Rebirth 1986

Chapter 137

The next morning, Su Chengwen was busy with his affairs as usual, while An Qing stayed at home and did not go out.

It was getting colder and colder outside, and it was snowing heavily in City A. An Qing was always afraid of the cold, and didn't like to be lively like other women's houses, so she simply drew the blueprints for Bailihang at home.

At this time, there was no electric heater, and there was no way to heat the kang in the house. Seeing that the western-style tube building was not as warm as the countryside, fortunately, Su Chengwen was afraid that she would be cold, so he bought a few baskets of charcoal when he came back, and An Qing was not stingy with using it. , I ordered a large pot in the house, the windows and doors on the kitchen side were open for ventilation, so there was no need to be afraid of being smoked, and then she filled the hot water bottle with hot water and hugged it in her arms, and it was finally not so cold.

Leaning on the table, An Qing put homemade plush foot covers on his feet, and a blanket on his legs, and then twirling the pen with his fingers, he drew some simple lines on the paper on the table.

There are many styles of clothing in her mind, but those that are suitable for this era must be carefully selected. It's not that other clothes are not good-looking, but that people today are not as open as later generations, and some styles that are too trendy cannot be used. You have to take it slowly, and wait until people get used to the newer styles before slowly pushing forward, otherwise, if you make clothes that are too avant-garde all of a sudden, you will only be called deviant by some old antiques. She remembers very clearly that a few years ago When the bat shirt with the back of the head was first released, how was it picked on by others? Bailixing is going to take the route of high-end customization, but it can't live up to the truth and lose a lot in the wind reviews.

An Qing carefully selected in her mind for a long time, and finally selected a few styles that looked novel but not too trendy, thinking that the Chinese New Year would be less than a month away, and this time was also the first batch For the drawings for Bailixing, she even chose a couple outfit and a family festive suit for a family of three. This kind of suit may not be worn by many people usually, but during the festive time of the Chinese New Year, Someone will definitely like it, and this style can be worn by men, women, and children. If someone likes it, a little change can be made at that time, and the elderly style can be added. Imagine a family of five or six wearing the same style. How sensational it must be for clothes to visit relatives.

An Qing paused while holding the pen, as if thinking of that scene, she couldn't help but chuckled.

She changed a piece of white paper and laid it flat on the table, and then she drew it as she remembered, and was going to send this set of suits and couple outfits to Bailihang so that Zhao Jianguo could drive them out first. If it goes well, Bailixing's reputation will be established, and then you won't have to worry about other styles of clothes.

An Qing writes and draws, because she is not a professional student of design, so some parts of the painting are very abstract. She had to mark small characters on the side to explain. It took a whole morning to complete the picture, and in the afternoon she took it The pen and paper started to draw something else, and she put away the pen and paper when Su Chengwen came back at night, and the two of them were gentle and didn't talk much.

The next morning, An Qing got up early in the morning, and took out the blueprints he had drawn yesterday to revise them. He didn't go out to Bailihang until he was satisfied. After handing over the blueprints to Zhao Jianguo, he took them with him Went to the workshop behind.

"These blueprints were all drawn by you. I don't think they look the same as your previous outfits?" Zhao Jianguo sent someone to find the most experienced tailor, but he took the blueprints and looked at them. Finding that the few sets of clothes he had seen before were not on the picture, he couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, An Qing chuckled and said, "My previous sets were simple, and I will give them to you later when I finish drawing them. This time, the ones for you are more important. Let those old masters help drive these two sets out first. It's Ying Jing'er's clothes, and they'll be on sale just as Chinese New Year is approaching."

Zhao Jianguo listened strangely, looked carefully at the clothes on the blueprint, but looked confused, not because his appreciation level was too low, but because An Qing's paintings were too abstract, and what happened to be held in his hand was In that set of family and parent-child outfits, some places even used cartoon single lines, and there were many places on it that were painted and altered a lot. It looked messy, let alone Zhao Jianguo, if no one explained it, I'm afraid it was Even if other master tailors got the drawings, they still couldn't figure out what the clothes in the painting looked like.

Seeing that Zhao Jianguo frowned, An Qing didn't explain, but waited for the old master to come and give him the blueprints before explaining to him, "One of these two sets of clothes is a family parent-child suit, which includes two adult clothes and a For children, of course, if there is a need at that time, you can add a few more clothes for adults, or add two more clothes for the elderly."

"This set of clothes is mainly based on the background color of Chinese red. It is mainly made of light and soft cotton fabric. The interlayer inside is made of clean duck down or goose down. It is up to you to buy it. If you can't buy it, you can change it. It can also be made into cotton, and when the time comes, we will use a sewing machine to make dark threads on the surface to form a grid pattern, and compact the cotton to make it look as light as possible. Children's clothes are trimmed with white velvet fabric, and adults use navy blue."

"Then what are these floral patterns on it? Are they embroidered? We don't have such a good embroidery worker here." The master craftsman's eyes lit up when he heard An Qing talk about the style of the clothes, but he frowned and said in a blink of an eye, because Looking at the clothes on Anqing's drawing, there are some lace patterns. If it is really embroidered by an embroiderer, it is not a simple matter.

An Qing said with a smile: "Actually, if this dress is really good and exquisite, of course it would be better to find someone to embroider it on or use a finished fabric with a pattern, but it is definitely too late to make it before a year ago, so I can only use other methods. Alright, Uncle Wang, have you ever seen paper-cutting?"

The master's surname was Wang, and his name was Wang Dexiang. He nodded after hearing An Qing's question. Many of the older generation's old women in the family can cut paper during the Chinese New Year. Of course he has seen it.

"What we have to do now is to make the clothes, and then use the paper-cut method to stitch patterns and sew them on."

An Qing pulled out the top drawing and put it aside, the clothes on the bottom one changed slightly, the pattern on it changed from the original tattoo to a simple pattern, especially for children's padded jackets It turned into a small cloak, in addition to adding a loose hat, and the lace on it also turned into a naive rabbit pattern, which suddenly became much cuter.

"Because there is no embroiderer, and I'm not sure if you can find that kind of good material with weaving thread patterns, so these patterns are all spliced ​​out of different colors of wool, and then sewn on the clothes with hidden threads, and the adult's There is no change on the whole. The women's is the same as the children's simple cloak with raw edges, and the fur ball on the neckline remains the same, while the men's ones add some simple fancy buckles and small embellishments on the navy blue trim. It should be much simpler."

Zhao Jianguo watched An Qing mark out the drawings that needed attention and modification one by one with a pen, and then looked up at Wang Dexiang, "Uncle Wang, what do you think, if it is done as An Qing said, can it be done?"

Wang Dexiang rubbed his chin and thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "It's not difficult to do it according to the modified one, but there may be some small problems in the splicing of the pattern. The pattern on yours is not very clear and we have never seen it before." , how about Miss An, how about drawing a picture for us and clearly marking the colors of the stitching?"

An Qing nodded, "This is easy, I'll draw it for you."

While speaking, An Qing turned the drawing over and drew a cartoon rabbit on the back with a few strokes. After marking the color of the rabbit, he suddenly drew a big carrot next to the rabbit. Only then handed the drawings to Master Wang again.

This time, Master Wang understood it at a glance. Looking at the naive fat rabbit holding a radish and showing its front teeth on the drawing, he couldn't help chuckling, "My old man has lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone draw a rabbit like this. But don't tell me, the rabbit in this picture looks very different from the real rabbit, but it can make people know it is a rabbit at a glance. Miss An, you are really talented, my old man has to admire, and compared to those old Painting, this rabbit looks much more attractive, I believe that after it is made, many people will like it."

Master Wang didn't hold back his voice when he praised An Qing, and the masters who were working beside him had already listened to the movement on their side with their ears upright. When they heard this, they couldn't help it, and surrounded them curiously. , when they saw the rabbits with their front teeth exposed on the drawings, they all laughed out loud, praising their cuteness.

Moreover, they all make clothes, and their intuition on this is much stronger than that of Zhao Jianguo. When Zhao Jianguo heard what An Qing said about the parent-child outfit, he just thought it seemed good, but these workers just thought it was good when An Qing said it casually. I have already assumed the appearance of the finished product in my mind, and my interest has been raised.

They can imagine that if the finished product is really similar to what Anqing said, and a family of several wearing the same clothes go out on the street, it will definitely attract the attention of many people and cause a sensation, and Bailixing will definitely borrow This was an instant hit.

When everyone thought of this, their eyes lit up and they discussed it very enthusiastically. Some of them even proposed to change the pattern on the clothes, which would definitely be liked by more people. Seeing their heated discussions, An Qing, They simply drew a few more patterns, including pandas, piglets, flowers, grass, fish and birds, each of which looked different from what they had seen before, but it was very beautiful.

After Master Wang carefully put away An Qing's drawing, the parent-child family decoration was almost explained, and the eyes of several people fell on another drawing...
