Chapter 43: Making a Wedding Dress

Hu Xianglan touched the black and shiny body of the sewing machine with pity, and sighed: "To make clothes, you still have to have a sewing machine, such a good object, no wonder everyone likes it." ”

This kind of expensive and large item, even the girls in the city can hardly imagine in this era, and it is not easy to use such a life now.

When she was not married before, Hu Xianglan felt that the days of sitting in front of the sewing machine and making clothes every day were boring. But now she doesn't think so, and there is an incomparable fullness and vividness in her heart.

These days, Hu Xianglan thinks that the rhythmic jumping of the needles on her face wrapped in silk threads looks so interesting!

She fell in love with this job completely, and it made her feel a different kind of fun than before.

Coupled with the coat made for Xu Rujin this time, it makes her feel that making clothes is alive, creative and alive!

"We're going to have a sewing machine soon. Xu Rujin said with a smile, "I have asked Brother Lin to buy it for me." ”

Hu Xianglan was very surprised when she heard this, "This must be more than a hundred yuan, right?"

Xu Rujin nodded and said, "Almost, our family has saved about 300 yuan now." ”

"Is it already so much?" Hu Xianglan actually always knew that Xu Rujin and Ye Chengwei made some money by selling things on the black market, but they didn't expect to make so much money in just over a month.

Xu Rujin nodded, "After buying a sewing machine, we can still take on some work to make clothes." ”

Hu Xianglan was relieved, otherwise she felt that it was a waste to buy a sewing machine in order to make clothes for her family. She nodded, "Okay, I'll do it too, so you can have an easier time." ”

"But will this rob the Lin family's business?" Hu Xianglan looked at the sewing machine in front of her and remembered that this was originally the Lin family's.

"No, it won't. Xu Rujin explained: "We don't do the work of sewing and mending, only the fabric of the clothes." "The Lin family has helped their family a lot, and she would never do such an ungrateful thing......

......

Early the next morning, Xu Rujin got up early and called Ye Chengwei, this time she wanted to teach him how to make mung bean cake.

Fresh mung beans are soaked in water overnight, and then put on the steamer to steam for an hour, and when the mung beans are steamed until they are soft and glutinous, they are then taken out and kneaded into mung bean puree.

Xu Rujin sprinkled some on the mung bean puree, and the snow-white white sugar that Lin Chuan had just bought yesterday mixed the sweetened mung bean puree with the noodles.

Ye Chengwei learned from Xu Rujin's example, and kneaded the tender soft noodles into various pattern shapes. They made three large cage drawers, about twenty catties of mung bean cake.

The fresh mung beans are mixed with a sweet fragrance, Xu Rujin took a piece and tasted it, the sweetness was fragrant and glutinous, and it was as delicious as she imagined.

"This mung bean cake is much easier to sit on than kidney bean cake. Ye Chengwei also took a piece to taste the taste, "The taste is no worse than kidney bean cake." ”

"Actually, things like mung bean cake, red bean cake, and sweet potato cake can all be done, and both methods are applicable. Xu Rujin put the rest of the mung bean cake in his mouth, "In fact, the method of cooking is the same, if you master one, the rest is not difficult, the difficult thing is the ingredients." ”

"Fortunately, now as long as you can fill your stomach, it's very good, and those who want to pay attention to taste are those who have some spare money at home. Xu Rujin packed the mung bean cake, because she was afraid that the rugged mountain road would damage these delicate high points, she also stuffed a handful of hay to prevent the earthquake.

Lin Chuan came to pick up the goods on time, he packed the duck goods and mung bean cakes, and asked, "Sister, how are your clothes doing?"

"It's all done, and now there is less work at home, and I can spare time to make clothes. Xu Rujin took a small cloth bag and handed it to Lin Chuan, "This is for my sister-in-law." ”

"Can you show me the clothes you made?" Lin Chuan scratched his head, "My mother and my sister can only sew and mend these simple jobs, and they are really not good at making clothes." ”

"Yes, Brother Lin, you wait for me. After speaking, Xu Rujin went back to the house to get his clothes.

She was holding the twins' clothes, exactly one for men and one for women. The two of them had just finished their clothes, and they hadn't had time to cut the thread, so the two children didn't take them after trying on them.

Lin Chuan looked at the two sets of clothes made by Xu Rujin, "Your craftsmanship is also too good, you can make clothes and sell them." ”

Xu Rujin smiled lightly: "I bought a sewing machine for this." ”

Hearing Xu Rujin say this, Lin Chuan's eyes lit up and asked, "Then will you make a wedding dress?"

Lin Chuan scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Your sister-in-law and I are about to get married, although I wear this from time to time, I still want to buy it for her, this is what I promised her when I was a child." ”

Hearing Lin Chuan ask himself, Xu Rujin guessed what he meant, "I can try, but I don't know what my sister-in-law likes, and I don't know if she will be satisfied." ”

Seeing Xu Rujin agree, Lin Chuan hurriedly said: "Your craftsmanship is so good, she will definitely like it." Then I'll buy a red cloth and give it to you today. ”

After saying that, Lin Chuan was about to leave, Xu Rujin stopped him and asked, "Brother Lin, how is the matter with the sewing machine I asked you to buy before?"

"I'm going to tell you about this!" Xu Rujin mentioned this, and Lin Chuan remembered, "Otherwise, my sewing machine will be sold to you at a low price, this thing is really useless in my house." ”

"At first, I thought about buying it and asking my mother and sister to sew and mend the joints first, and then slowly learn how to make clothes. He scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect that sewing clothes is easy, but making clothes is so difficult, this sewing machine has been bought for two or three years, and they haven't learned it." ”

Xu Rujin understands this, the car line is very easy to learn, but making clothes is about drawing and cutting, and the whole dress is almost broken.

"If you don't dislike it, I'll sell you this sewing machine for a hundred yuan. Lin Chuan stepped on the bicycle, "You think about it, don't rush to give me an answer." ”

Such a cheap thing, Xu Rujin doesn't need to think about it at all, "Don't think about it, I'll buy it, and I'll give you money when you come back after you sell something." ”

"That's okay, anyway, this guy my mother and my sister are also very careful with it, although it has been used for two or three years, but there are also eight or nine percent new. Lin Chuan turned his head and said, "Don't worry about money, just give it to me if you have enough money." ”

After saying that, Lin Chuan left.

Xu Rujin went to Ye Chengwei to borrow a pen and paper, and returned to the room to sit in front of the sewing machine.

Lin Chuan got married on October 1, and everyone in Tunzi would come to the wedding. If everyone sees the wedding dress she designed, someone will come to her to make clothes without her publicity, so she must treat it well.
