Yi Chichi, a descendant of intangible cultural heritage embroidery, transmigrated into a small pitiful character of the same name and surname in the era.
Scumbag father and poisonous stepmoth...
Chapter 66: Can embroider better than bees
Yu Rutang can't embroider, but she has a first-class aesthetic sense and can tell the quality of embroidery.
Her mother and aunt all knew how to embroider, but the finished products had no artistic value at all and were dull and stiff.
Unlike the bee embroidered by Yi Chichi, which is so lifelike that it can be mistaken for the real thing.
"You're right, your embroidery is really great!"
She praised with a look of amazement, and was extremely glad that she had listened to her aunt and taken this trip with the mentality of trying everything possible.
Yi Chichi smiled and said, "I am a professional in embroidery."
"Um."
Yu Rutang nodded and invited her with a smile, "Can we talk about it in detail?"
"Can."
So, Yi Chichi said hello to Liu Lan and the others, and then led Yu Rutang and Aunt Ma into the house.
Yu Rutang was probably really anxious. Before Yi Chichi brought the tea, he went straight to the point and said, "My aunt should have told you that I want to make clothes for my wedding."
"Yes."
Yi Chichi nodded, handed her the tea, and sat opposite her, "You can tell me your request."
Thinking of the current environment, she gently reminded, "It should be within the policy limits and not overdo it."
Not only will Yu Rutang be in trouble, she might also be implicated.
In this day and age, if you get involved with feudalism, capitalism, and revisionism, there will definitely be no good ending.
In the tide of history, individual power is insignificant.
Yi has never thought of going against the general environment and attempting to challenge the entire social value system on his own.
“I understand!”
Yu Rutang nodded in response to her good intention and said with a smile, "But you don't have to worry too much. The person I married is quite capable."
Worried that Yi Chi would not relent and refuse to take her job, she dipped her finger in water and wrote a few words on the table.
After reading it, Yi Chichi finally put his mind at ease, but he still had to be cautious.
"Try not to go out of line."
Don't expect a proper wedding dress, embroidered shoes, or a phoenix coronet. It's enough to wear a red dress, a pair of small leather shoes, and some embroidery on the hem of your skirt or clothes.
The patterns have to be chosen carefully, they must conform to the current mainstream thinking and also be beautiful.
It will take some thought to make this deal a success.
Yu Rutang nodded to show that he understood.
"Let's talk about styles. My aunt said you can make clothes."
"meeting."
Yi Chi Chi was not vague and asked, "When is your wedding date?"
"The twenty-sixth day of the fourth month of the new year."
Yi Chichi calculated the time and found that it was about half a year, which was plenty of time.
Nearly six months is enough to complete a folding screen embroidery, not to mention a piece of clothing that is mainly made of clothing with embroidery as a supplement.
"Where's the fabric?"
"I brought the fabric."
Before she finished speaking, she unbuttoned her military coat, took out a bundle from it and opened it, revealing a piece of soft silver-red silk.
When Yi Chichi saw the cloth, he frowned. There was nothing wrong with the cloth, and there was nothing wrong with the color. The problem was that the color was not suitable for Yu Rutang.
With her looks and temperament, she is suitable for the colors Autumn Fragrance or Pine Green, and Sunny After the Rain can also be an alternative.
Only silver-red is inappropriate as it is too frivolous.
Aunt Ma knew her well, and when she saw her frowning, she was shocked, "Why, you can't do this job?"
"It can be done."
"Then your expression..."
She hesitated, "Is there something wrong with the fabric?"
"The fabric is fine."
Yi Chichi was too lazy to play the question-and-answer game, so he looked up at Yu Rutang and said, "Comrade Yu, are you sure you want to use this piece of fabric to make clothes for your wedding day?"
Yu Rutang, who was originally very sure, became uncertain after her question, "Then I won't do it?"
Yi Chichi's mouth twitched. What's wrong with him? How can his willpower be so weak?
It is impossible not to do it. How would she make money if she didn't do it?
"I mean, you could change the fabric or the color."
She had made it so clear. If Yu Rutang still didn't understand what she meant, then she would have to give up on this deal.
Doing business with stupid people is too risky, no matter how powerful your husband's family is.
Fortunately, Yu Rutang was a smart man and changed his words decisively, "Then change it."
Then he stretched out his hand to Aunt Ma, "Aunt, give me the bag."
Then, Yi Chichi saw Aunt Ma take out a bundle from her chest using the same process as Yu Rutang, and inside was a piece of bright red cloth.
The texture is crisp, neither too thick nor too thin, suitable for windbreakers and skirts.
“This is fine.”
Yu Rutang finally let go of her worries. Fortunately, she was smart. She thought about it and wore the cloth when she came.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Do both at once."
Pointing to the silver-red soft silk, she said, "After I make this, I'll wear it at home for fun after I get married."
This means not to wear it outside.
This is ok.
So, in the following time, Yi Chichi discussed the styles with her.
I also drew several sketches, all of which were drawn in pencil.
Yu Rutang was quite satisfied with the design, but she felt a little uneasy without being able to see the complete design. She was always worried that it would not look good and would affect her image on her wedding day.
Yi was at a loss, "I don't have any drawing tools. If I had them, I could probably make a complete design."
Yu Rutang stared at her for a long while, "Can you guarantee that your embroidery can reach the same level as the bees?"
"If I were fully equipped, I could embroider better than a bee."
What's a bee? It's all embroidered with cotton thread, not even cloth.
With silk and fine thread, the flowers she embroiders can attract butterflies to linger and bees to come and collect nectar.
She once embroidered a picture of a peacock spreading its tail, which stimulated the blue peacock at home to spread its tail.
"Your words are enough. I'll arrange the painting tools and embroidery."
Yu Rutang is a smart man. He knows that with Yi Chichi's current status as an educated youth, there are many things he cannot do and he has no way to do them.
She is different. She found a good family as a local. Bao'an County is not in a good situation, but it is not that bad either.
Some things are much easier for her to do.
"Can."
"Then my aunt and I will leave first. Come back when I have everything ready."
Before she finished speaking, she pulled Aunt Ma and was about to leave.
It was done very swiftly, without even taking any fabric.
Yi Chichi was so frightened that he quickly called the man back and said, "Take Bu away."
"It's the same with you."
"No, you have to take the cloth away!"
Yi Chichi dragged the person away and wouldn't let him leave. She would never help keep the person until the deal was finally settled.
This piece of bright red cloth has limited value, and she can afford to pay for it if something goes wrong.
Soft smoke silk is different. It is obviously an old material that is well preserved. It is impossible for only wealthy families to have it.
The person who can give this kind of material to Yu Rutang and is willing to make her into clothes to wear on her wedding day will have a stronger foundation.
This foundation refers to all aspects.
Such people are not short of money or connections, but they attach great importance to face.
If something really goes wrong, it’s not as simple as just paying money.
She doesn't want to cause trouble.
In this business with Yu Rutang, she was very clear about her positioning. To put it nicely, she was an exclusive designer, but to put it bluntly, she was just a garment maker.
