Abandoned woman from a poor family, she is addicted to wealth

Chapter 344 Dealing with duck feathers
"The taste is weak..."

"A bit bitter..."

"The ingredients must be handled cleanly!"

"Too salty again..."

Lu Jiu seemed to be specifically picky, and kept the three of them doing it non-stop.

She was not too tired, and ate the duck for two hours.

It wasn't until all the live ducks in the store were used up that they barely reached the level Lu Jiu wanted.

Even if Lu Jiu could eat again, he didn't finish it, there was still a lot left.

Lu Jiu divided the ducks into three parts, one was taken home, and the other two were packaged and sent to the county government and the official media office respectively.

When returning to the village, Lu Jiu took another trip to the glass factory.

After the duck shop opens, the glass factory will almost have orders, so we must hurry up and make preparations.

After inspecting the glass factory as usual, Lu Jiu gave half of the ducks to them as employee benefits.

Back home, Lu Jiu started to get busy buying live ducks.

Although Mrs. Sun has raised hundreds of ducks, this is ancient times, not the modern hormone-raised ducks, which can be slaughtered in a month. If they start from scratch, it will take more than two months before they can be slaughtered.

The live ducks used in the duck shop are all harvested in the village.

The ducks in the nearby village can be supplied for a month no matter what.

A month later, the ducks bought by Sun are almost ready to be slaughtered, and there is no need to buy ducks from others.

Besides the duck meat, Lu Jiu also got back a lot of duck feathers.

She had to deal with these duck feathers and save them to make down jackets later.

Before washing the feathers, first remove the small garbage and impurities such as duck feathers, and then rub the picked duck feathers with washing powder water to remove grease and dirt, and rinse them with clean water after washing.

After washing, it should be dried in the sun.

After a full day in the sun, the duck feathers are dried.

After the duck feathers are dehydrated and dried, they are then sterilized.

Lu Jiu put the dried duck feathers in a muslin bag and tied the bag tightly, put it in a steamer and steamer for disinfection, after being aired, steam sterilized it for about half an hour, took it out, and put it in the steamer for half an hour to evaporate it one day later. bacteria.

After cooling and drying, it is a clean down.

The last step is classification, which is carried out according to the wind force. The furthest flying is the down, then the small flakes, and then the big flakes.

Lu Jiu did all these things by herself, and when she finished her work, it was almost the Double Ninth Festival.

Dozens of ducks produced a total of just over a catty of down.

Of course, this is the modern decimal equivalent of jinliang.

If you change to the ancient algorithm, there is not a catty of cashmere.

A down jacket, with 90% down content, needs at least 4 taels of down.

In other words, Lu Jiu has been busy for two days and can only make three down jackets at most.

Lu Jiu threw the down into the system backpack and started to prepare for the holiday.

There are really many festivals in ancient times. The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and the Double Ninth Festival will be celebrated again.

The Double Ninth Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the worship of the harvest in autumn in ancient times.

The number "nine" is a yang number in the "Book of Changes", and the two yang numbers of "Nine Nine" are the same number, so it is called "Chongyang"; because the sun and the moon both meet nine, it is also called "Chongjiu".Ninety-nine returns to true and one yuan begins. The ancients believed that ninety-nine Chongyang is an auspicious day.

In ancient times, folks had the customs of climbing high to pray for blessings, visiting chrysanthemums in autumn, wearing dogwood, worshiping gods and ancestors, and feasting to pray for longevity on the Double Ninth Festival.

Because the old lady was getting old, it was impossible for her to climb up to pray for blessings, so Lu Jiu could only take the old lady for a stroll on the mountain before returning home.
