Chapter 901
When it came to the local winter, the wives present opened up the chatterbox again. They didn't know how bad they were when they arrived at the beginning of last year. Both adults and children suffered a great crime, and they were full of bitterness when they said it.

As soon as this topic is opened, people immediately think that this winter is coming soon, but the price of cotton has risen, and the price of cotton cloth has also risen. People like them are okay, and they can still buy a few clothes for their family despite the price increase. New clothes, but the soldiers and military households under his command are still suffering this winter.

Then, the topic turned to Qi Ke, the excitement subsided, and the rationality returned. The down jacket is very warm, but I have to ask about the price.

Qi Ke’s pricing is based on the prices of cotton and fabrics this year. The strategy is to make people feel that instead of spending a sum of money on tailoring new cotton clothes, it is better to spend the same money on custom-made down jackets filled with duck down. Goose down is more expensive than duck down. One point, they are reluctant to part with it, but there are so many rich people, as long as the news spreads, someone will be interested.

For this lady with bad knees, Qi Ke said that she could use down as a petticoat, half the length of her calf, and wear a long jacket on her body to keep her knees warm.

These suggestions are very exciting, because they do not affect what to wear with outer shirts and skirts, they are just a substitute for cotton clothes, which are worn under outer shirts.

A few ladies with bad waists and fear of catching the cold decided to make long jackets together, wrapping them from back to legs to protect them from the cold wind, so that they might be more comfortable this winter.

The long jacket uses a lot of materials. Although it is filled with duck down, it is not cheap to make one. The cheapest is the duck down sleeveless jacket, but the wives don’t like it. They think it is better to make a short jacket and a long jacket for adults. There are only two people. If you have a child under ten years old at home, consider making it for your child.

Qi Ke only asked that the fabric of the down jacket must be her own, and the style is completely free for anyone to choose, especially the collar. Draw for everyone to see, draw more than ten kinds in one breath without repeating the pattern, there are necklines and cuffs, and you can match them.

The ladies couldn't put it down with the patterns, but they couldn't pick out a favorite match for a while, so they put the patterns away and pondered slowly, and then started a new topic along the patterns, chatting about cutting new clothes, thinking that this is a good idea to do. The pattern on the down jacket is also very suitable for use on the outer shirt.

Qi Ke, who was dealing with brush and ink, heard it, interjected, and spread out another large white paper, picked up the brush and started to draw.

When the ladies saw her start to write again, they immediately surrounded her, and saw her draw various clothing patterns on the paper with a few strokes, from tops to skirts.

While painting, Qi Ke explained the implication of the patterns, what to match with what is good intentions, and it is also careful in clothing, the wives of low-level military officers are not as good as those wives with rich families, and they can’t make gorgeous things that cost materials and labor. If you want a skirt, just make a skirt, and play tricks on the pattern of the knee and bottom.

Zhaolin promptly handed over a new tray with several plates of color ink just mixed in it. Qi Ke changed the brush to fill in the color on the design. After a few strokes, the black and white changed to color, and the effect suddenly changed drastically, attracting the attention of the wives. They repeatedly exclaimed that they wanted to, and some people simply wanted to order a few more sets of shirts, jackets and skirts at Qi Ke's place without bothering the two masters.

Qi Ke was not tempted by these impulsive wives, so he first finished drawing the pattern in his hand and handed it to them, and promised to wait until the sun went down and it was dark, and then send these three samples to them to try on for a night , It is cooler at night than during the day, and compared with cotton-padded jackets, you will feel more about how warm you are.
