Gu Yunyang naturally wouldn't explain to him what a foreman was.

"Just think of yourself as the group leader."

ah?

Gu Changbai was dumbfounded: "Me, can be a group leader?"

The Red Flag Brigade was divided into five squads, each with a squad leader.

However, there were several group leaders who led their team members to various places to do work.

Although the team leader also has to work, they get two extra work points every day.

For Gu Changbai, the group leader was a leader.

Anyway, he was a bit dull, so even the captain's father didn't dare to give him a position as a group leader.

Of course, Gu Changbai felt that he was not worthy either.

However, he didn't dwell on it: "Next, store the starch away. Starting tomorrow, put it in the sun to dry, so it doesn't spoil."

This thing shouldn't be left lying around without proper storage.

It still contains some moisture; it will spoil in less than two days.

"Huh? We have to sunbathe again?"

Gu Changbai was curious, and Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "I didn't originally plan to do this so soon, but you're so eager. The next step is to add water and then boil it, which is called gelatinization. After that, we need to use barley malt, but the barley hasn't sprouted yet, so we have to wait four days before we can use it. If you don't dry it, it will spoil in a couple of days."

"Oh, I see." Gu Chang patted his forehead and asked curiously, "If we set up a workshop, how many days will we have to wait each time?"

Gu Yunyang was speechless. This guy just couldn't think straight: "We can get a batch of barley every day and let some of it sprout each day."

"Ah, I... I really have no brains."

Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "Alright, take your time, think it over and you'll be fine."

After Gu Changbai locked the door, Gu Yunyang returned to the educated youth settlement.

Early the next morning, Gu Hanping arranged the work for the brigade.

Some people continued working in the fields, as there was still some work to be done.

Some people started picking up tools like shears and going up the mountain to treat the fruit trees.

The other few people, two from each village, plus three from Dongshan Village, made a total of 11 people, and went up the mountain to dig the foundation for Gu Yunyang.

He came over and said something to Gu Yunyang before setting off to buy blue bricks from the Hongxing Brigade.

Of course, I also want to check if the piglets are ready.

These are all key factors for Hongqi Brigade's future poverty alleviation.

Although others still harbored some doubts, Gu Hanping himself had complete faith in Gu Yunyang.

Gu Yunyang had originally planned to go to the commune today to ask Xing Kai how the cement and tiles were coming along.

While we're at it, let's find out if Zuo Qiulin and his team have completed their mission.

With his own methods, Zuo Qiulin must have had a smooth experience, right?

However, since the brigade leader had gone out, he, as the secretary, had to stay behind.

If anything happens in the brigade, he, as the secretary, will have to step in and resolve it.

"Since there's nothing else to do, go get the milk. Let's finish making the milk tablets today. We've already promised, so it's about time to get things done."

Upon arriving at the cowshed, Gu Yunyang first used his beast-taming ability to build a relationship with the cows and chatted with them for a while.

After that, some concentrated feed was prepared for Old Zheng to use.

Next, he took out a container and milked the cow.

Old Zheng watched the whole thing without raising any objections.

Gu Yunyang thought for a moment, took out a packet of starch from his crossbody bag, and said, "Old Zheng, can I borrow your stove today? I'll make milk tablets."

Unfortunately, we can't use the tools in the base space directly.

If we want to do it outside, the mold is a problem.

Making it look good is probably not easy.

Milk tablet molds are relatively small, and if other molds are used, they are easier to unmold.

"How about we make some milk cookies instead?"
