"Don't want duck meat? Just duck feathers?" the dormitory leader repeated.
To prevent my ears from being blocked by hair and worrying that I might not be able to hear clearly.
"Yes, I only want duck down!" Jiang Manyue repeated with a smile, "I only want duck down."
"Give me all the down from these ducks, today!"
"Okay!" The dormitory leader didn't care about anything else. The duck had to be slaughtered after it died anyway.
These duck feathers will be thrown away too, so of course they are happy that someone spends money to buy them.
"You two, go pluck the dead duck."
"Okay!" The two older brothers looked at each other and quickly did as they were told.
Fools are rare these days, and if you run away, you will lose a lot.
Qin Zhenbei hurriedly pulled her aside: "Man Yue, why do you want duck down?"
"Don't worry, if you want duck down, you'll naturally want to make clothes!"
"You don't know, duck down is warmer and lighter than cotton."
"When these ducks die, their price drops. If we can buy duck down, it can make up for the cooperative's losses."
Making clothes out of duck feathers? I’ve heard of wool sweaters before, but never heard of duck feather sweaters.
It took a long time to pluck the down from dozens of ducks, and the feathers filled several large bags.
"Do you think these are enough?" The dormitory leader brought over a few bags.
Jiang Manyue took a look at the number and found that it was indeed quite a lot.
"This weighs a total of 23 pounds, comrade. Are you sure you want them all?"
The dormitory head asked cautiously: "These are just useless duck feathers!"
"Yes, I want them all!" Jiang Manyue paid twenty-three yuan directly.
Only after receiving the money did they truly feel that this was real.
"Hehe!" The dormitory leader laughed on the spot: "Little comrade, do you still want duck feathers tomorrow?"
"My wife works in a slaughterhouse, and I wonder how many duck feathers there are every day!"
"Sure!" Jiang Manyue nodded with a smile, "But there's no rush."
"Leave me your phone number and I'll buy from you if I need it!"
"Haha, good, good!" The dormitory leader kicked the money into his pocket with satisfaction.
"Oh, that's right!" Jiang Manyue turned around to leave, and couldn't help feeling distressed when looking at the chicken coop and duck coop.
"The weather forecast says the temperatures will remain low for the next ten days."
"When a cold snap hits every 20 years, it's recommended to light a brazier in the chicken coop to keep warm, otherwise the losses will be even greater."
The dormitory head listened with gratitude: "Ah, OK, thank you, young comrade!"
When she returned home with the duck down, everyone was surprised to see that she had brought back a huge bag of feathers.
Jiang Wan covered his nose and frowned: "Man Yue, why did you buy so many duck feathers?"
"This duck smells so strong, so awful!"
"Mom, I bought the duck down to make clothes for you. I'll process it and the smell will be gone soon."
"Oh?" Jiang Wan couldn't help but wonder, "Really? Can duck down be used to make clothes?"
Qin Zhenbei was also looking forward to it: "Yes, full moon, I am really looking forward to how to make clothes!"
Jiang Manyue put all the duck feathers into warm water and poured in salt to wash them.
Aunt Wu saw that she was busy all the time and said, "Miss Manyue, I'll help you wash so much."
"What should I do with so much duck down after washing it?"
"First clean it, then dry it to get soft duck down."
"Putting this duck down inside your clothes makes a warm down jacket."
"Down jacket?" This was the first time Wu Ma had heard of this kind of clothing. "I've never seen clothes made of duck down before."
"Don't worry, you'll see it soon!" Jiang Manyue quickly cleaned the duck down with salt water.
Then I dropped some perfume on it to remove the smell. It is also very easy to dry it in the sun by just putting it in a bamboo basket.
Because the weather is bad and it is still snowing, I put it next to the charcoal brazier at home to dry.
Soon, the moisture on the duck down evaporated, and each individual feather was revealed.
After drying, there is still 15 kilograms of duck down.
Since she had nothing to do in the evening, she simply started making it in her room.
In fact, it has become popular in the 1980s. In this cold weather, there is nothing warmer than down jackets.
Make a pattern design and then produce it.
In order to prevent the down from leaking out, a fine fabric is used as the lining.
Then fix the down to prevent it from running around in the lining.
You should know that in the past few decades, down jackets are the most important clothing for keeping warm.
The next day, the sky was just getting light.
The charcoal brazier was quickly lit in the living room, but it still felt very cold.
Jiang Wan's cold was a bit serious again, and Father Lin was a little worried: "Why don't we go to the hospital for an IV later?"
"The flu has been really bad lately, and many soldiers in the military district have been infected."
"If it's serious, it could develop into pneumonia, so we can't be careless."
"I'm fine!" Jiang Wan glanced at the time: "I have to go to work today. I'll just take some medicine later."
"It's just that the weather is too cold. Wear more clothes when you go out later."
After breakfast, Lin's father and mother were getting ready to go out.
"Dad, Mom!" Jiang Manyue came down from upstairs at this time.
Holding the newly made clothes in her hands: "Wait a moment!"
Both of them were wearing too much, and they looked very bloated with several layers of clothes inside and outside.
"Man Yue, what's wrong?" Jiang Wan asked hurriedly when he saw his daughter coming.
"Dad, Mom, I just made a down jacket. You two can try it on."
