Chapter 63 Intangible Cultural Heritage Technology, Unparalleled Craftsmanship
This sewing shop is also interesting, and it even uses "100 years" as the name of the store.
The shop is still open next to the department store.
I don't know if it's a real hundred years or a fake one hundred years.
At the front desk of the sewing shop, a workbench was made, as well as a row of people wearing a few fashionable women's clothes.
There is an old man and a young man in the store, one is the boss and the other is the buddy.
In addition to this, there is a young woman wearing a red cheongsam.
The young woman permed her curly hair, applied foundation, and put on lipstick, and at first glance she was dressed in a rather fashionable outfit.
Jiang Ning also noticed that she was wearing a pair of lambskin heels on her feet.
The shoes, which look custom-made by hand, are estimated to cost about a hundred.
The young woman exuded the air of a rich man from her hair to her toes, and now her beautiful face was full of anger.
"I spent 500 yuan on this fabric, bought it from Sioux City, natural silk silk fabric, and embroidery patterns, the whole country is just such a piece, it is unique! Let you make a cheongsam, it took a month not to say, and now it's still like this?! I see that your shop, don't open it! ”
While angry, she pulled the cheongsam she was wearing.
Jiang Ning just glanced at it.
I saw the problem at once.
The bust of the cheongsam was made smaller, and the chest was pressed.
The waistline is bigger, and it looks loose.
The most important thing about cheongsam is to tailor it and fit the curves of the body perfectly.
In this way, it will best show the coquettish style of a woman.
And this cheongsam is a proper failure.
The owner and the guy in the tailor shop immediately nodded and apologized.
"Miss Gu, I'm sorry! It's because we didn't do a good job, don't be angry first. This cheongsam is going to be modified several times, and our master's craftsmanship must be fine. It would be nice to adjust the details a little more, and we'll change it right now-"
"Who are you fooling?! When I was in Shanghai, I made cheongsam so many times, which time did I make such a mistake? It's simply that your master's craftsmanship is not good! That's it, what kind of century-old tailor shop is it called? I think this signboard can be smashed! ”
Jiang Ning heard this.
It can be regarded as hearing the identity of a young woman.
It turned out to be a rich lady from Shanghai, no wonder she likes cheongsam, and she is also wealthy.
The young women were furious and threatened to smash the store.
Now, things are really getting bigger.
The boss and the guy begged for mercy again and again.
"Miss Gu, you extinguish the fire. Be...... It's because our master didn't do a good job, we will redo it for you and don't charge you money. ”
"Hehe, is Miss Ben a person who cares about money? Didn't you hear me clearly? There is only one piece of silk cloth in the whole country, and you can't lose it even if you have money! ”
Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, there were a lot of onlookers around.
It was at this time.
Jiang Ning stood out of the crowd and walked into the tailor's shop.
She said to the tense crowd.
"I also know some tailors, why don't you let me try? You can change it now. ”
As soon as this statement came out.
The young woman, the owner of the tailor's shop, turned their heads in unison.
The moment their eyes fell on Jiang Ning, a look of astonishment flashed in their eyes.
A young man, with a childish aura all over his body, and a large rough basket on his back, dared to say such a thing.
"Just you......?"
The shopkeeper spoke up first, and his expression was obviously disdainful of Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning did not flinch at all, but continued to face everyone's questioning eyes.
"This cheongsam, as far as the craftsmanship of this master is concerned, must have been ruined. Now that it's ruined, why not let me try. I am confident in my craft, believing that I can come back to life and not spoil such a good silk fabric. ”
When Jiang Ning spoke, his delicate and fair face exuded an incomparable light.
Especially her eyes, confident and determined.
After all, she once spent three full years learning the craft of intangible cultural heritage from a master who made cheongsam.
It's also time for people to see what she's capable of.
The shopkeeper still wouldn't agree.
He has the consideration of a businessman, if Jiang Ning can't save this cheongsam, and he can't change the status quo, they will lose both of them;
If Jiang Ning saved this cheongsam, then the craftsmanship of the master of their tailor shop was not good, and the reputation of the store was completely ruined.
It's a loss inside and out, and it's wrong to do anything.
Why would he bother.
But.
The young woman who had been frowning and looking at Jiang Ning was shocked by the calm confidence exuded from Jiang Ning's eyes.
Even if she is now from Jiang Ning, she can't see that she has any skills in her body at all.
But she couldn't help but be attracted to Jiang Ning and wanted to believe what she said.
"I'll give you this chance."
The young woman nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ning's eyes were bright and his smile was bright, "Miss Gu, I will definitely not let you down." ”
"Gu Qingwan, my name."
Gu Qingwan reported her name as directly and neatly as when she was angry.
Then she walked to the dressing room of the sewing shop and changed into the red cheongsam on her body.
During the time when Gu Qingwan was changing clothes.
The first thing Jiang Ning did was to wash his hands.
When touching silk fabrics, keep your hands clean, and carefully check the palms for any barbs or things that can scratch the silk.
If you accidentally snagged the wire, it was really a waste of good things.
And then.
Jiang Ning borrowed scissors, soft rulers, tweezers, needlework from the owner of the tailor shop...... and a series of gadgets.
With Gu Qingwan's words.
The owner of the tailor shop didn't dare not agree, and all of them were prepared for Jiang Ning.
When Jiang Ning got the cheongsam, she measured Gu Qingwan's size with a soft ruler, recorded it carefully, and immediately started to do it.
Unwrap the edging strip, adjust the position of the waistline, and cut the excess fabric......
A series of actions.
Jiang Ning's work was smooth without a pause.
It's as if she's calculated countless times in her mind, and it's so smooth and natural when she does it.
During this period.
The flow of people outside the store, the sound of talking in the store, could not affect Jiangning.
She was completely immersed in her own world, and her eyes were only bright red and satin fabrics, and the needle and thread in her hands.
Strands of black hair fell from the side of her cheeks, revealing a bright and gentle face.
Gu Qingwan, who is also a woman, looked at this scene and was fiercely attracted by Jiang Ning.
After a while.
Preliminary tailoring adjustments are completed.
Jiang Ning picked up the thin sewing needle, put on a red embroidery thread, and held the needle and thread with his thin white fingers, gently passing through the fabric......
Drop the needle, pull the thread, and drop the needle again.
Jiang Ning's movements were fast, but the stitches of the falling needles were neat and delicate.
When the red thread is tightened, there is almost no trace of sewing.
Delicate to seamless.
It's an unbeatable craft.
Drop the last stitch to finish.
Jiang Ning bit off the thread with his teeth, a delicate and bright smile appeared on his face, and said softly, "Okay." ”
