Chapter 197: Don't judge people easily by their appearance
Gu Xiaoyou went down and inspected the patterns drawn by the female workers before turning back to the front.
At this time, Zhixia had already finished tracing the pattern and put down the pen.
Gu Xiaoyou did not check Zhixia's finished product, but directly picked up the scissors and started teaching with the colored paper that had already been drawn.
"Cut along the solid lines, leaving space on the dotted lines. When you encounter a turning point, move the paper in your hand to make the lines smooth."
The female workers picked up the scissors and followed Gu Xiaoyou's instructions step by step.
Some novices will inevitably stumble a bit, and their hands may be slightly stronger, but they need to listen to Gu Xiaoyou's explanation before they can continue cutting.
The female workers immediately forgot about Zhixia's existence as soon as they started cutting paper. They were all concentrating on cutting the colored paper in their hands, so they missed Zhixia's flexible and smooth paper-cutting movements.
After three cups of tea, Gu Xiaoyou put down the scissors and gently shook the colored paper in his hand, causing tiny pieces of paper to fall down.
She unfolded the paper-cut in her hand: "After you've cut it, unfold the paper and I'll go down and check it."
"Yes." The female workers responded and continued with the final steps.
Zhixia put down the scissors almost at the same time as Gu Xiaoyou, gently pushed away the scraps of paper on the colored paper, pushed the scraps of paper aside, slowly unfolded the colored paper, and put it on the table.
Gu Xiaoyou walked over to check and found that Zhixia's finished product did not disappoint her: "The cut is very good."
Zhixia pursed her lips and said shyly: "I miss you so much, Miss."
Gu Xiaoyou patted her shoulder, not much. During this period, female workers stopped their movements one after another and put the paper-cuts on the table.
Taking the paper-cuts she had made, Gu Xiaoyou went to each female worker's seat with her hands behind her back to inspect them.
The level of each female worker varies, and skilled female workers are slightly better. Although there are flaws, they are better than the work of new workers.
After walking around and checking all the female workers' works, Gu Xiaoyou picked up Zhixia's work from her desk and placed it with his own, holding a display in one hand.
"Everyone, take a look, this is my work, this is Zhixia's work, you can see the difference."
The female workers leaned forward to look at it. Gu Xiaoyou thought it was too hard for them to look at it, so he simply handed all the paper-cuts in their hands and asked them to pass them around.
The female workers passed the two paper-cuts around to look at each other, becoming increasingly confused as they looked at them.
These two pictures are almost identical. Which one was cut by Boss Gu? Which one was cut by Zhixia?
Things got chaotic as they were passed around. The new female worker who took over asked in surprise: "Are these two the same? Which one was cut by the boss?"
Other female workers who had not seen it came over one after another, and they were all surprised when they saw it, and they doubted their own eyes.
Hearing everyone's surprised sighs, Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "No need to guess, the two should be the same. Even if you give them to me, I can't guess which one I cut."
"so smart."
"It seems he has real ability."
"It's amazing. You learned from us and you can cut it perfectly."
"Not necessarily. Maybe I knew it before."
The female workers began to discuss again. Some expressed admiration for Zhixia, while others still had doubts.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoyou knocked on the table and said to everyone: "I know you may be dissatisfied, so I will show everyone Zhixia's skills."
"Zhixia, come up."
"Yes, miss." Zhixia stood up from the chair and walked to Gu Xiaoyou's side with small steps.
Gu Xiaoyou took off the mulberry paper on the wall and took off three pieces in a row to make sure that there was no trace of writing or ink on the mulberry paper left on the wall.
"This is a brand new piece of white paper with no marks at all. Now Zhixia, please draw the pattern you just made on it."
"Yes." Zhixia responded. After recalling it for a moment, he picked up his pen and began to draw on the mulberry paper.
Gu Xiaoyou clasped the paper with the pattern behind her back. The female workers were sure that Zhixia could not see the content on the paper, but they could see it clearly and saw that Zhixia had drawn the pattern exactly.
She placed the paper she drew next to Zhi Xia's drawing: "Did you see it? Let me stress it again. This is the first time I taught you a pattern. You and her are at the same progress."
The female workers were all stunned. They were shocked to see the basically identical patterns.
"You can also draw the patterns I taught you yesterday."
"Okay." Zhixia responded, without even thinking about it, he just picked up the pen and started drawing on the paper.
The female workers blinked in disbelief. If what the boss said was true, then this Zhixia's ability is really quite big.
After Zhixia finished painting, the room became quiet.
Gu Xiaoyou took advantage of the victory and pursued it: "Cut a picture to celebrate your birthday."
The longevity picture is currently the most difficult paper-cut pattern in the paper art workshop. Except for Gu Xiaoyou, all the female workers need to trace the pattern and cut paper.
But they saw Zhixia choose a piece of colored paper of appropriate size among the colored papers, fold it a few times, pick up the scissors and cut it on the colored paper.
The dexterous fingers manipulated the scissors, flying up and down on the colored paper, with fast and smooth movements.
Usually it takes them three-quarters of an hour to cut the pattern, but Zhixia finished it in two-quarters of an hour.
They saw her flicking away the confetti on the colored paper, unfolding the colored paper, and a lifelike picture of celebrating a birthday appeared in front of them.
The female workers were all stunned by this scene and could no longer speak any doubts.
Looking at the dumbfounded female workers, Gu Xiaoyou raised the corners of her lips and said loudly: "You are all convinced."
"I'm convinced." The female workers responded blankly.
Gu Xiaoyou shook his head: "This means that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world. Even though Zhixia is young, she has the talent to make good paper-cutting. Don't judge people by their appearance easily in the future."
Seeing that the female workers all looked a bit ashamed, Gu Xiaoyou said: "Okay, from now on you all should follow Zhixia's example and be more modest."
"Yes." The female workers responded in unison.
Gu Xiaoyou looked away with satisfaction, turned to Zhixia and said, "Okay, I'll leave this to you, just teach them the tricks they just did."
"Yes." Zhixia nodded in response. Seeing Gu Xiaoyou walking towards the door with her hands behind her back, she asked in a panic: "Miss, aren't you going to stay here?"
"No, it's all up to you from now on, come on." Gu Xiaoyou encouraged.
"I am alone..." Zhixia said softly, looking a little uneasy.
"Don't be afraid, you have to believe in yourself, you are a little genius that I recognize." Gu Xiaoyou looked at Zhixia with trusting eyes.
Zhixia didn't want to betray her young lady's trust, so she nodded seriously and said with firm eyes: "Don't worry, young lady, I will teach you well."
