Xiao Qi couldn't wait to take the little jacket made by Niu to the opposite door to show Pear Blossom: "This little jacket is very warm, but the duck feathers are always drilled out, my mother said that it should be good to sew an extra layer of cloth, Sister Pear Blossom, don't you have old clothes picked from the town, hurry up and take it out, and we will make a duck feather jacket for the little mouse to wear." ”

The two worked together for a long time, made a small jacket for the little mouse, sewed two layers of cloth, and the duck feathers were really not so easy to get out.

Pear Blossom took the finished jacket in her hand and praised: "This jacket is so light in your hand, it must be comfortable to wear." ”

The little mouse put on a duck feather jacket and ran happily around the yard a few times, and Lihua wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and told him: "Don't run anymore, I've sweated so much, and I'll get cold when the wind blows." ”

Xiao Qi: "I see that duck down is the softest, and it is warm and light when worn on the body, and it will definitely be popular." Sister Lihua, why don't we buy some brightly colored cloth and come back and make duck down into a small jacket to sell. ”

Rika smiled: "It's a good idea, it's already very cold now, and you can sell it as soon as you make it." We sell the good duck down as jackets, and the little duck feathers are kept for our own use – but it costs money to buy cloth. ”

Xiao Qi: "This is easy to do, I'll go to Aunt Xi to invest, and when we make money, we will return the capital to her, and give her some shares." ”

Rika nodded in agreement, she felt that making clothes was much easier than weaving baskets, and her fingers were very sore, she looked down at her hands, and calluses had grown on her fingers.

Xiao Qi: "Sister Lihua, the stinky duck eggs in the village often ask me if I have anything to do for him, so it is better to ask him to help us pick up duck feathers." I learned needlework from Granny Hua, and I got by, and I'll help you make duck feather jackets at home when the time comes. ”

Xiao Qi took the duck feather jacket to Hua Xi'er's house to show Hua Xi'er: "Aunt Xi, this is what my mother made for me, I wear it very warmly, that is, the hair will drill out, and sewing an extra layer of cloth can solve this problem." ”

"But we don't have the capital, you help us invest some, I discussed it with Sister Lihua, and then I will give you a share in addition to the capital."

Hua Xi'er took the duck feather jacket and looked at it inside and out: "This little jacket is quite light in my hand, it looks good, okay, I invested this money." ”

Hua Xi'er took five taels of silver from the box and handed it to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi waved his hand: "Aunt Xi, you don't need so much, do you have any broken silver?" ”

Hua Xi'er: "Take it first, just pay me back the extra money when the time comes." ”

Xiao Qi was no longer polite, and happily took the silver: "Aunt Xi, you just wait for my good news." ”

Hua Xi'er: "When you buy the cloth back, I will take Mrs. Zhao to Lihua's house to help." ”

After Xiao Qi left the Hua family, she went to find the stinky duck egg, and she said to the stinky duck egg: "Didn't you ask me to arrange a job for you last time?" You'll help us pick duck feathers from tomorrow and send them to Ewha House, but you're not sure how much money you can give you, do you want to do it? ”

The stinky duck egg looked determined: "Do it, I'll do it, follow the little seventh girl to have meat to eat." ”

Xiao Qi asked him, "Do you know where to pick?" ”

"I know, there are often duck feathers thrown outside the restaurants in the town, and there are often duck feathers picked in those places where happy events are held."

Xiao Qi and Pear Blossom went to the town together to buy several brightly colored ingredients, including peach, tender yellow, and two kinds with small flowers.

Stinky Duck Egg is a talent, and on the first day he went to town, he picked up a lot of duck feathers.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but praise him: "Stinky duck egg, you are really clever." ”

"I have a friend in the town, he often goes to Guxian County, I heard him say that there is a very good business selling roast duck there, and he can sell many pieces a day, I have told him today, let him help pick up the duck feathers from the roast duck shop for me." ”

The stinky duck egg stood in the courtyard of the Lihua family, and after a while, he spoke again: "Little Seventh Girl, I, I want to eat your steamed steamed buns." ”

Xiao Qi readily agreed: "Okay, you pick up duck feathers well, the steamed bun is fine." ”

Five or six days later, the rotten duck eggs and duck feathers were discovered by Peach Blossom Niang, who twisted his ears and taught him a lesson: "I didn't give you money, so you helped them pick up these stinky things in vain, you said that you are not a fool, and you are not allowed to go again in the future." ”

Hearing that Peach Blossom Niang didn't let the stinky duck eggs pick up the duck feathers, Pear Blossom frowned and looked at the few remaining duck feathers: "Duck feathers can only be used until tomorrow at most." ”

Xiao Qi: "It's okay, Sister Lihua, it's almost the New Year, and this business can't be done for a few days, the day after tomorrow, my father doesn't need a carriage, and we will take all the finished duck feather jackets to the town to sell." ”

Several people worked overtime together to make all the inventory into duck feather jackets, a total of more than ten pieces, large and small, bright colors, put together a feeling of a hundred flowers.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to go to the town, Xiao Qi and Pear Blossom put all the newly made duck feather jackets on the carriage, and also brought the table to set up the stall, and set off with great anticipation.

When they arrived at the market, the two of them chose a place, spread the assembled cloth on the table, and then put the brightly colored eiderdown jacket on the table, which immediately attracted many onlookers.

Pear Blossom is wearing a peach-colored duck feather jacket today, and her little face is as delicate as a begonia flower.

There is such a vivid sign as pear blossom, and after a while, two eiderdown jackets were sold.

Xiao Qi saw a girl with red phoenix eyes standing in front of the stall for a long time and was reluctant to leave, and greeted her warmly: "Which one does my sister like?" ”

Danfengyan girl: "I really want to pick one to wear, but unfortunately these pieces on the stall are too small." ”

Seeing that the girl was wearing a gold bracelet in her hand, she should be a rich man, so she said: "You pay a deposit first, leave the address, I will measure the size for you, and I will send it to you the day after tomorrow, do you think this is okay?" ”

The girl with Danfengyan was overjoyed, and directly took out a dime of silver and handed it to Pear Blossom: "The clothes want this color on your body, this is one or two silver, and the extra money should be used as a reward, you help me pick a little better material to make, and send it to the gate of the opera garden the morning after tomorrow, and tell him to find the little peach, everyone knows me." ”

After the Danfengyan girl left, Pear Blossom praised: "This girl is so beautiful, her eyes seem to be able to speak." ”

Xiao Qi reminded him: "Sister Lihua, we have no duck feathers." ”

Pear Blossom: "It's okay, didn't I make a duck feather quilt in front of my house, and when the time comes, there will be duck feathers, anyway, now that I have money, I can buy some cotton and go home to make quilts." ”

After about half an hour, more than ten jackets were all sold out, and a total of more than three taels of silver were obtained, and both of them had smiles on their faces, and this joy lasted for a long time.

The two packed their things, bought cloth from the cloth house, and immediately got busy again when they returned home.

Smoothly and smoothly gave the duck feather jacket to the Danfengyan girl, and the two returned home and took out the money and counted it, feeling like a dream.

After the two discussed, they decided to give the stinky duck eggs according to the salary of ten cents a day, Xiao Qi took out the capital and the wages of the stinky duck eggs, and divided the rest of the money into three parts, Xiao Qi, Pear Blossom, and Hua Xi'er each one.

Each person shared more than one or two pieces of silver, and the eyes of the pear blossom were full of water, and they were thrillingly beautiful: "I really can't imagine that I can make so much money by making duck feather jackets." Xiao Qi, thank you so much this time. ”

The next day, when Xiao Qi went to Hua's house, he put the capital and the more than one or two pieces of silver he had distributed on Hua Xi'er's desk, and thanked Hua Xi'er: "Aunt Xi, thanks to you this time, otherwise we wouldn't have made so much money." ”

Hua Xi'er: "I just mentioned it casually, and I don't know if this thing will work, you have figured it out yourself from beginning to end." “

Hua Xi'er received the money into the box and continued: "Next time you do such a business, you should make a contract, and write how to divide it in advance, so it is better." ”

Xiao Qi: "Okay, Aunt Xi, I remember." ”

The stinky duck egg was very happy to get the salary, but it was confiscated by the peach blossom girl before it was hot, and the peach blossom girl counted the money several times, and was very surprised: "I didn't expect to get so much money for picking up duck feathers for a few days." ”

The stinky duck egg raised his chin: "Of course, there is meat to eat with the little seventh girl." ”

Peach Blossom Lady sighed: "If I knew to pick up more, we could make a duck feather jacket ourselves." ”

Xiao Qi and Pear Blossom made duck feather jackets to make money, and it quickly spread in the village, but at this time, duck feathers had become very sought-after and it was difficult to pick them up.

The wisdom of the working people cannot be underestimated, the villagers know how to be flexible, rabbit fur and wool are used as jackets, this winter, for the people of Liujia Village is finally not too cold.
