I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 995 Character Portrait
The French girl was pleasantly surprised when she saw it. She picked up her own portrait, looked at it for a while, and said, "I like it very much, thank you."

She took a dollar bill from her bag and put it on the case.

They are obviously French, but they don't use francs, but US dollar bills.

Li Xingxing didn't care at all, with a faint smile on her lips, delicate eyebrows, she asked everyone generously: "Is there any gentleman or lady who needs a portrait of herself?"

"Need, need." A middle-aged couple came forward with a man and a woman, "The four of us."

Li Xingxing cut four separate personal portraits for them, and then cut a family photo for them, which made the family of four from the United States very happy.

The little boy about seven or eight years old also took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and gave it to Li Xingxing.

Li Xingxing asked Xia Xingxing to peel it open in his mouth, enjoying the smoothness and aroma of the dark chocolate, and smiled at the little boy, "Thank you, it's delicious, I like it very much."

General Manager Ma who was squeezed out of the crowd was dumbfounded.

He had heard from Manager Guan of the Friendship Store that Li Xingxing was very powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful. He could find business opportunities even by wandering around in restaurants, and all the money he made was in foreign currency!

At that time, foreigners who came to travel or visit Shanghai were quite wealthy and powerful.

Soon, Xia Mingxing called General Manager Ma over again, "Please arrange for a framer to come to work. Some foreign friends hope that the paper-cuts they bought can be framed so that they won't damage them."

The red paper is light and thin, so it can't get wet, and it can't be put in your pocket at will. The best way is to frame it.

After mounting, it is beneficial for collection and carrying.

General Manager Ma immediately called the mounter from the cultural relics store to bring apprentices to help, organize a studio on the first floor, bring enough materials and tools needed, and work on the spot.

Apprentices do a good job of framing paper-cuts, not to mention the masters are all skilled.

All in all, very busy.

The red paper was not enough, so General Manager Ma was busy and arranged for someone to send a few knives.

Most customers want their own portraits, but a few prefer traditional patterns in Chinese culture, such as "Chang'e Flying to the Moon", "Four Beauties", "Magpies Climbing Branches", "Mandarin Ducks Playing in Water", "Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate" , "Flowers Bloom Wealth", "Dragon and Phoenix Presenting Prosperity", "Butterflies in Love with Flowers", "Swallows Flying Together", "Peacocks Spreading Their Tails", etc., the art of flowers and birds is especially popular.

Li Xingxing is so ingenious that even the same bird can cut more than a dozen or dozens of different patterns.

It's like cutting out flowers.

Busy until dinner, the customers left one after another, all satisfied.

Looking at a large pile of foreign currency, Li Xingxing was also very satisfied. He rubbed his sore wrist and said cheerfully: "Brother Xia, come and count the money! It's a pity that I can't share half of it with you."

Foreigners really love the art of paper-cutting!
Still unchanged decades later.

After detailed counting, Li Xingxing received 260 pounds, 950 US dollars, and [-] Hong Kong dollars.

Not all foreigners live in international hotels, there are also Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese.

There was a middle-aged wealthy businessman from Xiangjiang who did not leave. He was dressed in suits and leather shoes, well-behaved, with thick eyebrows and handsome eyes. How many types can be cut out? If there are more than twelve types, I am willing to buy them at a price of [-] Hong Kong dollars each."

Yo ho!

Did you send money to your door?
