There were no rags, but just these few words made Li Chunhua's smile disappear, and she walked out of the purchasing station in frustration.

This side business had just started and it suffered such a big blow.

It made her feel that the great unity in her hand had become much heavier.

Director Yao said nothing when they signed the order, and only mentioned the matter when they wanted to buy raw materials.

The point is to let them solve it themselves.

But they already had other ways to buy scraps.

It's not that there is no solution.

"Xiaoyu, why do the educated youth from other brigades buy so many scraps of cloth? They are not necessary for mending clothes!"

Li Chunhua pulled He Xiaoyu over. Now that Lu Xinghe, the backbone, was gone, she put all her thoughts on He Xiaoyu.

"I don't know, but let's go to the tailor's shop and see if we have enough scraps of cloth."

As He Xiaoyu spoke, she also had doubts in her heart. She was also a female educated youth in her past, and she knew that female educated youth from big cities had extremely high requirements for the appearance of their clothes.

Few people use scraps of cloth to mend clothes.

Last time they purchased two large bags but still couldn't buy out all the rags from the supply and marketing cooperative.

I really don’t know why those female educated youth who purchased the rags needed so many rags?

Do I have to be a headdresser too?

Except for Liu Kun, the other two male educated youth rarely came to the county town and took the same bus with Li Chunhua.

Just go about your own business.

Only Liu Kun had been obediently playing the role of protector, following behind the two of them without saying a word.

The three of them went to the tailor shop first.

Just as several people guessed, a batch of rags was bought here a few days ago.

The tailor shops in the county town simply couldn't keep as much as they needed.

In the end, I could only do as Director Yao said and go to the cotton mill to check the price of processed cloth.

However, the cost of making the head ridge has increased again.

At that time, cotton mills were still collective operations.

Because the climate in the north is different from that in the south, it is dry and the temperature difference is relatively large.

If the humidity of the cotton thread is not enough, the thread group will easily break.

Large temperature differences will affect the coloring of cotton cloth.

Therefore, cotton spinning mills in many parts of Northeast China have been half-dying in this era.

The people in the upper echelons don't care and only care about the benefits they can get.

The people below are lazy and dishonest, but they only earn a fixed salary every month anyway.

Processed cloth is cloth with quality problems that is distributed to internal employees to cover their wages when cotton mills are unable to pay their employees.

Although they were required not to resell the fabrics, the fabrics could not be eaten or consumed, so in order to save money, many employees secretly sold them!

Gradually, it developed into an industrial chain.

Every winter when the Chinese New Year is approaching, cotton mills will process a large number of processed cloth.

But it all depends on luck, the price of processing cloth is cheap and no tickets are required.

Only people with inside information can buy it first.

Linhai County is not big. After leaving the sewing shop, it took less than half an hour for the three of them to arrive in front of the cotton spinning mill.

When passing by the waste recycling station, the sharp-eyed He Xiaoyu also saw Li Ruonan.

Li Ruonan was busying around inside, and no one knew what she was doing.

Just looking at her smiling face, it was obvious that she had gained a lot.

Although Li Ruonan has not yet distributed the share of the felt socks to the team.

However, He Xiaoyu's mind was on dealing with the cloth at this time, and she just wanted to go home and tell Lu Xinghe about it.

At the gate of the cotton mill, the security team at the gate heard that we were here to buy processed cloth.

He asked the three of them to wait at the door, and took another security guard with him to go into the venue to look for someone.

Not long after, a pretty daughter-in-law in work clothes ran out in a hurry.

"You came so early to buy processed cloth? Who got the news from?"

The pretty daughter-in-law looked flustered, but she calmed down when she looked at He Xiaoyu and Li Chunhua.

Although He Xiaoyu had a stunning appearance, even she, the cotton mill manager, was a little jealous.

But the way he's dressed, it's obvious that he's a country bumpkin from a small brigade in the county.

"We came from the lower team and heard the news from Director Yao of the purchasing station."

Li Chunhua replied generously.

"Director Yao? Oh, then I know!"

When the pretty wife heard this, she burst into laughter.

"Brother Pan, open the door and follow me in." The pretty wife winked at the security captain and walked to the front without looking back.

After passing the production workshop and office building, we stopped in front of a small warehouse.

"You are lucky this year. In the past, this kind of processed cloth that does not require tickets was in short supply. Most of it was sold out when it was first received at the beginning of the month. However, this year's processed cloth is a bit special. If you are sure you want to buy it, I will let you see it!"

The pretty daughter-in-law folded her hands across her chest with her chin raised in an extremely proud manner.

Even the mole at the corner of the eye has been raised a little.

"Special? How special?"

Li Chunhua asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"Can I tell you this? The quality of the cloth is pretty good. You went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy rags instead of cotton, right?

Don't worry, the quality is definitely better than rags! ”

Hearing that they were introduced by Director Yao, the pretty wife also guessed what happened, but still refused to open the warehouse to them.

In fact, just one year later.

After the national conference at the end of the year, large-scale reforms began across the country.

The processed cloth is just like the cloth sold normally, with samples and brochures, and the price is much cheaper than the genuine cloth.

But now. . .

This is something that everyone knows tacitly.

With this pretty daughter-in-law blocking the door like this, the three men really have no idea what to do!

"Would you please wait for us to discuss this?"

He Xiaoyu asked with a frown.

"Okay, but hurry up, I still have to go to work!"

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoyu pulled Li Chunhua and Liu Kun aside.

"Captain Li, there is no problem with the quality, but I can't show it to you yet. Do you think there is a problem with the color?"

He Xiaoyu found a loophole in his pretty wife.

"Color? We have all kinds of rags, so it shouldn't matter if there's a problem with the color, right?"

Liu Kun, who had been silent the whole time, tilted his head and looked inside through the gap: "It should be a color problem. I see the scraps of cloth inside are covered with fertilizer bags, so I can't tell what color it is. But for this head, any color is fine, right? The greener it is, the brighter it is."

Li Chunhua nodded upon hearing this.

"Xiao Yu, there are so many orders, we can't do without fabric. Even if there is a problem with the color, we will find a way after we go back. Haven't you heard that buying processed fabric requires luck?"

The three of them nodded and decided to buy enough cloth.

But He Xiaoyu always felt a little uneasy, as if she hadn't thought of something.

Like a figure. . . If Lu Xinghe was by his side at this moment.

After seeing the three people discussing it, the pretty daughter-in-law decided to buy it.

He directly stated the price and finalized the purchase quantity before opening the door of the small warehouse.

Open a few fertilizer bags and sew them together to form a covering fabric.

Just one glance and He Xiaoyu and Li Chunhua were dumbfounded!

Everywhere you look, it’s all red!

Yes!

This batch of fabric only has one color!

Festive bright red!
