162 Competitions (3)

After leaving from Sister Li's "Yu Huan", Shen Guanguan went straight back to Shen's house, Ji Cong'an would still be working overtime in the company, so he didn't go back, after dinner, Shen Maowen went out because he had something to deal with, Shen Guanguan sat on the sand and waited for Ji Cong'an to pick him up.

"Guanguan, come, eat some strawberries." Sister Yan washed the strawberries and brought them to Shen Guanguan in front of her, and said to Shen Guanguan, "You should eat more fruits now, it's good for your health." ”

"Okay." Shen Guanguan tasted one and couldn't help but admire, "Sister Yan, this strawberry is so sweet." ”

"Really?" Sister Yan laughed and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her, "I didn't go to watch your game today, I just went to pick this strawberry for you, Guanguan, there is still a basket over there, you can take it back later, put some salt in warm water when washing, so that it can be washed clean." ”

Sister Yan poured some hot water for Shen Guanguan, "This strawberry is too easy to spoil, so I don't pick much, if you like to eat it, just tell me, and I'll pick fresh ones for you." ”

"Don't bother, Sister Yan." Shen Guanguan looked at Sister Yan in front of him gratefully, and said, "I have a lot of things to trouble you, some time ago things were piled up like a mountain, I even forgot to invite Sister Li when I got married, if I hadn't gone to Yuhuan today, I wouldn't have known that you helped me send joy candy over, Sister Yan, I have already had a lot of things to trouble you." ”

"What do you say is troublesome or not?" Sister Yan frowned and looked at Shen Guanguan in front of her, "We are a family, how can this little thing be considered trouble?" Besides, if it weren't for you, where would I have had this opportunity to help you? ”

"That's what I said, but Sister Yan, I'm always bothering you, and I can't help it, besides, if I always trouble you so much, my dad should be distressed when I look back." Shen Guanguan said with a smile.

"You kid, this mouth is so ......" Sister Yan looked at Shen Guanguan in front of her helplessly, remembering that Shen Guanguan said that she had been to "Yu Huan" today, she frowned and asked, "But Guan Guan, why do you have time to go to Yu Huan today?" ”

"It's not about the game." Shen Guanguan frowned and said, "The topic of today's competition is to make a cheongsam for myself thirty years later, and I also require the contestants to bring their own cheongsam, I didn't want to trouble Sister Li, but this competition is very important, and I have no choice but to go, so I went to Yu Huan, I originally wanted Sister Li to guide me to make a piece of fabric, but I didn't expect her to be very busy over there, but she gave me a piece of fabric." ”

Shen Guanguan took out the fabric given by Sister Li and handed it to Sister Yan in front of her, Sister Yan took the fabric and looked around, her brows slightly solemn.

"What's wrong, Sister Yan?" Shen Guanguan noticed that Sister Yan's expression was not quite right, and asked with a frown.

"Guan Guan, this time you owe Sister Li a favor, which is a big debt." Sister Yan frowned and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her.

Shen Guanguan was stunned for a moment, and asked Sister Yan in front of him, "What do you mean?" I know that the price of this fabric is definitely not cheap, but is there any special meaning? ”

"That's right." Sister Yan said lightly, "Guan Guan, Guo Yali and I have grown up together, for Yu Huan, I know better than anyone else, Yali's tie-dyeing skills are completely inherited from her mother, Guo's mother spent her whole life and studied a new tie-dye technique, but unfortunately, Guo's mother has not had time to teach this tie-dye technique to Yali, she has died of illness, Yali has studied all her life, and has never understood the essentials, the cloth she gave you is one of the few cloths left by Guo's mother. ”

After Sister Yan's words, Shen Guanguan's face also became solemn, "Sister Yan, I don't know if this cloth is too heavy, if I knew, I would definitely not take it." ”

This is a relic left by Guo's mother to Sister Li, Shen Guanguan suddenly felt that the cloth in front of him was heavy, "No, I have to send this cloth back to Sister Li, I can't accept it." ”

"Stop." Sister Yan stopped Shen Guanguan in front of her, and said to Shen Guanguan, "Guanguan, since Sister Li has already given it to you, she will never take it back, I advise you not to run this trip in vain." ”

"But ......" Shen Guanguan frowned, "It's really stressful for me to hold such a valuable cloth in my hand, I'm afraid I can't do ......it well."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sister Yan frowned slightly, and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her, "Guanguan, you just treat it as an ordinary cloth, you just need to do it well and do your best." ”

"I still don't feel solid in my heart." Shen Guanguan frowned and said, "Sister Yan, you said that I owe Sister Li a big favor, how can I pay it back in the future?" ”

"As for you, as long as you make a cheongsam with peace of mind, and let Sister Li see this cloth waving its 100% usefulness, this is enough." Sister Yan patted Shen Guanguan's shoulder and comforted Shen Guanguan in front of her, "We who make clothes like to see the clothes we make the most when the guests smile with satisfaction after wearing them, and Yali is the same, she can see the cloth left by her mother turn into a unique cheongsam, she will definitely be very happy." ”

"Really?" Shen Guanguan frowned slightly, and said to Sister Yan in front of him, "Then I will definitely behave well tomorrow, by the way, Sister Yan, please pick up Sister Li when you go to the venue tomorrow, I want Sister Li to see her fabric become the cheongsam in my hand." ”

"Don't worry, I will." Sister Yan said with a smile, it happened that Ji Cong'an came to pick up Shen Guanguan, Shen Guanguan stood up, Sister Yan took a basket of strawberries to Shen Guanguan, and then said to Shen Guanguan in front of her, "Guanguan, go back and go to bed early, tomorrow is the last day of the competition, don't have too much pressure, just treat it with a normal heart." ”

Shen Guanguan nodded heavily, and said to Sister Yan, "I will." ”

Shen Guanguan couldn't sleep all night, Ji Cong'an slept shallowly, and now Shen Guanguan couldn't sleep anymore beside him, so he turned on the light and asked Shen Guanguan in front of him, "Guanguan, what's wrong?" Can't sleep? ”

"Hmm." Shen Guanguan got up and took a sip of water, and said to Ji Cong'an in front of him, "I don't know what's wrong, I just can't sleep." ”

"Thinking about tomorrow's game?" Ji Cong'an turned on the light, went downstairs and warmed a glass of milk and handed it to Shen Guanguan, then asked Shen Guanguan.

Shen Guanguan took the milk cup in his hand and nodded slightly, "I don't know what's wrong, I'm always a little uneasy in my heart, and I always feel like something will go wrong in tomorrow's game." ”

"You're just thinking too much." Ji Cong'an looked at Shen Guanguan in front of him helplessly, and said to Shen Guanguan, "Hurry up and drink the milk, go to bed early, and only then will you have the energy to play well tomorrow, you know?" ”

Shen Guanguan drank milk, and under Ji Cong'an's soft voice, he became sleepy and fell asleep.

The next day's competition was scheduled for the afternoon, because it was the finals, so there were a lot of people to see, as soon as Shen Guanguan entered the door, he saw Sister Li who was greeting Sister Yan, and stepped forward without hesitation, and said to Sister Li in front of her, "Sister Li, the origin of that piece of cloth, Sister Yan told me." ”

Sister Li Yun smiled lightly, and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her, "Guanguan, this cloth can only exert its effect in your hand, so don't have too much pressure, I want to see its light side on you, understand?" ”

"I will." Shen Guanguan looked at Sister Li in front of him gratefully, and said lightly.

As soon as Shen Yating entered the door, she saw Sister Li and Sister Yan standing together, she didn't know Sister Li, she couldn't help but turn her head to Su Ming in front of her and asked, "Mom, who is the woman standing with Gao Yan, why have I never seen it before?" ”

Although Shen Yating began to study with Sister Yan very early, Sister Yan always kept a hand, so it is normal for Shen Yating not to know Sister Li, but after all, Su Ming has been Mrs. Shen for so long, she still knows Sister Li.

When she saw Sister Li appear here, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Su Ming's face, "This Gao Yan really did everything for Shen Guanguan, and even Guo Yali was invited, which is really too much." ”

"Guo Yali?" Shen Yating didn't know Guo Yali, but she had heard of this name, and when she heard Su Ming mention this name, Shen Yating couldn't help frowning, and asked Su Ming in front of her, "Is that Yu Huan's boss lady, Guo Yali?" ”

"That's right." Su Ming nodded slightly, her face solemn, "I didn't expect Gao Yan to invite Guo Yali for Shen Guanguan, this is really surprising to me." ”

"Mom, what's so powerful about this Guo Yali?" Shen Yating couldn't help frowning, after all, Su Ming had been in the Shen family for so long, and there were a few pieces of good cloth in her hand, for this Shen Yating competition, Su Ming took out the cloth that she had treasured for many years, but seeing Shen Guanguan and the proprietress of "Yu Huan" standing together, Shen Yating's heart was slightly panicked.

"Let me tell you that." Su Ming frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said to Shen Yating in front of her, "Looking at the whole Hangzhou, although the red hall is second to none in making cheongsam, there are also one or two cheongsam shops chasing after them, but if it is to say that it is dyeing cloth, except for Yu Huan, there is no dye shop in Hangzhou that can enter the eye." ”

"Especially the pieces of cloth left by Guo Yali's mother, it can almost be said that they are priceless, if Guo Yali really handed over the pieces of cloth left by her mother to Shen Guanguan, then in terms of fabric, we have lost completely." Su Ming frowned tightly and said to Shen Yating in front of her.

Shen Yating frowned slightly, "Is it so exaggerated?" ”

She obviously didn't believe what Su Ming said, "Mom, most of the cloth used in the Red Pavilion is from Yu Huan, I know this, but isn't there also a part of it from other provinces?" Of the few pieces of cloth you treasured, several of them are still Dad's ...... No, it was Shen Maowen who auctioned it off and gave it to you, is it not as good as a Guo Yali? ”

Shen Yating was obviously a little disdainful, but Su Ming understood, shook her head slightly, and said to Shen Yating in front of her, "Yating, of course there is nothing to be afraid of a Guo Yali, her cloth is more than enough to deal with the guests of the Red Pavilion, and it is not as good as the few pieces that Shen Maowen gave me, but if she gives Shen Guan the few pieces of cloth left by her mother, then we will definitely lose." ”

Su Ming frowned tightly, and said with a slight nervousness, "Guo Yali's mother's cloth is worth our five pieces of cloth, so can you understand?" ”

To be honest, if you want to talk about technology, Shen Guanguan and Shen Yating may still be between them, but if they have already lost a lot in the fabric, then Shen Yating is likely to lose.

When she heard Su Ming say this to herself, Shen Yating couldn't help frowning, and said to Su Ming in front of her, "Mom, what should we do now?" ”

"No, we have to think of a way, we must not let Shen Guanguan win so easily." Su Ming frowned tightly, her eyes glanced at the assistant on the side to bring up the cloth, Su Ming saw the coffee cup in her hand, and already had an idea in her heart, "Yating, you go and drag Shen Guanguan, I want to find a way to destroy Shen Guanguan's cloth, I want to see, without this cloth, what will Shen Guanguan do to win us." ”

"Okay." Shen Yating nodded slightly, and walked straight towards Shen Guanguan in front of her, "Yo, this is not Shen Guanguan, I didn't expect you to really have the face to come and compare with me." ”

Shen Guanguan frowned slightly, and said to Shen Yating in front of him, "Shen Yating, if you really have the ability, we'll see you on the field in a while, don't always run in front of me to play tricks with me, I'm tired if you're not tired." ”

Shen Yating sneered, and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her, "I didn't expect Gao Yan to invite Guo Yali out in order to help you, Shen Guanguan, your luck is indeed good, but this cheongsam is not by luck, it is by strength, even if you have Guo Yali's cheongsam in your hand, what I have in my hand is the cloth that Shen Maowen spent a lot of money to get back from the auction, and it is not certain who loses and who wins." ”

"You're right." Shen Guanguan smiled faintly, and said to Shen Yating in front of him, "Of course, making cheongsam does not rely on luck, let alone any cloth, the most important thing is that making cheongsam will definitely not rely on lip service, Shen Yating, if you have this idle time to play tricks with me here, it is better to practice your skills again." ”

"You ......" Shen Yating was angry, raised her palm and wanted to hit Shen Guanguan, but was stopped by Sister Yan on the side, "Shen Yating, if you want to be disqualified from the competition, you can slap this slap now, but I can remind you that you are really bold to openly threaten other contestants." ”

"Humph!" Shen Yating sneered and let go of her hand, "Shen Guanguan, let's see, I will never let you win this game so easily." ”

Shen Yating dragged Shen Guanguan to speak, and the fate on the side had also walked in front of the staff, pretending to be casual and wandering around, taking advantage of the staff's inattention, a cup of coffee was splashed directly on Shen Guanguan's cloth, fortunately, Ji Cong'an on the side was quick-eyed, and brought the tray containing the cloth to the side, and a cup of coffee was splashed on Ji Cong'an's dark suit, and a few drops of coffee stains fell on the pale yellow cloth.

Su Ming's movement on this side still attracted Shen Guanguan, Shen Guan was in a panic, knowing that something was wrong, he hurried over, and Sister Yan on the side hurriedly pulled Shen Guanguan, "Guan Guan, beware of the child in the belly, don't worry." ”

Shen Guanguan slowed down the movements on his feet, and hurried to Ji Cong'an's side, and frowned slightly when he saw the coffee stains on Ji Cong'an's body, "Cong'an, how are you?" Is there something wrong? ”

"It's fine." Ji Cong'an's body was stained with coffee stains, but it was a small matter, the most important thing was these few drops of coffee stains on the cloth, Ji Cong'an turned around slightly, staring at Su Ming holding a coffee cup with gloomy eyes, Su Ming was stared at with goosebumps, and hurriedly explained to Ji Cong'an in front of him, "That, I really didn't mean it, I just wanted to come to see the craftsmanship of the former boss Yu Huan, I didn't stand firm for a while, the cloth is fine, right?" ”

"Fuck off." Shen Guanguan didn't feel sorry for this piece of cloth, but he felt sorry for Guo's mother's craftsmanship being ruined in vain, and he felt sorry for Sister Li's friendship with him.

Su Ming pretended to check and was pushed away by Shen Guanguan, she had already seen the coffee stains on the cloth between the lightning and flint, and couldn't help but sneer, and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her, pretending to be sorry, "Guan Guan, I'm really embarrassed, I'll go first." ”

After Su Ming said this, she slipped away and ran to Shen Yating's side to report the good news, Shen Yating also laughed happily when she knew the news, "Shen Guanguan, I see how you still fight with me." ”

"Cong'an, you go and change your clothes first, in this winter, it's easy to catch a cold when you wear wet clothes." The matter has already happened, Shen Guanguan is surprisingly calm, and after Ji Cong'an left, Shen Guanguan looked at the cloth in front of him distressedly.

Sister Li and Yan prostitutes also came around, and Sister Yan carefully checked the cloth on her hand, "Guanguan, the place where these coffee stains are distributed is in the key parts, and now it's too late to wash it......"

"Otherwise, I'll ask Rose to send another piece of cloth." Sister Li frowned slightly and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her.

Shen Guanguan hurriedly stopped Sister Li in front of him, and said to Sister Li, "No need Sister Li, the game is about to start, even if you let Rose send it over, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"So what now? No matter how good the fabric is, if it is on these coffee stains, it will definitely only lose. Sister Li frowned tightly and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her.

Shen Guanguan stared at the fabric in his hand for a long time and said nothing.

Sister Yan frowned slightly, and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her, "Guanguan, you need to calm down at this time, accidents in any situation in the game may occur, you have to find a way to turn these accidents into your own opportunities." ”

Shen Guanguan frowned and thought for a while, then said to Sister Yan in front of him, "Sister Yan, if I'm not mistaken, there should be needles and threads in the bag you carry, you go and get it for me." ”

Seeing that Shen Guanguan thought of an idea so quickly, Sister Yan smiled with relief, and said to Shen Guanguan in front of her, "You wait, I'll get it for you now." ”

Sister Yan took the needle and thread and handed it to Shen Guanguan, and then asked worriedly, "Guanguan, although this is a good idea, but the time is so short, if you want to embroider on it, if you make a mistake, this cloth will really be ruined." ”

"Until now, it can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor." Shen Guanguan frowned slightly, and said to Sister Yan in front of him, "Sister Yan, believe me, Shen Yating and Su Ming want to use this method to force me to withdraw from this competition, dreaming!" ”

Shen Guanguan sneered, and said to Sister Yan in front of him, "As long as I still have a glimmer of hope, I am willing to try, I will never give up this competition like this, whether I win or lose, I must do my best." ”

"Good Guanguan, this is my Shen Maowen's daughter." Shen Maowen heard that something happened to Shen Guanguan, so he hurried over, and happened to hear Shen Guanguan say this, he couldn't help laughing, and said to Shen Guanguan in front of him, "Guanguan, as long as you try your best to compete, whether you win or lose, Dad won't blame you." ”

"Don't worry, Dad." Shen Guanguan laughed and said to Shen Maowen in front of him, "I will definitely win this competition." ”

"Then I'll wait to give you the award." Shen Maowen laughed, originally wanted to comfort Shen Guanguan, but he didn't expect to see Shen Guanguan so scrappy, Shen Maowen's heart was very relieved, "Guanguan, the game is about to start, you prepare well." ”

"Okay." Shen Guanguan responded lightly, and when the host announced the start of the competition, Shen Guanguan began to cut skillfully, and the process of making cheongsam was mainly divided into three parts: cutting, drawing and embroidery.

Traditional cheongsams are usually ankle-length, and there are also short cheongsams that sit about an inch at the knee. In modern times, the waist of the cheongsam is more and more fitted. The simple and well-fitting line structure replaces the delicate handmade.

Sister Yan once taught Shen Guanguan that modern cheongsam uses a large number of common special techniques such as edging, piping and trimming to decorate the cheongsam, so Shen Guanguan used the technique of three-color edging this time.

The flower button decoration of the cheongsam is also very distinctive, the cheongsam button has the role of other clothing buttons, it is not just a button, but a beautiful ornament of the cheongsam itself, the flower button is located in the cheongsam collar, placket, can play the finishing touch, the pattern used, mostly for the dragon, phoenix, peacock, blessing, green, longevity, happiness, auspicious Ruyi, etc., echoing with traditional Chinese culture, Shen Guanguan chose the plum blossom buckle this time, Sister Yan has been watching from the sidelines, Seeing Shen Guanguan busy with the movements in his hands with such a clear mind, he nodded with satisfaction.

Sister Li glanced at Shen Guanguan in front of her, and said to Sister Yan beside her, "Guan Guan's style of making cheongsam still has a bit of your posture back then." ”

"Of course." Sister Yan laughed and said to Sister Li in front of her, "You can also see who taught this apprentice." ”

"You can't say that." Sister Li laughed, "If you really talk about it, Guan Guan has to call me a master." ”
