Chapter 16
Picking up a needle
The Xiang Embroidery Studio is not too big. There is a simple reception area at the entrance, two small sofas and a small coffee table. On the wall are several pieces of Xiang embroidery embroidered by hand and framed. Walking further inside , it is the embroidery area of Pu Xiu Xiu. There is an embroidery stand with various embroidery threads hanging next to it. There are two work tables on the right hand side. There is nothing on the table on the left side for her to draw or do other things. For other purposes, the one to the right is a typical desk. There is also a monitor with a large screen on the desk, which is usually used to edit her videos.
This is all the space for Pu XiuXiu to record videos.
Compared with Tao Qiqi's shooting environment, it is indeed crude.
Jiang Chunjun withdrew his gaze from the entire studio, put his legs together, looked at his nose and heart, and was very attentively waiting for Pu Xiuxiu to come back.
Everything on the table had been put back into the bags. Shen Yue brought him the tea again, and Jiang Chunjun would pick it up and take a sip from time to time.
Not long after, Pu Xiuxiu came back, holding a rolled up cloth in her hand.
"I've kept you waiting." She sat down and spread the things in her hands flat on the table.
"Soon," Jiang Chunyuan showed a bright smile, "I'm willing to wait for as long as I want."
If he had a tail behind him, it would be wagging very happily now.
Shen Yue stood behind him and stuck out her tongue at Pu Xiuxiu.
"Now," Pu Xiuxiu put her hand on the cloth roll and gently lifted it, and a short section of the cover was lifted, "I just went to get this."
After the cover was lifted, the inside was filled with embroidery needles.
Jiang Chunjun craned his neck to take a look and asked Pu Xiuxiu if he could touch it.
Pu Xiuxiu also signaled him with her eyes: Please feel free to do so.
Jiang Chunjun stretched out two fingers to pick up a needle and looked at it closely, then put it back into the cloth bag. Then he retracted his hand and said timidly: "They are lined up together, they look so murderous."
Still murderous, Pu Xiuxiu said: "These are my embroidery needles. I can't answer the question you just asked."
She was referring to the question Jiang Chunjun asked just now: "If the embroidery is sewn on other fabrics, which material will be more iron-fitting?"
"After all, I'm not a professional sewing person, so I don't have much knowledge about this question, so I won't answer it casually so as not to mislead you," Pu Xiuxiu said. "The needles we use for Hunan embroidery are mostly made in Suzhou. I think they have a short edge." Sharp and blunt at the base of the nose.”
As Pu Xiuxiu spoke, he took out a needle from it and held it in a ring shape with his thumb and index finger: "Our embroidery workers use only our thumb and index finger to bend the needle into a ring shape. At that time, the strength also relies entirely on these two fingers. The other three fingers are bent and not exerted. The ability to achieve even thinness and smoothness in Hunan embroidery all depends on the skill of using the needle gently, heavily, quickly and slowly."
After she finished the demonstration, she finally said: "Of course, generally after the embroidery is stretched, it needs to be ironed on the front and back along the embroidered silk path on the cotton blanket covered with white cloth. This can make the It is smooth and docile. If it is high-quality, you will pay special attention when using the needle, so you don’t need to iron this process.”
Jiang Chunjun nodded: "I was too abrupt. I will visit a professional tailor again on this matter."
How to perfectly combine Hunan embroidery and ready-made clothing is indeed a big problem that he needs to overcome and solve.
"It's not enough. Since you asked about this..." Pu Xiuxiu simply opened the skylight to him and said frankly, "It seems that you are planning to combine Hunan embroidery with your ready-made clothes?"
"Yes." Now that Jiang Chunyuan had asked, of course he had no intention of hiding it anymore, "Hand embroidery is time-consuming and laborious, and the requirements for embroidery workers are high, so the price will naturally be higher. I do 'Embroidery of Spring'
This brand has no intention of producing low-end lines. I would like to ask your thoughts. If we combine Hunan embroidery with clothing, do you have any intention?"
Before guessing Jiang Chunjun's plan, Pu Xiuxiu really didn't dare to think about it. Her biggest ambition was to combine Hunan embroidery with relatively simple items such as fans and handkerchiefs. After all, her resources and funds were limited.
But now Jiang Chunjun is here, and he has the solid backing of the entire Chiang Group. He is indeed qualified to have such a big ambition.
"Of course I do," Pu Xiuxiu answered him frankly, "In this way, you are my biggest customer, not just a supplier. My Xiang Embroidery Shop has just been established, and it is still a very young brand. If you
As I said, just like your "Xiu Chun Guang", it's a good time to burn the cold stove. It's the same for you, and it's the same for me."
Jiang Chunyuan suddenly became happy: "Are you free tomorrow?"
The time for the open class on intangible cultural heritage has not yet been decided. Pu Xiuxiu thought he had something serious to do, so he nodded directly: "I have time."
"Then let's go play script killing together!"
...They are both young people. Pu Xiuxiu thinks that her ideas are young enough, but she still can't keep up with Jiang Chunjuan's out-of-the-box rhythm.
Even Shen Yue found it nonsensical: "Mr. Jiang, aren't we talking about cooperation? How come we are involved in the script again?"
"You will know when the time comes." Jiang Chunjun blinked his big bright eyes, and he actually pretended to be a bit cautious.
Forget it, he's so good-looking, he definitely won't lie.
After Shen Yue sent the person away and came back, she still felt that Pu Xiuxiu's agreement was a bit hasty: "Sister Xiuxiu, are you being demoted? You have time to embroider in the studio, record videos, or interview a few more
Student, what are you doing? Why don't you go play some script and kill him? You don't really have a crush on him, do you?"
"This Jiang Chunjun is a bit interesting," Pu Xiuxiu said. "His seemingly nonsensical words actually have his own set of logic. Moreover, this person is very smart and is very good at throwing out a few words in the tone that interests me most.
When the burden comes, it depends on whether I answer it or not. Whether I answer it or not, he has countermeasures and responds very quickly. As we were talking about this just now, he suddenly proposed to play script killing. He must be with us.
It has something to do with the cooperation between us. If you don’t believe me, let’s go see it together tomorrow.”
"Of course I want to go! I'm your assistant!" Shen Yue said loudly, "I think he is just interested in you and wants to chase you. He does it in such a fancy way. In fact, it's just a means. It's not as complicated as you think!"
"
Pu Xiuxiu shook her head, but did not continue to argue with her.
When she showed Jiang Chunjun the embroidery needle just now, Jiang Chunjun picked up the needle with a casual movement, which was the posture of a very professional embroidery worker.
This Jiang Chunjun is definitely not as harmless as he looks, maybe he is a ruthless character.
Pu Xiuxiu said: "Pack your things and let's go and have a look tomorrow. I haven't played script killing yet. It won't be good to be embarrassed by then."
Shen Yue curled her lips: "It sounds like you have played with me."
Pu Xiuxiu let out a long sigh: "What's going on with the two of us? We are so young, so we have the nerve to talk about making Xiangxiu younger. In the end, we are living like a retired old lady. Don't let the secret be revealed tomorrow!"
