Chapter 144 Down Jacket Out
Unable to get more information about the eldest princess from her father, Song Qingwan could only place her hopes on the canary.

So when they went to bed at night, the master and servant hid in the quilt and discussed the matter in whispers.

"I'm sorry for putting you through this, Zhizhi. You can never get rid of this gray hair, and I have to trouble you to go through all those dangers."

How could the canary not love beauty? But it had to keep a low profile until Song Qingwan became powerful.

Only in this way can it become the greatest weapon. No one will notice it, and no one will believe that Canary is Song Qingwan's biggest intelligence agent.

"I don't feel wronged. I really like doing these things. They are very interesting." It is a special bird. Its life is colorful and fun.

In time, when Song Qingwan reaches the top, who can say that it cannot rule over all the animals in the world?
So, what does this little difficulty mean? Besides the dragon, the canary is also the king!
"Good, Zhizhi, you are awesome. You will be the one keeping an eye on the old witch, the eldest princess. I feel like she must be hiding a big secret."

Song Qingwan gently stroked the canary's hair, which was particularly silky and so lovely that she couldn't let it go.

The canary's eyes lit up and it slid out of the bed, "Then I'll go now." It couldn't wait a moment, as it loved to dig out other people's secrets the most.

"Hey, be careful! Don't force your way in. Let's take it slow."

But the canary had already flown away, so how could it respond to Song Qingwan?

As Song Qingwan's physical condition improves, Canary also has a variety of skills. Anyway, it is stronger than Song Qingwan.

Therefore, the opponents were watched by Canary and the animals, and Song Qingwan devoted herself to the fine factory.

Nanzhi Textile now has a textile machine and has already sent out the raw materials requested from Qicai Cloth Shop.

The next step is to spin the down cloth for use by Qingya Cloth Shop.

As soon as Qicai Cloth Shop received the cloth, it immediately processed it using a sewing machine and delivered it to Fenfangfang in just five days.

After delivering the goods and receiving the payment, Qicai Cloth Shop directly refused all future business dealings with Fenfangfang.

For a while, Fenfangfang was short of cheap raw materials, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they originally thought they could get the Qicai Cloth Shop, so they only signed this last batch of agreements. Now they can't do anything about the Qicai Cloth Shop.

Of course, Song Qingwan also received more than 200,000 taels of payment for the goods.

She took the two bosses to repay the loans from the small black room and the boss of Yu Shi Lu in advance.

At this point, the disaster for the two families had finally passed, but they had also suffered severe injuries and heavy losses.

Fortunately, Nanzhi took the order from Qingya Garment Store and continued to make down cloth, which made the boss of Qicai very envious.

Song Qingwan simply let him take charge of the production of down jackets, and they only needed to process the duck feathers.

This made Xie Qingcheng, who had to deal with ducks every day, smell like duck feathers and was really miserable.

"Duck is actually very delicious." Song Qingwan couldn't understand why he was so annoying.

"Girl, are you serious? Isn't duck fishy and smelly? I've only eaten it twice, and I don't want to have it again in my life." Xie Qingcheng shook her head repeatedly.

But he might be exaggerating. Duck is definitely delicious as long as it is handled well.

"I'm not the only one who says the food is not tasty. We visited all the restaurants and duck shops in Beijing, and we found that we didn't have much duck feathers left.

Not many people eat duck, there really isn’t even any feather on it.” But it seems that these girls think duck feathers are more precious than the duck itself.

"What about ducks? There must be someone raising ducks. We can buy them directly." Song Qingwan thought that maybe she could open a shop for Xiaowu.

"Girl, you don't want the workers in the fine factory to eat the duck meat every day, do you?" Xie Qingcheng's face changed drastically because he was also eating there.

"You're dreaming. We can open a roast duck restaurant. After the Yang family contracted the canteen of the Jing Factory, their shop will be idle.

Old Xie, you decide whether to buy or rent. We will open a roast duck restaurant for Xiao Wu and guarantee that the business will be booming.”

Song Qingwan had eaten roast chicken in this era, but she had never heard of roast duck. According to historical descriptions, roast duck was really delicious. Xie Qingcheng expressed doubts, but since their girl had never failed, he chose to believe her.

“Many people raise ducks. Ducks are easier to raise than chickens, they are less likely to get sick, and once you drive them into the river they will find food on their own and grow fast.

The meat is just not very tasty, so around the end of the year, many farmers couldn’t sell their ducks at the market.

Some people even wanted to sell us duck feathers directly." But Xie Qingcheng certainly didn't accept it before.

"Then you should go and ask the Yang family. If possible, we can build a furnace there today and roast duck tomorrow. We should try to sell a batch before the New Year." Song Qingwan hurriedly urged him to act.

"Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria to ask." Purchasing is his responsibility. Xie Qingcheng works hard and is never complaining. Fortunately, a batch of bonuses can be distributed this year, haha!

The final result, of course, was that the Yang family was willing to sell the shop because the Song family offered a high price.

The next day, Song Qingwan had bricks brought from the outskirts of Beijing and built ovens. However, the shop was not large, so she could only build five large ovens.

Little Five Song Qingfang followed Song Qingwan around and was curious about everything.

Song Qingwan only explained the roast duck process to her once, and the little girl remembered it. She was also able to apply it to other situations and added some seasonings on her own.

Anyway, she's better than Song Qingwan, who's an amateur at cooking.

The pancakes stuffed with duck meat require sugar and eggs and all that other stuff, and even the accompanying cold dishes are delicious.

So, before Song Qingya's down jacket was made, the roast duck restaurant that her sister bought for Song Qingfang was opened first.

Facts have proved that Song Qingwan's method is feasible. The first batch of roast duck produced by the roast duck restaurant was distributed to people from the fine factory for trial, and of course it was unanimously praised.

On the first day the shop opened, roast duck was sold at half price, benefiting the neighbors.

Song Qingwan didn't ask much about the roast duck restaurant, leaving it to Song Qingfang to manage. If she didn't understand something, she would ask Song Niang directly.

In addition to selling roast duck, the roast duck restaurant also produces duck feathers to provide Song Qingya with down jackets.

So within a few days, down jackets were also born.

This thin piece of clothing does not make you look bulky when worn in the middle of your clothes. Instead, it is very warm. It is very practical, especially for the elderly.

The key is that the price is not expensive. After Song Niang's business promotion, whether it is roast duck, down jackets or sewing machines, they all sell well.

Down jackets are very useful, so Li Minghe ordered a batch of them to be used in the military in the northwest, which made the Song family make another fortune.

Now that you have down jackets, how could you possibly be short of down quilts?

For a time, the entire capital city was surrounded by down warmers, especially in the middle and lower-end markets, where almost everyone owned a set.

Even though this winter is very cold, they are no longer afraid of the cold.

Coal replaced silver charcoal, and down jackets and quilts replaced cotton and cotton-padded jackets.

The goods that the eldest princess had stockpiled at high prices were not lost on her, but her profits were certainly greatly reduced.

And all this just benefited the people of the capital.

Mr. Hong of the Red Escort Agency soon saw the business opportunity and ordered another batch of goods from the Song family to sell to places where the roads were not blocked by heavy snow. He also purchased duck feathers locally and sold them to the Song family.

Make another profit back and forth, and repeat the cycle~
It was under such circumstances that the relatives of the Song family rushed to the capital and arrived soon.

But, can they really enter Beijing like this?

Second update~
