Xu San was not in a hurry about the stuffed toys and didn't take it seriously.
As for Ma Cuilan, after listening to Xu San's words, she also thought that she would not use the scissors in the next few days.
But he couldn't help the little girl's constant teasing and persistence, and finally picked up the scissors.
The drawings can only give a rough outline, and the rest depends on gestures.
Fortunately, Ma Cuilan has a good sense of space and can cut out the base fabric Xu San wants based on her imagination.
Even so, some fabric is wasted.
Due to insufficient preparation, the fillings could only be filled with wheat husks from Xu Sanjia's pillow and some rags. Buttons were used for the eyes and nose. As for the arc of the mouth, embroidery was used.
After it was finally formed, it had the same charm as the teddy bears of later generations, but because of the filling, it was heavier and felt worse than the stuffed toys of later generations.
After wiping her sweat and rubbing her dry eyes, Ma Cuilan began to check her work to see if there were any exposed stitches.
Teddy bears are very cute, with short arms and legs, and they are cute and naive.
Even Ma Cuilan, who was already a mother, couldn't put it down when she saw it. She held it in her hand and was unwilling to let go.
Xu San took the little bear from Ma Cuilan's hand, squeezed it, and said, "Sister-in-law, you have no choice in this craft. If possible, it would be nice to replace it all with cotton!"
"Cotton? Who would be so prodigal? The cotton stuffed into this little bear is enough to make a cotton-padded jacket for a child." Ma Cuilan sneered at Xu San's words. She would not believe that anyone would waste cotton to make a toy for a child.
He handed the bear to Ma Cuilan again: "I think my sister-in-law also likes this toy very much."
Ma Cuilan took the bear, nodded, and then continued to look at the details, thinking about whether there was anything else that could be improved.
"So, this kind of toy is a big deal! Especially for the eldest ladies from rich families, they will even pay ten times the price to buy this thing."
Ma Cuilan was thoughtful, but she still couldn't figure it out, but Xu San said it was, so it should be.
Xu San took the little bear again: "Actually, we can make it more high-end. If the outer skin is replaced with real leather, for such a big bear, it is estimated that two or three rabbit skins are enough. Trim the rabbit fur neatly, so that it feels better to the touch. Better, more animal-like.”
The little girl watched the cute teddy bear being passed between Xu San and her mother. She was very envious, so she finally couldn't help but said: "Mom, are you ready?"
"It's done!" Ma Cuilan picked up the teddy bear and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl took the teddy bear, touched it left and right, stretched out her little hand to turn over the eyes made of buttons, and plucked the round short tail a few times.
The joy in my heart is hard to express, it is all written on my face.
Hold the little bear and start trying to make the little bear make various movements, and then change the tone of voice and imitate the little bear's speech. Children's nature is to play, and it can be said that they are self-taught when it comes to toys. After a while, she was able to play with the little bear in various ways.
The next day, noon.
Xu San and Ma Cuilan collaborated again to make a lucky cat, which is commonly known as the Japanese God of Wealth. It is about seven or eight inches in size, two sizes smaller than the teddy bear given to the little girl, but this time it is filled with cotton. , achieving the best feel.
Taking the lucky cat and teddy bear, Xu San went to the warehouse and made a deposit.

Seeing the attributes of the Lucky Cat, Xu San felt bad for a moment.
This lucky cat Xu San was originally intended to be given to Mishima, but I didn't expect that this toy-like thing really has the property of attracting wealth. Although the introduction only stated "a trace", how much is this trace? This made Xu San inevitably have a lot of expectations.
Shamelessly, I climbed over the wall and found Ma Cuilan to make another one.
But this time, this one is just ordinary, like a teddy bear, it is just an ordinary toy.
Xu San left five oceans and asked Ma Cuilan to watch and make a few more teddy bears of different colors and sizes.
He mainly made these because he wanted to sell them in his own store, otherwise the items sold in his grocery store would be too monotonous.
As for the Lucky Cat, Xu San didn't dare to do what Ma Cuilan did, because in Ping'an City, he was the only traitor who could show off openly.
Ma Cuilan looked at the five oceans Xu San put on the table: "This is too much money. Even if this kind of small toy is made of cotton, it doesn't cost much?"
"No, no, it's not cotton. Remember what I said about leather? It's furry leather, preferably solid color and short-haired, so it feels best to the touch."
"But when it comes to making leather..." Ma Cuilan wanted to say that leather is different from fabric. She can make it as easily as fabric.
"It's okay, you can make perfect. My sister-in-law can practice with ordinary leather first. It'll be fine if it's scrapped. Then we can dispose of it at a low price. If we can't sell it, we can use it as a toy for the little girl."
"What toy? Are you going to make me a new toy?" The little girl holding a teddy bear suddenly rushed in and pushed the door open.
Ma Cuilan was furious when she looked at the little girl. Judging from the posture, this naughty child must have been eavesdropping under the door again. I don't know who she learned this gossip skill from. Now she and Xu San are talking about business. He didn't have time to educate her, so he waved his hand and said, "Go out and play. I'll take care of you later."
The little girl was kicked away, and Xu San continued: "Sister-in-law, even if this money is invested by me, let's start testing materials and proofing. These are all money, and it may be a bottomless pit investment."
Ma Cuilan still didn't take any money. She raised her children and took care of the shop by herself for so many years, which shows her strong character.
This time Xu San took out a sum of money to invest in the business he thought of, which made her feel like Xu San was taking care of her.
"Brother, if my sister-in-law has money, I won't use yours for now. If she makes any money, she will give it to you." Ma Cuilan continued to refuse.
Ma Cuilan always felt that Xu San had helped her and her mother enough, so she thought that she would not get any money from selling the toys, and she would have to pay for the labor.
Xu San scratched his head. Ma Cuilan's behavior made him very annoyed: "Sister-in-law, let's do this. How about we make five oceans each and become a partnership? Then I will come up with the design plan and you will complete it, and then wait. We will split the money from the sale equally."
Ma Cuilan hesitated. She still didn't want to take Xu San's money. She always felt that her craftsmanship was not worth money. As for the consumables, although the price was not cheap, it was still within her acceptance range.
"No, sister-in-law, we must cooperate in this deal." Xu San couldn't find an excuse for a while, so he started to circle around the room. After circling for more than a dozen times, he suddenly slapped his head: "Okay, let's do this, I'll sell Hero, you sell your skin!"
