I used rebirth to bury his captivating gaze.

Chapter 125 The man who engraved seals in front of the Kelaiduo Supermarket disappeared

Ten days later, the eldest brother finished carving the exquisite stone seal. He was sitting at his seal-carving spot at the entrance of the Kelaiduo Supermarket, admiring it alone, while waiting for the customer who wanted to pick up the special stone to have it stamped as agreed.

I rented this place two years ago. It's just a small square wooden table and a wooden stool. Every day, rain or shine, I put all sorts of stamps on the square wooden table.

His seal-carving skills are superb, simply unparalleled in the world! His craftsmanship has attracted many customers who want official seals or personal seals made.

He waited for about half an hour before the person collecting the stamp arrived. Just then, Yu Mei was standing next to Xiao Xuzi, gazing intently at the exquisite stamp. And just then, the person collecting the stone stamp arrived.

The man who came to collect the seal was a refined-looking man wearing a long gown and glasses. The moment he saw the seal, his eyes lit up, and he repeatedly praised his senior brother's craftsmanship.

The senior brother smiled and handed over the seal. During their conversation, they discussed the purpose of the seal, which turned out to be used to stamp a precious ancient book with a collector's seal.

Yu Mei, unable to resist her curiosity, reached out and gently touched the exquisite patterns on the seal, a gesture that displeased the person taking the seal. Xiao Xu quickly pulled Yu Mei away and apologized. The senior brother waved his hand and said it was alright, even joking that Yu Mei must really like the seal to be so impetuous.

The man who took the seal paid Xiao Xu three times his wages and then left the way he came.

Just then, a group of more than a dozen masked thugs dressed in black and carrying long knives suddenly appeared in front of the man in the long robe who was taking the seal, and then surrounded them!

Just as the man in the long gown was in a dilemma, and the stone document stamp in his hand was about to fall into the hands of the thugs, police officer Liu Cheng, the director of the police station, arrived!

Chief Liu Cheng shouted, and the group of thugs instantly stopped. He sternly rebuked them, "How dare you rob people in broad daylight? Do you have no regard for the law?"

Although the thugs were unwilling, they dared not cause trouble in front of the police and immediately left the scene. The man who took the seal breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Liu Cheng, and hurriedly left.

This thug was actually one of Wang Chen's brother-in-law's gang!

At this moment, Chen Lixin, who had heard the news, also rushed to the scene and hurriedly asked Yu Mei if she was injured. Yu Mei shook her head and smiled!

Then, it turned out to be a false alarm, and everyone went back to their own work.

Yu Mei's art shop has opened, and she heard from her senior brother that "there are many customers" so she needs to hire an art designer to make a signboard.

Xiao Xuzi also secretly told her, "Don't tell the upstairs cook about this."

Yu Mei gratefully nodded to her senior brother and then came here. Just as she was about to go inside to discuss this major deal with the owner, she saw the stone being stamped with the official seal. Then this scene unfolded!

Then she told Chen Lixin about the art plaque project. Yu Mei asked Lixin to go into the Kelaiduo Supermarket first and discuss it with the owner. She would go to the second floor first to ask about other art studios.

A short while later, Yu Mei came downstairs, and Chen Lixin also happened to be coming out of the Kelaiduo Supermarket. She asked him, and he shook his head and said that the supermarket owner did not use the newly opened art and decoration to customize the signboard, meaning that he did not trust it.

Yu Mei was very confident in her own skills. Without that steel armor, how could she take on the job of a porcelain maker?

A short while later, Yu Mei came out with a smile and told Chen Lixin, who was waiting outside the door, and Xiao Xuzi, who was sitting at the entrance of Kelaiduo making seals, that she had taken on the job of making the signboard for Kelaiduo Supermarket.

The two asked her what she said that made a difficult supermarket owner agree to let a newly opened female owner make the signboard.

Yu Mei said mysteriously, "I showed the boss some of my design sketches, all of which were specially made for the unique features of Kelaiduo Supermarket. The boss could tell at a glance that I had prepared them with care, and my ideas were novel and unique, more attractive than the proposals from those established art studios." Xiao Xuzi gave a thumbs up in admiration, and Chen Lixin also showed a gratified smile.

Then Yu Mei added, "The materials I use for the plaques I make for you will definitely be better than those of other art and decoration shops, and the labor fees I charge you will not be higher than those of other art studios. If the work is poor and you are not satisfied, I will take it back."

The two clapped in agreement!

In the days that followed, Yu Mei devoted herself entirely to making the plaque. She carefully selected materials, meticulously sketched the design stroke by stroke, and repeatedly refined every detail. Her senior brother would occasionally come to check on her and offer suggestions.

Chen Lixin was responsible for the rough work, such as cutting and splitting iron pipes, welding, and installing lightbox fabric. Yu Mei wrote the artistic lettering and engraved the characters. The two worked together to make a large signboard. For the time being, Chen Lixin left the pedicab in his own yard, and the two focused solely on the art and decoration shop.

Finally, on the day the signboard was completed, Lixin hired more than a dozen people from the street to help install it on the building with large shovels. By evening, the entire area in front of the Kelaiduo Supermarket was crowded with people.

After finishing, Yu Mei gave each man who had worked with the large shovel twenty yuan. Then the workers left, and she stood alone, looking at the first large plaque of success she had personally made above the bungalow, tears welling up in her eyes!

The next day, when the red cloth was lifted, a magnificent plaque, full of artistry yet commercial flair, was revealed to everyone.

The supermarket owner beamed with joy and immediately gave Yu Mei a large red envelope. Applause erupted around them. Yu Mei stood there, filled with a sense of accomplishment. She knew that with her hard work and talent, her future in art would be bright and promising.

After having such a large plaque, her art work became increasingly more demanding.

In the following days, I heard that because of Yu Mei's large art plaque "Ke Lai Duo Supermarket" signboard, Yu Mei's master and Xiao Xuzi, who engraves seals at the supermarket entrance, had a dispute. I don't know where the master heard it from, but Xiao Xuzi knew that he had given the business to his junior sister instead of his master. This rebellious disciple who values ​​beauty over his master!

Then the eldest brother and the master had an argument, and the next day, Xiao Xuzi, the seal carver, was nowhere to be seen in front of the Kelaiduo Supermarket. Later, it was learned that Xiao Xuzi and the art and decoration shop master came to apologize, and the master forgave him and let him go back to his original position to carve seals. He said that he could earn more money working in the mine than carving seals.

Yu Mei's art decoration shop offers services including hand-carved lettering, calligraphy couplets, horizontal and vertical plaques, light boxes, banners, carving long wooden plaques for placement on either side of a company's entrance, and company banners and lettering.

Chen Lixin and Yang Yumei rented a shop in a prime location on the street to run an art and decoration business.

The art shop had many customers. There were three other shops near the shop, and on the other side of the cement road, there was a rented shop selling decoration materials. The owner of the art and decoration shop was a young man surnamed Li, and everyone called him Little Li.

Meanwhile, on the same street, a couple surnamed Yang rented a space to sell interior decoration materials. One of them, a couple surnamed Yang, had a customer who had set fire to Yu Mei's shop, and then Yang's wife and Yu Mei started arguing.

Yu Mei initially wanted to learn art and decoration from Xiao Yangzi, but her daughter-in-law disagreed, fearing that Yu Mei was too beautiful and she was a little uneasy. So, without saying anything herself, she asked her father-in-law to tell Yu Mei that he would not accept students.

Yu Mei and Li Xin are busy with their art decoration shop every day, and they have to cook dinner when they get home. It's really exhausting. Today, she took on a job that involved going out to a customer's house to write a dozen or so large artistic characters on the two large wooden doors in front of a large warehouse.

She stood on a high wooden stool, holding onto the wall with one hand while pressing down on one end of a long iron tooth, and writing artistic boldface letters with a pencil in the other hand. After finishing, she put down the pencil, applied clear oil, and then brushed red paint into the spaces between the letters.

She cried from exhaustion when she finished. She had never experienced such exhaustion before. Another time, she went out to frame paintings for a customer. She had never seen this job before when she was an apprentice. She wanted to give the job to her master, but her master refused. So she gritted her teeth and did it herself. Every time she had never seen it before, she would call her master to ask how to do it. She finally finished framing the painting, but in the process, she wasted a piece of white plastic film.

First, use a special white glue to attach the flower to the wall, then place a plastic film on top, then fix it with wooden blocks, and finally use a hairdryer to dry it with hot air.

During the summer rainy season, after days of continuous downpours, I returned home to find the walls of my house being torn down and water seeping in. I had to keep pouring water out until midnight! Luckily, my two daughters were staying with Yu Han, and two elderly people came to help take care of them and pick them up from school.
