Chief Chu didn't dwell on it much.
We still need to learn more about the White Stone Commune, but today's main purpose is not to visit the sugar factory.
He just happened to visit the Red Flag Brigade and saw the changes in the brigade.
He nodded when Gu Yunyang changed the subject.
Fu Shuhua opened her mouth, then closed it again.
Hao Jianshe was actually relieved; Fu Shuhua's support was quite good.
However, it seems that Zhou Zhigang's situation is beyond their control for the time being.
Hao Jianshe knew that the higher-ups still wanted to keep Zhou Zhigang around as a scapegoat, but he didn't know if Mayor Chu was aware of this.
In any case, Zhou Zhigang won't be removed from his post anytime soon.
But it doesn't matter. As long as Mayor Chu remembers this incident, he will deal with Zhou Zhigang sooner or later.
"Let's go try Secretary Gu's cooking."
As Chu Shichang moved forward, Gu Hanping quickly followed, explaining along the way.
Hao Jianshe pulled Gu Yunyang aside and asked, "Are you sure the commune can't afford to build a sugar factory?"
Gu Yunyang laughed, "It's highly unlikely to succeed. Barley can be replaced with wheat, but the effect will be much worse. And we don't have enough wheat here. Even if we could manage to get it up and running, the yield would probably be less than our Red Flag Brigade's workshop. And that Deputy Secretary Zhou's face..."
At first, Hao Jianshe was taken aback.
Winter wheat is also grown in some areas here.
Although each brigade planted only a small amount, when added together, it actually amounted to a considerable quantity.
But upon closer reflection, it's clear that Zhou Zhigang couldn't possibly obtain all of it.
Even if some were obtained, the output would be small.
There are indeed quite a few sweet potatoes grown locally, but they are also a staple food.
Which brigade would hand it over for no reason?
Producing sugar for the commune's sugar factory?
So there's probably no need to worry.
Hao Jianshe then asked, "What if they actually manage to get their hands on sugarcane?"
This is a big problem.
But Gu Yunyang was even less worried. Seeing that Hao Jianshe was still very worried, he reminded him, "Secretary Hao, what are you worried about? White sugar is a strategic material."
Huh?
Hao Jianshe slapped his forehead: "I forgot."
Gu Yunyang smiled.
I remember that in the 21st century, Africa really shocked many people.
With white sugar, fertilizer, and domestically produced gas cylinders, you can make hand-made bombs.
Back then, it caused a great shock and generated a lot of discussion in the novel industry.
Hao Jianshe felt relieved after Gu Yunyang said that.
No matter how capable Zhou Zhigang is, he can't possibly steal a share of sugarcane from the municipal sugar factory, which would make the sugar factory a joke.
The two caught up with the group ahead. Hao Jianshe went to continue following Chief Chu, while Gu Yunyang went to the small kitchen next to the brigade headquarters.
Before long, an even richer aroma wafted out.
Even the Chief Chu was somewhat surprised: "What kind of fragrance is this? You guys shouldn't spend too much money; everyone's having a hard time right now."
People in this era were quite frugal; they were lucky if they could have a meat dish in a meal.
However, the Red Flag Brigade prepared quite a lot of meat dishes, because there were a large number of people coming down, so they had to prepare more.
Gu Hanping didn't actually know what Gu Yunyang was going to do.
Before he could explain, a voice came from the other end.
"The food is ready, Captain, let's eat."
Good heavens, Gu Hanping knew that Gu Yunyang had brought a lot of meat dishes.
But I never expected the meal to be so lavish.
Mayor Chu was startled, and his face immediately turned ugly: "We do not advocate waste, nor do we advocate extravagant enjoyment."
Hao Jianshe was actually quite satisfied, but he still offered a few words of criticism after hearing what Mayor Chu said.
