Actually, there wasn't any complicated procedure involved in opening the store at this time.

There were no firecrackers, no ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Not to mention lion dances and banquets.

One reason is that the Red Flag Brigade is very poor and simply cannot afford to support itself.

In addition, in this special era, people don't care about luxury.

Nowadays, when young people get married, it might just be a simple family meal.

This was an era when even visiting relatives required bringing your own food rations.

A group of people simply opened the door, went inside, and took a look.

Gu Hanping had already prepared some tools, all of which had been used last time. He would just bring them over this time, and they would belong to the sugar-making workshop from now on.

Gu Changbai stood inside, his face beaming with a wide smile, almost to the point of being silly.

He knew that he was now just an operator in the workshop.

But in the future, this workshop will likely expand into a sugar factory.

At that time, he will be a worker.

Hao Jianshe looked at Gu Changbai and asked with a smile, "Is this the person in charge of the core process of the sugar-making workshop?"

Person in charge?

That's a very sophisticated way of putting it.

Gu Changbai smiled, an uncontrollable smile.

It looks just like a chrysanthemum.

Gu Yunyang, who was standing beside him, also said a few words.

Several squad leaders from the brigade were also following along, but their faces looked somewhat awkward.

Gu Hanping turned around and knew what they were thinking.

They were simply afraid that Hao Jianshe would ask about the sugar-making process.

The team had already discussed and agreed that only the most crucial technology would be mastered by Gu Changbai.

No one else is allowed to ask questions.

This all seems to be for the sake of secrecy.

But Hao Jianshe was no ordinary person. If he really wanted to ask, the Red Flag Brigade couldn't very well stop him from doing so.

It is ultimately a society based on personal connections.

Moreover, Hao Jianshe was the first choice in Baishi Commune.

Besides, Hao Jianshe approves funds for the Hongqi Brigade every year; otherwise, the Hongqi Brigade wouldn't know where to find the money to buy seeds.

Those days must have been even harder.

Fortunately, Hao Jianshe didn't say anything. Hao, the clerk, casually suggested, "When will the sugar workshop in Hongqi Brigade start operating? Why don't we all take a look while Secretary Hao is here? And let Secretary Hao give us some pointers?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanping's expression changed slightly.

The faces of the squad leaders standing behind them turned ashen.

Hao Jianshe stood aside and quickly figured out what was going on.

He wasn't particularly interested; these technical issues weren't something a secretary like him should be concerned with.

However, if the Red Flag Brigade really doesn't want to be known by me.

This is just...

He was also somewhat annoyed, as his nephew was better than Zhou Hongcai.

But it's also a bit naive.

Could he really come up with such a suggestion himself?

This seems to be overshadowing the main subject.

It will also cause some dissatisfaction among the people in the team.

Although he, as a commune secretary, wasn't afraid, there was no need for him to be, was there?

If the other party is unwilling, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

Gu Yunyang quickly greeted him with a smile, "Secretary Hao, would you like to see it? If you would, I'll arrange for Gu Changbai to demonstrate it for you."

The process is rather lengthy. The first step in making starch involves selecting sweet potatoes and washing their surfaces, which takes at least half an hour.
