How can it be true that he wants to cut cowhide with 20 yuan now? If you ask me, what kind of mixture and simulated plastic skin are made of, the cost is worth a few dollars at most. If it's real cowhide, it's only 20 yuan, so how can he make money?
I remember watching the villagers do "a thousand pounds" when I was a child. This kind of jack is made of cowhide. Marinate the sliced raw cowhide with wine, make it into rope shape, then hang it on the beam of the house, and decorate a big stone at the bottom of the thousand catties until it is dry and formed.
In the past, jacks were mainly used to hang around the neck of cattle and rake together. It is a new medium, which mainly plays the role of binding and pulling, and is very firm.
Men in rural areas often use this leather to make belts, one for decades and one for life, until they are polished into shiny black.
The kind on the market looks a bit like cowhide, and there are some inconspicuous pits. It's heavy to hold, too, but I want to tell you that it's fake.
This kind of tape needs only a little fire to melt immediately, and it is easy to break. I remember a few years ago, elephant leather belts were popular here.
There is a zipper inside the belt, so you can hide the money in it. If it's made of elephant skin, it's completely blown. If it's true, who told you to sell it in a big way?
Speaking of which, there are quite a few buyers. It is said that those below Xishuangbanna cost one or two hundred yuan each. These are all made of scraps, so they are cheap. 50 yuan is not negotiable.
Later, I sold it at the age of thirty and at the age of twenty-five. I remember a man going to a restaurant for dinner. When he was eating, he loosened his belt and broke it. We all laughed at that man. He is so angry! The belts are all broken.
Actually! This is obviously foreign goods, and there is no saying that it will be broken after a meal. Now the simulation technology is getting higher and higher! Country people don't pay attention to clothes. They think it is cheap and good. A 20-yuan belt can be tied for many years, so many people buy it.
It is said that what you can buy for 20 yuan now is just a little more than a catty of meat, two jins of apples and 20 yuan for a belt. Even if it is fake, the loss is not big, so it is also with this mentality.
I have never seen a "cowhide" belt in the local rural market in recent years. I bought a cowhide belt in the local countryside around 2000, and the quality is still very good after using it for 10 years. At that time, I disliked the style of cowhide belt and threw it away because it looked ugly. I bought a 199 yuan "cowhide" belt in the mall, and it was padded in less than two years, and the leather was broken. In 20 12, I went to the rural market to look for cowhide belts, and I never found them again.
In fact, it was not cheap to buy a belt in 20 yuan in 2000. At that time, the price was low, and the average belt was only 10 yuan. In the rural market, cowhide belts at that time were mostly genuine. These belts don't need to be burned. You can smell the cow hair in your hand. At that time, people didn't care much about the style and style of belts. 20 yuan can also sell out of stock, but the supply is in short supply. At that time, I wouldn't go to the supermarket to buy a cowhide belt. It's hard to tell the true from the false. Real belts are 100+ in supermarkets, and there are many fakes. At that time, when I wanted to buy real belts, I usually went to the rural market to buy them. Cheap and durable, but it seems that the workmanship is poor and there are many burrs.
Now that prices have gone up, if you still see a belt that only sells for 20 yuan in the rural market, it must be a fake. In 2000, in 20 19, the price of cowhide tripled, and now it is still sold at 20 yuan, which is not enough. "What you bought is not what you sold." Few people will lose money in business. The real pure belt costs 50 to 60, how can it be sold to 20 yuan?
In the past, cowhide belts in rural markets were cheap, of very good quality and genuine. At that time, the consumption concept was to emphasize quality over style. At that time, the sales of cowhide belts were very good, which was in line with the consumption concept of rural areas at that time. The current consumption concept pays more attention to style, but does not dare to compliment quality. Now even if there is a "cowhide" belt in the rural market, the sales volume is very general, and fewer and fewer people buy it.
Things in rural markets are cheap and easy to use, and it is difficult for city people to experience them.
Compared with the "sky-high" belts in cities, you can buy a belt called cowhide in rural markets only by 20 yuan. Is it a manufacturer's gimmick or a genuine product? Are so many farmers greedy for cheap belts?
Kaki believes that the quality of the belt lies in its quality. If you don't use a beautiful belt, you might as well tie your pants with a rope.
The low-priced cowhide belt in the rural market reminds Kaki of the days when she used to take the train.
Every time I take the train, I almost meet a train salesman who sells all kinds of gadgets. In the past, on the train from Yibin to Chengdu, Kaki often met salespeople selling belts next to each carriage.
A 10 yuan beef tendon belt is of good quality. In order to convince people of its good quality, the train salesman will personally demonstrate cutting with a blade, and there are almost no traces on the belt. Some excited passengers are still not at ease, saying that they want to buy the demonstration beef tendon belt.
The belts sold by vendors in rural markets are a little more expensive than those of train salesmen, and they are also easy to use. Before she was nine years old, Katsuma wore elastic pants instead of a belt. The first belt was a low-priced "cowhide belt" eliminated by her elders. I haven't worn it out for five years, and I didn't change it until the shirt was tied around my waist and found it was not good.
In the city, the boss casually picked up a belt and said it was genuine leather. After bargaining, it cost hundreds of dollars, but the belts of those brand leather shoes stores are expensive, and there is no shortage of a penny.
It costs one or two hundred yuan to buy such belts, and some of them are still hollow, and even there are pieces of paper in them, which will peel off or even break in a few years. I suspect that this is the result of product quality control by smart manufacturers. Who else will often buy belts in ten years?
However, the genuine leather belts called by vendors in rural markets are mostly gimmicks, and most of them are made of scraps of cowhide and even some parts of cattle. Because many people have a soft spot for cowhide when buying leather products, a really good cowhide belt can't be so cheap.
According to the old man, there is a leather about a foot wide on both sides of the cow's back, and a handmade belt made of it can sell for hundreds. Even if all kinds of expenses are excluded, this 20-dollar belt can't compare with its price difference. If you think about it, you can understand which is true and which is false.
Nowadays, many people don't tie their clothes in their pants, so it doesn't matter whether the belt is ugly or not. Anyway, no one looks at it, as long as the pants don't fall off and they are comfortable to tie up, so Zanzibar thinks that cheap belts in rural markets are worth buying.
Can I buy a real leather belt for 20 yuan? Don't even think about it Although the belts sold in rural markets are newly cut, they are cut from belts that look like cowhide, but this cowhide is not real cowhide and contains water. Some farmer friends should know something about cowhide. There are different kinds of cattle, such as buffalo, yellow cattle and dairy cows, and the skin value of different kinds of cattle is also different.
The cowhide sold in the market is mainly buffalo hide, mixed with scraps of other cowhide, crushed by modern technology, and then pasted with water to become new cowhide. If you often go to the rural market, you will hear the shouts of these vendors, and some even say "belts are better than cowhide". From this you will understand that it is not real cowhide, but a "fake cowhide belt" that is better than cowhide. Since it is a fake belt, why do many people buy it?
The people who buy cowhide belts in rural markets are mainly middle-aged and elderly people, and there are few young people. They also look down on these cowhide belts. Rural middle-aged and elderly people value practicality most when growing grain. Obviously, these 20 yuan freshly cut cowhide belts meet their needs. The farmer once bought several such belts, which were really durable. The first one has been used for more than three years, and the second one was bought on 20 14 and is still in use.
Although the value of the belt bought in the supermarket is not that high, it is really durable. It will take at least three to five years, and at most ten years. And there is a very important reason, that is, the prices of these newly cut belts are very affordable, generally around 20 yuan. Some belts are more expensive, while others are cheaper. At the same time, unlike the belts sold in supermarkets, the newly cut belts sold by these vendors still have room for bargaining, and many people enjoy the bargaining process when buying goods. Some people are proud of this kind of belt. The belts they bought for tens of dollars can last for many years, while the belts that others bought for hundreds of dollars broke down in less than one year.
In the eyes of farmers, as long as it is really practical, why bother to entangle whether it is true? Even a fake is more practical than the real thing, so it is still very cost-effective in their view. Moreover, the belts are basically hidden under the clothes. If they look good, others may not be able to see them. Only they can see them clearly.
There are indeed many newly cut "cowhide belts" in the rural market, but they are not so expensive. I bought it ten years ago, only 10, and it hasn't broken down after six or seven years of use. Later, because it was dirty and reluctant to throw it away, it was replaced and hung in the closet, which became a hanging clothes. This belt is really not real, and personal analysis is true for the following reasons:
Go to the village and ask, nine out of ten people who have used this kind of belt say yes, the only one is bad or not, and it's a bit troublesome to change it every year. Compared with hundreds of pieces in the store, it is really a belt head, and the quality of the belt itself is not bad at all.
To tell the truth, things from that era were really durable. One of the three things that farmers' parents get married: electric fans and iron bumps, which are very heavy. It has been used for more than 20 years, and it can still be used today. It is windy. As soon as they started, the whole room was blown up. Compared with 69 plastic fans bought on a treasure, the latter burps and farts in less than a year.
The belt is the same, it looks like a piece, the technology is rough, but it's true, no matter how you use it, it won't break. A friend joked that hitting her husband with a supermarket belt broke several times. It has been no problem for more than ten years.
I bought this belt at that time, and the vendor was very good at it. He took out his belt and lit it with a lighter to show that it was a real belt. I think it's true. I remember it was difficult to burn with a lighter at that time. After burning, there is a smell of burning hair. If it is artificial leather or something else, it will catch fire, and the flame is very big, it shrinks quickly, and there is an unpleasant smell of plastic, so it is true.
I asked a man in the belt business, and he said it was called broken leather, that is, the scraps of leather were crushed, added with fiber glue and extruded by a hydraulic press. Some people also call it compressed leather, which is very strong and more durable than real leather, especially in anticorrosion and waterproof. It is said that it has always been a product used by the army. Because some cheap scraps are used, the belt has not been processed by secondary molding, so whether the belt is cut well depends on the skill of the belt seller, and the cost is low, so the price is high.
When it comes to selling cowhide belts in rural markets, farmers can only admire two words, straight and across the board. They don't have to draw lines or use any auxiliary tools. At that time, the belt was just punched, and the whole process was super fast. A whole belt can be finished in two minutes, and hundreds can be sold in a good day.
Summary: People are alive, in fact, no matter what you are made of, as long as you use it steadily and pay attention to quality and low price, you can do it, so the "cowhide belt" of that year is true. Cowhide belts are also the memory of generations. Now it is rare in the rural market. Nostalgic friends can leave a message below to see if there is a cowhide belt on your belt.
It is sold not only in rural markets, but also in Liancheng stalls. The slogan is very memorable, "A belt that is better than cowhide". Hearing this sentence, I think we know the general meaning of this belt.
A belt better than cowhide.
The material of this kind of belt is actually some scraps, which are turned into a whole piece by technical means, and cutting one is a belt. So this kind of belt is not cowhide, otherwise the slogan will not be "better than cowhide".
But this belt is really durable. If you don't consider factors such as face and showing off, it's really cost-effective to wear this kind of belt. After all, it's only 20 yuan each.
Why is it so popular?
The belt 100 bought in some stores went to 200 yuan, and it was severely deformed after several months of use. Thousands of dollars can't afford it, and it's not appropriate. I don't know how many belts to buy a year. The most painful thing is that my belt suddenly broke after going out, and I don't know how to spend the day.
This 20-yuan synthetic leather belt will not have any problems for at least one, two or three years. After all, after thousands of tests, this is the first point, and the quality is right.
And the price is cheap, farmers' friends, some people with lower incomes in the city, or some old people don't pursue famous brands or fashion. Practical discount is king, so many people will buy this kind of belt.
true and false
Truth and falsehood are not so important in the eyes of many rural people. It is difficult to buy authentic drinks in rural shops when I go home for the New Year. Many people accept fakes. After all, they are cheap and don't care.
People who buy this kind of belt don't care whether it is genuine cowhide, but only care about its usability and durability.
My mother has told me and my sister since I was a child, 1000 What's the point of buying clothes? I buy clothes every month 1000, and I wear new clothes all year. Typical rural thoughts still can't be changed. . .
In rural markets, you can often see vendors selling newly cut cowhide belts, especially when a large number of people go to the market during the Spring Festival holiday. The price of this kind of leather belt is generally very cheap, ranging from 15 yuan to 20 yuan, and it is said to be genuine leather.
First of all, we can say for sure that this newly cut belt is definitely not genuine leather. Most of them are made of leftover materials of buffalo hide and pigskin, plus some chemical raw materials. Some of them are in the form of pure artificial leather. That's why it's so cheap If it is a pure cowhide belt, the price can't be so low.
Secondly, this kind of artificial leather belt can almost rival the real cow belt in quality. Now the technology is very developed, making durable artificial leather is very easy and the cost is relatively low. Moreover, this kind of artificial leather is also suitable for mass production, which further reduces the manufacturing cost, so the price is so low.
Third, as long as it is cheap and good, whether it is genuine cowhide or not, it will be welcomed by the people. Rural people's own income is not high, life is relatively frugal, and they will not choose high-grade belts worth hundreds of thousands. When they choose, the first consideration is cheap price and lasting wear resistance. Because farmers work in the fields all day and wear more belts, they should be durable when choosing belts. Low price is the first and beautiful is the second.
Generally speaking, the newly cut belts sold by vendors in rural markets have good durability. I once bought one for 15 yuan and used it for several years. Up to now, there is still no big problem, and I can continue to use it. Many farmers like to buy this kind of belt. On the one hand, they value its cheap price, even if it is broken, it is not a pity. Secondly, this artificial leather belt is very durable, and its toughness is not lower than that of real cowhide.
Is it true that 20 yuan cuts a "cowhide belt" in the rural market? Why do many people love to buy?
A 20-yuan freshly cut cowhide belt in the rural market is fake. Cowhide is very expensive because it is a pure natural material. Real cowhide will smell like some leather. Very bright and shiny, soft, smooth and comfortable, durable and clear lines. However, real cowhide is easy to deform after being used for a long time, so we should pay attention to maintenance at ordinary times. Real cowhide is more expensive. Most of 20 yuan's "cowhide belts" in rural markets are artificial leather. The surface of artificial leather is rough, hard, non-absorbent and poor in use.
Then why do so many people buy fake "cowhide belts"? The reason for this is the following：
1. The price is cheap and suitable for farmers' consumption level. Although many farmers know that this "cowhide belt" is fake, many farmers will choose to buy one because of its low price.
2. Durable. Although the price is cheap, this fake "cowhide belt" is strong and durable, even if it is used for several months, it is very cost-effective.
There are many styles, artificial leather and many styles, so we have more choices. Especially suitable for young people to match clothes.
4. Follow the crowd. Many times when we go shopping, we like to go to shops where people come and go, and so does eating. Buying goods is the same as following the crowd. Plus, if the price is not expensive, many people will want to buy it back and try it.
I will also buy my own belt in the market and give it to others in the market. Ha ha laugh
Is it true that a handmade cowhide belt costs twenty yuan each? Many rural friends should have bought such a belt. To tell the truth, my old father also had a belt like this, and he said it was quite durable.
There are many amazing things in rural collections, such as antiques, precious medicinal materials and various life artifacts. It can be said that every time I visit rural collections, there will always be a lot of gains. There are many handmade "cowhide belts" and many middle-aged male friends will be surrounded. Some will watch the production process, some will buy it directly, and some will discuss a few words with their companions while smoking. Generally, belt sellers will spread a whole piece of "cowhide" on the floor, brown and black, and put on various belt heads. Friends who want to buy belts can buy any length, and the boss will make them on the spot. A belt around 20 yuan, many rural friends will buy such a belt.
Regardless of whether this belt is genuine cowhide, let's take a look at the cost performance of this belt. Although this kind of belt sold in rural areas is not as exquisite as the one we bought in the mall, the quality is still very good. My old father also bought a large number of his own handmade belts. It is absolutely no problem to use a belt for three years, and the price is cheap. Old people don't want to look good, but they don't use it badly. It can be said that it is commendable. In fact, this is also the reason why many rural friends like this handmade belt. It is cheap and durable. Although it may not be real cowhide, it is very durable. That's enough. This is also the reason why people who sell this handmade belt have always existed.
Finally, let's see if this cowhide belt is true or not. It can be said that most of these cheap leather belts are synthetic compressed leather, which is simply some leather scraps, which are made into whole leather by crushing the backlog and then made into belts. Others use other animal skins instead of cowhide. For example, pigskin is also pigskin. After processing, many friends can't tell cowhide from pigskin.
There are also some cowhide, but the prices of different parts of cowhide are different. We often hear that the price of "the first layer of cowhide" is very expensive, because the quality of cowhide is good, but the second layer of cowhide is different. Although there is not much difference from the first layer of cowhide in appearance, after use, it will be found that the second layer of cowhide is not wear-resistant and tensile, which is impossible for ordinary laymen to tell. There are also some so-called belts that are real or fake, but the surface is brushed with a layer of leather pulp, but the inside is not leather. Many friends can't tell these fake belts apart.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether it is genuine cowhide or not. What matters is whether this kind of belt is good or not. Rural friends still like to use this kind of handmade belt, which shows that it has its value.
