Gu Yunyang said, "I'll go find Sister Zhuang, and we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to settle things."
Also, I've bought everything everyone needs. We'll have a meal at the state-run hotel later; it's my treat, before we head back.
Gu Hanping opened his mouth, as if to say, "Don't treat us."
Everyone has their own struggles, so I brought some dry food, which I ate and that was it.
It's not easy to say it to their faces.
She was still thinking to herself, "He's so young, yet he doesn't know how to manage a household."
If you don't plan ahead, you'll run out of money eventually.
Gu Yunyang was unaware of Gu Hanping's worries. When he entered the office, he encountered several colleagues who thanked him.
Previously, there were lychees and spicy rabbit, and today there are various fruits, as well as some maltose.
"Putting everything else aside, how much is this maltose? We need some too."
Who doesn't have a child at home?
Those who work in the city, especially those whose families have two or even three working parents, don't have an easy life, but they do have some spare money.
The hardship was mainly due to the small size of the houses, which were not large enough to accommodate everyone, and the lack of food.
Without food coupons, it was really difficult to buy enough food.
Gu Yunyang answered all of them and agreed to them.
He already had a preliminary calculation in his mind about the price of the maltose.
One pound of sweet potatoes yields about one and a half ounces of maltose.
This includes losses.
Let's calculate it as one and a half ounces.
A pound of sweet potatoes costs about four or five cents, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, but let's just say four cents a pound.
The cost of making about one pound of maltose is roughly equivalent to the cost of about seven pounds of sweet potatoes, which is about 28 cents.
Gu Yunyang and his group definitely want to make money.
Not to mention labor costs, there are also the costs of raw materials such as firewood and barley.
These all cost money.
Even if we calculate it, the cost is only 35 cents.
We need to make a profit, otherwise why bother with all this?
Gu Yunyang plans to set the ex-factory price at 50 cents per pound.
When Gu Yunyang found Zhuang Xiaoxing, he took out an oil paper package from his bag: "Sister Zhuang, I went up the mountain these past few days and caught two rabbits. I've already cooked them."
There weren't many things, so I didn't take them out earlier. These are things only Sister Zhuang has.
Gu Yunyang quickly handed it over, and Zhuang Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment before smiling and accepting it.
Then he put the oil paper package into the drawer.
These days, who doesn't have a shortage of meat?
Zhuang Xiaoxing's husband is the purchasing director of the supply and marketing cooperative, and their life is much better than that of other families.
But to say you can eat meat freely is a joke.
Gu Yunyang was keen to seize this opportunity, so Zhuang Xiaoxing accepted it.
Thinking of her children, Zhuang Xiaoxing couldn't stop smiling.
"Okay, I'll get ready, then we can go."
Zhuang Xiaoxing said, "I've already asked Director He for leave. By the way, Director He said that you'll have to pay for your travel expenses and accommodation. He asked me to give you three yuan for the trip, as well as two jin of grain coupons and one jin of meat coupons. Just sign here, and I'll give you the money and coupons."
Gu Yunyang was taken aback, but Director He had mentioned the business trip allowance before.
As per the rules, Gu Yunyang signed the papers and received the money.
His face was naturally beaming with smiles.
Who wouldn't want a stable source of income?
As the two came out, Gu Yunyang said with a smile, "It's just in time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. I brought money and a bicycle ticket with me. I'll ask my brother-in-law to find me a bicycle later. Our commune's supply and marketing cooperative was robbed, and we don't have any bicycles. I guess I'll still have to come to the city occasionally in the future, and it's not good to take an oxcart every time. I'll have to buy a bicycle."
