"What? This is impossible!"
Cao's mother screamed loudly.
Normally, in the past, 500 jin of sweet potatoes wouldn't be a big deal.
As long as you can get the sugar-making technology, won't the money just keep flowing in?
As for sweet potatoes?
It's less than a penny a pound, how much is that?
I heard that the Red Flag Brigade can earn fifty yuan a day.
Even if someone possessed this skill, she wouldn't be interested in a hen that lays golden eggs.
But by this time she already knew that there seemed to be some key steps in the process that they were unaware of.
Although Gu Yunyang said he wanted barley malt, she didn't know what barley was.
But it sounds like it should be similar to wheat.
They do grow winter wheat here, but not much of it.
It can only be grown in a small number of places.
They probably can't get their hands on that barley.
Even if we could get our hands on it, it probably wouldn't be cheap.
The key issue is that we might not be able to get this daughter.
Anyway, after what happened today, Cao Ma guessed that the Red Flag Brigade's wariness of her daughter would definitely not be as it is now in the future.
Obtaining the most crucial technological components will likely not be so easy.
In that case, the prospect of making money on their own seems to be a long way off.
In this situation, even their own lives are difficult.
Five hundred pounds of sweet potatoes used to last two or three months, or even half a year if you were frugal and gathered some wild vegetables.
“No, we don’t have enough food to begin with. We’ve already wasted 200 jin of sweet potatoes. If we were given another 500 jin of grain, our whole family might as well just give up and die.”
Cao's father also denied it outright, decisively and without any room for discussion.
If we agree to this, won't our family starve to death?
Although they had secretly planted sweet potatoes on the mountain, they only needed to wait two or three months for a good harvest.
But that matter cannot be exposed.
Otherwise, the whole family might have to go in.
This is no joke.
They occupy public land and exploit the public.
If you get caught, how can things possibly get better?
Didn't you see that the Hongqi Brigade needed the commune and forestry bureau's permission to reclaim land on the mountain?
This kind of thing can only be done secretly; it can't be known by anyone.
If word gets out, it will be extremely troublesome.
"What's going on?" Gu Changbai's voice rang out from outside, and then a group of people turned to the door and saw Gu Changbai return.
"Son-in-law!" Cao Ma rushed over, wanting to grab Gu Changbai's hand and cry.
Cao Ying was a little worried and scared, but Gu Changbai was also her man and her pillar of support.
She was a little scared when she was facing her father-in-law and Gu Yunyang.
At that moment, she felt as if she had found her pillar of support.
Gu Hanping glanced at his eldest son, glared at him irritably, and said, "Ask Secretary Gu."
Gu Hanping addressed Gu Yunyang as Secretary Gu.
This was to show that Gu Yunyang didn't need to worry about the relationship between the two parties and could do whatever he wanted.
This matter must be handled properly and beautifully, so as to avoid being criticized by others in the brigade.
Although this craft was brought by Gu Yunyang, it now belongs to the brigade, and the others won't give them any special treatment.
Gu Yunyang casually gave a brief summary of the matter.
With red eyes, Gu Changbai turned and glared at Cao Ying: "You actually didn't listen to my advice? Didn't I tell you not to go around talking nonsense?"
Cao Ying said aggrievedly, "That's not outside, isn't that my parents' home?"
