Sure enough, the vast majority of people were screened out in this first round of assessment.

Most of these people who were screened out were called by their families to try their luck because they took a fancy to the monthly money of five taels of silver per month.

If they can be selected, it is naturally the best, and even if they can't be selected, they will not suffer.

In this first round, more than half of the people were directly screened.

Those who were screened out were disappointed.

When they left, they all looked at the people who were left behind with envy.

And those who passed the first round of assessment are not all at ease.

What the Bai family needs is really capable talents, they naturally can't be successfully selected so easily, and they also need the next round of assessment, and the next round of assessment will definitely be more difficult than this time.

So the people who stayed behind were all ready for the next game.

Just when they were nervous, everyone was regrouped again.

Then enter the venue in groups in order.

After the first batch of people entered, they saw that the original open space was actually full of neat tables and chairs, and in addition to some needlework baskets, there were some pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the table.

Their expressions now are the same as those of Mu Niangzi before, and they are very surprised.

Meng Lianyi glanced at the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to give them a brief introduction to the rules.

When the housekeeper's introduction ended, these embroidery girls also looked different.

Some are eager to try, others are nervous.

After everyone settled down, Meng Lianyi spoke:

"Since you are here to participate in the selection today, you must also often deal with needlework, but you also know that the clothes in my shop are not the same as the clothes in ordinary ready-to-wear shops, in addition to requiring quality and craftsmanship, you also need to be innovative."

As soon as Meng Lianyi finished speaking, the embroidery girls below also nodded in agreement.

After all, the previous winter clothes opened everyone's eyes, and the outstanding design and superb craftsmanship made the people present admire it at a glance.

So for Meng Lianyi's request at this time, there was not much surprise.

Seeing this, Meng Lianyi smiled with satisfaction and continued: "I just tested everyone's basic skills, since you can pass the assessment and enter this field, there is no doubt that your basic skills will definitely be able to pass." And what we want to assess this time is everyone's creative ability. ”

After Meng Lianyi finished speaking, the people below all chattered.

"Creativity, what is this?"

"Isn't that the regulation of clothes just that, how can we innovate?"

"Yes, I've been making clothes for half my life, and I've never heard of so many ways to make clothes."

Meng Lianyi didn't pay attention to everyone's discussions, and began to ask the question with a smile: "Everyone, now it's spring, waiting for the weather to be hotter and it's time to go out, although the previous dresses have their own beauty, but if you go out to go out, it is very inconvenient, today I ask you to design a set of clothes suitable for spring outing in an hour, the requirement is to be both generous and decent, and to be convenient to travel, and to lose the sense of beauty, you will try it." ”

Meng Lianyi went straight to the point and said the request.

The embroidery girls below were shocked when they heard Meng Lianyi's series of requests, and they raised their eyes and took the test.

It is easy to say that it is not only generous and decent, but also convenient to travel, and it must be good-looking, but it is very difficult to really make it.

Nowadays, most women's dresses are wide-sleeved and long-sleeved, and only women from ordinary families wear some short clothes.

But nowadays, the dresses they want to design are naturally impossible to sell to farmers in the countryside, so it is difficult to be simple and elegant at the same time.

For a moment, everyone on the field was distressed.

There is only one hour, and the time of an hour to design a set of dresses is very tense, so although these embroidery girls are very entangled in their hearts, they dare not delay time.

I immediately thought about it in my head and began to write.

In the gap where everyone began to design, Bai Wanning quietly walked up to Meng Lianyi and asked in a whisper, "Ripples, how many of these people do you think can stay?" ”

Meng Lianyi chuckled: "It's good that I just looked at a few talents. ”

As he spoke, he looked at a little girl sitting in the front row.

Bai Wanning followed Meng Lianyi's gaze and saw a plain round-faced woman sitting on the far right of the first row holding a pen and drawing on paper seriously.

She held the pen in the wrong way, and it was a little rusty, as if she hadn't been exposed to these things before.

But what was drawn on the paper made Bai Wanning's eyes light up.

I saw that although the woman's brushstrokes were rusty, she still succeeded in drawing a very unique style of clothes, different from ordinary wide-sleeved long skirts, the clothes she designed were atmospheric and not cumbersome pipa sleeves, and the skirt was slightly shorter than ordinary skirts, but it was equipped with a gauze overcoat on the outside, and the hem of the hood was a butterfly pattern of different shapes.

"Yes, it's an innovative one." Bai Wanning nodded with satisfaction.

Although it is not as brilliant as Meng Lianyi's design, it can be regarded as aura.

Meng Lianyi also nodded with satisfaction: "It's a good seedling, you can focus on cultivating it." ”

After the two of them looked at it, they continued to walk down, and after looking around, Bai Wanning frowned from time to time, and occasionally had some surprises.

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and all the embroidery girls left the assessment site under the guidance of the housekeeper after handing in their works.

After everyone left, Bai Wanning couldn't help but start looking at it.

This look made him discover a few good talents.

"Ripples, come and see, this dress is a little interesting." Meng Lianyi walked over and looked at it, nodding in agreement.

"Yes, it's good to have such results now after only one hour has been given to them, and if there is more time, the finished product will definitely be a little more beautiful."

Because of the short time, even if they racked their brains to design one by one, the final product was a little rough, but it can be seen that there are a few talented people among them.

Meng Lianyi and Bai Wanning made a choice together before starting the selection of the next group, there were five groups in total, and by the time they were all over, it was almost dark.

In the end, after discussing with Bai Wanning, he chose to stay 36 people, among these 36 people, there are 24 embroidery girls in this county, and the remaining 12 people are embroidery girls from several counties next door who came to participate in the assessment.

After the names of the people were recorded, the butler was asked to go out and announce the list.

In the outer courtyard of Zhuangzi, more than 200 women gathered in groups of three or five and waited anxiously, each of them with nervousness and uneasiness on their faces.
