After harvesting the snails, the animal fur, which had been processed for two days, was finally ready to use in the afternoon.
The finest mink fur, after the oils and skin fibers have been removed, is left with only a fine, smooth, and fluffy layer of fur.
Mink fur, being the finest layer of fur, is not only delicate and smooth with excellent waterproof and warmth properties, but also features different colors in different parts of the body.
The overall color scheme leans towards off-white and dark gray, a natural color that perfectly complements the luxurious feel of fur.
Moreover, if dye is used, the color is not easy to fade.
Lin Fan spent a full thousand yuan to buy these ten mink pelts, but according to his estimate, depending on the style, these ten mink pelts could make about four or five fur coats.
Lin Fan plans to sell a fur coat for at least 2,000 yuan, which means that after deducting the cost of buying the fabric and labor, the profit is close to ten times.
"Uncle, this fur feels so nice to the touch, what kind of fur is it?"
Xiuying remained squatting beside Lin Fan, watching him work on the mink pelts.
After the mink fur was cleaned, Xiuying touched it a couple of times, and her eyes lit up.
Lin Fan laughed and patted his head, saying, "This is mink fur. It's very valuable, Xiuying, you're not allowed to touch it!"
After speaking, Lin Fan carefully put away the processed mink pelt and hurriedly went into the house.
"Mom, have you finished making that dress I asked you to make these past few days?"
Lin Fan found Liu Chunlian and asked about the progress of the lining of his first fur coat.
Liu Chunlian sat in front of the sewing machine, finishing the final stitches.
Seeing Lin Fan come in, he smiled and said, "Third brother, come and see if it's almost done. Just finish tidying up the edges!"
Lin Fan walked to the sewing machine, picked up a short-sleeved shirt with a fur lining from the table, and examined it.
Liu Chunlian's craftsmanship is unparalleled; her stitches are fine and she uses the finest fabrics. In fact, with just a little embroidery and decoration, she could sell it directly.
However, selling it like this is too ordinary. If you add mink fur to it, it can fetch an astronomical price!
"Mom, that's great! I have another template for a long coat here. Make a few more linings using the same method!"
As Lin Fan spoke, he took out the papers he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and placed them in front of Liu Chunlian.
Liu Chunlian nodded: "Okay, Xiaofan, you can leave it for now. I'll make you the next one after I finish this one!"
A moment later, the finishing work on the lining was also completed. The same high-end and delicate lining fabric was smooth to the touch and had exquisite patterns embroidered on it. Combined with the pattern set by Lin Fan and some needlework techniques he suggested, it had a very high-end feel.
"Mom, you go ahead and finish this. I'll just do the final touches on it!"
Lin Fan picked up the lining and went to Lin Shuying's room to prepare for the final filling with mink fur.
The process is not complicated; it's just a matter of repeatedly sewing the fur on with stitches. However, the stitching must be done carefully and naturally, without any visible marks. This requires a bit of skill!
"Wife!"
"Come here and do me a favor!"
Lin Fan couldn't wait to see the first fur coat he had ever designed and made, so he felt that it would be too slow to do it alone and asked Lin Shuying to help him.
How many girls in the countryside don't know how to sew? Especially since Lin Shuying had received Liu Chunlian's true teachings.
A couple of days ago, when I was bored, I sewed clothes for Lin Fan. I'm actually quite good at needlework.
"Okay, what do you need me to do?"
"You learn my sewing technique and sew these fibers onto the lining..."
Two people, one teaches and the other learns.
I worked for four or five hours straight, until after nine o'clock at night, without even having time for lunch, before finally finishing the fur coat.
Inside the room, Lin Shuhan, Liu Chunlian, Qiao'er, and Xiuying were all present.
They had been watching for a long time, eager to see the precious garment that Lin Fan had gone to such lengths to produce.
"It's done!"
After finishing the last stitch, Lin Fan rubbed his slightly sore fingers, stood up, picked up the fur coat, looked it over, and nodded in satisfaction.
He looked at Liu Chunlian beside him and called out, "Mom, come and try!"
Liu Chunlian walked over curiously, and Lin Fan helped her put on the fur coat.
This was a beige short-sleeved fur coat, which, even in the dim candlelight, exuded a sense of sophistication and wealth when worn by Liu Chunlian.
Wearing it, Liu Chunlian seemed to have suddenly become a different person, transforming from an honest and simple rural woman into a noblewoman exuding elegance.
Even the awkward, cautious expression on his face seemed to reveal a hint of indifference and pride.
"Wow, Mom, the dress Xiaofan made is so beautiful!"
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Shuhan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Lin Shuying also looked at the dress she had sewn herself and marveled at it.
"Mom, this dress is really beautiful!"
Liu Chunlian couldn't help but spin around in place, looking down and glancing left and right. Then, she subconsciously exclaimed, "Such beautiful clothes! I've never seen anything like them in my life. They must cost over a hundred yuan, right?"
Liu Chunlian thought her guess was bold enough, but Lin Fan's next words scared her so much that she almost collapsed to the ground.
"Mom, a hundred yuan isn't even enough to cover the cost of the mink fur on this garment. I plan to price it at two thousand yuan apiece initially, with the price varying depending on size, style, and materials!"
"Wh...what??? Two thousand?"
Liu Chunlian's expression changed, and she hurriedly but carefully took off her fur coat, quickly placing it in Lin Fan's hands. She patted her chest and said, "Third brother, you should have told me earlier that this coat was so expensive. How could you let Mom try it on? What if it gets ruined?"
They would never have dared to dream of owning clothes that cost two thousand yuan.
In the past, if their family had saved up about ten yuan a day and didn't spend it recklessly, they could have saved more than three hundred yuan a year.
To want to buy a piece of clothing like this for seven or eight years is simply a pipe dream.
Even though Lin Fan has made a lot of money with his family, two thousand yuan is only a profit of one or two days, but they still can't imagine how expensive the clothes are.
Because in their minds, it's just something to wear to keep warm, so why make it so expensive?
Not only Liu Chunlian, but Lin Shuhan also gaped in shock, exclaiming, "Xiao Fan, are you kidding us? This dress costs two thousand yuan, will anyone buy it?"
