Grandma Luo was a little stunned when she saw Luo Xiaoqiao coming back alone with seven ducks.

Why didn't he look at people in a blink of an eye, and slaughtered the ducks.

"Xiao Qiao, you're too anxious", Luo Xiaoni was also a little stunned, she was halfway through the meal, and the duck was slaughtered, could it be that she wanted to eat ducks at night?

"Grandma, which of you will handle duck feathers? Quick, come and do me a favor, I want the feathers on the duck's belly", Luo Xiaoqiao didn't notice their expressions, and said a little eagerly.

"Girl, I'll come", Aunt Wei happened to come back too, and took a wooden barrel in her hand.

"I used to help people cook, saying that after the duck is slaughtered, the duck feathers are soaked in cold water first, and then scalded with hot water, and a small spoonful of salt is added to the hot water to blanch the duck, and the fluff can be cleaned."

As she spoke, she quickly disposed of all seven ducks.

Luo Xiaoqiao looked at the messy pile of hairs piled on the ground, which were still wet and spicy, exuding a burst of fishy smell, and he couldn't get his hands on it.

"Girl, what else are you going to do, you say, I'll do it", Aunt Wei looked at her expression and felt a little funny.

Luo Xiaoqiao touched her nose, she was really not squeamish, it was just this smell, it was really disgusting. Since someone does it for her, she's not welcome.

"Aunt Wei, you collect the wool first, dry the boiling water, wash it with the same water that washes the wool, and then wash it with water after washing......

Luo Xiaoqiao thought for a while, although feathers and wool are different, let's try it first, and then find another way.

The others were no longer busy cooking, and watched them work one by one.

Luo Xiaoqiao thought about it, it should be cleaned, degreased, disinfected, and dried.

Right... Anyway, it doesn't have to be.

Aunt Wei had already put the cleaned and defatted feathers and down in a muslin bag, tied her mouth, put it on the steamer drawer, and steamed it for half an hour.

"Xiao Qiao, can you taste it by tossing it like this?" Grandma Luo still didn't believe it.

"Try it, I'm not sure", Luo Xiaoqiao put the cloth bag under his nose and sniffed it, it seemed that it still smelled fishy.

"It doesn't seem to work, is it because the temperature is not enough?" Luo Xiaoqiao thought about it for a long time, turned his head to look at the coal next to him, and really remembered that it should be high temperature disinfection.

She simply called Old Man Wang over, the steam engine is still in the process of improvement, but you can use the high-temperature steam to try it.

They tossed for most of the night, and early the next morning, Aunt Wei steamed it again according to last night's procedure, and then spread all the eiderdown on the mat and put it in the sun.

The winter sun wasn't that warm, but the ventilation was good, and the eiderdown dried quickly.

Luo Xiaoqiao doesn't have any good way to detect it, just smell it with his nose, pinch it with his hands, and feel it through the five views.

In such humble conditions, I steamed it four or five times, and finally it smelled tasteless.

Luo Xiaoqiao put all the dried duck down together and let a few people feel it.

Su Kongqing watched her toss all day, paced casually, reached out and grabbed a handful, white, warm, clutched into a small ball in his hand, but when he opened it, it would bounce fluffy.

He couldn't help but scratch it again and again: "This is the duck's feather?" ”

Su Kongqing was a little incredulous, he watched them toss from beginning to end.

I didn't expect that just a wet pile of duck feathers would be like this when dealt with. It is soft and elastic to the touch.

"Yes", Luo Xiaoqiao breathed a long sigh of relief: "After the duck down is done, it can be made into clothes, and it can also be made into quilts, compared with cotton clothes and quilts, it is more breathable and soft, and it is also warmer." I think it's going to be a big hit. ”

Luo Xiaoni also grabbed a handful and said with a smile, "Really, there is no taste at all." ”

"Sister, how do you make clothes? Say it quickly, I can't help but want to see it now", Luo Xiaoni was a little anxious.

"Eldest sister, you take out the silk that Brother Zhiping gave you and use that to make it", Luo Xiaoqiao looked at her narrowly.

Luo Xiaoni's face turned red instantly, but she still turned around and entered the house.

Their family uses cotton cloth on weekdays, and silk is not prepared, and there is indeed only such a horse.

The liner of the down jacket should be soft, and silk is the only substitute Luo Xiaoqiao can think of.

Grandma Luo, Aunt Wei and Luo Xiaoni, all three of them are good at working as female workers. Luo Xiaoqiao said that now the number of ducks is not enough, first make down shoulders, and then make down jackets after the raw materials are enough.

Several people were extremely fast, and Luo Xiaoqiao watched from the side, asking them to use quilting techniques to make the inner liner. The so-called quilting is to sew the clothes into "compartments", and then fill them with down, which solves the problem that down will gradually be deposited into the lower part of the clothes and unevenly distributed.

She calculated that about seven ducks had enough fluff to make a short down jacket. But if it is dismantled, it is made of four pieces.

"Little Joe, the clothes are really good." Luo Xiaoni tried to wear it, it was really warm and comfortable, and it was extremely soft.

"It's good", Luo Xiaoqiao couldn't stop nodding, "Work harder, make all those duck feathers into clothes today"

"But what about the ducks? We can't eat so much, and the duck meat tastes fishy, I'm afraid it's not easy to sell," Luo Xiaoni thought long-term.

Luo Xiaoqiao pouted, I was afraid that I would have to do something to buy and return the pearls first, and I had to sell the ducks first.

"Mingyi, you go to see if Wang Gongzi is there, invite him to come tomorrow, and say that I will invite him to eat delicious food."

Luo Xiaoqiao is very clear about his positioning, the Luo family has no background, and it is not suitable to compete with large families in the market.

Therefore, she never directly does the food business, she only processes finished products or raw materials, and anyone who comes to her to get the goods can hide behind the scenes, so as not to make more people worry about it.

When Luo Xiaoqiao turned his head to walk out, he suddenly paused when he saw the pouting young man in the corner.

Feng Ershao seems to have some opinions about her old care for Wang Jinqiao, and there is a messenger here, so let's just call it together.

She beckoned to Su Kongqing: "Young Master Su, please bring a word"

"What?" Su Kongqing was a little hairy when he saw Luo Xiaoqiao when he went back to the county office.

He's such an upright and upright good boy, he really can't stop this girl's fancy intestines, don't be cheated one day.

"You go and call the second young master, I will invite him to eat something good tomorrow, it is absolutely delicious", Luo Xiaoqiao said while yearning.

"Hmph, we have closed the mansion, we haven't eaten any delicious food, it's rare and weird", Su Kongqing couldn't breathe out of his nostrils and talk to her.

"You've never seen this delicacy of mine. You just say whether to go or not, go back and delay Ershao to make money, if he wants to complain about me, I will push you", Luo Xiaoqiao pushed him.

"You, you're not big or small", Su Kongqing was defenseless and was pushed out of the threshold by her.

"Cheng", Su Kong nodded angrily: "I'll pass you a message, I want to see what you can do"

"Hey, when you go, remember to remind Er Shao, bring me a piece of what you found."

Su Kongqing: ...
