Chapter 407 Sweet Potato Vermicelli
Regardless of the internal discord within Fengxian No. 1 Middle School, Fengxian No. 2 Middle School has already begun to convene all teachers and students to hold a meeting on the playground, with the aim of encouraging these students to learn from Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen.
Tan Chen also took this opportunity to hand over the political notes compiled by his daughter-in-law to Principal Sun, and also gave him a set of physics and chemistry study notes.
Principal Sun has already witnessed the exquisiteness of Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen's new mathematical method. Otherwise, based on Fengxian No. 2 Middle School's previous performance, it would have been impossible to get so many scores above 300.
He was really grateful to Tan Chen and thanked him in front of all the teachers and students in the school.
Xiangnan looked at the study notes in Principal Sun's hand with envy.
He didn't know that Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen's actions were purely selfless. He just thought that they were doing it to defeat Fengxian No. 1 Middle School and vent their anger.
Therefore, even though he wanted to share these notes with all the high schools in Feng County, he was too embarrassed to say it.
I can only watch Fengxian No. 2 Middle School become beautiful alone.
Xiangnan could already foresee that Fengxian County’s key high school would be replaced soon, from No. 1 Middle School to No. 2 Middle School.
After the mock exam, the topic gradually faded as the students became more focused on reviewing.
The same goes for Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen. Although they did well in the mock exam, they did not dare to be arrogant. After all, scores are the only thing that matters in the college entrance examination. Even if they improve by one point, the results may be different.
Old Mrs. Shang and others also strongly support the two of them in their studies. At the same time, they are also worried about Shang Ruoting's health. After all, her belly is getting bigger day by day. Although the doctor said everything is normal after going to the hospital for a check-up, no one dares to be careless.
Just when Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were busy reviewing, Aunt Chen Si came to their house and brought a large basket of sweet potatoes.
"Ruoting, I know you and Tan Chen have been busy reviewing recently, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
Aunt Chen Si said, pushing the sweet potato basket in her hand forward: "Aunt listened to you and planted a few acres of sweet potatoes in the wasteland. The yield is quite high."
"I baked a few yesterday. They were super sweet, so I thought I'd send some to you guys to try."
In Aunt Chen Si's mind, growing so many sweet potatoes on the wasteland was pure luck. She planned to take them to the market to exchange for some money in the spring, so she couldn't bear to eat them and stored them all in the cellar.
If it weren't for her little grandson who was clamoring for candy yesterday and there was no more candy at home, Aunt Chen would have taken out a few sweet potatoes and roasted them in the stove in order to appease her little grandson.
Unexpectedly, the sweet potatoes grown in her own home were so sweet. She tasted them when they were just dug out, but they were not as delicious as those that had been left for a while.
If Aunt Chen Si hadn't come to give her sweet potatoes today, Shang Ruoting would have forgotten that she had asked them to plant sweet potatoes.
"Auntie, what are you going to do with your sweet potatoes?"
Aunt Chen Si did not hide anything and told her plan.
Although Shang Ruoting has been here for more than a year, she is still not very clear about the prices of many things.
So she asked, "Auntie, how much is a pound of sweet potatoes at the market?"
Aunt Chen Si thought for a moment and replied, "I saw someone selling it at the market last year. It was 5 cents a pound."
Shang Ruoting understood.
She began to calculate quickly in her mind. She had seen the price of sweet potato flour at the supply and marketing cooperative, which was 60 cents per pound, equivalent to the price of a pound of pork.
Normally, one pound of starch from sweet potatoes can be ground into 8-9 taels of sweet potato vermicelli.
The reason why sweet potato vermicelli is so expensive is that not many people grew sweet potatoes in that era, and no coupons were required to buy sweet potato vermicelli.
If there are few people in your family, buying a pound of dry sweet potato flour can be used to cook two or three dishes, which is very cost-effective.
"Auntie, you should know how to make vermicelli, right?"
When Aunt Chen Si heard Shang Ruoting ask this, she thought she wanted to eat vermicelli. After all, pregnant women have stronger appetites.
"Ruoting, do you want to eat vermicelli? Auntie can make vermicelli. I'll make some for you when I get home."
Shang Ruoting saw that Aunt Chen Si had misunderstood her meaning, so she quickly waved her hand and explained, "Aunt, it's not that I want to eat vermicelli, I just remember seeing them selling sweet potato vermicelli at the supply and marketing cooperative. They were sixty cents a pound."
"If you make your sweet potatoes into vermicelli and sell it, you can almost make double the money."
The more Aunt Chen Si listened, the brighter her eyes became. No wonder Ruoting lived such a good life. Look at her intelligence. With just a few words, she doubled the profit from sweet potatoes.
She originally thought that the several thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes harvested by her family could be sold at the market in spring for several hundred yuan.
Now, with Shang Ruoting's reminder, the profit doubled instantly.
