Shen Changfeng couldn't guess what she was looking for.

Until the two of them came to the restaurant, Gu Yiyi called the waiter over and asked: "Waiter, where is your shopkeeper?"

Just as he finished speaking, a fat man with a smile came over: "Girl, what do you want from me?"

"I would like to ask if your restaurant will slaughter ducks in the past two days?"

The shopkeeper nodded matter-of-factly and said: "We have all kinds of duck delicacies in our restaurant, braised, stir-fried, steamed. As long as you can think of something we can't do, what do you want to do, girl?"

Gu Yiyi smiled: "I only want the duck feathers. As for the other duck meat, just dry it for me, or smoke it quickly with firewood. How about it?"

The shopkeeper was startled and said with a smile: "Girl, I don't understand what you are thinking. What do you want duck feathers for? We don't have air-dried ducks in the restaurant yet."

"Since you don't have any, please help me kill the ducks you have. I'll buy them all, pluck the duck feathers cleanly and give them to me. As for the duck meat, can I lend it to your kitchen?"

This was the first time the shopkeeper had heard of such a strange request, and he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

So he shook his head quickly, wanting to refuse.

But Gu Yiyi took out a gold ingot and said, "If these are not enough, just make a price."

The shopkeeper saw how generous she was! His eyes were suddenly surprised.

He doesn't look like a rich and powerful man, but he just gets gold ingots.

"Girl, as you say, let alone duck feathers, I can get you as many ducks as you want! Find someone to kill them for you now, okay?"

This kind of refreshment is what Gu Yiyi wants.

So he rolled up his sleeves and headed to their kitchen.

Shen Changfeng followed her curiously, stared at her with admiration, and wanted to help her.

But Gu Yiyi had nothing to ask for help from him. She found salt, a large vat, and a machete in the kitchen by herself.

The cook also looked at her with a puzzled look on his face, as if he wanted to do something drastic.

The waiter in the restaurant was very nimble. He plucked the feathers of several ducks and put them in a sack.

Gu Yiyi used the restaurant kitchen to ask the cook to wash the duck meat first, then picked two and chopped them into sections, and threw the rest into the big vat whole.

Soak it in salt first and marinate it overnight.

Next, deal with those peeling feathers.

The steps such as sorting, dust removal, dehydration, and cooling are too complicated, and she can only perform simple processing under limited conditions.

Fortunately, the ducks in the restaurant don't have much of a duck smell, and the taste is acceptable. The specific steps need to wait until we return to Pingshan Town for further improvements and research.

Gu Yiyi also discovered a new way to make money.

The others looked puzzled as they watched her place a pile of duck feathers on the ground.

"Lady, what do you want with so much duck feathers? We usually pluck the feathers and throw them away. They are useless things and it takes a lot of effort to wash them."

"Yes."

Gu Yiyi greeted several waiters, took out some broken silver from her bag, and delivered it to them one by one.

"Thank you for your hard work. Help me pick out this kind of down feathers. I don't need any other feathers."

Although no one knew why she did this, they happily went there with the money in hand. They could get so much money just by picking feathers, so why not do it!

So everyone in the restaurant was dispatched.

Those who kill ducks, those who pluck feathers, those who pick feathers, and those who clean feathers, all come together. Gu Yiyi only needs to instruct them to help.

Once there are more people, trivial things become extremely simple.

She watched from the sidelines, testing which velvet could be used. She felt that there were not enough ducks, so she asked a few people to go to a neighbor's house and buy a few temporarily.

After waiting for a while, several baskets of down have been collected.

But it's not dry yet. It needs to be hung on the stove to dry overnight. To express her gratitude, Gu Yiyi specially spent money in the restaurant so that those people had a good meal.

She toasted them generously, and everyone was very happy.

Especially the shopkeeper, who immediately talked to her.

"Mrs. Shen, I still don't understand. What do you want with so many duck feathers? These are all useless things."

Gu Yiyi smiled, thought for a moment and said to the shopkeeper.

"These things seem useless, but they can actually make a lot of money. Shopkeeper, I wonder if you are interested?"

Shen Changfeng couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Yiyi starting her business again.

At this rate, her business partners are all along the road. If she returns to Pingshan Town to do business, that small place probably won't have the power of a giant Buddha like her.

But Shen Changfeng was happy to watch.

When the shopkeeper heard that there was business, he immediately became interested.

"Madam, you would like to tell me how to make money with this kind of thing? Is there any way?"

Gu Yiyi gave it a try: "I can't say anything today. When the down is dry tomorrow, I will make something for you to see, and you will know what I mean."

The shopkeeper smiled and replied happily: "Okay, okay, just waiting. I really want to see what this duck feather can be used for."

Not only the shopkeeper wanted to know, but Shen Changfeng was also curious.

Since she couldn't do what she wanted today, Gu Yiyi could only put the ready-made clothes she bought at the inn and let the children wear them first.

Then he told them: "Wait until tomorrow for my mother to put on beautiful coats for you."

Erbao carried the little skirt around and liked her little mandarin jacket very much: "Mom, Erbao likes this one very much. There is no need to buy a new one. Moreover, it is very thick and can survive the winter! Before. Aren’t we dressed so well for winter?”

Gu Yiyi was slightly stunned. It was already so cold in winter. If it was not so cold that they would shiver in the middle of winter, they actually didn't feel cold at all! !

As you can imagine, the children are used to being cold.

Gu Yiyi could no longer let them not feel the warmth like this.

So early the next morning, she went out, but instead of going to the restaurant immediately, she went to Cloth Shop first.

When she arrived at the restaurant, the shopkeeper had been waiting for her for a long time.

He sent someone to bring over all the down that had been dried. The down in the basket was fluffy and soft. The shopkeeper pointed at these things and said.

"I didn't expect these duck feathers to be so soft. After one night of drying, they are all completely dry. Now, madam, can you tell me what you are going to do with these things?"

I saw Gu Yiyi calling people outside to come in, and the two tailors took their needles and thread and sat on the chairs.

They took out a half-finished piece of clothing, and under Gu Yiyi's guidance, stuffed the dried down into it and sewed it up again.

A small mandarin jacket mixed with velvet is ready.

Then they started making the next blouse.

She let the shopkeeper put on the mandarin jacket and said, "Shopkeeper, would you like to go outside for a walk and feel it?"
