[Should I use 3 pieces of cloth and 2 pieces of cotton to craft a rain jacket?]

Seeing the system notification, Jiang An didn't hesitate and nodded firmly in front of the crafting table: "Yes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a beam of light appeared on the workbench, and then a padded windbreaker appeared on the workbench.

Jiang An picked up the down jacket and examined it carefully. The down jacket looked very thick and the color was also quite dirt-resistant, so it should be able to withstand normal temperature drops without any problem.

With that in mind, she put the windbreaker on. Although it was a bit big because of the size, it was still within her acceptable range.

Next, Jiang An used the crafting table to make 10 men's and 10 women's windbreakers, and then sent pictures of the windbreakers to her friends list.

If you have something good, think of your friends first.

Of course, Jiang An's friend list also includes many powerful and influential people, so there must be plenty of good stuff there too.

Because of the continuous rain, players now have basic water supplies. Those with abundant resources have already bought water purifiers, while those with less resources are simply using rainwater, which has made it impossible for Jiang An's water purifiers to sell.

Only a few units can be put on the shelves, and a few will be sold sporadically.

However, she now has a new source of income, which is—windbreakers.

Just then, Jiang An received a private message from Tian Qing, a friend she had met on the island.

"An, are you busy?"

Upon seeing the message, Jiang An stopped what she was doing, placed the materials on the workbench, and replied, "Sister Qing, I'm not busy. What's up?"

"I got a bag of chicken feed from a treasure chest today, but I don't need it. I remember you just bought a few chicks, do you need them?" Tian Qing said, then sent a picture of chicken feed.

She didn't reply immediately, but instead clicked on the picture to check. There, she saw the words "Chicken feed, 2 kg, slightly shortens the growth time of chicks" clearly written on it.

Jiang An's eyes lit up the moment she saw the words "slightly shortened." Wasn't this chicken feed exactly what she needed right now?

"Sister Qing, this is a lifesaver! I was just wondering what to feed the chicks, and you brought this over. What would you like to exchange it for? I happen to have a blueprint for a down jacket. The down jacket made from it is padded and would be a great piece of warm clothing. How about exchanging it for it?" Jiang An didn't think too much and immediately offered her price.

Jiang An believed the deal was fair. Chicken feed was worthless to Tian Qing at the moment; although it weighed 2 kilograms, its value was far less than the value of the down jacket she had offered.

After all, most players know that as temperatures drop, the price of warm clothing will rise, but there are very few available in the trading channel. Chicken feed, on the other hand, is something she urgently needs at this stage, so the question of whether she wants to wait for it or not is irrelevant.

As I said before, a transaction is only necessary if both parties are willing.

However, Tian Qing did not agree immediately. Instead, she tentatively asked, "No need. I don't need this. Or, when the hen is brooding, you can give me a few chicks instead."

Ever since Tian Qing learned that Jiang An had been given chicks, she had been extremely envious. She also had plenty of food, and raising a few chickens to eat eggs and chicken meat would be no problem at all.

But Jiang An had no intention of exchanging, so he had to settle for second best and wait until the hen started brooding.

When Jiang An received the chicks, she didn't hide it. She happened to be chatting with Tian Qing and shared the good news with her, jokingly saying that she would give her a few eggs to try after the chickens laid eggs.

“Okay, but who knows when the hens will grow up? I’ll trade you my down jacket first, and when the hens start brooding, I’ll give you a few more,” Jiang An said.

Tian Qing also wanted to raise chickens, and she knew that, but Jiang An only had 10 chickens, and it was unknown how many would eventually grow to adulthood, so she couldn't bear to give any of them away.

Jiang An was also glad that she had gotten the chick. Luckily, she had a lot of friends, and if she got any special items she didn't need from opening boxes, she would usually exchange them with a familiar and trusted friend.

Without a doubt, she is one of the foodies among them.

When Tian Qing saw the message from Jiang An, she didn't stand on ceremony and replied, "Okay, An-meizi, I also need some warm clothes."

Then they sent over the chicken feed.

“It’s a deal.” Jiang An handed a women’s windbreaker to the person opposite him.

After receiving the chicken feed, Jiang An couldn't wait to open the bag.

She poured the chicken feed directly into the wooden bowl specifically for feeding the chicks.

Then, she gently placed the wooden bowl into the chicken coop.

Before long, a curious little chick tentatively approached.

It pecked at the chicken feed, seemed to find it tasty, and then began to eat it heartily.

Seeing this, the other chicks gathered around, chirping and scrambling to eat the chicken feed.

They ate with great relish and showed no unusual reaction.

Seeing this, Jiang An's worries finally dissipated.

After all, these chicks are still too young, and she was worried that they wouldn't be able to adapt to eating chicken feed.

In hindsight, her worries were unfounded.

Jiang An felt very gratified watching the chicks happily eating.

She poured a large bowl full of chicken feed to ensure that each chick was well-fed and watered, so that they could grow up as soon as possible.

After finishing feeding the chicks, she immediately opened the trading channel and searched for the keyword "chicken feed".

As expected, the all-powerful trading channel came in handy once again.

She found two players selling "chicken feed," totaling two kilograms.

Moreover, the price was reasonable, so Jiang An clicked the trade button without hesitation.

After the transaction was completed, she sent a private message to both sellers: "Do you have any more chicken feed? I'll buy it at a high price."

Hopefully, they still have enough stock to meet their chicken feed needs.
