Moutai and Wuliangye, among others, are all made from sorghum.
In addition, sorghum was also used to make sugar. At that time, sorghum candy, which was very popular, was made from sorghum.
Gu Yunyang felt that red sorghum would taste better, and he could keep some for himself, so he decided to switch to red sorghum for everything.
The brigade leader thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we still have potatoes and sweet potatoes. Don't you plan to exchange some? Hmm, the village also has soybeans and red beans."
Judging from the captain's expression, he didn't intend to have all of them change into the same thing.
Gu Yunyang also thought that he could collect some beans and grow them himself. These beans are rich in oil and can be used to extract oil.
"Forget about the potatoes and sweet potatoes, I'm going to mail them to the rural areas."
However, if you have soybeans, red beans, mung beans, kidney beans, etc., please give me some of each.
If that doesn't work, sorghum and cornmeal will do.
After thinking it over, Gu Yunyang realized that he didn't want these things to eat.
It can be used to feed chickens or as seeds.
Either way is fine.
The captain nodded and agreed, "Alright then, wait a moment, I'll go get it for you. But do you have a bag?"
These days, everything requires a ticket.
This bag costs money too.
It's impossible for them to give it to you.
Gu Yunyang thought to himself that he would have to go to downtown Harbin to buy some flour bags later.
Otherwise, we won't have any containers to store things later.
"Um, I don't have any. But if there are any in the village, can I give them two cents for each bag?"
Two cents is a bit expensive; usually it's one cent each.
But isn't this something I don't have?
The captain readily agreed.
Before long, they brought Gu Yunyang a bunch of things.
"There are two bags in total. This one contains thirty catties of red sorghum. The bag over there contains two catties of soybeans, two catties of mung beans, two catties of red beans, two catties of kidney beans, and two catties of broad beans, all of which are dried. Take a look for yourself."
Gu Yunyang had seen all the other types.
I've only ever heard of kidney beans; apparently, in Northeast China, they're used to make pickles.
It's rarely seen in the south.
Or perhaps Gu Yunyang wasn't quite sure, in any case he hadn't seen it much.
Kidney beans have the effect of helping to lower cholesterol, making them a good type of bean.
Gu Yunyang counted them briefly, lifted them, and judged by feel that they were roughly the same weight.
The brigade leader, with a dark complexion, smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're all farmers, honest and straightforward. The scales are always high, you definitely won't be shortchanged."
Gu Yunyang checked the beans again, and they were all clean, without any stones or anything like that. He then took out four cents to pay for the bag of beans.
There were people at the brigade headquarters, so the brigade commander obviously couldn't leave.
But he didn't want to keep watching Gu Yunyang here, so he made a few arrangements and left.
Gu Yunyang sat here, feeling somewhat bored.
Zuo Qiulin and his group obviously wanted to scout the mountain further to verify the truthfulness of Gu Yunyang's words.
With three wounded soldiers to carry, his speed naturally couldn't match Gu Yunyang's.
Gu Yunyang didn't know how much longer he would have to wait, but he heard the captain chatting with someone outside. Soon they started talking about family matters.
The brigade leader sighed, "Tell me, the eldest son in this family is getting married, and his partner wants the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of three turns and a radio), but where in our rural area can we find those things? We can't even get the tickets."
