Chapter 0344 Food Prices Plummeted 2
Grain stamps are very useful, but the countryside does not issue grain stamps to peasants, only urban residents have them, and they buy grain with them.
Many peasants either bring their own dry rations or take their grain to the grain management office to exchange for food stamps, and then go to the city to eat with the tickets, which is very troublesome, so they all want food stamps.
The development of the Wanglou Brigade is getting better and better, and food stamps, cloth stamps and other items are definitely in demand. Wang Zhengguo has managed the Wang Lou Brigade for so many years, and he really doesn't want to watch his parents and fellow villagers get anxious because of all kinds of tickets.
"Great, uncle, I can't wait! I'm going to find out the ticket. Feng Qingxue was overjoyed, took out all the food stamps on hand, counted them, and there were whole and zero, a full two hundred and thirty-five pounds of food stamps.
One hundred and thirty pounds of flour stamps, one hundred and five pounds of coarse grain stamps. Because it was not a normal transaction allowed by the state, after Wang Zhengguo accepted the ticket and money, he asked his son to open the granary that night, loaded 150 catties of new wheat and 130 catties of corn kernels and quietly sent them to Feng Qingxue's house.
The food stamps are finished grains, and the amount he gives is gross grain, which of course is more than the face value of the grain stamps. Feng Qingxue asked Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng to send some of Lu Jiang's comrades-in-arms over.
The two children went to the tobacco market a few times, brought back a few pieces of jewelry and a porcelain vase, and gave them to Feng Qingxue like a treasure.
"Auntie, do we still have any money? Give us a little more. Feng Qingxue looked at the white jade bracelet, jade bracelet, jade bracelet and turn-heart bottle in front of him,
"Where did it come from?" Guan Cheng said proudly: "I bought it!" Auntie, let me tell you, the white jade bracelet is two yuan, the jade eighteen sons are eight cents a piece, and the heart bottle and the jade bracelet are only five yuan in total. I didn't spend the money that Grandma Xu gave me before, so I used it to buy things. Auntie, if our family has money, let's buy these things, and I will definitely not regret it in the future. ”.. Feng Qingxue immediately took out the useless money when he saved Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu and handed it to them, with one hundred and seventy or eighty yuan left, and carefully advised: "Be careful when entering and exiting the tobacco market, don't be caught by the cadres who visit private transactions." If it weren't for her giving birth to a child and raising a child, she would have gone to the tobacco market a few times ago and came back.
"Auntie, don't worry, we only buy old goods, not food, and it doesn't matter if we are caught, because we don't trade materials privately." Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun divided half of it and put the money in their pockets.
Lu Tianjun nodded in agreement on the side. The wind and snow are a little confused,
"People don't ask for food to come out with old things?" Guan Cheng looked at her and smiled, "I knew it!" I told Tianjun that our family has enough food, and my uncle's comrades-in-arms often help us, so my aunt must have been to the tobacco market, and it was as I expected. Now that the price of grain has fallen, the price of fine grain is only seven or eight cents a pound, and coarse grain is three or five cents, of course, it is more cost-effective to sell for money. ”
"It should be because of this year's bumper harvest, the food shortage has been alleviated, and the supply of commercial grain is not as tight as before, so the grain prices in the tobacco market have plummeted. In the first few years, I heard from my classmates that even food stamps could be sold for five yuan a catty, not to mention high-priced grain. When the wind and snow heard this, they were very happy, because this situation represented the end of three difficult years!
In the future, when they go in and out of the tobacco market, they will spend money to buy things, anyway, their family is not short of money, and the food will be left for their families to eat, although the famine is over, but the country is short of materials, and food in many places is still very important.
