Chapter 229 Embroidery Competition
"Mom, I, I was too impulsive just now, don't be angry." Zhao Lan raised her eyelids and glanced at Feng Zhuanxia, murmuring.
Feng Zhuanxia waved her hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, alas, your heart is not warm, and mom understands it, but how can you take it out on those chicks? In the past few years, The harvest is not good, do you know how expensive the chicken is?”
“Chicken? What’s wrong with the chicken?”
“It’s all your fault.”
"Me? I didn't do anything." Zhao Lan looked confused.
Feng Zhuanxia looked at her and shook her head, looking very disappointed.
Guan Lei was afraid that if they kept talking about this, it would be detrimental to her later, she quickly said: "Mom, let the past go by, don't think about it anymore, people's hearts are separated from each other, and in the village There are a lot of people who are jealous of us. Maybe it was done by others. "
Guan Lei is right. Indeed, because Zhao Yang has a good reputation and wants to buy high-end products, many people in the village have it. On the surface they look very kind, but deep down they don't even know how to hate them.
Not to mention others, her sister-in-law probably wishes them bad luck every day.
Thinking of this, Feng Zhuanxia felt that she had gone too far. How could she doubt her daughter?
She said in a gentle tone: "Forget it, I already know who it is in my heart. That bitch will do bad things, and she will get her own reward."
Guan Lei's heart skipped a beat, secretly Scolding: This old bitch has such a vicious mouth!
"Xiaolan, what happened today is not right with my mother. Don't take it to heart. You want to go out and relax, and my mother agrees. You can go as soon as your brother confirms it for you."
Feng Zhuanxia paused for a moment and then said: "Your brother gave me 50 yuan a few days ago. I will get it for you. You can go and see if there is anything you need to buy."
With that said, Feng Zhuanxia opened the drawer under the kang cabinet, took out 50 yuan and handed it to Zhao Lan.
Guan Lei felt very uncomfortable. This Zhao Yang, last time she asked him for money to buy facial oil and shampoo, he cursed her and gave money to his mother. She was very rich.
Had she known this, she shouldn't have softened her heart and given him her money to spend.
She was angry and couldn't get angry, so she had to excuse herself to go to the toilet and go outside.

Gujiatai.
The sun is shining brightly.
The embroidery factory is bustling with activity.
Guan Youshuang approached the village committee last night and asked them to help promote the embroidery competition.
In this era, women are more or less embroidered. Many people like to use embroidery to embellish items, such as shoe uppers, handkerchiefs, pillowcases, and even larger quilt covers.
However, most people are not professional in embroidery.
For embroidery factories, Guan Youshuang's positioning has always been professionalism and innovation. She hopes to select suitable candidates from the beginning.
As she said before, her original intention was that the first batch of people would be people from Gujiatai and the next village.
So it is most appropriate for the village committee to take action.
Seeing that the Gu family is developing better and better, although the village chief is not convinced, as the only factory within ten miles, the village committee is still proud of it, so they also try their best to help promote it.
In short, almost all the women in the village came to the embroidery factory today, except Gu Errong's sister-in-law Huang Chunyan.
Huang Chunyan is not unaware of this. After the village chief came last night, Peng Xiaoling came again.
She was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.
Look, God is so unfair. She is also a woman, how can she live such a good life, but she has to go to a factory in another place to watch people's faces to earn a living.
Peng Xiaoling said that as her sister-in-law, Guan Youshuang would definitely give her a high salary, but she really couldn't swallow this.
Today, when Peng Xiaoling came to see her, she excused herself from not feeling well and did not go out. This is the embroidery factory.
Guan Youshuang prepared tea and various snacks for everyone in the leisure room early in the morning.
Everyone chatted while eating, and some even secretly stuffed snacks into their pockets.
The venue has been set up.
Under the tent are rows of long tables and chairs, with needlework, embroidery cloth, embroidery threads of various colors and embroidery tools neatly placed on the tables.
At ten o'clock in the morning, people have almost arrived, and the embroidery competition officially started.
Guan Youshuang talked about the rules of the competition. The competition is divided into two links. The first link is the basic stitch competition, and the second link is the free innovation competition.
She explained the meaning of each link in detail.
“Basic stitching, we will provide a unified pattern and materials, and everyone needs to complete the pattern within the specified time. Then I will score based on the standard of stitching and the completion of the work.”< br>
"Daughter-in-law, may I ask, what is the pattern?" an aunt asked.
Guan Youshuang smiled and took out a folded square piece of white paper. After opening it, a beautiful pink peach blossom was painted on it. In addition to leaves, there were several flower bones on the branches.
Lifelike.
She clamped the piece of paper, about one meter long, on the rope in front of the tent, and said: "This is the pattern. You can look at the embroidered cloth in front of you. In fact, the pattern has been printed on it. Maybe the lines are not too obvious, just refer to this big picture to choose the color of the embroidery thread.”
“It’s pretty simple.”
"Oh, this peach blossom is beautiful. I will embroider this next time I make shoes for my daughter."
"Okay, if you have no other questions, you can start embroidering. The time is 40 minutes."
"Daughter-in-law, your peach blossom petals seem to have more than one color. Do we need to embroider them exactly the same?" the aunt asked again just now.
“In the first step, this is not required. Of course, it would be better if the gradient effect can be embroidered.”
The stitching techniques of flowers and leaves are very simple, and women usually After using it frequently, they confidently picked up the embroidery cloth at hand, put it on the embroidery stretcher, and started to embroider.
What Guan Youshuang prepared for them was a ten centimeter small embroidery piece, and the patterns inside were relatively small. In fact, for people who are skilled in embroidery, it can be completed in 20 minutes.
The reason why she gave 40 minutes was because the fabric she prepared was a special fabric for embroidery. It was different from the old coarse fabric that everyone usually used. She was worried that everyone might not be used to it.
In addition, she hopes that everyone will have enough time to use basic stitches to embroider the works more delicately.
Although the pattern is not complicated, it tests everyone’s basic skills and the accuracy of stitching.
No matter how the stitching method is changed, it is always based on the basic stitching method. It can be said that basic stitching is the key to success or failure in embroidery.
In a pleasant atmosphere, everyone began to embroider with concentration.
Time passed little by little, and everyone was working hard with concentration, striving to complete their works within the limited time.
In fact, within twenty minutes, three or four women had completed the work. Guan Youshuang also walked over to take a look. They were all well done.
Forty minutes passed quickly.
Guan Youshuang stood up and went to check everyone's embroidery works one by one.
