The next day, a garbage guy came to the village, pedaling an old bicycle and shouting, "Collect the garbage!" Rotten copper, rotten iron, rotten rubber shoes! ”

In a rural village like Chujiazhai, from time to time, garbage guys will come down to collect garbage. These garbage mainly include waste paper, plastic, glass, metal and cloth.

Newspapers, magazines, books, all kinds of wrapping paper, office paper, cartons, etc., but paper towels and toilet paper are too water-soluble to be recyclable; Plastics mainly include various plastic bags, plastic packaging, disposable plastic lunch boxes and tableware, toothbrushes, cups, mineral water bottles, etc.; Glass mainly includes all kinds of glass bottles, broken glass pieces, mirrors, light bulbs, etc.; Metals mainly include cans, metal canning boxes, etc.; Fabrics mainly include discarded clothes, towels, school bags, cloth shoes, etc.

Hearing this, the children in the village went crazy and immediately went home and turned over the cabinets. In the past, these children relied on the garbage collectors to collect garbage, selling a little of the garbage they usually saved and getting some pocket money.

Although they are not short of that little money now, they have formed a habitual movement. For them, it's already a pleasure. Afterwards, there may be more garbage than who sells.

In the past, there were children who deliberately broke their slippers, and then they could be sold openly. Although it is sold cheaply, it costs more money to buy a new one, but children do not understand this truth. They know that the money from the sale of rotten shoes can belong to them, and the money from the purchase of new shoes will be paid by adults.

For this matter, many parents are very troubled. They are not clear? Sometimes these little ones don't want to wear shoes at all, and run around the village barefoot all day, how can a pair of shoes rot so quickly? It's an obvious problem! But there is nothing to be done!

"Do you have duck feathers at home?" The garbage guy asked.

He had come to this village before, but this time, he couldn't believe it. In the past, it was a very backward old village in the mountains, but now, people come and go, except for the buildings or mud brick houses. Everything else seems to have changed.

Chujiazhai has been developing rapidly recently, and he has heard about it, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking that everyone was exaggerating, and only after arriving, did he find out. I almost didn't recognize it.

Duck feathers are within the scope of their acquisition. And at this time, it is generally cheaper to buy duck feathers, and if you wait until winter to buy, it will be much more expensive. Duck feathers can be made into badminton or into down jackets.

The down jacket is filled with down filling, and the shape is large and rounded. Down jackets generally account for more than half of the amount of duck down, and at the same time, some fine feathers can be mixed with the duck down, the duck down is cleaned, sterilized at high temperature, and then filled in the clothes is the down jacket. Down jackets have better warmth. It is mostly worn by people in cold regions. It is also commonly used by polar expeditions.

The most common fillings in down jackets are goose down and duck down, which can be divided into white down and gray down according to color. According to the price, the down jackets on the market are sorted as: white goose down> gray goose down> white duck down> gray duck down, which may be affected by the order of selling price.

Many people therefore think that these fleeces are also ranked in this way in terms of quality. Not really. Through theoretical research and practical experience in down, experts feel that the color has little to do with the quality of down jackets, and there is not much difference between the warmth and fluffiness of goose down and duck down.

As for why white velvet is more expensive, the main reason is because white velvet is better than gray one, and it is not transparent in light or dark fabrics; Gray velvet, on the other hand, is picky and can only be placed in dark fabrics. Considering the light color of white, a wider range of suitable fabrics are suitable. The second reason: the fiber structure of white velvet. Its fibrous tissue is comparatively finer, softer, longer, and the fibrous length makes it more fluffy. It's easier to keep warm.

Duck feathers are generally collected from the whole duck feathers. According to the garbage guy's algorithm, it is usually how much a duck's feathers are calculated like this.

To make down jackets, they basically use those that don't have stalks. To do badminton, you need to have a stalk.

Fluff is a feather that grows between the neck and the chest and abdomen of water birds such as geese and ducks, and because the hair in this part is often soaked in water, it not only has a certain waterproofness, but also its warmth and cold resistance are the best among the whole body hairs. In addition, because the fluff in this part has no feathers, it is very soft, the fiber is long and the fluffiness is high, and the folding volume is small, so it is the best material for making down jackets.

The feathers in a down jacket refer to the hair on other parts of the body in addition to the fluff mentioned above, which is generally flaky and has a feather stem in the middle. Feathers have limited warmth and are not as good as fluff.

"I have a down jacket with duck feathers inside, which is very warm in winter." A tourist said.

"It's okay, I also saw one last time, and the price is not expensive." The other continued.

Hearing this, many people next to him booed, and these people secretly said: You are a rich man, of course it is not expensive! That thing, to them, is absolutely valuable.

"Before, I didn't know that these duck feathers could be used to make clothes. I was depressed at the time, collecting duck feathers? It stands to reason that you need those with hard stems to make badminton, what is the use of those fluffs? I actually collected them all together, and it turned out to be a down jacket. A man laughed.

At the beginning, he also bought one for his girlfriend, so he knew these situations. According to the waiter's introduction, there is also a big trick to buying down jackets.

First of all, smell the smell of the down jacket, and ignore it if you find it pungent or smelly. The waiter explained that the reason why goose down is more expensive than duck down is that goose down is odorless, while duck down is smelly. But as I have mentioned earlier, duck down and goose down are processed in the same way, and the smell of down is a substandard product and must not be bought.

Secondly, carefully touch the inner layer of the down jacket, if you feel prickly, it means that the content of feathers in this dress is high, and the quality should not be very good. If you don't prick your hands to the touch, it means that the down content of this dress is relatively high and the warmth is better.

Next, you can put several down jackets you like together, use the same force to press the surface of the garment separately, the faster the rebound time, the better the quality of the down jacket, that is, the high volume of the jacket. For down jackets with the same amount of down, the larger the volume, that is, the fluffier the down jacket, the better the quality.

Finally, if there is fluff or dust, it means that the fabric of this down jacket has poor down resistance or the stitch eye is too large, so the down jacket will be thinner, and the waterproof and breathable will not be too good, so it is not recommended to buy this kind of fabric.

Many of the children had already brought the duck feathers from home, asked the garbage guy about the price, and started trading!
