I spent money to buy two geese.
Gu Yunyang continued to wander around and found that there were quite a lot of things here.
It not only has all kinds of food, but also jam bread and malted milk powder, as well as milk powder, though in small quantities.
In terms of other uses, it has everything you need for daily life.
This includes bar soap, soap, and even shampoo.
These days, everyone probably uses one bar of soap to take a bath and wash clothes.
There are probably not many people who can afford shampoo and are willing to use it.
There's a wide variety of things here, including grains and other grains.
Gu Yunyang sighed inwardly, "It's alright now, but after a while, there probably won't be many left. Or, the price will be very high."
Gu Yunyang encountered another rice seller and immediately asked, "How much is your rice?"
He examined the rice and decided it wasn't of very good quality.
There was a lot of rice bran inside, and some small stones were mixed in as well.
The rice wasn't white enough; it even had a yellowish tinge.
This is because the rice milling technology at that time was not advanced, and the rice still contained some pigment from the outer husk of the rice, thus giving it a yellow color.
Later, rice that underwent refined processing appeared whiter because the pigment from the outer husk was removed.
However, Gu Yunyang remembered that some rice varieties in later generations contained carotene, which gave them a slightly yellow color and higher nutritional value.
But clearly, these are not the ones in front of us.
"Rice is 60 cents a pound, and wheat flour is 80 cents a pound. Do you want some?"
Gu Yunyang was horrified.
This already represents a price increase.
The price at the grain station was 12 cents per pound; that was the price in the capital.
In Guangdong province, where the staple food is rice, the price would be slightly lower.
But that was the price at the grain station, which required grain coupons or rationed grain.
The black market doesn't require food coupons; the price should be two to three times higher.
But here it's increased fivefold.
Gluten flour is even more expensive. The staple food here is not wheat flour, but wheat flour is needed to make pastries.
Generally speaking, the price of flour is slightly higher than that of rice, but not by much.
It's two cents more per pound here.
Seeing Gu Yunyang hesitate, the man added, "These were obtained through special channels. There will be fewer and fewer of them in the future, so buy them as soon as possible if you want."
He said something with lingering enthusiasm.
Gu Yunyang was also taken aback.
Did this person also guess that this natural disaster would last for several years?
That makes sense, given the reduction in quotas in cities.
Gu Yunyang has already bought two geese today; it's not advisable to buy too many now.
He made up an excuse and left.
Why waste money here when you have more and better quality rice in your own farm?
Even the grains seized from the Gu family's property were of better quality than those sold here.
At least, there won't be any pebbles mixed in.
The processing is also more refined.
Gu Yunyang looked around and bought two ducks for three yuan each.
It's not too big, each one weighs about three pounds.
Sure enough, meat prices have gone up.
This is because people in Guangdong Province really like to eat duck, and there are duck farms nearby.
Otherwise, the price would be even higher.
This duck isn't very big; if we raise it a little longer, it can grow to five or six pounds.
There was another stone mill vendor nearby. Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and asked about the price: "How much is your little stone mill?"
Gu Yunyang thought that at this time, it would be very difficult to get a high-speed blender.
He usually drinks yogurt in the morning, and occasionally some plain milk.
I bought a lot of dairy products in the province before, including a good amount of yogurt and pure milk, enough for him to eat for a while.
Moreover, he also bought several dairy cows.
These past few days, Gu Yunyang has seen that the cow has entered the lactation period and will soon be able to produce milk.
They possess the ability to control beasts, which also promotes the mating and reproduction of cows.
This is one of the reasons why Gu Yunyang dared to take on the role of the cowherd for the Red Flag Brigade.
