This time, people bought some silk quilts and blankets in Kyoto, but in winter, they still had to cover them with quilts. In the past, people slept on the kang, and each person could have a quilt. This year, all of them were replaced with beds, and at least two quilts were needed.

Radiators are installed in all buildings, but everyone hasn't used them yet, and no one knows what the heating is like when it falls down.

With sufficient foreign threads, the women of Hantun Village worked overtime to weave coarse cloth overnight, and almost every family in the spacious study room was a loom.

Aunt Hongying and niece Dongmei, the two weave cloth when they have time, stay up until more than ten o'clock every night, and in less than ten days, they weave a machine of cloth.

Aunt Hongying first made a set of four-piece bedding for Yoyo, and immediately spread Yoyo on the bed with joy. Then I pestered Aunt Hongying, made matching tablecloths, curtains and pillows, and after all were replaced, the whole room was full of local atmosphere, simple and warm.

Zhiru saw it, and immediately went to find her own mother, the little girl was domineering, and she immediately had to arrange the same arrangement as Sister Youyou, blocking the door and not letting her out, so that her mother would do it.

A large machine with twelve hooks is enough to make two sets for Youyou and Zhiru. Looking at Didi and Zhigao's envious eyes, Aunt Hongying happily continued her weaving business.

She was determined to prepare a set of coarse cloth bedding for the whole family before the year, which was a big project. Even with the addition of Dongmei, the task is heavy enough.

Youyou decided to start buying coarse cloth in advance, whether David wanted it or not, in his own mall, these hand-woven coarse cloths were luxury goods and the price was super high.

With David's reason, no one thinks the purchase of coarse cloth is abrupt, and the preferences of foreigners cannot be understood by Chinese people. There are many ways to make money, and everyone is happy.

The price of foreign thread is higher, which can save labor and time, and after discussing with grandma, it is still purchased at the price of ten yuan a bed.

In the past, the hand-spun cotton cloth continued to be purchased, David disliked fading, and there was a way to do it, and the technology of later generations was developed, and it was a piece of cake to prevent decolorization.

In the future, foreign threads will be promoted, and hand-spun cotton cloth may be withdrawn from the stage of history.

After the autumn harvest, the Yoyo family began to buy a large amount of coarse cloth, which greatly increased the sales of the spinning mill in Xinshizhuang.

Yoyo collects coarse cloth, regardless of color and quality, just a price, ten yuan for a hook cloth. Even if it is the old Chen cloth at the bottom of the original pressure box, as long as it is not mildewy and does not fade, it will be accepted by Youyou's family.

It turns out that weaving cotton cloth, spinning takes labor, a hook cloth two and a half catties, at least five days to spin out, a machine ten hook cloth with twenty-five pounds of cotton thread, spinning thread in February.

Threading, dyeing, pulping, and threading, each of these processes takes a day, and the cotton thread spun by itself is uneven in thickness and often broken.

The "foreign thread" sold in Xinshizhuang is a kidnapping thread dyed with lust, and these processes are saved. It is also particularly strong and does not break easily, as does the fine yarn with a single ply.

Ten hooks and one machine of cloth, with "foreign thread", a woman can easily weave it in half a month.

A hook cloth with two and a half catties of strands, two yuan per catty, the cost of five yuan, can be sold for ten yuan. With a machine of ten hooks, you can earn fifty yuan. Weaving two machines of cloth a month can earn 100 yuan.

Weaving cloth with a single strand of washed cotton thread, a hook can not save a pound of thread, but it takes a lot of work, and it takes at least a day and a half to weave a hook cloth.

Save two yuan for a pound of wire, earn two dollars less in half a day, and fifteen yuan a month, people will settle accounts, so at the beginning, there were people who bought single strands, and then they all bought mergers.

The monthly income of 100 yuan is now considered a high income, nearly twice as high as that of state workers, but it is also much harder.

As long as there is money to be made, hard-working rural women are not afraid of hard work. After the autumn harvest, every household loom rings, weaving cloth at dawn, and pulling (zou, meaning to do) thread tassels at night.

The weft of weaving cotton cloth must first be made into thread tassels, which are used in the weaving shuttle, which also requires a lot of work.

Nowadays, there are very few villages in the countryside that have electricity, and it is certainly not possible to rely on kerosene lamps to weave cloth at night.

The women of Hantun Village and Xinshizhuang have electric lights at night, and under the bright electric lights, weaving is not in the way at all. They work during the day and weave at night, and some even stay up until twelve o'clock at night.

Women weave, and the men in the family are much more diligent, cooking and doing housework, and some even help to pull threads and tassels.

These housework are invisible to outsiders, and the people who peel cotton peaches on the streets and alleys are basically men. Planting summer cotton is just the same disadvantage, there are many flowers after frost. In order to grow wheat, after the cold dew festival, people pulled out the summer cotton and put it under the base of the wall in the rising sun.

Under the sunshine, the cotton peach gradually blooms, in order to prevent staining with broken cotton leaves, the cotton peach just grinned, you have to peel out the cotton wool in time, peeling the cotton peach is actually a tedious job.

In the past, it was women who peeled cotton peaches, but this year they have been replaced by men. At first, some people were embarrassed, but when they saw everyone like this, they got used to it.

Everyone used "foreign thread" to weave cloth, and the cotton thread of Xinshizhuang soon opened up sales. The funds were quickly withdrawn, with an output value of more than 6,000 per day, and nearly 200,000 a month.

The Xinshizhuang Spinning Mill, with a daily output of 1.5 tons, can weave 1,200 hook cloths, which means enough for 1,200 women to weave cloth, and half of the women of Zhangji Commune cannot supply it.

The spinning mill in Xinshizhuang really made their captain look at it, and the raw materials were not worried, and the sales were not worried.

But the investment of 2 million is a huge amount of money in this era, even the commune-level finance, and there is not much that can be taken out.

The new Shizhuang textile factory can be said to be off to a good start, and a new problem has arisen. That is to process lint, leaving a lot of cottonseed and short-staple cotton.

State-run spinning mills, the raw material is lint allocated by the state. The seed cotton purchased at the commune's purchasing station is processed into lint at the cotton mill and included in the national plan.

Xinshizhuang is a collective enterprise, and like the meat factory in Hantun Village, the state only allows the purchase of the required raw materials, and the price has to be based on the market price. The pigs purchased by Hantun are nearly double the national price.

Xinshizhuang can buy cottonseed according to the national price, which is good. As for the processed lint, that is an indicator of the state plan, and there is no need to think about it at all.

Therefore, they purchased lint processing equipment from the beginning of the factory, but they missed the large amount of cottonseed produced by the production of lint.

Three catties of seed cotton are processed into one catty of lint to produce two catties of cottonseed. Hantun Village consumes 1.5 tons of lint every day, leaving only 3 tons of cottonseed. In a few days, the cottonseed in the warehouse was piled up like a mountain.

The cottonseeds of the national cotton mill have their own oil extraction equipment, and all of them are processed into cotton oil. Cotton oil is sold to the Food Bureau, and cotton cakes can be used as feed and fertilizer to sell to farmers.
