Mama Zheng and Mama Liu, the second-class maid Ke'er, and Xin'er began to act, they poured the cloth on the woodworking board erected in the Fujin Hall, sprayed it evenly with a watering can, and covered it.

The beard exclaimed, "Wow! Mama Zheng looks, there are all kinds of cloth corners, and there are more than a foot wide. There is a flower cloth, a flower cloth that is very watery......"

"Okay, okay, don't just sigh spontaneously, come over to me, and smooth out these wet flower cloths. If you pick out the big pieces, you might be able to make clothes for your child. There are so many in one pocket, and I can't fit a board. Mama Zheng was elated.

Mama Liu said: "You really have to spray water and flatten it before you can put it away." The slave maid heard Mama Fucha say that the horns of the cloth are the size of fingernails, nonsense, look at this piece, it's too beautiful, right? If there is a large one, make a gown for the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, then there is no cure. ”

Fu Jin originally wanted to go upstairs and lie down to rest for a while, but when he saw these cloths, he was refreshed. The woman was interested in what she wore and worn, and then took a closer look at the cloth in front of her, and sighed again in her heart: This little woman of the prince is big enough, and these cloth heads are too good, right? It's all brand new, all kinds of cloth, big and small, and so many at once.

"Wait, wait, such a bright piece of cloth can't be called a cloth corner, this cloud master is really good at shopping, so he goes to get a stool and sits down to pick it out, I can't stand it bending down like this. I'll also pick up pieces of cloth, and put them together for more than one foot, more than half a foot together, and less than half a foot together. ”

"These pieces of cloth are also very beautiful, Fujin, you are kind, give this white ground and pink flower cloth to the slave maid, and the slave maid will make a gown for her daughter, okay?" The mustache is cute and coquettish again.

"No shame and shameless little hooves, in the words of the prince, you are the head of the nest into the stove pit."

"Mama Zheng, what do you mean, these are obviously cloth heads, not nest heads."

Everyone laughed, how could anyone understand the problem so well.

"Wowotou into the stove pit means that your eyes are hot."

The beard stretched out his arm and hugged the cloth head in his arms, "I'm still the head of the nest, the head of the big eye socket." ”

Looking at the greedy appearance of the beard, Fu Jin laughed.

A pocket of cloth, seven or eight people picked it for a long time to finish, enough to count. According to Fujin's instructions, the large and small pieces were separated, and it was convenient to use them in the future.

"Fujin, what are you thinking about?" Mama Zheng watched Fu Jin sitting silently in front of the work case, as if she was thinking about something.

"I thought, these pieces of cloth are brand new, all kinds of colors, can they be used to make clothes? For example, these brightly colored ones are ready to be made, and the small pieces are put together to become large, and even the genuine cloth is also cut into small pieces. ”

"You can really do it, with the way you think about the clothes you usually have, these cloths can really make decent clothes. Didn't Master Yun say it, these cloth heads are for us to try, so you can boldly ponder and figure out what to look like for the slave to help you sew. ”

Fu Jin's eyes lit up: "Look at these cloth heads, let's use them to make clothes for the large pieces and good colors, and make small pieces to make a hundred quilts." The prince told me that these cloth heads will be made into clothes for the relief of the victims in the future, and I thought, the victims have no fixed residence, broken houses, frames, and mountain temples are all shelters, and they don't pay attention to what to wear, right? There is a place to lie down, and it doesn't matter if it's dirty or not. Therefore, the black-gray and dark brown pieces of cloth in the cloth are made into a cloak, which can be used as clothes to protect from the wind and rain, and can be used as a quilt to cover ......"

Mama Zheng's eyes widened and said, "The prince said that he would make clothes for the victims? How many pieces does that have? How much cloth do you need? ”

"The prince said, that's what Master Yun planned to do, otherwise how could he buy so many pockets of cloth? There are very fresh and watery colors in it, and there are also colors that are not very good, but they are all brand new and can be strong and wear-resistant. ”

"When you say this, the slave maid thinks that Master Yun is very open-minded. That's the money exchanged for antiques, and it is used on the victims, not three or five pieces can be sent away, so don't feel distressed? On the day they returned home, someone was still angry and wanted to divide other people's pockets, and he was not ashamed to panic. ”

"Mama Zheng, who are you talking about?" The mustache won't let it.

Mama Zheng was not afraid of her, wiped her eyes and said, "I will say whoever you talk to." ”

Fu'er still had to argue with Mama Zheng, but Fu Jin coughed: "Okay, okay, do the right thing!" ”

He didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't pay attention to what he said.

Fu Jin said: "I will send a few pieces of cloth to each of you, and you will go back and think about what to do, and I will reward you for doing a brilliant job." ”

"Wow! It's a big pie from the sky. The mustache raised her arms and cheered mercilessly.

In the case of no one to guide them, several grandmothers and girls in the Fujin room made a dress for each of them with their own creativity. It's not the concept of patchwork, it's the method of making ready-to-wear, it's all spliced with small pieces of fabric, just the right amount of sewing, and there is no feeling of making up for inferior fabrics, which is new clothes. There are clothes for adults, for children, for men, for women, and for the elderly. I really can't underestimate the woman of the Qing Dynasty, that creativity is not covered. It really responds to the sentence "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", and with sufficient living materials, everyone's thinking is also much broader. In addition, children's clothes are made very casually, and a piece of cloth about a foot long can be made into a dress, because the foreign cloth is very wide and does not have a fixed style like an adult. So all kinds of children's clothing came out of the cage, all varied, all designed according to the color of the cloth, because of the cloth conditions, large and small pieces can be used.

When Yun'er came to Fujin again to say goodbye, Fujin took out a few of the best-looking "works" of the girls and grandmothers in the room and put them on the small table in front of him.

"This is made by my sister for our son and daughter, one piece per person, all of them are cotton."

"Wow, Fujin, you are really a god, just make it of those pieces of cloth? These pants are still the kind of bib pants that Bei Bei wore. This top is cute, isn't it? The sleeves are not even a foot long, this is for the baby? Yun'er, on behalf of Baby Beibei, thank you very much, you have worked so hard. ”

"Look at what you said, isn't my sister also their mother? These clothes are really not made by my sister alone, but by several girls and grandmothers in my sister's room. What do you think? ”

"Great! It's not in vain that these cloth heads came to the world to walk like this, it is really the '**************' that Mr. Taibai said, as the owner of the cloth, I am very grateful for your hard work and creation. I'll give you a little bit of a prize to encourage you. What's the reward? ”

"Don't price it, don't pay for it, these cloths were brought by my sister, everyone should make good use of them, it's our business, how can I ask for your prize?"

"The reward must be given, but the amount of the prize will not be very large, which is what it means."

Fu Jin smiled and said, "Then ask my sister to reward my sister with one or two pairs of white socks you gave to my sister." You see, all the sisters you gave to your sister earlier have put them on, and they are very comfortable! It's clean, easy to wash, and it's tight, and it seems to be very strong. ”

"You're wearing thin nylon socks, which are more suitable for summer. Turning around, Yun'er found a pack of nylon socks for each girl in your room who participated in the patchwork. ”

"Don't bargain! You already have two packs of gifts for your sister, and one pack is ten pairs. Snow white, my sister especially likes it. It's much better than the socks made by our Daqing women, and they covered their feet too much that summer, even if they were made of thin satin, they were not as good as this. ”

"If you like it, it's worth it. There are 10 pairs of socks in packs, 8 pairs in packs, and 4 pairs and 2 pairs in packs. In the future, Yun'er will give everyone rewards with items of all grades, and the packaging and quantity of the goods will be different, but it is not Yun'er who has taken a cut from it, nor is it watching people put down dishes. It is rewarded according to the contribution, not by the level. ”

"Look at what my sister said, the living materials are my sister's, I don't want a penny, and I will give a reward, who wants to be crooked, isn't it conscience?"

"People's ideological realm is different, some people can do good deeds with money, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and don't want anything in return; Some people will think about how cost-effective they are, and they will harm others. Of course, the atmosphere in our house is relatively positive, which is an example for everyone since the prince and you opened the house. There must be a reward, it is a form of encouragement, just like you usually see who is on an errand and gives a reward for their diligence. What Yun'er gives you is not a reward, but a worry fee. How can Yun'er have the right to dictate to you? ”

"My sister is too polite, if you come to my sister to teach my sister any skills, it's not finger-pointing, it's teaching, solving doubts, don't be too modest."

"Thank you Fujin, Yun'er brought the finished patchwork of several sisters in her room, and asked Fujin to criticize and correct. If Fujin thinks it is possible, it will be spread out among a few teaching grandmothers, and then popularized among all the girls and grandmothers in the house. ”

"Excellent, excellent, sister take a look first."

"This is a fabric made of these two squares, and the dark and light colors are staggered and sewn together, with six horizontal seams and eight vertical seams. The cube fabric must be generally large. This sample is a quilt surface, and it can be called a quilt. You can also put the square cloth up, become a diamond and stitch it together, the key is the matching of colors, you can't catch a piece and sew it, there must be a co-ordination arrangement, so that there is an artistry, so that people don't see messy. ”

"Really, it feels like I thought about it before sewing. It's not just a piece to use, it's planned first. What is this method called? Fu Jin didn't find the right words and shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"You mean the overall arrangement, right?"

"That's what it means, yes!"

"Each piece should be arranged as a whole, and it is best to draw a rendering. According to the map, don't even make a mistake with the number of blocks, and do it according to the picture when you do it, and you will achieve the desired effect. ”

"My sister speaks very simply and clearly."

"Fujin, you compliment, look at a wallet below, it's okay to call it a handbag. This is made of a relatively thick and stiff cotton cloth, called fabric canvas, which is stiffer and more durable. Yun'er zipped her wallet and installed a handle so that she could carry it in her hand. ”

"That's beautiful, isn't it? There are several slots in it, what are they used for? ”

"The inside compartment can hold a silver ticket, and the bottom can hold a key. If you want to beautify it a little more, you can make a small pendant and tie it to the eyelet of the pull tab. Everyone, please see that this is the bear pendant. ”

"It's good-looking."

"This is the simplest patchwork, and you can also assemble the seat cushion, which is square or diamond-shaped, and the edges must be dark colors, so that the colors inside can be pressed."

Several grandmothers and girls in Yun'er's room are also very smart and capable, and the works they bring are quilts, seat cushions, pockets, aprons, pillows and other fabrics. I didn't know that patchwork was so interesting. Master Yun's mind is too coincidental, right? The quilt surface is a very beautiful shape.

Yun'er's patchwork was recognized by all the girls and grandmothers in the Fujin room, especially the second- and third-class maids who did not participate in it, and their saliva was about to fall out. She deliberately showed a small melon made of earthy yellow cloth that Yun'er taught her to the second-class maid Ke'er, and didn't let her take it to see it, which made Ke'er so angry that her tears fell. The second-class maid also served Fujin closely, and this Ke'er also came from the palace like Fu'er, and she was "tested" in the garden for a year, and her performance was outstanding, and she was promoted to the Fujin courtyard to sprinkle and sweep. Got up little by little, his father was also an official, he was a seventh-grade official, and his official rank was not as good as that of his father.

Seeing that the timing could be handed over to the eight teaching grandmothers, Yun'er taught them the art of patchwork. In fact, Yun'er and a few people in Fujin's room have already learned about the same.

When the masamina of the teachers came up, Yun'er taught them to sew patchwork works that have both appreciation value and practical value. For example, aprons and pillowcases should not only match the color, but also take into account the style. Watching Yun'er cut out a piece of cloth with a strip pattern and put it together with another piece of cloth with flowers to become a sheet, Mama Zheng was so distressed that she couldn't even breathe. But when I looked at it again, the effect was really much more noble, elegant, and atmospheric than before. Looks like this patchwork is really a college question.

Yun'er found special tools for patchwork from the pile of goods in the hall: for example, needles, there are many kinds of needles used for patchwork, including hand-sewing needles, embroidery needles, bead needles, beaded needles, etc.; Threads include transparent thread, hand-stitched thread, car thread, pressure stitching thread, embroidery thread, etc.; Scissors include sewing scissors, ordinary scissors, lace scissors, embroidery scissors, thread scissors, etc.; pens include water-soluble markers, scratching powder, hot writing pencils, etc.; Other tools include glue guns, tweezers, thimbles, thread removal knives, rulers, zippers, irons, water elimination pens, bone pens, sewing rings, U-shaped scissors, awls, crimping pliers, clips, wheel knives, backing plates, rulers, tape makers, turning pliers, templates, etc., all of which were matched by the three Lan'er and distributed to the eight people who taught the mother and the two masters to serve closely. Everyone is familiar with it and is handy, so that they can explain the specific use of these tools to their disciples very clearly.

The human mouth can't be pinned, and the grandmothers have just been given the tools to make cloth art, and the girls and grandmothers in the front and back courtyards know about it, including the women in Mrs. Chen's courtyard. Three in a pile, five in a row, began to discuss. It's not that the master is eccentric, it's that he is anxious about when he can have those strange things to do. It is said that dexterity is not as good as home, and who doesn't want to get more novelty objects? During the period of teaching Mama Xi to learn new skills, the girls and grandmothers in the front and back courtyards were responsible for supplying the goods of the Nalan Department Store. The Dragon Boat Festival has passed, and the hairpins, garlands, fungus flowers, lace and other decorations used by those women are still in short supply. Yun'er and Ling Juan taught these small decorations to a few Mama Teachers, and then the Mammas taught Xi to pass them on to the girls and grandmothers in the front and back courtyards.

Now Mr. Chen's chief accountant has taken office. The accounts of Nalan Department Store and Yulong Cloth Village are settled on a daily basis, and they are paid every ten days to these people who work hard and sell goods. The girls and grandmothers were paid well and were more motivated. Although the number is not too much, it is also an additional input. At the same time, the daughters-in-law and daughters of older mothers such as Mama Zheng and Mama Liu are invited to participate in the processing of cloth artworks as long as they know how to needlework. The girls and grandmothers in other courtyards are still in the learning stage, and if the sales volume of Nalan Department Store and Yulong Cloth Village is larger, all the girls and grandmothers in the house will participate in the patchwork task of quota processing.
