Chapter 1162 Not a good deal
“Okay, I’ll accept this gift!” Chi Xueli smiled contentedly: “Thank you, elbow. The older you get, the smarter you become.”
“Actually, There are also gifts." Zhou Zhi dragged a box in from outside and opened it. There were many scarves and silk scarves inside.
The ethnic minority style things are colorful and gorgeous, and the patterns are not found in the mainland. They are novel and beautiful.
Mom took the things and piled them on the table, letting everyone pick what they like.
Just when I was picking up a piece of silk, I found it was very big: "What's going on? How come there is such a big silk scarf..."
Zhou Zhi quickly took it over: "This is not a silk scarf, but a silk scarf." It's silk fabric, used to make clothes."
"Really?" Guan Ma came over and took a look: "Hey. Xiuqin, we can’t stand this kind of material. It would look good if it was made into a dress by Qiqi Xueli and others.”
“What kind of material is this?” 》Chi Xueli, the producer, had never seen such fabric before, and the exotic Persian patterns on it made her feel novel.
“This is silk, a specialty of Northern Xinjiang, high-end Adelais silk.” Zhou Zhi said: “Recall the pictures you have seen that reflect the customs of ethnic minorities in Northern Xinjiang, and the clothing of the women in them. Do you think of it now?”
"Wow!" Chi Xueli knows the goods: "I thought the clothes of the ethnic minorities in northern Xinjiang were all printed and dyed, but I didn't expect them to be woven!"
"Now they are also opening silk factories and introducing machinery. Make it." Zhou Zhi said, "But. This batch is purely handmade. I found it in the Gongmei Hall of Urumqi Shopping Mall. I bought them all because they looked good. They were originally used by people to attract foreign trade customers.”
“Also. Is there any more?" Tang Qi also got excited: "I can make this thing. The ethnic minority costumes are pretty good. Will they look good as performance costumes? "
"To be honest, this really tests the designer's skills." Chi Xueli was also thinking about this question: "It's too gorgeous. The pattern is also too complicated and easily distracts the audience on the stage. "Yes, it can only be made by splicing or choosing fabrics of the same color." Zhou Zhi said: "It can actually be used to embroider the sides of the cheongsam. to improve the body shape.”
"Eh?" Mom and Guan Ma looked at each other. These two have entered middle age, and their body management is not as strict as Chi Xueli and Tang Qi's. Now they have a tendency to gain weight.
Clothes like cheongsam are already a bit harsh on their figures, but after giving Zhou Zhi such a reminder, I found that cheongsam can really be made like this.
Theoretically, human vision will first focus on the large area, which means it will first focus on the large plain area in the center. The patterns on the edges can not only make the cheongsam more beautiful, but also can secretly poke the ground. Conceal body imperfections.
It is equivalent to shading the side of the nose and brightening the bridge of the nose in makeup, which can make the bridge of the nose appear thinner and straighter.
Although the theory makes sense, it is not easy to implement. Fortunately, Zhou Zhi knows Master Yang, so everyone made an appointment to visit Master Yang’s workshop in the afternoon.
"Why don't you choose the fabric first? It doesn't have to be a dress. Tang Qi and Xue Li can also choose some fabrics to make regular clothes."
"I'll choose this white and brownish gold one." Tang Qi and Xue Li Qi has already thought about it: "This is a dress with a big swing, it is quite luxurious."
The dress of the host is still a little different from that of the singer. A dress with a big swing will cause conflicts between the host and the host. The distance between them is too far, so we generally don’t make that style: “I There is just one sapphire blue dress missing. How about I choose this one with one shoulder strap?
“I don’t have to.” Jiang Shuyi usually wears quite plain clothes, but she can't accept the exotic and fancy rainbow-like silk fabrics now: "And silk clothes are very difficult for us students to maintain."
"Then choose a set of cheongsam materials for your mother and we will make it together." My mother made arrangements directly: "Your mother was a famous beauty in our county back then. I remember that she used to like red."
Zhou Zhi found it funny. At that time, the colors across the country were basically black, white, gray, blue, and red. Did young girls have other choices at that time?
Under Jiang Shuyi's pleading look, Zhou Zhi interjected: "It's a bit exaggerated to make a red cheongsam and wear it in daily life. Let's make a butterfly shirt."
As he spoke, he chose another piece of white and gray fabric: "This should be good for making a long skirt with metal buckle decoration."
Jiang Shuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently to Zhou Zhi. nod.
"Tingting is very simple. She doesn't choose the color or the style of clothes. She looks good in anything she wears." Even though her grandmother is old, she can't help but express her opinion: "This colorful material can be used to make a sleeveless collared shirt." It looks good. Shu Yi should use this one. It is made of moon white and azure, and can be worn by young ladies who study. The best temperament."
"Wow, grandma knows this very well." Chi Xueli praised: "I should have included this material in the previous interview! It’s amazing! I was still weaving linen by myself back then!” My mother was very proud of my grandmother.
"That's no comparison. How can you compare with other people's craftsmanship?" Grandma caressed the fabric twice and said, "Let's eat first. My dear grandson must be hungry, right?"
"Still Grandma understands me." Zhou Zhi joked: "But there is no need to take care of my face and change the word greedy to the word hungry."
"Ouch, this seems like it's not over yet. I've even forgotten about the meal." Guan Ma smiled and said, "Let's have dinner! Your mother knows that you are a naughty person, so she specially brought you black-bone chicken with small feet from Jiachuan!" < br>
Today’s meal is obviously Guan Ma’s cooking. The main dish is black-bone chicken soup, as well as Sichuan sweet potato noodles and pea tips cooked in chicken soup.
In addition, there are cured pork legs and sausages made by Yang, his sister-in-law and his mother, and Guan’s mother’s best eel and braised green bamboo shoots. A hot stir-fry is a chicken offal stir-fried with celery, pickled cabbage, two vegetarian dishes, and two cold dishes. This is enough to prepare a table.
In fact, everyone has a bit too much alcohol during this Chinese New Year, so let’s just take it as casually as we want today.
Little Lei Ge pulled out two bottles of Yilite: "It's funny to say that Elbow can make friends on the plane. He is a salesman from a winery in northern Xinjiang. We sent him to the hotel, and he sent him He gave us a box of this special song as a gift in return.”
Everyone here is an expert, either from a sugar and wine company or someone who has been hosting or being hosted for a long time. All the wine glasses on the table were filled with wine. The aroma of the wine was not strong enough during the dinner, which meant that the wine could only be considered average.
Guan Ma took a sip: "The wine tastes quite pure, natural and mellow, and the aftertaste is sweet, at least it is much better than Lu wine."
"Where can I find Lu wine? , they are all blended with Sichuan wine." Guan Dabin said with a smile, "Manzhou. Wineries in several counties are sending base wine there. "
"Working as a OEM for others to develop brands." Dad shook his head: "This is actually not the case. A good deal.”
