Reborn Doll Life

--

In the afternoon, Lin Su received a few group photos of Abby and the five mermaids, with Abby's signature attached.

After the decoration of the toy store is completed, Lin Su plans to put the photos in the display cabinet and put them together with the new toys.

Among the orders mentioned by the old housekeeper, there were many contracts for mass production, for which Lin Su politely declined.At present, the number of craftsmen is limited, and Lin Su is unwilling to follow the mechanized production process.

He hopes to inherit the consistent style of the toy store, handmade, each with its own characteristics.Although the speed is slower and the quantity is smaller, every toy represents the excellent quality of Lin's Toy Store.

But then the question is, how can he save the profit of the toy store, and how to survive in this city.

He couldn't figure out how he would provoke the Xu family.

When seeing Qing Ci again, Lin Su glanced at the cost calculated by the other party as calmly as possible, so as not to break out in a cold sweat.However, the amount surprised Lin Su, it was unexpectedly small.

Qingci only calculates the daily work cost of each person according to the regular price.

Lin Su felt a little unbelievable: "That's all?"

Qing Ci nodded.

Lin Su read it again in disbelief, was he joking with him, the column corresponding to Jack actually drew a big duck egg.Even if Jack was polite and really didn't charge a penny, Jack's round-trip air ticket should be reimbursed anyway.

Is the way of dealing with Qingci too direct and excessive?

Lin Sugang was about to ask, which educated youth Ci spoke first.

"Jack said he wanted to order a toy." Qingci said abruptly.

As he said that, Qing Ci took out a design drawing and showed it to Lin Su. Lin Su took the design drawing and was stunned for two seconds. What is this creature with green hair on its head?

A big face, a pair of dark eyes, and a flower at the end of the tail. This kind of colored pencil drawing is obviously drawn by a child.

little boy?little girl?

Lin Su couldn't guess for sure, but he believed that this was a child with a warm heart, and this little monster looked cute when he smiled.Lin Su has never doubted the creativity of children. When the thinking has not been limited by the constraints of society, the creativity of children is so powerful.

As I grow up day by day, those unfettered fantasies are cruelly obliterated bit by bit in reality, leaving only a layer of constant dullness.

"This is?" Lin Su looked at Qing Ci inquiringly.

Qingci shook his head lightly. This probably belongs to the fusion of multiple creatures: "Jack said the material is plush, and the height is one meter."

Lin Su readily accepted the business as a gift to Jack.

He met the craftsmen in the toy store before. When the old housekeeper introduced them, Lin Su remembered that one of them was very good at making puppets. Most of the puppets in the store were made by her, which made Jack's order safe. .

For the next two weeks, Lin Su's life was peaceful and stable. After discussing with the craftsmen, he added three new materials for the mermaid, and each material still has five mermaids.

As the original designer of Mermaid, Qingci also participated in the discussion.He was seldom talkative, but his hands-on ability was strong, which won the appreciation of the craftsmen, who all praised Uncle Qing for having a powerful nephew.

This made Lin Su very pleased, and the toy store hired another excellent craftsman.

The sales of the new toys are so good that they don't sell well enough.Although the idea of ​​prolific production and high sales once flashed in Lin Su's mind, he quickly gave up.It is not necessarily a good thing to go steadily step by step and rush to sell too much at once.

For a while, Wu Heng didn't come to hang around in front of his eyes, and the Xu family didn't see any movement, which made Lin Su breathe a sigh of relief, and he was able to calm down and take care of his weak body.

He has been out and about for a long time, his mood is relaxed, his appetite has increased greatly, and his pale face finally has some color.This made Aunt Li, who was in charge of his three meals, very happy, and cooked delicious food with different flavors for Lin Su every day.

Lin Su regained his energy, and there was more laughter in the villa, and the whole Mingxi villa seemed to have regained its vitality.

In this regard, the old housekeeper was very pleased. Mr. Lin would be very happy to see Lin Su cheer up again in the sky.

After the puppet made by Jack was finished, Lin Su sent it to the address provided by Jack. To his surprise, the delivery address was a nursing home.

Lin Su couldn't help wondering if the child was sick, and he sincerely hoped that the child who drew such cute plush little monsters would recover sooner.

Afterwards, Lin Su learned that he had unknowingly participated in a children's program "My Little Friend".A toddler who can't speak draws a picture wishing for such a furry friend, and Jack draws her wish, and grants her wish.

If he had told Lin Su earlier that two scenes about him and his toy store flashed in the show, Lin Su would have smiled more handsomely in front of the camera.

One day, Lin Su was sitting in a toy store, conceiving toy drawings.He accidentally saw a little boy standing beside the glass showcase.The little boy was about ten years old, and he kept staring at the toys in the display cabinet for a while, then walked away quietly.

Lin Su came to the display cabinet curiously, and he looked in the direction of the other party's line of sight. It was a ship in a bottle.The shell boat inside can be clearly seen through the transparent bottle body, which is exquisitely made, and when facing the light, it will glow with the unique soft and bright light of the shell, which is very beautiful.

Lin Su weighed it in his hand. It was a bit heavy, but not too heavy.

Seeing Lin Su pondering about the ship in a bottle, Xiao Qi, the girl guarding the shop, came over: "Master, are you interested in this?"

Lin Su shook his head: "I'm just a little concerned. There was a kid outside who was watching it just now."

"Is he such a tall little boy?" Xiao Qi raised his hand to indicate his height in mid-air, "He has come to see him often, and it has been almost a year."

Hearing this, Lin Su became interested and motioned for the other party to continue.It was rare for Sister Xiao Qi to have a few words with Lin Su, so she couldn't help but start talking.

The little boy's parents traveled across the sea to do business, leaving the little boy to live with his grandmother. At first, the parents would send money back, but gradually, there was no news of them anymore.

Grandma is old and does not have much income every month. It is very difficult to raise the little boy alone, but she still does what she can to give the little boy the same life as other children, let him study and study.

The little boy is very obedient and obedient. He helped his grandmother with housework, washing and cooking at a young age.

One evening, the little boy passed by outside the toy store and saw this ship in a bottle. He liked it very much, and his grandmother could tell that he liked it very much.So, grandma took him into the store, and the little boy looked at the boat happily for a long time. When grandma took out the money in her pocket to buy, the little boy said to grandma.

"Grandma, I don't like this boat, let's go home."

The little boy said, took his grandmother's hand and left.

After that, the little boy came over often, and every time he stood quietly outside the shop, looking at the ship.Perhaps whenever he saw a boat, he would think of his parents.

Perhaps because she understood the little grandson's thoughts too well, the little boy's grandmother came over quietly and bought the boat for the little boy.Just when everyone thought it was over, the little boy suddenly ran back to the toy store with the boat in a bottle.

His grandmother was ill, and he sold the boat to a toy store to pay for her medicine.

At that time, the old housekeeper happened to be in the store, and he told Mr. Lin who was lying on the hospital bed.Everyone didn't know what Mr. Lin told the old housekeeper, but it was later heard that a good man who did not leave his name helped the little boy's grandmother.

The man paid all the medical expenses for grandma, and also gave them a sum of money to tide over the difficulties of life.

The old butler explained that the ship in a bottle is no longer for sale, and it will be placed in a glass showcase facing the street in the future.Therefore, the ship in a bottle is still placed in the outermost showcase every day, and can be seen from a distance.

On the day the toy store was smashed, if the clerk hadn't taken it out for regular cleaning, I'm afraid it would have been broken together with the ceramic doll.

Lin Su looked at the ship in a bottle in his hand, and carefully put it back to its original position.

The toys here condensed many stories, and Lin Su couldn't bear to let them encounter poisonous hands again.Although there is no bulletproof glass installed, Lin Su has confidence in the renovated toy store. Not everyone can casually damage these quiet handicrafts.

He looked at the boat in a bottle and couldn't help but ponder. Does Mr. Lin mean to wait until the kid grows up to save money to buy the boat back?

Maybe there is another faster way.

When Lin Su and Qing Ci were discussing the design of the new toy, he took the ship in a bottle out of the display cabinet by the window and put it on the table.

Qingci asked Lin Su: "This month's new design is a boat?"

Lin Su smiled and shook his head: "It's hope."

Qingci looked at Lin Su silently, and didn't say another word.Don't comment on the young master's creativity, this is what his uncle asked him to do.

Relatively speechless, Lin Su thought for a while, and broke the silence with a smile: "I feel that this topic is quite abstract, without concrete things."

The adjective that accompanies hope is often illusory, which shows that this issue is not easy to discuss.Hope seems invisible and intangible, but you can vaguely see it in the distance, as long as you walk forward, you can approach it step by step.

Lin Su discussed with Qingci for a while, but they didn't come up with a proper sketch.The concept given by Lin Su is too broad, and the word hope contains too much content. They each drew several designs and were not satisfied.

As the sky was getting dark, Lin Su felt a little hungry, so he put down the pen in his hand.He asked Shang Qingci to go out for dinner with Xiao Qi who was watching the store. Xiao Qi was so happy to get off work early today to have dinner with Lin Su.

The toy store is located in a bustling part of the city. It is not difficult to find a restaurant nearby. Lin Su didn't really want to eat Western food today, so he chose a Chinese restaurant.

They found a square table by the window, Qing Ci and Xiao Qi sat on one side, and Lin Su sat on the other.He flipped through the menu, ordered the dishes he wanted, and then handed the menu to Qingci and the others to order.

When the dishes were served, Qing Ci was slightly taken aback. He looked at the dishes on the table, and then at Lin Su.

Lin Su had similar tastes to someone he knew, and the dishes Lin Su ordered were all Shang Yuze's favorite dishes.
