Back to 90: I made a fortune by pulling goose feathers!

Chapter 34 Goose Feather and Goose Down Are Different

Qin Meiqin waved her hand and didn't stop her.

Ning Meng immediately called Ning Ning to help.

Next to the goose farm is a brick factory. Good bricks are hard to come by, but there are a lot of burnt broken bricks.

The siblings carried their baskets and went to the brick factory to pick up broken bricks. They were not nervous when they saw people, and greeted them openly.

The workers in the brick factory knew the two children, and told them not to fall or touch them, so they didn't care about the others.

After picking up half a basket of broken bricks, the siblings joined forces to carry them to the goose field.

Not long after walking, I saw Qu Daguan coming by on a bicycle.

"Little uncle!"

Ning Meng immediately waved her hand to greet Qu Daguan.

Qu Daguan turned the handlebar and turned towards the siblings.

When he got to the front, Qu Daguan hung the basket on the handlebar, let Ning Ning sit on the front beam, and Ning Meng rode on the back seat by herself.

This saves trouble, not only does not need to carry the basket, but also saves walking.

Qu Daguan asked what he did for picking up bricks, Ning Meng answered, and then asked back: "Little uncle, how is the business on the side of the goose feather?"

"It's settled, two cents a catty."

Qu Daguan didn't hide it from Ning Meng either.

Ning Meng snorted and grabbed the frame of the car.

After entering the yard, Qu Daguan greeted Qin Meiqin, and he was not in a hurry to put away the goose feathers. Instead, he helped Ning Meng build a temporary earthen stove.

"Little uncle, I'm fine here! Hurry up and pack the goose feathers and sell them!"

Ning Meng urged Qu Daguan to get busy with business.

Qu Daguan responded, but he didn't go. Instead, he talked to Qin Meiqin: "Sister-in-law, don't weigh the weight of the goose feather. I'll give you the money together after I have collected enough ten catties, okay?"

"Okay, just remember it yourself."

It's not that Qin Meiqin doesn't look down on the three melons and two dates, the main reason is that goose feathers are really light, and if it's really three or two catties, it's counted as one time, and the little money earned is probably not enough for Qu Daguan and Ning Jianjun to have a drink.

The number of goose feathers produced every day is about the same, and I am not afraid that Qu Daguan will lose money.

Qu Daguan pretended to be a goose feather and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ning Meng.

"Little uncle, are these goose feathers sold in one pile?"

Ning Meng just saw that the little uncle really stuffed all kinds of goose feathers into the silk bag without any choice at all.

Qu Daguan was at a loss: "Yes, otherwise how can I sell it?"

"Goose feathers and goose down must be separated!"

Ning Meng was in a hurry: "Goose down is much more valuable than goose feathers."

Qu Daguan didn't understand even more: "What goose feathers and goose down? Aren't they all goose feathers?"

"They're all goose feathers, but the quality is different."

Ning Meng didn't clean up the goose miscellaneous anymore, she wiped her hands and walked forward: "Little uncle, don't worry, I'll tell you how to distinguish goose feather from goose down. Let me tell you, two cents a catty, that's goose feather The price. If it’s goose down, fifty cents a catty is not too much.”

In fact, Ning Meng wanted to say that even one dollar is not too much.

But she knew the character of this little uncle, and if he didn't offer a price of one yuan later, she reckoned that he could directly fight with him.

Hearing that a catty was only [-] cents short, Qu Daguan didn't dare to relax, and hurriedly poured the goose feathers into a big basin.

The big basin is placed under the wall, so there is no fear that it will be blown everywhere by the wind.

"Little uncle, look, goose feathers are generally hard, but the belly of the goose is here. Look, isn't it particularly soft? This is the goose down."

Ning Meng picked in the basin and picked two small pokes, which were goose feathers and goose down.

Qu Daguan nodded: "It's different."

"Little uncle, you send the goose down today. If the other party asks why there is no goose down, you just say that the owner of the goose farm does not agree to accept goose down at two wools per catty."

As Ning Meng said, she separated the goose feather from the goose down.

Qu Daguan also shared it with him, but he didn't forget to ask, "How much do you plan to sell the goose down?"

"Two dollars."

Ning Meng was afraid that the other party would only remember such a price, so she hurriedly continued: "If the other party disagrees, we can bargain with him. Our bottom line is one yuan per catty. If they want it, don't forget it. Goose down is a good thing. , at worst, when it’s cold, it can be used to make down jackets.”

"Okay, I remember."

Qu Daguan agreed with his mouth, but he was very nervous in his heart.

The price of a catty is eight cents!

No matter how little goose down there is, it can't hold back the many geese in the goose field!

A catty of loose baskets is only one or two yuan, so a catty of goose down is worth half a catty of liquor.

While Qin Meiqin was busy, she paid attention to the movement on her daughter's side.

Qin Meiqin was also shocked when she heard that the price of goose down could vary so much.

But after the shock, I was puzzled.

How does the girl know this?
In front of Qu Daguan, Qin Meiqin didn't ask.

It wasn't until Qu Daguan left with a big bag of goose feathers that Qin Meiqin asked her doubts.

Ning Meng is not worried about the doubts from her family at all now, and replied naturally: "I read it in the book!"

"The book also said how much goose down can be sold for?"

Qin Meiqin had a look of disbelief.

Ning Meng shrugged: "The book doesn't say how much goose down can be sold for, but people have mentioned the difference between goose down and goose feathers. Mom, you can see that goose feathers can cost two cents a catty, and the price of a down jacket is less It must be a hundred and eighty!"

"How much duck down can I use for a down jacket? I can't even use a catty. If it weren't for the middleman's price difference, and labor costs and other messy expenses, I think two yuan is too low!"

Ning Meng spoke very seriously, but actually felt guilty in her heart.

She really felt that the price of two yuan a catty was too low.

But she has no other choice!

The quantity of goose down is small, even if I can quote 20 yuan, there must be so much goose down to supply.

Just three melons and two dates, the price of two dollars...

People are not necessarily willing to accept.

Qin Meiqin felt that what the girl said made a lot of sense.

Even if the price of a piece of clothing is 100 yuan, it does not cost a catty of cashmere. Looking at it this way, two yuan per catty is really not expensive.

Even Qin Meiqin felt that the price was underestimated.

But there is no way to do it, no one in their family understands this anymore.

It's enough if someone can accept it, so how can you ask for more?

Ning Meng rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, in fact, goose down doesn't have to be harvested until the goose is killed. The goose can be picked up while it's alive, just be careful not to be bitten by the goose."

"Squeezing? That hurts so much."

Qin Meiqin felt uncomfortable thinking about that scene.

Killed with a knife, that is, it hurts for a while, and has been plucked all the time, so the goose must not be scared into problems?
Ning Meng thought about it, and felt a little inhumane.

That's all, anyway, the family is now killing geese every day, and it will be the same when the time comes to pluck the goose feathers.

"Mom, the goose feather that my little uncle took away this time weighed more than ten catties!"

Ning Meng counted with her fingers: "It's calculated on the basis of fifteen catties. Our family charges eight cents per catty. This is also... one yuan and two! It's enough for Ning Ning and I to eat through our hearts."
