Chapter 75 Price Difference
Aunt Liu has now regained some of her sanity, but only a little.

Seeing that the brigade cadres were all at the scene, he immediately complained: "Captain, look at how badly Gu Laosan's wife beat me. You can't just cover up and condone her just because she is your relative."

Aunt Liu is still very proud of her current level of literacy in speaking, although she still can't recognize a few big characters.

But after all, I had attended the village literacy class with the children, so I could occasionally speak a few literary words.

Aunt Liu, who was so proud of herself for a moment, completely forgot that at the beginning, she was the one who ran to the brigade headquarters to find trouble.

Moreover, the captain and his men were present at the scene from beginning to end.

In other words, everyone actually saw that it was Aunt Liu who first spoke ill of Gu Wan, and Qiao Yuemei became angry that her daughter was slandered, which led to her outburst.

Moreover, the meaning implied in Aunt Liu's words offended Gu Baoguo.

Gu Baoguo looked at him with a sharp look in his eyes: "What a shame! You were the one who cursed and asked for a fight first. You still want that temporary job. Don't forget, that job was hired by Gu Wan."

With just one sentence, he grabbed Aunt Liu's neck, making her mute all of a sudden.

If everyone thinks that they can achieve their goals by making a fuss at the brigade headquarters, how can they carry out their work in the brigade in the future?

Gu Baoguo, the captain of the Red Flag Brigade, who was always good-tempered and tolerant towards the people in the production team, was really furious this time and planned to use Aunt Liu as an example to scare the dogs.

"How old is your sixth daughter? Why should she take this job? Besides, how did Gu Wan offend you? She was able to become a chef because her cooking skills were good and the commune leaders valued her. It was also thanks to Gu Wan that the commune gave us two temporary jobs."

"Don't you think about how many production teams there are under Yongfeng Commune? What advantages does our Hongqi Brigade have compared with other production teams?"

"Before Gu Wan came, how many people in the production team could do the job, let alone regular work? His cooking skills are so good, but you guys don't learn from him, but instead gossip about him behind his back. What's the point?"

These words were not just directed at Aunt Liu. Many people in the production team said bad things about Gu Wan and the old Gu family behind their backs, and the team leader knew about it as well.

Just this time, he just put the matter out in the open.

Gu Wan is a capable girl. Now the third son of Gu family has been recognized by the commune leaders. Who knows how great the Gu family will be in the future.

The team leader also hopes that they can take the lead in the future and improve the lives of everyone in the Red Flag Brigade.

As a result, some people were still whispering behind her back, saying bad things about Gu Wan all day long, because they were jealous of her having a job.

But don't think about it. He is a talented person. The team leader knows that Chef Li from the commune canteen admires Gu Wan's cooking skills.

Taking the opportunity, the team leader scolded some bored people who were watching, and told them that if they were so idle and looked for trouble again next time, their work points would be deducted.

The captain still has a lot of authority in the Red Flag Brigade, especially his words "deduct work points" which have a decisive effect on most people's lives.

In the end, Aunt Liu didn't gain any advantage. She was beaten up and had to leave in shame.

However, because of this incident, the team leader suggested that the temporary worker's quota be retained for the time being.

If we go to Zhang Laosi's house right now and Aunt Liu makes trouble again, Zhao Yujing will be the one who suffers.

Gu Wan thought so too. Anyway, she was now familiar with the small kitchen, so it was okay to let her second aunt go alone to help her tomorrow.

Putting aside these unhappy things, after returning home, Gu Wan heard a piece of good news. In the past few days, Gu Zhiqiang had been leading the Gu brothers and other strong men in the village to wander around the back mountain, and they really found some good things.

As for those wild beasts, it depends on luck to encounter a wild boar, and it is also because there is strength in numbers that you can defeat it.

In fact, the wild boar provided meat for the whole village to eat, and everyone was happy. However, after Gu Zhiqiang consulted Qi Bin, he discovered something shocking.

Game meat is actually similar to dry goods. You can collect some, package them together, and send them to big cities to exchange them for supplies needed in the countryside.

But now Gu Zhiqiang was even happier because he had discovered a large area of ​​wild medicinal herbs deep in the back mountains.

What surprised him most was that there were several ginseng plants among them, and they seemed to be of quite a good age.

"From what I've observed, those ginseng plants are at least eighty years old, if not a hundred."

Even though he didn't understand pharmacology, he knew that the older the ginseng and the better it was preserved, the more valuable it was.

As a result, when people in the room heard Gu Zhiqiang's words, no one really believed it.

The captain was especially suspicious. He asked, "Are you sure it's ginseng? And how do you know how to identify the year of ginseng?"

Did you mistake the radish for ginseng?

The captain was complaining in his heart. He had a lot of busy work today, and Aunt Liu made him in a bad mood.

He might have to light a kerosene lamp and go to the brigade headquarters after dinner. Who told him that he hadn't finished his work today?
As a result, he was invited over by Gu Laosan just after he went out. The captain felt that if the matter was not finalized, it would be a waste of his time.

Gu Zhiqiang was unconvinced and said with certainty: "I am not mistaken. The rhizome and flower of the ginseng are exactly the same as what I saw in the book."

After hearing this, the captain started to take it seriously and thought that maybe the brat was right?
You should know that the Gu family is most famous for one thing in the Red Flag Brigade. Although there are many children in the family, their life is not very good.

However, Gu Mingfeng and Shi Guixiang were both competitive people throughout their lives. Except for a few who did not want to study, their sons and grandsons basically graduated from junior high school.

It is said that when he was studying, Gu Zhiqiang had the best academic performance among the three brothers. If his family could not afford it, he might have continued his studies.

The captain nodded. It seemed that Gu Zhiqiang was a good guy with brains.

As a result, before he began to feel relieved, Gu Lao San frowned.

"But I found a strange phenomenon."

Sure enough, there are not many things in this world that can be accomplished just by thinking about them.

The captain took a deep breath before asking, "What's the matter?"

"It is said that this ginseng has miraculous effects. It can usually only be bought at hospitals or pharmacies. It was very expensive when we went to buy it. But the kid from the Qi family asked someone to ask at the county hospital and pharmacies for me. They also accept medicinal materials, but the price they offered is very low."

The profit difference between the two was so big that it made Gu Zhiqiang heartbroken.
