Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 277 Grain prices start to rise

Luo Xuan saw that Tian Dabang's expression was different.

He asked him again: "Do you know Boss Zhou?"

"Boss Zhou? Yes, yes."

Tian Dapang swallowed hard, "This kid is amazing! He has a great reputation on the construction site.

Regardless of his young age, his mind is very good.When others work, they talk about their wages.

However, he took a dozen people from the earthwork team and contracted a section of earthwork work from the foreman to do it.

Good house fire, the dozen or so people worked day and night, dropped their bowls, didn't even take a break, and ran to the construction site to continue working.

Everyone else has quit work, and they are sitting in the shed chatting, and their dozen hard-boiled guys are still working hard there smashing stones. They are so fucking inhuman! "

Luo Xuan said: "People in Bashu are like this. When they go out to work, they work hard, and when they get home, they eat and play to their heart's content. Then what?"

"The final calculation. The wages of these guys are more than twice as much as ours!"

Speaking of it.

A look of envy and jealousy appeared on Tian Dabang's face.

But suddenly it turned into resentment: "But I heard that the big foreman in charge of the earthwork didn't settle that much money for them in the end.

Damn it!On the construction site, it is really a place that can eat people.With this little hard-earned money, these Huabao Valleys have the heart to embezzle other people's money. They are so ignorant of their conscience, they can really do it with the pork bought by human kneading and the sweet potato wine bought with blood and sweat."

Seeing that Tian Dapang's expression was not right, Luo Xuan asked him coldly: "And then?"

"Then, when the earthwork was about to be completed, the big foreman went to the construction site to check the progress of the project one day. In the end, he accidentally fell into a deep ditch."

Tian Dabang's face was full of fear: "Many people on the construction site are saying that this matter may have something to do with Boss Zhou!"

In the wilderness, there are piles of rocks on the construction site of the culvert.

In addition, in the Qinling Mountains, it is very cold and humid.

If there is an occasional winter rain, a thin layer of ice will form on the stone.

It is necessary to artificially create the illusion that the foreman stumbled and fell off the cliff.

As long as the planning is careful enough and the timing is accurate enough.

Whether you do it mentally or not, you can still do it.

From what I know about Boss Zhou, hehe
Boss Zhou is loyal to righteousness, and if he is calculating people, the method is indeed a bit spicy.

"In the end, when the foreman had an accident, the hundreds of civilians in our earthwork team couldn't do their jobs."

Tian Dabang said, "That's why we were on the construction site, so we were allowed to go home for the New Year. Otherwise, everyone was going to work until the beginning of spring, so that we could earn more money for the family and come back to survive the famine."

"Ugh--"

"When I came back, I went to the frog market by the way, planning to buy some things and have a good year. I never thought about it!"

Tian Dabang spat viciously, "Number! At this time in the past, the eggs, grains, chickens, ducks and geese that are common in the frog market are all gone now!
I finally found someone who sold grain secretly. You know, how much does he sell for a catty of rice now? "

"Brown rice costs 1 yuan and 1 catty."

Luo Xuan said: "The current price of polished rice and first-grade white flour is 1 yuan and 2 catties."

"Correct!"

Tian Dapong suddenly slapped his thigh, "Fuck it! It's a robbery. When there were food stamps, a catty of brown rice was only 1 cents and 7 cents.

Even if you don't have food stamps, if you buy them all at the "black ten price", it's only 3 cents, and the maximum is 3 cents and 3 cents a catty.

I have only been out for a few months?This food price has tripled?
Didn't it mean that each production team has a large canteen, and there is no money for eating?
People in government and urban areas have food from the state, so who is buying the food? "

According to Tian Dabang's understanding: city dwellers have food for residents.

Public servants with latte rice bowls, they have national food.Even if they have a relatively high proportion of coarse grains, it makes people eat less refreshingly.

But anyway, they don't need to go to the market to buy extra food!
Farmers, on the other hand, have large dining halls to eat, so they don't need to go outside to buy grain.

Therefore, what puzzled Tian Dabang was that the price of grain in the frog market had already tripled.

That means that many people come out to buy grain, and there are far more people buying grain than selling grain in the market.

Only in this way, this will cause food prices to rise sharply.

This made Tian Dapang really puzzled: Who are the people who are buying food in a big way?

In fact, in the frog market, there has always been a group of dealers who specialize in making food.

They understand the tightness of food supply earlier and deeper than ordinary people.

And the members of the production team, although they all eat in the canteen.

But up to now, the big cafeteria has been a bit difficult.Moreover, the big pot of rice in the cafeteria can no longer meet the needs of some members with special needs.

Just like that little daughter-in-law who just gave birth to twins.

She still has some supper in the middle of the night, and she needs to eat some high-protein and high-nutrition meals.

But the meals made in the big cafeteria obviously cannot meet the needs of pregnant women.

therefore,

In the frog market, many commune members would go to buy some fine grains and go back with chickens, ducks and geese.

Although there are militia patrols in the production team, the members are not allowed to cook without permission.

But farmers who have never been short of flexibility will sneak into the cave to cook a little meat porridge, and then bring it home.

As long as there is no smoke coming from the chimneys of the members' homes, most people will turn a blind eye to it.

——If everyone goes too far, not to mention the members of the production team, most of them are relatives.

Let’s just say that when this kind of thing happens to my own family in the future, what should I do?
Therefore, under the premise that almost no one sells food.

In addition, there are members of the commune who need to buy food from the frog market and go back to supplement their nutrition.

There are also well-informed and capable grain dealers hoarding grain there.

now,

It is not surprising that the price of food in the frog market has tripled.

The people present were all lamenting the sharp rise in food prices.

But among them, only Luo Xuan knew best: Where is this going?
Now the price of grain is one price per day.

In less than 10 days, it will increase by 1 yuan a catty!
等到再过1个月的时候，卖5块钱1斤的粮食、甚至是8块钱1斤。

All are normal.

I'm afraid that in another two months, floods will start in other places.

And after a big hailstorm hit Rongwei County, the seedlings that the members had worked so hard to plant were destroyed.

At that time, even if everyone has money in their hands, they will not be able to buy a grain of grain!

At that time, "Old Xu, do you want a wife?" This kind of thing happens every day.

"Hey, food is so expensive? What's the matter?"

The head cook sighed as usual: "Perhaps after a while, the situation will get better when the higher-ups use train leather to mobilize a large amount of grain."

"Ignore that for now."

Bu Yaoming patted his butt, got up and walked to the storage room of the production team, "I'm going to find the accountant and the custodian.

Let them calculate the family background of the production team, and then distribute the materials for the New Year to the big guys first.

No matter how you say it, let's get through this year and let's talk about it! "

Wait until Bu Yaoming walks away.

When Luo Xuan was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.

Pointing to Tian Dapang's pile of bedding rolls on the ground, he said, "Why do you have two bedding rolls?"

When Tian Dapang heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became tense!
"This is me, I picked it up in the coal train carriage that came back"

Ai Ai said in the early stage of Tian Dao, "I picked it up, no, it's not breaking the law, right?"

picked it up? !
Coax the ghosts to go!

In this era, the vast majority of commune members did not have enough cotton and cotton cloth in their homes.

Many members' homes don't even have enough quilts.

Once it's winter.

It is not uncommon for several brothers, and even sisters, to sleep and keep warm together in a big quilt.

Everyone values ​​the quilts and cotton cloth at home more than anything else!

There are even those very poor commune members who only have a cotton-padded jacket that can be worn.

How can there be such a good pick?
It's just that he has no control over whose quilt this Tian Dapong went to take.

Now Luo Xuan plans to go back to the Zhengxing Brigade to see Sister Xiaocao.

Since the big canteen is tightening the budget, the Zhengxing Brigade, which originally didn't have enough food, can imagine what the porridge in their canteen will look like.

The grass is growing its body.

You can't let her nutrition not keep up, which will affect Xiaocao's physical development.

I stayed in the Zhengxing production team, and there was not much grain in that brick house.

Luo Xuan reckoned that Xiaocao should be able to eat about the same amount of food that he had left for her.
