Chapter 72 Grandma's Tailor Shop
Chapter 72 Grandma's Tailor Shop
No matter how you style it, a suspender top is still essentially a suspender garment. It looks cool on boys, but it's hardly a stylish piece of clothing for girls.
So the girls weren't very interested in wearing posture correctors. Yufei thought for a moment and told Lin Tiantian and the others that she would give each of them the prettiest dress after their posture improved.
Then she revealed her secret weapon: learning to paint from Master Qiuju, which was finally showing initial results.
She finally managed to draw the shapes correctly. When she first started drawing, she drew the fashion styles she remembered from her past life.
Among them were some princess dresses, which Yufei believed no little girl could resist. Sure enough, she showed the two little girls the princess dresses she had drawn on.
Lin Tiantian insisted that Yufei make her a dress like this, and she could even call her "sister." This was a temptation for Yufei, but for the sake of her development plan, she had to resist it T^T
Although Lin Tiantian is a very rational person, she looks like an adorable little girl. Yufei plans to raise her to be more like a little girl; isn't a rational little girl quite appealing?
Despite her carefree and somewhat dim-witted nature, Zhao Jing possesses the shrewdness of a mature woman, and Yufei often dresses her up to portray this image.
But she wouldn't interfere with their personalities; Yufei found this contrast endearing and especially loved it.
Lin Tiantian and Zhao Jing were eager to try it after seeing Yufei's design sketches, so Yufei easily persuaded them to wear the backpacks as well.
This is also for their benefit, isn't it? Their posture has been corrected, and they look good in pretty clothes.
Yufei watched as Lin Tiantian and Zhao Jing listened to her words and decided to fulfill their dreams as soon as possible.
Anyway, she has quite a few clothing styles in her mind, so she's not worried that they won't want to wear the clothes once they get them.
Yufei found her grandmother, who had rented a shop in the farmers' market in Longyuan Town and was doing tailoring business there.
They've now found a reliable general manager to run their agricultural products business.
This person was introduced by Zhu Xiangui; he was a friend of Zhu's for many years. Because he was quite straightforward, he offended the interests of certain people and was subsequently ousted from his original company by them.
Grandpa Yufei had spent half a year with him, and having seen countless people, he praised him highly. Therefore, he unanimously agreed to his joining and also gave him a certain number of shares.
Grandma Yufei was finally freed from that burden and could do what she loved: making clothes. Yufei came today specifically to have her grandma make her some clothes.
Yufei showed her grandmother the pattern and the measurements of Lin Tiantian and Zhao Jing. Yufei's grandmother looked at the pattern and measurements and said there were no problems; she would come to pick up her clothes in a few days.
They started getting busy.
"Hmm~ Why hasn't Yufei left yet?" Yufei's grandmother, having recovered from her excitement at seeing the new clothes, was a little startled to see Yufei still standing there and asked...
"Grandma~ It's Saturday today, and I don't have anything to do. I'm also quite interested in sewing, so I'll stay and learn from you."
Yufei pouted and said. Grandma Yufei was clearly pleased with Yufei's answer, pulling her closer and explaining how to purchase fabric. She used a white marker to mark the dimensions and cutting instructions, a step that took a long time.
Then, it took Grandma Yufei two whole days to sew, iron, and finish the dress, and a Lolita dress was finally completed.
Actually, if this garment were given to any other tailor, it might take them half a month to make one like this. But who is Grandma Yufei? She's a renowned tailor, recognized for her exceptional skills throughout the surrounding area.
With the design in mind, Grandma Yufei studied it briefly and broke down the garment, making it much easier to assemble.
Fortunately, Grandma Yufei had gone to Longyang County a few days ago to buy a lot of goods, including fabric for making Lolita dresses.
Otherwise, just choosing the fabric might take three to five days.
The dress designed for Zhao Jing is modeled after the classic princess dress of the Snow Queen from later generations. Grandma Yufei said that this dress will take some time to complete.
She didn't have the material for that dress; blue tulle wasn't very common even in Longyang County. But she vaguely remembered seeing it in a fabric shop.
She needed to go to Longyang County to look for it, so the clothes had to be put aside for now. Of course, Yufei wouldn't give Lin Tiantian's clothes to Zhao Jing before they were finished.
So as not to disappoint the innocent young girl, Zhao Jing.
Inside the space, Yufei arrived at the silkworm farm. Watching these plump little creatures wriggling and eating mulberry leaves, Yufei felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
"Baby Dragon, I put these silkworms in two months ago. Based on the time frame, they should have spun their silk by now."
Yufei thought about how, in the real world, she had been gone for over two months, and these silkworms were already countless generations of their first generation.
Even if the number of silkworms brought in at that time wasn't large, the industry should have grown and started producing silk by then.
"Yes, young master! The silkworms have already spun many batches of silk. I've sorted them by type and put them in the warehouse. Would you like to take a look?"
The baby dragon flapped its wings proudly, eager to share the results of its busy work with Yufei.
Yufei and Longbaobao arrived at the warehouse, which was much larger than when she first entered the space. Each time the space was upgraded, the warehouse's storage capacity would also increase.
Long Baobao led Yufei to a storage cabinet labeled "Cloth," pointed to the first row, and said, "This row contains all the silkworm cocoons I've collected, though the silkworms inside can't climb out anymore."
The first storage box contained pale blue silkworm cocoons, still shimmering with starlight and ice crystals.
"This is ice silkworm silk. Little master, feel it and see what it's like," the dragon baby said expectantly to Yufei.
Yufei reached out and touched the ice silkworm cocoon. It was cool and refreshing, but not biting. The coolness was just right. Yufei thought it would be especially comfortable to wear in the summer, and it wouldn't feel too cold to touch in the winter.
The second storage box contained pale pink silkworm cocoons. The silk threads wrapped around the cocoons resembled tiny blood vessels carrying flowing blood, and this "blood" even shimmered with a faint light, making them as beautiful as works of art.
"This is a warm silkworm cocoon. Once it's made into clothes, little master, you'll never feel cold again when you wear it inside."
Yufei nodded as she listened to Long Baobao's introduction. Besides these, there were also water silkworm cocoons that looked like Runyu (a type of jade), pink silkworm cocoons that emitted various floral fragrances, and colorful silkworm cocoons that shone like a rainbow.
Yufei simply couldn't imagine how beautiful and stunning the world would be if all these silkworm cocoons were made into silk and then into garments.
But she doesn't know how to peel the cocoon and unravel the silk to make silk!
