Chapter 674 A Thorough Investigation Up the Mountain (2/2)



But these dishes, without oil, are really not tasty.

Gu Yunyang really likes to stir-fry vegetables with lard; the aroma is indescribable.

"We've divided the land here, and most of it is used to grow sweet potatoes. But we've also planted some other grains like corn."

Gu Yunyang had previously applied to the commune to reclaim wasteland.

On the first occasion, Hao Jianshe approved fifty mu of land.

Gu Yunyang wanted to reclaim more land, and Hao Jianshe said he would ask the Forestry Bureau for him.

When this topic came up, Hao Jianshe quickly said, "By the way, I asked the Forestry Bureau for you last time, and there shouldn't be any problems. You can start preparing after the summer harvest."

Gu Yunyang showed a hint of surprise: "That's great! We can plant them all together when we plant them in the fall. The weather in Guangdong is good, so even if we plant sweet potatoes in the fall, they will grow well."

The weather here is a subtropical monsoon climate, so even in winter it's not too cold.

Therefore, when people went to the countryside as educated youth, their first choice was still Northeast China.

There, you can work for half a year and rest for half a year. It starts snowing in November or December and may still be snowing in March or April of the following year.

But it's also different, except for a few places where it snows.

The temperature here is quite nice all year round.

Working year-round without a break—this kind of life is simply unbelievable.

Fortunately, Gu Yunyang doesn't have to work in the fields all year round. Although he does need to use his brain to help the Red Flag Brigade think of ways to develop its economy.

At least, you don't have to work in the fields all year round, right?

Gu Yunyang was genuinely happy, as the Hongqi Brigade didn't have much arable land.

Therefore, the more land reclamation work we do, the better.

Although the land on the mountain cannot be used to grow rice unless it is converted into paddy fields.

Can't you grow sweet potatoes there?

This is a good opportunity for the sugar workshop to increase production.

Is Baishi Commune going to do this too?

We'll see how much production we can achieve then.

Gu Yunyang has no shortage of barley, but how could Baishi Commune have obtained so much?

After inspecting the land, the crops on the fifty acres were growing quite well.

Gu Yunyang would occasionally come here to use his wood-type ability to stimulate growth, but he didn't dare to use too much.

If it grows too fast, it will be very noticeable.

Gu Yunyang strictly controlled the speed to avoid making it too astonishing.

As he descended the mountain, Gu Yunyang looked back at the undulating forest behind him.

Gu Yunyang thought to himself, "Let's find an opportunity today and start clearing out some land."

Previously, Gu Yunyang had already controlled the birds and drones to survey the area, all in order to find a secluded place that was not easily accessible to others for reclamation.

Gu Yunyang was also hesitant, wondering whether he should tell Gu Hanping.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. There are still three years until the Great Famine is completely over.

Although Guangdong Province is unlikely to experience water shortages, the rice harvest this autumn may still be reduced due to weather conditions.

In addition to the overall national coordination, they also request to donate grain to other places.

Gu Yunyang didn't object to such a thing, but they themselves also needed to ensure they had enough food to eat.

Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow for the private cultivation of more grains.

On the way down the mountain, Chief Chu discovered the situation in the orchard.

"You've planted sweet potatoes under the fruit trees in the orchard?"

Gu Hanping said proudly, "Yes, Yunyang taught us this. Anyway, there are gaps between the fruit trees, so we can plant more on the sunny side. Although it's not as good as the land specifically for growing sweet potatoes, the growth is still pretty good."

The sugar workshop is short of raw materials; otherwise, how could it only make fifty yuan a day?

Gu Hanping also wants to earn more money.

There's a nationwide sugar shortage right now, and although maltose isn't as expensive as White Rabbit candy, it still makes the Red Flag Brigade quite a bit of money.

"Indeed, it seems that Yunyang has indeed been studying very diligently in the capital."
