Chapter 193: Learn to Bow Down
Su Yu heard this and lightly touched the tip of her nose, laughing at herself in self-mockery.
It turned out she was not especially remembered as she had imagined, but rather a small ornament on her person had caught attention.
"I need some high-quality paper and inkbrushes, as I want to draw a design."
"Right away," the waiter replied, and with swift movements, soon brought over a stack of thick, faintly fragrant Xuan paper, along with graphite pens specially made for drawing precise patterns and an iron ruler for measuring.
These tools were neatly arranged, as if quietly waiting for the master’s inspiration to descend.
Su Yu was internally full of praise, for although the prices here were steep, the quality definitely lived up to its reputation, every item could be considered a fine piece.
She immediately immersed herself in her work, the pen tip dancing on the paper, swish, swish, swish, and in a few strokes, she outlined all the forms she had envisioned: the design of the knife handles balanced aesthetics with practicality, the shapes of the knife blades varied, some extremely sharp, others with smooth curves; in addition, there were scissors, tweezers, pliers, needles, hooks, and various other tools, each design marked with precise dimensions, compactly laid out without losing order, filling the entire paper surface.
During this time, the waiter seemed to anticipate that drawing might take a long time, and considerately brought over a plate of snacks and hot tea, providing attentive and meticulous service that made one feel at home.
From this, it was evident that this place was frequented by customers, many of whom came especially to place custom orders for special items.
Finally, when Su Yu set down her pen, time seemed to stop at that moment, leaving only the Dumb Woman’s slightly furrowed brow to hint that this process was not brief.
She handed the weighty design to the waiter, who, upon careful examination, couldn’t help but flash a glimmer of astonishment in his eyes.
