Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 217 Butterfly Silk Flower

There is nothing wrong with the little beggars calling themselves masters.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yan spoke:

“It is not easy to follow me. I have a test for you. Only those who pass the test can follow me.

Are you willing to accept this test?"

The little beggars answered in unison: "We do!"

Gu Yan nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Okay, do you see these willow branches?

Next, I will teach you how to weave a basket, so please watch carefully."

The little beggars immediately gathered around, staring with wide eyes and watching intently how Gu Yan weaved the basket.

Gu Yan moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye he had woven three relatively simple baskets.

Considering the limited time, he does not intend to teach overly complicated styles. These are the types that sell well and are relatively easy to knit.

"Do you understand?" Gu Yan asked, "If you don't, you can learn from each other.

Remember, you not only have to learn it yourself, but you also have to make sure others can learn it, okay?"

Gu Yan gave them a hard rule because he hoped that his servants would not only think about themselves, but also have team spirit and a sense of the overall situation.

"We understand!" the little beggars answered in unison, "We can do it!"

Gu Yan pointed to the willow tree not far away and said,

"Very good, now I will assign you a task.

Do you see that willow tree over there?"

The reason why he chose to teach everyone how to weave wicker baskets was because there were many willow trees near the dilapidated temple and the materials were easy to obtain.

Everyone nodded. Some of the smart ones thought of what Gu Yan had just taught them about weaving baskets, and even guessed what was going to happen next.

“I believe some of you have already guessed that it is to ask everyone to take willow branches and make wicker baskets.

What I just taught you is just a simple way to weave a basket. If you have your own creativity and ideas, you can also weave other styles of baskets.

If possible, please try to weave more, and put away the woven baskets and keep them properly. I will come to check them next time.

There are only two requirements: first, it must be strong and durable; second, it must look good.

You can go over there and get the willow branches for the materials. Any questions?"

The little beggars looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"If you have a problem, you must learn to find a way to solve it yourself!"

Gu Yan paused, then said:

“This is also a test I give to everyone. If you follow me, you must learn to overcome difficulties on your own. If there are no conditions, you must create them yourself.

Please think carefully about what I said today. Next time we meet, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. "

After saying this, he did not stay for long and got on the donkey cart and left, leaving the little beggars deep in thought.

This is Gu Yan's own way of employing people. Those who follow him cannot be too stupid and must know how to judge the situation. Gu Yan would rather have nothing than have the wrong person and he does not want to hire just anyone.

Gu Yan was anxious to go home.

On the other side, Gu Qingzhi was explaining the method of making new silk flowers to Gu Jingshu and others.

"Aunt Xiu, Sister Jingshu, Sister Yi, Sister Shui, look, if we just use needle and thread to fix it here, it will look better, right?"

"Yes," Gu Qingyi clapped her hands and said, "Great! From this perspective, it looks like a dancing butterfly!"

Gu Manxiu looked thoughtful and said, "If this place is changed, it will become a different posture."

"Okay, then we will make this style in the next few days." Gu Qingzhi decided immediately.

She decided to make fewer simple silk flowers and more of these more complex and beautiful styles.

After all, good-looking things are more worthy of promotion.

After pondering for a while, Gu Qingzhi looked at Gu Manxiu and Gu Jingshu again.

Both of them are experts in needlework, so they can do more.

“We will focus on the butterfly theme and start with the current butterfly style, and then make some appropriate changes on this basis.

Aunt Xiu, Sister Jingshu, Sister Yi, Sister Shui, what do you think? "

Gu Manxiu thought for a moment and asked softly, "Sister Zhi, do you mean they don't have to be exactly the same?"

Gu Qingzhi couldn't help laughing: "Aunt Xiu, our materials are all different, how can we make them exactly the same?

Besides, don’t you think silk flowers are better if they are a little different?

In this way, buyers will think this is good-looking, that is good-looking too, and they will want to buy them all home, and sales will increase!"

Gu Manxiu and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. It turned out that they had misunderstood Gu Qingzhi's thoughts all along.

Several people suddenly realized: "I understand..."

Gu Qingyi also breathed a sigh of relief: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It turns out that this is possible. I was so stressed out before!"

She thought that these silk flowers had to be made exactly the same, so she carefully took them apart and modified them again, over and over again.

Gu Qingzhi looked at her serious expression and felt a bit amused: "Blame me, blame me. It was all because I didn't explain it clearly before."

After thinking for a while, she continued, "When we make silk flowers, there is only one principle, which is to make them look good!

It is so beautiful that people can’t move after seeing it. They have to buy it home to feel comfortable.

When you are doing it, just try to move in this direction and there will be no problem.

You are all young ladies, so you naturally understand what ladies are thinking."

Everyone suddenly understood and nodded.

After this incident, their horizons have been greatly broadened and their original ideas have been broken.

After that day, the few of them completely let themselves go, no longer bound by the so-called rules, and began to create works in a fanciful way.

When Wang examined the silk flowers, she was amazed and exclaimed: "These little guys are so skillful!"

She mentioned in passing: "Qing'er, this batch of silk flowers can be said to be much more exquisite than any previous batch. They are simply colorful and varied, and each one is beautiful in its own way!"

Since Gu Qingzhi had given a butterfly theme before, most of these silk flowers are butterfly-themed.

Gu Qingzhi picked up a few at random and looked at them, and found that it was just as Wang said, each one was lifelike, as if it would fly away at any time.

Indeed, Gu Qingzhi's lips curled up slightly. She picked up a silk flower at random and put it on Wang's head: "Mother looks several years younger wearing this silk flower!"

Wang smiled and picked one for Gu Qingzhi to wear: "These exquisite little things should be worn on the young lady's head."

Gu Qingzhi quickly ran into the house and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled at the girl in the mirror, and the girl in the mirror immediately smiled back at her.

She lowered her eyes slightly.
