Chapter 248 Surprise
Chapter 248 Surprise
After lunch, Guan Youshuang yawned.
The first batch of goods from the county carpet factory has been delivered. This week, she has been busy providing pre-job training to the workers and has been severely sleep deprived.
The plan for this batch of goods is to embroider three-dimensional peonies of 50X50 cm in size, and the delivery time is the 20th of next month.
She has been staying up late these past few nights to design patterns.
Early this morning, she called Yang Yan. She originally wanted to ask when it would be convenient for her to take the drawings to the county town and let Yang Yan review them. Unexpectedly, he told her to just check them and he trusted her.
Moved, Guan Youshuang carefully revised the drawing again, then printed the patterns on the carpet in the morning and officially started working on it.
The workers had a good foundation, but they had never embroidered on a carpet before. They felt they were not used to holding the needle or the thread, and their needle movement was extremely slow.
This batch of goods is not large, only 100 pieces, but they are all squares with a side length of 2 meters, which is equivalent to embroidering four peonies on one carpet.
At this efficiency, it is estimated that it will take two months to deliver the goods.
Yang Yan was also straightforward. She knew that it was not easy for them to do pure hand-embroidery, so she charged 120 yuan for each carpet.
It can be said to be very kind.
Guan Youshuang was a little anxious.
If something went wrong with the first batch of goods, she would be embarrassed to accept it even if Yang Yan continued to be willing to cooperate with her later.
She has been thinking about how to improve the situation.
She drank a cup of tea to clear her mind.
"Youshuang, someone is looking for you outside." Wang Huiying lifted the door curtain and said.
"Who?"
"I don't know him either. He's at the door. Go check it out."
Guan Youshuang walked out and took a look, and was very surprised.
It turned out to be Director Li of the County Education Bureau and his sister, with a car parked next to them.
The old lady was still the same as before, with a haggard face and a head full of white hair, but her hair was combed neatly.
"Auntie, Director Li, it's you, come in quickly."
Li Hanmei smiled and said, "No, I want to visit your factory."
"well."
The three of them walked towards the embroidery factory.
Director Li said, "I finally managed to persuade someone to come to you."
"Thank you, Director Li."
"It's okay. You have made contributions to the education industry. It is only right that I should help you."
As soon as he entered the embroidery factory, Director Li praised Guan Youshuang repeatedly and praised her for her ability.
At noon, everyone went back to eat.
There is no one in the workshop.
Li Hanmei walked straight to a workstation, touched a carpet with several stitches embroidered on it, and said, "This material is too hard."
"Yes, everyone says it's hard to embroider, and I'm worried that I won't be able to deliver the goods next month. Auntie, do you have any good ideas?"
"This kind of carpet material needs to be pre-treated before embroidery to make the material as soft as possible so that it is easier to embroider," said Li Hanmei.
Guan Youshuang didn't expect this.
It seems that there is a lot to learn about embroidery.
She asked hurriedly: "How to deal with it?"
"You can use water, but the best way is to iron it."
"Okay, I'll go home and get the iron."
Guan Youshuang was so excited that she ran home and got the iron.
Li Hanmei demonstrated it to her, and Guan Youshuang touched it, and it was true. That part of the carpet became soft all of a sudden. She picked up the needle and tried it, and it was indeed much easier to insert than before.
"Also, for this material, thick cotton thread can indeed be used, but wool thread will produce better results." Li Hanmei pointed to the cotton thread on the pointer.
She had bought the wool yarn last time, and Guan Youshuang quickly took out a handful of wool yarn.
Li Hanmei's needlework was steady, and she embroidered a flower bud in just a few minutes. "Take a look, doesn't it look better if we use wool thread?"
"Yes, yes. Auntie, you are awesome. Thank you for coming to help me."
"You're welcome. Your lover saved me before. You also came to see me last time, but I was in a bad mood at that time, so I didn't agree. By the way, my name is Li Hanmei. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Li."
"Okay. Aunt Li, thanks to you today, otherwise we would not be able to deliver the goods next month."
"How many pieces are there in this batch?"
"There are 100 pieces in total, all of which are 2m in size. My drawing is 50cm in size, which is equivalent to embroidering four flowers on a carpet. The workload is not small."
Li Hanmei nodded, took the drawing and looked at it, and said, "In fact, you can enlarge this pattern a little bit and add some decorations around it, it will look better."
As she spoke, Li Hanmei picked up a pencil and drew the surrounding decorations with just a few strokes. "That's it."
Guan Youshuang was amazed.
This lady is really a genius.
"But I've already made a rubbing of the pattern, and luckily the brushes I bought are all water-soluble, so I'll quickly erase the lines now."
Li Hanmei smiled and said, "Although it feels a bit troublesome now, it will be much faster later. By the way, does the carpet factory require four embroidery flowers?"
"No, they just asked for flowers as the theme, and then they would give the batch of goods a name."
"That's good, let's change it. Help me find some larger papers and I'll help you draw."
"Aunt Li, drink some water first. You haven't even had a rest."
"It's not too late to drink after we finish our work. Let's finish the pattern quickly so that we can embroider it directly when the workers come."
"My sister is like that. She can't sit still." Director Li, who had just taken a walk around the workshop, walked over and said.
Comparing with Guan Youshuang's drawings, Li Hanmei quickly drew a new drawing, and then added new decorative elements around it.
Guan Youshuang quickly wiped all 10 carpets and then printed new patterns on them.
It took only an hour to do so much.
After finishing all these, Guan Youshuang found Gu Errong's brother Gu Ruyi, borrowed Director Li's car, and went to the market to buy 30 irons and 30 power strips.
Half past two in the afternoon.
Everyone entered the workshop one after another, and were stunned when they saw the new patterns.
In just one short afternoon, Guan Youshuang actually designed another pattern.
Amazing.
Guan Youshuang introduced everyone: "This is Teacher Li, an expert in embroidery. She also designed the new drawings for us. She will work with us in the future. If you have any questions, you can ask Teacher Li for advice."
Everyone applauded.
There were a few women who probably knew Li Hanmei and knew her situation, and they were whispering below.
Guan Youshuang didn't like such people. She cleared her throat and said, "The new pattern has been printed. There is an iron at everyone's workstation and a power strip. Please iron the carpet before embroidering to make it softer. This will make it easier to embroider."
"In order to prevent the fabric from being damaged, you need to sprinkle some water before ironing," Li Hanmei added.
Everyone started to take action.
At this time, Huang Chunyan walked in panting.
