"Right; speaking of keeping a low profile, Chengrui gave us an idea." At this point, Gu Chengye told them how Gu Chengrui was planning to falsify the number of potatoes he was buying from them.
"This is a good idea. These 3,000 pounds of potatoes will be our family's lifesaving food if this drought continues." Father Gu nodded in agreement.
"What do you think, brother?" he asked Second Uncle Gu.
"That's a good idea. Let's quickly preserve these white sweet potatoes, so they don't have to be frozen and unfrozen repeatedly." Second Uncle Gu nodded.
On the other hand, Gu Chengrui went to the patriarch's house to borrow an ox cart after his brothers left.
The next morning, before the sun rose, he took a horse carriage and an ox cart to pull two full carts of white sweet potatoes. He went to Gu Chengye and asked him to follow him to his clinic in town.
Gu Chengye also took a cart full of white potatoes, gathering 2,000 pounds in total.
