Chapter 901: Making Money (9)
When it came to the local winter, the ladies present opened the conversation again, and they didn't know how bad they came at the beginning of last year, and adults and children all suffered great sins, and they were all bitter when they said it.
As soon as this topic opened, people immediately thought that this winter was coming, but the price of cotton rose, and even the price of cotton cloth was also rising, and people like them were okay, and they could still buy a few new clothes for their families after the price increase, but the soldiers and military households under them were still difficult to endure this winter.
Then, the topic ran to Qi Ke, the excitement went down, reason returned, the down jacket was very warm, but you also had to ask about the price.
Qi Ke's pricing is set with reference to the price of cotton and fabric this year, and the strategy is to make people feel that instead of spending a sum of money to cut new cotton clothes, it is better to use the same money to customize down jackets filled with duck down, goose down is a little more expensive than duck down, they are reluctant, but there are many rich people, as long as the news spreads, there will be people interested.
For this lady whose knees are not very good, Qi Ke said that he could use down as a petticoat with a length of half the calf, and then put on a long jacket on his body to keep his knees warm.
These suggestions are very exciting, because they do not affect what to wear in the outer shirt and skirt, but only a substitute for the cotton coat, which is worn under the outer shirt.
There are a few ladies who are not very good in the waist and are afraid of cold, and they have moved the idea of custom-made long jackets together, wrapped from the back to the legs, not subject to the cold wind, maybe they can be more comfortable this winter.
The long jacket is made of many materials, although it is filled with duck down, it is not cheap to make one, the cheapest is the duck down sleeveless gown, but the ladies have not taken a fancy to it, and they think that it is good to wear a short jacket and a long jacket for adults, only two people have children less than ten years old at home, and consider making it for children.

Qi Ke only requires that the fabric of the down jacket must be hers, and the style is completely open to others, especially the collar, there are many styles, which can be regarded as a careful machine on clothing, she is afraid that she will not be able to tell, and she also draws directly with a pen and paper for everyone to see, and draws more than ten kinds in one breath, and the neckline and cuffs have patterns, which are matched by Ren Jun.
The ladies couldn't put it down with the pattern, but they couldn't pick out the match they liked for a while, so they put the pattern back and pondered it slowly, and then followed the pattern and started a new topic, chatting about cutting new clothes, and felt that this pattern made on a down jacket was also quite suitable for use on the outer shirt.
Qi Ke, who was dealing with pen and ink, heard it, interjected, and spread out a large piece of white paper with his hand, and drew with a pen.
When the ladies saw her start writing again, they immediately gathered around her, and saw her draw all kinds of clothing patterns with a few brushstrokes on the paper, from the top to the skirt.
Qi Ke explained the meaning of the pattern while painting, what is matched with what has good intentions, and it is also a careful opportunity in clothing, the wives of low-level military attachés are not as good as those ladies with solid backgrounds, and they can't make gorgeous skirts that cost money and labor, so they only make skirts, and play tricks on the patterns of knee and bottom skirts.
Zhao Lin handed over a new tray in a timely manner, which contained a few plates of color ink that had just been adjusted, Qi Ke changed a clean brush to fill in the color on the pattern, after a few strokes, black and white changed color, and the effect suddenly changed greatly, causing the ladies to exclaim again and again, and some people simply wanted to do nothing without bothering the two masters, and customized a few more shirts and skirts here in Qi Ke.
Qi Ke was not hooked by these impulsive ladies, so he first finished drawing the patterns in his hands and handed them over, promising to wait until the sun went down and it was dark, and then he sent these three samples to them to try on overnight.
