The news about chestnuts and sweet potatoes quickly spread throughout the entire Hongqi Brigade.
Most people were curious: was it really as delicious as the captain said?
But Sanmao and another man had also served her, and several aunts had also tasted it; it was indeed delicious.
Therefore, no one doubted it.
Some people are speculating: just how delicious must it be for them to say it's delicious?
However, there's definitely no way to do it now.
Because they have all been cut open, breeding has begun.
Even the most discerning person wouldn't dig up and eat the sweet potatoes they've already bought.
Believe it or not, they even fertilized it.
Farmyard manure.
These days, Gu Hanping has been organizing people to pick all the fruit and share some with everyone.
There were just too many, so the team didn't care.
In addition, every household has fruit trees, and they can't even finish eating all of their own fruit.
The rest couldn't be transported out, so they were dried into fruit preserves.
Lychee, longan, and wampee.
There are also a few varieties that ripen in July.
July-ripening is a pear variety mainly cultivated in Guangdong Province, belonging to the mid-to-late ripening variety.
Its fruit is pear-shaped, medium-sized, with an average single fruit weight of about 87 grams. The peel is relatively thick, and the lower part of the fruit is pink when ripe. The flesh is white, tender, and sweet, and it is abundant in yield.
This type of pear ripens from before the Great Heat (a solar term in traditional Chinese astrology) to the Autumnal Equinox, with peak production around the Great Heat.
It's not mature yet.
These pears taste pretty good. Gu Yunyang plans to collect a few and bring them to market ahead of schedule again.
Everything is precious because it is rare.
The remaining people have already started harvesting sweet potatoes.
Because they needed to supply the sugar workshops, the Hongqi Brigade planted a lot of sweet potatoes in batches.
Some of it needs to be dug out and supplied to sugar workshops.
Some of them were dug up and made into steamed sweet potato chips to prepare for the grain supply that might be sent to the Central Plains region.
Another thing is to make sweet potato starch and sweet potato noodles, just like Gu Yunyang mentioned before.
Locals know how to do all of these.
Gu Hanping specially hired someone to do this, and calculated it according to full work points.
With the addition of sugar-making workshops this year, there's no need to worry about not being able to exchange these work points for money.
Gu Hanping found his work much easier.
"I'll take this part first and steam the sweet potatoes. I'll tell everyone how to do it after I've finished the experiment."
Everyone knows how to make dried sweet potatoes, but the quality of how well they're made varies greatly.
Some families make delicious sweet potato chips, while others' chips are... well, let's just say they're not great.
Gu Yunyang's cooking skills are quite good, a fact that Gu Hanping and the others all know.
Gu Yunyang added, "Moreover, I saw a recipe for steamed sweet potatoes in a book that doesn't require many ingredients. I'll try it first, and if it works, our brigade can use it to open another workshop."
Gu Yunyang suddenly thought of this while talking about this.
There are still many things made from sweet potatoes in later generations.
For example, sweet potato balls, but these require a lot of oil to fry, so most people don't make them.
I might do it occasionally, except during the Chinese New Year.
Sweet potato egg tarts, sweet potato cheese balls, sweet potato mille-feuille yogurt cake, sweet potato pudding tarts, sweet potato baked milk—there are many things made with sweet potatoes.
There are also hot and sour noodles, etc.
Knowing Gu Yunyang's culinary skills and hearing that he had seen it in a book, Gu Hanping immediately agreed: "Okay, go and take a look."
Gu Yunyang packed his things and headed back. Just as he reached the educated youth settlement, he saw Daya playing in the yard.
