Bai Yuyao was curious in her heart, and her eyes shone even brighter.
Her husband is so amazing. The most common duck feathers can be used to make such an exquisite down jacket, and it is also so warm. It is like turning decay into something magical.
And, she spotted a business opportunity.
Down jackets can protect against cold and keep warm. Once sold on a large scale, they will definitely make a lot of money.
This is an opportunity to make money.
Bai Yuyao was excited and asked: "Husband, how are down jackets made? In the past two or three days, I saw you and Mr. Mo and the others working day and night to make them. I'm afraid it's difficult to make, right?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Actually, the production is very simple and not difficult. It's just that it's a little slow for the first time. Mo Twelve knows the specific process. Yuyao, are you planning to run the down jacket industry? ,Right?"
"My husband knows me."
Bai Yuyao nodded, feeling excited.
"In the past two days in Xianyang City, countless scholars have criticized my husband, thinking that he is not doing his job properly and that he is uncivilized. These people are short-sighted and have no eyesight. They are all a bunch of rats, and they dare to criticize my husband."
"It was difficult for me to say anything originally, because after all, the down jacket has not been made yet."
"Now, it's different."
"The down jacket is so warm. I feel extremely comfortable wearing it on my body. It is conceivable that once the down jacket is launched, elderly people, some powerful people and wealthy businessmen will definitely flock to it. I just don't know if it is easy to copy, and the price and production cost are high. not tall?"
Bai Yuyao has already made a decision.
Just do it.
She is not clear enough about the specific process, and is also worried that once down jackets are copied, more down jackets will easily appear.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's not that easy to imitate down jackets. Of course, the key to confidentiality is that the people who make the down jackets in the house must keep it secret. Those who know the whole process, namely Mo Twelve and Gao Xiaoyu, follow the whole process. It’s just that they won’t tell you. When you want to do large-scale production next, everyone will divide the work and the news will not leak out.”
Bai Yuyao said: "How to divide labor and cooperate?"
Lin Feng said: "It's actually very simple. The person doing the work is not responsible for the entire process, but only for one process. For example, after the duck feathers are collected, they need to select and remove the thick duck feathers, and then use rice water and soap locust water to wash them. Cleaning, that’s the first step.”
"The people at this step are only responsible for this matter and are not involved in the next step."
"The second step is to rub and disinfect with strong alcohol to minimize the odor. This is also the responsibility of a single person."
"The third step is to steam it twice in a steamer and sterilize it thoroughly, which is also the responsibility of a separate craftsman. As for the fourth step, it is a special and critical process to further draw the duck feathers to make them thin and remove the thick stems."
"The final fifth step is to sew it into the clothes to form a heating area and become a real down jacket. All craftsmen are only responsible for one step of their own. They are not familiar with the entire process. Who knows everything about division of labor and cooperation?"
"Even if someone wants to poach people, it doesn't matter. Because people in any process don't know what people in other processes are doing."
"Especially the fourth step, when drawing and elasticizing the down, the people who use this step must be slave craftsmen in the family. These are the sons of the Lin family, there is no way they can be betrayed, and since this step is kept secret, it cannot be copied."
"In addition, the price of down jackets should be relatively expensive, at least one tael of silver per piece. If the fabric used is better, the price will need to rise further. At today's cost, we bought about 40 pounds of duck feathers , spending about 400 Wen, you can get more than two kilograms of duck down, which can be used to make three or four pieces of clothing."
"You can further calculate the specific costs. In short, the more duck down there is in the clothes, the higher the price will naturally be."
Lin Feng explained the general situation.
For more details, Bai Yuyao can only rely on Bai Yuyao to figure out and set the price. After all, Bai Yuyao understands business better.
Lin Feng is just a general direction.
Bai Yuyao looked at Lin Feng, her eyes full of admiration, and said happily: "My husband is a scholar, but he is proficient in cooking and clothing making. He is even proficient in medical skills. My husband is so amazing."
Lin Feng smiled evilly and said, "Aren't you great in other aspects of your husband?"
Bai Yuyao's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she glanced at Lin Feng angrily, but was hugged by Lin Feng, and the two of them went directly to the room.
After some exercise, he became quiet again.
There was a trace of blush on Bai Yuyao's face, and her excitement still did not calm down. She continued: "Sir, I have already thought about our down jacket. Let's use the original channel merchants to see what they say? As long as they are willing to operate, Everything is fine. Well, it must be fine."
"It doesn't have to be this way."
Lin Feng said: "I have arranged everything. Our down jackets do not need to be marketed."
Bai Yuyao wondered: "How to do it?"
Lin Feng said: "Liang and his people are still working on the down jacket all night long. They will stay up late tonight to make it. I made one specially for the emperor's grandfather. I will send it to the palace tomorrow morning and ask the emperor's grandfather to put it on. Ask him to inscribe it again. With the inscription from the emperor’s grandfather, will it be difficult to sell these clothes? At that time, all we need to do is notify the opening time in advance.”
"Wonderful."
Bai Yuyao became excited.
Chance!
This is an opportunity!
Bai Yuyao leaned on Lin Feng, feeling happy in her heart, feeling that the Lin family was going to be prosperous again.
She just liked the feeling of making money. The two of them were talking in whispers, talking about down jackets. Unknowingly, it was even later, and they were emotionally moved. It took another long period of exercise before they fell asleep completely.
Nothing happened all night, and the next morning.
After Lin Feng got up, Bai Yuyao had already left. Lin Feng had long been used to it. He did some morning exercises and went to the courtyard where Mr. Liang was after breakfast. As soon as he entered, Mo Twelve had been waiting for a long time and said directly: "Master Marquis, the three clothes have been made. They are very good."
Lin Feng also took three pieces of clothing from Liang's hands. He looked at them carefully. Liang took the initiative and said: "Master Marquis, because there is a lot of duck down left, the slave added a little more during sewing. The range is slightly larger. Have a look, can it be done?"
Lin Feng looked down carefully, with an approving smile on his face. The duck down stitching of the three pieces of clothing was excellent, and the overall appearance of the robes was not affected at all. It looks still majestic and not obtrusive.
After reading it, Lin Feng praised: "Ms. Liang, you did a good job. I am very satisfied with the clothes this time. Next, the family will make clothes on a large scale, and you will do it too. Such a thing is considered It’s wages. You can just take care of the house’s affairs on the side.”
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness."
Mrs. Liang knelt down with a plop.
She was excited. Being able to do things directly was equivalent to another amount of income. Although she is from the Lin family, she has no worries about food and clothing. The problem is that making more money would be great for her and would allow her children to live a better life.
Lin Feng said: "Get up."
He looked at Mo Twelve and ordered: "Yu Yao will contact you later. You have full assistance in the production of the down jacket."
"Here!"
Mo Twelve also quickly agreed.
Lin Feng took a robe belonging to Ying Jiuxiao, left the Lin family's residence, and went straight to the imperial city. He did not need to report when entering or leaving the imperial city, he entered directly, and only when he arrived outside the main hall did the servants announce him.
Not long after, the chamberlain came out and invited Lin Feng to enter.
Lin Feng entered the main hall, Ying Jiuxiao sat above him, and said with a smile: "Lin Feng, you came to the palace early in the morning. You always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Is it possible that you have something to do when you come today? Could it be that you have something to do? Something went wrong with the purchase of duck feathers, do you need my help?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said seriously: "Grandfather, I purchased the duck feathers to make clothes. Now, the finished product has been made and sent to you specially."
Ying Jiuxiao also knew this in his heart.
However, he did not show it. Instead, he looked curious. In fact, he felt more like disbelief. He said, "Lin Feng, can you wear clothes made of duck feathers? The smell of duck feathers makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it." Ah. It’s not that I don’t believe you, I just find it incredible.”
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Grandfather, how about we make a bet?"
"How to bet?"
Ying Jiuxiao also became interested.
Lin Feng said: "If the down jacket I make can satisfy the emperor's grandfather, you can give me an inscription. What do you think?"
"I'm sure."
Ying Jiuxiao answered directly.
He was even more curious about how Lin Feng could come up with a suitable down jacket, since duck feathers had a smell.
If it’s really done, there’s no harm in inscribing it.
Lin Feng ordered: "Bring in the clothes."
After finishing his words, Gao Xiaoyu entered holding the robe, which was specially made for Ying Jiuxiao. The clothes are the right size and are black. Lin Feng took it, handed it to Wang Shun, and said, "Grandfather, I can only roughly remember your height and physique. There may be some inconsistencies. I will make it for you separately later."
Ying Jiuxiao looked at the black down jacket in Wang Shun's hand, looked it over carefully, and said: "Lin Feng, your robe is still made of cloth, why is it made of duck feathers? Even if you get close to me, it doesn't have any smell. . Are you trying to trick me by selling sheep over dogs?"
Lin Feng said: "Grandfather, please look carefully. The slightly bulging areas include the chest and back, as well as the lower abdomen and arms. These areas are filled with duck down. This is the key to keeping warm. Please take off your clothes." Put on your robe first and then talk about it."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded in agreement, took off the outermost cloak, and then took off the layers of robes.
There is no way, the weather is cold, so I can only wear more clothes.
This is the current environment.
After Ying Jiuxiao took off her robe, she felt the air-conditioning hit her, making her very uncomfortable. Even though there were charcoal pots burning in the palace to dispel the chill, he still felt a little cold. Ying Jiuxiao quickly put on the down jacket, and even before putting on the cloak, she felt her body relaxed, and warmth soon came over her.
And this robe is very light.
In the winter, I was wrapped in layers of robes and felt very bulky, but there was nothing I could do to keep out the cold.
I only wear one piece now, which is worth the many pieces I wore before.
"It feels good, warm."
Ying Jiuxiao patted the swollen area, and as soon as he patted it, it shrank directly. After I took my hand away, it expanded again and there was no heavy feeling.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Grandfather, although it is a little cold in the hall, it is actually burning with coals and you can't feel it. Only when you really go outside can you feel the beauty of the down jacket. You will know it when you go outside the hall."
Ying Jiuxiao strode out.
He opened the door of the hall, and a cold wind blew suddenly. Although the cold wind penetrated my neck and felt a little cold on my face, I felt nothing at all and my body was still warm.
Ying Jiuxiao was shocked inside.
Incredible.
This down jacket is simply unprecedented, unheard of and unseen.
warm!
Windproof!
Under normal circumstances, you wear a cloak when you go out. Even so, when you stand outside, the cloak cannot stop the wind. Even if you wear a lot of clothes, the cold wind will penetrate layer by layer and make you shiver.
The down jacket is not breathable at all, but it is still very warm.
Ying Jiuxiao looked incredulous and said: "Lin Feng, this down jacket is not simple, it is indeed warm. I have also seen duck feathers before. The duck feathers are so soft that they are so soft. There is no trace of them. Feeling. The place filled with duck feathers is very soft."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Grandfather, the duck feathers that are rushed in have been processed through multiple processes. Even this can no longer be called duck feathers, it should be called duck down, which is the finest down. Only such duck down can keep you warm. Windproof and odorless.”
"Not bad, I'm not bad."
Ying Jiuxiao turned around and returned to the main hall, feeling very comfortable.
After he sat down, he smiled and said: "Tell me, you want a word, what word do you want?"
Lin Feng said with a smile: "I am going to let Yuyao be in charge of the business of down jackets. She will open a shop in the city to sell them. I beg the emperor to grant me the words 'No. 1 in the world'. With the signature of the emperor, a plaque will be hung on the business of down jackets." The shops are a huge publicity."
"You kid, you're a ghost."
Ying Jiuxiao chuckled.
He didn't refuse. He picked up his pen and wrote four words - No. 1 in the world.
The power of Ying Jiuxiao's words can be seen from the back of the paper, showing vigor and sharpness. Every move and pull of the hook is like a sword.
Everywhere is extremely powerful.
It is said that words are like people.
Lin Feng carefully put it away and said, "Thank you, Grandfather."
Ying Jiuxiao talked to Lin Feng again about the reform of sharing the land between small households and farmers, but after sitting for a while, he felt a little warm all over. Ying Jiuxiao was even more surprised and said: "Lin Feng, down jackets are not simple. I am now , it's actually a bit hot. This robe is completely fine for walking outside. It's even warmer inside the house. It's convenient, it's so convenient."
He took off his robe directly and put on an ordinary robe. After all, he could keep warm in the hall, so it was very hot wearing a down jacket.
Ying Jiuxiao changed the topic and suddenly said: "One more thing. I will attack Gaochangguo after the spring. As the coach, do you feel any pressure?"
"No pressure."
Lin Feng answered confidently and said directly: "With General Xun Peng and General Meng Ao here, and the Qin army is invincible. A small country like Gaochang is not worth mentioning. This battle will definitely be a sure victory. "
"That's good."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded and answered.
Lin Feng has this momentum, which is naturally excellent.
At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly entered and saluted: "Your Majesty, Wang Shangshu wishes to see you."
Ying Jiuxiao did not answer immediately, but quickly took off the clothes he had just put on, put on his down jacket again, and then ordered: "Pass."
When the chamberlain went to deliver the order, Lin Feng looked a little strange.
What is the emperor doing?
I just took off my down jacket and now I put it on again. Isn’t it too hot in the hall?
Lin Feng was too lazy to ask, so he stood up and said, "Grandfather, the down jacket has been delivered, and I am ready to go back."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "What's the rush? It's not too late to go back after meeting Wang Tang. I want Wang Tang to see how warm the down jacket is? Just look at it. He said before that duck feathers are of no use. I have seen and seen. .”
Lin Feng chuckled.
When he collected duck feathers before, many people didn't approve of it, including Bai Yuyao.
Now, it is also recognized.
The down jacket smells so good when you wear it.
Wang Tang is no exception here.
