Around 2 PM, Xing Kai finally sent the guest who had been brought back out.
"Okay, be more careful when you go out at night from now on."
Xing Kai saw the person out, and found it somewhat amusing.
He himself would be less worried if he were more open-minded.
On the contrary, they won't get caught.
You're so guilty that you didn't even go to the black market, so why are you so worried?
After seeing the man off, Xing Kai prepared to go back himself.
It was late at night, and Xing Kai hadn't planned to go back, but the instructor had brought him a bowl of chicken that day.
Xing Kai originally planned to send him back today, but Zhou Zhigang sent someone to inform him that he had to go on a mission that night.
We need to take this bowl of chicken back quickly, or it will spoil.
"However, the food shortage is indeed huge. And judging from the weather, the drought will only get worse in the short term. The rations will continue to be reduced, and I don't know how we're going to survive."
When Xing Kai got home, his wife had just opened the door when he asked, "Why are you home so late?"
Previously, Xing Kai would stay in the police station's dormitory if it was even a little late.
So as not to come back and disturb her rest.
She quickly got out of bed: "Do you want me to cook you some noodles?"
"No need. The instructor's parents came today, and they killed a chicken and brought me a bowl of chicken. I'll bring it back for the kids and you to have an extra meal."
The couple chattered on and on, saying a lot.
The topic of quantity came up again, and both of them were somewhat worried.
Sister-in-law Xing said worriedly, "Do you think I should also go and buy some overpriced grain?"
Xing Kai was taken aback, then advised, "Let me think of something. Don't go to the black market for now, you know..."
"I know about your work. But your children at home..."
...
The following day, the Red Flag Brigade began making sweet potato starch and sweet potato noodles.
In fact, these two processes have a lot of overlap.
Or rather, sweet potato noodles are actually made using sweet potato starch as the raw material.
Moreover, the Red Flag Brigade also kept some for themselves after producing them.
These things taste good, and eating some occasionally can satisfy the cravings of both children and adults in the family.
Actually, it would be much simpler to make sweet potato starch within the base space.
Wash the sweet potatoes, cut them into chunks, and then blend them into a paste using a high-speed blender.
However, the Red Flag Brigade doesn't have a high-speed blender now, so they still have to use the traditional stone mill.
Fortunately, the Red Flag Brigade had a large number of people, and Gu Yunyang originally wanted to have the oxen pull the millstone.
After all, it's not the summer harvest yet, and the busy farming season hasn't started.
There's no need to be so frugal with oxen.
As a result, all the team members refused, wanting to earn work points instead.
Seeing this, Gu Hanping had no choice but to let his team members mount their horses themselves.
Anyway, the Red Flag Brigade has two stone mills, and with the team members taking turns, they won't be much slower than oxen.
"Never mind, the summer harvest is just around the corner. After that, we'll start planting the late rice."
Let's save some of our energy.
Everyone worked quickly, and in just half an hour, several large basins of sweet potato paste had been ground.
A woman brought gauze and began filtering.
Filter out the sweet potato tea residue, leaving only the water.
"Wash the residue several times with water. Don't waste any of this."
These days, there is a food shortage.
Even though I don't like it, I still need to save food.
Water is worthless; after washing, it can be used for other purposes.
"Don't throw away the leftovers; they can still be used as pig feed or organic fertilizer."
During this period, Gu Yunyang also gave Gu Hanping the recipes for his homemade fertilizers, and organized people to start making homemade fertilizers.
Putting aside other places, it will definitely be used in our own plots.
