Chapter 161: Colored Paper Book Cover
The other people in the backyard looked at each other, how did these two become so mysterious overnight?
Although they were curious, they still had a job to do, so they had to return to their respective posts and continue to write books.
Gu Xiaoyou didn't know about the backyard, and continued to flip through the books in the book club.
As the sun rose, there were more pedestrians on the streets, and the bookstore was gradually getting customers.
In front of the bookshelf, Gu Xiaoyou was reading a travel journal, and a young lady and maid sat beside him at some point.
The maid had been fiddling with something, Gu Xiaoyou frowned, and moved to the side, she didn't have any idea about the arrival of the two people, but gradually the conversation between the two people caught her attention.
"Miss, is it okay for you to look at such a book?" The maid asked softly.
The young lady beside her didn't reply immediately, but pondered for a moment and said, "The position of the flower is wrong, a little further down." ”
"Yes." The maid fiddled with it again.
After a while, she asked her young lady softly: "Is it okay for Miss to do this?" ”
The sound of the sleeves rubbing against the table, the young lady may have reached for the book, and after a moment, the young lady said dissatisfiedly: "It's too loose, and it will be scattered before taking a stick of incense." ”
"This ...... The slave and maid think of a way again. The maid said in fear.
A somewhat hurried voice came to mind, and Gu Xiaoyou couldn't help but look at him curiously.
I saw a little maid holding a red handkerchief and wrapping it on the book, the handkerchief was silky, and the little maid wrapped this and that, and she was anxious to sweat.
Her young lady pouted and looked at the little maid with an anxious expression.
Gu Xiaoyou said funny: "How can you use a handkerchief to wrap books?" ”
"Kraft paper is so ugly, I don't like it." The young lady glanced at Gu Xiaoyou and said arrogantly.
"Then wrap it in colored paper." Gu Xiaoyou said casually.
"Confetti?" The young lady asked with interest, "Do you know where you can find colored paper wrapped in books?" I only have colored paper in my house, which is too small to cover books. ”
"I have the colored paper, you wait." Gu Xiaoyou said a word, got up and walked towards the backyard, walked through several yards, and quickly took a few large sheets of colored paper that had not been cut from the colored paper workshop, and specially picked the water-red ones and brought them back.
Gu Xiaoyou put the colored paper on the table: "Oh, take it and wrap the book." ”
"Thank you." When the young lady saw the colored paper, her eyes lit up, she thanked her happily, turned to the maid and urged, "Don't hurry up and wrap the book for Miss Ben." ”
"Yes, miss." The maid responded, holding the colored paper to wrap the book, who expected that the colored paper was too big and the book was too small, and the maid was suddenly a little at a loss.
Gu Xiaoyou couldn't stand the girl's clueless movements, and took the colored paper and books: "I'll come, you go to the counter and ask for scissors." ”
The maid glanced at the young lady, and when she saw that her young lady had no objection, she immediately ran to the counter and came back with a pair of scissors.
"The scissors are here, here you are."
"Put it on the table." Gu Xiaoyou said without raising his head, put the book on the colored paper to compare, estimated the size, folded the colored paper in half, and cut it with scissors.
Then put the book in the center of the cut colored paper, fold the colored paper along the side of the book, press out the traces on the colored paper along the edge of the book with your fingers, and after pressing both sides, spread out the colored paper, and cut two diagonal lines with scissors on both sides of the traces on the side of the book.
Fold the colored paper along the diagonal line, and then fold the colored paper according to the creases on the colored paper, it is best to put the book into the folded colored paper, and a book cover will be successfully done.
"Will be." Gu Xiaoyou dubbed the sound effect, raised his eyebrows and said, "The bookbag is wrapped, how is it?" ”
"It's so pretty." The young lady picked up the book wrapped in the red book cover, looked left and right, and liked it very much.
"If you like flowers, you can draw them with pen and ink." Gu Xiaoyou said casually.
"Well, you have a good idea." The young lady smiled crookedly.
While the two were talking, their movements attracted the attention of other customers in the store, Gu Xiaoyou's movements were fast and swift, they couldn't help but watch the whole process, and now they whispered when they saw the finished product.
"It turns out that the book cover can still be wrapped like this, and I stick it with paste."
"The water-red book cover is so beautiful, much more eye-catching than the indigo book."
"This book cover is wonderful......"
The customers discussed in a whisper, and the young lady with the new book cover looked a little better, and picked up the book with satisfaction: "Miss Ben wants this book, take the rest of the colored paper." ”
"Yes, miss." The maid replied and put away the colored paper on the table.
The young lady smiled at Gu Xiaoyou: "Thank you, you have a good package, Miss Ben will reward you with something." ”
"No need, just buy a few more books." Gu Xiaoyou smiled.
"Okay, Miss Ben picks a few more." The young lady smiled and carried the minibus to the bookshelf to choose a book.
The eyes of the customers are still focused on the book cover, the lady holding the book can't help but straighten her waist straighter, and pick a few books with a proud expression, when she goes to the counter to check out, she puts the water-red book on the top, and heroically puts two ingots of silver to the guy, and walks away with the book with satisfaction, and the maid follows behind with colored paper.
As soon as the young lady left, several female customers couldn't sit still, and they all gathered around Gu Xiaoyou and asked softly, "Is there any colored paper?" ”
"I want to wrap a book jacket too."
"Could you please help me pack the books?"
Facing the eager and expectant eyes of the girls, Gu Xiaoyou touched his nose: "I'll go to the backyard to have a look, and try to wrap all of you in book covers." ”
"Thank you." The girls became happy and urged happily, "Then you should go quickly." ”
"Uh, okay." Gu Xiaoyou got up helplessly and walked towards the backyard under the expectant eyes of the girls.
After a while, Gu Xiaoyou came back with a few pieces of colored paper, and as soon as she entered the bookstore, she was surrounded by the girls and sat on the table.
"Please help me wrap a water-red one."
"I want the water green."
"As long as it's colored paper, I don't pick it."
The girls enthusiastically handed the book to Gu Xiaoyou, and Gu Xiaoyou waved her hand: "You come one by one." ”
"I'm the first in line." A girl said smartly, and hurriedly stood in front of the table, and the other girls followed in line when they saw this.
Gu Xiaoyou saw that there were many people in line, his eyes rolled, and he said solemnly: "Let me declare first, a book jacket is ten cents, and if you don't want to spend your wallet, quit the team." ”
"I'm willing to spend my wallet and get a water green one." The first girl said positively.
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou took out a water-green one from the colored paper, and wrapped the bookcase with his hands and feet.
"Alright, next." Gu Xiaoyou handed the book to the girl and said without raising her head.
The second girl hurriedly handed over the book: "I want a blue book cover." ”
