65 Wedding Dresses
The sky was slightly bright, the house was pitch black, and the gentle knock on the door woke Mu Xi from her sweet dream, wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth, she had a dream, dreaming that she was back in modern times, dreaming that she had found a comfortable job.
Waking up turned out to be just a dream, she hadn't been back for a long time, and she didn't know how Sister Xiao was doing now, every time she worked was introduced by Sister Xiao, she disappeared for so long, the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood must be very anxious.
Mu Xi leaned back on the couch chair in a depressed mood and whispered, "Come in"
。
Qingmei pushed the door in, "Miss, the tailor has arrived"
。
She almost forgot about it, Mu Xi patted her head, the most important thing at the moment is tomorrow's banquet, since she has come to this ghost place, then survive well, and if you come, you will be safe.
Mu Xi cheered up, picked up the design drawings on the bookcase, and said, "Let's go to the yard."
。
Sure enough, the tailor was already waiting in the courtyard, and when he saw Mu Xi slowly stepping in, he saluted, thinking, Qingmei's efficiency is not bad, Mu Xi is standing with a blanket, and it is too late to change into thick clothes, the sun has not yet risen, and the dim yard is still very cold.
"Master, this is the drawing, please cut the clothes according to this"
Mu Xi handed over the drawings in his hand, and felt a cold shiver in his heart, only to see the appearance of the old man clearly from a close distance, white hair and pale face, thin as firewood, I was really afraid that a gust of wind would blow him away, the slight body, the yellow skin on the face was wrapped, and the folds made Mu Xi think of the skull in the museum!
Those deep-set eyes were deep and bright.
The old master took the rice paper and looked at it carefully, wondering in his heart, he had cut the clothes countless times, whether it was the emperor's relatives or ordinary people, they had never seen the appearance of the clothes in the picture, and some were embarrassed, "Princess, the skirt of this dress is so wide, the fabric can't make such an effect."
。
Mu Xi glanced at the hands like the bark of old pine trees, and then looked back at the drawings in the old man's hand, she designed a modern princess-shaped wedding dress, with a tightened upper body, a high-waisted design that elongated the leg line, and a puffy skirt and layers of yarn at the hem, inlaid with bright white pearls and colored agate beads.
She wanted to get some lace and silk on the skirt and collar, but she didn't have it in ancient times, so in order to save time, forget it.
Mu Xi paused for a while, and said slowly, "Use bamboo strips to support and fix the skirt, use pale pink silk for the upper body, white cloth for the skirt, and make five layers of gauze on the skirt, the gauze must be dyed pale pink, which is the same color as the silk on the upper body, and where you need to be inlaid with pearls and agate, are all painted on this rice paper."
。
"The old slave understands, let's go"
The vicissitudes of life and the voice is flat.
"Wait, you can get the materials ready and start work in Yingluoyuan"
, This wedding dress must be a one-time success, in order to avoid mistakes, she still looks safer on the side, but the old man's body does not look very neat, after thinking about it, there should be a few more tailors, "When you go to prepare the materials, bring a few more helpers by the way"
。
The old man bowed his head, "No need, the old slave doesn't like to do things with others, the princess can rest assured that it will be completed before noon tomorrow,"
, although respectful, the tone is firm and unquestionable.
Mu Xi didn't respond, just nodded slightly, and followed the green plum into the kitchen, filled with the fragrance of wine, accompanied by the smell of chrysanthemum tea.
"Qingmei, where did you find that tailor just now?"
Mu Xi asked.
She had a gut feeling that the old man was a little weird.
"The old tailor just now,It's the most powerful person among all the tailors.,So Qingmei invited him over.,He lives in the backyard of the house.,Hardly walk around the house on weekdays.,So Miss doesn't recognize it"
。
Mu Xi sighed, raised his eyes and saw yesterday's chrysanthemum brewing, green plums and fish have been placed in the big wine tank, Mu Xi set up a stove, the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, alcohol 78 points 5 degrees Celsius, the chrysanthemum brew is heated to 78.
At 5~100 degrees Celsius, the alcohol will evaporate, and the evaporated alcohol will be collected, and it will be high-concentration alcohol.
Mu Xi placed it diagonally above the trough with bamboo to collect the steaming alcohol, the only downside was that there was no thermometer!
You can only control the heat by yourself, and you can't let the wine boil.
Time is pressing, let's try it like this for the time being, and if it succeeds, tomorrow's palace banquet will replace the wine on the seat and see how the response is.
If it fails, you don't need to be at the wedding banquet, and you will be slowly doing it in the future.
