After everyone left, Gu Hanping looked at Gu Yunyang.
They had already discussed the expansion of the sugar workshop, but the exact timeframes for the end of this year and next year had not yet been determined.
Gu Yunyang said, "It'll be around the end of the year. We can make some money from the maltose during the New Year. By the way, some of the new sweet potato varieties I gave you should be sprouting by now. Can you confirm the yield per acre?"
"Not yet," Gu Hanping shook his head. "But we dug up a few sweet potato seedlings and took a look. Based on our judgment, they will definitely yield more than our previous sweet potatoes. However, the sweet potato seedlings in the orchard may not be as good as those in the ground."
"That's for sure. After all, in the orchard, we also have to worry about sweet potato seedlings stealing fertilizer from the fruit trees. If there isn't enough fertilizer, the sweet potato seedlings naturally won't grow as many sweet potatoes. And, sunlight is also a problem."
While the space can be fully utilized, the fruit trees will inevitably block some of the sunlight.
This is something that can't be helped.
But it's still better than leaving the land unused.
This is called making full use of resources.
Gu Hanping thought about it and agreed. Although the past two years had been tough, the Spring Festival was the most important festival for Chinese people.
On this day, they will take out and eat everything they usually can't bear to eat.
On this day, they will wear all the clothes they usually wouldn't wear.
Even children would have candy and pocket money in their pockets.
That was settled then, and Gu Hanping asked, "How was your business trip today?"
"Very good, everything is going smoothly."
"That's good."
After exchanging a few words, Gu Yunyang took his leave and went home.
As for Gu Changhong?
Who would want to talk to her?
At this time, it was questionable whether anyone could even be found in the commune.
Of course, even if they found him, the people of the commune wouldn't support Gu Changhong.
If they knew the truth behind Gu Changhong's complaint, they would be even less likely to support Gu Changhong.
Locals should still be treated well; otherwise, the educated youth will take away all the opportunities from the locals.
How could they integrate into the local community before that?
Then the previous policy of sending people to the countryside would be subject to repeated changes and could not continue.
Gu Yunyang had anticipated this, so Gu Changhong's outburst posed no real threat to him.
Back home, Gu Yunyang started cooking.
When Zhang Jianjun returned, Gu Yunyang said with a smile, "How about we have some local claypot rice?"
I suddenly had a craving for this today—the crispy rice at the bottom, the vegetables and mushrooms on top, plus the aroma of sausage and cured meat.
It's absolutely delicious!
This was Zhang Jianjun's first time eating this, and he looked at Gu Yunyang with curiosity, nodding: "Whatever, it's fine. I don't know how to cook anything myself, so what's wrong with getting a free meal? By the way, aren't you afraid Gu Changhong will cause trouble?"
Gu Yunyang broke down Zhang Jianjun's reasoning in detail and laughed, "She did so poorly on the exam, and she might even damage the harmonious relationship between the educated youth and the locals. The commune cadres must be stupid to join Gu Changhong in this. If she can really find someone to support her, wouldn't that person be too pitiful?"
Only then did Zhang Jianjun realize that there were so many other things involved.
Zhang Jianjun remarked, "You're truly born for this line of work. I just can't do it."
Gu Yunyang laughed and scolded, "So you should hurry up and enlist. It's simpler over there, but it's not like there aren't any tricks around. However, you have many people in your family who are involved in this, so you're definitely more familiar with it than I am. I don't need to say much more."
While the two were chatting and laughing, Gu Changhong arrived at the commune and actually found Zhou Zhigang.
At first, Zhou Zhigang was quite happy to hear that Gu Changhong had something on Gu Yunyang.
Gu Yunyang has been helping Hao Jianshe a lot lately. A mushroom spawn bag has led to a lot of trouble.
Who knew that Gu Changhong would finish explaining everything in one go?
