Chapter 1239 - 148 Double-sided Embroidery (Second Update)
Naturally, the first to display was Chen Leyao, who ranked first. She slowly unfolded her embroidery piece. In front of the crowd appeared an exquisitely embroidered purple eggplant with a vivid green calyx and a deep purple body. It must be said, the color pairing was exceptionally even; just the transition in the colors of the eggplant flesh involved no fewer than ten different shades of thread.
The onlookers all clicked their tongues in praise, dearly liking it.
However, some couldn’t help but look down on it slightly. Such skill in embroidery was indeed top-notch, but to win first place with just this seemed a bit insufficient to convince everyone.
Just then, Chen Leyao’s red lips slightly curled, her slender fingers flicked, and the embroidery in her hand flipped around. As everyone looked on in amazement, they realized that the eggplant they had just seen seemed a bit different.
As for where it was different, they hadn’t really made it out yet.
Chen Leyao lifted her eyebrows proudly, her finger flicked again, turning the embroidery piece back and forth three times, and finally, someone spotted a clue.
"Look quickly, the two sides of this eggplant are actually the same!"
Indeed they were the same, whether the front or back, this curved purple eggplant was very beautiful, not having the neat front and messy back typical of other people’s embroidery.
Such a piece of embroidery was equivalent to embroidering two eggplants in two hours; indeed, her skill was extraordinary.
