But handing it over is a bit painful.
Including sweet potato starch, it weighs about 5,000 jin.
This time, the Red Flag Brigade provided 13,000 jin of grain.
The support was undeniably strong.
In addition, there were dried fruits, totaling five thousand catties.
These dried fruits are not all; the Hongqi Brigade is still drying more, and they can provide several thousand kilograms more later.
The Red Flag Brigade needs to keep a portion for itself, and each member's family will receive a portion.
These are snacks I saved for the elderly and children in my family.
It can also be considered a snack to serve guests during the Chinese New Year.
In previous years, the members of the Red Flag Brigade would also do this.
The carts were piled high with goods.
Gu Hanping remarked with emotion, "If you hadn't brought back another bison later, we wouldn't have had enough transport capacity."
On the way, when we passed that mountain, we still needed to move the things down and then carry them over manually.
Gu Yunyang, however, had a way to bring the car over directly.
But I was also worried that the things on the cart might fall off because the slope was too steep.
Even on the steepest part, things might still spill out.
There was no other way; at that time, plastic bags hadn't been introduced yet, and urea bags were very precious items.
There were several families in the Hongqi Brigade who had no money or cloth coupons, so they sewed together urea bags to make clothes.
As for cloth bags, that's even more impossible.
Things packed in bamboo baskets cannot be sealed at the top and are prone to falling out.
On the road, people had no way to ride in oxcarts.
Those rushing to catch the train all got off the train.
The cart is loaded with too much stuff, and the oxen are struggling to keep up.
Gu Yunyang thought to himself, "If only I could get a tractor."
A single vehicle can carry several thousand kilograms.
This amount of stuff, weighing over 10,000 kilograms, cannot be packed all at once.
There were also people carrying them on shoulder poles; these were all counted as full work points, twelve a day.
However, transporting them out of the Red Flag Brigade required considerable effort along the way.
Gu Yunyang asked, "Captain, in previous years when we delivered grain to the state, did we always do it this way, carrying it by hand?"
In previous years, there were only three cows, so it was obviously unrealistic to rely entirely on oxcarts for transportation.
Before Gu Hanping could answer, a tractor sputtered up and drove up beside them.
Then they drove away in a cloud of dust.
Sitting on the tractor, Liang Wenhao waved to Gu Yunyang and greeted him loudly, "Yunyang, I won't say any more. I'll deliver the things first."
Gu Yunyang was somewhat surprised: "Captain, what's wrong with him?"
Liang Wenhao and Gu Yunyang get along quite well.
In addition, Hao Jianshe had a good attitude towards Gu Yunyang and valued him highly.
Liang Wenhao wouldn't offend Gu Yunyang for no reason.
Gu Hanping said knowingly, "They're all going to reserve spots. The Red Star Brigade also has oxcarts, and the tractors can't transport everything. The oxcarts are at the back, and the tractors go first to reserve spots. Once they get there, they can hand over the goods. There's no need to wait there afterward."
He sighed, "This is still good. This time it's the commune's requirement, and we're not handing in as much as the grain tax. When it comes to handing in the grain tax, that's when things will get really troublesome. We'll have to send all the grain to the grain depot's warehouse, and then wait for the grain depot staff to come and check the quality and weigh it. Some brigades will have to wait several days."
Gu Yunyang fell silent.
The first grain delivery has not yet arrived.
He had already imagined those tumultuous and unbearable days.
When you're out and about, it's not convenient to get a meal.
The Baishi Commune has more than twenty production brigades, all of which have to pay grain taxes. Isn't that a lot of trouble?
He could already imagine the days he would spend sitting outside the warehouse waiting.
This cannot be done.
