Chapter 380

Yang Tiansheng looked embarrassed.

The military and political leaders of the Independent Battalion had two completely opposite opinions. As a subordinate, I could not listen to anyone and could only choose to remain silent.

Li Hao explained: "Instructor, expanding the size of the pig farm does not necessarily mean increasing consumption!"

"If the size of the pig farm can be expanded to 500 pigs, three big fat pigs can be slaughtered in two days on average!"

"We take a fat pig and sell it to the market, and we can get back almost ten yuan. If we use all those yuan to buy grains, we can buy seven to eight thousand kilograms, or even tens of thousands kilograms!"

"By then, the pig farm will not only not need to increase investment, but will be able to be self-sufficient just from the income from selling pigs!"

"Looking at the chicken farm, if we can expand the scale to 5,000 chickens, we can produce at least 2,000 eggs every day in three months!"

"We only have 1,500 people in our independent operation. On average, one egg per person per day can still leave at least 500 eggs. We sell them and exchange them for grains. Maybe the chicken farm can also be self-sufficient.

!”

"It's true!" Yang Tiansheng was the first to react!

"Meat is very expensive now, eggs are also expensive, and grains are very cheap. A fat pig weighing 200 kilograms can definitely be exchanged for tens of thousands of kilograms of grains, which is enough for the pig farm to feed for several days. If the scale continues to expand, it can still be sold

It will bring considerable economic benefits to the pig farm!"

"Instructor, I think the battalion commander is right, we can continue to expand the scale!"

A sweet potato flour factory one kilometer away has started production.

The sweet potato flour boiled in boiling water is being hung in the sun to be exposed and dehydrated. Many sweet potato flour has been completely dried. Two workers are cutting and bagging...

In several small but interconnected buildings, dozens of workers are busy in an orderly manner.

Grind the sweet potatoes, filter the residue, and settle...

As soon as we reached the door, factory director Huang Shuyun rushed over.

"Hello, battalion commander, hello instructor..." Huang Shuyun, whose right leg was not very convenient, quickly saluted and reported.

Li Hao decisively ordered: "Let's make a long story short. Please tell me directly the current scale and output of the sweet potato flour factory. If there are any problems that need to be solved, tell me them all. Don't hide them!"

"Yes! Battalion Commander!" Huang Shuyun replied immediately.

"We now have 28 workers and can produce nearly 200 kilograms of sweet potato flour every day. Now there are nearly 2,000 kilograms piled in the warehouse. The only problem is how to sell these sweet potato flour!"

"The warehouse is limited. If we can't sell them as soon as possible, there will be no place to pile up the sweet potatoes we produce!"

"There are no other problems. We need mountains and water here. We have no shortage of anything!"

Li Hao thought for a while and then made a decision: "I will find a way for you to sell. All you need to do is to continue to expand production! The daily output must reach at least two thousand kilograms!"

"In addition, when you make sweet potato flour, you will definitely produce a lot of residue. Don't waste it. Send it all to the pig and chicken farms. It's best to use the residue to feed the pigs!"

"Please rest assured, battalion commander, we promise to complete the mission!" Huang Shuyun assured with a confident look.

At the independent battalion headquarters, Wang Hong felt troubled as soon as he saw the two thousand kilograms of sweet potato flour carried back by the soldiers.

When the Red Army passed through Guizhou and Sichuan, everyone had eaten sweet potato flour. It tasted very good and was very filling. It could be used as a vegetable or as food.

But here in the north, although sweet potatoes are also grown, almost no one makes sweet potato powder and eats them.

It can be said that many people in the north have never seen sweet potato flour, let alone asking them to pay for it and eat it as food!

Li Hao's face was relaxed and he was not anxious at all.

"Instructor, have you ever calculated how much it costs us to produce a pound of sweet potato flour?"

"The raw material plus labor cost for five kilograms of sweet potato flour is about one and a half kilograms of rice!" the instructor thought for a moment and answered.

Li Hao quickly made a decision: "Then we will sell it at the price of one pound of rice and two pounds of sweet potato flour!"

Wang Hong's eyes lit up and he answered: "One catty of rice is exchanged for two catties of sweet potato flour. Then if we sell ten catties of sweet potato starch, we have to earn at least two catties of rice. If we sell all two thousand catties of sweet potato starch, it will be four hundred catties of rice."

It’s almost eight yuan, which is a huge profit!”

Li Hao nodded and affirmed: "It is indeed a huge profit!"

"When the output of sweet potato flour further increases in the future, the cost will continue to decrease. If you can get two thousand kilograms of sweet potato flour around you a day, your net profit will be ten yuan a day, three hundred yuan a month, and nearly four thousand yuan a year.

Ocean!"

"There are tens of thousands of people in Lingqiu County. As long as they are recognized by the people, they can easily consume two thousand kilograms of sweet potato flour a day!"

The smile on Wang Hong's face disappeared, and he frowned and replied: "That's the problem!"

"Many ordinary people have never seen sweet potato flour. How can I get them to recognize this kind of thing and buy it as food?"

"I have a way!" Li Hao replied confidently.

"The first step is to eat it ourselves and see how the soldiers react!"

"The soldiers are basically local people. As long as they like it, the people will definitely like it too!"

"Tell the cooking team that tonight the battalion headquarters and the guards will eat pork stewed with vermicelli. We don't need too much pork, as long as there is oil and water!"

At the guard company station, each soldier held an aluminum lunch box from a captured Japanese soldier.

There is white rice on the bottom, and two large spoons of pork stewed vermicelli on top, filling a big bowl.

It was the first time for many soldiers to eat sweet potato flour, which was very novel. But after eating it, they fell in love with this food.

"Squad leader, what kind of dish is this? It's slippery and delicious!" A soldier couldn't help but ask.

The squad leader thought for a while and replied: "The cooking class said it was sweet potato noodles. The battalion commander asked the logistics department to make it with sweet potatoes. It takes several kilograms of sweet potatoes to make one kilogram of noodles. It is stewed with pork and cabbage. It is both delicious and very hungry!"

"It's really delicious. I just ate more than half of the bowl and I feel full!" the soldier said, touching his round belly.

"In the past, I had to refill the meal once to be full, but today I am full without having to refill the meal. This is really a good thing. The battalion commander is so amazing, he can make such good things!"

"Sweet potato flour is indeed a good thing!" Li Hao, who happened to be walking next to him, said.

"Hello, battalion commander!" Several soldiers and cadres did not expect Li Hao to appear here, so they quickly stood up and saluted.

"It's meal time now. Everyone squat down and continue eating. I'll come over to see how everyone's food is!" Li Hao waved his hand and ordered.

Then they squatted down together, stared at the soldier who just spoke, and asked: "Little comrade, are you a local?"

"Yes, battalion commander... Zhouzhuang is not far from here!" the soldier replied nervously.

"Don't be nervous!" Li Hao continued to ask.

"You just said that sweet potato noodles are delicious and very hungry. Do you think your family will like it?"

"Definitely!" the soldier replied without thinking.

After hesitating, his face became solemn: "Although the Eighth Route Army allocated food and land to us, the autumn harvest has not yet happened. In order not to starve, we can only eat one meal of fine grains every few days. We have to improve the food and eat coarse grains most of the time."

!”

"Sweet potato flour tastes much better than those whole grains, and they are very hungry. They will definitely like to eat it!"

“I just don’t know if it’s expensive or not!”

"Not expensive!" Li Hao affirmed.

"You can buy two kilograms of dry sweet potato flour for one kilogram of fine grains. If you soak it in water, two kilograms of dry sweet potato flour can be soaked into at least five kilograms, which is equivalent to one kilogram of fine grains for five kilograms of sweet potato flour!"

"Then they will definitely buy it!" the soldier replied with excitement on his face.

Although they are in the military, they still want their families to live a good life from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Hao analyzed with a serious face: "If I were your parents, I would first exchange two kilograms of fine grains for four kilograms of dry sweet potato flour, then exchange ten kilograms of coarse grains for two kilograms of dry sweet potato flour, and exchange twelve kilograms of grains for six kilograms of dried sweet potato flour at a time.

Sweet potato flour, after soaking, becomes fifteen kilograms of sweet potato flour. I lost twelve kilograms of food and gained three kilograms in the end."

"What's more important is that sweet potato flour tastes several times better than cereals. It can be eaten as both a meal and a vegetable!"

"We usually eat millet porridge and whole grain pancakes in the morning here. With sweet potato flour, we can cook sweet potato flour and eat it in the morning!"

Although the soldier didn't know much about counterattacks, he knew the basics of addition and subtraction. His eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "It's true, this exchange not only increases the food, but the food tastes better than coarse grains!"
