Chapter 70 Duvets and Down Jackets

Before he knew it, Lan'er, who was snuggling with Chen Ying, fell asleep. Chen Ying hugged Lan'er and placed it gently on the bed, and he fell asleep soon afterwards.

At some point, the night sky was covered with clouds. The sky was filled with clouds, the cold wind was howling, and the biting cold woke the sleeping Chen Yingyan up. Chen Ying looked up and found that Lan'er had shrunk into a ball.

In this era, the price of quilts was very high. Quilts were an important "family" of the ancients and one of the symbols of wealth. According to "Book of Liang: Biography of Pei Zhiheng", Pei Zhiheng did not learn well when he was a young man. In order to motivate him, his brother Pei Zhigao deliberately made a narrow quilt to cover him and only gave him vegetables. Pei Zhiheng swore: "A real man is rich and must make a hundred quilts!" Later, Pei Zhiheng became indeed prosperous and really made a hundred wide quilts.

In ancient times, two feet and two were one, which was about 51 centimeters into one. The hundred were the large quilts, which can be said to be the "first quilt in ancient times". It can be listed on the Guinness World Record today, but I don't know how to cover such a large quilt.

Chen Ying's quilt was frozen to the point of sleepiness, so he covered Lan'er's quilt, but Lan'er was still curled up. In the Tang Dynasty, cotton had not been promoted, and the fillings in the quilt were flocculents, such as reeds, willow catkins, worn cotton (silk-understoods), and thatch could be made of flocculents. Chen Ying's quilt was filled with catkins. Although the value was very high, its warmth was much worse than cotton.

Chen Ying stood up gently, put on a wolf's cloak, and came outside the house. At some point, the ground was covered with snow.

Although it was wearing a cloak, the cloak seemed to be like paper, and could not stop the cold wind as cold as a knife.

Looking at the falling snow in the sky, Chen Ying suddenly realized the problem. In such a cold weather, I don’t know how many people will be frozen to death on this night. After dawn, I don’t know how many people will cry from Chang’an City.

Although Chen Ying knew that cotton was an excellent material for cold protection, this cotton is still a rare object in the Tang Dynasty. At least Chen Ying had never seen cotton before. Even if cotton was promoted, it would not be able to be promoted or bloomed in a day or two.

However, Chen Ying knew that keeping cold was not a means of quilts and cotton coats, heating stoves and down jackets.

Suddenly, Chen Ying slapped his head and thought to himself that he was stupid.

Chen Ying is located in the city, known as one of the eight major down markets in China. Whenever in summer, the land of the entire town is foul and the air is dirty. Although the living environment of human beings is very poor, Chen Ying has free experience of a complete set of down processing and production processes.

Although down jackets are very common in later generations, not many people really understand the processing technology, and the down processing technology is actually not complicated. In this era, it can be done manually.

This not only protects the cold, but also opens up a source of wealth for Chen Ying.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the entire Chen Mansion was screamed by Chen Ying. The eighteen servants were trembling with cold, especially Li Chuqi's lips were frozen black and purple.

Chen Ying said: "Now I'll leave it to everyone, hurry up and go to the West Market to buy duck hair!"

"Langjun, why do you want that thing? You can't eat it or block the cold." Zhou Mancang, the oldest young man in Chen Ying, felt that it was necessary for him to tell the young man to be thrifty in his family.

"Don't worry about this, go out and buy duck hair!" Chen Ying said: "As long as the duck hair on the market is, you will have as much as you want, and you will be given five cents per catty."

Chen Ying felt that the price should be very fair. In later generations, down was more than 100 yuan per catty. Calculated the raw materials, the duck hair was converted to only more than 30 per catty for five cents, which should be cheap enough.

The six men scattered in a hurry, and each of them carried dozens of kilograms of money to the market to buy duck hair.

Mo Ao for half an hour, the coachman Lao Zhou was the first to come back. He drove out in a carriage. When he came back, he actually loaded a whole carriage, with more than 200 kilograms of duck hair.

However, what surprised Chen Ying the most was the money that Lao Zhou brought, which actually cost less than fifty yuan.

Lao Zhou looked at Chen Ying's surprised gaze and suddenly became proud.

Lao Zhou said: "I didn't buy duck hair. This thing is dirty and difficult to clean. I bought ten pots of wine and went to a few cooked butcher shops to get around. Each of them gave me all their useless duck hair!"

Chen Ying said: "Lan'er, remember that Lao Zhou's profits from doing things, rewarded 100 yuan, unloaded the goods, and continued to buy them. There are many and good things!"

When Lao Zhou heard that there was a reward for money, he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"My boss, please look at it, I'll pull all the duck hairs in Chang'an City!"

He Liu said: "Mr., what do we want to do?"

"Do as I said, clean the duck hair and put it in the pot for half an hour!"

He Liushi, Hongxiu, Luzhu and other maids quickly got together.

The down processing process is actually very simple, and it can basically be divided into three steps. The first step is to clean foreign objects, the second step is to high-temperature anti-virus, and the third step is to expand.

Because ducks actually have parasites, but also a large number of bacteria. Without this link, it is easy to cause skin diseases or other adverse effects when worn. Chen Ying does not have puffing technology now, and it is also the most critical high-tech thing. In fact, this does not affect the manufacturing of down jackets and down quilts. At most, it is just unpuffed down, which affects the beauty.

The four large pots of Chen's mansion were neatly filled with washed duck hair, covered the pot and set fire to disinfect the heat at high temperature.

After the duck hair was disinfected, Chen Ying discovered new problems.

It's snowing now, so it's not easy to dry naturally. However, the weather is too cold and time is not waiting for anyone. Chen Ying asked Liang Zan to invite a few bricklayers to convert the three debris into a drying room according to Chen Ying's design.

After more than 300 kilograms of duck hair that had been disinfected with high temperature were dried in the drying room, Chen Ying asked Lan'er, Luzhu, Hongxiu and other maids to start sewing down quilts.

Chen Ying, who was so cold that he had already had enough sleeping with a willow catkins and quilts every day. What he thought most was to sleep with a light down quilt.

Fortunately, these women's female red is very skilled and quickly completed the sewing of quilts without any technical content.

...

In the Pingyang Princess Mansion, although Princess Pingyang has a good system, Li Xiuning can only wait in the mansion when she is so angry that she can't get out of the way.

Li Xiuning, who still insisted on training, practiced swords on the snow until her forehead was slightly sweating, and then she returned the sword to the sheath.

At this moment, he watched the maid Cui'er walking towards her with a big red package holding a big red package.

"Lan'er, what is this?"

"Report to Your Highness the Princess, this was sent by General Chen!"

When he heard it was a gift from Chen Ying, a warm color appeared on Li Xiuning's face. Li Xiuning nodded undeniably.

"What are you?"

"General Chen is talking about what kind of down quilt is it."

“Down duvet?”

Li Xiuning looked at the down quilt that was four-piece wide and nearly one meter long in curiosity: "Will this kind of thing be missing in this palace?"
