"Sister Haitang, shall we go back to Qiaotou Village now?" Lamei said, "I think we should wander around the city. It would be annoying to see your mother-in-law bring her daughter to the house when we go back."
"We still have business to do." Haitang patted her handbag, and it turned out that she had packed all the handkerchiefs the mute girl had drawn.
The two of them walked along the main street and came to the most prosperous embroidery shop.
In the embroidery building, seven or eight women are concentrating on embroidering on the cloth. There are mandarin ducks playing in the water, rich flowers blooming, and thousands of horses galloping. The frown, the bend of the finger, and the lifting of the thread are all filled with the unique femininity of women.
The beauty of red.
Look at these lifelike embroidery surfaces, which cannot be compared with modern cross-stitch. This is a real embroidery craftsman who pays attention to every stitch and thread.
Perfect embroidery must be: smooth, neat, flat, even and clean.
Shun means that the straight lines are straight and the curves are smooth, Qi means that the stitches are neat and the edges are not uneven, and Ping means that the gestures are accurate, the embroidery surface is flat, the silk threads are not skewed, and even means that the stitches are of the same length and the bottom is not exposed.
No overlap, clean, naturally means that the embroidery surface is smooth and clean, with no wear marks or stains.
A good embroidery worker cannot be trained for more than a year or two.
Begonia and Wintersweet were strolling around admiring the embroidery. The other girls were embroidering cloth, but the girl at the end was embroidering clothes. Needless to say, it was a wedding dress.
Lamei looks very interested and wants to learn. When she gets married, she will embroider a wedding dress for herself. That would be such a proud thing.
"The eldest girl is a bride, and she is busy with embroidery and getting married. After the first watch, she finishes embroidering the front placket, and the peonies bloom in her chest; after the second watch, she finishes embroidering the four corners of the watch, and colorful clouds are flying in all directions; in the third watch, when she finishes embroidering the hem of her shirt, magpies come to send her plum blossoms.
It is auspicious; after the fourth watch, the lotuses are embroidered together, the couple is full of love and joy; after the fifth watch, the dragon and phoenix are finished, they are like mandarin ducks flying together." Haitang thought of a folk song about embroidery and recited it smoothly.
Lamei didn't listen carefully, but someone next to her did.
"It turns out that the girl is also very good at embroidery. Are you here to apply for an embroidery job?" The proprietress of the embroidery shop came over and saw that Haitang and Wintersweet were young and handsome, so they were suitable for embroidery jobs. This embroidery job is not limited to the skills on hand.
, people should also be handsome, so that customers will look forward to it.
"Mrs. Boss, excuse me, we don't know how to embroider. We just did our best, and I'm really ashamed." Bai Haitang said.
"Girl, you're being modest." The landlady had already walked up to the two of them. Although she was in her thirties, she was well-maintained. Her skin could not be said to be greasy, but it was fair, elastic, and rosy. Overall, she looked very elegant.
.
The clothes on her body are not embroidered with bright red and purple flowers, but with orchids in the empty valley. She is calm and intellectual. She deserves to be engaged in the field of art and has a certain taste in appreciation.
Bai Haitang felt happy when she saw this person. Only those with good taste will take a fancy to the handkerchief in the bag.
"I hope to consign some things to your embroidery building. I wonder if that's possible?" Haitang said and took out the handkerchief. Haitang didn't dare to take out the things that were not worthy of the embroidery building.
The landlady took it curiously and looked through it one by one. I had seen many handkerchiefs, and it was indeed rare.
The colors of this handkerchief vary, but from the base fabric, the dyed color is uniform, smooth and bright, unlike ordinary dyeing workshops.
The four sides are also equipped with tassels. Although there is no hemming, it adds to its uniqueness and natural drape, which is very unique...
