Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 174 Teaching Xiaoshui to Make Silk Flowers

Gu Xiaoshui was naturally very happy to be able to help, and she studied even harder under Wang's instruction.

In the front yard, Gu Yan quickly wove an exquisite little basket according to the drawing drawn by Gu Qingzhi.

He smiled and handed the small basket to Gu Qingzhi: "Qingqing, how do you think it looks?"

After Gu Qingzhi took it and turned it around to examine it carefully, an expression of surprise appeared on her face. This small basket was exactly as she had imagined!

She praised without hesitation: "Brother, you are so awesome!

This basket is exactly the same as the one I drew!

This workmanship is absolutely amazing!"

Gu Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly, looking at Gu Qingzhi with eyes full of doting.

He smiled modestly and said, "Qingqing's drawing is still the best."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this time, Gu Lin came over, saw the woven basket in Gu Qingzhi's hand, took it and looked at it carefully.

As he watched, he exclaimed: "Ayan's craftsmanship has improved again. This time, my elder brother can't catch up with him!"

Hearing this, Gu Yan couldn't help but cough a few times. He felt a little embarrassed by the two people's praise. "Brother, are you here to see my weaving skills?"

Gu Lin then remembered the purpose of his visit and quickly explained, "Of course not, there was a problem at the pharmacy and Dad asked you to go over and take a look."

When Gu Qingzhi heard that it was about the pharmacy, she subconsciously stood up and said that she would also go to check the situation...

The next morning, when Gu Qingzhi got up, she saw Gu Xiaoshui sitting in the front hall, concentrating on making silk flowers. The sunlight shone on her, reflecting her focused and beautiful figure.

The brightly colored piece of cloth in Gu Xiaoshui's hand was like a dancing elf, shuttling back and forth between her deft fingertips, full of her care.

Gu Qingzhi stood by and watched for a while, giving some pointers from time to time.

Not long after, she heard Wang's voice: "Qing'er, wash up first and come over for breakfast!"

Gu Qingzhi answered loudly: "A lot, mother, Qing'er will be here soon!"

Then, she smiled at Gu Xiaoshui and said, "Shuijie, you continue to do it first. I will come over after breakfast to teach you some new tricks."

"Yeah!" Gu Xiaoshui nodded excitedly, her face filled with joy.

Gu Qingzhi quickly washed up and went to the dining room to eat.

After finishing breakfast, she originally wanted to stay and help with the stir-frying, but was driven out by Wang.

Wang smiled and said, "Your help is not needed. Sister Shui has already helped prepare all the ingredients. Now the only thing left is to stir-fry them."

Gu Qingzhi looked around and found that there were indeed pots of processed chestnuts and pecans on the table next to her, and portions of spices were prepared on the other side. There was indeed nothing she needed to do.

"Then I'll make the fire." Gu Qingzhi volunteered.

"No need. Didn't you say you wanted to teach Shui Jie'er some new tricks? Go over quickly!" Wang found it a little funny and urged.

"Okay then." Seeing that Wang really didn't want her to stay in the kitchen, Gu Qingzhi had to walk out with some embarrassment.

Arriving at the front hall, Gu Qingzhi took out two other small baskets, and from the hemp sack, she took out some scraps of cloth that Wang had carefully selected yesterday, and put them in the small baskets.

These scraps of cloth are colorful, but all of them are of high quality, which makes people's eyes light up.

Gu Qingzhi looked at these scraps of cloth carefully and began to think of new patterns in her mind.

These fabrics with better texture and brighter colors are usually used to make silk flowers with more complex patterns. After all, each flower costs as much as ten cents!

This skill is not something that anyone can easily learn.

Gu Qingzhi first took out a piece of light pink and a piece of light blue brocade. The two pieces of material felt silky smooth and even slightly reflective in the sun. If they were made into silk flowers, they would definitely be extremely beautiful.

The silk flower she planned to teach Gu Xiaoshui used the technique of overlapping colors, which was to overlap two colors, which had a better effect.

Gu Xiaoshui watched intently, never moving his eyes away for a moment.

Gu Qingzhi explained in detail which color fabrics should be chosen for layering, which fabrics can be used alone, etc.

Then she silently demonstrated it again herself.

Gu Xiaoshui had already mastered some basic knowledge before. Wang had once taught her some simple methods of making silk flowers, so she could be considered to have gained some understanding of the art.

However, it is still a bit difficult to make complex silk flowers.

So, she took Gu Qingzhi's words seriously to heart.

After Gu Qingzhi finished the demonstration, she let Gu Xiaoshui try to make it herself, while she gave careful guidance.

Of course, it’s hard to succeed on your first try.

Gu Qingzhi demonstrated it patiently several times, and then instructed Gu Xiaoshui to do it herself several times. Finally, she gradually mastered the technique.

"Sister, look! This is the silk flower I made." Gu Xiaoshui excitedly handed the beautiful silk flower she had just made to Gu Qingzhi.

Gu Qingzhi took it and looked at it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction: "This kid is teachable, Sister Shui, look, it's done."

Gu Xiaoshui was very happy, with a bright smile on her face: "That's all thanks to my sister's teachings."

Gu Qingzhi looked at her gently and said, "Well, just make this one first. Once you are familiar with this one, I will teach you other styles.

Practice makes perfect, review what you have learned to gain new insights, and do it one step at a time. Don’t be greedy and try to do too much.”

Gu Xiaoshui nodded seriously, "Sister, I understand."

At this time, Wang had already prepared the roasted nuts and joined the team making silk flowers.

On the other hand, after Gu Yan came back, he took the things prepared by Wang and rode a donkey to the county town.

Since he didn't have much stuff, he didn't drive the donkey cart. Riding a donkey would not only be faster, but also more convenient to go anywhere.

After all, he had a lot of places to go today.

When he arrived at the county town, he first went to Zhao's house to deliver roasted nuts.

In addition, he also brought the wine brewed by Gu Qingzhi and took two bottles directly, each bottle weighing about one kilogram.

"Brother Gu, this... is this wine?" Manager Zhao was so shocked that he almost dropped the bottle in his hand. He opened the bottle cap and a rich aroma of wine wafted into his nose.

"Real wine?" Manager Zhao took a deep breath, his face full of disbelief, "Is this... can I really drink this?"

Gu Yan didn't explain it clearly: "Manager Zhao, why don't you give it a try?"

"Try it? How?" Manager Zhao looked at the bottle of wine in his hand hesitantly.
