The group was shocked, but all said they wouldn't tell anyone.

Then, Yu Lan took Gu Yunyang to the finance department to collect ten yuan, plus a large box of things.

Gu Yunyang looked at the contents and found two pounds of sponge cake and two pounds of cookies, the kind without fillings.

In addition, there was a pound of maltose, which Gu Yunyang discovered was made in his own village, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

As for why Gu Yunyang knew it was made in the sugar workshop in his own village.

It's entirely because of its appearance.

The model Gu Yunyang specially made produced maltose that was still square, but slightly slanted.

Yu Lan noticed that Gu Yunyang's expression was a bit strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yunyang said, "This maltose was made in our village's sugar workshop. I also had this model made by someone else."

Yu Lan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then we'll have to ask you to buy some maltose during the holidays. The kids in the family all love to eat it, it'll be a treat for their sweet tooth."

Gu Yunyang readily agreed.

In addition, there are two pounds of pork belly.

This surprised Gu Yunyang: "They're even giving out meat?"

Yu Lan laughed and said, "It was just a coincidence. These spies happened to have half a pig, and we don't know what they were planning to do with it or if they wanted to corrupt someone. They just happened to bring it back, so we divided it among ourselves."

Gu Yunyang was taken aback. He used his wood-type ability to probe, but found no poison.

So it must be to corrupt others?

Who knows, that kind of person.

However, after investigating, he found no problem and left it at that.

"Alright, instructor, I'll head back now. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll definitely help if I can."

"etc."

Yu Lan suddenly spoke up, and Gu Yunyang looked up at her. Yu Lan was still a little hesitant.

Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "Instructor, just say what you want to say. Don't you trust me?"

Yu Lan then made up her mind and said in a low voice, "It's like this, can you get some fine grains?"

Before Gu Yunyang could answer, Yu Lan continued, "I am an only child, and my husband has a younger sister. So, we have two siblings. The elders in both families are getting old, and I was thinking of buying some fine grains to help them improve their health."

Gu Yunyang certainly understood.

These days, once a daughter is married, she's basically considered water spilled from a cup.

Except for a few exceptional individuals, they generally don't take much back to their parents' home.

Fine grains were out of the question.

This means that both sides are only children.

Yu Lan's parents were in the same situation; if they lived in the countryside, they might have been considered childless.

Yu Lan wants to be filial to her parents, but she still gets criticized by her in-laws.

Gu Yunyang nodded: "Yes, I can definitely help. Even if others don't have it, I will help the instructor get it. It's three cents a pound, no ration coupons required. And it will definitely be the best fine grain, rice or wheat flour is fine. The rice will definitely be free of stones, and the wheat flour will be 60 or 70 fen."

70 flour, also known as enriched flour, refers to the same type of flour.

70 flour, also known as enriched flour, refers to specially made second-grade wheat flour classified according to quality grade, with a flour yield between 73-75%.

60 units of flour is one unit; this refers to the ratio of flour yield.

There are even 30, 40, and 50 flour options, all made with refined flour.

Yu Lan's eyes lit up, but she asked worriedly, "Won't this be too much trouble? And the price?"

Gu Yunyang immediately said, "This price really can't be lowered any further. Otherwise, it won't be easy for me to handle. It's not that I don't want to help, Instructor."

Yu Lan quickly replied, "No, what I mean is, it's too cheap."
