Chapter 13 Knitting a sweater
Li Zhi's ears also sounded the vicious warning voice of the county lord of Qingqi: "The old problem has been committed again?" Believe it or not, I plucked your eyeballs off? In front of these many people, you have to pay attention to keep the wind instrument! ”
"I'm just fantasizing about what will happen to us in the future, looking at your eyes is just a matter of getting used to it, who wants you to be so seductive?"
"Do you want to blame me?"
"How dare the little one? You're a few ranks higher than me just for your title! If you want to blame, you can only blame your appearance of sinking fish and geese, the shy flowers are closed and the moon is beautiful, and there is a woman like jade by your side, how can you ask me to wash the raccoon yarn in Jiangtou again! ”
"Huh? Is it a word you come up with? ”
Of course, Li Zhi can't admit that he has changed Wang Wei's "Luoyang Daughter's Travel", although it is quite nondescript, "Of course!" Don't know your man's profound writing skills? ”
"Nasty! Just know the flim tongue! ”
"That's what you provoked, too! Originally, I was thinking of a very realistic solution. ”
"About us? Let's talk about it. ”
"Actually, it's simple, what I think is that even if happiness only shows a thread, I have the ability to pull it out and weave it into a sweater."
"It seems very emotional, but can I ask what a sweater is?"
"This is also a business that I think will be done by you in the future! Sweaters are garments woven from a kind of wool from the Western Regions, which refers to yarn spun from wool. The velvet thread is woven together according to various fancy crosses, which can be made into various velvet products, such as sweaters, hats, scarves and other clothing supplies. Plush knitting has the characteristics of lightness, warmth, bright color, variety, durability, easy to carry and ready to be renovated. ”
"And this kind of dress? Sounds weird! ”
"In the open Tang Dynasty, the influence of foreign culture would permeate all aspects of Tang people's social life, and clothing would of course also undergo great changes. Contemporary clothing fashion will gradually be influenced by foreign Hu style, and the kind of daily wear will also be included in the clothing color system used to distinguish between the noble and the low, this historical change is irrepressible! After all, it is the general trend to put on and take off cumbersome and inconvenient court dresses, sacrificial dresses and other dresses, and it will gradually become a virtual thing sooner or later, and the status of regular clothes will only become increasingly important. ”
"Is it so serious? Do you mean that I will organize people to develop fleece sweaters on a large scale? ”
"Yes! Considering people's cognition and receptivity at this stage, the initial sweater was limited to inner clothing, and in inland plain areas such as Chang'an City, there are four distinct seasons of cold, warm, dry and wet, and the winter is cold, windy, foggy, and less rain and snow; Warm, dry, watery spring; Coupled with the drought, rain and waterlogging, hail, gale, hot and dry wind and low temperature frost damage of perennial natural disasters, cashmere wool knitted clothes of different thicknesses are tightly wrapped, and the outer Tang robe is not easy to detect, which is the most suitable! ”
"Oh my God! What does Brother Zhengwen's head contain, how can there be so many bizarre inventions? I think it's doable, but it needs to be a ready-made pattern to deepen that thing. ”
"Concept!"
"Yes, that's what you call a concept! After all, others are not yourself, and there is nothing that has been formed in your head. ”
"Then you will often come to me these days, I will teach you to knit by hand, it is best to bring a few craftsmen who are familiar with weaving by the way, and then there are ingenious people to learn together!"
"Do you want to bring in any more sheep that are in the shearing season? Why do I think you're prevaricating? ”
"Your feeling is very accurate, knitting sweaters is a woman's work, you want me to be a big man like a woman, sitting on the kang all day long crochet lead?"
"Hee-hee, that's true! So let's start tomorrow? ”
"It's better for you to arrange in advance to weave the velvet and then come, it is a solid color, and when you are skilled, you can dye and weave the velvet yarn into different colors."
"You don't have to bother with this, I'll find someone to solve it quickly!"
When Li was a child, he learned how to knit sweaters from his mother, which was nothing more than the conversion of techniques such as upper needle, lower needle, plus needle, and parallel needle.
As long as you master these basic stitches, you can weave endless patterns.
When weaving, different patterns should be selected according to different types of wool, wearing objects, structural styles, wearing requirements, seasonal changes, etc., and the size of the main parts such as chest circumference, body length, shoulder width, sleeve length, cuffs and so on should be accurately measured, and knitted according to the structure of the sweater, so as to get a beautiful, comfortable and fitting effect.
Although the variety of colors he can remember is very limited, it is not his business that the basic stitches are passed on, and if he wants to create more styles, the minds of women are far more sensitive than those of the old men.
Moreover, the wool can also be woven with different styles of scarves, shawls, hats, together with sweaters, shoulders, etc., to the upper class relatives and friends near the left, dignitaries and nobles, which not only reflects the sincerity, but also rich in creativity, and can play a miraculous effect of twice the result with half the effort for the next sales.
Li Zhi did not feel at all difficult to use sweaters to guide the fashion trend of Chang'an City and even the entire Tang Dynasty, and the pursuit of the fashion trend of Hufu in the history of Datang was not limited to superficial acceptance, but preferred to collect and absorb certain factors in Hufu with an open mind, and integrate them into the original clothing culture.
In addition, due to women's natural love of beauty and new psychology, as well as the general pursuit and appreciation of female beauty in society, compared with the style, color and other more conservative, traditional men's and women's clothing, they can always be the most keenly step on and reflect the social popular beat.
It was on the basis of accurately grasping the trend and trend of the times that the Hu style was overflowing, and the women of the Tang Dynasty either directly used the Hu clothes as they were, or integrated the two factors of the Hu and Han dynasties, so as to create a women's clothing style with a new atmosphere of the times.
Generally speaking, the "standard image" of men wearing Hu clothes in the Tang Dynasty is to wear a hood or a hat, a robe with a lack of hips, and black leather six-fold boots; The "standard image" of women wearing hufu is to wear a hat or still combed bun, small pants underneath, soft leather boots or brocade boots, and it is also popular to wear a full set of men's hufu.
The hat and hat are typical examples of Tang Dynasty clothing influenced by Hu Feng, which is a historical verification that I saw on the day of my rebirth.
"But your status as a Houmen is not enough for you to manage personally, and I will also let you be in charge of the liaison between the paper workshop and the county king's mansion in the future, at this time, you should pay attention to the talents suitable for management and operation in advance!" And when the weaving handicraft is mature, you can draw the robe craftsmen in the court, add gold and silver filigree, pearls and gemstones, and weave a higher quality, and the dress and court dress correspond to the more high-end goods, so as to win the most prestigious clothing brand in one fell swoop! ”
"What is a brand?"
"It's the font size! A brand in a broad sense is an intangible asset with economic value, which is a comprehensive reflection of abstract, unique and recognizable mental concepts to express its differences, so as to occupy a certain position in people's consciousness, and its construction has a long-term effect. ”
"Brother Zhengwen, I didn't expect that you learned so much knowledge during your trip to the Western Regions, and it is some fresh vocabulary, which I have never heard of! Although I don't quite understand some words, fortunately, I can guess a rough idea, otherwise it will be easy to communicate with you in the future, wouldn't it be easy for the donkey's lips to be wrong with the horse's mouth? ”
"Although it is a little vulgar, what kind of lips and mouths of yours always sound a little ambiguous to me?"
"I hate it! Brother Wen, my sister is talking to you seriously! ”
Her voice was soft and tactful, and her demeanor was coquettish with a hint of shyness, which stimulated Li's heart to stir.
Just as he was about to speak again, Yang Gaotang, who had been thinking for a long time, had already spoken: "Little Marquis, to be honest, I was shocked by your high remarks. It seems that you were very hidden before, even if all your changes were due to your trip to the Western Regions in less than two years, but I think that the future of the government must be caused by your dense thoughts! There are some things I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"Uncle Yang, but it's okay to say!"
"Even if you don't say anything about the current situation in the imperial court, I know that you must have a judgment in your chest, but in the future, you must not reveal anything like that to the outside world! Because of the clouds and wind flying in the court now, it is the treacherous and difficult to distinguish the stall, that is, the king of Linhuai County is also tight-lipped in the court, and it is easy not to show it, no matter whether it is related to the inside and outside of the court, all major events must not be discussed later, you must keep this in mind! ”
As he spoke, his stern eyes swept around, making everyone present feel cold.
The meaning of its stern warning is also penetrating, of course, it is aimed at others except Li Zhi and the county lord of Qingqi.
Li Zhi was also pleased in his heart, Yang Gaotang's move was undoubtedly a metaphor for himself, which could give him enough trust to verify the accuracy, and it seemed that it was extremely correct to explain the matter with the little county lord to him.
