Chapter 673 Learning Tailoring
Chen Qing was afraid that Wu Zhenggang would misunderstand, so he immediately explained: "Master Wu, I'm sorry, I'm not an employee of your factory."
Comrade Xiaoyao opened his mouth slightly.
His aunt lied to him!
Wu Zhenggang, with his insightful eyes, calmly regarded the uninvited guest. "Excuse me, who is this comrade? What do you want from me?"
Chen Qing bowed slightly, his tone respectful and frank. "Excuse me for disturbing your peace. My name is Chen Qing, and I work at the Guangdong Shengxia Sportswear Factory. Senior Lin Leyu from our factory specially introduced you to me. I came here without a letter of introduction this time. I came here purely as a student, hoping to meet you and listen to your guidance."
She carries a cloth bag with her at all times.
The bag contained not only paper and pen, but also drawings.
Wu Zhenggang matched the person in the newspaper with the real Chen Qing. When he heard her mention Lin Leyu, his attitude became more friendly: "Leyu introduced you here. Please sit down and I'll pour you some tea."
The bedroom suite in the old villa was converted into three bedrooms and a living room, and the area combining the dining room and the living room became crowded. This also resulted in a lot of storage space in Master Wu's home. He opened the drawer under his eldest grandson's desk, which was filled with tea leaves, and he began to make tea for Chen Qing.
Chen Qing sat properly.
Xiao Yao stepped forward and asked her, "Are you Chen Qing?"
Chen Qing smiled and nodded: "I am Chen Qing."
"I read the Canton Fair newspaper this year and I met Xiaoyu! She said you were her aunt. Did you bring her here to play?" Xiaoyao asked boldly.
His grandfather, parents are all tailors, so the whole family is very concerned about the developments in the clothing industry. For example, the newspapers about the excess orders of the Shengxia Sportswear Factory at this year's Canton Fair were posted in his parents' room. He always looked at them, and as he looked at them, he got to know the four people in the newspaper.
My brother likes He Yuxiang.
I think he is handsome!
A man should be handsome!
He likes Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu has a very cute smile.
He wants to be friends with Xiaoyu.
Chen Qing: "No, she went to the countryside."
"Going to the countryside?"
"Yes, one of her classmates' family was busy with farming, but her grandparents had some health problems, so she, her brother, and their friends went to the countryside to help."
"Isn't it tiring to go to the countryside?"
Xiaoyao remembers that his parents always mentioned going to the countryside as if it were a disaster.
After my cousin went to the countryside, she lost a lot of weight and looked older than my mother, which made her family afraid of going to the countryside.
Even Master Wu, who was making tea, looked over.
Chen Qing said: "It's very tiring to go to the countryside, but she went with a group of friends, and Xiaoyu is very strong and can hold on. She feels okay at the moment."
Xiaoyao seemed to understand but not quite.
Master Wu said: "It's good to go to the countryside and experience it."
His home was destroyed by a bomb, and he had no choice but to come to Hai City to make a living. He used to be a rural person, and farming work was not hard for him, but the hard part was not getting any harvest.
He is not clear about the current situation in rural areas.
People are also good and bad.
He absolutely hated those villages that bullied girls from other places!!
Master Wu's wife also came back from shopping. When she entered the house and saw a woman at home, she asked curiously, "Are you the one sent by the factory committee to visit us?"
In order to prevent his eldest granddaughter from going to the countryside to be abused by a scumbag, Old Wu gave the job to his eldest granddaughter.
My son and daughter-in-law have no objection.
But the people in the factory have objections!
Because the granddaughter was a new recruit, the master was replaced.
But the factory is unwilling to set a precedent for re-employment.
Currently wasting time here.
On the one hand, let Lao Wu work to contribute to the country.
On the one hand, Lao Wu was not paid.
When Chen Qing heard Master Wu's lover ask this, he repeated his identity.
Wu Xiuzhen said enthusiastically, "Then stay for lunch."
"No, no, I'm here just to ask Master Wu some questions." Chen Qing didn't want to be the impolite person.
Wu Xiuzhen smiled and said, "It's okay. We are both in the clothing industry. I will call my son and daughter-in-law back later. They are both in sales, so I can ask you for some advice."
She said that.
Chen Qing couldn't refuse.
Master Wu also asked her, "What specific issue did Director Chen come to me to discuss?"
Chen Qing directly took out the blueprints and said, "Master Wu, these are some design drawings we prepared for next year's Canton Fair. They look new, but I always feel like they're missing something. They're like a beauty without a skeleton, unable to stand up straight. Please take a look and tell me what's wrong with them."
This batch of design drawings were all drawn by people in the design department.
She and Lin Leyu both have a fatal problem.
You can draw your own draft.
You can also give guidance to others on their drawings.
But when it comes to the samples, the clothes they make will be different. The two of them are always correcting them, but there is no way to give precise guidance.
Both of them took it for granted.
This shouldn't be bad.
Why are the samples they make so different!
This also caused a lot of headaches for both of them.
It is so difficult to train designers! !
Master Wu opened the door of the workshop.
There is a diagram of the human body proportions hanging on the wall and the table is covered with chalk.
Chen Qing also keenly noticed a piece of calligraphy on the wall that read "The plate is the bone, the material is the flesh, and the soul lies in the measure."
It seemed that she had also heard this from a big shot.
Master Wu said, "My wife is a doctor and loves the human body. My tailoring skills have improved because of her pursuit."
Wu Xiuzhen, who was standing to the side, blushed: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Just tell it to the kids at home.
Even outsiders come and brag.
This made her feel very embarrassed.
Chen Qingxing looked at the two elders with starry eyes: "You two have such a good relationship."
Wu Xiuzhen waved her hand: "It's just life."
Master Wu looked at his wife for a while and asked Chen Qing for the blueprint.
Chen Qing handed over the drawings with both hands.
Master Wu shook his head slightly and pointed to a diagram of the human body proportions. "This is the trapezius muscle, and this is the deltoid muscle. You only cared about the appearance of this line, but you didn't consider how the fabric would be stressed when the person moves. A good tailor should be able to see the living bones and muscles under the clothes. You can't do that."
He went to get his own drawing and pointed at the figure's hunched back and raised arms.
“When I was young, I spent ten years painting people at docks, in alleys, and in parks. You see, when a person moves, his muscles, bones, and skin change.
Your clothes should change accordingly.
The reason you add a dart here is not to slim the waist, but to leave enough room for the arms to move. Here, the fabric should be pre-shrunk an inch more to prevent deformation after strenuous exercise.
Design is not about drawing, it is about giving people a layer of moving skin.”
Chen Qing stood there obediently.
She was really taught.
Master Wu said without reservation, "Clothes worn by cadres should be crisp and upright, clothes worn by workers should be durable and flexible, and clothes worn by girls should be playful and show off their figure. A piece of clothing is only what it deserves when it is worn by the right person."
