Chapter 84 Buying Defective Cloth
Defective cloth, as the name suggests, means the cloth is defective.

For example, if the cloth was originally printed with red peony flowers, but the petals of the peony flowers were crooked, then this cloth is a defective cloth.

It's not that the fabric has holes or is damaged, it's just that the pattern is not perfect.

The warehouse has arrived.

Sister Xu is considered a leader, she knows a lot of people, and many people are willing to give her face.

Lin Yexi stood a little closer with the help of the light and was listening to the person who was in charge of the warehouse.

"This batch is for our factory's internal consumption. Each person is limited to three pieces of cloth, and each piece of cloth is ten feet. The cloth beauties here are limited to five kilograms. Don't crowd or make a mess. Once you have made your selection, come to me to register. You only need money, not tickets."

Following the other party's words, Lin Yexi looked at the pile of small cloth in the warehouse and was shocked.

Isn't this a bit too much defective cloth?
In other words, it is a planned economy, a seller's market where supply exceeds demand. If it were in a factory like StarCraft, it would have been squeezed into an unknown place long ago.

And that piece of cloth?

When she was reading the book, the protagonist always got rich by borrowing unwanted pieces of cloth, but it seems that this is not feasible now.

Because ordinary people couldn't get the cloth, the workers had to fight for it.

Yes, you can make clothes by putting scraps of cloth together.

Lin Yexi was pulled forward by Sister Xu to choose fabrics.

There was no mad rush for cloth in the warehouse like in the supply and marketing cooperative. Everyone was an employee of the textile factory and they all had to maintain some dignity.

Everyone consciously spread out around the mountain of cloth, each going to a corner to find the cloth they wanted.

While looking, Lin Yexi had already chosen what she wanted to take. She used the force of dodging people to get to where she wanted.

She acted quickly, and after getting a piece of dark blue cloth, she quickly took a piece of white cloth with small red flowers and a light gray piece.

After getting the three pieces of cloth, Lin Yexi quickly retreated to the side with the cloth ends.

Leftover scraps are collectively called cloth scraps. Lin Yexi tried to take larger pieces of cloth and of the same color.

After weighing about five kilograms, Lin Yexi stopped and weighed it.

The warehouse manager took a look at Lin Yexi and knew that she was brought in by Xu Dahua, so he didn't ask any more questions and started weighing. "Do you have a bag?"

"There's a schoolbag."

"Hmm... four pounds and eight ounces?"

The administrator was a little surprised at Lin Yexi's weight. Normally, the weight on the scale is over 5 jin, but since the difference wasn't that big, he just turned a blind eye.

"Not even close."

Lin Yexi sighed, turned around and took some cloth, adding it in little by little, and it totaled five pounds and one ounce. The administrator was too lazy to pick it out and just let Lin Yexi take it away.

Lin Yexi stuffed most of the scraps of cloth into his schoolbag. As for the remaining pieces that could not be stuffed in, he used the purchased cloth as tools to make a bundle.

Three pieces of cloth, thirty feet, price 40 cents per foot, no cloth coupons required.

Lin Yexi gave a total of fourteen yuan, two of which were for cloth.

After finishing the work, she waited for Xu Dahua on the side. After Xu Dahua had finished everything, she went forward to help get the things, but was rejected by Xu Dahua.

"Come on! You are so small and you are still helping me! Go back quickly!"

Only after Lin Yexi saw that Xu Dahua really didn't need help did she take her things and run to the door.

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw Zhao Damei chatting with the old man at the door.

"Da Mei!"

Zhao Damei turned around and looked at Lin Yexi who came out. She took a few steps forward and took her schoolbag and bundle.

"what is this?"

"cloth!"

Zhao Damei was very happy. So much cloth? All wrapped in a bundle?
"These are scraps of cloth, not a whole piece."

Zhao Damei said indifferently: "It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's cloth, you can make clothes by putting it together!"
