Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 120 Lu Changhua’s new idea

During the farm TV news, Liu Li stood in front of the gate of the dairy factory and talked eloquently, interviewing Zhao Huaian as a reporter and detailing the farm's dairy farming policy. Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui were sitting in the duty room watching the news.

"I'll wipe this cow!"

Lu Changhua will also smile.

"You kid doesn't learn well!"

"Hehe, she said cows are interesting, just right."

It was not only Hu Dagui but also Lao Cheng who felt this way.

He squinted at home, stared at Liu Li on the TV, and swallowed.

What a cow!
All the Lu family's geese were killed and their velvet was plucked.

There are 47 bags packed, each bag weighs one pound.

It was piled on the floor of the duty room.

"Changhua, what are you doing with this goose down?"

"I want to make a cotton-padded jacket and pants."

"Can this thing work?"

Hu Dagui looked at the thick cotton-padded jacket he was wearing, and then at the goose down bags piled on the ground.

"Isn't this thing cold?"

"not cold."

It's snowing heavily today, and Lu Changhua decided to deliver fish early tomorrow morning to avoid poor visibility at night.

Only then did he have the opportunity to watch TV with Hu Dagui.

As soon as the news ended, Lu Changhua got up and went to the warm pool.

Hu Dagui also followed.

Xiong Bao, Mo Bao and Taxue were all covered in thick hair and watched their surroundings warily.

Now Mo Bao and Taxue are taller and stronger, but Xiong Bao has become the smallest one.

But they still followed Lu Changhua's order in the previously arranged seating order.

The plastic greenhouse of the warm pool has been covered with thick quilts.

It was already minus [-] degrees outside, and the two people and the three dogs walked into the duty room of Nuanchi with white breath.

As soon as he entered the corridor, a wave of heat hit his face.

Lu Changhua stomped the snow on his feet, and the three Xiong Bao brothers shook their snow-covered dog hair in the corridor.

Hearing the door open, Dahong's wife came up from the basement.

"Yo, the boss is here?"

"Well, let's take a look."

Lu Changhua also walked down to the basement.

Inside, a large brick furnace was burning roaringly, and the wood in the furnace was licked by the flames.

"how is the situation?"

"It's pretty good. The pumping force is quite strong. It just wastes firewood."

"Are you running out of firewood?"

"No, if you just burn it like this, you'll need at least a dozen loads of wood for four big stoves."

"Just go haul firewood these days."

Walking out of the basement, they checked the conditions of the other furnaces one by one.

"What's the temperature like now?"

"The indoor temperature of the warm pool is a bit high, 28 degrees, and the water temperature is only [-] degrees."

"How's the fish?"

"It's okay, quite active."

"Is feeding normal?"

"normal."

"Come on, let's go have a look."

Several people entered the warm pool again and walked around the warm pool along the thick walls.

With the dim light, we could only see the road clearly, and the water surface was shimmering.

Occasionally, koi can be seen swimming in the water, but there is very little movement in the water, so they must be resting.

Lu Changhua pulled up the thermometer in the water and looked at it. It was about [-] degrees.

The water pump also stopped at night, and occasionally you could hear the sound of koi turning over and swimming in the water to make splashes of water.

After checking around, they left.

Back in the duty room, Lu Changhua told Hu Dagui to find a few cars to go to the forest farm to pull firewood together tomorrow, and asked for more.

Just in case there is no firewood before spring begins.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements tomorrow."

Hu Dagui is now able to stand on his own.

"I don't worry about your work.

The wood is stacked nearby to facilitate the heating and burning of the stove. "

"Hey."

Conveyed these.

Cleaned up and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Lu Changhua carried the ice and walked across the ice.

The ice layer is not very thick at the moment.

He made a hole in the ice not far from the shore.

It didn't take much effort, and the big carp jumped out one after another.

Since his fishing skill can only be used once a week, he uses it whenever the time comes.

The purpose is to increase proficiency and level up as quickly as possible.

If not, it doesn't matter. If you dig a hole in the ice, the big carp can jump out on its own. It's just a matter of how much.

At this moment, more than 30 carp jumped out. Hu Dagui quickly threw the big carp into the bucket, and their newly frozen bodies recovered.

Lu Changhua usually digs two holes in the ice to basically meet his delivery needs.

He put these big carps into the water tank.

The big carp is jumping around again.

A wooden board was placed above the water tank, and a dozen bags of goose down were tied to it.

Lu Changhua wandered into the city.

After entering the compound, I unloaded the goose down first, and then started unloading the fish.

"What is this? Cotton?"

Mom looked at these soft and light things and squeezed them with her hands.

"Haha, Mom, this is good stuff, goose down."

"What can this thing be used for?" "It can be used to make cotton-padded jackets, cotton trousers, quilts, mattresses, etc. It will keep you warm."

"Look at what you can do, how did you know?"

My mother sneered at this statement, but the cotton was still real.It's goose down or not, who are you trying to fool? !

Lu Changhua didn't say much, tied up the goose feathers again, and drove away.

"Can we leave after dinner?"

"Don't eat, I still have something to do."

Mother Lu knew that her son had a busy day and never had a moment of leisure, so she let him go.

Lu Changhua drove to Qidao Street, where there was a small clothing factory.

This is run by the street, mainly to provide employment for unemployed young people.

They usually produce military green and sky blue four-pocket imitation military uniforms and imitation police uniforms.

Lu Changhua got in touch with them a few days ago.

He wants to make cotton clothes.

It’s just that this cotton jacket is a bit special.

The material is not cotton, but goose down.

Today he brought some goose down and asked them to experiment to see if they could make it.

The jeep parked in the compound of the Red Star Garment Factory.

When the doorman saw that it was the boss who had been here a few days ago, he looked at it and retreated into the duty room.

Lu Changhua walked into the office.

This is a trip to the bungalow.

As soon as he entered the factory director's office, the skinny old factory director stood up wearing a military coat.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, you are really here!"

"Director Sun, didn't we agree?"

"What goose down did you bring?"

"Here it is, in the car."

Factory Director Sun followed Lu Changhua out and called a few workers to come over and unload the goose down.

Then he said: "Let's go to the chief engineer's office first and let Liu Gong take a look."

The workers moved all the goose down to the general engineer's office.

"Liu Gong, look at this goose down."

Director Sun pointed at the bags.

"Let me see."

Liu Gong opened the bag, and small fluff floated out from inside.

He took out a handful and looked at it in his hand.

With a gentle blow, it floats up.

"Oh, what a good thing!"

Liu Gong said while looking at the goose down floating in the air.

"Liu Gong, I suggest making goose down jackets and goose down pants. Do you think this is okay?"

"You said."

"The tail of goose down is very sharp. If the fabric is not dense, it will stick out and cause flying velvet. So I thought it should be made with lining, and the goose down jacket should be used as the liner, and a jacket should be put on the outside. The trousers should be made into pairs. Layers of fabric, what do you think?”

"Well, you can try."

"It is different from ordinary cotton clothes. It is made of cotton. You can lay the cotton and then put it on the machine to run the threads. However, this goose down is too light and will run away if it is blown a little. Therefore, I suggest sewing the horizontal strips first and then sewing them in. Fill it with down, then seal it, and then sew the vertical seams.”

"Well, here's a way."

"Let's experiment in the workshop first."

That's it.

Lu Changhua first put down a deposit of 100 yuan.

Let them measure their own size and conduct experiments according to this size.

In fact, Liu Gong has seen down jackets before.

Jiangxi and Jiangsu are the processing bases for down jackets.

It's just that down jackets are now exclusively for export and are rarely seen in domestic shopping malls.

A week later, when Lu Changhua delivered fish to the store, his mother said that someone from the clothing factory called today and said that samples had come out and asked him to take a look.

When he came to lead the Red Star Garment Factory, a set of down jackets hung in the chief engineer's office.

To keep warm, the cuffs of down jackets are elasticated.

The inner liner is tied with horizontal and vertical stitches using a sewing machine.

Every piece is bulging.

"Xiao Lu, this suit of yours took a lot of effort. It took a dozen of us a week to make it. Can you see if it works?"

"That's great. Liugong, what kind of fabric is this?"

"This is nylon cloth. We transferred some from Harbin."

Lu Changhua looked at these rough down jackets and felt very satisfied.

He knew that the Red Star Garment Factory was definitely not professional in making down jackets. It had neither drawings, professional personnel, nor professional equipment.

But under such difficult conditions, it is remarkable that it can be done and done in a decent way.

"It would be better if the fabric of this jacket had a waterproof coating."

This is what Lu Changhua had in mind.

Even if such fabrics are available now, they are probably expensive.

It’s still unclear whether it can be imported.

"Haha, the material you mentioned does exist, it's called coated nylon velvet, but it's very expensive."

"Then forget it, just do this a few times."

Lu Changhua took his mother and father here again, measured their sizes, and made several sets.

According to Liugong's current usage, the total amount of goose down in a set of clothes and pants totals 800 grams.

When Lu Changhua returned home, he had already put on a customized goose down jacket.

This goose down jacket is quite bulky when I put it on.

Because goose down has very good fluffiness, it will expand to a large area just a little bit.

Although he took off his heavy cotton jacket and trousers, he still felt that his hands and feet were not very flexible.Well, I need to put less goose down in the future. Putting too much is not a good thing.

As he drove and pondered, a bold idea grew in his mind.

If you could make goose down jackets yourself and export them to Soviet Russia further north, wouldn't you make a fortune?

This is the fantasy in his mind.

Now he has nothing to ask for, and wanting to export goose down jackets is nothing more than a daydream.
