Su Ying continued to talk about her plan, "After the first batch of goods is completed, we will send it to the supply and marketing cooperative to test the waters. If the goods are well received, we will establish a long-term cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative."
After listening for a while, Sun Youde had a little bit of an idea. "Following your method is indeed quite simple. Just peeling, cutting into pieces, pickling, and drying are four short steps that can solve the problem of the yellow peaches that are giving me a headache."
"But white sugar is a luxury item, and no one in our Willow Tree Village can afford to buy it during the Spring Festival."
“If this fails, I’m afraid the villagers will have a hard time saying anything, since everyone is struggling.”
Su Ying had already anticipated this outcome. After all, white sugar was the most expensive commodity in that era, and those who weren't wealthy simply couldn't afford it to make dried yellow peaches.
Su Ying looked confident. "I have already considered the issue the brigade leader mentioned, and I also have a general understanding of the actual situation of the villagers in Willow Tree Village."
“Let me start with myself. I’ll be the first to conduct the experiment. Let Comrade Gu and I handle the first batch of goods to be supplied to the supply and marketing cooperative. I came up with the idea, so I should be the one to implement it.”
"Let's make a batch first and test it out at the supply and marketing cooperative. If it sells well, then we can let the villagers follow suit. What do you think of my suggestion, team leader?"
Sun Youde clapped in approval, "As expected of someone from a big city, you're quick-witted and know a lot. You don't hold grudges against us country bumpkins. If I say anything that Su Zhiqing doesn't like to hear, Su Zhiqing, don't take it to heart by this old man."
"Not at all. You're too kind, Captain."
Sun Youde clapped his hands, beaming with joy. The problem that had troubled him for so long had finally been resolved, so how could he not be happy?
"Let's do it your way. If it succeeds, you'll be a great benefactor to our Willow Tree Village."
“Starting tomorrow, you and Comrade Gu will not need to work. I will give you full work points. You two just need to do your best to do what Huang Tao does.”
"If anyone goesssips or feels resentful, let them come to me for an explanation."
"If you don't have enough manpower, just ask. You can ask for anyone you want, or even act first and ask for permission later. The premise is that you must do a good job with the dried yellow peaches. Our Willow Tree Village needs to turn the tide with this."
Sun Youde was already dreaming a wonderful dream: if Huang Tao's project succeeded, even the neighboring village that grows medicinal herbs might not be able to catch up with him.
After all, growing medicinal herbs is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and there are plenty of yellow peaches on the mountain in Liushu Village. If Su Zhiqing's method works, the villagers of Liushu Village should be able to have a prosperous year.
"If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me, and I will do my best to cooperate with you."
"The first batch of dried yellow peaches is considered private property, not public property. If anyone has any objections, let them come to me."
Su Ying nodded, surprised that the captain was quite humane and knew how to get along with people.
"Okay. I'll definitely come to you if I encounter any difficulties."
Su Ying's heart pounded. She should make more dried yellow peaches in the first batch. These were her private property, and her money would have a legitimate source.
"Good, good, good." Sun Youde nodded in satisfaction, muttering to himself.
Who says the capitalist's daughter is useless? She's so outstanding, so incredibly outstanding! Luckily, we took in Su Zhiqing back then, otherwise who would solve such a thorny problem for her now?
We've made a killing! We're raking in the profits! Hahahaha...
Suddenly remembering something, he jumped up and exclaimed, "Oh no! I had Xue Lin lead a team up the mountain to cut down trees today. With so many people cutting down trees, will they cut down all my money trees?"
"We're doomed!" He stared at the two of them anxiously. "You two should figure out how to make dried yellow peaches first. I'll give you the afternoon off to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy white sugar. I have to go up the mountain to save my money tree."
Gu Sinian suddenly shouted at the captain's back, "What about our work points today?"
“Full work points, I’ll record full work points for you. If you need an oxcart to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, just come to my house to borrow one.”
"Okay, Captain, take care."
As Sun Youde's figure receded into the distance, Gu Sinian disregarded everything and pulled him into a tight embrace, but Su Ying reflexively pushed him away.
"You're going to die! If someone sees you, you'll definitely be labeled as having promiscuous relationships. Do you want to be the center of attention in the village?"
Gu Sinian looked at Su Ying with a wronged expression, as if he had done something wrong, "It's not that serious. Everyone is on the mountain and in the fields. Who is here? Except for the brigade leader, but he's already gone, isn't he?"
"Even a hug is not allowed."
Su Ying smiled shyly, glanced around like a thief, pulled the man to the tall straw bushes, and using the straw bushes as cover, Su Ying pulled Gu Sinian into the space.
As soon as the two entered the space, Su Ying seemed like a completely different person, becoming overly enthusiastic, which almost overwhelmed Gu Sinian.
Gu Sinian pinned the man against the wall and kissed him passionately until they were both breathless before reluctantly parting their lips.
Gu Sinian, panting heavily, affectionately pinched Su Ying's nose, "You little devil, you're quite clever. Once you entered this space, you seemed like a completely different person. Before I could even react, you kissed me."
Su Ying said matter-of-factly, "I have no official status outside, so I definitely have to keep my distance from you. I don't want to be pointed at and gossiped about on the street."
"In this space, you are my man. Isn't it normal for us to hug, kiss, and cuddle?"
Su Ying lifted Gu Sinian's chin with her index finger, looking flirtatious and wanton. Gu Sinian couldn't resist such teasing, so he pressed her against the wall and gave her a wall slam. The two of them kissed passionately, oblivious to everyone else.
They only separated reluctantly when they were both struggling to breathe. "Next time you kiss me, could you please not be so rough and forceful? My lips are all swollen from your kiss."
Gu Sinian stared intently at her lips for a long time, looking at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"I can't guarantee that. You're just so alluring; once I start kissing you, I can't stop."
