Chapter 90 Fabric: "A petty person's behavior will bring bad luck."...
Longevity peach?
Su Yi'ang exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be a longevity peach?! It's not like I've never seen a longevity peach before!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he met Ye Hantao's almond-shaped eyes, which were staring straight at him.
"..."
The others, a step behind, also got a clear look at the semi-finished products in front of the scaffolding.
Ren Lang gave Ye Hantao a serious look, and a rare thought arose in his mind that was unrelated to the target he was supposed to be with.
Ye Hantao's talent in embroidery is probably less than 5 talent points.
Su Yi'ang opened his mouth, then quickly added, "Tao Tao, the one you embroidered is the real longevity peach!"
After adding that, he continued babbling on, "None of the fake peaches I've ever seen are as long-lived and peachy as this!"
Ye Hantao was dumbfounded.
How could he be even more sharp-tongued than Cheng Zhao!
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.]
[Such a long life and such a peach-like appearance? Flash, are you sure you're praising Ye Hantao?]
To be honest, if Flash and Lao Chen hadn't led me astray, I could have seen some resemblance to the longevity peach design.
[But I can't go back to the sweet potatoes I ate, hahaha.]
[I thought it was Ye Hantao embroidering lotus flowers (laughs while covering mouth.jpg)]
Cheng Zhao, on the other hand, half-squatted down, supporting himself on his knees.
He looked at Ye Hantao's longevity peach painting for a few seconds, seemingly very seriously.
Ye Hantao pushed him away, muttering, "Stop looking, I haven't finished embroidering yet."
He thought he had used a considerable amount of force to push the person, but to his surprise, Cheng Zhao, even while half-squatting, was as immovable as a mountain.
He tilted his head to look over, his azure eyes reflecting Ye Hantao's figure.
Cheng Zhao: "How much is this 'Longevity Peach' painting?"
"???"
"My grandfather's birthday is coming up soon, and I want to buy it as a gift for him."
Ye Hantao paused for a second, then blurted out, "Your biological grandfather?"
Cheng Zhao: "..."
Others: "..."
[Hahahaha!!! I didn't laugh when I heard about the sweet potato being eaten, but I heard my own grandfather laugh out loud.]
Cheng Zhao's face went blank for a second.
[TaoTao: Are you celebrating a birthday or just trying to annoy me?]
Grandpa: You little brat!
So what! The thought is what counts! Who says longevity peaches have to look a certain way?
【Maze, are you using a secondary account?】
Chen Xiaofeng plopped down on the ground, clutching his stomach and laughing heartily, "Hahahahahahahahahahaha, you gave it to him! The old man will definitely be happy!"
He said that you have to be outgoing and fun-loving to be on variety shows.
If this person were Ren Lang instead of Tao Tao, there wouldn't be any fun to be had, hahaha.
Of course, he wouldn't mention that Grandpa Cheng Zhao had just celebrated his 70th birthday in July.
Jin Shiyue found him annoying and lightly tapped his leg with the tip of her shoe, signaling him to tone it down.
Immediately, Jin Shiyue said without changing his expression, "This peach is quite unique; you can see the ingenuity in Tao Tao's design."
He Qiang pointed to a patch of white in a sea of pink and said, "Tao Tao added highlights to it to emphasize the light and shadow."
Ye Hantao covered her face with her hands, her ears turning red with embarrassment. "Senior sister, those are dewdrops."
The cameraman suppressed a laugh and pointed the lens at the longevity peach embroidered by Ye Hantao again.
He Qiang remained silent for a moment.
Jin Shiyue muttered under her breath, "You still can't speak properly."
He Qiang, unusually, did not refute.
Su Jin didn't forget her compliment, "Embroidery is about capturing the spirit rather than the form. Tao Tao's work has a good imagery and design, but it lacks skill."
Is this boss trying to get something from Ye Hantao?
[Perhaps it's because Bai Qingzhu added Ye Hantao's contact information?]
Don't think of the boss as so materialistic! If a world-class abstract painter had painted a peach like this, I bet a ton of people would be rushing to analyze it.
[Hahahaha, be careful, one day Ye Hantao might reveal which of her relatives is a famous painter.]
[You never know! Last week, which program interviewed Master Jie Feihuai? Didn't he say that he offered low-priced hobby classes at the request of a friend?]
In less than an hour, everyone had completed their respective experiential learning projects.
Ye Hantao had just finished folding the longevity peaches when she saw Cheng Zhao strolling over and asked her, "Really not for sale?"
Ye Hantao decisively said, "I won't sell it. I want to take it home and keep it as a collectible!"
Her main concern was that Cheng Zhaozhen would actually give that incongruous longevity peach painting to Old Master Cheng.
Ye Hantao changed the subject, asking, "Where's your finished product?"
"Look." Cheng Zhao spread the artwork out in his palm so Ye Hantao could see it.
Ye Hantao lowered her head and couldn't recognize what he had embroidered at first glance.
Until she caught a glimpse of the zodiac pendant on his wrist, she exclaimed in a flash, "Scorpio?"
Cheng Zhao nodded in response, and then added, "I checked before I left, and today's luckiest zodiac sign is Scorpio."
Upon hearing this, Su Yi'ang asked curiously, "What about the unlucky zodiac signs?"
Cheng Zhao pulled out his phone to search, without looking up, "Pisces".
Su Yi'ang turned around casually, "Brother Ren, are you a Pisces?"
Ren Lang forced a smile, "I'm a marksman."
Hmm.
Ye Hantao never expected that she and Ren Lang shared the same zodiac sign.
"I'm a Leo!" Su Yi'ang said excitedly, then belatedly noticed the Capricorn pendant on Cheng Zhao's wrist. "Hey? Cheng Zhao, when did you start wearing that bracelet?"
Chen Xiaofeng moved with lightning speed, heading downstairs first.
From afar, he could still hear Cheng Zhao's familiar boasting, "I just received this gift at noon, and I really like it so I want to wear it. Did anyone give you a Leo pendant?"
Su Yi'ang scratched his head.
Why did his cheeks suddenly feel sore?
During the chat, Su Jin led the group to the fabric area on the first floor.
Today, in addition to spreading intangible cultural heritage such as Shu embroidery to the audience through embroidery classes, they can also receive gifts.
The production team reimbursed the cost of custom-made cheongsams for Ye Hantao, Gu Fanghao, Jin Shiyue, and He Qiang at Huayun Workshop.
Huayun Workshop does not make clothes for men; the gifts given to Cheng Zhao and others were purses.
Su Jin and her staff helped them collect body measurements such as shoulder width and bust size, and then brought previously prepared design sketches for them to choose from.
While Jin Shiyue and He Qiang were selecting design sketches and offering their opinions, Ye Hantao and Gu Fanghao had already quickly finished choosing and were selecting the fabric for making the cheongsam.
Su Jin looked at the group of people waiting not far away and said modestly with a smile, "Lorenzo, I welcome any suggestions you may have."
Lorenzo, also known as Ren Lang, concealed the momentary panic in his heart and smiled with a gentlemanly and elegant smile, "You are the expert in cheongsam making, so I won't presume to teach you."
He wouldn't mind giving guidance when he still had enough talent points, but now that he can't even distinguish the types of fabrics, it would only make him a laughing stock if he tried to speak up.
Ye Hantao found it strange that he didn't take the opportunity to show off his erudition in front of Fang Hao.
Just then, Su Jin brought over a batch of fabric. "Han Tao, what do you think of this fabric?"
With the apricot-colored fabric draped over her body, Ye Hantao looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, and couldn't help but marvel at how amazing Boss Su was, picking out her favorite color so quickly.
Ye Hantao gently touched the fabric.
Smooth and slightly cool, it must feel very comfortable to wear next to the skin in the middle of summer.
Su Jin wasn't sure if the master embroiderer who made Ye Hantao's dress watched the live stream, so she simply promoted the workshop's advantages through the live stream.
Even when they're working, the embroiderers in the workshop prefer to embroider on high-quality fabrics, and Huayun has no shortage of those precious materials.
"This is a mulberry silk blend satin, which is softer and cooler than pure mulberry silk," Su Jin explained. "We specially commissioned this one from Suzhou Workshop. They only provide ten bolts a month, so it's very hard to find on the market."
Cheng Zhao noticed Ye Hantao's upturned lips, and then focused on the texture and color of the fabric that Su Jin had brought.
As for what is hard to buy on the market.
His family's group owns clothing brands, and specialists are dedicated to making products such as camel wool, brocade, red deer wool, and lotus silk.
Ye Hantao: "What's the price?"
Su Jin: "200 yuan per meter."
Ye Hantao cleared her throat and asked, "Is there anything more expensive than this?"
Upon hearing this, Su Jin was slightly taken aback.
It would be normal for Ye Hantao to ask about other materials in terms of feel and color, but she blatantly asked about expensive ones in front of the camera?
Su Jin suppressed her surprise and brought over a piece of dark green fabric.
Only after the fabric was shaken open did Ye Hantao see the oil painting on it in the mirror.
Su Jin: "This is hand-painted Xiangyun yarn, known as the soft gold of fabrics. Our workshop even commissioned Master Marcel to hand-paint this piece, making it the only one of its kind in the world."
To her surprise, Su Jin overheard a slightly surprised mutter, "This fabric feels so familiar."
The more Ye Hantao touched it, the more she felt that it resembled the dress she was wearing.
Aside from the different colors.
Su Jin was surprised that Ye Hantao was unfamiliar with the fabric of her dress.
Upon further reflection, she realized that she had only confirmed the dress was indeed made of Xiangyun yarn after touching it herself, but the light color was achieved through a complex process.
The bolt of yarn she brought costs 480 yuan per meter, so the mint-colored Xiangyun yarn used for this dress could cost as much as 1,000 yuan per meter.
What's the price?
"...One meter is 480 yuan."
As Ye Hantao touched it, she asked, "Is there anything more expensive than this?"
To Su Jin, this meant that Ye Hantao had already used the superior Xiangyun yarn and wanted to see other rare fabrics.
Rarity equals high price.
She quickly replied, "Yes, I'll go get it."
Even though the production team is reimbursing the expenses, is this level of exploitation really necessary?
I can understand Ye Hantao being dissatisfied with the colors like Jin Shiyue was, but now it seems that price is more important than color and fabric?
How greedy!
[Where is the greed in this? Is it possible that Ye Hantao's dress was made of better fabric?]
[You all spoil Ye Hantao, but whether she wants to pick out the fabric or just get a bargain, Ye Hantao knows perfectly well~]
Ren Lang smiled and said, "I didn't expect Tao Tao to be such a rich girl? She even buys expensive custom-made cheongsams."
Gu Fanghao's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this. "Wasn't the production team supposed to reimburse you?"
She can't afford it!
"Sorry, I forgot. It was indeed the production team that reimbursed it." Ren Lang said as if reminded by Gu Fanghao, and then teased with a smile, "So, Tao Tao, you want the production team to bleed money?"
Cheng Zhao sneered, about to speak, when he suddenly saw Ye Hantao's eyes light up, as if she couldn't wait.
Ye Hantao was just waiting for Ren Lang to point it out.
"Yes, I don't care about things that aren't expensive."
[Disease progression: 23%]
Upon hearing about the improvement in her condition, Ye Hantao couldn't help but laugh.
However, another electronic voice rang in my ears.
[Current gratitude level: 8%]
Ye Hantao: "!!!"
Ren Lang: "!!!"
Ye Hantao originally wanted to turn her head to look at Gu Fanghao, but when she noticed that Ren Lang had already looked over, she barely managed to hold back her movement.
Gu Fanghao's voice came from the side, "The fabric of Tao Tao's dress is obviously very good. Once she gets used to wearing this kind of fabric, she will definitely not be used to wearing other fabrics."
These words were directed at Ren Lang.
Gu Fanghao didn't think he was clever enough to outwit everyone.
But she's not stupid. Ren Lang's words just now were an explicit and implicit implication that Tao Tao deliberately chose the expensive items to take advantage of the production team.
Ye Hantao also understood what Ren Lang meant.
To be precise, this was Ye Hantao's purpose.
After undergoing the procedure to remove the stones, she suddenly realized that the slowing of her condition could allow Ren Lang to "cooperate."
I just didn't expect that Gu Fanghao would lose gratitude points because of this.
This is truly an unexpected delight.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Ye Hantao's heart swelled with joy.
As for Fang Hao's comment about being used to wearing high-quality fabrics, she felt that Fang Hao was just saying that to protect her.
A dress that costs 200 yuan is most likely made of a fabric that is not as good as Xiangyun yarn.
only--
Ye Hantao touched the Xiangyun yarn that Su Jin had brought over again, and then touched her own skirt.
The feel and texture are indeed very similar.
Ren Lang stared in Gu Fanghao's direction, his eyes bloodshot.
What an ingrate!
He even had an impulse to spend his last 10 talent points to re-bind Ye Hantao.
Why should he suffer misfortune repeatedly because of Ye Hantao? He wants to make Ye Hantao experience the taste of misfortune firsthand!
"Clap clap clap".
A sudden burst of applause rang out.
When Cheng Zhao saw everyone looking at him, he shrugged and said, "I'm suddenly feeling quite emotional."
Chen Xiaofeng chimed in, "What are you reminiscing about?"
Cheng Zhao smiled slightly and said, "A petty person's pretense will only bring bad luck."
