Sister-in-law Fan's words were objective and reasonable, and they resonated with everyone, naturally earning their nods of agreement.

Yunling understood their thoughts. Even in later generations, there were many women who did not want to wear bras, especially in the hot summer. They wished they could peel off a layer of skin to cool down and simply wanted to throw away their bras.

However, the bra does have its uses, and for someone like her who wants to do this kind of business, highlighting the bra's benefits and making it a selling point is not a bad thing.

Yunling thought this way, and naturally, this was her explanation.

"Auntie is right. The bellyband has been passed down from generation to generation. If we want to break through the barriers and be accepted by the world, we can only innovate."

"A bra is more complicated than a bellyband, but it also has more functions. The water ladle you mentioned is made of soft padding, which can protect our two cleavages to a certain extent and also play a role in shaping and protecting them."

"As for what Auntie said about everyone being different sizes, that is indeed a tricky issue, but it's not unsolvable. I'm thinking of using Chinese knot buttons, placing the buttons at the front for adjustment, and making multiple sizes to solve this problem."

Yunling's words left them completely bewildered. The reason was that they had never seen what the bra looked like, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure out what good it might do.

However, they always viewed Yunling through a biased lens, believing that everything she did was good and that she would succeed at anything. So even if they didn't understand, they still nodded in agreement because she had said so much.

Bingniang hadn't said a word because she was thinking about how to sew the breast pads. Following the steps on the blueprint and thinking about the water ladle shape Yunling had mentioned, she roughly had an idea.

“Ling’er, I think I understand what you mean. Let me explain. If you think there’s anything wrong, please point it out to me.”

"Please speak, Auntie."

Ice Maiden's fingertips landed on the drawing again. After pausing to organize her thoughts, she spoke:

"First, cut out this triangular shape, then overlap the two triangles together, and sew the overlapping side together to make a shape similar to a small pocket."

"Then, open this little pocket and sew a line along the overlapping part inside. This way, the opening can be opened up, making it into a shape similar to a water ladle, right?"

Yunling didn't understand needlework, but listening to Bingniang's words, which seemed quite reasonable, she figured that was how it should be done. Anyway, if it turned out wrong, she could just change it; it wasn't a fixed matter.

"Yes, that's how my aunt is."

"If that's the case, I'll have to think about it carefully. Hey, what kind of line is the herringbone line you mentioned earlier? Could you draw it out for me so I can have a better idea?"

Yunling took the wolf-hair brush from Yunchu, gripped it tightly with her wrist, but wrote very lightly, afraid that she might make a mistake and smudge the paper.

"Auntie, that's about it."

Bingniang had never seen this kind of thread technique before, but she was somewhat unconvinced that it couldn't be used for embroidery. No matter what, she had to give it a try.

“I’ll try it when I get back, Ling’er. You said it’s embroidered on a soft cushion… what kind of soft cushion is it?”

"Wool felt, Auntie, go back and study the needlework first. As soon as I get my hands on this wool felt, you can immediately show off your skills on it."

It's a pity it's so late at night, otherwise Yunling would definitely have taken the opportunity to work on the wool for a while, so that Bingniang could try out the needlework sooner.

Since Yunling had this idea in mind, she naturally couldn't sit still or sleep. The next day, before dawn, she got up and started working.

She first filled a basin with water, then untied the burlap sack, grabbed two large handfuls of wool and placed them on a wooden board. She then wet her fingers and sprinkled water onto the wool before beating it with a mallet.

As far as she knows, in ancient times, many nomadic tribes would choose animal hair mixed with water or urine and stomp or beat it to make felt or blankets, thereby achieving the purpose of keeping warm.

Yunling didn't have any usable tools, so she could only follow this method to pound the wool felt. Since she was the only one doing this, she secretly used her special ability to increase the force. When she felt that the thickness was right and the wool felt was about to take shape, she used a cotton-pressing millstone to smooth the surface, and a piece of wool felt was made.

Yunling couldn't wait any longer and grabbed a wool felt and ran to Granny Fan's house, "Auntie, Auntie, quick, let's try it out!"

Bingniang put down the plus-size panties in her hand, looked up and met Yunling's eager and expectant face, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Ling-jie, is this all there is to it? The blueprint also shows a layer of cotton fabric that touches the skin."

Upon hearing this, Yunling remembered. She slapped her forehead, quickly ran home, picked up the two newly bought bolts of cotton cloth, and rushed towards the Fan family as if she were picking up gold.

"Auntie, it's done."

Bingniang examined the design on the drawing again. First, she took out a charcoal pencil and drew a pattern on the cotton cloth that resembled a triangle but had a slight curve. Then, she cut it out along the grain with scissors, placed it on the wool felt, and cut out wool felt of the same size.

Bingniang placed the two pieces on top of each other, took out a needle and thread, and sewed the overlapping side together.

Everything was done according to the steps in the drawing, and it looked just like that, but when it came to the last step, when it came to embroidering the herringbone pattern, the abruptness came out.

It's not that the embroidery is ugly, but it's still a little different from the breast pads Yunling had imagined.

Bingniang also sensed that something was wrong, and she looked at Yunling with embarrassment, saying:

"Ling-jie, I don't think I can embroider it."

"It's already quite good that Auntie's embroidery turned out this well on her first try. I'm sure she'll be able to get the hang of it after a few more tries and be able to embroider it perfectly."

Yunling knew that this herringbone stitch was no ordinary thing. In later generations, it would have been sewn by machine, but now it could only be done by hand, so it was naturally not so easy.

"That's true, but cotton cloth and wool felt are not cheap."

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Auntie, you can embroider with peace of mind. I got this wool cheaply, without spending a single penny."

Although Yunling said that, Bingniang was still thinking about getting started quickly so that she could save Yunling some money.

Although Bingniang had this idea, it was not easy to actually do it. She kept trying and trying, making mistakes and adjusting as she went. Finally, after using up most of the bag of wool, she finally figured out the trick.

"Auntie, it's done, that's it. Make three more, and make two bras. I'll go to town tomorrow."
