Chapter 831 Handicraft
"Really? Sister-in-law, this is very troublesome, right?"
Mei Zi's eyes lit up for a second, but soon became hesitant and embarrassed:
"Why not just forget it..."
"It's a small thing, don't worry!"
Lu Miao smiled and pulled her to sit down at the table.
Mei Zi couldn't contain her joy, and with sparkling eyes she chose the small white and purple flower patterns.
Lu Miao did not hide the beads from Mei Zi.
Mei Zi watched from the side for a while and realized something:
"Sister-in-law, are we going to have new styles in our store?"
"I have this idea, but I haven't decided yet. Let's wait and see."
Lu Miao spoke conservatively, but Mei Zi seemed impatient:
"Sister-in-law, just sell this! It's okay, it definitely works! It's really beautiful, really!"
Lu Miao looked at Mei Zi with a smile and an angry look.
Mei Zi grabbed her arm and shook her:
"What I said is true. This one looks more exquisite than many other hair ties. It will definitely sell for money. If all else fails, why don't we make some and try it out?"
Lu Miao smiled and sighed, then changed his tone and said:
"Then why don't you learn from me?"
"Um!"
Mei Zi's expression couldn't be faked. Lu Miao actually had some ideas just now.
It's just that she is very busy now, and she has to take some time out from time to time to take care of the family and spend time with the children, so she can't do many things by herself.
If Mei Zi could join in, we could at least have some output every day.
If you gather up some things and send them to the store, they won’t be gone after selling two.
The sky in the first month of the lunar year was still a little foggy, and the light in the house was not very good.
Lu Miao asked Mei Zi to turn on the light in the office, cut a piece of fishing line for her, and started moving with her.
There are many similarities in the handicrafts.
The main point is that it requires one to be careful.
While stringing the beads just now, Lu Miao realized a little bit of the pattern.
Mei Zi had just taken over, and she didn't take her to try any complicated tricks.
Just take her to make the five-petal flower that she wore just now.
"The colors and styles can't be completely consistent across the board. It's okay if you can't adjust the style when you're just starting out, but you should occasionally try to mix the colors yourself."
Lu Miao held up a string of beads and gestured to guide:
"I taught you about color schemes when I made the hair tie before. Be brave and don't worry about wasting money. It won't waste anything. If it doesn't work, just cut it and start over. Fishing line comes in huge rolls."
Mei Zi was probably a good student. She stared at the movements of her hands, but did not forget to nod her head obediently and seriously.
Lu Miao smiled with relief, and continued to move his fingertips:
"A ring is a small piece, and it doesn't take much effort to make one. Look at it like this... If you put it back on like this, tie a knot, shorten it, and adjust it, the beads won't fall apart. It's very sturdy."
Lu Miao handed the finished product to Mei Zi to see.
Mei Zi looked at it carefully and said to her:
"Sister-in-law, if I keep wearing it like this and change the size of my fingers to the size of my wrists, can I string it into a bracelet?"
Lu Miao nodded: "Some simple styles can be done this way, while more complicated styles require exquisiteness, and something else will be added in the middle and at the end."
Mei Zi tilted her head and thought for a while, then finally nodded.
"I know, sister-in-law!"
If my sister-in-law says so, it means my nephew can do it.
Mei Zi was no longer in a hurry.
Once she gets familiar with it, her sister-in-law will definitely teach her.
Mei Zi was neither arrogant nor impatient. She lowered her head and slowly strung the beads together.
Lu Miao watched for a while and saw that she was patient and composed.
I tore two pieces of paper into a small box and helped her match a few colors.
Mei Zi was stringing rings on the side.
Lu Miao took out a pen, calculated in his head, and roughly drew small circles on the paper.
Finally, draw a curve that goes between the circles.
The circles are beads and the curves are fishing line.
Because I just started beading, I am not that proficient in it yet.
So I sketched out my thought process and took a look at it whenever I had some free time. It roughly serves as a self-reminder...
After finishing the sketch, Lu Miao closed the pen cap and started working.
With rings comes bracelets.
If you have a bracelet, you will have a necklace.
The same stringing method, rice beads are a feeling.
Pearls and other special-shaped beads give a different feeling when strung together.
Lu Miao spent the entire afternoon in the factory yard.
She strung together two necklaces, four bracelets and several rings, and each one of them amazed Mei Zi.
Although it is not real jewelry or jade, it is still quite exquisite and unique compared to the "jewelry" available to the public at this stage.
Mei Zi found it hard to believe that a single ordinary-looking bead could have such clear color and texture when strung into a ring.
When strung into bracelets and necklaces, they look so delicate and noble.
She didn't dare touch the beautiful things because they looked very expensive and she was afraid of breaking them.
Handicrafts are addictive, especially when they are recognized.
Mei Zi's fuss provided Lu Miao with sufficient emotional value.
She smiled, picked out the color Mei Zi liked, took Mei Zi's hand, and put the pearl and purple beaded one on her.
"Each material looks ordinary when viewed alone. What's important is how to combine them. Take your time and you can do it too."
Mei Zi nodded in surprise, and then realized what was happening, just like undoing the clasp of a bracelet:
"Sister-in-law, this is too valuable! I'd better keep it and sell it..."
Before she could even utter the word "bar", Lu Miao pressed her hand down and said angrily:
"No pushing."
Mei Zi met her gaze, pursed her lips, nodded obediently, and indeed stopped refusing.
Lu Miao was satisfied.
It was getting dark outside, and Lu Miao packed up his things simply, taking away the finished beads and some materials.
Most of the others were left here, and Mei Zi was asked to lock the door when entering and exiting, and use them at her own discretion.
Plum Chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, accompanying her all the way to the gate of the yard.
Watching Lu Miao walk away, Mei Zi lifted her sleeve to look at the bracelet.
Such a beautiful bracelet, the ones sold in department stores can’t even compare to this one.
Such a valuable thing, my sister-in-law gave it to her just like that...
Her sister-in-law really treats her well, so she can't let her sister-in-law down.
Mei Zi rolled up her sleeves and went into the house:
"You can go home from work today. Come early tomorrow and get your wages before you go back to work."
"Okay~"
The factory yard was filled with rustling sounds as the day's work ended.
On the other side, the Fu family courtyard.
The mechanical and electrical factory has finalized the new unit address and will move outside the West Third Ring Road.
The state has approved the construction projects, and large trucks have been transporting construction materials to the outside of the West Third Ring Road every day recently.
There has to be manual guarding there every day.
As the deputy factory director of the management team, Fu Jingyou would go over to take a look from time to time.
When Lu Miao returned home, Fu Jingyou had not returned yet.
After dinner, he helped the children wash their hands and faces, and only came back to this room after almost all of them had been arranged to lie down on the kang.
