Chapter 79: The Difficulty of the Phoenix Bridle
The old lady's expression was a little anxious. Manager Wang didn't understand, but she did!

The fact that she dared to make a phoenix peony and sell it clearly shows that she was extremely confident in her craftsmanship.

That was why she came in such a hurry.

"She's not a master, but an old lady from a mountain village. This phoenix bridal cape is the proudest work of her life!" Zhao Shi shook his head.

Speaking of Granny Cui, Zhao Shi still admired her very much.

Granny Cui is not as powerful as Grandpa Bao, but she has unimaginable tenacity. It is a miracle that a poor person from a small county has reached the top level in an industry.

In addition to talent, it also requires hard work.

I'm afraid Granny Cui spent her entire life on embroidery.

This is why Zhao Shi admires him.

Because he can't.

That was also the reason why he made Granny Cui a worshipper. Being a slave was the norm in the other world, and only after becoming a slave would one be trusted by the master. But Zhao Shi felt that it was an insult to a master.

"I didn't expect that there are still pearls left in the mountains!" Master Li nodded and sighed when he heard it.

There is no disbelief.

Because she knew that such a thing could only exist in the mountains.

The mountain village is isolated and poor, but this also makes the people there cherish every craft more. Without various temptations from the outside world, they can concentrate on studying this skill.

For example, in the city, the so-called four famous embroideries, in fact, even now, are still relying on the ancient names, and no one can reach the real peak.

no way.

No one can give up the convenience of modern facilities, even she sometimes has to borrow them.

For example, some drawings can be completely formed on the computer, and then embroidery can be made according to the patterns.

That's right.

Tools are meant to be used by people.

Tools can also speed up human development, greatly shorten the time of learning embroidery, and make ordinary embroiderers more outstanding.

The emergence of a large number of embroiderers has made embroidery products shine and enter the homes of ordinary people.

but!

When their strength reaches a certain level and they want to reach the peak, the convenience brought by the use of these tools in the past becomes a hindrance to their breakthrough.

She is now.

Using modern tools makes these embroidery pieces soulless. If he doesn't use them, his ability in this area has long been degraded after years of use.

Zhao Shi opened the suitcase and took out the phoenix bridal veil.

Just as he was about to unfold the phoenix robe, the old lady hurriedly said, "Don't move!"

Zhao Shi stopped and drove the old lady in confusion.

"The way you unfold it is wrong!" The old lady looked at the phoenix bridal cape in Zhao Shi's hand with an obsessed look on her face.

"I didn't expect that!"

"It surprised me that!"

"I, Li Qiulan, will never be able to see such a masterpiece in my lifetime!"

The old lady murmured while holding the phoenix bridal robe in her hands.

She can tell the quality of something at a glance. This is a top-notch embroidery work, a masterpiece. In the two thousand years of embroidery heritage, only a few people can achieve such skills.

I didn't expect that there are still people who have such skills nowadays.

She could tell that this phoenix bridal cape was only about twenty years old, and it was probably the only exquisite piece made by modern people.

Anyone who can make such embroidery is a master in their field. A true master of embroidery.

Although the phoenix bridal cape had not actually been unfolded, she was extremely certain that it was a modern piece of embroidered Chinese treasure.

"Xiao Wang, notify them!"

“It is our honor to see such a masterpiece made by someone in modern times!”

The old lady didn't even raise her head and said something to Manager Wang next to her.

Where is Manager Wang?

She stared in amazement at the phoenix shawl in the old lady's hand. Although her embroidery skills were not good, her appreciation ability was still very strong. She could tell at a glance that this thing was extraordinary.

After hearing what the old lady said, he finally reacted and responded, "Oh, oh, I'll notify the masters right away!"

As he spoke, he took out his phone and quickly told Master Li what he had said.

"Grandma Li, Grandma Lin will be here soon!" After hanging up the phone, Manager Wang said to Grandma Li. Then he apologized to Zhao Shi, "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry for being inconsiderate!"

"Manager Wang, there's no need to do this!" Zhao Shi said.

The old lady ignored the two people's words, but gently stroked the phoenix shawl with her hand and said, "There has been a saying about phoenix crown and phoenix shawl since ancient times. The phoenix shawl is embroidered with cloud patterns or phoenix patterns, which can be made by ordinary masters. But the phoenix shawl is different. Few people dare to try it, because it is not embroidered with patterns, but real phoenixes. Even in ancient times, ordinary masters did not even have the qualifications to interfere!"

"Besides, not everyone can wear the phoenix cape. It doesn't matter in modern society, but in ancient times, only the queen, who was the kind of queen with great power, was qualified to wear it only when attending court or performing important sacrifices!"

As the old lady explained, both Zhao Shi and Manager Wang had a flash of enlightenment.

Especially Manager Wang, she actually thought that what Zhao Shi brought was a xiapei, because in many cases, xiapei is also called phoenix pendant.

Unexpectedly, what Zhao Shi brought was a real phoenix bridal cape.

The old lady put the phoenix cape on the tray but did not open it. Instead, she explained to Zhao Shi, "Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment. The other old ladies will be here soon. The phoenix cape is called a phoenix cape because there is a special method to open it. You will know why it is called a phoenix cape when the time comes!"

"That's great, I want to see it too!"

Zhao Shi heard this and nodded.

The old lady smiled when she heard this and continued to teach Zhao Shi and the others some knowledge about embroidery. She could see that Mr. Zhao knew nothing.

"This embroidery should use a lost needlework method, not any of the four major embroidery methods. But, that's right. Xia Country has a brilliant civilization of 5,000 years, and many things have been born during this period. It's not surprising to see a new embroidery method!"

"Not only the embroidery method, but this silk is not from the four major embroidery producing areas in Jiangnan. It should be a kind of silk that is unique to the local area!"

As the old lady spoke, time passed by little by little.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Pedal. Pedal. Pedal.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the door.

Soon, several old ladies with silver hair hurriedly pushed open the door of the office and came in and asked, "Where? Where is the real phoenix bridal cape?"

In an instant, their eyes were fixed on the tray in front of the old lady, their eyes flashing with a brilliance that was not in line with their age. They took a few quick steps and came to the table. They didn't even bother to talk. They reached out and gently stroked the phoenix bridal veil on the tray, their faces full of obsession.

Although it has not been opened, one can tell that this embroidery is extraordinary just by looking at a few phoenix feathers.

"Old Lin, open it. Your unique technique finally comes in handy!" Old Mrs. Li said with a smile to an old man who was wearing glasses, had gray hair, but had an elegant temperament.

It is said that beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Zhao Shi didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the old lady called Lao Lin, he believed it. She was wearing a sky blue cheongsam embroidered with a few light blue flowers.

Even though she is in her seventies or eighties, her back is still straight, and when she looks at the phoenix robe with fascination, the smile on her face is still elegant, making the cheongsam and the old woman complement each other, and there is no disharmony between the two.

One glance is enough to tell that this old lady must have been a great beauty when she was young, and a lady from a noble family.

“I never thought that even at my old age, I would still have the chance to perform Phoenix Dance in the Sky again!”

The elegant old lady Lin smiled and said when she heard this.

"Yes, we never thought that there would be someone who could actually embroider a real phoenix shawl, a top-quality one at that. The last time I saw such a top-quality one was in a museum!"

Mrs. Li was also full of emotion when she heard this.
