Chapter 248 Surprise
After lunch, Guan Youshuang yawned.
The first batch of goods from the county carpet factory has been delivered. This week, she has been busy giving pre-job training to the workers and suffered from severe lack of sleep.
The plan for this batch of goods is to embroider three-dimensional peonies with a size of 50X50 cm. The delivery time is the 20th of next month.
In the past few nights, she has been staying up late designing patterns.
This morning, she called Yang Yan. She originally wanted to ask when it would be convenient. She took the drawings to the county seat and asked Yang Yan to take a look. Who knew that she was told to just let her check it? He believed her.
Moved, Guan Youshuang carefully revised the drawing again, then printed the pattern on the carpet in the morning and officially started work.
The basics of the workers are pretty good, but they have never embroidered anything on a carpet before, and they feel that they can’t handle the needle or thread, and the needle is very slow.
This batch is not large, 100 pieces, but they are all squares with a side length of 2 meters, which is equivalent to four peonies embroidered on a carpet.
According to this efficiency, it is estimated that the goods will not be delivered in two months.
Yang Yan was also happy, knowing that it was not easy for them to embroider purely by hand, so a carpet was counted as 120 yuan in wages.
It can be said to be very kind.
Guan Youshuang is a little anxious.
If something goes wrong with the first batch of goods, even if Yang Yan continues to be willing to cooperate with her later, she will be embarrassed to accept it again.
She has been thinking about how to improve the situation.
She drank a cup of tea and woke up.
"Youshuang, someone is looking for you outside." Wang Huiying opened the door curtain and said.
"Who is it?"
"I don't know him either. It's at the door. Go and have a look."
Guan Youshuang walked out and took a look, and was particularly surprised.
It turned out to be Director Li of the County Education Bureau and his sister, with a car parked next to them.
The aunt is still the same as before, with a haggard face and white hair, but her hair is neatly combed.
"Auntie, Director Li, it's you, hurry up, come in."
Li Hanmei smiled and said, "I'm not going, I want to visit your factory."< br>
“Okay, okay.”
The three people walked to the embroidery factory.
Director Li said: "It took a lot of effort for me to convince you to come here."
"Thank you, Director Li."
"It's okay, you have done a good job for the education industry. In order to contribute and be reasonable, I have to help you.”
As soon as he entered the embroidery factory, Director Li praised Guan Youshuang for his ability.
At noon, everyone went back to eat.
There is no one in the workshop.
Li Hanmei walked straight to a work station, touched the carpet that had been embroidered with a few stitches, and said, "This material is too hard."
"Yes, everyone said it was difficult to embroider. , I’m worried that I won’t be able to deliver the goods next month. Madam, do you have any good ideas?”
“This kind of carpet material needs to be pre-processed before embroidery to make the material as beautiful as possible. It needs to be softer for the injection," Li Hanmei said.
Guan Youshuang didn't expect this.
It seems that there is still a lot of knowledge in this embroidery.
She hurriedly asked: "How to deal with it?"
"You can use water, but the best way is to iron it with an iron."
"Okay, I'll go back right away. Go home and get the iron." Guan Youshuang was so excited that she ran home and brought the iron.
Li Hanmei helped her demonstrate, and Guan Youshuang touched it. Really, that part of the carpet suddenly became soft. She picked up the needle and tried it. It was indeed much easier to insert the needle than before.
"Also, thick cotton thread is fine for this material, but wool thread is more effective." Li Hanmei pointed to the cotton thread on the pointer.
She bought woolen thread last time. Guan Youshuang quickly took out a handful of woolen thread.
Li Hanmei’s needlework was steady and she embroidered a flower bud in just a few minutes. “Look, does it look better with wool thread?”
"Yes, yes. Auntie, you are so awesome. Thank you for being willing to help me."
"You're welcome, your lover has saved me before, and you came to me last time, but I was I'm in a bad mood, so I didn't agree to it. By the way, my name is Li Hanmei. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Li."
"Okay, Aunt Li, I'm really grateful to you today. It will definitely not be delivered within a month."
"How many pieces are there in this batch?"
"There are 100 pieces in total, all of this size. My drawing is 50cm. The size is equivalent to embroidering 4 flowers on a carpet, which is a lot of work.”
Li Hanmei nodded, took the drawing, looked at it, and said, "Actually, you can enlarge this pattern a little bit more and add some decoration around it, which will make it look better."
As he said that, Li Hanmei picked up the drawing. With a pencil and a few strokes, the surrounding decorations were drawn, "That's it."
Guan Youshuang was amazed.
This lady is really a genius.
“However, I have already stamped the pattern on it. Fortunately, all I bought are water-soluble brushes, so I will quickly erase the lines now.”
Li Hanmei said with a smile: "Although it feels a little troublesome now, it will be much faster later. By the way, does the carpet factory require four flowers to be embroidered?" Theme, just give this batch of goods a name when the time comes.”
“That’s good, let’s change it. Find some larger paper for me, and I’ll help you draw the picture.”
"Aunt Li, drink some water first. You see you haven't even taken a break."
"It's not too late to finish your work first and then drink. Let's finish the pattern quickly. We'll finish it later." The workers can start embroidering directly when they arrive.”
"My sister is like that, she can't take any time off." Director Li, who had just walked around the workshop, came over and said.
Comparing Guan Youshuang's drawings, Li Hanmei quickly drew new drawings, and then added new embellishment elements around them.
Guan Youshuang quickly wiped 10 carpets and then printed new patterns on them.
It took only an hour to do so much.
After finishing these tasks, Guan Youshuang asked Gu Errong's brother Gu Ruyi to borrow Director Li's car and went to the market to buy 30 irons and 30 power strips.
Half past two in the afternoon.
Everyone entered the workshop one after another and was stunned when they saw the new patterns.
In just one afternoon, Guan Youshuang designed another pattern.
Awesome.
Guan Youshuang introduced to everyone: "This is Teacher Li, an expert in embroidery. She also designed the new drawings for us. She will work with us in the future. If you don't understand anything, please feel free to ask. You can ask Teacher Li for advice.”
Everyone applauded.
A few women probably knew Li Hanmei and knew her situation, so they were whispering below.
Guan Youshuang didn't like such people. She cleared her throat and said: "The new pattern has been printed. Everyone has an iron on their workstation and connected the power strip. Everyone is embroidering. Iron the carpet first to make it soft before embroidering. This will make it easier to remove the needle. "In order to prevent the fabric from being burned, you need to sprinkle a little water before ironing," Li Hanmei added.
Everyone started to take action.
At this time, Huang Chunyan walked in panting.
