Chapter 138 Using Professor Liu
With the development of the times, in addition to making fuss about fabrics and patterns, cheongsam has also added many other elements, such as suspender cheongsam, low-cut cheongsam, backless cheongsam, high-cut cheongsam, miniskirt cheongsam, puff-sleeve cheongsam, all kinds of strange things, there are The modifications are indeed eye-catching, but most of them are nondescript and have lost the unique classical beauty of cheongsam.
and so.
Li Cunxi does not intend to design some cheongsam that is too advanced. At most, he will make some designs on the placket and collar of the cheongsam.
first set.
He chose a light blue cheongsam without any fancy patterns, with red braided buttons, all the way down from the placket, and the neckline was slightly lowered. In the painting, Bai Xiaoyan has two braids, which is lively and youthful.
Paragraph two.
He was inspired by blue and white porcelain and blue and white cheongsam. In the painting, Bai Xiaoyan has long hair tied up and is lightly painted with pink and white. She is elegant yet elegant.
The third style is more conservative, a dark blue high-collar cheongsam with a faint cloud pattern. In the painting, Bai Xiaoyan has permed curly hair, a white face and red lips, looking mature and charming.
After painting.
Li Cunxi handed the painting to Professor Liu.
Professor Liu almost trembled as he took the three pieces of paper. He watched Li Cunxi's creation throughout the whole process, from disdain at the beginning to almost horror at the end.
These three pictures of Li Cunxi perfectly highlight the heroine's status in three age groups.
"Still satisfied?"
Li Cunxi asked.
Professor Liu took a deep breath, took two steps back, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for helping me realize my dream."
"Professor Liu is very polite. If you want to make all three styles, it is best to use pure silk for all three styles. After all, only good silk texture can bring out the classical beauty of cheongsam. Then the first and second styles can be printed and dyed with silk, but You need a flat screen printing machine. As for the third model, I think you can find someone to weave floral satin, which is more in line with the design of this old cheongsam.”
Li Cunxi suggested softly.
"My friend is the leader of our Second Printing and Dyeing Factory in Kyoto. I can ask him to help me find the machine you mentioned. But what is the process of this damask and what should I do?"
Professor Liu humbly asked for advice.
Li Cunxi explained: "The satin in silk is actually a means of weaving patterns, and damask, as the name suggests, uses a loom to weave patterns of different colors on silk."
"It turns out that I was taught."
Professor Liu looked ashamed.
I am a professor who studies the language of the Dragon Kingdom, but I asked someone to explain the meaning of Chinese characters.
Should he say that his knowledge is shallow, or should he comfort himself that there is no end to learning?
"I accidentally heard some knowledge from a friend in a silk weaving factory, so I learned it and sold it now. Professor Liu doesn't need to worry about it."
Li Cunxi saw that the other party looked bitter and resentful, so he comforted him.
Professor Liu smiled, knowing that Li Cunxi was comforting him.
It is reasonable for a person who is proficient in cheongsam to understand the craftsmanship of silk weaving.
But Li Cunxi's move greatly increased his goodwill, and he continued to ask for advice: "In this way, the damask craftsmanship should be extremely complicated. Is there anyone in the capital who can do it?"
Li Cunxi mused: "This satin weaver needs to have that kind of machine at home. This thing probably doesn't exist in Beijing, so you have to go to Suhang to find a master. Of course, if you feel that you don't have enough time, I can accommodate you and you can buy it ready-made." Regarding the fabric, I will design a few more styles for you according to the colors. Although the effect is not as good as these three cheongsams, it can still be worn."
"Don't be anxious. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools."
Professor Liu has already identified these three styles of cheongsam, just like when he saw Bai Xiaoyan, he immediately recognized her as the all-powerful heroine in his story.
Li Cunxi smiled and said: "Since you have time, you can go to the silk weaving factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to find a master who knows how to weave silk."
"Too."
Professor Liu nodded, put away the painting solemnly, opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Li Cunxi took out a wad of paper money from his pocket: "Here is 800 yuan. If it's not enough, just talk to your wife and I'll ask her to send it to you."
Professor Liu quickly took the money and said gratefully: "Mr. Li, thank you very much. If Liu will be useful in the future, you can just say something and I won't even frown."
Li Cunxi waved his hand and said: "Professor Liu, you are so polite. It is rare that you appreciate my wife and let her be the heroine, and she likes acting. As a husband, I will definitely help you to make your drama and my wife perfect." The posture is presented in front of numerous students."
Bai Xiaoyan felt as if she was filled with honey when she heard this, and looked at the tenderness in her husband's eyes that could not be concealed.
"Mr. Li really loves his wife as much as her life. He is a role model for our generation, so I won't disturb you two. Please don't send us off."
Professor Liu flattered him at the right time and was about to turn around and leave.
"Professor Liu, walk slowly." After Li Cunxi finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something and warned: "Professor Liu's silk craftsmanship is different, the quality is also different, and there are also many details in weaving satin. I will list them for you. This note will save you from making this trip, getting some inferior goods, and just making do with cheongsam, which would be a waste of your efforts."
"That's it."
Professor Liu stopped and thought.
As the saying goes, insiders know the ropes, and laymen watch the excitement. Even if you write down the precautions for him, it is impossible for him as a layman to become an expert who can distinguish the quality of silk and understand the weaving process in a short time. As Li Cunxi said, if something happens If you miss the point and cannot buy the best fabric, then the gain outweighs the loss.
It is definitely better to find a fellow expert.
But although he had a wide network of contacts, he did not know anyone who was engaged in the silk making industry.
Just when he was in trouble.
Li Cunxi came over with a piece of paper: "Professor Liu, these are some precautions. Take a look."
expert?
Professor Liu looked at Li Cunxi.
Isn't he riding a donkey looking for a donkey?
He grabbed Li Cunxi's arm and asked earnestly: "Mr. Li, are you free to come with me to Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"
"Well, I'm very busy recently, so I may not have time."
"It doesn't matter, I can accommodate your time."
"But..."
Li Cunxi looked at his wife, winked at her, and signaled her to drop the matter.
"Husband, just go with Professor Liu."
Women all love beauty. Bai Xiaoyan was also aroused by the cheongsam painted by her husband, so she helped Professor Liu persuade her.
"Okay, then give me four or five days to prepare. By the way, when you are free, I will discuss the specific route plan with you."
Li Cunxi reluctantly agreed.
