Moreover, grain prices in grain stores are often relatively cheap.

For a long time, in order to ensure that urban residents can buy cheap food, food prices have been upside down.

Inverted, that is to say, the price of uniformly purchased grain is more expensive than the unified price of grain sold. This is against the laws of the market. Under the market economy, most sales are higher than the cost. After all, we have to make money. Under the planned economy, unified purchasing and marketing are restrictive.

The buying and selling prices are inverted.

The purchasing price of grain is higher than the selling price, and the difference in price has always been subsidized by the government.

Nowadays, the purchase and sale of grains are slowly being liberalized. The prices of fruits, vegetables, and some miscellaneous grains have been completely liberalized. Rice, wheat, etc. are also being loosened. From unified purchasing, fixed grain prices, to contract ordering, this process

In fact, the purchase price of grain has been rising, but the price of rations for urban residents has remained unchanged for a long time.

However, only the sales price of urban residents' rations remains unchanged. Rural rice is no longer subject to a unified sales price, but is adjusted based on the purchase price. If the purchase price increases by a certain proportion, the price of rice sold to rural areas will also rise accordingly.

What a proportion.

To put it simply, the sales price of grain is divided into urban and rural areas. The price of grain sold to urban areas remains unchanged, while the price of grain sold to rural areas is rising.

Many people in rural areas also buy grain!

Lu Hao had talked with an old farmer before. His family has about 2 acres and 5 cents of rice fields. The output of one acre of land is more than 400 kilograms. He has to pay 145 kilograms of rations of grain, and the order quantity is 332 kilograms. The rations of grain are paid for free, and the grain ordered is

The money is calculated based on the lowest price in the market. Even though it is money, the grain ordered must be sold, which means the harvest equivalent to one acre of land must be handed over, leaving only more than one acre of grain for self-sufficiency.

In the end, I didn't get much money for ordering grain because I had to pay three bills and five bills.

The three mentions refer to the village collective withdrawals, that is, the provident fund, the public welfare fund and the management fee.

The provident fund is not the housing provident fund. It refers to the public accumulated funds of the village collective. It is mainly used for the maintenance and improvement of the village collective assets. For example, if there is a problem with the village committee office house and needs to be repaired, or the village needs to build an activity room for the elderly, these must be used.

Provident fund.

Public welfare funds are mainly funds for public welfare, such as donating money to needy households, condolences to people in need, etc.

Management fees mainly refer to subsidies for village cadres, office expenses, etc.

Wutong refers to the overall planning of townships and towns, including rural education surcharges, family planning fees, special care fees, militia training fees, rural road construction and other private support projects.

The three items and the five items are relatively large expenses, commonly known as the eight major items. In fact, there are some other minor items.

The burden was heavy, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the risk to collect fruits and vegetables and sell them in the city. If he didn't have enough to eat, he would have to buy grain, and if he didn't have money, he would have to find a way.

It takes extraordinary courage to sell fruits and vegetables grown at home or by neighbors in the city.

"I have time, so I'll go now. The grain store is not far away," Lu Hao said.

"Then wait for me for a while. There is still some oil in the oil pot, so pour it out first." Su Min went to the kitchen and poured the last bit of oil in the oil pot into a bowl, which will be used for cooking later.

The oil kettle is made of iron, just like a teapot.

Then he took out the snakeskin bag placed next to the rice vat and handed it to Lu Hao's hand.

Snakeskin bags are used to carry rice.

"Don't worry yet." Su Min rummaged inside the cabinet again and found a stack of plastic bags.

There are very few of these things, and most small vendors will not provide them. However, department stores and some brand stores are popular in using plastic bags, which is fashionable and convenient.

Lu Hao and his family went shopping on Jianghan Road and bought a lot of things, some of which were packed in plastic bags. Together with what they had collected before, Su Min saved a lot.

All were washed, dried and quickly put away.

Some of them are really unusable, have some holes, and are too dirty to be washed, and then put them in the trash can next to them.

They were neatly arranged in various colors and styles. She took out a good and sturdy bag and put it on the outside of the oil can. "You can go riding a bicycle later. This bag is very strong and can be easily hung on the handlebars.

The food is placed in the back seat of the car."

She found another hemp rope and came out.

She knew best where to put things at home. She stuffed the food stamps, food book, and change into Lu Hao's trouser pocket, patted them, and said, "Don't drop them."

"Don't worry, you can't drop it." Lu Hao nodded, carried the oil can and went out with the snakeskin bag under his arm.

The grain store is more than 1 km away from the community.

Lu Hao arrived soon on his bicycle.

Grain stores are also under the jurisdiction of the Grain Bureau.

Grain and oil coupons are issued long ago at a location designated by the neighborhood committee in the jurisdiction. After the coupons are distributed, a stamp of "Grain and oil has been issued" will be stamped on the grain book.

Rations are rationed.

Lu Hao's ration is 34 kilograms, Su Min's is 28 kilograms, and Nini's is 15 kilograms.

As for cooking oil, regardless of age or sex, each person is one pound per month. The monthly ration for a family of three is 77 pounds. Oil is 3 pounds, which is not enough. So replace it with whole grains, or sweet potatoes when there is a supply of sweet potatoes. One pound of food stamps can be enough.

Exchanged for 5 pounds of sweet potatoes.

If the oil is not enough, weigh some pork, select the fat and weigh it, and make lard. The lard produced can be used for cooking, and the meat residue can also be eaten.

There were not many people when Lu Hao arrived, so he queued for a while. He took the food book and food stamps to the invoicing window to check the food book, and then paid. The indica rice was 151 cents, and the vegetable oil was 771 catties. The food was issued.

Then go to another grain storage window and receive rice and oil with the grain bill.

After everything was ready, Lu Hao put the snakeskin bag filled with rice in the back seat and tied it up. He hung the oil can with the plastic bag on the handlebar, pedaled the bicycle, and slowly returned to the community.

Don't dare to go too fast, for fear of breaking if it's too fast.

Still need to use it.

"Go to the grain store?"

"Having a bicycle is convenient, and you can come and go quickly."

"Boss Lu, you are now a rich man. Why don't you go buy food yourself? Why don't you find a secretary and let the secretary do it for you?"

Neighbors saw Lu Hao and greeted him one after another.

"The rice vat at home is empty."

"There are not many people today, so the queue doesn't take long, so hurry up and get what you need."

"Don't rich people have to wipe their own poop? How about you be my secretary and wipe it for me?"

Lu Hao responded one by one. He was polite when he was polite, and he pushed back when he was sour. He had learned the essence of the Murong family's method of giving back to others, and used it vividly.

After locking the bicycle, he didn't rush upstairs. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and said to Lao Huang at the canteen, "Send me a soda. I'll give you the money after I finish smoking this cigarette."

"The money is not urgent, I can pay it anytime." Lao Huang was very polite.

It was usually difficult for Lu Hao to get credit, but since Lu Hao became rich and prosperous, it has become easier to get credit.

While blowing out the smoke, Lu Hao remembered a sentence he once read: When you succeed, you will be surrounded by good people.

Not entirely correct, but eighty or ninety percent correct.

He looked at the stairs. The little widow Chen Linjiao came downstairs. She was holding a cloth cover in her hand. It had just been washed and was still wet. She walked to the clothesline and put it on.

"What are you trying to do?" Lu Hao asked.

"Fan." Chen Linjiao pulled the pleats on the cloth cover, smoothed them out, and replied.

"It's very nice. Where can I buy it? I'll buy some too." Lu Hao praised.

The air conditioner, refrigerator, and TV at home are usually covered with cloth. Having a cover will look better and be more convenient.
