Chapter 372: Master of Folk Art (Subscription Requested)
Wait a minute.
Su Lin also has a problem, that is, he has to finalize whether the other party is really the Master Hu he is looking for.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to work for a long time, and finally find out that this Master Hu is not the Master Hu you are looking for.
However, from what Master Zhao said, he is also a bit like a master, and at the other party's age, money and nothing are attractive to him. It is impossible to use money to ask the other party to make a cheongsam.
After thinking for a while, Su Lin continued to ask, "I don't know Master Zhao, how many tailor shops are there in this ancient street?" Or there are a few shops that make cheongsam. ”
"We are the only tailor shop in the entire ancient street that makes cheongsam." Zhao Manjiang shook his head and said, "We have been here for more than ninety years. ”
Hearing him say this, Su Lin was now 99% sure that this Master Zhao's master, Master Hu, was the Master Hu he was looking for.
The goal can basically be determined, and the next question is how to overcome it, how to get a 'retired' master to help him make a cheongsam?
With money, this is definitely not good, and the most taboo thing in front of such a master is to use money to hire the other party to make cheongsam.
Instead of getting people in, this will be counterproductive.
This mission is really not simple at all, and there are pitfalls everywhere.
At that time, why did I think about it carefully? Ay...... But even if I thought it through at the time, it didn't seem to be of much use. You know the system has dug a hole in front of you, but you still have to jump in.
If it's not a reliable system, it's not reliable anyway.
"Little brother, if you want to customize the cheongsam, I can introduce you to a few novel styles, which should be very suitable for your girlfriend." Zhao Manjiang probably guessed Su Lin's intention, so he casually said a polite word.
Of course...... There is also a subconscious sentence in the back, that is, if you don't customize the cheongsam, then you won't be accompanied, and as the only master in the store who makes cheongsam, he doesn't have so much free time to chat with each other. Although the words were just not spoken, everyone understood.
"Customized, of course." Su Lin had a smile on his face, "The age is about twenty-four or five years old, the height is one meter six five, and the weight is ......."
Su Lin was thinking about Chen Xiao's figure at this time, and unconsciously reported the other party's figure proportion. As for whether it is accurate, he doesn't know, and he hasn't measured it, so he can only say a rough idea.
It seems that Chen Xiao's birthday is more than a month away, and he can just give this dress to the other party as a birthday gift.
And...... He has his own plans.
Customize a set of clothes here, and the other party should also give yourself some face, such as promising to the other party where Master Hu lives, this Master Zhao should be able to say it.
"According to your description, I can imagine that your girlfriend must be a very beautiful girl." Zhao Manjiang smiled, "In this way, I recommend this cheongsam to you, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Manjiang took Su Lin to a model style, and the cheongsam here looked very novel.
"According to your description, your girlfriend shouldn't like that kind of fancy and pompous style, then I recommend this one. The snow-white cheongsam style looks like a little woman's romance, and the shoulder position is transformed with this lace, rather than simple silk, this combination of modernity and tradition, I think it is more suitable for your girlfriend. The leader doesn't have to be too high, it's almost fine. This kind of long cheongsam is a bit conservative and a little small. Pure white can make her look younger and full of elegant temperament. ”
"Match a little red from the whole, so that it will not look monotonous, and it can have a more celebrity temperament."
"So...... I think this type of style will be more suitable. ”
"But the price of this one will be relatively higher, 12,000 for a set."
According to Su Lin's description, Zhao Manjiang introduced him to a good cheongsam.
And Surin also thinks that these styles of models are indeed very good.
"Okay, I'll customize this one." Su Lin decided to come down, and this customized cheongsam would be given to Chen Xiao as a birthday gift when the time came.
As for...... His own task, Su Lin will find a chance to ask later.
The more times like these, the more you can't be in a hurry.
"Okay, Xiaolin, you take this gentleman to pay the deposit."
This is the rule of their shop, before customizing a cheongsam, you must pay a deposit of 5,000 yuan. This is for fear that some people will suddenly say not after making cheongsam.
A young apprentice walked over and took Su Lin to pay the deposit, while the middle-aged man Zhao Manjiang was taking notes.
After paying the deposit, Su Lin walked to Zhao Manjiang's side again.
He had just customized a cheongsam, even if he had something to ask the other party now, he would not refuse to come to this Master Zhao. And Su Lin's requirements are not very high, he just wants to inquire about Master Hu's residence and ...... The temperament of the other party.
"Master Zhao."
"Little brother." After all, the other party customized a set of cheongsam here, and Zhao Manjiang's attitude towards him was more enthusiastic than before.
The mouth of the cannibal is short, and the hand of the taker is short.
"Master Zhao, I want to ask a question, I don't know Master Hu...... Where is his home? Su Lin got straight to the point and asked directly.
"This ......" Zhao Manjiang hesitated, his master had told him that he didn't like to be disturbed, so he didn't want to tell others where he lived, usually nothing serious, his master didn't want him to bother, he just wanted to be clean alone. If he told Su Lin now, when his master asked about it, he would not be able to kill him.
"Is Master Zhao in trouble?" Su Lin frowned slightly, looking at it like this, it seemed that things were a little difficult, and they were not as smooth as he imagined.
"Honestly...... My master and his old man don't like people to disturb him, and after he retires, he is like trying to be pure. Zhao Manjiang shook his head and said, "Even if it's me, I don't usually have any major events, so I can't go to see him." ”
"......, this Master Hu's temper is inevitably too weird."
If you don't want outsiders to disturb you, you can't even go to your own apprentices?
It seems that the difficulty of this task needs to be increased by one point.
As he learned more about the task, Surin felt that it was getting more and more difficult.
"Master Zhao, to tell you the truth, I actually asked a friend of mine, who is a reporter for a TV station, and she wants to do a program about folk art. With the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, more and more folk arts have disappeared in the long river of history, and my friend also saw this problem, so he wanted to make such a program to leave something for these folk skills that are about to disappear, so that more people can understand him. ”
"Master Zhao, I guess Master Hu must have dedicated his whole life to making cheongsam, which is also a rare treasure in our China."
"I think Master Hu must also want to leave something for future generations."
Surin can only talk nonsense.
Hearing Su Lin's words, Zhao Manjiang was shocked.
Yes, the reason why Master chose to live quietly alone after retirement is because ...... He also loved the cheongsam he had dedicated his whole life.
Master used to tell him that he was just a tailor and that he didn't understand before...... But at this time...... At this point, I understand a little.
