Chapter 4 Embroidery Needles
Iron, this thing existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was a punishment tool at that time, and it was used to iron clothes in the Han Dynasty, but it was only available in the dignitaries and courts, even in the era of the Northern Wei Dynasty, this thing was not popularized among the people.
It took four hundred and five baht to make this iron, which made Zhao Junsheng feel a lot of pain, but as a master tailor, the iron is not necessary.
It was not yet unitary time, it was still early, but Zhao Junsheng closed the shop early, he moved some fabrics, silk, silk, brocade, silk, Luo, silk, satin, etc. to the workbench and put them in a proper place next to the workbench, and put the ruler, tape measure, scissors, lime sheets, sewing needle boxes, thread clips, irons and other tools one by one neatly, a tailor's studio was arranged.
Zhao Junsheng cleaned his hands with warm water, wiped them clean with a towel, and took a roll of white silk and spread it on the desk.
He took a ruler and a lime sheet according to Mulan's body size and drew lines on the silk cloth, which he used to divide into several pieces of neckline, torso, upper limbs and lower skirt, and then cut off the corners with scissors.
Next, he took a roll of Luo, Luo is a strip of silk fabric woven by the warp Luo, Luo is characterized by lightness, can be used as summer clothing, it is now July, it is the favorite of the rich lady and everyone's ladies.
Zhao Junsheng decided to use ayara as the main raw material, using a small amount of silk and satin as ingredients to sew a women's summer costume.
When everything was done, he took out a sewing needle, put it on the white thread, and with the needle and thread in hand, he felt that he had completely become a master tailor.
He has a stunt called "Embroidery Needle", which is a skill in a martial arts computer game he played before crossing over, and after crossing over, he found that he actually brought this skill over, along with two other martial arts.
"Embroidery Needle" is not only a life skill, but also a martial art, since it is a martial art, the speed of threading the needle is almost invisible to the naked eye, the sewing needle shuttles back and forth between his fingers and Ayara, the new fabric makes his stitch gestures a little rusty at first, the speed of sewing is slow, when the sleeves, collar and torso and other parts are almost sewn, his technique is already very skilled, he did not expect that he will adapt so quickly.
The stitches are so dense that the distance between each stitch is barely visible to the naked eye, which requires exquisite stitching skills, and the next step is to connect and assemble the collar, torso, and sleeves, which requires a very careful process.
The skirt seems to have a simple structure, but it is not easy to cut and sew it to fit and look beautiful, especially the waistband and wrinkles, but this is not difficult for Zhao Junsheng, his skill is already a master.
It only took an hour to stitch a set of women's summer costumes with a silk robe on the upper body and a Luo skirt on the lower body, and in the martial arts costume films on Hong Kong Island in the previous life, there are many styles of women's costume props, and this is just one of them, and the woman wearing it on her body is definitely a fairy temperament.
He then cut and sewed a chivalrous dress and a women's court dress. In terms of men's clothing, he also sewed three sets, namely a set of chivalrous costumes, a set of martial arts nobles and a set of staff outfits, and the speed of cutting and sewing has also been greatly improved, basically a set is completed in half an hour, these are all props and costumes in ancient costume film and television dramas in the previous life, which cannot exist in this era.
He picked up the embroidery needle again, put on the needle and thread, and embroidered on the inside of the collar of these clothes: "Zhao's clothing" four as logos.
After ironing the clothes with an iron equipped with charcoal fire, he hung the six sets of ancient costumes on a wooden hanger, then took a few steps back and wrapped his arms, touched his chin and looked at it, and then reached out and snapped his fingers: "Beautiful! Whether it can be a hit or not is here! ”
At this time, there seemed to be a sound outside the front store, Zhao Junsheng's ear was not bad, he could hear it clearly, and he immediately walked quickly to the front store with an oil lamp.
Walking into the store through the back door, before the light of the oil lamp could illuminate the store, Zhao Junsheng heard the sound of "hissing" and "suosuo".
Zhao Junsheng's expression was awe-inspiring, goosebumps appeared on his body instantly, his eyes flashed, his right wrist flipped and flicked, and the three cold stars between his fingers flashed away, and the sound of "hiss" and "Suosuo" disappeared, and when the light of the oil lamp illuminated the store, he saw three colorful poisonous snakes rolling and curling up on the ground, and he died after a while.
"Ahh······h Suddenly there were two screams outside the door, and then someone exclaimed: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts!" ”
Zhao Junsheng's expression changed, he opened his mouth to blow out the oil lamp, and immediately leaned to the door to look out through the crack in the door, under the bright light of the lantern hanging at the door, he saw two men wearing subordinate clothes running from the door of the shop to the far side of the street in panic.
"Hey, aren't these two Yao Desheng's entourage? I++, Yao Desheng, are you going to play this hand for my brother? Okay, well, since you are so unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust! ”
Zhao Junsheng was angry in his heart, and then he saw a white shadow appear in the dark under the eaves of the restaurant opposite from the crack in the door, and he remembered that Yao Desheng's two entourages screamed and shouted that there were ghosts when they fled just now, could this really be a ghost?
I saw the white shadow slowly coming out of the darkness under the eaves of the wine shop opposite, and when Zhao Junsheng saw it clearly, he was shocked: "Mulan? ”
"This ······ What's going on? Didn't she go out of the city and return to Huajiabao? Could it be ······ Could it be that she noticed that Yao Desheng had no bad intentions during the day, and wanted to make me bad in secret, and she didn't want me to worry, so she didn't go back to Huajiabao, but turned back halfway and kept protecting me secretly? ”
Hua Mulan slowly walked towards the store with a sword, and Zhao Junsheng immediately quickly retreated to the room in the backyard and lay on the bed and pretended to sleep.
After a while, he heard a soft sound in the backyard, which was the sound of a human body jumping from a height, and the sound of slight footsteps first went to the front store, and soon came to the backyard.
The door was gently pushed open, Hua Mulan walked in lightly, she held a sword in one hand and three dead snakes in the other, she felt Zhao Junsheng's slow breathing on the bed, and couldn't help muttering: "Then Yao Desheng wanted to scare people but only sent someone to throw in three dead snakes, it seems that he doesn't have much guts, spare him for the time being, if you dare to come again, it's not too late to deal with it!" ”
The door was closed, and the slight sound of footsteps faded away until it was gone.
Zhao Junsheng, who was lying on the dress, suddenly opened his eyes, walked out of the room quickly, and flew up the wall in the blink of an eye, he watched Mulan lead the horse down the street dragging a long shadow, and then flew down and quietly followed.
After a while, he followed Mulan to the Frequent Inn in the city, and the shopkeeper in the inn came out and led the horse to welcome Mulan into the store.
A warm current quietly flowed through his heart, and Zhao Junsheng, who had long believed in love, felt that life seemed to be particularly beautiful at this moment.
In the morning, Zhao Junsheng, who was meditating in bed, was woken up by a knock on the door, he yawned and put on his clothes and came to the store to open the door.
Carpenter Liu smiled: "Shopkeeper Zhao, your custom-made two-person puppet yesterday has been made, do you think it is agreeable?" ”
Zhao Junsheng looked at it, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, Master Liu's craftsmanship is really not covered, this is the doll I want!" ”
"If you're satisfied, then I'll go first!" Carpenter Liu raised his hand to say hello and left.
Zhao Junsheng moved them to the eaves on both sides of the gate and faced the street, took out a set of fairy costumes from the store and put them on the model on the right, and put a set of martial arts nobles on the model on the left, and took out two wigs and put them on the top of the model's head.
This time, there was no need for Zhao Junsheng to shout, the model was put out, and after the two sets of clothes were put on, a group of onlookers immediately attracted a group of onlookers in front of the store, but most of them were flat-headed ordinary people.
"Shhhh
"And this men's outfit, if you can wear it on your body, you won't be dazzled by those deep resentful women, crying and throwing themselves into their arms!"
When people were talking, a carriage stopped behind the crowd and didn't leave, and a woman's voice came from inside the carriage, like a breeze: "Xiaocui, why don't you leave?" ”
The maid sitting in front of the carriage came back to her senses and immediately said to the woman in the carriage: "Miss, there are two wooden dolls in front of this 'Zhao Ji Garment' shop, wearing beautiful clothes, and there are many people around the door!" ”
The woman in the carriage was a little curious when she heard this, and lifted the curtain to reveal a delicate and beautiful face, and when the fairy costume worn by the model in front of Zhao Ji's clothing shop appeared in her sight, her eyes were firmly attracted.
Xiao Cui, the maid sitting in front of the carriage, said at this time: "Miss, if you wear this dress, you will definitely be able to charm all the men in the world!" ”
At this time, Zhao Junsheng took a boxy mulberry paper and hung it on the signboard pole, and then walked back to the store.
Among the onlookers, there was a literate scholar who read: "Tailor-made, high-end customization, unique style, price negotiable"
"What does that mean?" Someone asked.
"It means that if you want to buy a set of such clothes, you have to go into the store and negotiate the price with the shopkeeper, if you agree, you have to pay a deposit first, the price will definitely not be cheap, the shopkeeper will measure the size according to your body shape, and design and sew a unique style for you!"
Someone else said, "Why is this shopkeeper so stupid?" Put these two sets of clothes outside, and people from other tailors and ready-to-wear shops will definitely be able to imitate them when they see them, and in a few days, the whole city will be full of these clothes! ”
"Wrong!" Someone in the crowd immediately denied this possibility, "You don't look at what material these two sets of clothes are cut and sewn from, just say that this set of women's clothes is made of silk Luo as the main forage, and it is also matched with silk, silk and brocade, ordinary people can't afford to wear it at all, only those young masters and young ladies from large families can afford to wear them, and sewing with ordinary fabrics can't set off this temperament at all, will the young masters and young ladies of large families wear cheap goods?" Even if other tailor shops use the same material to imitate it, but it can't do this effect, you look at the stitches and embroidery of these two sets of clothes, this is not an ordinary stitch, the style can be imitated, but the average tailor does not have this exquisite craftsmanship! ”
