Chapter 105: Making a Couplet

By the time the people of Asa Yu saw the couplets that they had made by themselves, they couldn't express their shock and surprise in words: how could there be such a beautiful couplet? How can there be such a striking couplet? How can there be such a unique couplet? There are no words to describe and describe such couplets.

No matter how many questions there are in everyone's mind, they can no longer say anything against such a couplet. The matter of selling couplets is so meaninglessly finalized, because time is pressing, such a business is in a hurry, and it is not interesting to celebrate the New Year, and no matter how good the couplet is, it is equal to waste paper. It's twenty-six today, and it's actually too late to sell couplets, so I missed the best time. But this time, Xiaoxiao is not actually about making money, but about letting everyone do it again, find motivation, and not sigh there every day. So everyone began to get busy under the supervision of light smile.

That's right, the light smile shows everyone the kind of printed couplets in later generations. However, there is no printing house that specializes in photocopying these things, and Light Smile can't find the door to enter for mass processing, so Light Smile processes the couplets by himself. She first cut the red paper into the length and width of the general couplet, and the part in the middle to write with a brush smiled and knew that her words could not be handled, and regretted that she had no credibility in speaking, although the idea of practicing words at that time was also fleeting, but then because she was trying to make money, she put this idea behind, and now it is useless to regret it. I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so I had the idea of using golden paper to cut out the words in a couplet I had seen before, and then pasting the words of the same size on different parts of the red paper in order, and then cutting out different side flowers with different colors of paper in the blank space of the red paper, and also gluing it in regular and irregular order. Not to mention, such couplets are really ingenious and unique, which makes people's eyes shine. I didn't expect that it was just that the paper-cutting technique was better, there were more patterns, and there was such a big effect when put together, which was really not in vain.

Don't talk about the children of Qianyu, even Mrs. Ge couldn't stop saying after seeing it: "I didn't expect that I could see different couplets at such an age." It's good-looking! It's so unexpected to laugh at you. "Yes, I didn't expect the couplet to be like this, it's the first time I've seen it at this age." Ge Chunmei said, a pair of hands carefully stroking the couplet. I didn't dare to use my strength, for fear that I would accidentally break and break this beautiful couplet. "Are you embarrassed to say that you are old in front of your mother? You live at such an age, so what is my old woman who has lived a handful of years? Grandma Ge scolded Ge Chunmei dissatisfiedly: "But the meaning of what you say is still right, I really haven't seen it, whose couplet is not written in black and red paper, and pasted it on the door." Everyone compares whose words are better, and the meaning of the couplet is good, who would have thought that there would be such a couplet. "Xiaoxiao, since you are going to sell this, you will first put this couplet on the door of the bubble tea shop for everyone to see." Ge Chunmei said.

"Aunt Ge has a good idea, stick it on the door, everyone can see it, and when we return, we will set up the stall at the door, and as soon as the things are placed, we don't need to shout to know what this is selling. There are also ready-made looks. I also know what it looks like to go home and post it, how good! Aunt Ge's idea is really wonderful, high! "It's rare for Asa Yu to show off his cleverness, and he shows his childish side somewhat." I'm in favor of it, and I'll put this couplet on the door, and I'll put it up now. Li Li raised her hands in the air, as excited as she was answering a teacher's question in class. Uncle and we work together? "Okay, let's go." Lin Jianjun picked up the couplet, didn't wait for a light smile to agree, and turned around and left. "Wait for me, there is still paste and brushes not taken out, why are you in a hurry." Li Li shouted at Lin Jianjun's back. Just go upstairs and rummage through things.

Seeing that everyone was afraid that they would not agree, he praised and hurriedly pasted the couplet on the door, and smiled very relaxedly: "Isn't it just a couplet of clothes, my own things will be stingy." When I cut a few more, you can pick one and see which one has the right meaning and use which one. "Really?" Lin Jianjun, who walked to the gate position, turned back, stared at it and said with a light smile: "You are not wrong. "Uncle, what are you thinking? We are in business, of course, we have to advertise, and it is not just right for our own families to post it. What will I say, one or two of you don't believe me, but I still want to teach you to do it together. "Really? Let's get started now. Li Li didn't go upstairs to look for things, she looked at her with a light smile and said that if you don't teach me, I will rely on you.

After teaching Qianyu and Li Li a few of the simplest paper-cutting, Qianxiao himself was also busy, a pair of dexterous hands were flipping quickly, one by one elegant fonts, one by one flowers about to emerge, and one by one lively animals were produced under this pair of skillful hands. Lin Jianjun was clumsily and carefully gluing and pasting on the side. Later, Ge Chunmei couldn't look past it, and Lin Jianjun felt that he was going into battle to help. There is a person who is used to housework and is still a woman, and the sensitivity of that hand is not comparable to a big boy like Lin Jianjun. Needless to say, with Ge Chunmei's joining, the speed has not increased by a star and a half.

Here is still in a hurry, over there to buy milk tea customers or regular customers who come to the milk tea shop to rest and chat, seeing the busy couplets in everyone's hands are also bright, and they have asked: "Are the couplets you made to be sold?" "How much is a piece?" "It's good-looking, it's so chic!" There is praise, there is buying. This small couplet has attracted countless curious people to watch the excitement, and the small bubble tea shop is overcrowded.

She asked Lin Jianjun to move the bench and wooden planks to the door of the bubble tea shop and set up a simple zuò table. The complete exposure of the couplet to the sight of people coming and going attracts many people who stop by the curiosity of the moment. Xiaoxiao simply asked Lin Jianjun to take out a pen and paper and sit next to him, record the couplets that the person who wants to buy the couplet has any good or desired couplets, and cut them for him on the spot. This trick has increased the flow of people.

Light smile is not afraid of someone to learn from the example, not to mention the seasonality of the couplet, even if you want a flexible skillful hand, it is not something that can be achieved overnight. Even Xiaoxiao himself followed his son to help him hand in his handicrafts in his previous life and began to practice, how much paper was wasted, how much time was sacrificed, and how much effort was spent.

Grandma Ge can't do this kind of delicate work with bad eyes, but seeing everyone so enthusiastic, she is not willing to have nothing to do on the side. After discussing with Qianxiao, Qianxiao finally agreed to hand over the matter of buying couplets and collecting money to Mrs. Ge. Won't be too tired and won't be idle.

Because it is made and sold, the speed is even worse. No matter how fast the smile is, no matter how flexible the hands are, a person's ability is always limited. Qianyu and Li Li are also beginners, and they can only cut some simple flowers to be placed in the corner, and the overall situation still depends on the support of Qianxiao. Although it takes a little time to make a couplet, the good thing is that the price of a light smile is set high, two yuan for a couplet. In this way, there are still a lot of people waiting in line at Lin Jianjun's place.

Scarcity is expensive!

The lively day passed in the constant repetition of paper-cutting, and the hand holding the dishes and chopsticks kept shaking during the dinner at night.

"Why are you working so hard, this kid, life at home is getting better and better day by day, and I don't ask your sisters how much money they have to make. Originally, you said that you wanted to open a small bookstall, and I thought that I would have nothing to do in the summer, and I agreed. In addition, we just came at that time, there was no money in our hands, life was difficult, it was difficult for you to be so sensible, and I was relieved for a long time, but now you see, in order to make money, you don't care about your body, you want to make more money all day long, this world is so big, do you earn this money? Lin Mier rubbed her hands with safflower oil to help her smile and invigorate her muscles and bones. Seeing her daughter's sin, not to mention how uncomfortable she felt in her heart, she was unforgiving, complaining and nagging.

"Mom, I'm not thinking about the New Year, taking this opportunity to make a lot of money. Besides, it's winter vacation, and there is nothing to do at home every day, so it's better to find a way to find a business, which enriches yourself and entertains everyone, and fills your pockets. Do you think it's a triple win? I promise to take care of my body and not show symptoms of illness. If there is the slightest sign of a cold, I will stop doing it immediately, okay? Mom-" I couldn't care less about Lin Mi'er's arms with a light smile, and put my hand full of safflower oil on Lin Mi'er's hand, coquettish.

"You-" Lin Mi'er rescued her hand from Xiaoxiao's hand, and continued to rub it hard.

"Mom, tap it, it hurts! Pain! Pain! ”

"Now I know the pain, how can I not think about the consequences when cutting paper. I think you fell into the eye of money and couldn't get out. I'm surprised, no one in the family has heard of such a fortune, how can there be a freak like you. ”

"What? I'm genetic. "Light smile very idiotically glanced at his mother, thinking that you have not seen the wealth of your sisters and brothers after a few years, it is really the master who only enters and does not leave, and it is completely Grande.

"What intergenerational inheritance? Your grandmother and grandfather are not that kind of people, who is not a penny in half now, you children can't speak, don't talk nonsense, such words are heard by others, it has a great impact. Lin Mier was not at ease, and said it over and over again, saying that she had a thousand instructions to Qianxiao, for fear that Xiaoxiao's young mouth would not be firm, and when the time came, the brothers and sisters in the family would hear that they would criticize her.

"Don't worry, how about me you and my sister still don't know?" Xiaoxiao stopped Lin Mi'er's rubbing and patted her stomach, looking greedy.

Lin Mier also packed up her medicines, washed her hands and ate. "I believe in you! Well, the world is the biggest, let's eat. (To be continued.) )
