Voice on the first floor.
There was a gasp from the other side. It was Ren Wangwang: "Really? Cotton, the kind that can keep you warm and make cotton clothes?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Yes. Do you need it?"
She felt it would be necessary.
As expected, Zhao Xian said, "There is a shortage of warm cotton products. You brought up the topic at the perfect time."
Qiao Xuejun: "I still have to pick and choose. The earliest mature varieties need 120 days to grow, so they won't be available in the short term."
Zhao Xian: "As long as you can plant, I can wait. I can provide heating for these four months."
Hearing what Zhao Xian said, Qiao Xuejun also breathed a sigh of relief.
It is a bit difficult to rely on her plantation alone. And the sheep, even if it is a young one, needs at least ten months to raise it until the wool can be sheared, and the cotton can produce two crops.
However, Qiao Xuejun said, "How many winter clothes do you need now? I have some rabbit fur. More than 60 kilograms."
This is the wild rabbit she caught. It has a lot of hair and doesn't grow much meat. One rabbit can produce 180 grams of hair every three months.
She only knew that rabbit fur could be used to make clothes, and 60 kilograms was not a small amount, but she did not have a detailed understanding of textiles, and she did not know how many clothes could be made from these 60 kilograms of fur.
When Qiao Xuejun said this, Zhao Xian suddenly laughed: "Teacher Qiao, it is an honor for the base to have you."
This time he really laughed, and Qiao Xuejun heard the slight laughter.
It seems that the base is really short of rabbit fur.
Wu Haifan suddenly shouted towards the work area inside: "Tailor Li! Come here!"
There was no movement inside, so he picked up the loud speaker next to him, turned it on and shouted twice.
After a while, a woman ran out from a room in the work area.
The base has a clothes repair studio. After all, the soldiers are fighting mutant creatures outside every day, and their equipment is damaged. Without new replacements, they need the help of the tailor.
She was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and a short scarf around her neck, but it covered her neck tightly.
She ran over quickly, holding a wooden ruler in her hand and not having time to put it down: "Xiao Wu, you called me? What do you want? It's very cold outside, hurry up and tell me I have to go back to the house."
She saw Qiao Xuejun and greeted her, "Teacher Qiao is here too."
After saying hello, she looked at Wu Haifan and said, "Hurry up and tell me what's going on. Don't waste my time. I haven't completed the task the lord has given me yet."
Tailor Li was exhausted.
So many survivors from outside suddenly moved in, and the base did not have enough cold-proof and warm clothes to distribute. So the lord dismantled the leather and cotton interlayers of the seat cushions and seat backs in the existing vehicles, and even the pillows that were no longer used, and took them out to make clothes, pants, or shoes. She made everything that could be made for people to wear.
How can this be so easy to do?
There was another task, which required her to make 200 pieces. She pieced together the materials and only managed to make about 100 pieces. She had no idea how to make the rest.
It was exhausting. She had a headache because many materials were not suitable for making clothes.
Wu Haifan asked: "Tailor, how many cotton-padded clothes can you make with 60 kilograms of rabbit fur?"
Tailor Li didn't understand what this meant. He thought about it briefly and replied, "For cotton-padded clothes, fill 1 jin of cotton for thinner ones and 3 jin for thicker ones. Now all the ones I make are filled with 3 jin of cotton, so 3 jin can make 20 pieces."
She paused again. "But if the rabbit fur is fluffy, you don't need to fill it with 3 kilograms. 2 kilograms is considered a lot. You can make 30 to 40 pieces. It's very warm. When I was in the factory, I had technical support. With 60 kilograms of rabbit fur, I could make up to 120 cotton-padded jackets. They are light and warm, not much different from down jackets."
One hundred and twenty pieces!
Everyone inside and outside the intercom heard Tailor Li's answer and were immediately shocked.
Even Qiao Xuejun was surprised, because she felt that 60 kilograms of rabbit hair was not a lot. It had been a year and a half, and she had not cut the hair very frequently, only three or four times.
She thought that making a dozen pieces with 60 kilograms of rabbit fur was a lot.
Tailor Li looked at Wu Haifan after he finished speaking: "What's wrong? You asked me to come out here and freeze just to amuse me and ask such a question?"
After hearing the answer from Tailor Li, Wu Haifan's eyes lit up.
120 pieces! That's because we have the technical support of the factory. If we don't have the technical support, we can make 50 or 60 pieces! That's also a great help!
Wu Haifan: "Tailor, how many pieces do you need to complete now?"
Tailor Li sighed, "There are many more. We are still short of about eighty pieces."
Wu Haifan: "Don't sigh, Teacher Qiao came here today to tell us that she has rabbit fur on her hands, and it weighs 60 kilograms!"
Tailor Li was stunned: "What? How much? 60 kilograms? Really?"
She turned her head sharply and looked at Qiao Xuejun, incredulous: "Teacher Qiao, are there really rabbit hairs?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Yes, but the coarse and fine hairs are all mixed together. I don't know if there are 60 kilograms that can be used."
However, I can shear the rabbit hair again next month, and together with the newly bred rabbits, I can shear another 20 kilograms of hair in total.
Tailor Li immediately said, "It doesn't matter. I'm good at making clothes. As long as it's real, just give me the rabbit fur and I'll be responsible for making the clothes."
