Chapter 44 Chu Zhao: A tiny bit of talent, basic stuff, don't be ridiculous! [Please read on! P
Even the other new recruits noticed that Chu Zhao's quilt seemed to be almost identical to the neatly folded blankets on Ye Pengfei's bedside table...!
Although the quilt is new, it inevitably looks a bit swollen.
However, Chu Zhao's embellishments on the side lines and corners perfectly compensated for this!
No matter which angle you look at it from, the lines of Chu Zhao's quilt are straight, and the corners are tightly joined together, so that the various parts of the quilt are no longer separate individuals, but have become a completely unified whole. It looks perfectly natural and full of the charm of a tofu block!
In a short time.
The new recruits looked at each other, then all turned to look at the nonchalant Chu Zhao, their jaws dropping in astonishment, speechless!
Was he really hospitalized while he was away for the past few days?
Why does it feel like they're going for advanced internal affairs training?
"Bang!"
While the new recruits were still immersed in what had just happened and couldn't come to their senses for a long time...
The dormitory's wooden door was suddenly and forcefully pushed open without warning.
Ye Pengfei returned to his dormitory with a faint smell of smoke lingering in his body.
As soon as he entered the room, Ye Pengfei, like the other new recruits, noticed the blankets on the floor.
"Wow, you're pretty quick! You folded it so fast?"
"What, are you waiting for me to inspect you?"
"Let me see how good your teaching skills are, Li Jiahao..."
The moment my gaze fell upon Chu Zhao's blanket.
Ye Pengfei, like everyone else, unconsciously widened his eyes, his pupils dilated, his mouth opened slightly, and he was dumbfounded!
In Ye Pengfei's mind.
The tofu-shaped blanket on the ground... is no longer just an ordinary military blanket.
Instead, it was a Dongfeng truck moving at full speed, hurtling towards him with the force of thunder!
What is this thing?
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Ye Pengfei looked closely and saw that the tofu-shaped bed that had made him feel so dazed was still sitting perfectly on the ground!
"..."
After confirming that I wasn't seeing things...
Ye Pengfei slowly stepped forward and began to examine the blanket on the ground with increasing seriousness.
His gaze lingered on the lines of the quilt, and after a long while, he suddenly asked a question.
"How did you fix these lines?"
Although Ye Pengfei didn't say it directly, everyone in the dormitory knew exactly who he was asking a question to.
Before he could finish speaking...
Then Chu Zhao suddenly squatted down, stretched out his finger, and gently touched the straight and sharp lines on the surface of the quilt.
next second.
Under Ye Pengfei's increasingly astonished gaze, these lines slowly disappeared under Chu Zhao's touch, leaving only a faint trace on the surface of the military blanket.
The new recruits were confused, only surprised by how short the "shelf life" of Chu Zhao's neatly folded blanket was.
Only Ye Pengfei, the class monitor, saw through the trick!
Ye Pengfei suddenly raised his head and asked Chu Zhao incredulously.
"You're not pinching cotton, are you?"
"Is it a trap?"
"How dare you? Aren't you afraid of twisting the thread and ruining the blanket?"
Just as Ye Pengfei said.
The soul of a military blanket is actually the cotton inside.
The reason why the tofu-like folds made by the military blankets are so distinct is because the cotton inside has been broken and pinched over many years of repeated folding, eventually turning into the shape of tofu blocks.
With just a little trimming, such a quilt can be transformed into a perfectly square, neatly folded blanket.
But breaking the cotton is incredibly difficult. It requires years of experience, and you can't be careless when folding or repairing the quilt. You have to use all your strength and work up a good sweat.
However... there are ways to take shortcuts.
Regardless of the internal structure, when a folded blanket is placed on the bed, what people actually see is the outer cover.
Skipping the cotton and focusing on the duvet cover can also create a neat, angular folded quilt.
For example... stuffing stiff canvas, or even cardboard, into the duvet cover!
Some people even resort to "heretical" methods, pouring hot water on the blankets during housekeeping and hygiene inspections to make the lines more obvious!
These methods all involve working from the "outside" to ensure that the cotton inside, regardless of its state, can be folded into perfect tofu blocks!
Of course, Chu Zhao did not use these methods.
But judging from the process... his methods are more like those of an evil cultivator than the methods mentioned above!
Is cotton difficult to harvest?
Then we won't pinch each other!
Simply pinch the duvet cover – it's time-saving, effortless, and worry-free, and the results are amazing!
Of course, this method also has its drawbacks.
One of the drawbacks is that the lines on the quilt disappeared as soon as Chu Zhao touched it.
Pinching the duvet cover is ultimately just a superficial effort.
Although it's much easier than picking cotton, it still takes some time to leave a permanent mark on the surface.
If you focus on sewing the duvet cover and try to speed things up, you're more likely to end up with the kind of situation Ye Pengfei described: "the stitches are crooked, and the duvet is ruined."
Even if you manage to cut out a usable thread, don't forget that the cotton inside changes over time!
It's common for things to get thinner and bigger.
Over time, the lines on the surface of the duvet cover will often clash with the lines created by folding the duvet. From a distance, it looks like a double eyelid has been applied, which is extremely unsightly!
This is how the quilt is ruined, and almost beyond repair!
These marks left on the surface of the duvet cover cannot be completely removed even by ironing. The best way to fix them is to replace the duvet cover!
In this way, all the effort put into getting trapped in the early stages... will be completely wasted!
Moreover, this kind of method is not something that ordinary people can use!
Trying to cut a straight line on a duvet cover is not an easy task!
Even Ye Pengfei wouldn't dare say that he could definitely cut a usable straight line out of the trap!
With this in mind.
Ye Pengfei frowned deeply and gestured to Chu Zhao.
"How did you pinch me? Show me again."
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao nodded and reached his hands towards the sides of the blanket.
When Chu Zhao was folding the blankets, the new recruits didn't know he could make such a wonderful blanket; they were too busy watching the spectacle to notice the details.
Now that Chu Zhao has taken the initiative again, the new recruits immediately perked up and stared intently at his movements!
Chu Zhao used his thumbs and forefingers to pinch the edge of the duvet cover.
Seeing this, Ye Pengfei was even more shocked!
Could it be... that Chu Zhao was gradually weakened by this method?
The reason why Ye Pengfei said that the thread is easy to pinch crooked is because this action is extremely unstable. It relies entirely on the force of two fingers, and the area covered each time the force is applied is very small, which often results in the pinched lines being discontinuous!
If Chu Zhao really used this method... in such a short time, he managed to create what Ye Pengfei considered to be perfect lines.
Ye Pengfei had nothing left to teach Chu Zhao in the field of internal affairs.
Instead, he should be asking Chu Zhao for advice!
Under the increasingly close watch of Ye Pengfei and the group of new recruits.
Chu Zhao did not pinch out the lines little by little with her fingers as Ye Pengfei had guessed.
Instead, he grabbed one side of the blanket with one hand and used the other hand to gently and casually stroke along the edge of the blanket!
When Chu Zhao slowly released his grip, a straight, sharp, and impeccable line appeared vividly before everyone's eyes!
Ye Pengfei and the others: "..."
A good long time passed.
Ye Pengfei then came to his senses and asked Chu Zhao with a slightly awe-inspiring tone, his voice filled with shock.
"Chu Zhao..."
"Have you practiced making your bed at home?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao shook his head.
Seeing this, Ye Pengfei's expression became even more shocked. Pointing to the blanket on the ground, he spoke incoherently.
"Never practiced?"
"Then what...this..."
In a short time.
Ye Pengfei couldn't find a suitable word to describe Chu Zhao's behavior just now!
"hehe."
Seeing Ye Pengfei hesitate, Chu Zhao smiled gently and spoke up at the right moment to take over the conversation.
"It's mainly because Jiahao teaches well."
"Plus, there's my own experience in this area..."
At this point, Chu Zhao extended his index finger and thumb, which had just shone brightly in his performance. He closed his fingers together, leaving only a small gap at the fingertips.
"She just has a tiny bit of talent."
Li Jiahao: "???"
And this has to do with me?
