Chapter 34 The Secret Cave

 As for himself, Du Yun looked at the clothes and the like on the shopping platform and felt that they were difficult to deal with.

Doing so much is enough to make people jealous.

Even if you don’t count this quilt, you still have two pairs of cotton-padded clothes.

You can leave the quilt at home, and you won’t notice it until you enter the house. Even if you see a quilt you made, it’s nothing.

Unless you are a person in charge of things like a aunt, who knows that in addition to cotton clothes and trousers, you also made a bed and bedding, others will not know.

But the cotton-padded clothes they wore were eye-catching enough, so I asked you how you did it.

According to the cotton coupons issued this year, the amount of cotton collected by the whole family may not be enough to make a set of cotton-padded clothes. Each of you has one set and a set of bedding. How did you do it?

Don't mention the pigeon market. There aren't that many pigeon markets, so there's no way to explain it at that time.

He could collect duck feathers and pretend to make down jackets, but actually buy one from a shopping platform, and then someone would report him.

It’s true that people in ancient times didn’t know that down can keep people warm. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, China used the feathers of birds and animals to make feather coats, which were called “velvet clothes”.

But down jackets have not developed much for thousands of years.

The failure to make down into clothes is partly due to the difficulty in collecting down, and the most important thing is that it has holes.

The gaps between the cotton fabrics are relatively large. If the down is stuffed in, it will come out of the holes in less than two days, and the original down jacket will directly become two layers of fabric.

It wasn't until the emergence of nylon that this situation changed.

Nylon is different from cotton, with a tighter texture and smaller surface holes, which greatly alleviates the disadvantage of feather threads drilling out along the cotton texture, and down jackets gradually appear in people's field of vision.

In China, down jackets didn’t appear until the 1970s and 1980s. I’m asking you how you made them.

The best way is to get a few deer.

Not only can they be sold to factories to earn income, but they can also be used to wear leather clothes.

Warm deerskin is the best choice for keeping warm.

For people living near the Arctic Circle, deerskin clothing is the most common clothing they wear. Excellent deerskin clothing can withstand severe cold temperatures of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius.

A reporter once put on polar boots and a down jacket from a well-known outdoor brand and stayed outdoors at minus 40 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.

According to the manufacturer, these polar boots can keep your feet warm for 20 minutes without moving.

But in fact, after more than ten minutes, the reporter's toes slowly lost feeling, and finally the entire sole of the foot lost feeling.

However, wearing deerskin boots still feels warm during the same period of time, which shows the thermal insulation performance of deerskin clothing.

In addition to outerwear, it can also be used as underwear. For example, when Uncle Yu, who smokes, perms his hair and drinks, was said to be wearing mink, that is, mink thongs, everyone would probably find it incredible and laugh.

However, compared to mink, sealskin is a common thing, and various decorations are also put on it.

It can only be said that art comes from life.

Having made up his mind, Du Yun immediately decided to get a deerskin coat. Of course, there was no rush at the moment, as long as it was done before the blizzard came.

It seems like it will snow soon, so we have to hurry up.

On Saturday night, Du Yun rode off to his grandfather's house in Dujiacun.

He brought two pheasants over. After all, they are grandparents, so you have to show respect.

By the way, I will stay in Dujiacun for two days. When I return on Monday, I can publicize the wild deer I hunted in the mountains.

Carrying two pheasants, Du Yun came to his grandparents' house, shouted happily, and then said, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm here to see you again."

The two old men were very happy to see him, but when they saw the pheasants he brought, the grandfather immediately scolded him, "You can't even eat anything you take, and you don't care about us. Take it back and eat it yourself when you leave."

"I made this on the road, just to honor you."

That's what happened, but why would anyone believe it? Now I don't even have enough food to eat, let alone two pheasants.

They haven't had such good meat for several years, and even the meat was brought by Du Yun when he came last time.

Grandpa was very moved. He held his hand tightly with his rough hands and said, "Good grandson, you are so kind to grandpa."

Du Yun touched his nose awkwardly, why did this sound so awkward?

But this is indeed my own grandfather, so we can’t say anything more.

"You haven't eaten yet, let your grandma cook some food."

"No, I brought a little to honor you."

Du Yun pointed to his car handle. There were meals he brought on it, which he could eat with his grandparents.

He has no interest in eating their food. It's not that he dislikes it, but that he can't get used to it.

The food in the city is not good, and it is even worse in the village. For a long time, I have been filling my stomach with dried sweet potatoes.

If it's not enough, sweet potato stalks can be ground into flour and used to fill the stomach, which really means even pigs won't eat it.

He was not interested in eating that, so of course he had to get something good and eat it with the old man.

After staying at home for one night, people in the village went to repair canals on Sunday, and Du Yun found a sunny place to bask in the sun and chat with his grandparents.

It didn't take long for Du Yun to feel that he couldn't go on like this.

Originally, he planned to wait until Monday morning to go back, pretending to work hard, crawling around in the mountains for a day and two nights, and then finally caught a few wild deer.

Show your hard work in front of everyone and let them know about the wild deer that you worked so hard to catch.

Not only can you sell deer to the factory, but you can also harvest a deerskin coat yourself.

Then, not only will you make a lot of money, but you can also legally get a deerskin coat.

But he couldn't stay in Dujia Village every day. After staying in the village for a long time, he gradually realized that he couldn't continue like this.

Although the method he used was to buy from the shopping platform and send it to the steel rolling mill, where he earned the price difference.

But in other people's eyes, it means that he goes to the mountains to hunt every day and stays in Dujiacun every day.

If someone discovers that he didn't go up the mountain when he was hunting, but stayed in his hometown to honor the elderly, I'll ask you what you want to do.

It is a good thing to be filial to the elderly, but how do you get the prey? You have to go through this process.

Every time I go hunting in the mountains, I always stay in my hometown. Sooner or later, I have to go hunting.

So in order not to betray anyone, we have to stay in the mountains for two days, and we have to do the show.

I don't want to. It's not ordinary hardship in the mountains. He has no interest in staying in the mountains.

But in order to prevent his hunting career from being betrayed, he has to show off.

Maybe you can find a cave in the mountain and live there when you go up the mountain.

Of course it is not a naturally formed cave, the kind that is winding and narrow, making it difficult for people to get in, but a grotto.

This is still very simple. Over the past few decades, people have discovered many undiscovered treasures.

If he remembered correctly, there were still many grottoes that had not been discovered.

There are still many existences around Sijiucheng.

For example, the Yanqing Grottoes were not discovered until 1984. There are 174 stone chambers, which are layered up and down based on the mountains. It is very spectacular.

If he can get there and be careful not to be discovered, he can definitely use it until the 1980s.

It's just that it's far away from the city, more than 100 kilometers away.

The grotto he was going to was on a mountain only dozens of kilometers away from the city.

It wasn’t discovered accidentally until more than 1990.

It can be used for decades until the 1990s and then be discarded.

If he hid carefully, he was confident that no one would discover the cave in year 00.

It can definitely be his secret base.
