Shu embroidery

"It looks good, but the connection between the second layer and the third layer is a bit unnatural. When turning the needle, you must control the strength and uniformity, and pay special attention to the sense of direction of the grain."

"Yes..." Shen Chuqing had been struggling with this issue for a long time, and had been trying to find a way to deal with this lack of connection. After she mentioned it, she immediately became enlightened.

"Take a break first, and let's continue after 10 minutes. Embroidery seems to be effortless on the surface, but in fact it takes a lot of brains, thoughts, and eyes. It must be a combination of work and rest."

Like most teachers, Mr. Qunfang still hoped to see the students work harder, so his tone became a little gentler at this moment.

Shen Chuqing nodded and said yes, Mr. Qunfang looked at her submissive expression, and once again felt a little blocked in his heart, he was not a poisonous snake or beast, so why put on a cautious look all day long?
Thinking of teasing her at lunch again, I felt a little more at ease. After all, it is still a lot of fun to lead an honest student.

"Come out with me, and I'll take you somewhere."

After she finished speaking, she left the embroidery room straight away, and Shen Chuqing hurriedly chased after her with small steps.

I saw her go out, then turned around and opened the door next door. When the door was opened, several shelves were neatly placed inside. On the shelves, large round dustpans made of bamboo were placed neatly. on top.

Among the green mulberry leaves, crystal clear silkworms are eating leisurely, making a rustling sound that sounds particularly pleasant and pleasant.

Mr. Qunfang walked to the innermost shelf, carefully cleaned out the remaining mulberry leaf stems in the dustpan, and then grabbed a handful of fresh mulberry leaves from the opposite side and threw them in evenly.

I saw that she was skillful, and changed all the mulberry leaves on the shelf in a short while, and her eyes were gently looking at the silkworms in the dustpan.

Shen Chuqing stood quietly behind her, wanting to help but afraid that she might not do it right, so she could only quietly observe Mr. Qunfang's movements, wanting to learn a thing or two.

"Have you ever raised silkworms at home?" Mr. Qunfang suddenly turned to look at her and asked.

"I did. I remember I did it when I was very young. Later, my dad said that raising silkworms is a delicate job and you can't earn much money, so I didn't continue to raise silkworms."

"Can't you make money?" Mr. Qunfang asked with some doubts, but he didn't continue to dwell on the problem, but pointed to the shelf next to him: "The leaves over there should also be changed, go over and change them." drop it!"

Shen Chuqing hurried over, imitating Mr. Qunfang, first squatted down and pulled the bottom layer of dustpan halfway out from the top of the shelf.

Clean up the residual leaves inside, and replace them with clean and fresh mulberry leaves, and then start to organize layer by layer.

There is not much technical content, and it only took a few minutes to replace all the dustpans on the entire shelf.

But the mulberry leaves in the basket were almost used up. On the top layer, there were only five or six mulberry leaves left. As soon as I put them in, I saw silkworm babies surrounding me, probably because the number was relatively small. , watching the mulberry leaves disappear at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye.

"Come on, I'll take you out to pick mulberry leaves." After Mr. Qunfang finished speaking, he picked up the big vacant basket and was about to go outside.

Shen Chuqing hurried over, took the pan and carried it on her back, followed her out, and walked outside to the mulberry forest.

After not walking far, Mr. Qunfang stopped, pointed to a mulberry forest around him and said, "In the future, when you go out to pick mulberry leaves, you can only pick trees within ten meters from our house, and within this pebble. The other mulberry trees are all contracted to the nearby silkworm farmers.”

From the first time Shen Chuqing came to Qunfang Garden, she was amazed that the mulberry trees grew very well, and even weeds were rarely seen in the forest. It can be seen how meticulous the people who take care of this mulberry forest are.

"This tree is not bad. The leaves in the middle are between the old leaves and the young leaves. They are most suitable for the silkworms in our family to eat at this stage."

After Mr. Qunfang finished speaking, he reached out and dragged down a branch, and quickly picked the leaves in the middle.

Seeing this, Shen Chuqing quickly followed her example and picked up the mulberry leaves. The artificially planted mulberry tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, and the trunk is not high, so it is very easy to pick. In a short while, a basket full of them was picked .

"Enough is enough. I only raised one silkworm. They are all picked and fed fresh, so freshness must be ensured."

Mr. Qunfang stopped what he was doing, and Shen Chuqing quickly put the pannier on her back, and followed her back to the house.

After Mr. Qunfang took her to wash the mulberry leaves, they put them on the bamboo curtain to dry before they returned to the embroidery room.

Shen Chuqing checked the time, and it was exactly 28:[-].

"Come here first and watch me embroider. The stitch I'm going to embroider next is called cross stitch."

After Mr. Qunfang finished speaking, he went back to sit behind the stretcher, cut off the remaining thread on the needle, and replaced it with silk thread of the next color needed.

Looking up, Shen Chuqing, who was staring at the embroidery surface concentrating on it, said, "Cross-rotating needle refers to the embroidery needle that constantly changes the crossing lines according to the direction of the arc after each set of crossing lines is punctured. kind of.

This stitch method is mainly used to express the circular shape and the embroidered objects with a certain curvature change, especially suitable for the tiger roaring Nanshan you are embroidering now. It is better than the halo stitch method for the presentation of the layered sense of its fur. good. "

"Student remember it!" Shen Chuqing replied, and went back to her room at noon. She already knew about this acupuncture method, but now that the teacher explained it, she became more clear.

"Look carefully, I only give you 5 minutes." After Mr. Qunfang finished speaking, the needle and thread in his hand started to dance on the bottom material.

Shen Chuqing opened her eyes wide, staring at the movements of her hands with all her attention, for fear of missing any details.

When all the arc-shaped lines appeared, the needle in Qunfang's hand changed again.

Shen Chuqing secretly glanced at the time on her wrist, and the time for Mr. Qunfang to rotate the cross needle was exactly controlled within 5 minutes.

When the time came, regardless of whether Shen Chuqing watched it or not, after quickly changing the thread, she began to embroider other things on her own.

Seeing this, Shen Chuqing naturally didn't dare to continue standing there to disturb her, quietly returned to her seat, picked up the needle and thread and was about to start, but looking at the clean and tidy embroidery surface, she was afraid of making mistakes.
