Then Granny Lin took her to familiarize herself with some affairs in the embroidery workshop.

Xuruoxue agreed one by one, not forgetting to ask some things about Xiu Niang.

"Grandma Lin, who has the best craftsmanship here?"

Granny Lin thought for a while and came up with a name: "If you want to say who has the best handiwork in the embroidery workshop, it is the late lady."

When Xuruoxue heard this, she immediately became interested: "Grandma Lin, can you give me some details?"

So Granny Lin began to introduce this late lady.

Arriving at the largest workshop, Xuruoxue finally saw the late lady.

When Xuruoxue saw Mrs. Wan for the first time, she instantly understood why she had the best hand skills.

His whole person exuded an air of shrewdness and competence.

The feeling of never admitting defeat made Xuruoxue suddenly believe that this person was exactly the person she was looking for.

After Mrs. Wan learned who the visitor was, she quickly stepped forward and saluted, "I've met the second young master, and I've met the eldest lady."

Shen Chufan had also heard about this late lady, and had only met her briefly when he was managing the embroidery workshop.

Shen Chufan smiled and said, "No need to be polite."

Seeing Xuruoxue looking at the place, Granny Lin quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss, our embroidery workshop now has more than thirty embroiderers. Madam Wan is the steward here. If you have anything, you can ask her."

Xu Ruoxue nodded and looked at Madam Wan.

Madam Wan stepped forward without being humble or arrogant: "Miss, let me show you the workshop of the embroiderers."

"The main room has good light, so we made an embroidery room for the embroidery ladies. The side room was a bit dark, so I put some cloth, needles and threads in it and used it as a warehouse..."

Xu Ruoxue nodded and admired this late lady very much.

However, she knew that she had just come to understand the situation, so she didn't talk much. She just took a look and followed Shen Chufan home.

The next day, Xu Ruoxue appeared in the embroidery workshop again and talked with Madam Wan alone for a whole day.

Madam Wan was shocked by the design drawings that Xuruoxue brought out: "Miss? Did you draw these yourself?"

Xuruoxue said with a smile: "No, I just got some picture books by chance and thought they were very good, so I wrote them down."

Madam Wan didn't believe it. She had seen all the designs in the world that were recorded in books. Even if she hadn't seen the designs, she had seen a lot of finished products.

There is no such skirt or pattern in Xuruoxue's hands. I just think Xuruoxue is modest.

So Mrs. Wan smiled and said, "Miss, I understand."

Xuruoxue was confused, but she didn't go into details. Judging from her expression, she must have misunderstood something, but it didn't affect his work.

After whispering a few instructions, he left.

A few days later, Mrs. Wan saw Xuruoxue coming and shouted in surprise: "Miss, come and see, that skirt has been made!"

Xuruoxue looked at Madam Wan's excited face and was also infected by her. She smiled and agreed, "I really saw the right person."

Madam Wan continued: "Since you haven't been here these days, I took the initiative and made another dress with other colors."

After saying that, he showed it to Xuruoxue: "Look, this one is almost finished, so you can make clothes very quickly by only sewing without embroidery!"

Xuruoxue went over and took a look and was very satisfied.

Madam Wan continued excitedly: "Miss, I have learned how to cut these two clothes. If I make these two clothes in the future, I will cut them according to different sizes."

Xu Ruoxue looked at the two pieces that were made, and they were the same as her own. It seemed that these embroiderers really shouldn't be underestimated. They were really amazing!

So Xuruoxue immediately turned to Ling Shuang and said, "Give those pictures to Mrs. Wan and let her study how to cut them."

Ling Shuang sent the design drawing directly to Lady Wan.

Madam Wan held the designed drawings and bowed deeply to Xuruoxue.

These things are very precious. The eldest lady can hand them to me without any reservation. This is her trust in herself!

Xu Ruoxue didn't know what Mrs. Wan was thinking, and said with a smile on her face: "Take a look at these pictures first. If you don't understand anything about these pictures, or if you have any suggestions, just tell me."

Madam Wan first took the pictures and looked at them carefully one by one. The more she looked at them, the more surprised she became.

Then he looked at her with admiration and said, "Miss, you are truly a genius. There are no problems at the moment."

After saying that, he carefully put away the drawings in his hands, leaving only one, and was ready to start.

Xuruoxue has read a lot of books on this aspect in the past few days and has learned more about it.

He nodded towards Madam Wan and said, "I'll tell you a little trick. When you're cutting out a piece of clothing, you can lay out the two pieces of cloth you selected. When you cut the scissors, the two pieces will be the same size.

The clothes are just different in fabric."

Madam Wan smiled and said: "Yes, yes, this is much faster. If I only need to cut it by myself, I can do it as well as them."

Xuruoxue said excitedly: "Now it seems that they can make three pieces of clothing in a day. This is still not a familiar situation. If you are familiar with it, you may be able to make four or five pieces of clothing in a day."

Come."

Madam Wan echoed: "As long as we divide the work and cooperate, the efficiency will be faster."

Xuruoxue gave a few more instructions and then took Ling Shuang home from the embroidery room.

I was very tired from walking around today.

Not long after I got home, I fell asleep on the bed.

It was a long sleep, lasting until the next morning.

After breakfast, Xuruoxue asked Ling Shuang to ask the housekeeper in the front yard to see if the carpenter Shen Chufan was looking for could be found.

I still have a lot of store matters to arrange.

After a while, Ling Shuang came back and said:

"Miss, the second young master invites you to go to the study."

Xu Ruoxue took Ling Shuang and hurried to Shen Chufan's study in the front yard.

Ling Shuang stayed outside the study and waited.

"Xue'er, this is the carpenter master Zhou that we hired. I heard that he can make good furniture. You can tell him what you want to do."

Xu Ruoxue smiled and said, "Hello, Master Zhou!"

"If you call Miss Zhou Master Zhou, just call me Little Old Zhou." Master Zhou waved his hands repeatedly.

Seeing that Lao Zhou was also sincere, Xuruoxue chuckled and said, "It's not about other things. I want to make some wooden people."

"Sit down and let me draw a picture for you to see if you can do it!"

Xuruoxue has a strong learning ability and can now draw what she wants in a decent way.

I took a quill to the paper and drew a picture. It only had a neck and a very similar torso, with two legs underneath, and finally I used a long stick to hold it up.

Seeing Xuruoxue drawing with that goose-feather pen, Shen Chufan also felt that the pen was a bit strange, but thought about asking later. Just looking at the people Xueer drew was a bit strange.

Xuruoxue pointed to the drawing and said: "Master Zhou, look, this is a picture of a man's body, and this is a picture of a woman's body. There are different body types for men and women."

Master Zhou understood immediately and nodded quickly: "I understand, I understand."

Seeing that he accepted it well, Xuruoxue continued: "Also, this is a picture of a child's figure."

This Master Zhou is really a master. As soon as Xu Ruoxue said it, he understood everything.

Xu Ruoxue emphasized the important point again: "The ratio of waist to height is very important. You must pay attention to it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Master Zhou thought for a while and said: "Miss, I know what you said, but I don't know what the suitable body size is. I have a suggestion. There are some aunts in the house. Grandma will take the measurements. If the lady can find one or two suitable people to take measurements for me, then it will be easy for me."

Xuruoxue thought about it and felt that it made sense: "Okay, the main thing is that you should deal with the problem around your neck and try your best to be like a real person."

"Yes." Carpenter Zhou was immediately taken down.

After Shen Chufan and others left, he walked to Xuruoxue and laughed: "Sister, how did you come up with the idea of ​​becoming a wooden person? I heard you say it first, and I thought you wanted to be a wooden person. Playing!”

"I'm not a child playing with wooden figures!" Xuruoxue glared at him angrily.

Later, Xuruoxue called the housekeeper to start screening men and women with suitable figures in the house.

This can be regarded as organizing a small model team of my own, and I made corresponding wooden figures according to their figures.

Once the measurements came out, they were handed over to Master Zhou.

A small model team is determined here, and the garment team over there makes clothes according to these people's sizes.

In three days, the embroiderers of Xiufang worked two extra days of night shift, and finally made clothes of different sizes from several styles drawn by Xuruoxue.

When Xuruoxue went to see the show, everyone was not only tired from work, but also very excited.

Especially Mrs. Wan, who said with excitement: "Before, we thought that the faster we embroidered, the faster we would make clothes. But now we know that as long as we cooperate well, we can make clothes faster and faster!"

"I have seen so many clothes, but yours is the most beautiful."

Seeing that Mrs. Wan was so surprised and happy, she also laughed.

However, Xuruoxue is actually not very satisfied with this speed.

Having seen how fast modern mechanization is, I am not surprised at such speed.

It's just a preliminary trial here, but seeing as the clothes they make every day are faster than the day before, it seems that they have really learned how to divide work.

With this division of labor, Xuruoxue believes that we will cooperate even better in the future!

Shen Chufan was very confident in Xuruoxue, but he was also a little worried.

However, there were many maids and women in the yard of the ready-made garments department, so it was not appropriate for him to go there, and he never knew how the work was done.

Three days later, shopkeeper Yang from the cloth shop and Mrs. Wan from the embroidery shop were both invited to the general's mansion.

The General's family was already sitting in the outer courtyard of the General's Mansion, and Lu Wansu was sitting next to Xu Yan.

The old lady looked puzzled: "What is this snow girl doing?"

Shen Chufan beside him smiled and said mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."
