It is impossible for Yun'er to forget Ling Juan when making patchwork. Ling Juan is an expert who uses a sewing machine, and may be the main force of patchwork in the future. With a sewing machine, that speed is gone. So Yun'er gave Ling Juan and Yu'er Shui'er no one a pocket of cotton cloth corners, and asked them to find a way to spell out the finished product. Ling Juan and Yu'er Shui'er hid in the west wing room to patchwork the cloth, and the three of them sprayed the corners of the cloth with water, folded them, and then picked out the shades of color respectively, and made a cloak according to what Yun'er said. At this time, Ling Juan was already in harmony with Yu'er Shui'er, doing things together like friends and colleagues. Yue'er and Lian'er are sterilizing various therapeutic instruments in the small kitchen in Yun'er's Courtyard, that is, they are boiled in a stainless steel steamer with boiling water, boiled and placed in a sterilized white enamel plate covered with new gauze, and then the enamel plate is packed into a transparent plastic film bag and sealed. They have begun to fulfill their duties as assistants.

It is pleasant to use a sewing machine to assemble the cloth, and the fish and water use a sewing machine for processing clothing, first putting small pieces of cloth into large pieces, enough for the size of a cloak and then bordering, and the thin cotton is covered inside.

The teaching grandmothers really admired Master Yun's generosity, not only took small pieces of patchwork materials to Yiran Lou in pockets, but also used a variety of square fabrics to make patchwork, even Ling Juan admired Yun'er very much. Before this, Ling Juan didn't have much contact with patchwork, just hearing how the patchwork looks good, she didn't expect to go to Daqing to learn patchwork, and also met Yunyun, a person who unconditionally and at no cost to supply everyone's patchwork materials.

Now the beard no longer says that there is no good fabric in the pockets of those woven bags, what is good if that kind of fabric is not good?

A batch of patchwork products were sent to Chen Ruiqian's Yulong Cloth Village and Dong Mama's second son Dong Kui's newly opened "Dong Ji Cloth Village" for sale. Yun'er is very bottomless in her heart, such commodities are all spelled out from rags, and the women of the Qing Dynasty know it at a glance. It's a bit of a crepe to call a patchwork, but it's called a hundred quilts that are understood. Within two days, there was a feedback message that the patchwork sent was sold out, and all the women from large families came to buy it, so there was no bargaining, and it was all said that it was good-looking. They know that patchwork takes time, it takes brains, and it takes a lot of work to sew it. Cloth is not worth anything, time is valuable.

Yun'er also held a patchwork competition. Before the competition, ask a few teachers to draw a sketch, which should be colored, so that you can prepare the patchwork fabric according to your sketch. After receiving the cloth similar to the color on the sketch, the teachers began to assemble the cloth. You can also do it yourself, or you can discuss it with others, as long as the patchwork work is good-looking, and the finished product is expected to be sold, you can win the award, and it will be used as a sample in the future. There are only two female ladies on the judges. Three-day time limit, no lectures for three days.

Three days later, eight teachers came to hand in the work. There is no name on the work, only a number issued in advance, which is called the number of the work. You don't need to look at it much, the second work will win the award. This is a quilt, but it has undergone strong artistic processing. The pink and white squares are staggered between the pink and white squares on the wide rim to form a nine-square grid pattern. Each cloth cube is a Hello Kitty patch. There is also a little cotton in it, which produces a very three-dimensional effect. Each Hello Kitty image is a different picture. About the same size and wearing different clothes. In Fujin's words, how can it be so beautiful? This quilt won the first prize. The second prize is also a quilt surface, and this work can be seen that the author has carefully designed and laid out a picture of a farmhouse on the quilt: there are mountains, water, the sun and two lambs and a calf. There is a vegetable garden and a few corn trees. There is also one second prize, which is an apron. The pink plaid cloth features a gray rabbit holding a rice spoon with a patchwork apron. The inside of the rabbit's ears is pale pink, and there are several small five-petal flowers at the base of the ears.

The other five works are all third prizes, and they are all exquisitely done. Looking at the numbers, the first prize was Yu'er, the second prize was Mama Zheng and Shui'er, and the rest were the third prize.

The content of the prizes is not too different, they are all the kind of particularly beautiful double sheets that come into the box, the first prize adds a pair of bright red brocade pillowcases and pillowcloths, and the second prize adds a multi-purpose towel. Everyone did it seriously, and it worked well. Each person is a very beautiful double sheet, and everyone's entries are owned by individuals. Yu'er showed her mother-in-law the prize, and Mrs. Chen was very happy for her: "We Yu'er have been smart and capable since childhood. ”

"Mother, these prizes are for you."

"Don't price, don't price, you finally got it, keep a thought for yourself. Mother has everything, you can rest assured. Your master's sister didn't lose her mother at all. The bed sheet mother already has it, and the mother knows that you are filial. We Liangzi have such a good daughter-in-law as you, and our Chen family burned high incense. ”

"Mother, don't say that, Yu'er knows that he is from a low background and is not worthy of ...... father-in-law"

"No nonsense! The mother's son is also excellent, the daughter is also excellent, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter are also excellent! Don't be too tired, give birth to a fat doll for your mother when the time comes. ”

A few teaching grandmothers taught the patchwork skills they had learned to the girl in charge of the lot, and two hundred people made patchwork together, which was not the corner of four boxes. Tian Liang hooked down forty pockets of Shanghai cloth corners from the large stack of small Li cloth heads, with an average of five people per pocket cloth corner. After learning the method, everyone used the assigned corners to fight by themselves. These girls in the house are not idle people. Among them, a large part of them are palace maids from the palace, and they are very good at needlework. The patchwork made is really varied and ingenious. Among them, there are really boutique products with novel ideas, and the boutique ones are naturally samples. The authors who were used as samples were given material rewards. The prize depends on the level, and the best work is given the highest prize: the flower sheet that everyone envies. This sheet could be used as a dowry!

The third-class maid Yue'er got a piece of fabric of chemical fiber silk, which should be used as a curtain. Yue'er didn't know what to do, so she came to ask Yu'er. As a result, I met Master Yun who went home to deliver milk. Yun'er told her that the width of this piece of silk was seven feet four inches, and it could be cut from the middle to make two cheongsams. The windows of the Qing Dynasty are all papier-mâché, and there is no need for curtains, and many of the patterns of the curtain cloth are beautiful lace in the upper and lower parts. It just so happens that the cheongsams of the Qing Dynasty have trim or piping. In this way, the material of each cheongsam on each side is cut.

Yun'er's click made Yue'er suddenly open her mouth. If you really make a cheongsam from the prize given by the master, I don't know how beautiful it will be.

After Mama Zheng picked out the large piece of cloth, she used a scale, the original four pockets should be 80 kilograms, 160 kilograms, and now there are more than 90 catties left, and the girls and grandmothers in the courtyard are thirty, and each person is given three catties of cloth corners. There are all kinds of shapes, all kinds of colors. Three catties is still a lot, one by one happily took it back, this time the distribution angle is not according to the grade, no matter how many kinds of maids are all three catties per person. So everyone is very happy, the master treats them equally, and it is much better than other mansions. Even those who came from the palace were very impressed by the kindness of Master Yun, who did not count them one by one, but talked about the scales, and no one complained.

TV and novels all regard palace fights, house fights, and house fights as a very hot topic, and describe these wealthy fights in different ways. Of course, all kinds of battles exist, perhaps harsh. But the prince and Fujin hated this kind of war without gunpowder from the day they built the mansion: the master bullied the slave, the wife bullied the concubine, and the slave assassinated the master for a little profit, and the fight became more and more ruthless and fierce. Therefore, the government rules set by the prince are absolutely not allowed to have a government fight, and anyone who violates it will be punished according to the severity of the situation.

In fact, no one likes to fight, whether it is a master or a slave. Isn't it good to live a good life? The prince has been a monk for many years, and fighting is strictly forbidden in the precepts of the temple, so his philosophy is to be calm and good. After a long time, everyone has tasted the benefits of peace, the atmosphere is very positive, and people care for each other, are considerate of each other, and have fun!

In contrast, the thinking of the Qing Dynasty people is relatively conservative, and more than half of the girls still regard Baijia clothes and Baina quilts as the most orthodox patchwork, but they are more avant-garde, spelling out a pillow, an apron and a door curtain.

Mama Zheng is also good, she put together two seat cushions, a few chairs, and a few tea coasters; Mama Liu spells the blanket and the baggage, and the bun spells the schoolbag, which is a bit new. The second-class maids Keer and Xin'er also spelled out their wallets and hats, and began to break away from the trap of the hundred clothes.

Women have feminine characteristics, and there are really not many who don't like cloth and don't want to do needlework. The corners of the cloth that Fujin gave everyone were effectively used to the point that only the slag remained, and if they couldn't use it, they packed the remaining pieces into a cardboard box, and maybe they could be used for the last time in the future. Fu Jin has lived a simple life since he married the prince, he doesn't throw away anything easily, he doesn't hoard anything, and he uses it quickly when he can. No one in the palace is so good at living. Fu Jin's work is a hundred quilts, three catties of cloth corners made of two hundred quilts and two mattresses. In her words, it would be good if it worked.

A few days later, Yun'er came to see the situation, she couldn't ask the girl in Fujin's room to be the same as the one in her room, Yu'er Shui Er often ate small stoves, and her vision was much broader. The designed patchwork works are more and more out of the trap of the Qing Dynasty. The other more delicate mothers were also good, so Yun'er once again expressed her encouragement, and each girl was given a pack of eight pairs of thin nylon socks, a medium-quality silk scarf, a pack of hand polish, and a pair of ten band-aids. Fujin also got these prizes, but with an extra bottle of "Friendship Brand" alabaster and a one-foot-long, six-and-a-half-inch-wide plastic-framed makeup mirror.

Fu Jin was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and said to Mama Zheng: Look at my prizes, there are several more than all of you. ”

"You shouldn't call it a prize, it should be a worry fee."

"It doesn't matter what kind of award he has, what kind of fee he has, people give me things for nothing, but it's just a happy scene.

People have exchanged all the antiques in the house for money, can you do it? Can you? It's just a pleasure, is it interesting to think so much? ”

"Okay, your heart is about to catch up with Master Yun's growth."

"If you want to say that my heart is big, I should be bigger than the cloud master,"

Yun'er didn't continue to let everyone patchwork, in fact, she wanted to teach the skills of the sewing machine to a few teaching mothers, and everyone was proficient in using it, and the efficiency of using the sewing machine to patchwork was much higher, or it would indeed take a lot of time to sew a small piece of cloth together. You can only pause and learn the next skill. The best patchwork is the fish, and the difference between her and other girls is that she has the foundation of painting. Uniquely followed Yun'er, who could draw, and received a lot of beauty edification. In addition, Yun'er's thinking is active, both traditional and out-of-the-box, not as conservative as Qing women. After going to a foreign land for a year, she subtly accepted a lot of foreign aesthetic views, and after coming back, she also had a great influence on the fish, so in her patchwork works, cloth baskets, puppets, pillows and shoulders appeared. It's all something that others didn't expect, and Yun'er didn't show her samples or pictures, so she came up with it.

The next skill is to see the stitches and insert the needle, which is to teach a few more delicate mothers to draw embroidery drafts. In the days to come, embroidery will definitely be sold in the house, Yun'er herself is a painter, and it is a great irony for her to ask someone to paint embroidery manuscripts. So Yun'er took out a few embroidery patterns and studied them for a few days, and understood a truth, that is, the embroidery manuscript is very similar to Gongbi painting, which is not as complex as Gongbi painting. It must have a single face, but it can be embroidered to the level of natural transitions like ink painting. Yu'er Shui Er has been painting color stickers for a while, and has a little understanding of line segments and colors.

The embroidery is not very difficult for Yun'er, the difficulty is to trace the pattern from the embroidery to the embroidery cloth. Most of the girls are illiterate, and if they are illiterate, they will not be able to hold a brush, and the sketches are made with a brush, and it is a very thin brush. Don't look at them to read, but they don't usually write much, and it's not easy to pick them up. The most serious is Momoko, who knows how to read but rarely writes, jokingly saying: "When I take the pen, my hands tremble unobediently as if I am going to sell my son or daughter." ”

Yun'er said: "You are not selling your sons and daughters, you are negotiating at Panmunjom." ”

"Oh?" Everyone was stunned, had they never heard of a shop that sold door panels? What is the hand shaking when buying a door panel?

Yun'er thought that the sketch was not a skill, and she could pass the test in ten or eight days at most, but her hands were still shaking after half a month. That's half an hour a day! Who knows how long is half an hour? When you don't shake it before you pass the level and go down.

Mama Zheng asked Shui'er to ask Yun'er, are there any more difficult skills? Yun'er's answer was: The mouse pulls the wooden shovel, and the big head is behind. Mama Zheng is happy and scared: learning skills is a good thing, multiple skills will have multiple jobs, and I am afraid that I will not lose face if I learn.

Yun'er told Mama Zheng through Shui'er that she would not give anyone no face and not be able to get off the stage.

Time passed day by day, and Yun'er's spirit was not so nervous, because people's receptivity is different, and they can't use their own brain reaction speed to ask others. My brain's receptivity has been expanded by Master. Besides, it's not realistic to ask everyone to learn such a variety of skills in a matter of months. Yun'er used the first day to teach. On the second and third days, everyone has an understanding and proficiency process. Even the day of teaching is only a class for one hour, so Yun'er has enough time to paint. That's what she does.
