Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 137 Down Jacket

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Zixuan and Wenhan went back to the county together.Pengcheng is newly married, so he took leave of absence and will go to the county next month.Zhixin and Xue Shi led Jingxian, Mingyu, Honglian and other maids back to the mountain together.Wenxuan, Wenchang and Ziwen also went back to school to study.For a while, the houses in the town were empty during the day with only five or six people left.

Before Mrs. Xue left, Zeng Jin told Mrs. Chen about the separation of the family.Mrs. Chen did not agree, it was not that the old lady was greedy for power or something, but that the children in the family had all reached the age of marriage.The old lady's concern is to arrange the marriage of these children with her own hands.

Xue Shi and Zhu Shi are both filial daughters-in-law, since their mother-in-law said so, they both have nothing else to say.In fact, they get along very well, and there will be no conflicts regardless of separation.It's just that I'm afraid that when the family business grows big, people's hearts may not all work together, and at that time, I'm just afraid that there will be unhappiness again.

Zhixin and the others killed a lot of big geese on the mountain within a few days of going up the mountain. At this time, there is no need to put the meat outside, and it is around this time every year that they send some to various restaurants.Several restaurants in the town have agreed, and the restaurant in the county also delivered it last year, so Zhixin doesn't have to worry about panic.

There are nearly a thousand big geese raised on the mountain, and besides some laying mother geese and breeding geese, about [-] of them will be killed.The first batch killed [-] people, and Zhixin sent them all out.Then it was agreed that the next batch would not be delivered until the middle of Winter Moon.

Zhixin packed all the goose feathers into bags, not sacks of course, but muslin bags.Although there are still some leaks, it can be regarded as pretending.The goose feathers accumulated in the past few years are carefully stored, and the preservation is not bad.There were a dozen or so pockets in total, and Zhixin sent them all to the town. If my daughter wanted to use them, she had to send them, no matter what they were.

Jinghan received the goose feather sent back by her father, and she and Jingya tried to soak the goose feather with water.Jinghan couldn't think of any potions to use, so she chose the ones for cooked fur and soaked goose feathers in them for a few days.Then take it out, rinse it with clean water twice, and then steam it in a pot.In this way, after high temperature sterilization, there should be no problem.

The processed goose feathers are dried and stored.Jing Han and Jing Wan went out and chose a very fine and soft material, and when they returned home, they cut it into clothes according to the pattern designed by Jing Han.This kind of clothes made by Jing Han, the sleeves and the front of the skirt are separated, everything is sewn up first, and then the whipped fluffy goose feathers are put inside, and then the mouth is sealed.Next, just like making a cotton-padded jacket, after smoothing the goose feathers inside, run it several times with a thread, so as to prevent the goose feathers from gathering together.Then, of course, the various parts are sewn together, which becomes the lining of the down jacket.Fine silk and satin were also selected for the outside, and made into clothes according to the size of the inside.

The first down jacket was made according to Jing Han's figure, with pink satin as the face and fine silk of the same color as the lining, completely wrapping the lining inside.A total of two layers of cloth barrier should be able to prevent the occurrence of drill hair.

Jinghan put on this down jacket that she made herself. The style is the same as that of the half-length coat in her previous life.Because there were no other buttons, I had to use buttons. Jinghan made a big collar specially, and the collar was trimmed with raccoon fur.

"Second Sister, your clothes are really pretty. Oh, it's light and warm. It's really good. Let me try it." Jing Wan couldn't help but want to try it when she saw it.So Jinghan took off her clothes and let Jingwan change into them.

After Jingwan put it on, she turned around several times, "Second Sister, do you think it looks good?"

"It looks good, it's so beautiful." The two sisters are also about the same size, so Jing Wan's clothes fit her well. "Come on, let's go and show grandma and third aunt."

The two came to the front yard and found the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were chatting there. "Grandma, do you think this dress looks good?" Jing Wan asked excitedly.

Chen Shi and Zhu Shi looked up, and it turned out that it looked like something they had never seen before, "Is this what you two have been talking about in the past few days?" Chen Shi felt that the clothes were really pretty. "It looks good, it looks warm. Is this made of those goose feathers?" Chen was not convinced.

"Yeah, look at those big geese, they live outside like this in winter, and they still live well. I thought, their feathers must be able to keep warm, and the goose feathers are used inside, which are warmer than cotton. It's less, and much more brisk." Jinghan pulled Jingwan to grandma, and let her touch it.

Chen Shi stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was indeed a thin layer of feathers inside, "It's so thin, can it work?" Chen Shi didn't quite believe it.

"It works. I was outside just now, and I didn't feel cold." Jing Wan nodded.

"If it's really useful, that's good. We have a lot of goose feathers in our house. We make one for everyone. I think the lightness of this thing is rare. The cotton-padded jackets we wear are better when they are new. It will become rigid after a long time. If the goose feathers are not rigid, it will be very good." Zhu also touched it with her hands, and felt that the goose feathers inside were very alive and could not be like cotton.

"Grandma, what color material do you like? Choose one for noodles. I'll make one for you in the past few days. Grandma doesn't go out very often, so I'll make you a short jacket. It's fine to wear at home. Third aunt, You choose one too, and I'll make you a longer coat and a short jacket, and you wear a long coat when you go out, and a short coat when you're at home, hehehe." Jinghan decided to make more, and everyone in the family have.Anyway, there are some goose feathers.

"Okay, this is good. I'll listen to you. Our family will make two coats. In my opinion, this coat is thicker. After all, it's cold when going out. The short coat doesn't need to be so thick. We wear it at home. It's too thick at home. Hot." The old lady gave some suggestions.

Jing Han felt that it made sense, so she accepted the suggestion.Then everyone discussed some details, and finally both Chen and Zhu agreed to help.It happened to be the end of October, and there was nothing to do at home, so I just thought it was the clothes made for the New Year in advance.

So the four women in the family, apart from cooking, make these clothes every day.There are many people and the work is fast. In about ten days, all the clothes of the whole family were made.Women wear a short jacket and an overcoat, while men wear a waistcoat and an overcoat.This vest is worn under the padded jacket, because men also have to go out to work in winter, so it is warm to wear.

Of course, Jinghan couldn't forget to make two sets for both Jingya and Pengcheng, and when they were done, they delivered them to the elder sister herself.For Jingya, it was a magenta short jacket, and a silver red overcoat with a fur collar.As for Pengcheng, it was a sky blue waistcoat and an azure overcoat. Men's overcoats were slightly longer and also trimmed with fur collars.

Jingya had never seen such clothes before, and thought they were quite strange, so the couple put on coats, and then came out to show Jinghan.

This kind of satin fabric is, after all, thicker than those in the previous life, so when worn on the body, it does not have the bulging feeling of the down jacket in the previous life.It's almost like a normal cotton coat, but it's not so bulky and looks very light.

The couple liked the clothes very much, and Pengcheng praised that it was light and comfortable to wear.It happened that Yue Siyuan and his wife also came over, and they saw the new clothes. "Hey, this is what Jinghan came up with. It looks really good. Jinghan, you don't want to think about my uncle. You see, uncle has to go out every day. It would be so warm if he had a piece of clothing like this Ah." Yue Siyuan didn't care about that, and just asked Jinghan for it.

"Uncle Yue, you have to wait for me to make them one by one. This thing is too troublesome. Several people in my family are busy, but I haven't made a few. If there are good things, of course I have to be close to my elder sister and brother-in-law first." Now, you and your aunt have to go to the back row." Jing Han said with a smile.

"Okay, you just need to make it for me. But, Jinghan, have you thought about doing something about it? I think your clothes have a future. If you want, we can cooperate. You make it, I'll take it out for you, this thing can definitely be sold at a good price." Yue Siyuan has now tasted the sweetness of tussah silk, and he dare not underestimate Jinghan's head, so he wants to cooperate with Jinghan.

Jinghan thought about it, and thought it was feasible. At first, she just wanted to make her own family's clothes. If she could sell them, she could break out into a world. "Uncle Yue, this is also possible. But I'm afraid it won't work this year. Most of the goose feathers I saved have been used to make clothes for our family. If I really want to sell them, I have to raise more big geese next year. Only then can there be goose feathers."

"Alright, let's try wearing it ourselves this year to see if there are any defects. If there are any problems, we can also make corrections. When we are ready next year, we will work hard. I think so, you The stuff is quite promising." Yue Siyuan is a veteran in business, if he says yes, he can't go wrong.

Jinghan also believed in Yue Siyuan's vision, so she decided to raise more geese next year.However, this goose feather can be made into a down jacket, but what about the goose meat?After all, the sales volume of these restaurants is limited, if there are more, I am afraid they will not be able to sell them, right?Jinghan thinks this is also a problem.So he told Yue Siyuan about this problem.

"Jinghan, you are using goose feathers. If it is duck feathers, isn't there some white ducks? If we raise some ducks, we can sell them to roast ducks." Yue Siyuan said.
