Shu embroidery

Zhou Xu couldn't bear to disturb her even seeing the slogans posted on the side of the road. After seeing that the time was still early, he quietly slowed down so that she could see all the slogans on both sides of the road clearly.

Since entering Anjing Township, what catches the eye is the endless mulberry fields and various picture advertisements promoting the embroidery township.

After entering the township, you can see that there are many hand-embroidered shops on the streets lined with shops, and the shop owner directly set up a large stretcher in the shop to perform on-site skills for tourists who come to buy souvenirs Performance.

Shen Chuqing looked at the gradually bustling streets and alleys, with various shops attracting visitors from all over the world. This is definitely the most prosperous small town I have ever seen.

The eyes kept staring out of the car window, and after driving for about five or six minutes, the car stopped in front of a quaint mansion.

Although the house looks a little old, the overall layout is very simple and elegant. The wooden brick and tile structure, through the tall facing door, you can also see the pavilions and corridors in the yard, which has the feeling of a wealthy family in ancient times.

Get out of the car, if you want to enter the house, you have to go through the high stone steps in front of you, the majestic and simple chaomen, above the gate tower, there are four characters Jing'an Embroidery House engraved in a flying style.

The door was deserted, and it didn't look like a competition was about to be held at all. Shen Chuqing looked at Zhou Xu suspiciously: "Did we find the wrong place?"

"No, the venue for the competition is here. I came here once before. Although the Chaomen is on this side, the main entrance of the Embroidery Hall is on the other side. It's just that it's not easy to park there, so I drove here. Yes." After Zhou Xu finished speaking, he led her to the stone steps.

"No wonder, this place looks so remote. It's the first time I've seen such a well-preserved court door. I didn't expect it to become a back door."

As soon as the word "back door" was mentioned, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Shen Chuqing's face. Ever since she worshiped under the teacher's door, she seemed to be walking through the back door all the way.

"The main reason is that it's near the main street, so it's convenient for people who haven't been here to find it. It's relatively early now, so let's find a place for lunch first." Zhou Xu didn't intend to go in now, but said.

"But I want to go in and have a look first?" Whether it was out of curiosity, or because she wanted to know more about the venue for the upcoming competition, Shen Chuqing wanted to familiarize herself with the venue first.

Zhou Xu checked the time and nodded when he felt it was still too late, leading her up the stone steps and heading towards the door.

But before he took two steps inside, he was stopped by an old man in a security uniform: "You two, the venue is being arranged inside, and we will welcome distinguished guests in the afternoon, and tourists will not be accepted for the time being."

"Hi, uncle! I'm not a tourist. I'm an embroiderer who will participate in the competition this afternoon. I want to come and see our competition in advance. Can you accommodate me..."

"That's even worse, you are a contestant, and you must not enter before the arena is officially open.

Wait until two o'clock in the afternoon and enter the venue directly to participate in the competition. After the competition is over, you can visit as you want. "

Uncle Security refused mercilessly.

Shen Chuqing looked at the busy staff inside, and knew that she should avoid suspicion. She nodded sullenly, thanked the security guy, and was about to turn around and leave when she heard a familiar voice calling her. name.

"Sister Shen, you're here too!"

As soon as Shen Chuqing turned her head, she saw Yang Qi and Double Needle Tang Zheng walking towards her.

"Master Tang is good! Sister Yang is good!"

Shen Chuqing greeted him politely, Zhou Xu also smiled and nodded at Shuangzhen Tang.

"Why did you come here at this hour? You haven't had lunch yet! I'll ask Xiaoqi to take you to the dining hall." Shuangzhen Tang said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Master Tang! But the security guard said just now that the embroidery shop is busy setting up, it's better for us to go out for dinner, so we won't disturb your work." Shen Chuqing quickly replied.

"That's okay, Uncle Li, they are not outsiders, and they won't affect our work.

"Double Needle Tang said to Uncle Security.

In fact, there is no rigid rule that the contestants cannot know the situation of the arena in advance. The reason why the security guards came to stop them was mainly because they did not know Shen Chuqing and Zhou Xu, and they were worried that they were here to cause trouble.

Hearing what Shuangzhen Tang said, he quickly grunted: "You should have said that you knew Master Tang!" He turned and went back to the gate.

"Uncle Li has such a temper, you don't have to take it to heart, go and finish dinner with Xiaoqi first.

After eating, you can ask Xiaoqi to take you to see the exhibition hall of our embroidery hall, although it is not as good as the embroidery exhibited in the Convention and Exhibition Center.

But it is all the embroiderers in our guild hall who have worked hard, and the embroidery works are rich in our local characteristics in Anjing, and there are many very down-to-earth little things in them, which may be helpful for you to participate in the competition this afternoon.

I still have some things to arrange here, so you are free to move around. As long as you don't enter the stadium in advance, the entire club can be opened to you. "

After Shuangzhen Tang finished speaking, he specifically explained to Yang Qi: "Take good care of your sister Shen."

"Understood, aunt, go and do your work!" Yang Qi gave her a push after she finished speaking.

Double Needle Tang took a few steps forward, then turned to look at them again,
"Thank you, Master Tang." Originally not familiar with Shuangzhen Tang, Shen Chuqing could only say thank you for her careful care.

"No thanks, no thanks," Shuangzhen Tang entered the hall ahead without looking back.

Yang Qi waited for her to go far away, and then said to Shen Chuqing: "Come with me, the dining hall will be serving dinner soon, let's go there first without queuing."

After speaking, she walked in front and led the way, while Shen Chuqing and Zhou Xu followed behind her.

"There's a canteen in the embroidery hall?" Shen Chuqing was very surprised.

Yang Qi said with a smile: "It didn't exist in the past. This year, because there are more people who come to learn embroidery, many of them are from the neighboring villages and towns. In order to allow them to study with peace of mind, the embroidery hall has specially set up a dining hall to solve the problems for everyone. dietary problems."

"Is there no limit to recruiting apprentices in the embroidery shop? People who are not from Jing'an are allowed?"

"Of course! My aunt said that embroidery is one family in the world. Although there are many factions in Shu embroidery, they are all of the same origin. If you want to devote yourself to the development of embroidery business, you must not distinguish between each other.

As long as they are willing to learn, she will open the door for them.

My aunt also said that embroidery will only get better and better if there are more people who are willing to learn embroidery! "When Yang Qi talked about Shuangzhentang, her eyes were still full of pride.
