SIAS Chapter 77.1

After that, Yi Qingqing began to check the two new skills that she had obtained by signing in today.

[Sewing Skill Teaching Course] 

[Hua Chanzhi (Level 2 – 92%) (Enter)] 

[Incense Making Skill Teaching Course] 

[Bai Huaishu (Level 5 – 99%) (Enter)]

The names of the teachers of these two skill teaching courses were both very nice.

Then, Yi Qingqing chose the advanced sewing skills teaching course.

Inside was a small blue brick and tile house. The room was not big, but the windows were bright and clean, and there was a small courtyard outside the house.

Judging from the style of the blue bricks, it should be the small courtyard where she signed in for the sewing skill.

There was also a sewing machine in the room that was a bit old but well-preserved and carefully covered with coarse cloth.

A white-haired old woman was sitting on the kang, making insoles with a cloth basket at hand.

“You are here. I am your teacher for the sewing skills course. You can call me Granny Hua. I learned my sewing skills from my mother. I am not as good as hers in many ways, but my tailoring and sewing skills are still among the best. I can only make comfortable and practical clothes. That is all I can teach you…”

She listened to Granny Hua introducing the sewing course she taught like she was chatting with her family. In short, she only knew the most basic and practical sewing skills.

When making clothes, shoes, and socks, she only pursued comfort and practicality and didn’t know much about aesthetics. She learned the clothing-making skills that ordinary people needed and didn’t know how to embroider or decorate.

But she was also an experienced tailor, and occasionally, regular customers would come to her house with fabrics and ask her to make clothes. Among them, the shoes she made were durable and comfortable, which was a unique feature.

Granny Hua’s skill level was less than Level 3, which made her a bit biased, but it was just right in this era.

Although she liked beautiful clothes, the reality was like this now. Hardship and simplicity were the most respected qualities of this era. It was better in big cities. In the countryside, if one was wearing fancy clothes every day, there would be more gossip and it would be inconvenient to work.

So, everything that Granny Hua could teach her was very practical.

Apart from anything else, once she had learned this skill, she could go to the textile factory to sign a few pieces of fabric and make something for herself, such as the rabbit fur lining of the coat she was preparing to make for herself.

There were more options for sending things home. Making a set of clothes or a pair of shoes for her parents would probably be the best gift.

In addition, once she had learned these basic things, and when the situation became more relaxed in the future and she wanted to make beautiful clothes, she could design them herself, or it was not too late to find similar skills to learn.

Yi Qingqing was very satisfied with this skill.

Then, she continued to watch another skill course: Incense Making.

As soon as she entered the skill-teaching mode, she was attracted by the beauty in a white ink-wash cheongsam sitting under a big tree full of locust flowers.

The yard, the tree, and the person were as beautiful as a painting, although, of course, she had to ignore the unpainted coffins piled up in the corridor, and the paper figurines and gold ingots in the shop in front.

The beauty sat in front of a long wooden table, grinding the incense powder carefully. Her posture was upright, and the rustling sound made people calm down.
