Shen Xiu's embroidery work has always been done very quickly.
Judging from her appearance, she is only fourteen years old. Even if she started learning embroidery at the age of five, she still only has ten years of experience.
But her soul is that of an embroidery master who is nearly thirty years old. She started learning embroidery when she was ten years old and now has nearly twenty years of experience.
Since she started her apprenticeship in her twenties, she later opened her own embroidery shop and has done countless embroidery jobs.
The pace of life in later generations is so fast. After placing an order, many customers can't wait to see the finished product in two or three days.
In order to pursue speed, Shen Xiu could only speed up her embroidery while ensuring quality.
It's just that for some large-scale embroidery, if she speeds up the work, no matter how careful she is, the quality will still decline.
Later, Shen Xiu gained experience. Large-scale embroidery must be done carefully, while small-scale embroidery can be done quickly.
Over time, Shen Xiu also developed a unique skill. She could produce a small piece of embroidery in just an hour.
However, this unique skill requires too much eye and brain power, so Shen Xiu rarely used it at ordinary times. She only did it accidentally when there was too much embroidery work to handle.
Now competing with Lin Ye in embroidery skills, Shen Xiu used this embroidery technique, with the purpose of stimulating the other party and making the other party's mind and hands and feet become confused at the same time.
Sure enough, when Lin Ye discovered that Shen Xiu had finished the embroidery work, he couldn't help but be shocked. He had only completed two-thirds of his embroidery work, and the other party had already completed the embroidery work.
Especially when Shen Xiu deliberately brought the newly embroidered rose flower picture to everyone, Lin Ye's ears were filled with other people's praise for Shen Xiu.
From this point of view, the embroidery work done by the other party is not only fast but also good.
Lin Ye felt a little panicked in his heart, but he was able to go from a student worker to a well-known embroiderer. He experienced many storms in the process, and his temperament was naturally calmer than that of ordinary people.
After a short period of panic, he quickly regained his composure, and at the same time knew that Shen Xiu did this just to disturb his mind.
With this thought, he forced himself not to listen to outside business and continued to concentrate on the embroidery work of his men.
Two quarters of an hour later, Lin Ye finally completed his embroidery work.
When he brought the embroidery work in front of everyone, they didn't say anything sarcastic, but the expressions on their faces made Lin Ye extremely embarrassed.
Even if he completed the embroidery work excellently, he was still one step behind Shen Xiu in terms of speed. Even if he won this competition, his victory was very disgraceful and did not achieve the expected effect in his heart.
Lin Ye's face slowly darkened.
He was not stupid. After thinking about the matter clearly, he realized that the other party had plotted against him, but it was also true that his skills were inferior to others.
He could only take a deep breath to calm down faster, and then look at Shen Xiu's embroidery work.
In his opinion, Shen Xiu was a full two-quarters of an hour faster than him, and the embroidery work was definitely not as fine as his. But when his eyes fell on Shen Xiu's embroidery work, the calmness he barely maintained on his face was quickly broken.
Already.
"Is this a faint needle?" Lin Ye looked at Shen Xiu's embroidery work in disbelief. In the small rose flower picture, one of the apricot-yellow roses was actually made of a faint needle.
Shen Xiu had long expected Lin Ye's reaction. In fact, she did it on purpose.
She studied under the most famous Hunan embroidery master, and learned orthodox Hunan embroidery, but at the same time she learned from others' strengths, whether it was Su embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, or Shu embroidery, she had learned some of them all.
After learning that Lin Ye was learning Shu embroidery, Shen Xiu used the most distinctive halo needle of Shu embroidery when doing embroidery.
The halo needle is good at expressing the texture of the embroidered flowers.
The apricot-yellow rose flower embroidered with a halo needle is not only embroidered lifelike to the one painted by Yuan Ziwen, but is also a bit more agile and realistic.
As for the other pink rose, Shen Xiu used authentic Hunan embroidery. When she embroidered this rose, she combined the Hunan embroidery stitching method at that time with the innovative techniques of later generations, and the rose flower embroidered was lifelike.
It is more vivid and vivid than the rose flowers painted by Yuan Ziwen.
When Lin Ye saw the apricot-yellow rose flower, he was already extremely surprised. He used this stun needle very skillfully, not inferior to him at all. When he saw another pink rose flower, Lin Ye was speechless for a long time.
.
He is also an expert. As soon as he saw this pink rose flower, he knew that it was authentic Hunan embroidery.
The reason why he was invited to compete with Bai Xiu Niang was because he was dissatisfied that Su embroidery was ranked higher than Shu embroidery.
In his mind, the embroidery stitching method of Shu embroidery is the most unique among the four famous embroideries, and it should surpass Su embroidery and become the first among the four famous embroideries.
So when he heard that Bai Xiu Niang was a master of Su embroidery, he agreed to the merchant's request without hesitation and came to compete with Bai Xiu Niang.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiu Niang did not accept the challenge, but it was a yellow-haired girl who did. And the yellow-haired girl did not use Su embroidery, but Hunan embroidery.
The ranking of Hunan embroidery is still lower than Su embroidery.
Lin Ye didn't think so at first. What he was best at was the fainting needle technique in Shu embroidery. He thought he could convince Shen Xiu to lose with this fainting needle technique, but he didn't expect that Shen Xiu, a yellow-haired girl, could actually faint.
And her embroidery skills are no worse than his.
Lin Ye didn't want to admit this fact, but when the fact was before his eyes, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
But the truth was worse than he thought. Not only was Shen Xiu very skilled in using the needle, but she also used Hunan embroidery skills to perfection.
The pink rose flower in front of me is not only lifelike but also extremely vivid. If I hadn't known that it was embroidered by Shen Xiu, I would have thought it was painted on it.
No, not even the best painter can paint a rose flower so realistically, it almost seems to have come alive.
Lin Ye looked at it again and again, and found that the reason why this rose flower is so vivid is because the part of the flower is slightly raised. When the sun shines over it, the rose flower seems to come alive.
What technique is this?
Lin Ye was surprised and at the same time couldn't help but be extremely curious.
But he knew that this was a secret that was not shared among others, and even if he asked, he would be met with disappointment and simply say nothing.
Shopkeeper Zhou could see clearly from the side and saw Lin Ye's expression changing from surprised to convinced and then calm. Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but smile when he saw this. Even if Lin Ye didn't say anything, he knew about this game.
Who won.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen whom Yu Shuya recommended to him was really a master.
When Shopkeeper Zhou saw Bai Xiu Niang's face looking very strange when she heard the content of the competition, he knew that she had no confidence in winning this round. He originally thought they were destined to lose, but he didn't expect that Yu Shuya recommended a candidate to him.
Shopkeeper Zhou had the idea of giving it a try at the time, but the result couldn't be any worse anyway. Who would have thought that Shen Xiu gave him such a big surprise. Not only did he memorize the picture of the rose in just half an incense stick, but he also
Finished the embroidery faster than Lin Ye.
He placed the two pieces of embroidery embroidered by Shen Xiu and Lin Ye in front of everyone one by one, "Everyone, please take a look, the two pieces of embroidery are already here."
Yuan Ziwen and Wei Yan were sitting at the back. When shopkeeper Zhou brought the embroidery, Yuan Ziwen couldn't wait to take a few steps forward.
The rose flower picture was painted by him. Shopkeeper Zhou saw him approaching and asked his opinion first.
"Master Yuan, in your opinion, which of the two embroideries in front of you is closer to your painting?"
