But the problem is that the new version of work cloth is not only in great demand, but also requires very high standards for raw materials.
The cotton fibers are required to be long, bright in color, and have good elasticity.
Due to water and soil conditions, the local cotton in Taifeng County cannot meet the requirements in terms of quality or quantity.
After the reserve cotton was used up, Tong Qifang and Xu Deshun both suggested settling for the second best and using ordinary cotton nearby, but Xiao Jiahua was unwilling to compromise.
"Let's wait a little longer. Jianghuai, North China, Hanjiang... Let's compare several production areas. We will always find the most suitable one."
Having said that, Xiao Jiahua was unsure about using the production standards of decades later to judge the "past".
.
After leaving the National Cotton Mill, Xiao Jiahua returned to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Ding Qinqin told her that a Director Liu from Guangdong Textile Factory had come and had been waiting in the reception room for a long time.
"Guangdong Textile Factory?" Xiao Jiahua was a little surprised. "Don't be a fake one."
Yang Guangxia originally used the name of this factory to defraud people.
"That shouldn't be the case." Ding Qinqin was also extra cautious this time. "I read the letter of introduction several times and even called the Guangdong Textile Factory myself to verify everything!"
"Then let's meet." Xiao Jiahua stood up.
What is rare is that Director Liu from Guangdong Textile Factory is also a female employee.
Liu Yalan is in her thirties or forties and is in charge of weaving technology in the factory.
She was dragging a suitcase and looked a little tired. As soon as she saw Xiao Jiahua, she took the initiative to greet him.
"Manager, I'm here this time to apologize to your company for the incident with Yang Guangxia. It's all our fault for not managing the tail goods strictly.
"Second, our factory has just produced a batch of pure cotton towels. Please see if we can start a cooperation. We are also good friends!"
After listening to this, Xiao Jiahua's focus was on: "Director Liu, you came all the way from Guangdong by yourself, and you didn't bring an assistant with you?"
Liu Yalan nodded and smiled: "It's not surprising, autumn and winter are the peak seasons, the factory is very busy, there is a shortage of manpower, it's okay for me to go on a business trip."
Xiao Jiahua admired: "But aren't you afraid to be alone? What if there is danger?"
Liu Yalan: "What's there to be afraid of? Even though I'm from Guangdong, when I was young, I studied in Shanghai and often took the train to travel between the north and the south. I'm used to it. The train is safe. I can get there in two days of sleep, right?"
"You are right."
This is a genuine college student, and Xiao Jiahua admires him very much.
Compared with high-speed trains and airplanes, the early green trains were slow and stuffy. It took at least two days to get from Guangdong to Taifeng County, including transfers.
Traveling alone on business is definitely a big challenge for women.
Fortunately, during this special period, there is not much movement of people across the country.
Along the way, the staff on the train and in the guesthouse performed their duties conscientiously, and basic personal safety was guaranteed.
Seeing the other party's sincerity, Xiao Jiahua did not hesitate and looked at the towel seriously.
Liu Yalan brought towels in many colors, which were neatly placed in her suitcase.
In the 1960s and 1970s, domestic towel weaving and dyeing technology was still in its infancy and could only produce solid-color towels and color-striped towels.
These towels have poor color and color fastness, and are easy to fade and shed.
The only way to solve the problem is to upgrade the weaving equipment and introduce technology from abroad, which is not very realistic at the moment. Xiao Jiahua can only use light-colored fabrics, which have to be changed almost every month.
However, the towels that Director Liu brought, although the color was ordinary, were made of good fabric and were thicker and softer than many towels.
"What kind of cotton is this towel made of?" Xiao Jiahua asked in surprise.
