Sister Ai opened the mouth of the bag, took out a small amount, and found that the rice was shiny and shiny. It looked like real good rice.
"Wow, this rice is much better than the rice I bought." Sister Jiao shouted.
Others also grabbed a handful of rice, ground it in their palms, and all praised:
“It’s really good rice.”
"This rice is so oily."
“It smells so good.”
"What kind of product is this? Why is it so good?"
Mengyu secretly smiled in her heart: Rice produced in space is naturally good.
But of course she couldn't say it was produced in space. She could only say: "This is rice grown in the mid-mountain area. Because the sunshine is short and the production period is long, it can only be grown for one season. In addition, the soil quality there is good, so the rice grown is of high quality."
It's very good. Now I can smell the aroma of raw rice, and it only smells better when it's cooked." She walked to the kitchen opposite and brought a pot over. When she opened it, the smell of the rice was really great.
Mouthwatering.
Sister Zhao was worried: "Xiaonan, you only sell such good rice for 35 cents per catty, and you only plant it once a year. So don't farmers lose money?"
Everyone knows that slow-growing chicken and duck meat is delicious, and slow-growing rice is delicious, but they are both expensive.
Thirty-five cents per kilogram of these first-season rice is definitely a loss.
Mrs. Wu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "What are you losing? Farmers don't lose."
Mrs. Wu said: "Farmers sell grain to the state for only nine yuan per hundred pounds of millet. Generally, the yield rate of millet is at most 70%. In this way, what they sell to the state is only one pound of rice."
It's three cents. This Xiaonan's rice has been sold for four cents, how can we lose money?"
Mrs. Wu was right. At this time, the grain grown by farmers was sold to the state at a price. Public grain was not counted as money, surplus grain was 9 yuan per 100 jins, and double excess grain was 11 yuan per 100 jins.
From this perspective, farmers cannot lose money by selling rice directly to them.
However, she only talked about it from the perspective of state procurement, but forgot about the price of rice on the market that she saw today.
Sister Ai already disliked Mrs. Wu a little. She couldn't help but refute her words: "Farmers don't necessarily have to sell to you. Sister Jiao just said that the rice she bought costs fifty cents a pound and it's not like this."
Okay. Such good rice can be sold for at least 60 cents per catty at the fair. Now it has only been transferred to us for 35 cents. How can you say that it is not a loss?
Besides, Xiao Nan didn’t grow this rice himself. It was sold to Xiao Nan by someone else. To sell it so cheaply must be a favor from Xiao Nan. When we take rice from Xiao Nan, we use Xiao Nan’s favor.
Also, as Comrade Xiaonan said just now, they are not selling rice, but asking others to buy rice for themselves to eat. They gave it to us because they gave us too much. If you don’t want it, don’t come with us, and don’t talk nonsense.
.”
All the military wives were dissatisfied with what Mrs. Wu said. If Mengyu sells rice, doesn't that mean she sells grain? That would be a mistake.
Mengyu didn't want to pay attention to Mrs. Wu, but asked Sister Ai directly: "Sister Ai, what you want is one hundred catties, right? You brought the bag, do you want to pack it up and carry it back?"
But Sister Ai was worried: "You only have one hundred catties here. Where is Sister Zhao's one hundred catties?"
Mengyu pointed to the east wing: "They are all in the storage room. I will go in and take them out soon. Sister Zhao, will you let your nanny carry them back?"
Sister Zhao quickly said: "It's in the storage room, let's go and carry it ourselves. Hurry up and take the bags to the storage room to pack the wheat and carry it back."
"We will help you carry it out." All the military wives swarmed into the storage room. In fact, they wanted to see how much rice Mengyu had. If there was more, they wanted it too.
As a result, as soon as I entered the storage room, I was stunned.
