Chapter 384: Chapter 384 Warming Feelings (3)_1

"Is it silk?" someone guessed.

"Jiangnan is the home of silkworms, we can’t raise silkworms in the Northern Land." Lin Ziyin joked with the crowd. "Although we don’t have silkworms, we have found something great for the chilly weather of Northern Land. It’s lightweight and soft, most importantly, its insulation is much better than cotton. Everyone, come and try it."

Everyone has a quilt at home, so no one was genuinely interested in it, let alone bothered to touch it.

Upon hearing Lin Ziyin’s call, in order not to be disrespectful, they also became intrigued. Many of them went over to feel the quilt.

Upon touching it, they immediately felt the difference. The quilt was indeed as Lin Ziyin had described - lightweight, soft, and warm.

Chu Suifeng narrowed his eyes. How did such a good thing exist? How come he hadn’t known about it?

"Miss Lin, what’s inside?" an impatient one asked.

"Duck down and goose down." Lin Ziyin’s answer surprised everyone.

"Impossible. There is no smell at all." someone objected.

Others also had a look of doubt.

"Does fur stink? If handled well, the nobles in the Capital City can’t wait to get their hands on it. Rest assured, all the duck down from the Lin Family have undergone special treatment. I’m not bragging, but to others, even a pile of duck down in front of them would be considered trash." Lin Ziyin saw a glint in people’s eyes and added with a smile.

Everyone heard this and thought, wasn’t that the truth? Everyone had seen duck down before, but no one had ever considered it valuable.

"If the duck down is not processed correctly, it’ll have a strong smell in cold weather, and it might even suffocate one when it gets warmer. We have an 18-step process to sterilize, deodorize, and comprehensively clean the duck down." She gestured, and Yu Shao’en handed her a little bag of duck down.

The merchants looked at the duck down in the bag, and their thoughts of replicating the process instantly vanished.

"Duck down can be used not only for quilts but also for clothes. However, clothes made of duck down can’t be worn directly against the skin, so we’re also launching a type of clothing with excellent thermal insulation and can be worn close to the skin." She clapped her hands, and Yu Shao’en presented a cotton coat on each side, and Qiaoqiao carried several peculiar clothes behind him.

There was no need to say more about the down jackets – they were lightweight, warm, and beautifully trimmed with fur. Everyone stared at them. However, nobody understood the clothes in Qiaoqiao’s hands.

How do you wear this? It doesn’t even have a front opening.

Yu Shao’en quickly demonstrated to everyone.

Oh, so that’s how it is! Seeing it in person, everyone suddenly understood.

"What kind of material is used to weave this?" After trying it on, many people realized that the clothing wasn’t made of cotton.

"Sheep’s wool, or cashmere. However, the price of cashmere will be ten times that of wool," said Lin Ziyin. "Apart from making sweaters, we also sell wool blankets, and even sell wool thread. If any of you can secure the exclusive distribution rights, you can definitely find embroidery ladies to knit sweaters to sell."

Distribution rights? Upon hearing this sensitive term, many people perked up. Were the Lin Family not planning to sell to everyone? Thinking of this possibility, a wave of anxiety swept over them as they began to rack their brains on how to acquire those rights.

"What are the conditions, Miss Lin?" Mo Gongzi asked, speaking for everyone present.

"Let’s not rush into the details. We still have some more products to introduce. After that, we can start discussing terms," Lin Ziyin waved her hand and responded. "However, I should mention that once you see the effects, don’t get any funny ideas. I did not invite the ladies from the Flower Building here with any ulterior motives. I just wanted everyone to see the effects."
