"There is no way. Growers have suffered serious losses now and must make up for it from other places. Supermarkets have also raised prices. Fruits and vegetables in major supermarkets are now twice as expensive as usual."
Gou Dazhi shook his head and directed the workers to carry fruits and vegetables.
"The government is also aware of this situation, so it probably won't make things too difficult for these supermarkets. After all, supermarkets can be opened, so how can there be no one in the government?"
Hao Ren watched the workers carrying the vegetables and fruits in. The quality had not changed much, and it seemed that they had indeed been carefully selected.
After settling the bill, Hao Ren watched Gou Dazhi leave. He sat in the shop and thought carefully about what he just said. He even checked online. Sure enough, it was similar to what Gou Dazhi said. Many growers suffered heavy losses, resulting in
Prices of vegetables and fruits have increased.
"You guys watch in the store, I'll go out for a walk."
Hao Ren said hello to Xu Yujia and the others, then left the store and came to Wansheng Mall. On the first floor below was the supermarket, Runjing Supermarket, one of the largest supermarkets in the country.
Hao Ren went to the fruit and vegetable section and took a look and found that the quality problem was not very serious. Although it was a little worse than usual, it would not make people find too many faults. The price was also a little more expensive than usual, not much, that is.
One or two percent.
There were a lot of people buying, and almost everyone was rushing to buy. The items were sold out as soon as they were put out.
Hao Ren went to several other large national supermarket chains, such as Liqun and Watson, and there were some problems, but they were not major.
However, local supermarkets such as Hengtian and Longzhong, which only affect their own city, have a big problem.
Not only are the prices of vegetables more than twice as expensive as usual, but the quality is horribly poor. Some of the roots of the vegetables have turned black and some of the leaves are rotten.
Many fruits are soft and obviously soaked in water, like strawberries, which are soaked and turned white, and are still packed in boxes.
Hao Ren shook his head when he saw it. This is treating consumers as two hundred and fifty.
Few people come to buy, and even some old customers will not come to buy vegetables and fruits of this quality.
Hao Ren looked around and then returned to the store. He didn't have to worry about the sales of the fruits and vegetables in his store. They were sold out not long after they were put on display. This didn't count online. He called Gou Dazhi again.
, start ordering.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Ren's cell phone rang, and when he saw it, it was Jiang Guohua's call.
"Uncle Jiang, what's the matter?"
Hao Ren was a little surprised and said in a respectful tone.
This must be the first time Jiang Guohua called himself. At that time, he went to Jiang Guohua's home as a guest. Although he left a contact information, he did not expect the other party to call him. As the deputy mayor of Liuzhou City, he had to deal with everything every day.
Pretty much the same.
"Well, didn't I tell you before that there will be a retailer conference in Liuzhou City after the Chinese New Year? You can come to my house for dinner tonight and I will tell you in detail."
Jiang Guohua's steady voice came, and Hao Ren instantly remembered what Jiang Guohua said last time and couldn't help but slap his head. He had been so busy during this period that he had almost forgotten it.
"Okay, Uncle Jiang, I'll be there in the afternoon."
Hao Ren responded quickly and hung up the phone. Hao Ren was thinking about what gift he should get.
Jiang Guohua's status was special, so it would definitely not be appropriate to give him something too expensive, but a gift that was too light was even more inappropriate for someone who was trying his best to help him.
After thinking for a long time, Hao Ren took a look at the fruits and vegetables in his shop and sighed, "It's up to you. Let's eat together. It's respectable. Uncle Jiang will definitely not refuse them."
Xu Yujia asked Xu Yujia to pick some vegetables and fruits, packed a big box, and picked up some condiments, snacks and other products.
After putting the things into the box, Hao Ren thought for a moment and called Chen Yao again to ask her to come with him. In this way, Wang Yue could also chat with Chen Yao, and Jiang Tong, a little girl, could also play with Chen Yao.
.
Thinking of Jiang Tong, Hao Ren glanced at Lele who was watching TV and added it.
Chen Yao was a little surprised when she learned that she was going to the deputy mayor's house as a guest, but she agreed and immediately started to dress up.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Ren went to Chen Yao's home and picked her up. Chen Yao's outfit today made Hao Ren's eyes light up. She was wearing a pink coat and a white turtleneck sweater.
, revealing a slender white neck, underneath a pair of blue jeans.
A little matte red lipstick was applied to her lips, and two drop-shaped pendants were hung on her earlobes.
Her facial features were perfect, and her every frown and smile were so moving that Hao Ren was stunned.
Seeing Hao Ren in a daze, Chen Yao felt a little satisfied, and then got in the car and followed Hao Ren to Jiang Guohua's home.
As soon as he knocked on the door, Hao Ren heard the sound of a quick trot. With a "bang", the door opened, and Jiang Tong looked at Hao Ren with excitement.
"Brother Hao Ren."
Hao Ren showed a bright smile and was about to give her a warm hug. Who knows, Jiang Tong looked directly at Lele on the ground, hugged Lele, and walked back.
Hao Ren: "..."
Is this why people take tea to cool down?
No, like the new and hate the old?
Chen Yao covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Xiaoren is here, come in quickly, there are slippers at the door, this is..."
Wang Yue also heard the noise and walked towards the door. When she saw Hao Ren, a smile appeared on her face. Before she finished speaking, she saw Chen Yao and spoke in surprise.
"Hello, Sister Wang. My name is Chen Yao. I'm Hao Ren's girlfriend. It's my first time to come to my house. I didn't bring any gifts. It's just a little care of me."
Chen Yao spoke politely, holding a box of cosmetics in her hand.
Hearing this, Wang Yue reacted with a smile on her face, "It turns out to be Hao Ren's girlfriend. Why is she so beautiful? Come on, come in quickly. Oh, what gift are you buying? You're not an outsider."
Hao Ren brought in a box of fruits and vegetables. Wang Yue was dumbfounded and asked Hao Ren what he had brought.
"Some fruits and vegetables, we eat together, these are not banknotes."
Hao Ren said with a smile.
Opening the box, Wang Yue saw that it was indeed full of vegetables and fruits, mixed with some snacks and condiments.
However, she also knew the prices of items in Hao Ren's supermarket, which were estimated to be tens of thousands in total.
But Hao Ren also said it first, this was to be eaten together, not given to them individually.
Therefore, Wang Yue rolled her eyes at Hao Ren and helplessly took out the vegetables and fruits and washed them.
Jiang Guohua was in the study room and heard the noise outside. He walked out and saw Chen Yao and Hao Ren.
"Uncle Jiang, this is Chen Yao, my girlfriend."
Hao Ren saw Jiang Guohua and introduced him with a smile.
Chen Yao also quickly said hello, "Hello, Uncle Jiang."
A smile appeared on Jiang Guohua's face, and he nodded with a smile, "Xiao Ren has a really good eye for choosing girlfriends."
Sitting down on the sofa, Hao Ren looked at the teapot on the coffee table. It was new tea and it was still steaming. He took out three cups and poured it for Jiang Guohua.
"I'll go help Sister Wang, and you guys can chat."
Chen Yao also took the initiative to get up and help Wang Yue cook.
"Oh, no, you can just go and chat. I don't need your help with this little thing."
"Sister Wang, I often cook at home, and my cooking skills are no worse than yours."
"Really, I didn't realize that Yaoyao you are still a clever girl, haha..."
The two gradually started chatting in the kitchen.
Jiang Tong hugged Lele and rolled around in his small tent, having a great time.
Hao Ren looked at Jiang Guohua and asked with a smile, "Is Uncle Jiang very busy recently?"
"It's not bad. There's no one in the government who isn't busy. Especially recently, the city's greenhouse growers have suffered serious losses due to heavy rains. We are now trying to find a solution. We cannot let the growers bear the responsibility themselves."
Jiang Guohua sighed and said helplessly, as the deputy mayor, he has great power and is the immediate boss of many departments, including agriculture.
"Well, I've heard about it too, and now many supermarkets are selling substandard goods and raising prices, seriously disrupting the market order."
"In those big supermarkets, vegetables and fruits are often sold out as soon as they appear."
Hearing this, Jiang Guohua nodded, "I also know these things. The supply of fruits and vegetables is tight now, and there is nothing we can do about it. If the control is stricter, it is estimated that the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket will not be allowed to enter."
"Uncle Jiang, I don't think so. No matter how serious the situation is, can it be more important than the bodies of ordinary citizens? Vegetables and fruits are for people to eat. The behavior of those supermarkets is obviously making fun of people's bodies and breaking the law."
Hao Ren had different opinions. Although the other party was the deputy mayor, it did not mean that he was right in everything.
When Jiang Guohua heard this, he raised his eyebrows, looked at him with a smile, and motioned for him to continue.
"The government should tighten controls and resolutely crack down on supermarkets selling inferior goods, so that everyone can understand that even if the people have nothing to eat, they will not provide inferior goods, and they will not allow inferior goods to flow into the Liuzhou market!"
Hao Ren continued to add with a serious expression.
"If we don't do this, these supermarkets will think that the government's bottom line is very low. Even after this period of time has passed, they will involuntarily lower their selection standards for products."
"This will form a vicious cycle..."
In the kitchen, although Wang Yue and Chen Yao were cooking, they could still hear the two chatting. They looked at each other and laughed.
Jiang Guohua picked up the tea cup, took a sip, waited for Hao Ren to finish, and asked with a smile, "Then if it were you, how would you solve the current problem?"
"As soon as it is convenient, I will increase the quality inspection of products in major supermarkets to ensure that people can eat safe and clean vegetables and fruits."
"On the other hand, some vegetables and fruits can be mobilized from other places to supplement Liuzhou City's supply."
"Of course, the most important thing is the growers. Their losses are the most serious. The government's financial resources are limited. It is probably unrealistic to make up for them all. However, I do have an immature idea."
Hao Ren spoke with some embarrassment.
Jiang Guohua's eyes flashed. Team member Hao Ren said the first two words without comment, but he was interested in his immature idea. "It's okay, just say it."
"I think the government may take the lead and call on major supermarkets in the city to make donations. After all, vegetables and fruits are supplied to major supermarkets. Now that growers have suffered losses, we supermarkets should also assume certain social responsibilities."
Hao Ren said slowly, looking into Jiang Guohua's eyes as he spoke.
However, Jiang Guohua's eyes did not change at all, and he frowned, "Your method is good, but do you think these supermarkets will agree to donate? Now they have lost a lot of money."
