Seeing this, Da Mao, who was standing nearby, came over with a curious look on his face and asked, "Sister, you can actually make down jackets? Tell us how to do it!"

"Have you ever studied it?" Qi Xingyun looked at the little girl in front of him, with a gleam of inquiry in his eyes, and asked softly.

Xiao Cao was slightly startled. She didn't expect Qi Xingyun to ask this question suddenly. But when she noticed the strong interest in the other party's eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She just nodded slightly, and then said slowly: "I haven't made it yet, but I do have some knowledge of how to make down jackets. I seem to have seen it in a book." After that, she paused for a moment. She seemed to have read such books in the Xinhua Bookstore.

"Then tell me about it. If it's not difficult, I want to produce down jackets. What the soldiers at the border need in winter is to keep warm." Qi Xingyun said.

Xiao Caoer understood what Qi Xingyun wanted to do as soon as he heard it. After thinking for a while, as if he was organizing his words, Xiao Caoer cleared his throat and began to tell the story.

The most important thing in making down jackets is to clean the feathers. The following steps are usually required to process the feathers of down jackets:

The first step is to collect feathers. Make sure the feathers are from clean sources and free of impurities.

The second step is to clean the feathers. Use warm water to remove surface dirt and grease, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

The third step is disinfection and sterilization. In ancient times, there was no disinfectant, so people could only soak the clothes in boiling water to kill or reduce the possible bacteria and parasites.

Step 4: Dry the feathers. Place the feathers in a well-ventilated, dry place to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight to avoid damaging the feathers.

Step 5: Fluffing: Gently shake and flap the feathers to restore them to a fluffy state.

After these processing steps, the feathers can be used to make down jackets.

Then, the fabric is cut according to the measurements, usually including the front and back pieces, sleeves, neckline, etc.

Next, sew the cut fabrics together, making sure the stitches are fine to prevent the down from coming out.

During the sewing process, leave a small opening for filling with down.

The processed and screened down is evenly filled into the clothes through the reserved small openings to ensure that the filling amount in each part is uniform.

After the filling is completed, the small opening is sewn and the buttons are nailed. Finally, the down jacket is checked and trimmed as a whole to ensure that the appearance is smooth and there are no defects. A warm down jacket is ready.

"According to what Sister Xiaocao said, if you want to make this kind of down jacket, you first need to collect the feathers and clean them thoroughly. After they are dried, you can put them into the production process."

Qi Xingyun gave a detailed and clear summary of the down production process that Xiaocaoer had just introduced.

"Yeah, that's right. Brother Xingyun's summary is very correct!" Xiao Cao'er smiled and praised Qi Xingyun generously.

Hearing the little girl praising him in such a teasing way, Qi Xingyun couldn't help but feel happy, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and gently scratch her small and cute nose.

However, he suddenly remembered that Damao was also present at the moment, so he quickly gave up the idea.

"By the way, cleaning feathers is a job that takes up quite a lot of space, and when drying them, try not to expose them to direct sunlight. They can only be placed in a relatively cool location. Brother Xingyun, do you have a suitable place in your house?" Xiao Cao'er blinked his lively big eyes and asked seriously.

"If we really want to mass-produce this kind of down jackets, it may not be feasible to operate it only in Brother Xingyun's house. In my opinion, we must build a special workshop."

Sanmao, who had been listening, spoke up and expressed her own views at the right time. After all, as a businessman, she had some knowledge and considerations about such things.

"That's right." Qi Xingyun nodded slightly and said slowly: "We can try small-scale production in the mansion first. If everything goes well, we can consider setting up a special workshop." His eyes were firm and confident, as if he had already seen the scene of future success.

Xiao Cao'er beside him blinked her big, lively eyes and continued Qi Xingyun's words, "In addition to collecting a large number of feathers, we also need to hire some skilled embroiderers."

"Also, regarding fabrics, it is best to choose wear-resistant materials for the soldiers so that they can be durable. If you buy fabrics in the capital, you don't have to be too particular about the type and texture." She spoke while gesticulating, appearing very serious.

Qi Xingyun nodded, indicating his agreement with Xiao Cao'er's suggestion, then turned to look at Sanmao and said, "Then tomorrow, Sanmao, you will follow Yun Liu to be responsible for collecting feathers."

Hearing this, Tian Sanmao couldn't help but look surprised and asked in confusion: "Tomorrow? Is it so urgent?"

Qi Xingyun smiled slightly, stared at Sanmao with a sharp gaze, and asked, "Why, do you have something important to do tomorrow?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I will follow Brother Yunliu tomorrow." Sanmao said.
