Chapter 363 Window Paper Pattern
Lan Hui was really not interested in the business. She was too lazy to show up herself, so she sent a manager in charge of wine and beverage production to liaise with Qiao Yanxin.
The order she gave was that whatever Qiao Yanxin said was the final word, and the manager must unconditionally obey Qiao Yanxin's arrangements.
She was only responsible for spending money.
With Lan Hui's strong support, Qiao Yanxin's work went much more smoothly.
First, small bottles of wine were launched, each bottle was only 350 ml.
The price of a small bottle of wine is naturally lower, so many ordinary people will buy a bottle and take it home to taste it with the mentality of giving it a try.
The wine advertising has been coordinated.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. Qiao Yanxin's belly has become very obvious. She can no longer wear her old clothes and has to wear maternity clothes with wide waists.
And because her belly was so big, she could no longer tie her shoelaces, so all these tasks were left to Ji Yanli.
Ji Yanli never gets tired of taking care of his young wife.
That day, Qiao Yanxin began to frown again.
She always feels that the current wine packaging does not conform to the aesthetic taste of ordinary people.
Qin Xiaoyu handed her a thick stack of design sketches for her to review.
"Sister-in-law, these were all designed with the help of classmates from the Academy of Fine Arts. Take a look at them again. Is there really no suitable one?"
Qiao Yanxin shook her head: "These designs are too exquisite, suitable for high-end business routes, but we are now selling wine to ordinary people, and the packaging must conform to the aesthetic taste of ordinary people.
Let’s think about it again. ”
Qin Xiaoyu: “Well, think about it again.
Sister-in-law, don't be too anxious. ”
"Um."
Suddenly, Qiao Yanxin held her stomach and laughed.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"The two little guys are fighting in my stomach again, kicking me."
Qin Xiaoyu bent over and smiled at Qiao Yanxin's belly and said, "If you two dare to bully your mother again, I will let your uncle beat you up."
Qiao Yanxin smiled with her eyebrows curved.
"They seem to be two lively little guys."
Qin Xiaoyu added, "Sister-in-law, don't think too much. Go home and lie down for a while. Xiang Yuan and I will go to the store to keep an eye on it this afternoon."
Qiao Yanxin did not refuse. After entering the second trimester of pregnancy, she felt more and more sleepy and had to take a nap at noon every day.
My energy is really limited.
After returning home, I lay on the bed, still thinking about wine packaging.
At this moment, her eyes naturally fell on the paper-cut on the window.
The window decorations that Chen Ma cut for the New Year are still pasted on the glass. Ji Yanli said they looked festive, so he hasn't taken them down.
There are two chubby cute little babies pasted on the window, with lotus flowers under their feet, which looks festive and beautiful.
Qiao Yan suddenly had an idea. How could she forget that ordinary people like festive things?
An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he quickly stood up, put on his slippers, and went out to find Chen Ma.
"Mother Chen, Mother Chen!"
Old Mrs. Ji was sitting in the living room sewing tiger-head shoes. When she saw Qiao Yanxin coming out in a hurry, she hurriedly said, "Slow down, slow down, my ancestor, have you forgotten that you have two little ancestors in your belly again?"
Qiao Yanxin sat down next to Old Madam Ji and asked, "Grandma, where is Aunt Chen?"
"Mother Chen made two boxes of snacks that your mother likes today. I'm sending them to your mother now. What's the emergency?
I'll call and ask Aunt Chen to come back. ”
Qiao Yanxin: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll look for her when Aunt Chen comes back."
Qiao Yan already had some preliminary ideas in his mind, so he rushed into the study, grabbed a pen, spread out paper, and started drawing.
He planned to design some festive and pleasing wine packaging drawings based on the paper-cuts made by Chen Ma.
Qiao Yanxin is an excellent painter. After more than half an hour, several lifelike paper-cut patterns appeared on the paper.
She took a few glances at it herself and felt very satisfied, so she took it out for Old Lady Ji to look at.
Old Mrs. Ji also smiled and said, "Not bad, very adorable, but these two dolls are a little too thin, they would look better if they were a little fatter."
Qiao Yanxin looked at the two chubby little babies on the paper and thought that they were already fat enough.
However, he still accepted Mrs. Li's suggestion, returned to the study, and drew two fatter dolls.
The faces of these two little babies are almost spherical, with round eyes and pouting mouths. One little baby is holding a big fat fish, and the other little baby is holding a handful of lotus.
After finishing the drawing, she looked at it carefully and unexpectedly discovered that the chubby little doll was indeed cuter.
He immediately took it out and showed it to Old Lady Ji.
The more Mrs. Li looked at it, the happier she became. She smiled and said, "I like fat babies. Look at this piglet-like baby. It's so cute. You can tell at a glance that it's blessed!"
Qiao Yanxin also smiled so hard that her eyes curved. How could she not have thought that in this era when material wealth has gradually increased, the Chinese people, who are used to being hungry, do prefer those chubby and plump children.
After delivering the pastries to Gu Haitang, Aunt Chen ran to the vegetable market to buy fresh meat and fish, and then hurried back to the Ji family.
As soon as Mrs. Li saw her, she smiled and said, "You are finally back. Yan Xin has been waiting for you for a long time."
Chen Ma thought Qiao Yanxin was hungry, so she said, "Yanxin said last night that she wanted to eat beef today. I sent some cakes to Teacher Gu and went to the market to buy beef, which delayed her time.
I'll go cook now. ”
Mrs. Li: "Don't rush to cook. Yan Xin wants to see you for something else. Go to the study to see her."
Aunt Chen put down the basket of vegetables and went into the study.
Qiao Yanxin hurriedly took her hand and pulled her into the house.
"Mother Chen, look at these paintings, which one do you like better?"
Mother Chen smiled and said, "I thought you were hungry, but it turns out you wanted me to look at the paintings."
After taking a closer look, she pointed at the picture of the fat baby that looked like a piglet and said, "These two little guys are so cute. Look, their little faces are so round and cute. If anyone had two grandchildren like these, they would wake up laughing in their dreams."
Only then did Qiao Yanxin believe that ordinary people really liked fat babies more.
"Mother Chen, you are good at handicrafts. I would like you to help me cut a paper-cut based on these two fat dolls."
Chen Ma said in confusion: "Window paper-cuts are only put up during the Chinese New Year. Why are you cutting this during a non-Chinese New Year?"
"I'm useful, can you help me cut it?"
Qiao Yanxin's voice was soft, with a hint of coquettishness.
Chen Ma said quickly, "Okay, okay, I'll help you cut it. I'll cut as much as you want."
As he spoke, he took out red paper and a pair of scissors and cut a few window paper-cuts according to the drawings drawn by Qiao Yanxin.
Qiao Yanxin looked at the window paper-cut again and again and was very satisfied.
She took out a bottle of red wine with a box from the cabinet, pasted the window paper-cut on the wine box, and looked at it again. It suddenly had a folk flavor and looked much more down-to-earth.
Mrs. Li also helped to comment: "It is indeed very good. If I see this kind of window-cut red wine in a store, I will definitely buy a bottle to try."
Mother Chen also nodded and said, "Don't mention it, it's really quite festive."
Qiao Yanxin: "Mother Chen, this is all thanks to you."
After receiving Qiao Yanxin's affirmation, Chen Ma became even more interested and volunteered.
"Yanxin, there are many window decorations in my hometown, they are all very festive and beautiful.
How about I cut them all out and you can refer to them? ”
Qiao Yan was eager to do so and said quickly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Chen."
Mother Chen held the scissors in one hand and the red paper in the other and started cutting skillfully.
I cut a lot of pieces, big and small.
There are magpies climbing on plum trees, mandarin ducks playing in the water, dragons and phoenixes bringing good luck, and lions rolling embroidered balls...
There are also window grilles with patterns of rich peonies, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
There are fruit window cut-outs of the four seasons, such as watermelon, pumpkin, peach, pomegranate, etc., which symbolize a good harvest.
There are also blessing characters, window decorations, double happiness, blessing, wealth, longevity, and other window decorations...
Qiao Yanxin was simply stunned. She had never expected that there were so many patterns for window paper-cuts. Suddenly, she had many more choices.
