The two points Gu Yunyang raised were actually useful.
Zhou Zhigang thought for a moment, then, still finding fault, said, "These two points you mentioned."
He frowned and said, "The former, that was back in September. What you said is as good as saying nothing. As for the latter, sweet potatoes are coarse grains, not only do they not taste good, but they are also difficult to preserve."
Generally speaking, sweet potatoes can be stored for up to six months in a cool, dark place at 15-20 degrees Celsius.
At room temperature, after proper drying, sweet potatoes need to be placed in a cool, dry, and dark place, such as in a wooden box or cardboard box, with some dry straw to absorb moisture. They can usually be stored for about 1-2 months.
However, if simply left at home, sweet potatoes can only be stored at room temperature for one to two weeks.
Sweet potatoes are indeed not as easy to store as rice, that's for sure.
But it wasn't as Zhou Zhigang described, which was simply nitpicking.
Not to mention Liang Wenhao, even the several captains who had previously followed Zhou Zhigang harbored resentment towards him.
He said a few words, but they'll have to pay grain later, and that's what happens to them.
If we can't retain food, are we all supposed to starve?
Gu Yunyang scoffed, and Zhou Zhigang's face immediately turned cold. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Gu Yunyang, are you looking down on me, or do you think what I said is wrong?"
Gu Yunyang wanted to say that he both looked down on him and felt that what he said was wrong.
However, since he was in a meeting, he naturally couldn't say that.
But Gu Yunyang still glanced at Zhou Zhigang, and that one glance made Zhou Zhigang very angry.
Gu Yunyang thought that even a monkey's butt might pale in comparison to his red face.
Gu Yunyang ignored him and instead said to Hao Jianshe, "Secretary Hao, there are some requirements for the preservation of sweet potatoes."
However, sweet potatoes are grown all over the country.
Methods for preserving sweet potatoes may vary across the country, but each region has its own unique techniques.
In addition, raw sweet potatoes are not easy to preserve. We can steam them and make them into dried sweet potatoes, which makes them much easier to preserve.
Sweet potatoes can also be made into sweet potato starch and sweet potato flour, which are much easier to store...
Hao Jianshe's face lit up with delight; it did sound pretty good.
Sweet potato starch is quite delicious, and everyone knows how to make it, but the yield is relatively small.
It takes five pounds of sweet potatoes to make one pound of sweet potato flour.
Two or three ounces of sweet potato starch are usually enough to cook a large bowl of sweet potato noodles.
Sweet potato starch can be used to make many things, such as sweet potato starch jelly, sweet potato starch pancakes, sweet potato starch balls, sweet potato starch rice rolls, sweet potato starch jelly, and sweet potato starch bread.
Hao Jianshe nodded: "That's right, we all know how to process sweet potatoes."
Sweet potatoes themselves are not easy to preserve, but once sweet potato starch or sweet potato noodles are made, they are easy to preserve.
And the taste will be much better, not bad.
Zhou Zhigang's expression changed; he wasn't absent from these things.
Sweet potato vermicelli is a local specialty that many people know how to make.
Or to put it another way, almost everyone in the local rural area knows how to do this.
Sweet potatoes really don't taste good. If you eat them every day, even the best food will become unappetizing.
Gu Yunyang continued, "Furthermore, we have a lot of fruit locally now."
Lychees, longans, and Sanhua plums can all be dried into fruit, although they cannot be used as a staple food for a long time.
However, it also contains a significant amount of sugar.
We have plenty of produce here, but we can't transport it out. Why not dry it into dried fruit? It'll be easier to transport and will alleviate the food crisis to some extent.
They're eating tree bark and gnawing on tree roots over there.
Isn't dried fruit better than those?
Hao Jianshe hadn't expected that he had only wanted to ask Gu Yunyang for his opinion.
Gu Yunyang gave such a good suggestion.
Gu Yunyang added, "In addition, we can go beachcombing. There are many kinds of sea fish and shellfish that can be made into dried seafood, which is also a form of support."
Although Baishi Commune is not located by the sea, the ocean is just dozens of miles away as the crow flies.
