took a slow sip of tea, and started eating the snacks on the table.

After she had finished two snacks and drank a cup of tea, Zhixia said, "I have thought about it."

"Okay, let's get started." Gu Xiaoyou patted the snack dregs off his hand and raised his eyes to look at Zhixia.

Zhixia was nervous for a moment, swallowed, picked up a piece of colored paper and said, "I'll teach you how to fold paper first. Please pick up the paper you have."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou cooperated and picked up the colored paper on the table.
