Douluo: My Sand Sculpture Player

Chapter 96 Business

After selling off all the clothes he had on hand, Fang Zheng watched the number of his Destiny Coins rise in a straight line. With an arc on his lips, he first exchanged some of the Destiny Coins into real money and put it into his bank account, and then went to Yang The wooden house where Ming is located.

Yang Ming's wooden house is closest to the big banyan tree in the center of the camp. It has the best geographical conditions and scenery in the entire player camp. After being torn down, rebuilt and renovated many times, the wooden house no longer looks as crude as it did at first. It is shabby, with walls made of bricks, a roof covered with thatch, and surrounded by a fence.

The door of the house is paved with small and exquisite cobblestones to form a winding path, and it also has its own back garden. There are some flowers and plants planted in the garden, which looks quite interesting.

Of course, in the eyes of many players, Yang Ming is probably one of the first beta players to enter the game, so it is understandable that he occupies the best part of the player camp and such a large area, and there is no objection.

After Fang Zheng came in, he saw Yang Ming processing the parts of the soul beasts brought back from the last event. The meat of those soul beasts was basically consumed by the players at the bonfire party. Don't doubt the players' generosity. They are from flower farming families and have appetites. It was surprisingly astonishing, not to mention the huge consumption during the all-night bonfire party.

"Brother Yang Ming, I came here to buy some soul beast furs from you."

Yang Ming paused what he was doing, and when he saw Fang Zheng coming over, he pursed his lips and said, "Sit there and wait for me. I'll talk to you about this matter after I finish working on what I'm doing."

Fang Zheng was not surprised and immediately found a chair in the room to sit down.

In the second half of last night's bonfire party, Yang Ming had already quit and went back to the house to rest. He didn't go crazy with the players, so he was in good spirits now, at least not as tired as other players.

Yang Ming discovered that after the fur was tanned, the fur of some soul beasts had problems such as hair loss. In the final analysis, it was mostly due to the high temperature in summer and his failure to handle the segmentation, storage and preservation of the fur in the first time. It is a pity that a very good trophy has lost its value.

Yang Ming put the soul beast's skin into the bucket, and used a sharp stone tool to scrape off all the subcutaneous tissue, fat, etc. The cleaner the better, be careful not to scratch it through, otherwise it will easily rot. After scraping it clean, use a dryer and harder tool. Thatch is used as a rag to dry the inside and outside.

Rawhide is mainly composed of collagen fibers, containing protein, fat and water, and is particularly prone to bacterial reproduction, decomposition and decay. For this reason, anti-corrosion treatment must be done in time.

The most common and convenient method is the air drying method. It is to dry the fresh leather to a moisture content of 12% to 16%, creating environmental conditions that are not conducive to bacterial growth and reproduction, and achieving the purpose of antisepsis.

Yang Ming first smoothed the fur of the rawhide, with the skin board down and the fur side up. He stretched the limbs according to their natural shape and laid them flat on the wooden board or attached to the wall. Be careful not to overstretch the skin until the skin board is set and peeled off. With the leather panel facing up, place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry. During the drying process, it is necessary to prevent exposure to sunlight, frost, and trampling by humans and animals.

After settling the matter at hand, Yang Ming had time to talk to Fang Zheng and asked, "Did you just say that you planned to buy some soul beast furs? How many specifically did you plan to buy? And what type do you want?"

Fang Zheng looked around at the soul beast furs that were drying in Yang Ming's house, and he roughly had an idea in his mind.

Fang Zheng had worked in a textile factory before, and he knew very well that things like fur had different conditions.

In real life, the definition of leather is divided into two levels. The first level is "skin". A simple understanding is that raw skin obtained from animals cannot be directly used to make leather products without aging and preventing cortical rot.

Many people may eat more of pig skin and use less of it. Its surface is rough, with three pores forming a triangular pattern. It is light in weight. Although the pores are thick, its air permeability is poor.

It can be said that cowhide is the most commonly used and widely used in the production of leather products, and has become a representative leather in the leather goods industry. And depending on the age and gender of the cow, cowhide also has its own set of detailed classifications.

According to the types of sheepskin, there are goatskin, lambskin, and sheepskin. Its general characteristics are that it feels delicate and soft, and the pores are relatively small among leather types. At the same time, depending on the user group, sheepskins of different ages will be selected accordingly. For example, suede is used to make clothes for children, while goatskin is used to make clothes for adults.

The second level is leather. To put it simply, the original leather is put through the process of "tanning" so that the original leather can reach the state of making leather goods. There are four common types of "tanning": vegetable tanning, chrome tanning, oil tanning, and mixed tanning.

Fang Zheng planned to buy some soul beast furs in order to open up new business opportunities for himself. After all, everyone knew that one could not hang oneself from a tree. Naturally, he did not want to rely solely on the business of the Man-Faced Demon Spider's silk clothes. He has been living, hoping to make huge profits by making leather products from the furs of other soul beasts and selling them.

Although many players have realized this, they do not have Fang Zheng's experience and skills. It is obviously not practical to master the relevant skills through learning alone, which gives Fang Zheng a time lag to plan.

Fangzheng walked around and observed, and finally selected the furs of two spirit beasts, the three-tailed fox and the five-color deer. As for the fur of the spirit beast like the needle boar, even dogs disliked it, and he didn't know what use it was. On the other hand, the remaining fat from the soul beasts can be made into daily necessities such as soap. Unfortunately, this kind of thing also requires relevant technology, which Fangzheng does not have. What's more, he is only one person after all, and his time and energy are limited, so naturally he can't. Will be wasted casually.

Founder is obviously very business-minded and realizes that the closed beta version 3.0 will have an influx of new players, and the number of female players will definitely see a huge leap. No matter where they are, women have always been among the consumers. The main group, if you want to plan huge profits, you must naturally focus on the female players.

Women have always loved beauty, and female players are no exception. In many online games, they will even pay a lot of money for a good-looking skin or a good-looking suit. Founder chose three-tailed fox and five-color deer. The fur of the soul beast is intended to be used to customize a batch of clothing and boots for female players.
