Zhou Xiuying also thinks that reading more is a good thing. She has read so many books and knows a lot.
It’s all her son’s fault for being so incompetent. The girl lives next door, but he still can’t win her over.
The Party Secretary asked, "Comrade Jiang, is this the only way to consume maltose? Is there any other way?"
Jiang Baige thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is one more thing! The price is a bit high, but if it is made, it will definitely be a bestseller and the demand will definitely exceed the supply."
Chen Defu asked, "What is it like? Please tell me in detail. If it is feasible, we will report it to the higher authorities. If we can apply to build a sugar factory, then our village will become an advanced village."
Chen Defu has even thought about setting up a sugar factory.
Jiang Baige thought of the beef offal candies, peanut candies, sesame candies, etc. that people in later generations ate, all of which were delicious.
She has all these candies in her space, and she should be able to make them just by looking at the ingredient list.
If a candy factory could be built in Chenjia Village, it would be a benefit to them.
So Jiang Baige introduced everything to them in detail.
The uses of maltose and how many types of sugar can be made from it.
She didn't think anything of what she said, but the people who heard it stared at her in amazement, too surprised to speak.
They had never heard of so many varieties of sugar.
Chen Defu asked, "Comrade Jiang, are you telling the truth? There are still some old ways to cook sugar?"
At this moment, he began to feel nervous. If it really failed, many people in their village would not have to work so hard to earn those few work points.
Jiang Baige nodded and replied, "As long as there are enough materials, there will be no problem."
"It's just sugar, peanuts, melon seeds, sesame seeds, etc. Can you get them?"
She does have it in her space, and if she can't get it, she will find a way to help them.
Chen Defu swallowed his words, thinking that he might not be able to get these.
Zhou Xiuying said, "I'm afraid this will be difficult. The land is all used to grow crops. No one grows peanuts, melon seeds, or anything like that here."
Sun Zhaodi also said: "What peanuts and sunflower seeds? I have never seen anyone growing them since I was a child. If I want to eat them, I have to buy them from the commune."
She was telling the truth. No one in their entire county grew this stuff. It was neither edible nor drinkable, so it was better to grow crops to fill their stomachs.
Chen Defu thought for a moment and said, "No rush. Let's talk to the mayor tomorrow and then make a decision."
Zhou Xiuying was afraid that her daughter would hear too much and spread the story, so she asked her to find some children to collect firewood and bring it back to exchange for malt sugar.
Chen Jiaojiao had no objection and left happily.
A few people started discussing what was needed to make sugar. Chen Defu and the others would go to the town tomorrow and bring everything back.
Jiang Baige stayed at Chen's house until midnight and boiled five large pots of malt sugar. In order to get what he wanted to do at the commune tomorrow, Chen Defu prepared a small pot to take to the commune tomorrow.
If you want to negotiate with others, you naturally have to put out bargaining chips to convince them.
The next day was a day of rest, and many people went to the commune to buy daily necessities early in the morning.
Jiang Baige didn't ask Wu Lili whether she would go today. She was going to watch a movie with Chen Jianguo today. If they went, she wouldn't be able to watch the movie.
So she left a little earlier than usual.
She came early today and there were already a few people on the ox cart.
Mrs. Wang was invited to go shopping in the commune with Mrs. Chen. Chen Erlai was getting married, so she had to buy some face-saving things to show to others.
Seeing Jiang Baige coming, Wang Po was quite polite to her. After all, she was the scorekeeper now, so of course she had to give her some face.
"Scorer Jiang, you're going to the commune too!"
Jiang Baige smiled at them and said, "Auntie, are you going to the commune too?"
There wasn't much to talk about between the two parties, so they simply exchanged greetings and there wasn't any awkwardness along the way.
Uncle Chen, the cart driver, said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Jiang has been in our village for almost half a year! This is his first time riding in our ox cart."
Jiang Baige smiled back at him: "Yes! Every time I leave the village, it's unlucky. Today I finally made it."
Uncle Chen said, "Please sit for a while. We are waiting for two people. We will leave later."
After a while, two more people arrived and the carriage finally set off.
When they arrived in the town, it was not yet eight o'clock, and Jiang Baige strolled to the Armed Forces Department.
Chen Jianguo told her to come here to find him when she came, and she guessed that Chen Jianguo should be waiting for her now.
The gate of the Armed Forces Department was open. Jiang Baige entered the yard. It was very quiet and there was no one there. She didn't feel comfortable looking for anyone.
Not seeing Chen Jianguo, she sat on the platform under the big tree.
I was a little angry and asked her to come over, but there was no sign of Chen Jianguo.
Chen Jianguo went to Qinghe Brigade to catch a thief last night and didn't come back until almost dawn.
After a nap, when I opened my eyes, it was already bright outside.
I looked at the bedside clock and it was already half past eight, so I jumped up with a start.
How could he sleep so soundly that he didn't even notice the dawn?
He was afraid that he would not have enough time, so he prepared to wash up naked.
He was shirtless, with only a pair of shorts on his lower body, and he opened the door and came out.
At the same time, he held a basin of water in his hand and brushed his teeth as he walked.
Their dormitory was right in the yard of the Armed Forces Department. Whenever someone had something to do, they could hear it immediately as long as they knocked on the door.
As soon as I went out, I saw Jiang Baige sitting in the yard.
Jiang Baige didn't expect to see such a beautiful scenery so early in the morning.
Chen Jianguo's arms look very powerful at first glance, with bulging biceps and distinct muscles, looking strong and powerful.
His eight abdominal muscles are also quite obvious. Looking down, the big shorts he is wearing don't match him at all.
He was wearing shorts made of floral cloth, which seemed to be made of the inferior cloth that Jiang Baige bought.
When she was giving the cloth to Zhou Xiuying, she thought there would be places where the threads would get pulled out, so she pulled two feet more.
Chen Jiaojiao and her mother had already worn the new clothes they made a few days ago, so these shorts should be made of the leftover cloth.
Jiang Baige didn't expect that Chen Jianguo's hair was so lush. Her eyes widened, she coughed lightly, and looked away uncomfortably.
When Chen Jianguo saw Jiang Baige looking at him, he also looked down at his naked body. His face suddenly flushed and he ran back to the house with a toothbrush in his mouth.
After entering the door, he said to Jiang Baige: "Baige, wait for me for a moment, I will be out soon."
Jiang Baige looked at him and tried hard not to laugh.
He replied, "Well, you're busy."
After seeing Chen Jianguo close the door, she finally couldn't help but cover her face and laugh.
Although she tried her best to control her laughter, it still reached Chen Jianguo's ears.
Chen Jianguo was looking for clothes when he heard Jiang Baige's low laughter outside the door.
He gritted his teeth and cursed Erzhu inwardly. That kid went out without even waking him up, and even left the door open and ran away.
I thought to myself, "Wait until he comes back and I'll take care of him."
