How do you know that duck feathers and goose feathers are warmer than cotton?
Upon hearing her words, Fu Hongxing's heart stirred, and he stared intently at Ning Jing, as if trying to see right through her.
Ning Jing's heart tightened instantly, but she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I've touched the downy feathers of other people's ducks when they were molting before. I thought they were very soft and warm. But it was just one duck, so I didn't think much of it."
But when I went to the kitchen just now, I saw those chicks and I was thinking, if we raised not just one duck, but ten or even a hundred, could we use their down as cotton?
Besides, if that's not enough, why not just ask for what others don't want and put it together?
"They have no relation to us, so why would they agree to give us these duck and goose feathers!"
Fu Hongxing shook his head and said with a slight chuckle.
"Of course we won't take it for free. Since we can't buy or sell it, let's not buy or sell it. We'll exchange it for sugar. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Ning Jing smiled slyly at Fu Hongxing, and then said.
Fortunately, she lived with her grandparents back then, and as they got older, they often talked about the old days.
Especially the story of exchanging goose feathers, duck feathers, and turtle shells for sugar—even at this age, I still think the sugar from back then was the sweetest.
"Trading sugar for duck and goose feathers?"
Fu Hongxing's smiling face suddenly froze. This method seems to work!
Even so, at most it would be people from a few villages around Xishan Village who would exchange places.
If we go any further, we'll need a letter of introduction from the village chief.
But if it's a private matter for the Fu family, it might be okay once or twice, but the village chief isn't so easy to make an exception for.
Fu Hongxing thought more than Ning Jing. Ning Jing originally planned that even if she exchanged all the duck and goose feathers around the village, she estimated that there would be enough for her family.
He was thinking, if it really became a big business, could the villagers also use this kind of warm clothing?
Most importantly, if this is a side job, there will always be trouble if someone catches you.
"Here's what you're thinking. Just tell me your ideas clearly, and I'll be responsible for persuading the village chief so that the village can take the lead and treat this as a side job."
"A side hustle? Like raising pigs in the village?"
Ning Jing blinked and asked.
Fu Hongxing nodded: "If you work alone, things could easily go wrong if something happens."
Why not turn it into a sideline business for the village? That way, it becomes something for everyone.
Even if something happens, it won't affect you, and you can do whatever you want.
Most importantly, this is exactly what the county wants every village to do.
As long as we achieve results, we can help the village get rid of poverty and backwardness.
If they can make progress and be praised by the county, the village chief will surely be very happy; it would be a win-win situation.
Ning Jing blinked after hearing Fu Hongxing's words.
Suddenly, I realized that what he said made a lot of sense.
Whether you raise them yourself or have them raised in the village, as long as your own family benefits, that's enough.
Moreover, if it were raised in the village, it certainly wouldn't be like this, just a pittance.
If we were to raise them, it would definitely be in large numbers.
"However, if we raise them in large quantities, we need to figure out where to get the duck and goose meat."
Otherwise, with so many ducks and geese, we can't just keep them for grooming, can we?
