Chapter 65 Beautiful, come alive!
Yi Chichi was worried, as if everyone had something to do except her.
Otherwise, she could go to the team doctor's office to get some herbs to make ointment?
But the work I made last time hasn’t been used yet, and if I make another one now, I have no place to put it and it’s not easy to preserve.
After thinking it over, she gave up the idea of messing with Uncle Yaozi's medicinal herbs.
Fortunately, Liu Lan persevered and came to her to learn embroidery.
It was a rare sunny day. Yi Chichi sat at the door of the team doctor's office and drew embroidery patterns for Liu Lan and the others as requested.
"What kind do you want?"
“The kind that is simple, beautiful and easy to embroider.”
Yi Chichi was speechless when she heard this request. She thought about it and picked up a pen to draw a picture of orchid.
Since there was no paint or watercolor, I could only sketch.
But it does not affect the spirit and realism of the orchid at all.
“You draw really well.”
Watching her start and end her painting, Liu Lan almost sighed, "At this moment, I finally understand why my grandma said that good embroiderers are masters in painting."
Yi Chichi smiled and said, "Your grandma is quite understanding."
This is true. When she first learned embroidery, she learned painting and embroidery together. She needed to cultivate sensitivity to colors, structure and sense of space of the work, etc.
She had studied fine brushwork and oil painting under famous teachers and had done quite well. The two teachers had always wanted to poach her and encourage her to develop in the painting world.
Because of this, her grandmother almost cut off all contact with her two old friends.
Liu Lan rolled her eyes without any image, "I have seen the world."
"I'm so sorry."
Yi hesitated to get to the bottom of it, smiled and joked, then pointed at the sketch on the desk, "How about this?"
Liu Lan and the others stared at the orchid for a while and thought it was okay.
It looks quite simple and not too difficult.
Just a little bit——
“How do I create a sense of layering when embroidering the colors of orchid leaves?”
This is about how to embroider the change of color from dark to light or from light to dark.
Yi Chichi was silent. How could she teach him? Splitting silk?
It's unrealistic! The cotton thread used is not of very good quality.
Not to mention whether the cotton thread can be split successfully, even if it is split successfully, the glossiness of the cotton thread is much worse than that of the silk thread.
Only experienced embroiderers can create the different changes in color of the finished product under different directions of light.
"I can't explain it clearly right away. I'll embroider one for you to see."
This is possible.
Then, a group of people watched her sort the cotton thread, and then she pulled out a green thread and split it into several parts with great skill, and then she threaded the needle and placed the first stitch on the cotton cloth.
Yu Qingqing rolled her eyes, silently picked up a thread and imitated her to split the silk.
Naturally, it cannot succeed.
After breaking two wires in a row, she sighed and said, "This technique is beyond the ability of most people."
Liu Lan's little sister Liu Xiao looked desperate and said, "I don't think I can learn this."
Aunt Guihua's daughter Liu Yu smiled and said, "Learn as much as you can. Anyway, we can make clothes and shoes."
Don't ask for too much else.
There are only a few women in the surrounding villages who are good at embroidery.
"Don't whisper. If you want to learn, learn it well."
Yi Chi Chi gave the instructions without even raising his head, and everyone immediately responded obediently.
Just follow along with your eyes wide open and the more you watch, the simpler it seems, and the less difficult it seems.
Instantly, Liu Lan's confidence exploded, "Chi Chi, I think I have learned it."
"ah?"
Yi Chichi paused, turned his head and looked over, "Have you learned it?"
So fast?
"Um."
Nod, or nod together.
Yi Chichi felt that something was wrong. Liu Lan said that she had learned it, so she could still believe it. Yu Qingqing and the others...
It’s not that she looks down on them, but they are too untalented in embroidery.
"You guys learned it too?"
She couldn't believe it.
"Why, we can't just learn it, can we?!"
Yu Qingqing was quite dissatisfied with her question and said with a frown, "This is actually not that difficult."
What a brazen tone.
What can Yi Chichi do? She can only let them practice and gain true knowledge.
"Then you guys get started."
Whether you have learned something or not is not determined by what you say, but by the finished product.
The finished product is successful, which means you have learned something.
The finished product was unsuccessful...
Never mind, let’s just hope they succeed.
However, dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Before Yu Qingqing and her friends could come up with any real insights from their practice, the orchid leaves they had embroidered turned into a mess.
The lines were piled together, uneven.
Yi Chi Chi's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Who taught you to insert the needle like this?"
"I learned it from you."
Liu Yu had a reason, "When you were embroidering just now, you were embroidering from this point to that point, and then from that point to this point, and..."
She talked incessantly and went straight into chatterbox mode.
What’s even more terrifying is that she has supporters like Yu Qingqing.
Yi Chichi was speechless after what she said. When he was thinking about how to retort her, Aunt Ma's voice suddenly came.
"Yi girl, are you free now?"
His voice was loud and he spoke with a smile, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Yi Chichi turned around and just called out "Auntie" when her attention was attracted by the young woman next to her.
This is a great beauty, tall with outstanding features. She is stunningly beautiful, but surprisingly not aggressive, and instead gives people a sense of intimacy.
Very contradictory temperament.
But surprisingly attractive.
This girl perfectly illustrates what it means to be the prettiest person in the crowd.
"Come back to your senses."
Seeing her staring at her eldest niece without blinking, Aunt Ma patted her on the shoulder, feeling both amused and helpless.
Yi Chichi smiled awkwardly, "Hello, auntie, this is..."
His eyes were still fixed on the beautiful lady, she was so beautiful.
How happy it would be if I could look at such a beautiful face while eating.
I’m afraid that even eating coarse grain steamed bread will taste delicious and won’t hurt your throat.
"My eldest niece, Yu Rutang, told you before."
Yi Chichi suddenly realized and remembered that it was his eldest niece who wanted to make a beautiful dress for her wedding.
"Hello, Comrade Yu, I am Yi Chichi."
Beautiful, alive.
She could finally earn some extra money instead of living off her family! "Hello Comrade Yi, my aunt said you can embroider."
After a pause, she added, "It's embroidered quite well."
“Yes, I embroider very well.”
When it comes to his professional field, Yi Chichi is so confident that he seems to be glowing.
Yu Rutang smiled, realizing that people without any ability would not dare to be so confident.
“Do you have any work for me to see?”
"Yes, I have."
Before she finished her words, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it over.
"I made it myself. I embroidered it when I had time. You can take a look."
The handkerchief was made of pure cotton scraps from a department store that were trimmed and then overlocked, with a bee embroidered on it.
When Yu Rutang opened it, he was attracted by the lifelike bee on the handkerchief.
The chubby bee looks furry. She can't describe it specifically, but she can tell whether it is good or bad. It is a bee with both form and spirit, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality and rich colors.
