Scientific farming and raising cute babies

Chapter 609 Business opportunities brought by duck down

I wish the old man wanted to give a eiderdown quilt as a gift, he placed a large order, and he ordered a hundred of them in one go.

Mr. Ding only needs [-] of them for his own needs.

Considering the amount of duck down that Gu Miao has collected so far, this amount is really stressful, but the pressure is also a motivation, because the price given by the old man Zhu is quite high.

Although the duck feathers are inconspicuous, they are collected little by little. When others deliver them, many of them are still stained with duck blood. The duck feathers and down are tangled together and dirty. Gu Miao needs to sort the duck feathers and duck down. , cleaning, high-temperature cooking and disinfection, and then it can be made into a quilt.

Moreover, most of the duck feathers and downs collected are duck feathers, and there are very few duck downs. Even if you collect dozens of catties of duck feathers, you may not be able to collect one catty of duck down. Therefore, Gu Miao set a high price for duck down.

The best duck down quilts in later generations can sell for thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, so it is not cheap here. Gu Miao originally set the price at ten taels of silver for a catty of duck down. How much does a quilt cost? The weight of the duck down is determined.

Gu Miao originally thought that the price he had set was already too high, but after the old man learned about the situation, he raised his hand by another five taels of silver. The reason was very good. As a gift, if the price was too low, he would not be able to offer it.

Moreover, Gu Miao only counted the price of the duck down, not the labor cost, so the five taels of silver should be considered the labor cost!

Gu Miao "..."

She set such a high price, which already includes the cost of handwork and fabric...

"That's the price, Miss Gu, this amount of money is very high for you, but it's nothing in the eyes of those aristocratic families in the capital, so don't worry about it."

"Besides, after thinking about it carefully, I think this is a new business opportunity." Mr. Zhu said with a smile, his eyes resting on Gu Miao, he was satisfied no matter how he looked at it.

"...What business opportunity?" Gu Miao asked cautiously after being looked at by the old man, feeling uncomfortable.

"It's a business opportunity for the villagers to make a fortune. You have discovered the value of duck feathers and duck down. There will definitely be more people raising ducks in the future. The big guys have found another way to make money."

"Isn't the blue guard ordered to summarize your experience of getting rich first and then getting rich later? This ready-made experience has already come."

Grandpa Zhu explained with a smile.

Gu Miao has boosted the economy around Huaishu Village again!
He can bear the three words "Little God of Wealth"!

Gu Miao "..."

Raise ducks?
She blinked her eyes, and then a little light appeared in her eyes, yes!Discovering the use of duck feathers and duck down can stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for raising ducks!
Raising ducks is good!
Ducks are full of treasures!

Duck feathers can be used to make clothes. Duck meat can be eaten in many ways. She loves roast duck and duck neck very much!

Speaking of it, because there is no large-scale breeding farm here, the ducks to eat are all raised by the villagers themselves. Therefore, if you want to eat duck necks, you can only slaughter a duck yourself to eat. But if there is a breeding farm, these duck neck ducks Intestines and duck feet can be sold in bulk.

If you raise ducks, you must raise ducks!
Seeing that Gu Miao's eyes lit up, the old man Zhu knew that she had figured out the benefits involved, so he said, "The price of this duck down is set high, and the people who raise ducks will benefit in the future. Don't worry, there are rich people in this world." There are many people, and the poor are those who raise ducks.”

"Okay." Gu Miao nodded.

Duck down is expensive, but duck feathers are still cheap. Poor people who want to wear down jackets can buy those filled with duck feathers. Although they are not as comfortable as duck down, they are worse than straw.
