Chapter 344: Food Prices Plummet 2
Food coupons are very useful, but they are not issued to farmers in the countryside. Only urban residents have them and use them to buy food.
Many farmers who went to the city either brought their own dry food or took their food to the grain management office to exchange for food coupons, and then had to use the coupons to go to the city to eat. It was very troublesome, so they all wanted food coupons.
Wanglou Brigade is developing better and better, and food coupons, cloth coupons and other items are definitely in high demand.
Wang Zhengguo has been managing Wanglou Brigade for so many years, and he really doesn't want to see the folks worried about various votes.
"That's great, uncle. I'm looking forward to it! I'll find the tickets right away." Feng Qingxue was overjoyed and took out all the food coupons she had on hand. She counted them and found that there were a total of 235 kilograms of food coupons, both in whole and in small amounts.
One hundred and thirty kilograms of flour coupons and one hundred and five kilograms of coarse grain coupons.
Because it was not a normal transaction allowed by the state, after Wang Zhengguo received the ticket and money, he asked his son to open the granary that night, loaded 150 kilograms of new wheat and 130 kilograms of corn kernels and secretly delivered them to Feng Qingxue's home.
The food coupons were finished grains, but what he gave was raw grain, so the amount was of course more than the face value of the food coupons.
Feng Qingxue asked Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng to send some of it to Lu Jiang's comrades.
The two children went to the black market for a few rounds and brought back a few pieces of jewelry and a porcelain vase, which they gave to Feng Qingxue as if they were offering treasures. "Aunt, do we still have money? Please give us a little more."
Feng Qingxue looked at the white jade bracelet, jade bracelet, jade bracelet and rotating bottle in front of her, "Where did they come from?"
Guan Cheng said proudly, "I bought them! Aunt, let me tell you, the white jade bracelet cost two dollars, the jadeite eighteen beads cost one dollar and eighty cents, and the revolving bottle and the jadeite bracelet only cost five dollars in total. I didn't spend the money that Grandma Xu gave me before, but used it to buy things. Aunt, if our family had money, we would buy these things, and we would definitely not regret it in the future."
Feng Qingxue immediately took out the money that was not used when saving Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu and gave it to them. There was still 170 or 80 yuan left. She carefully reminded them: "Be careful when entering and leaving the black market, and don't get caught by the cadres who are investigating private transactions."
If she hadn't been unable to leave home to give birth to and raise a child, she would have gone to the black market and come back long ago.
"Don't worry, Aunt. We only buy second-hand goods, not food. It doesn't matter if we get caught because we don't trade goods privately." Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun each took half and put the money in their own pockets.
Lu Tianjun nodded in agreement.
Feng Qingxue was a little confused, "They don't ask for food in exchange for their old stuff?"
Guan Cheng looked at her and smiled, "I knew it! I told Tian Jun that our family has enough food, and my uncle's comrades often help us. Aunt must have been to the black market, and it turned out to be just as I expected. Now the people selling second-hand goods in the black market want money instead of food. Now the price of food has fallen. Fine grains are only 70 or 80 cents per pound, and coarse grains are 30 or 50 cents. Of course, it is more cost-effective to sell them for money."
"It should be because of the good harvest this year, the food shortage has been alleviated, and the commercial grain supply is not as tight as before, so the grain price in the black market has plummeted. In the first few years, I heard from my classmates that even grain coupons could be sold for five yuan per kilogram, let alone high-priced grain."
Feng Qingxue was very happy after hearing this, because this situation meant that the three difficult years were over!
In the future, they will just have to spend money to buy things in the black market. Anyway, their family is not short of money, so the food can be left for their own family. Although the famine is over, the country is short of supplies, and food is still very important in many places.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
