Yang Tiansheng looked embarrassed.

The military and political commanders of the independent battalion have completely opposite opinions, and as subordinates, they can't listen to anyone, so they can only choose to remain silent and not speak.

Li Hao explained: "Instructor, the expansion of the pig farm does not necessarily have to expand consumption! ”

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

"We took out a fat pig and sent it to the market to sell, which was almost ten yuan in exchange for ten oceans. If you use all those oceans to buy miscellaneous grains, you can buy seven or eight thousand catties, or even tens of thousands of catties! ”

"At that time, the pig farm will not only not need to increase investment, but will be self-sufficient just from the income from selling pigs!"

"If we can expand the scale to 5,000 chickens, we will be able to lay at least 2,000 eggs a day after three months!"

"We have 1,500 people in our independent battalion, and on average, one person has at least 500 eggs left a day. We sold it and replaced it with cereals, so that the chicken farm could be self-sufficient! ”

"Really!" Yang Tiansheng was the first to react!

"Now the price of meat is very expensive, eggs are also expensive, but the grains are very cheap, a 200-kilogram fat pig will definitely be able to exchange for tens of thousands of pounds of grains, enough for the pig farm to eat for several days. If the scale continues to expand, it can also be sold to bring a lot of economic benefits to the pig farm! ”

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

A kilometre away sweet potato flour factory has already started production.

The sweet potato flour boiled in boiling water is hanging in the sun and dehydrated, and a lot of sweet potato flour has been completely dried, and two workers are cutting and bagging it......

In a few small but interconnected houses, dozens of workers are busy in an orderly manner.

Grinding sweet potatoes, filtering residues, precipitating ......

As soon as he walked to the door, Huang Shuyun, the factory director, rushed over.

"Good battalion commander, good instructor ......" Huang Shuyun, whose right leg was not very convenient, hurriedly saluted and reported.

Li Hao decisively ordered: "Let's make a long story short, you can directly introduce to me the current scale and output of the sweet potato flour factory, and if there are any problems that need to be solved, say them all, don't hide it!" ”

"Yes! Battalion commander! Huang Shuyun replied immediately.

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

"The warehouse is limited, if you can't sell it as soon as possible, there will be no place to pile up the reproduced sweet potatoes!"

"There are no other problems, we want mountains and mountains here, we want water and water, and we don't lack anything!"

Li Hao thought for a while and made a decision: "I'll find a way for you to sell, what you need to do is to continue to expand production!" The daily output should reach at least two thousand catties! ”

"In addition, you will definitely produce a lot of residues when you make sweet potato flour, don't waste it, send it all to the pig farm and chicken farm, and those residues are best used to feed the pigs!"

"Please rest assured that the battalion commander will complete the mission!" Huang Shuyun assured with a confident face.

At the headquarters of the independent battalion, Wang Hong was in trouble as soon as he saw the two thousand catties of sweet potato flour that the soldiers were carrying.

When the Red Army passed through Guizhou and Sichuan, everyone had eaten sweet potato flour, which tasted very good and filled their stomachs, which could be used as both vegetables and food.

But this is the north, and although sweet potatoes are also grown, almost no one eats them as sweet potato flour.

It can be said that sweet potato flour has never been seen by many people in the north, let alone let them pay to buy it as food!

Li Hao's face was relaxed, and he was not in a hurry 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 of five catties of sweet potato flour is about one and a half catties 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 replied: "One pound of rice for two pounds of sweet potato flour, then we don't want to earn at least two catties of rice by selling ten catties of sweet potato flour, if we sell all two thousand catties of sweet potato flour, it will be four hundred catties of rice, almost eight oceans, this is simply a huge profit!" ”

Li Hao nodded in affirmation: "It is indeed a huge profit!" ”

"In the future, the yield of sweet potato flour will be further increased, and the cost will continue to decrease. If you can have 2,000 catties of sweet potato flour around you a day, the net profit of a day will be ten oceans, 300 oceans a month, and nearly 4,000 oceans a year! ”

"There are tens of thousands of people in Lingqiu County, as long as they are recognized by the people, two thousand catties of sweet potato flour a day can be consumed casually!"

The smile on Wang Hong's face disappeared, and he replied with a frown: "The question is here!" ”

"Many people have never seen sweet potato flour, how can they recognize this kind of thing, and they have to buy it back as food!"

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

"The first step, let's eat it ourselves first and see how the fighters react!"

"The soldiers are basically locals, as long as they like it, the common people will definitely like it too!"

"Tell the cooking squad that the battalion headquarters and the guard company will eat pork stewed vermicelli tonight, and the pork doesn't need too much, as long as there is oil and water!"

The guard company was stationed, and each soldier carried an aluminum lunch box of captured devils in his hand.

There is white rice underneath, and two large spoons of pork stewed vermicelli are poured on top, and a large bowl is filled.

Many of the fighters are eating sweet potato flour for the first time, which is very novel. But as soon as they ate it in their mouths, they fell in love with the food.

"Squad leader, what kind of dish is this? Slippery and delicious! One of the fighters couldn't help but ask.

The squad leader thought for a while and replied: "The cooking class said that it was sweet potato flour, and the battalion commander asked the logistics department to make it with sweet potatoes, and it took several catties of sweet potatoes to make a pound of vermicelli, and stew it with pork and cabbage, which was delicious and hungry!" ”

"It's delicious, I've only eaten half a bowl before I feel full!" The warrior touched his round belly and said.

"In the past, I had to add food once to be full, but today I can eat without adding food, this is really a good thing, the battalion commander is so powerful, such a good thing can be made!"

"Sweet potato flour is indeed a good thing!" Li Hao, who happened to walk to the side, said.

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

"It's dinner time, let's all squat down and continue to eat, I'll come and see how everyone's food is!" Li Hao waved his hand and ordered.

Then he squatted down together, stared at the soldier who had just spoken, and asked, "Little comrade, you are a local, right?" ”

"Yes, battalion commander...... Zhouzhuang not far from here! The warrior replied with a nervous expression.

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

"You just said that sweet potato flour is delicious and hungry, do you think your family will like it?"

"Definitely!" The warrior replied without thinking.

After hesitating, his face became solemn: "Although the Eighth Route Army has distributed grain and land to us, there is no autumn harvest yet, in order not to be hungry, fine grains can only be eaten once a few days, improve the food, and eat miscellaneous grains most of the time!" ”

"Sweet potato flour tastes so much better than those coarse grains, and they're hungry, they definitely like it!"

"I just don't know if it's expensive!"

"It's not expensive!" Li Hao affirmed.

"You can buy two catties of dry sweet potato flour for one pound of fine grain, and if you soak in water, two pounds of dry sweet potato flour can be soaked into at least five catties, which is equivalent to one pound of fine grain for five catties of sweet potato flour!"

"Then they'll definitely buy it!" The warrior replied with excitement on his face.

Although they are in the army, they still hope that their families will have 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 catties of fine grains for four catties of dry sweet potato flour, and then ten catties of coarse grains for two catties of dry sweet potato flour, and twelve catties of grain for six catties of dry sweet potato flour at a time, and after soaking, it would be fifteen catties of sweet potato flour." lost 12 catties of grain, and finally earned 3 catties. ”

"What's more, sweet potato flour tastes several times better than multigrains, and can be eaten as both rice and vegetables!"

"We usually eat millet porridge and coarse grain cakes in the morning, and with sweet potato flour, we can cook sweet potato flour in the morning!"

Although the soldier didn't know too much to fight back, he knew the least addition and subtraction, and his eyes lit up and shouted: "It's true, not only does this exchange increase the grain, but the taste of the grain is better than that of coarse grain!" ”
