Originally, Chu Yu wanted to ask Pang Pang Haosheng to greet Emperor Kangxi, but now she felt that it was not necessary. Since the old man did not blame him, so let's do it.
It’s better not to get too close to your grandfather, right?
After Emperor Kangxi had a fuss with Pangpang for a while, he put Pangpang down and let him run around and play. Then he glanced at Chu Yu, who was standing playing quail:
"Fourth daughter-in-law, please sit down too. I have something to ask you."
Emperor Kangxi's tone was quite good, and he pointed to the position opposite him and Concubine De.
Chu Yu felt even more uneasy after hearing this, and glanced at Concubine De as if asking for help.
Concubine De didn't know what was going on with Emperor Kangxi at the moment, but she still nodded firmly to Chu Yu. No matter what, she always wanted to give the child a sense of security.
When Chu Yu saw Concubine De nodding, she was really relieved.
At that moment, he followed Emperor Kangxi's wishes and walked to the opposite side: "My daughter-in-law has thanked Emperor Ama. If you have anything to do, please give me instructions. My daughter-in-law will definitely know everything."
I don’t know what the big boss is asking.
Are you asking where she learned her skills?
At that moment, Chu Yu's whole body tensed up.
There was no response even when Pangpang hugged her legs.
Emperor Kangxi also noticed Chu Yu's nervousness, and felt funny at the moment. It was really strange that the fourth daughter-in-law was so afraid of him.
Then he said in a calm voice: "You don't need to be nervous. I'm just asking about your duck down clothes. Please tell me in detail how this thing was made."
When Chu Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I guess it was because Emperor Kangxi saw the benefits of the down jacket, so he came to ask her carefully, but she was a little strange, why Emperor Kangxi didn't ask the Fourth Master.
However, strangely enough, she still replied honestly:
"Back to Emperor Ama, these duck down clothes are still a bit labor-intensive, but my daughter-in-law and fourth master thought about it carefully and felt that it is not impossible to make them in large quantities. It just takes a little longer.
One piece of this fine duck down clothing requires the down of twenty ducks.
For longer and larger ones, the entire filling may require hundreds of them.
The hat is better, maybe the down of two ducks is enough.
It is best to use two layers of thick and tight cloth on the inside and outside of this type of clothing to prevent the lint from getting out over time and extend the service life of the clothing to the maximum extent. If you take good care of it, you can only wear it in winter and its lifespan will be longer.
Seven or eight years. Keeping warm is absolutely good.”
After saying this, Chu Yu paused and glanced at the faces of the two people.
She knew that it was not easy to make this thing now, and she didn't know whether Emperor Kangxi would agree to it.
Emperor Kangxi frowned heavily after hearing Chu Yu's words.
Cloth or something, he actually didn't feel embarrassed or anything.
Because I have to make clothes normally no matter what I am told to do on weekdays.
It’s just that duck feather…
In fact, not many farmers raise ducks nowadays.
If this piece of clothing requires hundreds of ducks, where can we get so many duck feathers?
You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers at her border. If each one has one, wouldn't that mean that all the duck feathers in his country will be plucked out?
At that moment, Emperor Kangxi felt that the clothes might not be made, and he felt disappointed for no reason.
"This thing consumes such a huge amount of ducks. Do you and Lao Si have any other ideas?" Although Emperor Kangxi felt that there might not be any good ideas, he was also willing to hear what they thought.
Concubine De's face looked a little weird at the moment. She didn't expect Lord Long Live to talk about these clothes later. However, after hearing Chu Yu explain it in detail, Concubine De felt that it was indeed difficult.
Chu Yu thought for a while and then said: "Back to Emperor Ama, my daughter-in-law and fourth master also felt that this matter was not easy to implement at first.
But after the two of us put it together, maybe we can simply raise a large number of ducks by ourselves.
This duck is full of treasures. The duck head, duck feet, duck heart and duck intestines can be made into braised meat. With the money from the sale, we can raise more ducks. We will keep the duck down to make clothes for the soldiers.
There is a barren mountain under the fourth master's name. We can reclaim that mountain. There is just enough space to plant some fruit trees on the mountain. There is also a river on the edge, which is perfect for raising ducks and geese.
At that time, less duck down will come out. We can first stuff some duck down into important places inside the clothes. This will have the effect of keeping warm without consuming too much duck down. After the ducks are raised, we can give them to them.
Make it warmer."
Chu Yu said with a look of longing on her face. She had always wanted to be a landowner. It would be really beautiful if there was such a mountain for her to manage in the future and plant some fields between the mountains and rivers.
That way, she doesn't have to be stuck in the house all the time. From time to time, she can go out with the fourth master for inspections. If this duck thing comes to pass, she will just go out to play under orders. It's not too beautiful.
Saying this, she looked at Kang Xilai and De Fei with bright eyes.
It's just that Emperor Kangxi and Concubine De's expressions were a little weird after hearing this, and they always felt that it was a bit unreliable. The cost of the duck was actually quite high. Besides, who would eat duck hearts, duck intestines, duck heads, and duck feet?
I remember that Chu Yu seemed to be sent here, but they didn't touch a bite.
It's just because the food is unappetizing at first glance. The head, head and feet are only eaten by poor families.
Emperor Kangxi thought that it was because of his kindness that he did not punish Chu Yu when he sent these things before. At this moment, he also had some hard-to-express feelings.
"Does Fourth think your method is feasible?" After a while, Emperor Kangxi asked.
Seeing the faces of these two people, Chu Yu knew that they might not believe him.
But those duck products from later generations sell so well.
The ones she made before were also very popular with several brothers.
Furthermore, since she was raising ducks using her identity as Emperor Ama, she didn't believe that those merchants would not give her face.
When the time comes, we will bring in Lao Jiu. That boy is the best at doing business.
The only thing to consider now is to find a few experienced people to raise it.
Of course, we still have to convince Emperor Kangxi in front of us.
At that moment, Chu Yu stood up and helped Fu Shen: "Go back to Emperor Ama, the fourth master said that he can let his daughter-in-law try it.
You see, how about this? My daughter-in-law goes back today to work out a plan, and you can take a look at a few plans first. If you think it's inappropriate, we can think of other ways."
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi nodded: "Please come and have a look."
Chu Yu immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then Emperor Kangxi said: "Just now, the fourth daughter-in-law said that she should collect some duck feathers and stuff them in the areas that need to be kept warm inside her clothes. This method is feasible."
