There are some things I haven't even considered.
As for withdrawing all the money and putting it at the brigade headquarters?
Even Gu Hanping didn't dare.
If I were to do that, I wouldn't dare sleep at night.
Wow, that's over a thousand a month!
Of course, there are also costs for some raw materials.
But these are all sweet potatoes from the Hongqi Brigade. The sweet potato vines that they planted earlier have already climbed a bit, and they need to start turning the vines over to prevent them from taking root in the ground.
In a little while, the new sweet potatoes will be ripe.
I didn't know how to use these sweet potatoes before.
Now they can be sold directly to sugar workshops.
They say sweet potatoes are four or five cents a pound, but they still need to be able to sell them.
When we arrived at the state-run hotel, there were still people waiting outside.
I bought so much stuff.
Gu Yunyang went inside and took a look. Today, the roast goose was free of charge. Not bad, he ordered one.
For people from Guangdong, roast goose is just as delicious as Peking duck in the eyes of people from Beijing.
They also served poached chicken, stir-fried pork, and we ordered a vegetable dish.
Gu Yunyang happened to receive his subsidy today, which included meat coupons, and he contributed them as well.
Gu Hanping opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Just after ordering, I heard a commotion outside.
Gu Yunyang and Gu Hanping's expressions changed, and they quickly came out, only to see several old ladies wearing red armbands grabbing the Red Flag Brigade members who were guarding outside.
The words "speculation and profiteering" were constantly being used in the conversation.
Such a large transaction certainly couldn't be done by an individual.
Without a proper explanation, we're definitely going to suffer this loss today.
Gu Hanping was also a little anxious, but not afraid, since he was in the right.
Gu Yunyang quickly stepped forward to stop them: "Ladies, ladies. We are from the Red Flag Brigade, and I am the brigade secretary..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone questioned him: "You? The brigade secretary? You're good-looking, but you're way too young. Have you even grown your hair yet?"
Gu Yunyang was speechless.
But he is indeed young, that's something that can't be said.
Gu Yunyang had no choice but to pull Gu Hanping out: "This is our younger brother, the team leader. We came to make purchases today. Our company's supply and marketing cooperative was robbed. I wonder if you know about this, older sister?"
Eldest sister?
The middle-aged women burst out laughing.
Probably no one calls them that.
Women, no matter what age they are, always like to be called younger.
In later generations, it's not uncommon for people in their fifties or sixties to refuse to pay when addressed as "Auntie," feeling insulted.
When Gu Yunyang addressed him that way, Gu Hanping and Old Zheng both looked constipated.
I want to laugh, but I don't dare to.
Gu Yunyang took out the letter of introduction and said, "Our commune's supply and marketing cooperative was robbed, and we have nothing to sell."
But we definitely need our daily necessities, so we came to the city today to buy everything our entire brigade needs.
"Ladies, look, we've made lists for everything."
As he spoke, Gu Yunyang took out the list and showed it to the older women.
They took another handful of candy and gave each of them a little.
The women quickly collected the items, their movements so swift that even those nearby didn't see them clearly.
Then he left with a smile.
Gu Hanping then said with a strange expression, "Big sister?"
Gu Yunyang chuckled: "Women always prefer someone younger. I was just worried they'd think I was calling myself too old. Anyway, it's all resolved now."
Gu Hanping didn't dwell on it. The group went inside, took turns eating, and then planned to go back.
