When the conversation turned to business, Hao Wenhua snapped out of his reverie and quickly said, "It's good news. It's like this, Mayor Chu from the city called and said he'll be coming here to inspect in a few days."
If you're really here to see a semi-mechanized threshing machine, then you definitely have to come to the Hongqi Brigade.
That's why Secretary Hao quickly sent me here to inform you.
Make sure to provide proper hospitality.
Hao Wenhua spoke with a pointed tone.
Everyone understood then.
When leaders come down for an inspection, how can they not be provided with meals?
So we need to prepare some meat.
This matter cannot be stated explicitly, but everyone understands the situation.
Hao Wenhua pulled out some meat coupons from his pocket: "Captain, Secretary Gu, take these. Secretary Hao specially prepared them for you."
Well, now they've even prepared hostages.
The meaning becomes even clearer.
Gu Yunyang took it and handed it to Gu Hanping: "Captain, you keep it for now. I'll check when I go to the commune and bring back some more meat."
Gu Hanping accepted it without hesitation.
After finishing his business, Hao Wenhua took his leave. Gu Yunyang saw him to the outside, and Hao Wenhua then said, "By the way, Secretary Gu. Those dried sweet potatoes you sent last time..."
He hesitated to speak, but Gu Yunyang knew exactly what was going on.
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "It's nothing. We made those dried sweet potatoes ourselves, it didn't take much effort. If Officer Hao likes them, I can get you some more. They're at my house on the mountain."
Hao Wenhua smiled sheepishly, "Yeah, I have kids at home. They all like to eat this. Well, I won't take advantage of you, let's calculate the cost. I'll give you two cents a pound, can you give me twenty pounds?"
That's really not polite.
It takes about two pounds of fresh sweet potatoes to make one pound of dried sweet potato.
However, Gu Yunyang's method requires multiple steaming and air-drying processes, and it takes at least three pounds of sweet potatoes to produce one pound of dried sweet potatoes.
At five cents a pound for fresh sweet potatoes, it seems like I even made a little profit.
But making steamed sweet potato chips is a very strenuous task.
However, if you calculate it at two cents per pound, you can still make a little profit, though not much.
Gu Yunyang earns a good amount of money every month and doesn't want to bother with this.
But there are plenty of people in this group who can't make money, and many more who want to.
They just couldn't make Gu Yunyang's dried sweet potatoes; the taste wasn't as good.
However, Hao Wenhua and Hao Jianshe are related as uncle and nephew, and Gu Yunyang naturally has to take care of this relationship.
Moreover, he can have a housekeeping robot do it, so he doesn't have to put in much effort himself.
The reason he did it on his own outside was to cover his tracks and let everyone see his actions, so that they wouldn't speculate or make wild guesses.
Once they reached the mountain, Gu Yunyang gave them twelve jin of dried sweet potatoes and charged them two yuan.
Consider the extra as a token of my appreciation.
Hao Wenhua was well aware of the situation, but he kept saying nice things to him.
After seeing Hao Wenhua off, Gu Hanping came over and asked, "You mean the commune cadres also like to eat dried sweet potatoes?"
How novel! These days, there aren't many snacks available.
When you come across something that tastes good, of course you'll want to eat it!
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "That's only because our sweet potato chips taste good, otherwise people will come to buy them."
Otherwise, if people make their own, why would they need to come and buy from us?
But the team leader doesn't need to worry, our chestnut and sweet potato planting has already begun.
Next year, we can start planting sweet potatoes on a large scale, and then our brigade can also make dried sweet potatoes.
When the time comes, I will have Gu Hongmei and Gu Honglan teach everyone how to make it.
Director Yan and I have already agreed that the supply and marketing cooperative will buy the produce that tastes good. This will give everyone an extra source of income.
Gu Hanping was taken aback: "Yunyang, you're the most thoughtful one."
People still need to study; only by studying can they find a way out.
In the same environment, you performed far better than everyone else.
Gu Yunyang asked curiously, "Captain, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Do we need to beat around the bush like that?"
