Chapter 261 Crude Starch, You Be the Foreman (2/2)



What exactly is their relationship?

Gu Shimin really wanted to know.

But then I thought about how I was called here by the brigade leader to do this job, and I only got 15 cents a day for it.

He didn't dare offend the captain.

If you get kicked out, you'll only get ten work points a day, well, maybe not even that.

After the busy farming season is over, it's time to take care of the orchard.

Getting six work points a day is considered good.

Eight work points is the maximum.

Based on past experience, one work point might be worth one cent.

Moreover, there is another big problem: the brigade must have money in its account before it can distribute the funds.

In a brigade like Hongqi, there was a famine every year, and the brigade needed support from the commune to survive.

Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to afford seeds.

Want a share of the money?

Are you kidding me?

At most, I'll give you a few more kilograms of sweet potatoes.

Who wants that!

In the evening, Gu Yunyang went to the warehouse behind the brigade headquarters.

Gu Changbai has already finished the grinding process.

Gu Yunyang went to take a look, and to his surprise, even after he told Gu Changbai twice, Gu Changbai did a pretty good job.

At least, from his perspective, it should be considered acceptable.

"Hmm, grind it a little finer next time. These bits and pieces can also be picked out and taken to the cowshed."

The piglets haven't been brought back yet, and the pigsty hasn't been repaired either.

That will be a little later, but Gu Yunyang isn't in a hurry.

Gu Yunyang looked at it and said, "Go and get a piece of coarse cloth or ramie linen. We need to filter it again. Filter out all the residue, and then let it stand for an hour. Pour out the supernatant, and the bottom part is what I need."

Gu Changbai is not very proactive, but at least he is obedient and has a strong ability to take action.

Gu Yunyang told him to prepare it, and Gu Changbai quickly brought it back.

Gu Yunyang hadn't finished speaking when Gu Changbai ran out and returned with a piece of coarse cloth. Gu Yunyang was both amused and exasperated: "Where did you get this from? You didn't take it from your own house, did you?"

Gu Changbai scratched the back of his head, somewhat at a loss.

Gu Yunyang waved his hand: "Forget it, it hasn't started yet. The brigade headquarters doesn't have this either, we'll definitely have to procure it later. Let's use it for now."

Since this thing is indestructible anyway, Gu Yunyang was still thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to make some tofu.

In the end, nothing came of it.

The two of them spent almost half an hour filtering the sweet potato pulp.

It needs to be left to stand for an hour afterward.

Gu Yunyang said, "You go back and eat first. I'll come over and pour it out after you finish eating."

Gu Changbai disagreed: "I'll do this. I'm going back for dinner and will be back soon."

Seeing him turn and run, Gu Yunyang had to quickly call out to him, "Lock the door first. Remember, you must lock the door. Don't let these things out of your sight. Once they are out of sight, lock the door again."

Gu Changbai scratched the back of his head sheepishly, then quickly ran back and locked the door.

Then, he ran back again.

Gu Yunyang smiled and shook his head. He went back and ate dinner. When he came over, Gu Changbai was already waiting for him.

"Secretary, look, is it okay now?"

Gu Yunyang calculated the time, then shone a flashlight on the area to check the situation and found that the sediment had almost settled.

Nodding, Gu Yunyang said, "That's about it. Slow down, tilt the bucket and pour out the water. The remaining white starch is the coarse starch I need."

The two of them busied themselves for a while, with Gu Changbai being extremely careful. Afterwards, they used a cloth bag to carefully drain the water from inside.

I scraped it out and put it in a basin next to me.

Gu Yunyang had just returned from the brigade headquarters with a scale. After weighing the sweet potatoes, he smiled and said, "Not bad. We used 30 jin of sweet potatoes. Now it weighs a total of 5 jin and 8 liang. Subtracting the 9 liang from the enamel basin, it's 4 jin and 9 liang, which is about right. You did a good job. If we set up a sugar-making workshop in the future, it would be nice for you to be the foreman."

Gu Changbai, who was standing next to him, was already laughing so hard he was dumbfounded: "What is a foreman?"
