Chapter 227: Limited Talent

Chi Jiaojiao looked at Yu Rutang for help. Yu Rutang smiled and said, "Look, I'm useless. Look at Chi Chi. She's an expert in this area. Let her give you advice."

That makes sense.

Chi Jiaojiao smiled at Yi Chichi and said, "Comrade Yi, thank you for your help."

This means leaving the problem to her to solve.

"Then let's talk."

"good."

So, Yi Chichi started chatting with her.

Then, she discovered that Chi Jiaojiao was a treasure girl who had her own ideas and independent thoughts and personality. Although she looked cold and lovable, she was actually gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

She actually prefers pants to skirts.

Yi Chichi knew what was going on. "Did you bring the fabric?"

"At Tangtang's house."

She smiled sheepishly, "I brought a lot of fabrics, and I don't know what kind you can make, so I thought I'd decide on the style before choosing the fabrics."

There are too many main ones and it’s hard to pick them all.

“Can I see the picture first?”

"Can."

Her drawing tools were kept in the team doctor's room, so it was not difficult for Yi Chichi to produce the design draft on the spot.

"Wait a moment, I'll get the drawing tools."

"good."

Two minutes later, Yi Chichi, who had packed his equipment, sat down at the table and started drawing a sketch in front of the two of them.

As early as when he was sure that Chi Jiaojiao liked trousers, Yi Chichi had a preliminary idea of ​​the style and automatically simulated the pattern in his mind.

What she needs to do now is to use a brush to draw the figures simulated in her mind.

The pen tip moved across the paper, and the sleeves, collar and other parts took shape one after another. Yu Rutang and Chi Jiaojiao watched without blinking.

Suddenly, Chi Jiaojiao stretched out a finger and gently poked Yu Rutang. When Yu Rutang looked over, she slightly raised her chin and nodded at Yi Chichi who was concentrating on drawing. She asked in an almost whispered tone, "Has she learned to paint?"

Yu Rutang, "It's very obvious."

It is impossible for one to have such sophisticated and skillful painting skills without learning. Anyway, among all the people she knows, Yi Chichi is the best painter.

“I remember you learned it too.”

"Um."

Chi Jiaojiao nodded, "But my talent is limited. I have only learned the basics after so many years of study."

When she is not holding a paintbrush, she is the darling of her grandparents, but when she holds a paintbrush, she becomes a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved in the eyes of her grandparents.

There have been cases where it is impossible to prop up a piece of rotten mud.

Thinking of her grandparents' evaluation of her talent for painting, she said with great emotion, "It would be perfect if Comrade Yi was in Harbin."

These nonsensical words not only confused Yu Rutang, but Yi Chichi was not much better either.

She wondered, "Why am I perfect in Harbin?"

"I can introduce you to my grandparents as a student."

Chi Jiaojiao answered smoothly, but only realized something was wrong after she finished speaking. This was not Tangtang's voice.

She lowered her eyes to look at Yi Chichi and found that she was still drawing. She had already finished the top and was now drawing the pants. She was stunned.

"How do you draw so fast?"

"The sketches don't take long."

It takes a long time to refine the pictures, but the payment has been taken now, and we will refine and finalize the pictures after she confirms the payment.

As they were talking, the first picture was finished, and Yi Chichi started drawing the second one.

Chi Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. She thought there was only one model, but it turns out there are several models?

Yu Rutang also came over and watched Chi Jiaojiao intently as she drew five designs in one breath.

"Okay, pick from here."

After quickly marking the numbers on the drawings, Yi Chichi put down his pen and handed them over.

The two of them got together to look at and discuss each picture.

Then--

"3, I think number 3 looks the best and suits you best."

This is Yu Rutang.

Chi Jiaojiao had a similar opinion to her, but except for 3, she also liked the rest.

After a lot of struggle, she said something shocking, "Comrade Yi, can I make all five?"

"What the hell?"

Before Yi Chichi could do anything, Yu Rutang was shocked and asked, "All five? Do you know how much it would cost to ask her to make five sets of clothes?"

Yes, we haven’t discussed the price yet.

Chi Jiaojiao subconsciously held her pocket tightly and looked at Yi Chichi with vigilance, "Comrade Yi, if I make all five models, how much will it cost?"

"Except for models 3 and 5 which are more expensive, the remaining three models cost thirty yuan per set."

"How much are 3 and 5?"

Yi Chichi smiled and said, "No. 3 is 120, No. 5 is 220."

Chi Jiaojiao thought the price was okay, lower than she expected, but——

"Why does Tangtang's work cost 300 yuan?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The embroidery has a complex pattern, and it's a phoenix."

Even though the phoenix was not a complete one, and only had its crown, pendant, neck, main tail feathers and tail eyes embroidered on it, one cannot deny that its embroidery was intricate.

"Please make a few more skirts, the kind that are suitable for older lesbians to wear."

Yi Chichi waved his hand and refused, "If it's the style you want, I can sell it, but I won't accept anything else."

"Why?"

Chi Jiaojiao was puzzled. Why didn't he do the business that was delivered to his door? Was it because money was not valuable?

Yu Rutang was also curious.

“No size.”

Yi Chichi explained with a smile, "I haven't met him, so I can't customize it according to your personal situation. If you just want to make new clothes, you don't need me. You can just find an old craftsman from a state-owned tailor shop to do it."

That's true.

Chi Jiaojiao asked, "Do I have to bring the person to you?"

Yi Chichi smiled and shook his head.

"Really can't do it?"

She could certainly do it, but she also had some double-sided embroidery work on hand and didn't want to take on too many jobs and stretch her schedule.

It’s almost time to take over Chi Jiaojiao’s job.

Remember that you can't digest too much if you bite off more than you can chew.

Time must be allocated well.

"Feel sorry."

She refused again.

Chi Jiaojiao had completely given up and could only discuss her own clothes with her.

The original plan was to make all five models, but after being persuaded by Yi Chichi, she gave up models 1 and 4 and finally decided on models 2, 3 and 5.

Looking at the three garments she had decided on, Yi Chichi picked out No. 5 and said, "The fabric required for this one is a bit special."

"What's the special method?"

“I want something that has a strong drape.”

"I have."

When she heard the phrase "strong drape", Chi Jiaojiao's mind instantly popped up the smoky gray fabric she brought with her, "But the color is smoky gray, is that okay?"

“That’s great.”

Yi Chichi was very surprised when she heard this. She immediately planned three colors for the No. 5 model, namely black, white and gray.

Other colors are not suitable and are hard to find in this day and age, so it’s impossible to use a similar color as a substitute.

Only black, white, gray, navy blue, green and red are the mainstream colors today.

There is less red, and even less pure red.

The remaining colors are quite common.

There is no way. People who love military uniforms instead of red dresses, and who love work clothes instead of military uniforms, all come from this period.

"For size 5, choose smoke gray and wear a white shirt. Cotton or satin fabrics are fine, but silk fabrics are even better."

Chi Jiaojiao nodded and asked her, "Is Hangzhou silk okay?"

Yi Chichi raised his eyebrows. Who was this girl? Why did she feel more powerful than the one Yu Rutang married?
