Chapter 81 Down Jackets Are on the Agenda

"I've never seen the down jacket you mentioned, but I seem to have heard of it.

How about this, you really make a sample.

Leave the matter of collecting down to me, don't worry, I know a lot of duck and goose factories."

Director Wang suddenly became interested. It's freezing cold here in winter, especially in some places where the temperature can reach minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.

Comrades on duty wear cotton coats and people get frostbite every year.

If this problem can be solved, he is certainly willing to solve it, and the leaders have held a meeting to support them to use their brains for logistics work and give full play to their light and heat.

"Director, if you can find down, it's better to help me find some fabrics. Down jackets require some special fabrics.

This kind of fabric is more cold-proof, and it is also waterproof and stain-resistant."

Xia Zhi wanted to do it naturally to the best of her ability, and she knew where these fabrics were produced.

Director Wang was a little surprised when the addresses of these fabric factories were told.

"Oh my God, how did you know that we have these textile factories here? And these textile factories produce these fabrics."

"Director, I also heard about it from others, but you will definitely need this thing, and you will definitely be satisfied with the samples I make."

Xia Zhi was a little proud, and had to admit that these experiences in the previous life would still bring a lot of benefits to this life.

"Okay, since you said so, let's do it this way. I need a batch of quilts this time. After this heavy snow, many places were affected, and this batch of quilts must be used to fill the gap. How many have you made now? Hurry up and ship them out."

After hearing this, Xia Zhi and Liu Zhiyan hurried to other caves to inform the educated youth to send the finished quilts to the brigade headquarters.

Zhou Zhengan and Director Wang carried the quilts in their caves out first.

Because it's okay, although it's only been 20 days, they have actually made most of the quilts. This time they received more quilts, but they made more finished products.

Director Wang was responsible for counting and loading there. Seeing that the number was almost the same, he smiled from ear to ear.

"Xiao Xia, you are really capable. I admire you for organizing the educated youth to do so much work.

By the way, please keep the down jackets in mind.

I want to see this product next time.

It happens to be the New Year, I will visit the leaders and let them take a look at these things.

If this down jacket is good, we can build a factory here to supply these.

Don't worry, I will get what you need within two days, Lao Zhou, you can send someone to pick it up when the time comes."

Director Wang didn't take the down jackets to heart. Although he said so, he actually had to rely on these quilts and cotton coats.

This batch of quilts was settled for them, and everyone got a sum of money.

Everyone was very happy. There were still ten days before the New Year, and they got so much money in these ten days.

I thought about going to the county to buy some things for the New Year.

This time everyone went to Captain Zhou to apply together, wanting to go to the county together.

The main reason is that the New Year is coming soon, and I have money on hand. In addition to buying things for myself, I want to send some money home.

These days, everyone's life is not easy, so most people who have a little extra money will think about getting close to their families.

Zhou Zhengan smiled and agreed after hearing this.

In fact, they also have to go to the county to get the last batch of vegetables. This batch of vegetables will be eaten directly in the first month of the year, and it is estimated that no vegetables will be transported in during the whole first month of the year.

They also have to bring back all the supplies for the New Year.

The educated youths in the entire educated youth point are all happy. After all, they can go to the county to purchase things. Everyone is preparing for the New Year. It feels different. There is a bit of the New Year atmosphere.

Before leaving, Xia Zhi turned his head to the brigade headquarters and saw Zhou Zhengan writing and drawing behind the table.

Zhou Zhengan noticed that someone looked up and saw that it was Xia Zhi and asked.

"Xiao Xia, is there anything else you need?"

"Zhou Zhengan, can you help me?"

Xia Zhi also thought for a long time before finding such a suitable candidate. It would be inconvenient to find someone else, and Zhou Zhengan is the best model in terms of height and physique.

"Tell me! What can I help you with?"

"I promised Director Wang that I would make the down jacket in two days. I want to use you as a model and measure your size."

Xia Zhi took the opportunity to get Zhou Zhengan's size and made the Zhongshan suit.

This kind of thing of repaying a favor naturally cannot be said openly, so making a down jacket is simply a perfect excuse.

Zhou Zhengan nodded,

"Okay, what's the big deal? Measure it for me when we go to dinner later. By the way, do you have a ruler? If there is no soft ruler, I will borrow one from the team."

Zhou Zhengan was thoughtful, and Xia Zhi nodded repeatedly. She really didn't have these things on hand.

"I really don't have a tape measure, you should lend me one, thank you, Zhou Zhengan."

"Why are you always so polite, always saying thank you. You have helped me so much, but I have never said thank you.

By the way, don't forget that the last time you helped me, you promised to bring the educated youth to the canteen to help with the New Year's Eve dinner."

Zhou Zhengan felt that Xia Zhi was always too polite to others. They were such important friends, why should he be so polite.

Anyway, he and Jiang Yifan were never polite when they were together.

"The more gifts you give, the less blame you will feel. Captain Zhou, don't worry, I'll take care of the New Year's Eve dinner."

Xia Zhi knew the tradition here. Every year, all the comrades in the entire unit would come to the canteen to eat at the New Year's Eve dinner.

On the one hand, it was a reunion dinner for everyone, and on the other hand, it would relieve everyone's homesickness.

There would be performances and so on, and the canteen was like a big stage, mainly because they didn't have TV these days.

There were no programs on the radio.

So the leaders must organize such art performances on New Year's Eve, and the superiors would also go to the units below to express their condolences.

This is why Zhou Zhengan and his team attach so much importance to the New Year's Eve dinner.

Although they couldn't make anything good these days, they would definitely have dumplings.

"By the way, go back and inform the educated youth that you are part of our reclamation area.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, you have to perform a show. Rehearse the show in advance and show your skills when the time comes."

Xia Zhi nodded. As educated youth, they do have more talents than the aunts and sisters-in-law in the countryside here.

It can be considered entertaining.

"Captain Zhou, don't worry, I will inform everyone when I get back and ask them to come up with a program."

Entertainment is scarce, so most of these entertainment performances will make people happy physically and mentally!
