Chapter 60: Dexterity
Qiao Mo expressed her gratitude and went back: she had a lot of things to do and had no time to wait there.
When she returned to the educated youth center, she took out the cloth she had prepared for making cotton-padded clothes and overalls, spread it out on the bed and cut it. Then she took out her needle and thread, moved a stool to the veranda and began to sew.
She has spiritual awareness, and her needlework is extremely good. The stitches are neat and fine, no different from those made by a sewing machine.
"Qiao Mo, your needlework is really good." Tang Xinmei and the others were sitting on the porch chatting, and when they saw her sewing clothes, they came over to watch.
"It's no big deal, it's just practice makes perfect." Qiao Mo said modestly, but she was very proud in her heart. Because of her good craftsmanship, many senior executives in the base asked her to make clothes, and her living standards were improved by more than one level.
"You are so good at sewing at such a young age. It is said that you are clever and dexterous." Hua Lili is a clumsy person. She has learned from her mother at home for several years but has only learned how to sew buttons, make patches, and lock buttonholes. Seeing Qiao Mo sew quickly and quickly, she was really impressed.
"I started learning needlework from my mother when I was eight years old, and learned tailoring when I was ten. After so many years, I can only make clothes for myself. I can't be said to be dexterous at all." Qiao Mo shook his head.
In her previous life, she learned tailoring and embroidery in order to survive. The main reason was that Mu Ling's health was not very good, and she wanted to teach her daughter some life skills as soon as possible. She started to pick up a needle at the age of eight. After arriving at Qiao Shilin's house, Zhang Meiyu treated her as a free tailor and gave her all the clothes in the house to make. She developed speed and quality.
"Qiao Mo, your craftsmanship is so good, it's a pity that you only make clothes for yourself." Although Hua Lili didn't know how good her tailoring skills were, her needlework was comparable to those of the old tailors in Donghai City. Her needlework was so good, it could be said that she had put a lot of thought into it, but she didn't know how good her tailoring skills were.
"I'm just an amateur and can't compare with professionals." Qiao Mo smiled and said: In this era, apart from making clothes for herself and her close ones, can she make money with her craftsmanship?
"Qiao Mo, you don't know how valuable your craft is. If you were born a few decades earlier, you could have lived a rich life in Donghai with this skill." Hua Lili said seriously. Her mother was from Donghai and knew how much importance Donghai people attached to dressing.
"Thank you for your affirmation, but now my skills are really of no use except making clothes for myself." Qiao Mo said seriously.
She didn't know what Hua Yili was thinking, but she would definitely tell her that she was her true confidant, and that both she and her husband had put a lot of effort into learning needlework.
Hua Xili originally wanted to ask her to make an autumn shirt for her, but she didn't see the finished product, so she swallowed the words and thought to herself that she would wait until she produced the finished product. Her needlework was good, but she was young after all, and her tailoring might not be good, and the level of tailoring was the key to determining whether the clothes were well made.
While doing needlework, Qiao Mo chatted with Hua Lili and Tang Xinmei. Before she knew it, it was half past eleven. When Tang Xinmei got up to cook, she suddenly realized that it was time for her to cook too.
The remaining pheasant stewed with mushrooms from yesterday had been eaten in the morning. Kang Mingyuan and his friends also kept a wild rabbit, which she planned to kill: they already had two geese and two chickens, which exceeded the limit, but they were still small and would not attract people's attention. It was absolutely impossible to raise a rabbit.
She cut the rabbit into two halves, cooked one half into dumplings and made the other half into spicy pork stew. She also picked some vegetables from her own plot and made some vegetables with garlic sauce.
