Chapter 542: Beautiful Handbag
Yun'er also taught the eight grandmothers the art of wearing beads. It's not that you can take a needle, sew it on the thread, grab a bead and put it in, and then wear it into a bead loop and wear it, which is also a knowledge.
Yun'er bought more beads in a foreign land, so she started to practice with the simplest bracelet of glass beads. If you use a working thread to wear it, it's too simple, wear a circle, connect the thread to the end, and you're done. The ropes of exotic bracelets are elastic and sturdy, much thicker than the white thread used to sew quilts, and have fluff. It is difficult for such a thread to pass through the eye of the needle, and even a very large needle eye cannot be penetrated. If you just hold the thread in your hand and thread it, it will not walk well, because it has hairy hairs and great resistance. Several of the teaching grandmothers tried very hard to hold it in their hands, and the effect was terrible.
Yun'er told everyone: "You have a very good tool in your hands, which is the crochet of this small hook, put the crochet needle into the round hole of the bead, expose the tip of the needle, put the rope on the hook, and the hook will come over." ”
"Hey, that's that easy."
"About twenty or so beads are enough for a bracelet, and then the end of the rope is pierced, and it must be tied tightly and cannot be opened. Then turn on the lighter, give it a quick burn, and cut it again. This rope has the composition of chemical fiber, which is characterized by fear of fire, and when it encounters fire, it will be bonded together and it will be strong. The advantage of using this kind of rope is that it is elastic, and when you put it on your hand, you can easily put it on, and it is also very convenient when you take it off. Will you all go? After each person wears ten more strings. ”
After the task was assigned, the teaching grandmothers worked hard. There are glass beads on the plate in front of you, so you can wear them. Such a simple method does not say that the dog wears a nest head. It's not that I'm afraid of Fu Jin's reprimand, Fu Jin is right, why haven't you made it for more than 20 years? Fu Jin never gritted his teeth when he spoke, but he was into the wood.
Ten strings of glass beads were put on as if they were playing, and Yun'er asked them to wear a big bead and a small bead next to each other. The eye of the needle of the small bead is not small, and it is quickly put on. Then there is the necklace, which is not worn with an elastic rope, but is a very thin and somewhat stiff silk rope called nylon silk. This is easy to wear, you don't need to use a crochet needle, you can just hold it with your hand and put it in. Necklaces are a little more difficult than bracelets, like imitation pearl necklaces are the same big beads, some wooden bead necklaces have to be separated by large beads and small beads, or several bead strings are worn alternately, anyway, how to look good and how to wear.
Among the beads that Yun'er bought back were small crystal glass roses with nails, crimson and particularly beautiful, and a flower was a bead, which was the material for wearing bracelets. When you wear it, you can't wear it next to each other, it's a rose next to an obsidian the size of a mung bean, and it's staggered and worn into a bracelet. The girls and grandmothers who wore beads were really hungry, and when they rested, they begged Mama Lin, Ling Juan, and Yu'er Shui Er to intercede, not for nothing, and the retail price was as much as it was, it was so beautiful! Beads can be made into the shape of flowers!
"Then let's deduct less money." Yun'er herself likes this kind of bracelet very much, but there are 200 girls and grandmothers in the house, and each person gives a bracelet for nothing, which seems to be too big.
Master Yun has all kinds of beads here, and there are all kinds of them. A few grandmothers wore out a lot of beaded handicrafts in an hour. After wearing the number and registering, I took it to the department store in Nalan Donggui to sell it, and it was overcrowded for many days. But the necklaces and bracelets that I took are getting better and more beautiful, and the boys and girls are fighting with these little things, and I will buy them if you have them.
As mentioned earlier, the director of the color bead factory gave the prince a gift of so many beads in a small warehouse, all of which were mixed together. Only then did Yun'er remember what the prince had said, including those genuine colored beads and chemical fiber cloth for embossing. There are so many things that I can't think of them for a while. Wang Ye and Tian Liang didn't see it when they inspected all the empty houses in the inner mansion, and they didn't see it when He Tian Liang inspected the buildings, platforms, pavilions, and pavilions in the treasury and garden! Check Yun'er's black book again, there is a record in the book, but the goods are not. For example, the socks that Yun'er bought, including the gifts, are a total of fifty-five extra-long trucks. Most of them are white nylon socks that are not thin or thick, as well as thicker nylon socks worn in winter and thicker nylon socks that are taller, and the rest are nylon stockings worn in summer. Many exotic girls like flesh-colored stockings, but in the Qing Dynasty, girls dare not wear them, because these socks are no different from their own flesh and skin, as if they are wearing nothing.
The only socks were the two boxes in Yun'er's room, and the others were gone. Nalan Department Store only sells a small handful, and it is gone when it hooks people's desires. Fifty-five cars is not a decimal. After Yun'er practiced at night, she used the eye of heaven to find these "missing" goods. It turned out that nothing was lost, it was placed in a secret room to the south of the secret room of gasoline and diesel at Yun'er's feet. Yun'er didn't see the goods last time she looked for them, probably because her eyes hadn't reached the level of passing through two floors at that time. Yun'er told Wang Ye and Tian Liang about the situation, and the two of them were relieved. It's not that they don't believe in Master, it's that they want to know what goods are placed where.
Among the goods in Yun'er's room, there are still a few boxes that can be worn into string-shaped goods, which are enough for the time being, and when the prince saw these beads, he suddenly remembered something, and left in a hurry, making Yun'er baffled. When he came back, he told Yun'er that he said that when he saw the mixed colored beads, he suddenly remembered sugar, white sugar, granulated sugar and lump sugar. Just because the sugar in the Qing Dynasty was too expensive, the three of them bought 120 tons of white sugar from a sugar beet factory in the north, 60 tons of sugarcane white sugar from the south, and 60 tons of fruits, milk candy, sorghum syrup, halva, jelly candy and other colorful plastic paper packaging, mixed with mixed sugar. In order to have more varieties, when you give it away, the flowers are also beautiful, and you can taste all kinds of flavors. When the prince thought of these sugars, he sighed in his heart, the sugar melts when it is hot, and it may form a lump for such a long time, right? Hurry to the Xiaoice cellar to see how much sugar can be put in it, and hurry up and move it over so that it can be chilled with saltpeter. It turns out that it's not here, and it's certainly not in the big ice cellar. The prince hurried to the vegetable cellar, the vegetable cellar in the house is very large, and now it is summer and there is no need to store vegetables. I was relieved at first glance. All the sugars are here! When I touched it, there was no clumping and no melting, and then I let out a long breath. When the three of them came back, there were no vegetables in the vegetable cellar, so no one knew that there was so much sugar here. But in winter, you still have to store some cabbage and radish. What about sugar? Nothing else, an ice cellar had to be built. If you don't need so much ice, you just store vegetables and grain. I got out of the Nanwaifu area, and it was all used as a variety of cellars.
The sugar is packed in twenty-five kilogram woven bags; The candy boxes are neatly stacked. It takes a lot of sugar to make popsicle ice cream and juice, and the daily dosage is still very large, what should I do if I run out? According to the information, the waste material of the sugar factory is very polluting to the environment, so it cannot make sugar by itself. Isn't this business going to run out of stamina? That's right, expand beekeeping! Honey has a higher nutritional value than white sugar, and the dosage is lower than that of white sugar. The prince took out a small notebook and wrote the word "beekeeping" on it. The production of "Baihua Honey" in the house is still very low, and nothing else is enough except for the "Baihua Honey" for medicinal use in the pills supplied to the Tai Hospital. There is a lot of talk about honey and beekeeping. Scholars from the former Soviet Union once surveyed more than 200 people over the age of 100, and more than 140 of them were beekeepers. It shows that their longevity is related to the frequent consumption of honey.
The prince decided to take beekeeping as an important project, but it could only start officially next year. At the turn of spring and summer, the garden is the best season for flowers to bloom. Honey will also be a bright spot that increases economic benefits.
Or candy. The candy I bought back is not ordinarily large, I need to use a lot of white sugar to make cold drinks, and I need to use white sugar to make pastries, and those candies can't stay for a long time. Children love candy, but they can't eat too much, as eating too much will erode their teeth. Leave some for the guests, and sell the rest. The price of sugar in Daqing is very high, a pound of white sugar can be sold for 100 yuan, which is equivalent to 20 yuan in an exotic land, and the price of candy is even higher. The price of exotic candy is also very high, and the price of high-end candy is a few hundred yuan a catty, far higher than twenty yuan. The candy bought by the three princes can only be regarded as low-grade. It was quite wise for Master to put the sugar supplies in the vegetable cellar. The prince decided to sell these candies in exotic methodological blocks. If it is sold by catties, it is difficult for ordinary people to patronize. If you sell it in blocks, you can satisfy your children's cravings, and a piece is only two or three cents, and you can afford to eat it.
As a result, a pillow-shaped white iron wrapped thing appeared on the food counter of the Nalan Department Store, and the iron sheet was nailed out of neat, horizontal rows, vertical rows of round eyes, and each round eye was inserted with a stick, flat and round, wrapped in flower paper, which was very beautiful. There is also a large, transparent bottle next to it, which contains a lot of small pieces wrapped in flower paper, which is the exotic candy. What can be inserted in the round eye of the iron sheet is the lollipop, and the glass bottle is filled with various fruit candies and toffee.
It's human nature to be curious, and when I saw such a novelty, someone asked the shopkeeper: "This brother, what is on this iron sheet?" What about in the bottle? ”
"These are sweets, for the kids."
"Well, do I want to buy two pieces and sell them? That's a little less. ”
"This is sold for nothing, at least one piece, and half a piece is not sold."
"You're joking, may I ask if there are any other names for these candies?"
"Yes, the one inserted here is called a lollipop, and the bottle contains fruit candy, milk candy, halva, starch candy, chocolate candy, and so on. This lollipop is a little bigger, three cents a piece, and the fruit candy in the bottle is one penny, and the toffee is two pennies. ”
Candy is wholesale in a foreign land, the average price is five or six yuan a catty, Yun'er is curious, how many pieces of weight are weighed over a catty, the size of the sugar cubes is different, a large piece of a pound is only more than 20 pieces, and the small piece is about 70 pieces. Such a small piece is about a dime in an exotic land, and a dime is about half a penny in the Qing Dynasty, and the lollipop is heavy, so it is balanced by size, weight and mass.
When the guest officer heard that one piece was sold, he hurriedly paid the money and bought a lollipop and two pieces of toffee for the child he had received. I asked him how to use it, and the shopkeeper gave him a demonstration, saying that the lollipop can pinch the small stick on the candy in his mouth, and the rest of the candy paper is peeled off and thrown into his mouth, and told him that he must rinse his mouth after eating sugar, because sugar has a corrosive effect on children's teeth.
Next, Yun'er taught the skills of the eight grandmothers to be a little difficult. Sticking glass beads to small people, small animals or fruits or something, this is a little more difficult than wearing a bracelet, and it is also acceptable. It's just that the glue is not easy to grasp, and it is good to grasp the essentials.
The hardest part is the handbag with colored beads, that is, the handbag with crystal glass. The entire outer layer of the bag is beaded, some of which are of a single color, and some of which are of a mixed color. There is a hard plastic sheet with a lattice as a stand, which is done with a crochet hook. It is also lined horizontally and vertically, which is very neat. The number and color of the beads are very strict, and even one of them is not enough. Wear them one by one in the prescribed quantity and color. Then form the shape of a handbag, and then hang the lining, install the belt, and zipper. It's much more complicated than sticky bears and bunnies, but it's incredibly beautiful when it's dressed. The beads used in this handbag are crystal glass beads, which are crystal clear and radiant, and look particularly noble. Of course, it will be expensive when it is sold. Handbags of various patterns were born, and Fu Jin was the first to get one, and he liked to sleep in his arms at night.
I know that there is no one who doesn't like the girls and grandmothers, but I can't do one for each of the 200 girls and grandmothers in the house. So each of them was given enough beads the size of a purse to wear, and went back to wear them themselves. These beads deducted half of the wholesale price, and that's why the girls and grandmothers are also very happy, who has a woman in the Qing Dynasty? The queen in the palace has never seen it. Naturally, everyone is tight-lipped and will not gossip.
Yun'er named this handbag the Pearl Bag. As soon as the pearl bag is on the counter, some people will go crazy, and each person is limited to one. The soldiers in the palace looked at the many times and told him: "Hurry up, someone is paying attention to you." ”
There is a royal plaque hanging here, and those who hear such a warning don't hurry up? In this way, you will not offend him, and if you shout at him and drive him out, you will definitely hold a grudge.
The next thing is to teach everyone to draw patterns, with embroidery sewing machines, embroidery or embroidered fabrics must have patterns, that is, sketches. Even if it is a sewing machine embroidery, there are more than a dozen people who can participate in the embroidery, and I am afraid that the ready-made supply of fish and water will not be busy. Therefore, drawing patterns is only learned by people within a certain range, and it is a skill to be able to draw patterns. Fortunately, the eight teaching grandmothers can draw patterns, and it is good to say that they can be traced on light-colored cloth, and they can be carried out with carbon paper. But it is difficult to trace the pattern on the dark cloth, at least it is difficult to see the brushstroke. It is very elegant to embroider light-colored flowers on dark cloth. Yun'er sent a water elimination pen used for patchwork to everyone. Then I thought of a way to carve out the hollow pattern pen path of the cardboard brought back, just like a hollow template like spraying words on the car door, and then draw the pen in the hollow with white chalk, and then use a brush to dip the white advertising color to draw it again, wow, the effect is so good! Inspired by this incident, Yun'er made an embroidery pattern mold on the cardboard downstairs on the west side of the downstairs where the stationery was installed: the part that needs to be embroidered is hollowed out, and when used, a gel pen is used to draw it out along the inside of the carved cardboard wall, and then it can be embroidered, which is very simple, faster and less troublesome and ink-saving than using a brush to draw little by little. A set of patterns is packed in a plastic film bag, which is very convenient when used. If it's all put together, it's messed up. Also inspired by this method, the design drawing of the plush toy is also turned into a cardboard template, and the template is painted with the required color, so that before making the plush toy, only the template is pressed on the cloth of the same color, and the brush path is drawn along the outside, and it can be cut directly, which saves a lot of time than making a toy painting and designing. Along this line of thought, in the future, the designed patterns are also made of cardboard as templates, and when it comes to cutting clothes, it is completed by drawing along the outer contour of cardboard.
