Indeed, before coming here, Jiang Hai had indeed considered choosing this kind of clothes because it was really warm. Yesterday, he saw Bell wearing such clothes and was really envious. However, after coming here, he found that this kind of clothes The clothes turned out to be the cheapest, and Jiang Hai didn't want to buy some of them, even though he didn't like to compare.
But he is a rich man now. If all the clothes sold here are like this, then he will buy it. But he has clearly seen better ones, which makes him unwilling to buy them again.
"I want something better." He waved his hand, interrupting the young man's words, and Jiang Hai continued to speak to him.
"Better? Let's look here..." After hearing what Jiang Hai said, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became even brighter. He led Jiang Hai to a counter next to him and began to introduce it. clothes.
Basically, there are only three categories of cold-proof clothes. The polyester ones mentioned earlier are on the same level as cotton. The better ones are down ones. Each type of down jacket is different, so the price is also different. .
In fact, people who don’t understand down feel that it is just the feathers of ducks and geese. In fact, there are many kinds of down. Generally speaking, goose down is better than duck down. The goose down that can be bought on the market is basically made of goose feathers. That is, the goose feathers are cut off on both sides and the middle one is made. Remove the stems, and the fine hair formed in this way is the down inside the down jackets sold outside.
However, this kind of velvet is actually not very good. The really good velvet is the layer of fine hair close to the body of the goose.
When Jiang Hai was in China, he once heard Xu Wei say that a relative of Xu Wei's family was from the countryside and specialized in raising geese. In late autumn, foreign merchants would go to the village to harvest this kind of feathers.
It is sold by liang. Two or three hundred yuan for one liang of this kind of goose down is considered a small amount. Don't think it is expensive. You must know that even ten big geese may not be able to get three liang of this kind of goose down, and this kind of goose down is sold by liang. A well-filled down jacket will be very warm with just a few taels.
And if such a down jacket was sold for six or seven thousand a piece, it would be considered a soft act on his part.
Even good ones can be sold for tens of thousands or tens of thousands, which is comparable to mink fur.
Of course, people in the United States don't pay attention to these things. The down jackets they have here are the ones with the hair stems removed, and they are not cheap. A more beautiful down jacket costs about three hundred dollars, which is That’s equivalent to two thousand soft girl coins.
Jiang Hai took one look at the down jacket and couldn't help but curl his lips. To be honest, he felt that buying a down jacket at this price was not worth it.
Perhaps seeing that Jiang Hai was not very satisfied with this, the young man here couldn't help but smile.
"The only thing better than down jackets is leather jackets! But there are cheap ones and expensive ones." Looking at Jiang Hai, the people here couldn't help but say, but Jiang Hai became interested after listening to his words. .
"Where is it?" I looked around and found that although the store was not small, there was no place to display leather clothes.
"I'll take it out for you in the back. You don't know that the people from the Animal Protection Association are the most annoying people. The state allows us to sell them, but these guys come here every day to cause trouble. We have to put these things away. Inside." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the young man said helplessly while walking inside. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai suddenly thought of dog lovers.
"Didn't you say that you are not allowed to sell leather clothes now?" Jiang Hai asked curiously as he followed him forward.
"We are not allowed to sell wolf skins, bear skins, other deer skins, mink skins, rabbit skins, and fox skins. I don't have mink skins here. You and I go to the big shopping mall, but they sell them there." The ones are also more expensive, and it is impossible to buy a mink fur coat without three thousand dollars." Seeing that Jiang Hai was very interested, the young man here also introduced it to Jiang Hai.
Although the United States has 300 million people, it is still sparsely populated. In addition, the protection of wild animals is very strong, so there are many animals in the United States that are causing disasters, such as the most famous deer. , not only in Canada where deer are infested, hunting is allowed, but also in the United States, because people in European and American countries almost do not eat wild animals, unlike in China, where game is a rare treasure, but in In Europe and the United States, people here believe that the meat of wild animals is too thin, that is, it has a bad taste. At the same time, the wild smell has not been eliminated, and the taste is not as good as that of domestic animals.
And the most important thing is that these wild animals are very likely to have parasites. If they cannot be killed, it will be troublesome for people to eat them, but they are fatal. Therefore, in the United States, more than 98% of People don't eat wild animals.
Except for some outdoor enthusiasts, they rarely eat these. Wild rabbits and wild deer would rather be killed than eaten. However, the meat and internal organs are not eaten, but the skins can be peeled off. Made into leather clothing.
However, there is no way to sell this thing openly, because the people from the Animal Protection Association will scold the government to death.
It is precisely because of the domineering nature of this association that, except for some foreign luxury stores that sell fur, no domestic store will openly display fur for sale. It's artificial fur, much cheaper than the real thing.
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Hai looked like an Oriental, the clerk might not have given him these leather jackets.
Soon after the clerk entered the warehouse, he took out a lot of leather coats.
The styles of these leather jackets are very simple. Unlike the wide variety of leather jackets in China, there are not so many patterns and styles. The only thing that surprised Jiang Hai was that these leather jackets are really thick. In China, most of the leather jackets are Stretch a little, and the leather that was originally ten centimeters will be stretched to twenty centimeters or even thirty centimeters. And the leather jacket here is one centimeter. Jiang Hai picked up one casually and blew on it. This is When his mother was still alive, she taught him how to tell whether a leather jacket was good or not. Blow on it. If the bottom is exposed, it is not a good leather jacket. It is overstretched. If the bottom is not exposed, it is not bad.
As a result, this blow, let alone leaking the bottom, Jiang Hai took a look and saw that it was densely covered with hair, it was really real.
"The leather jackets in our store are not fancy. The only advantage is that they are thick and cheap. These pieces are made of deerskin, with different numbers and different prices. The small one is $400, and the extra-large one is $600. , I think you can wear medium-sized ones... These are fox fur ones, which are cheaper, costing 200 US dollars each, and the rabbit ones are even cheaper, about 100 US dollars..." Listening to the introduction of the person next to him, Jiang Hai couldn't help but He curled his lips. For one hundred dollars, two hundred dollars a piece, he might as well buy a down jacket. The only better-looking deerskin coat looked similar to a woolen coat, which Jiang Hai didn't like.
So he kept selecting back and forth among the leather coats that this person took out. But after selecting for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. In his sight, a coat appeared in front of him. This coat was similar to The deerskin ones are somewhat similar, and are also yellow and scratchy, but the hair is longer than the deerskin ones, giving Jiang Hai a very rough feeling.
Seeing this coat, Jiang Hai couldn't help but pick it up. Seeing Jiang Hai's actions, the young man who was still talking here also opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't even pay attention to how to take out the coat just now. .
"What kind of leather is this?" Looking at the young man, Jiang Hai asked curiously. Through the touch of his hands, Jiang Hai could feel that this piece of leather was much heavier than deerskin, although the style was still almost the same. No, but it gives people an unusually heavy feeling.
"This is mountain lion skin. To be honest, this is really not allowed to be sold." Jiang Hai's eyes lit up when he heard the word mountain lion. The young clerk shrugged helplessly. The mountain lion appeared in Winthrop at the beginning of this year and injured two people. After it was shot and killed by the town's police station, the town government wanted to sell the skin to subsidize government subsidies. This kind of thing is not uncommon in small towns in the United States. A good buyer was originally found, but this matter was brought to the Animal Protection Association by a female police officer in the town. As soon as the people from the association came out to intervene , the town has no way to sell it.
In the end, I could only deposit it in this store. Unknowingly, I had already deposited it for a year, and naturally the store did not sell it.
"Since it's for sale, then sell it to me. I'm quite interested in this leather." Taking the leather jacket, Jiang Hai tried it on. Not to mention, it was a bit bigger, but overall it was pretty good. The most important thing is that Jiang Hai likes this thing.
"It's okay to sell it to you. After all, this thing is originally for sale, but first of all, this thing is not cheap. Secondly, if you are found by the Animal Protection Association because of this thing, it has nothing to do with us." Listen. When it comes to Jiang Hai, the ordinary clerks on the American side don't have any hard-to-get intentions, so it would be quite troublesome to keep this thing here with him.
Since Jiang Hai was not short of money and wanted to buy it, he would just sell it to him directly.
"No problem. I have to ask clearly first. If I wear this thing out, the police won't arrest me." After thinking about it, if I were to wear tiger skin or lion skin clothes on the streets in China, what would happen? But if someone is really invited to drink coffee, and that’s not the case in the United States, then he has to consider whether to buy it.
"Don't worry about this. There is a number on the sewn label inside your clothes. It is the number allowed by the government for selling. The police will not care about you. The only thing you need to worry about is the Animal Protection Association. Only That's all." Shrugging, the young clerk spoke. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai was relieved. This mountain lion skin coat cost Jiang Hai two thousand dollars, but Jiang Hai Hai was quite happy with the purchase. In addition, he also bought a large deerskin leather suit, a down jacket, a set of military polyester fiber clothes, pants and shoes, which added up to a lot.
"How do you sell this thing?" After confirming the clothes, Jiang Hai pointed to the bow hanging on the wall.
