The female workers calmed down and said, "Say."

"You are very skilled in paper-cutting. When I was watching, I suddenly had an idea. I think we can set up tables and chairs in the center of the shop, and then you can work in teams of two to cut paper in the shop. What do you think of this idea?"

Gu Xiaoyou finished speaking slowly. No female worker spoke, so she added: "We can discuss it. If you have any ideas, you can tell me."

After saying that, Gu Xiaoyou picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, letting the female workers digest her thoughts.

The female workers first looked at each other and were quiet for a while before burning incense. Then they gathered together in twos and threes and began to discuss softly.

The old man Gu Xiaoyou was drinking tea and eating snacks, letting the female workers discuss it.

Although Zhixia couldn't figure out what her lady meant, out of her blind trust in Gu Xiaoyou, she had long put aside her doubts and waited on the side, adding tea and snacks to Gu Xiaoyou from time to time.

After Gu Xiaoyou ate half of the snack, the female workers stopped discussing.

They sent the tallest and smartest female worker to speak on their behalf. The female worker turned to Gu Xiaoyou and asked with emotion: "Boss, we can go to the shop to cut paper, but can you tell us the reason for doing this?"

"

"It's very simple. Do you still remember how you felt when I cut paper for you for the first time?" Gu Xiaoyou asked.

The female worker nodded: "Remember, your movements are very beautiful. You cut a piece of red paper with just a few clicks. As soon as the red paper was opened, we were all stunned. It was so delicate and beautiful..."

Halfway through the sentence, the female worker seemed to understand something: "So the boss asked us to cut paper in the shop to let the customers also experience the magic of paper cutting?"

"Yes, you are very smart." Gu Xiaoyou praised it and smiled: "In addition to letting them see the charm of paper-cutting, maybe it can attract more customers."

Although the paper-cutting business is good, it has been gradually slowing down, and orders are still worse than those of other shops.

Gu Xiaoyou also wants to use this method of displaying skills to increase the store's business.

"The boss has a good idea."

"I really like to see people cutting paper. It's very pleasing to the eye."

"Me too, me too..."

The female workers echoed lively, Gu Xiaoyou listened with a smile, discussed with them how to arrange the shifts, and then let them call it a day.

On the carriage back home, Zhixia sat on the seat and made some gestures with his hands from time to time.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhou didn't see what was going on. She stretched out her index finger and poked Gu Xiaoyou's arm gently, and asked softly: "What's wrong with Zhixia?"

Why is it so weird after not seeing each other for a day?

"Oh, I'm practicing paper-cutting." Gu Xiaoyou glanced at it and said clearly.

"You taught her new tricks again?"

"No, it's her turn tomorrow."

"Shift schedule?" Zhou was completely confused.

"That's it, I arranged for them to go to the shop for paper-cutting..."

Gu Xiaoyou briefly explained the arrangements for the afternoon, and then Zhou understood: "You are the only one with many evil ideas."

"How can you be a boss if you don't have many ideas? This is a new publicity method. You still have to learn it." Gu Xiaoyou said arrogantly.

"Propaganda means..." Zhou pondered thoughtfully.

Seeing that Zhou didn't say anything for a long time, Gu Xiaoyou explained kindly: "The publicity method is similar to the hawking of small vendors in the market or the banners and flags set up by fortune tellers in front of the table. It is a way to attract other people's attention.

"

"I see." Mrs. Zhou showed a look of realization: "Is this why you set off firecrackers every time you open a store?"

"Yes, in addition to being lucky, it's just for publicity." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

While talking, the carriage arrived at the mansion, and the three of them returned to their respective rooms and moved separately. Gu Xiaoyou continued to study her training content, Zhou was practicing her skills in the kitchen, and Zhixia went back to her room to practice paper-cutting.

The three of them were busy on their own until the watchman struck the midnight watch, then they blew out the candles and took a rest.

The busy night slowly passed, and the sun slowly rose.

A new day began. Gu Xiaoyou got up early and went to Anyang Street in Lutan with Zhou and Zhixia.

After training the clerks in the shop for an hour, Gu Xiaoyou let them practice on their own and couldn't wait to walk in the direction of the paper art workshop.

I don’t know whether her propaganda method is effective or whether people in ancient times would have accepted it.

As soon as he walked to the door, Gu Xiaoyou noticed something different from usual. Although there were not many customers in the shop, at least he could catch a glimpse of someone inside when passing by, and occasionally he could hear voices.

The shop is very quiet today. Is it because there is no one there?

Her idea didn't work out?

Gu Xiaoyou walked in with some doubts, and was shocked by the sight as soon as he entered.

There was no one in the shop, but a bunch of people stood there. They all gathered around the center of the shop, quietly watching Zhixia and the female worker sitting in the center cutting paper.

Done!

She knew it could work. Gu Xiaoyou smiled happily and couldn't help but move closer and look into the center of the store.

I saw Zhixia holding a piece of red paper in one hand and using scissors in the other hand to cut on the red paper.

Her movements were nimble, her fingers were made a little more slender by the scissors, and the hand she was holding was white by the red paper. The somewhat bulky scissors were held by Zhixia like a nimble fish, and they were on the edge of the red paper.

Swim along the route she planned.

Zhixia's movements were fast and smooth, and the movements of another female worker were no less impressive, dancing with scissors on colored paper.

After half a cup of tea, Zhixia took the lead to put down the scissors. She shook the red paper gently, scattering fine scraps of paper like red leaves floating in the air.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help being drawn to the red paper, and they saw her white fingers gently unfolding the red paper, and a beautiful hibiscus flower bloomed on the paper.

"A pair of scissors and a piece of paper can create such beautiful flowers!"

"It's so beautiful, and the pattern is so beautiful."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was cut with just a pair of scissors."

Just as everyone was marveling at Zhixia's hibiscus flowers, another female worker also completed her paper-cutting.

She omitted the step of removing the confetti and directly unfolded the colored paper. During the unfolding process, the confetti fell one after another. As the wisdom fell, a bird holding a flower appeared in her hand, and the confetti just seemed to be a flower.

petals, the artistic conception came out immediately.

Everyone started talking again, looking at the vivid hibiscus flowers and the beautiful birds. They wished they had an extra pair of eyes and could see the two paper-cuts.
Chapter completed!
