Chapter 231: Baotou Manufacturing
Qin was about to step forward when he heard the conversation between the two little daughters-in-law in front of him: "New cloth washing ink, what is this, do you see it, over there, two feet of cloth, yesterday afternoon, it was soaked there, it has been soaked for more than a day, and now, it is still that color, and it has not faded at all." ”
The Qin clan ran over, and when they heard their conversation, several other women also followed, just in the courtyard, next to the well, there was a big bucket, soaked in it, two feet of blue cloth, no, not a piece, and cyan, black, and indescribable dark blue, each piece, different colors of cloth, not shy away from it, soaked in such a big vat, obviously, the time is not short, but in the water, it is still very clear.
Just then, a guy walked by, Qin grabbed him and asked, "When did these soak in?" ”
"The blue cloth was soaked yesterday afternoon, because the blue cloth only arrived yesterday afternoon, the blue and black ones have been two days, and the dark blue ones have been three days!"
"It's really fake, don't be a show!" A little daughter-in-law said.
The man's face changed, and he said: "Don't talk nonsense, our cloth shop has been established for nearly a hundred years, and it is a well-known reputation cloth store, there is no reason to fake here, you know, this batch of Baotou cloth, from 10 days ago, has been placed here, there are many people who buy it, have you heard of fading!" ”
The man's words made the little daughter-in-law who spoke before her face flushed, and she was about to refute a few words, but the sister-in-law next to her immediately pulled her over, to be honest, she couldn't believe it, but the facts were all in front of her, regardless of the qiē in front of her, she insisted on talking. It's just yourself who is ashamed.
"See, where is there a brand, within a month, as long as the cloth fades, take it and refund the money unconditionally!"
A month to get your money back? Including the Qin family. All the little daughters-in-law were stunned, such a big deal, a month will not fade, although it does not mean that it will never fade, but no dyeing workshop dares to guarantee that the general dye. More or less will fade, how much is the problem.
"Then how do you know that it is the cloth from your store, and people buy cotton cloth and ask you for money casually. Do you pay too? "It's still the little daughter-in-law who spoke.
"Compensation, why not compensation, as long as they do this!" The man took out a piece of cloth from the vat, pointed to the corner, and said, "See, there is a trademark here, as long as you make this, why not lose it!" ”
Qin stretched his neck. Only then did I see that it turned out to be at the edge of the corner of the position. There is a sign that looks like a flower.
The guy said proudly: "This is the sign of the cotton wrapping, see no, it is directly pressed out with the machine, one every other foot, very clear and eye-catching!" ”
Machine qì pressed out of the flower logo. In later generations, it was almost a rotten street thing. But in this day and age, people are not yet aware. The important role of trademarks, many products, are randomly given a name, and then put in the store to sell.
Of course, Yang Yuanzhao knows this, since the establishment of a factory in Baotou, every factory will establish a trademark, especially cotton textiles, almost every one of them pays special attention to a trademark.
The women around didn't understand what the trademark was, but they knew it simply, and the one with this logo was the real thing, and for a month, as long as the color faded, they could come back and refund the money, and the others were not recognized by the store.
Qin Shi looked around here, especially the man's explanation, which made her feel a little emotional about the textile factory in Baotou, it was really a good thing.
In other people's hearts, they are all the same thoughts, good things, really attractive, even if it is an ordinary farmer who does not have much money in his hands, this year's year is good, ten miles and eight towns, who do not have a few living money, especially this side is still a cotton production area, this year's cotton is not only high-yield, but also sold at a high price, only this one, most of the cotton farmers, are a few yuan more than usual, a few yuan, for big businessmen and tycoons, it is nothing, for ordinary farmers, it is equivalent to a family's clothes, New Year's meat, There is also a celebratory atmosphere for the whole family.
Returning to the store again, looking at the above, all kinds of colors, Qin Shi was tempted, thinking in his heart, how much to buy.
"By the way, you didn't see it, the cloth here is bigger!" A sister-in-law who just met said directly about these cloths.
"Long?"
"Yes, that's half as long as a normal piece of cloth!"
Qin Shi has bought cloth, and many times, it is very clear that the width should be more than four feet, that is, the distance of his arms outstretched, just now has been amazed by the quality of the cloth, dyeing, and does not fade, to the point that he didn't notice, these cloths are much larger than ordinary cloth, really walked up, actually went to measure it, he was surprised to find that the cloth here is at least more than 5 feet.
More than five feet, that is to say, the width of the factory at least a lot, itself, the price of two cents and one, even if it is a four-foot wide cloth, has been extremely attractive, now one more foot, buy a foot, equal to twice as much, even if it is a husband like this, two or three feet is enough for a piece of clothing, not to mention a child, maybe four feet is enough for a family's clothes, not to mention the quality is so good, heavy, strong, not faded, the color is also bright, the farmer's family, the New Year is for a good omen, a new clothes, this is a simple hope.
The shopkeeper of the shop pù has been surrounded by people who buy cloth, and even the faded real yàn can't do it anymore, this four feet, that five feet, a piece of cloth is a few minutes, and it is over in the midst of everyone's scramble, and the shopkeeper shouted loudly: "Don't worry, there are all of them, we have bought a lot of goods, and in the face of cheapness, a few people can sit down."
Qin is also one of the people around the shopkeeper, because he has a lot of money on hand, he has just entered the store, and the owner has also stuffed one yuan, almost 3 yuan of capital, and has enough confidence.
Called for a long time, selected for a long time, it was easy to buy 5 feet of cloth, the color is blue-black, such a color, relatively heavy, wear-resistant and dirt-resistant, the color is also good-looking, five feet a total of 1 yuan and 4 points, the shopkeeper spared 1 point, only need to give 1 yuan 3 points, so that Qin's joy is abnormal, the Zhuang family, 1 cent can do a lot of things, and asked the price of those soaps, 6 cents to buy two yuan, it is not easy to wash clothes, look at that guy, a few times to wash clean, if you don't use soap, a lot of clothes, It takes two or three hours of repeated rinsing to be able to wash it clean, and this account is calculated by him.
It took 1 yuan and nine points, but the Qin family was still very happy, wasn't it just new clothes for the New Year, squeezed out of the crowd, Wang Sanjiang saw his daughter-in-law, hurriedly took her basket, glanced at the cloth, and saw that it was bright in his eyes, and it was quite heavy.
"Good thing, it really doesn't fade, the master, where do you see it, where is the sign of a flower, that is the logo of Baotou Cotton Textile Company, we will recognize this when we buy cloth in the future!"
"It's enough to buy it once a year, it's really addictive!"
"No, people promised, as long as it fades within a month, the money will be refunded unconditionally!"
"Really?" Wang Sanjiang's eyes widened and faded, this is a common thing for most fabrics, the Zhuang family, it's almost enough, really give the money back, this cloth shop is really arrogant.
Qin's show the cloth to her husband, Wang Sanjiang didn't say much, he was still relatively happy, he bought more than 2 feet of cloth, not to mention, and didn't spend much, according to the price of ordinary white cloth two cents, plus printing and dyeing, etc., basically there are only a number of yellow grass fruits, and it is a lot wider, thick and strong, it is really good, and the family's clothes are almost gone.
In addition to cotton cloth and soap, there are many fresh things, such as foreign fire, a pack of only 1 cent, there are 50 in it, that is to say, almost two months, no need to leave a fire every night, no need to light a fire in the morning, use straw and the like, you can ignite, just do it in the morning. The price is not expensive, 3 cents a pack, Wang Sanjiang thought about it, or bought it, left a fire every day, and got up to make a fire before dawn in the morning, which was all done by his daughter-in-law, with this match, you can light the fire with dry straw, and you don't have to pick up the ashes and blow it for half a day.
Wang Sanjiang bought a few boxes of matches for the Qin family, and the Qin family also bought two gloves for Wang Sanjiang.
Such a happy shopping, the result, of course, is a lot of budget exceeded, originally just wanted to spend about 1 yuan, as a result, all of a sudden spent 2 yuan 5, but Wang Sanjiang is good, Qin is good, not unhappy, are intimate things, use things, the price is cheap not to say, things are easy to use, the most tempting thing for them, is the kerosene lamp, looks bright, but unfortunately the price is not what they can afford, although they also want to get one back, daughter-in-law spinning, or when doing embroidery at night, there is no need to bother eyes.
In the day of shopping, they heard the word Baotou several times, and they found that these things were produced in Baotou, and it turned out that this Baotou not only produced cloth, but also produced matches, soap, putty, and all kinds of daily necessities, which was almost all-inclusive, not to mention the good quality, but also cheap.
The same thing, in fact, in many towns and villages in China, is happening in the same way, farmers, the problem is very simple, even if it is a poor peasant, there are needs, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even some higher-level needs, these but when counted, it is nothing, together, is a huge shocking market, China, it is relying on the market, has become the focus of attention of the great powers.
Baotou's cloth, from this day to go, deep into a lot of towns, Baotou's cloth output, every day, about 20,000 horses, the number of printing and dyeing is also about the same, huge output, almost at that time, it was converted into sales, more and more people, buy Baotou these products, blue cloth, cyan, black blue and black, these are closely related to the working people, cut very practical cloth, have gained considerable sales, for no other reason, is a practical and cheap, and along with the sales of these basic daily necessities, Baotou's fame is also imperceptibly expanding, so that more and more merchants have noticed Baotou.
