School-run factories and workshops.

With the Spring Festival approaching, the school-run factory can finally take a breather after working three shifts for several months.

Yesterday, the last batch of fake collars were distributed before the holiday. In the following days, the factory temporarily resumed day shift production, and suspended all middle and evening shifts to allow employees to relax and enjoy the New Year until it resumes after the Spring Festival.

Open a three-shift system.

Today's day shift has ended. Most of the workers in the workshop have gone home from get off work. The only ones left behind are Li Daqi and Song Yuanchao who just arrived, as well as Qin Zhengguo, Gu Jie, Ying Caixia and the most skilled tailoring king in the factory. Master and Sewing Master Liu.

Master Wang and Master Liu are both from Mingzhou. The tailoring and sewing skills of Mingzhou people are famous in Shanghai. As early as the late Qing Dynasty, the famous "Red Gang Tailor" was the choice of many people for making clothes.

The so-called Red Gang tailors are not gangs, but a group of tailors who make clothes for foreigners. The origin of this title is somewhat ancient, and it has to start from the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was the earliest foreign country to deal with China.

People are Dutch, Portuguese, etc. Since many Dutch and Portuguese people have red hair, they are also called "red hair".

The term "red hair" was spread from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and was later extended to the collective name for foreigners. This is similar to how Chinese people collectively referred to foreigners as "foreigners" more than ten years later. In the late Qing Dynasty, with the

The country was forced to open its borders, and coastal cities and treaty port cities were created. These foreigners began to live, live, and do business in China. Naturally, people needed to make clothes. However, the conditions at that time made it impossible to bring tailors from Europe, so they had to retreat.

This time I had to find a Chinese tailor to help me make clothes.

As a result, the tailors who specialize in making clothes for these foreigners (red hair) are called red gang tailors. Among the red gang tailors, the one with the best skills and the most people is the Mingzhou tailor. The reason is very simple.

Mingzhou is one of the earliest treaty ports. In addition, Mingzhou is close to Shanghai and Shanghai, and many Mingzhou people make a living in Shanghai and Shanghai. Over time, Mingzhou tailors have become the most famous tailor group in China.

Master Wang's tailoring skills are very good, and Master Liu's sewing skills are even better in the factory. Both of them are old people in the factory and have been working in the factory for more than 20 years. However, due to their age, they are no longer mainly in the factory.

On the front line, the main job on weekdays is to assist Li Daqi in managing the cutting and sewing work. You must know that most of the employees in these two positions in the factory are either their apprentices or their apprentices and grandchildren.

Keeping them here today was a special greeting from Song Yuanchao. Both Master Wang and Master Liu are particularly grateful to Song Yuanchao, because without Song Yuanchao, this factory would have collapsed long ago, and it would not be as prosperous as it is today.

Li Daqi's deputy director has been appointed. With the appointment, Director Ma took the initiative to gradually let him take charge. Now Li Daqi has become the actual manager of the factory. This is also the purpose of Director Ma to gradually hand over the factory to Li Daqi.

of profound meaning.

On a large table, cut fabrics and pattern papers of various sizes were spread out on it. Master Wang pointed at it and said: "I have revised these places again, and this answer should be fine. Old Liu, please

Why don't you sew it first and then take a look?"

"Okay!" Master Liu picked up the fabric and looked at it for a few times and nodded. Then he asked everyone to take the things to the sewing station, found a sewing machine and got busy.

Everyone waited patiently. About an hour later, a pair of newly sewn bell-bottom pants came out.

Master Liu took the pants and looked at them, walked aside and ironed them, then handed them to Song Yuanchao, who took a look at them and passed them directly to Ying Caixia.

"Go try it."

Ying Caixia has almost become Song Yuanchao's model in the past few days. She has tried it on countless times. She took the pants and went to the back without saying a word. Li Daqi surrounded the area with a curtain in the printing workshop where no one was currently there.

It serves as Ying Caixia’s temporary fitting room.

After a while, Ying Caixia came out wearing bell-bottom pants. Everyone's eyes were wandering around her lower body. Of course, they were not looking at her figure but at the pants she was wearing. As Ying Caixia moved around, she stopped and turned around.

After a series of actions, everyone finally smiled.

I have to say that Master Wang and Master Liu are very good at their craftsmanship. With just a few modifications, they made pants that are exactly the same as the bell-bottom pants Qin Zhengguo brought back. They are even better than Qin Zhengguo's pairs of pants in terms of workmanship and tailoring details.

"The two masters are really good at their craftsmanship!" Qin Zhengguo gave a thumbs up to Master Wang and Master Liu with great admiration.

On the contrary, the two masters disagreed and said with a smile that this kind of trousers is actually not difficult. They are low-waisted and short-cut, and the legs are enlarged below the knees. In the eyes of experienced tailors like them, they are just a variant of orthodox slim-fitting trousers. For them, they have eaten these trousers.

For someone who has been cooking for most of his life, it is a piece of cake.

However, looking at Ying Caixia walking back and forth in bell-bottom trousers, Master Wang couldn't help but frowned: "Can these trousers be worn when they are so big?"

"Yes! Why not?" Qin Zhengguo said with a smile: "Look, do you look good in these pants?"

"It's spirited, but this is too...and women's trouser chain has always been opened on the right. Now it is opened in the front like men's. Isn't it a bit too much?" Master Wang asked kindly.

"But, Master Wang, you don't know that this is how people dress abroad now. Foreigners are different from us. Men and women wear the same style. It's normal."

"I said Lao Wang, you are a tailor. What are the rules of our tailoring business? You won't forget it, right? What the owner thinks is good is really good. Besides, I think these pants are very good. Of course, my craftsmanship

It also occupies a very critical part in the middle." Master Liu on the side was not as conservative as Master Wang. On the contrary, he was very proud to see Ying Caixia wearing the bell-bottom pants he had just made, and was very satisfied with his craftsmanship.

"Okay, maybe I'm old and my ideas are lagging behind. Anyway, you young people can just think it's good." Master Wang also smiled and nodded after hearing this.

For a pair of bell-bottom pants, Song Yuanchao calculated based on the different fabrics. The cost of using good fabrics such as woolen and worsted is probably higher. You can almost use corduroy and labor cloth, that is, denim. As for ordinary fabrics, they are also available.

Song Yuanchao basically chooses good materials, which is very conscientious. If he uses poorer materials, the cost can of course continue to be reduced, but Song Yuanchao doesn't want to do this. People who buy good things are not blind, not to mention that the popularity of bell-bottom pants will soon increase.

Let’s get started. If Song Yuanchao wants to drink the first soup and feel comfortable, there is no need to save too much money in this aspect.

In addition to bell-bottom pants, Song Yuanchao also asked two masters to make some jeans and denim jackets. The samples were all brought by Qin Zhengguo from Yangcheng and were authentic Xiangjiang products.

The craftsmanship of the two masters cannot be overemphasized, and the products they produced are indeed good. Moreover, Song Yuanchao, a man with a vision for future generations, helped to modify a few details, and the product was even better than the sample.

It's getting late, it's already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the workshop will start tomorrow. Song Yuanchao looked at the time and decided to stop here for today. Let everyone pack things up, especially the cutting samples, and do this later.

All the clothes and pants are made from these samples, otherwise all the efforts these days will be in vain.

Song Yuanchao planned to ask the two chefs to have a casual meal together before returning. Unexpectedly, the two chefs refused, saying that the meal had been prepared at home and they had to go home early as it was getting late. In desperation, Song Yuanchao could only send them away first.

After they left, Song Yuanchao thought for a while and took Qin Zhengguo and others to the small restaurant where he met Zhang Yong last time.

It was already half past eight when we arrived at the restaurant, and the business of the restaurant was coming to an end. However, Song Yuanchao and the others came, and the boss naturally welcomed them. Besides, the boss had already met Song Yuanchao last time and knew that he was Zhang Yong’s friend. It was a good idea to bring his friends to dinner today.

It’s not too late to cheer him up and be happy.

After saying hello to the boss, Song Yuanchao didn't even look at the menu. He said with a smile that there were only a few of them and he just asked the boss to see what other dishes he could cook.

"This hotel is pretty good. It's better than a state-owned hotel. It would be hard to find it if you didn't lead the way. Yuan Korea, do you know the boss here?"

"We met once. The boss is Zhang Yong's childhood friend. There are also Zhang Yong's friends in this store." Song Yuanchao sat down at the innermost table with everyone.

"No wonder Zhang Yong is so smart that he even started working in restaurants." Qin Zhengguo has dealt with Zhang Yong. He was the one who hosted Zhang Yong when he went to Yangcheng last year. The two of them were familiar with each other and they laughed immediately.

stand up.

We sat down, smoked a cigarette, and chatted for a while before the food and drinks came one after another. Song Yuanchao had been here before but had never tasted the food here. He picked up his chopsticks and invited everyone to try it. He first picked up a piece of braised beef, which was a hit.

I said, this beef is really well cooked, fragrant, waxy and tasty. No wonder Zhang Yong was so confident as he said before.

We were chatting while eating. Everyone here was alone. There were no other customers in the restaurant at this time. After serving the food, the boss knew that they were talking and walked away deliberately.

"Daqi, please contact the manufacturers these days to look for accessories, buttons, zippers, etc. If there is no suitable one, ask if you can specify the production, and then carefully calculate the cost." After taking a sip of wine, Song Yuanchao said to Li Daqi.

Li Daqi nodded in agreement. All the clothes and trousers were made, and the fabrics were no problem. Especially the supply of denim was completely guaranteed for the factory. Don’t forget what the school-run factory did before? It originally made labor protection supplies.

Labor cloth is the most common material used in labor protection products, and labor cloth is a type of denim.

Of course, there are still some differences between denim and denim produced by several textile factories in Shanghai. The difference lies in the count and textile technology. However, this difference is not a big problem at present. Choose soft fabrics.

Some thinner labor cloths can also be used.

If the fabric and production are fine, all that's left is the accessories.

Compared with today's clothing, many of them use buttons, including pants. However, whether it is bell-bottoms, jeans, denim jackets, etc., zippers are the most commonly used type besides buttons, and most of them require buttons or zippers.

Metal, can

There are not many metal buttons and zippers on the market today. The latter are often used in briefcases and other places, and you can still find them if you look for them, but the former is different. The most commonly used ones nowadays are plastic buttons, which are not
