What happened?
Gu Yunyang actually knew what was going on, but he pretended not to know and asked a question.
Gu Hanping's expression softened slightly, and he briefly explained to Gu Yunyang: "These old women do nothing but drag us down."
Gu Yunyang played the good cop: "Captain, it's the first time the aunties have seen this, they're just curious. It probably wasn't intentional."
Even brigade cadres can't all play the good cop.
One person reprimanded the other, and the other tried to mediate.
Gu Hanping held considerable authority in the village, so he was usually the one playing the "bad cop."
Gu Yunyang would play the good cop.
Gu Hanping knew that with just a few sweet potatoes, he couldn't possibly do anything to these women.
At most, how many work points will be deducted?
I'll be bothered by these aunties again later.
But not punishing them is not an option either.
Gu Hanping immediately said, "Next time Secretary Gu brings back something that doesn't require tickets, put your priority down."
In this way, they did not suffer any losses.
But I was still very unwilling to accept it.
After all, some people were almost in line, but Gu Hanping moved them to the back of the line with just one sentence.
Thinking of those flawed fabrics, and kerosene and such.
The women felt a little uncomfortable.
Gu Yunyang said a few words and then sent the aunties away.
Upon arriving at the brigade headquarters, Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "Just a few of them, nothing much. Luckily, we stopped them in time, and there were no problems."
Isn't that right?
Gu Hanping sometimes didn't even want to talk about these aunties; they were all so audacious.
When Chen Qijue came out, he also knew about the chestnut and sweet potato incident.
Gu Yunyang prepared one for Chen Qijue so that he could try it.
Gu Hanping had already taken out the scale, and the two men who were digging the ground began to weigh it.
"This basket weighs 65 jin (32.5 catties)..."
"It's delicious."
As Chen Qijue spoke, he took a bite and found the sweet potato to be particularly crisp.
Then we heard Gu Hanping announce several numbers from behind.
"70 jin, 75 jin, 66 jin, 80 jin, 77 jin."
"It weighs 433 jin in total. Subtracting the six baskets, each weighing about 1.5 jin, that's 9 jin. So that's 424 jin."
Chen Qijue was still calculating when he heard Gu Yunyang shout out all the numbers at once.
It took him a while to take out paper and pen and calculate the numbers.
They discovered that Gu Yunyang's calculations were absolutely accurate.
No wonder he's an educated youth from the capital.
His math skills are even better than his accounting skills.
Gu Hanping gasped: "You harvested 424 jin from just one fen of land. Doesn't that mean over 4,000 jin from one mu of land?"
"How much?" Chen Qijue knew about the sweet potatoes, but he didn't know how much land Gu Yunyang had used to grow them.
Hearing Gu Hanping's words, he was startled.
Gu Yunyang smiled and said modestly, "It's just one acre, but I take good care of it and fertilize it a lot. So the yield is definitely higher. If our brigade were to plant it, although it wouldn't be as good as mine, it should still yield more than 3,000 jin."
More than three thousand is a very high output.
In addition, Chen Qijue had just eaten one himself and found that this sweet potato was indeed extremely delicious.
"It would be great to exchange this for our current sweet potatoes."
He wanted to change it on the spot.
Unfortunately, these are now used as seeds.
"It's a pity we don't have enough seeds," Gu Hanping said regretfully.
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "It's alright. Let's take it one step at a time. When we don't have enough seeds, we'll cultivate them gradually. In other places, we should plant our original sweet potatoes first."
"Of course, not to mention the sugar workshop needs it. The pigsty and cowshed also need some."
"Okay, let's start seedling cultivation today. We'll plant two crops first, and then expand to a wider area once we have more grain."
