Otherworldly Chapter 43 Gossip Silver Pendant
Su Bai and the others returned to the busy work of the instrument workshop. Baishan is busy in the weaving workshop, and there are constantly new weavers, and the flower pullers are learning on the flower building machine.
Bai Shan also enjoys this job because Sun Xiuyun can often be seen. Although Miss Sun didn't talk much to him, she did give him a lot of smiles when they met. With a loom with better performance, her idea is to train enough weavers, build a number of flower building machines, and then weave a large number of exquisite decorative fabrics, quickly conquer the market, and Wanjian Merchant Building can take a share of the cloth industry. No longer only dealing in highly competitive appliances, but also beginning to develop across industries. This kind of commodity that can enter strongly and open up the situation is naturally the faster it comes out, the better.
Of course, since Su You led the artifact workshop, Wanjian Appliances has made great strides away from its opponents, and the fierce competition is only suitable for other equipment merchants other than Wanjian Tools. As soon as Su You passed some new designs from his subordinates, he approved the arrangement for mass production. Director Su's efficient action made the craftsmen happy, and the products designed were approved for production, but they could get a large reward, and the people in the workshop were popular for a while.
Su You specially chatted with Zuo Rongsheng, who discovered the anti-rust paint, and asked him to conduct in-depth research in this area, reminding him that in addition to the natural iron red, there are other materials that also have the same anti-rust effect. Su You guided him to try to add materials such as zinc powder, aluminum powder, graphite, etc., and if he found these minerals, he would transfer them into the paint to experiment, try them on some outdoor iron materials, and regularly check the anti-rust effect. Help him broaden his thinking in this area, and it is up to him how much he will achieve in the future.
As the head of the R&D department, Su You feels that his responsibility is to discover and help talented people, and then pay attention to and cultivate them regularly, and give them the right guidance to grow quickly. The more talents that the commercial building has in reserve, the greater its sustainable competitiveness.
Sun Chongyuan saw that Su You had this kind of leadership and appreciated his character, so he put him in the position of the head of the instrument manufacturing and reused it. After a period of contact, Sun Tianze also recognized Su You's talent, and Sun Xiuyun's trust in Su You was even higher than that of his father and brother. Valued by the three of them, Su You and Bai Shan are now in the Golden Branch, and everyone respects them. Ji Zhaorong, who thinks he is the spokesperson of Miss and has the position of supervising the workshop, also began to change his position and changed his attitude towards the two of them.
...............
Inside the instrument room. Su You, Bai Shan, Chang Xiangyang and Qian Cheng kept taking turns hammering a straight and slender sword blank, and when they were tired, they were replaced. Su You enlarged the wolf-shaped small white blade he had created and designed a spear-shaped long sword. The sword is less than three feet long, the tip of the blade is in the form of a spear tip, which is triangular and flat, and the sword body is straight and has no arc, so such a sword spear is more suitable for straight stabs. What's even more amazing is that Su You made a change in the design of the end of the hilt, removing the exquisite wolf head, which is a simple cylindrical hilt, but delineating the screw pattern circle at the end of the handle, and creating a long stick with a length of four feet, the end of the stick is hollow, and the hilt of the sword is inserted into the hollow stick head, which is tightly twisted and assembled with threads, and immediately becomes a seven-foot spear, but it is more slender and dexterous than the big stupid spear. When put away, the spear can be inserted into the hollow long stick, which becomes a scabbard, and the spear becomes a stick more than four feet long. This portable design, which can be long or short, can also be stored, immediately makes several people's eyes widen.
When Su You designed this spliced sword spear, he connected the hilt and the body of the stick in a threaded way, and it was extremely difficult to outline the screws inside the stick, which consumed a lot of his divine sense and took a lot of time. Fortunately, it is only a piece of refining, if it is mass-produced, it is impossible to carve the thread by hand, so the effect is too low, and it is necessary to make a turning tool and operate it on the lathe.
The eyes of the three of Baishan were dull, it was actually a magical weapon that could be assembled and disassembled, and when it was disassembled, it was a single long sword, which turned into a spear after being combined, which could be long or short. Su You sewed a leather pouch with roe deer cowhide, leaving two sac openings, which were inserted into the sword and the scabbard respectively, and the sword could be inserted into the stick scabbard or inserted separately in the two sacs, which was equivalent to two weapons, one offensive and one defensive. The leather bag can be tied to the back, and when riding, it is tied to the saddle for easy access. After the construction was completed, Su You quickly combined it and disassembled it several times, feeling very smooth.
The two are combined into a delicate and slender sword spear, from the blade to the shaft of the spear is covered with wolf figures, and the wolf head is designed at the end of the shaft. So at first glance, it looks like a complete spear, and it is completely impossible to see that it is made of joints. The whole body is made of chrome alloy material, which will never break, and the chrome metal is all used up this time.
If it weren't for the fact that Su You's status had been greatly improved recently, and the chrome metal was discovered by Su You, the commercial building would not necessarily agree to let him use the only remaining chrome material.
When combined, the spear weighed fifty-eight pounds. Wield, it is full of power, because it is a weapon held with both hands, it can also be easily controlled. The shaft of the spear was covered with wolf hair, and it was extremely comfortable to hold with both hands. The four of them have praise, and they have a long weapon. Chang Xiangyang and Qian Cheng looked at Su You, their eyes were full of respect. People with strength will naturally gain respect.
Su You saw the stars in the eyes of the white mountain, and joked with a smile, "You have the sword given by Young Master Sun, and you still covet me, do you want to exchange your sword for it?" As soon as the words fell, Bai Shan had already untied the long sword from his waist and handed it to Su You, moving quickly, for fear that Su You's appearance of regret would make people laugh.
Su You originally had the idea of building it for Bai Shan, so he snatched the spear and sword, and Chang Qian and the others looked envious. Bai Shan was curious about Su You's little white blade that could be hidden in leather boots, and wanted to try to make one himself, so Su You threw the little white blade to him as a model.
After Ji Zhaorong saw Bai Shan's performance at the banquet, he was even more impressed with him, and admired the design of his flower building machine, so he took some flower books designed by her and asked Bai Shan for advice. Bai Shan hid and went to refine the little white blade, and she couldn't find Bai Shan twice when she came.
Su You saw that Ji Zhaorong had a persistent pursuit of weaving, and he appreciated it very much. found a reason to contact her work, and it was seen that she had put a lot of thought and effort into the flower book. He thought about how to tell her some ideas for ready-to-wear clothes without hesitation. Of course, he still had to push Bai Shan, and said: "Bai Shan told me that the costumes and fabrics are very particular, and if it is a dress worn on a formal occasion, it should be made of bright silk brocade material to highlight the nobility and magnificence of the dress; If it is a samurai suit, it needs to be loose and comfortable and can be stretched freely, so use micro-elastic cotton fabrics; Daily home clothing is comfortable, and it is better to use pure cotton material. The pattern of clothes is different according to personal preferences and suitable occasions, so the styles and patterns should be rich and diverse to give people more choices. ”
Ji Zhaorong's eyes lit up, whether he knew whether he knew how to do it or not, he would know it as soon as he heard it. Su You's words summarized the characteristics of clothing fabrics, and explained it in one sentence. After that, Su You began to talk about some details: how to match personal temperament with clothes, tall, short, fat and thin, what colors will look better when wearing different skin tones, and how to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses through clothing....... Ji Zhaorong was fascinated by what he heard, and he felt that a door to clothing design had opened in front of him, clothing could enhance people's temperament, charm, and taste ......, and after Su You repeatedly reminded him that this was taught to him by Bai Shan, Bai Shan became even taller in Ji Zhaorong's eyes.
....................
The loom gradually goes up to the track. Fabrics and costumes are not separated, Su You felt the need to add fuel to the fire, he gave full play to his sketching expertise, and spent a few days painting four pictures of human clothing, one for men and three for women. The first is a front and back picture of two men's clothes, the front is a moon-white robe with the placket folded to the sides, and only one button is tied on the chest and abdomen, and the shirt is worn in a Tang costume with a row of buttons. I originally wanted to design a bow to tie around the neck, but I thought it was a pure Western style, so forget it. On the back, the back of the robe is depicted, and the robe is slender and covers the hips. The leg and the middle slit of the hem are dovetail and fall to the crook of the knee. Wearing straight black trousers, the waist is narrow, highlighting the straight and tough man's waist and back line, giving people an elegant and upright luxurious temperament.
The lady painted three different styles of clothes. One is a one-piece narrow waist, the upper body is wrapped solidly, the chest and abdomen are decorated with flowers, the long skirt hangs down to the ground, and the style is conservative. The second is a suspender wrinkled folded skirt, wide shoulder straps, and a V-shaped chest, with a simple and generous style, highlighting the beautiful figure of women, which is too avant-garde and bold for this world, Su You smiled evilly. The third is a single-strap folded skirt, embellished with a thin ribbon attached to the wide shoulder strap, revealing one shoulder, and of course a smock can be draped over the bare shoulder. The bandeau is tightly tied down to create a slender waist, and the spiral skirt is presented under the waist to the ground, which is elegant and elegant, perfectly revealing the femininity and body curve.
This kind of ceremonial dress, of course, cannot copy the modern style completely, combined with the style and cultural heritage of the people of this world, Su You is still very satisfied. After admiring the four pictures, he thought that wearing this kind of dress would only show off his figure by wearing high heels, and he couldn't design suitable high heels for a while, so he threw them aside for the time being, and when Bai Shan came back, he would throw this task to him.
Sure enough, as soon as Baishan arrived, Su You grabbed him and told him about Ji Zhaorong coming to him twice. He said that he was now famous in the weaving workshop, and that people would often come to him for weaving designs in the future.
Seeing Bai Shan's sad face, Su You stretched him for a while, and then said that he had communicated with Ji Zhaorong twice on topics such as fabrics and clothing, which was considered to have helped him twice. smiled: "Anyway, I just said that the things that weave this piece are all what you Baishan usually instructs me." Miss Ji and Miss Sun are like sisters, and they will often praise you in front of Miss Sun, both of them are building momentum for you. Do you think Miss Sun will also ask you for advice on fashion design? What a rare opportunity! ”
Bai Shan had a bitter face, "Brother Su, I have been learning the loom very hard, and now I have to learn clothing, it's too embarrassing." This is not something that can be learned immediately if you want to learn, those embroiderers, weavers, how many years of experience do you need to produce an excellent weaver, how long do I have to learn? ”
"You don't need to embroider for Miss Sun, you are a designer. All you have to do is show her a good idea that will blow her away. Su You held back a smile and threw the four costume drawings to him, "This is the design work that I have spent many days thinking of for you, for your reference, you can add your own ideas, and when you study it thoroughly, you will discuss it with Miss Sun and Miss Ji." ”
Bai Shan was immediately attracted by the costume on the picture. He saw that the women in these dresses were so beautiful and noble, and the figures and shapes were so elegant and charming. fantasized about what Sun Xiuyun looked like after wearing it, and was fascinated for a while. Su You was silent, he solved the problem of flower programming that troubled him from Bai Shan, and found Bai Shan's talent in clothing and fabrics, and deliberately guided him to develop in this area.
Su You glanced at the fire jade tied around Bai Shan's neck, and thought of making a lanyard for his own stone as well, so that if he hung it around his neck, he didn't have to worry about accidentally falling off. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was necessary, and of course I couldn't drill a hole in the stone to thread the rope. He ran to the raw material room to find the right material, and there was no soft metal suitable for inlaying stones, should he use gold to inlay like jade? I don't have any gold, and I only earn a few dozen taels of silver a month. Oh, silver! and set it with silver. He took out a few ingots of silver that he had just received, exactly ten taels and one ingots.
Back to the Instrument Workshop. What kind of look is good? He recalled the familiar Buddha statues such as the dragon and phoenix, Pixiu, the zodiac, Ruyi, and Guanyin. If the stone is to be inlay, it has to be in the middle, and those images are not easy to carve. Hey! Just carve a Tai Chi Bagua diagram, and the stone in the middle represents the yin and yang fish.
It is too easy to melt silver, and snowflake silver is of very high purity with almost no impurities. With the divine sense, Su You immediately became an engraver. It didn't take long for a piece of melted ten taels of silver to become a palm-sized gossip map, with a milky white stone protruding in the middle, and the entire gossip pendant appeared three-dimensional.
Su You picked up the delicate gossip silver carving and watched, and the gossip lines on it were incomparably clear, like a living gossip map. Su You suddenly had a strange feeling, why did he think of the gossip map? Bagua has a way to deduce the change of direction, while the stone has space inside, is it an unintentional coincidence or a hint in the dark?
He hung the silver pendant of the Bagua Stone on his chest, as if he felt that the stone was transmitting smoke to him at all times, and this feeling was wonderful. Of course, compared to the fire jade of Baishan, Su You didn't think that the smoke was inexhaustible, so he still had to save some of it.
He wanted to find out what the smoke was. It's been a while in this world, and he hasn't seen any information about this magical smoke, the smoke is outside the Five Elements Wind and Thunder, if he has to guess, it can only be related to space.
