If people found out that Gu Yunyang had secretly kept some of it, it would cause a huge uproar.

Gu Yunyang will most likely be alright in the end.

But I'm sure the team members will talk about me behind my back.

Han Xue definitely wouldn't do something like that.

Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?

Gu Yunyang was completely unaware of any of this, nor did he care.

In just one morning, he put together three semi-mechanized threshing machines.

If it weren't for the need to keep the base's space secret, he could have produced enough semi-mechanized threshing machines for the Red Flag Brigade in just one morning.

"Now that we have these things, we'll find an opportunity to go deep into the mountains and cultivate a piece of land."

Gu Yunyang had always wanted to reclaim wasteland and acquire more land.

You can't tell anyone else, but you can give Gu Hanping some pointers.

These next two years will be increasingly difficult.

When the time comes, everyone should go up the mountain to plant some crops; the law won't punish everyone.

At noon, Gu Yunyang did not stay in the cafeteria for lunch.

He obtained two hundred catties of wheat flour and two hundred catties of rice, both of which were top-quality grains.

In addition, there were 300 jin of chestnuts and sweet potatoes, and a whole sheep.

He hid the items in an abandoned courtyard before coming to find Director Yan.

"Director Yan."

Gu Yunyang gave a greeting, and with just a wink, Director Yan immediately understood what was going on.

He nodded, gave his instructions, and dismissed the several tellers from the supply and marketing cooperative.

He tidied himself up and then walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Not long after, Gu Yunyang was spotted in a courtyard not far away.

Director Yan immediately noticed some supplies next to Gu Yunyang.

"This is?"

Gu Yunyang nodded with a smile and gestured, "Director Yan, take a look for yourself. This isn't our first time working together. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Director Yan strode over. He and Gu Yunyang had done business together quite a few times, and each time it was a pleasant experience.

He wasn't afraid of Gu Yunyang plotting against him. If Gu Yunyang tried to trick him with this little thing, Gu Yunyang would end up in jail himself.

He will not be in any major trouble.

He first opened the flour sack and saw the fine, white flour inside.

"This is?"

Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "This is flour that I went through a lot of trouble to get. It's even finer and whiter than high-gluten flour."

Due to the processing method, the fineness of high-gluten flour is not as good as that of machine-made flour in later generations.

Gu Yunyang's base also contains corresponding machines.

The flour he produces is several grades higher than high-gluten flour.

Director Yan was naturally very satisfied.

This is refined grain, and of extremely high quality.

"Okay, okay."

Director Yan then looked at the other bags and found that there were two bags of flour, each weighing about 100 jin (50 kg).

The rice grains are also very long and thin, and very white, which makes it clear at a glance that they are of very good quality.

The whole sheep also gave him quite a shock, as did the chestnuts and sweet potatoes.

Director Yan took out the bills directly from his pocket, counted them, and gave them to Gu Yunyang.

"I'll give you 80 cents a pound for this rice and flour. One dollar a pound for mutton, and the sweet potatoes are still the same price, okay?"

Gu Yunyang nodded and accepted the several hundred yuan.

Eighty cents a pound for grain isn't cheap.

However, Gu Yunyang didn't need tickets, so the price increase was only a small amount, which wasn't too expensive.

You should know that the grain sold on the black market is not of such good quality.

Be careful lately.

Finally, Director Yan gave a sudden reminder.
