Chapter 154 Lace

When they arrived at Suxiu Street, Jin Yuanbao refused to stay in his bag. He stuck out his head and paws and looked left and right.

"There are a lot of embroideries, but not many of them are spiritual."

Ling Mei simply held it in her arms: "These are all foreign trade goods. There must be high-quality products, but there are not many."

Wu Nanyin saw Lingmei again and said happily: "Miss Xiao, you are here again." She bent down towards Xiao Jin, "Oh, Xiao Jin is getting cuter and cuter!"

Ling Mei followed her into the house and sat down, leaving Xiao Jin to walk around on his own to loosen his muscles.

Then the store clerk and customers saw a plump golden retriever kitten with a round face and short legs wandering around in the store with great energy.

It deliberately stole the art, jumped on the table, squatted down solemnly, and stared at the two embroiderers working.

The embroiderer's work today is different from usual.

An embroiderer held a silver needle and kept poking and poking it on a piece of white cloth. Xiao Jin couldn't understand it for a long time. He tilted his head in confusion and looked at the other embroiderer.

Another embroiderer was even more powerful. There were dozens of small mallets on the embroidery frame, and she could hold eight in one hand. She didn't know how to operate them, but she woven layers of patterns on the base fabric.

Xiao Jin was stunned: What kind of magical operation is this?

Ling Mei couldn't help but pay attention and asked the boss: "Sister Wu, are the two embroiderers doing lace today?"

The embroiderer clapped her hands gently and said in surprise: "You still have sharp eyes."

She introduced: "What is poked with needles is thousands of silks from Xiaoshan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. What is woven with sticks is stick lace from Shandong. In fact, lace and embroidery have the same purpose. Not only that, our embroiderers can also embroider.

Lace, the embroidered lace is so beautiful.”

Ling Mei couldn't help but nod. Seeing Xiao Jin's interest, she couldn't help but ask: "Can I buy a few pieces of lace? If there are tools for weaving lace, I would also like to get two sets. The elders in my family are very interested in these things.

"

Wu Nanyin smiled and said: "There are ready-made laces. They are all made of cotton and silk. I will pick out some for you. As for the tools, our embroiderer also has several new sets. You can just use them."

Ling Mei smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

After looking at dozens of laces, Mei quickly came up with her own opinions on the two styles of lace.

The Wanlu silk from Jiangsu and Zhejiang is simple and elegant, while the stick lace from Shandong has more complicated patterns. As for embroidered lace, it is common in European and American wedding dresses. It is dreamlike and beautiful. It takes too much craftsmanship, so the embroidered lace here is small.

Ling Mei selected three pieces each according to the complexity of the patterns step by step.

Xiaojin sat on Lingmei's lap and stared at Lace with curiosity and excitement on her face.

Boss Wu liked Xiao Jin's studious look very much: "Miss Xiao, look at Xiao Jin's serious and studious look!"

Ling Mei smiled: "Xiao Jin is really eager to learn."

Wu Nanyin played with Xiao Jin for a while, then she remembered to ask: "Miss Xiao, is your friend satisfied with the last embroidery?"

"Very satisfied." Ling Mei said, "I will come to you again to buy embroidery."

"Want to buy again? Then tell me your requirements this time."

"This time it's for a male elder. He has a successful career and dominates the world. Can you help me think about what kind of embroidery is suitable to give?"

Wu Nanyin's eyes changed when he looked at Lingmei: No wonder the little girl is so noble, she turns out to have such a powerful elder!

She thought for a while and then said: "Horses, eagles, mountains and rivers are all fine. But I don't have much here, only Zhang Jun's horse embroidery."

Ling Mei nodded and said, "Bring it to me and take a look."

After a while, a brown embroidery of a galloping horse was spread out next to Ling Mei.

Jin Yuanbao was a little reluctant: "It's okay."

Wu Nanyin said: "Animals are more difficult to embroider than flowers and plants. This embroidery is indeed ordinary in other aspects, but if you look at the horse's eyes, they are very vivid."

Indeed, the bright horse's eyes are unforgettable. Ling Mei and Wu Nanyin bargained a lot, and finally bought it for 500 yuan.

When I brought Xiao Jin back to the hotel, everyone thought that Ling Mei had gone out and bought a pet. The hotel attendant also took the initiative to give her a set of combs for grooming.

"What a beautiful cat." The waiter greeted Xiao Jin, "Welcome to our hotel."

Xiao Jin nodded with satisfaction and meowed in response.

So, Lingmei got on the elevator amidst the envious eyes of the whole hall.

Back in space, Jin Yuanbao couldn't wait to dismantle the horse embroidery.

Lingmei was drawing on the side. This picture of a horse was too ordinary, and she needed more special creativity.

In one day, Jin Yuanbao mastered the stitching techniques for horse embroidery. The horse he embroidered the next day was already better than the original.

Ling Mei then handed it a picture: "Xiao Jin, come on, embroider according to this picture."

Jin Yuanbao simply couldn't see it: "What did you draw? It's so ugly."

A blackened picture reveals half of a horse's face.

Lingmei explained: "As you can see, the entire manuscript is black. Only the horse's head is exposed, and it is the sunlight that illuminates it. Therefore, the brightness of the sunlight should be embroidered very, very carefully on the horse's face. Xiao Jin,

The success or failure of this embroidery lies in the changes in light and shadow."

Jin Yuanbao said venomously: "What you say is better than what you can draw."

Lingmei ignored its sarcasm and smiled: "Xiao Jin, there are no pictures of flowers of the four seasons to follow this time. You have to rely on your own imagination to draw the sketch. Are you sure?"

Xiao Jin cheered: "I have been with the Mountain God for tens of thousands of years. I have traveled around the world with her. I am used to watching the sun rise in the east and set in the west, and all things grow. Even if I can't draw a manuscript, I still know how to embroider!"

Lingmei clapped her hands: "Well done!"

After Lingmei worked with her on matching colors and selecting needlework, Jin Yuanbao started creating her work with great interest.

No matter how delicate the flower embroidery is, Xiao Jin can embroider it in a few hours. But the light changes in the horse picture are too delicate, so it took three days to embroider it.

Lingmei hugged Xiao Jin and kissed her again and again: "Xiao Jin, you have helped me a lot. Come on, I will take you out to play!"

The place where Lingmei took Xiaojin to play was Hezhai.

He Liuye had long wanted to see what was so unique about this girl that Tan Yueqiu was so full of praise for, so when he heard that she wanted to visit her, he naturally agreed without mentioning it.

Since he was a young man who admired Guangdong Qiu, He Liuye ordered people to decorate a garden and booked afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong in advance. Secretary Jin was secretly surprised: Who is Xiao Lingmei? How could Master Liu be so attentive?

Xie Genbao, when Lingmei came with Xiao Jin, saw the dreamlike beauty of the flowers in the garden, he couldn't help but linger over it.

He Guhong, who was standing in front of the balcony on the second floor observing them, his eyes gradually darkened.

He couldn't tell whether it was the presence of a beautiful girl that turned the garden into a fairyland on earth, or whether it was his garden that made people look like fairies. His eyes flickered, causing Mei's figure and face to change, turning into a woman wearing a lace dress.

, a beautiful and lively girl - Guangdong Qiu...

Infinite love surged in Mr. He Liu's heart.

"Sixth Master, Sixth Master?" Secretary Jin called him from the side, "The guests have arrived."

Liu Ye put back his chaotic thoughts and sighed slightly.

"Go down."

"Master Six is ​​here." Xie Genbao hurriedly took a step to greet him, "I take the liberty of disturbing Master Six. Lingmei, this is Master He Liu, who is famous in Guangdong and Guangdong."

Lingmei said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Lingmei would like to thank Mr. Liu for taking care of the store. Without your help, our store would not be able to open in Guangzhou."

He Guhong smiled and wanted to ask her about Yue Qiu's current situation, but thinking of Yue Qiu's instructions, he could only put his concern for his old friend back in his heart.

"I didn't expect Miss Xiao to be so young and capable. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead." He greeted Mei Mo to be cautious, "Come, drink tea and have some snacks." He glanced at the kitten in her arms, smiled slightly, and ordered

The butler got another beautiful small bowl for Xiao Jin to use.

Xiao Jin was very satisfied with this.

Lingmei saw that there was an exquisite strawberry cake among the desserts on the table. She couldn't help but think of Aunt Tan and said with a smile: "Are there any strawberries at this time of year?"

When He Guhong saw that she had chosen strawberry cake, and even his preferences were the same as those of Guangdong Qiu, he felt softer. Seeing her frowning slightly, he couldn't help but ask: "Why, it's not delicious?"

Lingmei smiled: "It tastes good. It's just not as good as the strawberry cake made by an elder friend of mine."

She can actually eat the strawberry cake made by Yue Qiu herself?!

He Guhong was envious in his life.

Ling Mei changed the subject: "This time I'm visiting Mr. Six, I couldn't prepare any good gifts in a hurry. Please don't dislike it."

With that said, Xie Genbao handed over a picture frame covered with red silk.
