On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Ye Hongchang went to the town to inquire about the merchants selling chickens and ducks. He asked several of them and bought several bags of duck feathers.

They originally collected this thing for sale, but the price was not high, and they only spent a penny in total.

Ye Xiangxiang's eyes were bright. He couldn't go out recently. He only read medical books and was in a daze. Now he had something to do.

She quickly took the duck feathers to her room to clean them up. There were a lot of hard hairs inside, and she had to clean them all out, only the down ones.

After cleaning, it needs to be washed, then dried, and the duck down needs to be fluffed up.

After working for seven or eight days, with Ye Lixuan helping her, the two finally sifted out a bag of duck down.

Ye Xiangxiang couldn't make it by himself, so he hurriedly asked Mrs. Wang for help, "Grandma, look, this is duck down. Use this instead of cotton to make a piece of clothing and try it out."

She had to clean up this duck down with great difficulty. She encountered a lot of trouble and wasted a lot.

Wang stretched out his hand and touched it. It was so soft that he was shocked. "It's hard for you to comb out all the fluff. It's really soft to the touch."

Others quickly touched it, and Li said, "Xiangxiang, you are so patient, you actually picked it out bit by bit."

Ye Xiangxiang smiled and stuck out his tongue, "I don't know how to make clothes anyway, so I have nothing to do."

Ye Lixuan immediately raised his hand, "Auntie, I also helped."

Li Shi smiled, "Okay, Brother Xuan is also very capable and patient."

When she said it before, Wang only thought this method was feasible, but now that she was touching the duck down, she felt that the clothes would definitely be warm.

She immediately asked Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu to cut the materials and make a piece of clothing first to take a look.

Ye Xiangxiang wanted to make it to see how it would sell, and he expressed his thoughts, so Wang asked them to cut out a man's clothes.

Men often walk outside, so men's clothing is easier to sell. Even if it doesn't sell, it can be worn by Ye Hongchang and made according to his stature.

The material was not very good, and Ye Xiangxiang didn't think about changing it. If he couldn't sell it, he would keep it for himself.

The method is still the same as making cotton clothes, but they find that the fluff falls out easily, so the stitches must be extra fine and the grids must be smaller.

Ye Xiangxiang watched this dress being made. Li and Liu worked together and it took four days to make it.

In addition to the time she had spent selecting the plush, which lasted for over ten days, the cost was really quite high.

It was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Ye Hongchang had to go to town every few days. It was convenient to go there on horseback.

The down jacket was finally made. Ye Xiangxiang wrapped the clothes and handed them to Ye Hongchang.

"Dad will go and try it out. Tell the people in the clothing store how troublesome it is to make these clothes. Price them two taels and try to persuade them to sell them in the store."

Ye Hongchang took over, "Don't worry, I know what to say."

As long as you promise some profits, people will be interested, and you are making money for yourself.

Ye Hongchang took the clothes to a ready-made clothing store. The shopkeeper knew they were good clothes by touching them and asked Ye Hongchang where they came from.

He smiled and said, "I made it at home. It was a family member's whim. It's convenient for the shopkeeper to help me sell it in the store. We ask for a price of twenty taels. As long as it is sold, I will give the shopkeeper a 10% commission." .”

For such a big ready-to-wear store, it doesn't matter if there is one more piece of clothing, and it is also novel. If it is sold, its brand name will be even louder. The shopkeeper didn't think it was a big deal and agreed with a smile, "It's easy to talk about. It looks good when you touch it. I'll put it in the store and give it a try."

Ye Hongchang hurriedly went to buy other things. Many families in the village had them. It was convenient for him to ride a horse. When he went to the town, he was responsible for buying important supplies for each household.

This winter, because of the presence of Ye Hongchang and his horse, the villagers did not lack anything.

A few days later, Ye Hongchang went to the town to buy supplies again. He was thinking of going to a clothing store to ask, but before he stepped through the door, shopkeeper Wu came to greet him.

"Brother Ye, you are finally here. I thought you had forgotten your down jacket."

Ye Hongchang said with a smile, "I can't forget it. I heard what the shopkeeper meant, but it was sold?"

"I sold it. I put it here and sold it the next day. They didn't even pay me back the price for two taels of silver. They even asked me if I had anything else."

The shopkeeper was extremely happy, "Brother Ye, since you have figured out these clothes, make a few more. I have already asked you about it. If these clothes are always so good, there is no need to worry about selling them."

Ye Hongchang remembered it in his heart and smiled, "These clothes are very labor-intensive. I don't have time to make them this year. But the days are long. If I really want to sell them in large quantities in the future, I will definitely come to the shopkeeper again."

Shopkeeper Wu was afraid that he would keep his word, "It's a deal, but you must come to me."

He quickly took two taels of silver to Ye Hongchang, "Forget it if you split it. Brother Ye came to me and bought a lot of ready-made clothes and fabrics. How can I ask for a split? But if you have business in the future, you have to think of me. "

Ye Hongchang collected the money and agreed with a smile, "Don't worry, shopkeeper."

I am most familiar with this shopkeeper. As long as his character is good, I will definitely cooperate with him. Wouldn't it be more troublesome to find someone else?

After he left, Shopkeeper Wu clicked his tongue, "If we really make a large amount of it, we will make a fortune."

The waiter smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, we have to keep a close eye on this, don't let others take away this business."

Shopkeeper Wu nodded, "You're right, we really need to keep a close eye on it."

The down jacket was successfully sold, which is good news.

Ye Hongchang bought all the things he wanted to buy, and quickly returned to the village as quickly as possible.

The family was waiting for him to come back for lunch. As soon as Ye Hongchang walked in, Mrs. Liu came over to take what he was holding, "It was earlier than expected, just in time for dinner."

Ye Hongchang said, "Daughter-in-law, where is Xiangxiang?"

"It's in the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hongchang had already entered the house, put two taels of silver directly in front of Ye Xiangxiang, and said with a smile, "All the money from selling the down jacket is here."

Ye Xiangxiang said in surprise, "Sold out so quickly?"

Ye Hongchang smiled and nodded, and then learned what shopkeeper Wu said to her, "Xiangxiang, do you have any good ideas? I think this business can be done. There are mostly women in the village, so there is no way to do hard work. If It’s really a good way to start this business.”

The food was just about to be placed on the table, and the family sat together. Ye Xiangxiang happened to share his thoughts with everyone.

"These days I have been thinking about what kind of business is best for everyone to run. Now it seems that this way is feasible."

Everyone was waiting for her to say. Ye Xiangxiang smiled and said, "Raising ducks can sell duck meat and duck eggs. Duck down can also be made into down jackets. The duck manure produced can be used to irrigate the ground, which is of great use."
