Secretary Ma sighed and said: "Yes, the disaster this year is really unprecedented. It is said that it is not only the disaster in our area, but also the whole country. I'm afraid there won't be much relief food even if we have it."
.”
Nan Mengyu also sighed: "If this is the case, the food in the grain store must be very expensive, right?"
Party Secretary Ma thought she was going to buy grain, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "As soon as the flood happened, discerning people immediately went to buy grain. At first, the grain was only 90 cents per catty, but as it was sold, the price increased.
It went from one yuan to two yuan. A few days later, it went from two yuan to three yuan or four yuan. The day before yesterday, I went to the county to check and the rice there was already selling for five yuan a pound. Even the sweet potatoes.
It also sold for two yuan a pound. And"
He glanced at Nan Mengyu and said, "Each person should buy no more than five kilograms of fine grains and no more than ten kilograms of coarse grains."
He did not say that the price of food is still rising. Maybe in a while, food worth ten yuan a pound will no longer be sold.
Nan Mengyu pondered for a moment and said: "If you say, I can get food."
Before Nan Mengyu finished speaking, Ma Zhishu grabbed her hand with excitement: "What did you say?"
Nan Mengyu glanced at her arm. Ma Zhishu quickly let go of her hand, but still asked eagerly: "Dr. Nan, I didn't hear what you just said. Please say it again."
He must have heard wrong just now. This girl actually said that she can get food. At this time, food is not so easy to get!
Nan Mengyu smiled and said, "I said, if I can get food, what are you going to do with it?"
Ma Zhishu's heart was beating loudly: He heard it right, this girl said she could get food!
"We will buy according to the market price!" Ma Zhishu said.
However, his heart was bleeding. The market price had reached five yuan per catty, and one hundred catties cost five hundred yuan!
Grain prices have been liberalized for a long time, and they all follow the market trend, but the state also regulates it. For example, when it is cheap, the state will charge it at the normal price, so grain prices will naturally rise, and farmers will not be hurt by low prices.
If it is expensive, sell it at the normal price to stabilize food prices and prevent people from being unable to afford food.
But that was in previous years. Today, with the nationwide disaster, the country's food can only be reserved for disaster relief, and there is not that much food available to stabilize food prices.
Therefore, the market price will naturally rise.
Therefore, even though Nan Mengyu said that he had obtained the food himself, he was still a little worried: the wealth in his village was uneven, and some people could not even afford rice!
However, he heard Nan Mengyu say: "What I took out is the original grain, and I plan to sell it for one yuan a pound." He grabbed Nan Mengyu's hand again: "What did you say?"
Nan Mengyu said nothing and looked at his hands.
He suddenly realized that he was so excited that he grabbed the girl's hand again.
He quickly let go as if he had been burned by a branding iron, his dark face turned red, and he said a little sarcastically: "Uh, I'm sorry, Dr. Nan, I didn't mean to offend you, I just, I just
"I know, you're just too excited."
Seeing that Nan Mengyu was not angry, Party Secretary Ma immediately asked urgently: "Did I hear you right? You just said that your rice only sells for one yuan per catty? But rice sells for five yuan per catty in the market."
Nan Mengyu nodded: "I know, what I sell is not the market price, I just recover the principal. However, I can only limit my purchases."
When Party Secretary Ma heard the word "purchase restriction", he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Five or ten pounds was not enough.
