Moreover, the food prices in grain stores are often cheaper.

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

Inverted, that is, the price of grain purchased uniformly is more expensive than the price of grain sold uniformly, which violates market laws. In the market economy, most sales are higher than costs. After all, it is necessary to make money. Under the planned economy, unified purchase and sales will be limited to the purchase and sales price.

The purchase price of grain is higher than the selling price, and the difference between the food has been subsidized by the finance department.

Nowadays, the purchase and sale of grain is gradually relaxed, and the prices of fruits, vegetables, and some miscellaneous grains have been completely relaxed, and rice, wheat, etc. are also loosening. From unified purchase, fixed grain prices to contract ordering, the purchase price of grain has actually been rising, but the price of rations provided by urban residents has remained unchanged for a long time.

However, it is only that the sales price of rations for urban residents remains unchanged. Rural rice no longer implements unified sales prices, but is adjusted based on the purchase price. The purchase price has increased by a proportion, so how much the price of rice sold to rural areas will also increase by a proportion.

Simply put, the price of grain is divided into towns and rural areas. The price of grain sold to towns remains unchanged, while the price of grain sold to rural areas is rising.

Many people in rural areas also buy food!

Lu Hao had talked to an old farmer before that his family had a rice field of about 5 cents. The yield of one acre of land was more than 400 kilograms. 145 kilograms of public grain and 332 kilograms of ordering. Among them, the public grain was paid in vain. Ordered grain was calculated at the lowest price in the market. Although it was calculated, the grain was ordered to be sold, which was equivalent to the harvest of one acre of land and only one acre of grain left for self-feeding.

The money for ordering grain ended up not much, because I had to pay the three quotas and five quotas.

The three references refer to village collection withdrawals, that is, provident fund, public welfare fund and management fees.

Provident fund is not housing provident fund, it refers to the public accumulated funds of the village collective, which are mainly used for the maintenance and rectification of village collective assets. For example, if there is a problem with the house in the village committee office, it needs to be repaired, or if the village needs to build an elderly activity room, all of which require provident fund.

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

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

The five divisions refer to township coordination, including rural education surcharges, family planning fees, preferential assistance fees, militia training fees, and private office assistance fees such as construction of rural roads.

Three increases and five combinations are relatively large expenses, commonly known as the eight major items, but in fact there are some other minor items.

The burden is very heavy, otherwise he would not have taken the risk of harvesting fruits and vegetables to sell in the city. If he doesn’t have enough food, he has to buy food, and if he has no money, he has to find a way.

It takes extraordinary courage to bring fruits and vegetables produced by your own home or neighbors to the city to sell.

"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, pour it out first." Su Min went to the kitchen and poured the last little oil in the oil pot into a bowl, and used it to cook later.

The oil pot is iron, just like a teapot.

He took out the snakeskin bag next to the rice jar and handed it to Lu Hao's hand.

Snakeskin bags are used to hold rice.

"Don't be anxious first." Su Min went into the cabinet again and found a stack of plastic bags.

This thing is rare and most vendors don’t offer it, but it’s popular with plastic bags in department stores and some brand stores, which are 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, and Su Min saved a lot of them together with the ones they collected before.

All were washed and dried and collected.

Some of them are really useless. If they break a hole, they are dirty and cannot be washed clean, then put them in the trash can next to them to fill the garbage.

It was neat and in all colors and styles. She took out a perfect and sturdy texture and put it outside the oil pot. "Wait for you to ride a bicycle later, the bag is very strong and convenient to hang on the handlebars, so the food is placed in the back seat of the car."

She found another hemp rope.

She knew best what was placed at home. She stuffed the food coupons and change into Lu Hao's pocket, patted it, and instructed, "Don't get it off."

"Don't worry, I can't fall off." Lu Hao nodded, carried the oil pot and went out with a snakeskin bag.

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

Lu Hao arrived shortly after riding his bicycle.

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

The grain and oil tickets have been issued for a long time. After issuing the location designated by the neighborhood committee in the jurisdiction, the grain book has been stamped with a seal of 'issued grain and oil'.

All rations are quantitative.

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

As for cooking oil, regardless of gender, age, each person has one kilogram per month. The monthly ration for a family of three is 77 kilograms, and 3 kilograms of oil is not enough to eat. If you change coarse grains, or when sweet potatoes are supplied, you can change to sweet potatoes. One kilogram of grain coupon can buy 5 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

If the oil is not enough, weigh some pork, pick the fat ones, practice lard, and you can cook the lard, and you can eat the meat residue.

When Lu Hao arrived, there were not many people. After a while, he took the grain book and grain coupons and went to the invoice window to check the grain book, and then paid the money. He had 15 cents of indica rice and 77 cents of vegetable oil. He issued a grain bill, and then went to another window for storing grain, and received the rice and oil based on the grain bill.

After everything was done, Lu Hao tied the snakeskin bag with rice in the back seat, put the oil pot with plastic bags on the handlebar, stepped on the bicycle, and slowly returned to the community.

I dare not be fast, I am afraid I will break if I am too fast.

It needs to be used.

"Go to the grain store?"

“It’s convenient to have a bicycle, come and go quickly.”

"Boss Lu, you are a rich man now. You still go there in person to buy food. Don't you find a secretary and ask the secretary to do it for you?"

When neighbors saw Lu Hao, they greeted each other.

"The rice jar at home is empty."

"There are few people today and I haven't been waiting for a long time. I'll hurry up and go."

"Don't rich people have to wipe themselves if they poop? Why don't you come and be my secretary and help me wipe it?"

Lu Hao responded one by one, and he was polite, and he took it back with a sourness, and learned the essence of the Murong family's way of applying it to the fullest, and used it.

After locking the bicycle, he didn't rush to go upstairs. He took out a cigarette and lit it, and rushed to the old zodiac in the convenience store, "Give it a soda, I'll give it money after smoking this cigarette."

"There is no hurry to pay the money, it will be done any time." Lao Huang was very polite.

In the past, it was difficult for Lu Hao to take credit, but since Lu Hao became rich and had money, it became easier to take credit. You don’t have to mention it and take the initiative to ask you to make a credit account.

Spitting out smoke, Lu Hao remembered a sentence he once read: When you succeed, there are good people around you.

Not completely right, but it is 80% or 90%.

He looked at the stairs and the little widow Chen Linjiao went downstairs, holding a cloth cover in his hand. He had just washed it and was still wet. He walked to the clothesline and got on.

"What are you doing?" Lu Hao asked.

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

"It looks pretty. Wherever I buy it, I'll buy a few too." Lu Hao praised.

The air conditioner, refrigerator, and TV at home are covered with cloth on weekdays, making it even better to have a cover and is convenient.
