Chapter 995 Character Portrait

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

She took out a US dollar bill from her bag and placed it on the desk.

It was clearly a Frenchman, but he used not francs, but US dollars.

Li Xingxing didn't care at all. There was a faint smile on her lips, and her eyebrows were pretty. She asked everyone generously: "Does that gentleman or lady need their own portrait?"

"Need, need." A middle-aged couple took a man and a woman first, "We are the four of us."

Li Xingxing cut four separate personal portraits for them, and then cut one family photo for them, which made the four from the United States very happy and was very generous, giving them one hundred dollars.

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

Li Xingxing asked Xia Mingxing to peel it open in his mouth, enjoying the silky and mellow dark chocolate, and smiled slightly 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 stunned.

He heard from the manager of Friendship Store that Li Xingxing was very powerful, but he didn't expect that he could find business opportunities even if he wandered around the hotel, and he earned all foreign currency!

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

Soon, Xia Mingxing called General Manager Ma again, "Please arrange for the mounting master to work. Some foreign friends hope that the paper cuts they bought can be mounted so that they will not break them."

The red paper is thin and cannot be stained with water or put into the pocket at will. The best way is to frame it.

It is convenient for collection and carrying after mounting.

General Manager Ma immediately called the mounter of the cultural relics store to bring the apprentice to help, sorted out a studio on the first floor, brought enough materials and tools needed, and worked on the spot.

The apprentice does a good job of framing paper cutting, not to mention that the masters are all skilled.

Anyway, busy.

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

Most customers want their own portraits, but a few like traditional patterns in Chinese culture, such as "Chang'e Flying to the Moon", "Four Beauties", "Magpie Climbing the Branches", "Mandarin ducks Playing in the Water", "Carp Leaping the Dragon Gate", "Flowers Blooming Rich", "Dragon and Phoenix Showing Good Luck", "Butterfly Love Flowers", "Swallows Flying", "Peacocks Blooming the Screen", etc. The art of flowers and birds is particularly popular.

Li Xingxing is skillful and can cut out dozens of different patterns even if he is a bird of the same kind.

It's like cutting out flowers.

I was so busy that I was about to eat before dinner, and the customers left one after another, and were all very satisfied.

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

Foreigners are truly in love with paper-cutting art!

It remains unchanged decades later.

After careful counting, Li Xingxing earned 265 pounds, 950 US dollars, and 1,200 Hong Kong dollars.

Not all the people living in international hotels are foreigners, but also Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese.

There was a middle-aged rich businessman from Xiangjiang who did not leave. He was wearing suits and ties, with decent behavior, thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a gentle and elegant atmosphere. He asked Li Xingxing: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the Year of the Tiger will open. How many types of window flowers can you cut out? If there are more than twelve types, I am willing to buy them at a price of 100 Hong Kong dollars each."

Yo roar!

Is it a gift to your door?
