Chapter 80 Down Jacket

The next day, they didn't get to eat boiled fish.

That night, there was a strong wind and a blizzard. This was their first blizzard this winter.

On weekdays, snow can only be called heavy snow. When it's a blizzard, visibility is very low and the wind is very strong. Basically, people can't go out of the house.

They all huddled in the cave. Except when the wind is light, they can go out to simply sweep and select. On weekdays, there is no way to go out.

Fortunately, everyone has something to do now, and they can hide in the cave to make quilts with peace of mind.

Xiazhi squatted on the bed and sewed the cut pieces of clothing.

This heavy snow lasted for five days.

Xiazhi made a cotton coat in two days.

Fortunately, she bought a zipper at the supply and marketing cooperative. This kind of zipper coat is warmer than a button coat.

Especially like those cotton coats in later generations, it has a waist design.

Elastic bands are used in the cuffs and neck, and the fabric can be well closed and windproof.

Although cotton has a lot of lint, Xia Zhi made the coat into a square pattern.

It doesn't look so bloated.

There is also a hat on the coat, and the brim is also elastic.

It's really hard to find rabbit skin or fur recently, otherwise I can make a fur hat, which is probably very enviable.

After Xia Zhi's clothes were made, Liu Zhiyan was the first to jump up and be a model.

I watched Xia Zhi make clothes these two days, and I was itching to do it there.

It's natural for women to like clothes.

Especially beautiful clothes, who would like the big red cotton jacket with red flowers on their body.

Although you can wear a blouse outside, it is obviously not beautiful enough and not fashionable enough compared to this coat.

Liu Zhiyan put on the coat and twisted around proudly.

"Does it look good?"

"It looks good!"

Xia Zhi told the truth, this outfit is really beautiful on Liu Zhiyan.

At this time, most girls are thin, and there are very few fat people, so the difference between them is not big.

"Xia Zhi, this dress is so beautiful. Look how well you made it. Can you let me wear this one? Make another one."

Liu Zhiyan didn't want to take it off after wearing it.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, you can make it yourself. I can help you cut it out. You can do it yourself."

Xia Zhi will never spoil her roommate.

"But your dress is so beautiful. I'm sure it's not as good as yours. Look how thick my stitches are."

"Xia Zhi, you are the best. You are the best person in the world. Please, give me your coat recently. Can I give you my coat?"

"Have you forgotten the rules we set at the beginning?"

Although Xia Zhi smiled, the firm will in his words could not be shaken.

"Okay Xia Zhi, please, how about this, let's discuss it. This coat is considered as something I asked you to make for me!

How about the money I pay you for making clothes?

I'll give you 5 yuan for this coat. No, no, no, I'll give you 10 yuan."

"What do you mean 10 yuan?"

Zhou Zhengan knocked on the door and walked in.

Director Wang was actually following him.

Xia Zhi saw them and hurriedly smiled and invited them in. They couldn't stand straight in the dugout.

Once they entered here, they had to find a place to sit.

"Captain Zhou, Director Wang, why are you here? The weather outside is bad. Is there something wrong?"

"Director Wang drove here in person and said he had something to talk to you about. So I brought Director Wang here."

Director Wang was surprised when he saw the cotton coat on Liu Zhiyan.

"This cotton coat?"

"Director Wang, please forgive me. We made this cotton coat ourselves."

Most people's clothes nowadays are straight waisted, and their aesthetics basically remain in a certain era.

Moreover, the color of the fabric is difficult to pick. Most of the fabrics are blue, white and gray, and female comrades can only add red and pink at most.

There are not many choices, and the style is very old-fashioned.

No wonder Director Wang's expression changed a little when he saw this coat.

"Oh, Xiao Xia's coat looks very energetic. When women wear it, they not only look energetic, but also look much more beautiful."

"If I had known that you could make such beautiful cotton coats, I would have given them to you.

Although cotton coats are a little complicated to make, the processing fee is 1 yuan for a cotton coat."

Liu Zhiyan was a little excited when she heard this. The processing fee of a cotton coat is 1 yuan, which is equivalent to making three and a half quilts.

"Director Wang, this is a cotton coat made by our Xiao Xia. You can see that the design she designed is very beautiful."

Xia Zhi can only be pushed to the front, after all, it is because the coat made by Xia Zhi is too beautiful.

Director Wang looked at the coat on Liu Zhiyan and was more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.

"Xiao Xia, you have this talent, why didn't you tell me earlier?

We are in need of this kind of talent here.

By the way, this is a women's coat. Can you make a men's coat and modify it a little bit, so that our male comrades can wear it in a spirited and good-looking way, and it is also very practical."

"Yes, but the best way is to change these cotton coats into down jackets or duck down jackets, or goose down jackets. They are both light and warm."

Xia Zhi is realistic. The down and duck down jackets of later generations have good warmth retention and come in many styles.

"I have heard of people using duck down to make coats, but they are all in big cities. I haven't heard of it here."

Director Wang has never seen the world. They are too far from the big cities.

It is rare to go there on business trips. People like Director Wang have never left the local area.

"Director Wang, how about this?

Is there a goose factory or duck farm near us? Find some feathers from them. Anyway, the feathers must be plucked when the ducks are killed. The better down can be collected.

I will make a sample for you. Take a look and try it first. If you think it is good, you can promote it in the future."

"The most important thing is that if this is promoted in other cities, it should be a big market. After all, no one wants to wear such heavy clothes in the winter, and it is not convenient to do things."

"And this kind of duck down and goose down clothes have a very high cold protection rate."

Xia Zhi said this because she did work in a down jacket factory in her previous life, the first down jacket factory established locally.

She was a worker recruited there. No matter how all the processes are, she can be regarded as a workshop director.

Whether it is the process, craftsmanship or style, she is confident.

This down jacket factory will definitely be built two years later, so it is better to build it now than two years later.

After all, Xia Zhi thought that being a worker would be better than farming every day.

Although he has been farming for many years, who doesn't want to do a little easy work?

If there is a chance to change the current situation, Xia Zhi feels that he will spare no effort to work hard.
