Chapter 1449 Extremely Drought World 3
In fact, if he didn't have time to worry about selling the house, Anron would have sold the house to exchange money and buy supplies. But considering that selling a house is very troublesome, and renting a house is even more troublesome, so Enron gave it up and didn't have any idea of this house. , anyway, I don’t get much money from the sale. If I have the energy, it’s almost enough to use credit, card and “Huabei” to top it up.
The reason why An Ran thinks the price of rice will rise is very simple. Although ordinary people have not realized that rice prices will rise due to the food harvest, so they are hoarding goods crazily. However, some businessmen should be aware of it and will definitely stock up quietly. If they stock up quietly, It will drive up the price of food. Otherwise, why would rice cost five yuan a pound now? It’s because it hasn’t rained in the past few months and many places have not farmed. Many people realized that the situation was not good and began to stock up. So from two A few months ago, the price slowly increased.
Thinking that the price of food would rise, An Ran called her father and said, "Dad, the drought is going on now and the price of food will rise. If anyone goes to the countryside to collect food, you must not sell it unless it rains." , otherwise the price of food will skyrocket, so even if you want to sell it, you have to wait for a while."
Father Li said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not sell it. There is a severe drought this year and the food in my field is not as good as in previous years. How can I sell it?"
My original family was in the countryside, and there was a reservoir around the field, so I farmed. However, since the reservoir was not big, the water was almost dry now. Father Li did not dare to use it hard. He only dared to use it when the field was really working hard. , just poured some water in, so the growth of this rice is naturally not as good as in previous years.
An Ran felt relieved after hearing what Li's father said.
Although the future situation is not good, Anron has not asked Father Li to buy other supplies for the time being. After all, the end of the world cannot be seen yet. If Father Li is asked to buy it, he will not buy it even if he is reluctant to give up the money. He can only wait for a period of time when various supplies increase. Only then could she convince Li's father to exchange the money in his hands for supplies.
Not to mention, An Ran's guess was correct. There were really many people who came to An Ran's hometown to collect grain.
The Li family, in particular, is an important target for harvesting grain. There are fewer and fewer people farming in the original village. Even Li’s father is diligent and is still planting. Everyone knows that his family has grain, so he is a key target. From time to time, people would come and ask Mr. Li whether he could sell his rice.
Because of An Ran's advice, Li's father naturally did not sell it.
You must know that in the original world, Li's father saw the price as promising, and even sold several thousand kilograms of rice at this stage, but later regretted it.
The days quickly slipped away while An Ran was practicing martial arts and collecting express delivery.
Soon, the wonderful summer vacation came, and Li's father asked An Ran if he could go back.
According to the original rules, she went back to live during the winter and summer vacations. The reason was very simple. Living in the city cost money, but living back home, where she grew her own food, she didn't have to spend money and could save a lot of money.
But now that Anron has changed, Anron is still busy collecting express delivery. It is inconvenient to receive express delivery in rural areas. In addition, he has to sell rice to pay off the mortgage, etc. Many things are not convenient to do at home, so Anron said he would not go back for the time being.
Afraid that Li's father and mother would ask her why she didn't go back, she said she was going to show Miaomiao and sign up for a hobby class.
When she said this, Father Li and Mother Li did not stop her. After all, the child's study was a big deal.
An Ran is not lying. He is indeed planning to enroll Miaomiao in a summer class to teach Miaomiao something. After all, there will be chaos in the future and many places will be closed. It will be difficult to learn something, so it is still safe now. Times, try to let your children learn as much as possible.
Soon the day came when Anron had to pay off the mortgage, so Anran was going to sell some rice to pay off the mortgage, and also get some money to pay off Huabei and credit cards.
"Huabei", credit cards, and Enron all repay according to the minimum amount. Don't worry about the long delay and high interest. Compared with future prices, this interest is not worth anything.
At this time, the price of food, as estimated by An Ran, had risen to ten yuan a pound.
The reason why the original person has no memory of the price of rice during this period is that firstly, it has been a long time and the original person has forgotten many things; secondly, she has rice at home, but she has basically never bought it, so she does not know that the price of rice during this period is very high. normal.
When the price rose to ten yuan per catty, many urbanites—those whose parents were not from the countryside or whose relatives in the countryside did not provide rice—began to complain that they could no longer afford to eat.
This is also normal. Although modern people are well-nourished and cannot eat much rice in a month, no matter how much they can't eat, according to the configuration of a family of five or six people of three generations, fifty kilograms of rice a month is required, right? If you say no, that’s because you eat dumplings, steamed buns and other things, but those things are also food. The price of rice has increased, and it is impossible for flour to not rise. So the same thing, if measured in terms of rice, a family consumes fifty kilograms of rice a month. , is absolutely necessary.
In the past, fifty kilograms of rice could be purchased cheaply for only 100 yuan, but now it costs 500 yuan. Even if it is not unaffordable, the expense will definitely increase.
Besides, it’s not like the price increase of rice. The price of all vegetables and fruits has also increased. In the past, a family of several people might only need two or three thousand in living expenses a month. Now they save money. The food is worse than before, and the monthly expenses are more. At least three to four thousand, which makes it normal for people to start complaining that they can't afford to eat.
Many people complained that they could not afford to eat, but some netizens from rural areas said: "There has been drought all year round, and there is no farming in my hometown. The prices of rice, flour, vegetables and fruits will definitely continue to rise."
Many others echoed this.
Such news made some people with foresight start to stock up. As a result, it was obvious to the naked eye that the price of rice was rising faster, almost one price a day.
An Ran deliberately held back on selling the rice on the day she paid off the mortgage, because the longer the delay, the more expensive the price would be. Anyway, she knew the rice could be sold, so she was not afraid that no one would want it.
An Ran didn't go to the grain store to sell rice. After all, she sold it to the grain store for only nine yuan, which was not cost-effective. Instead, she rode her small electric car, pulling a bag of rice, to a nearby community, plugged in A handwritten sign that reads "My home is in the countryside, and I sell my surplus grain for 11 yuan per pound."
Now the price of rice has increased to more than 11 yuan. She only sells it for 11 yuan, which is considered cheap. If there are a dozen of this brand, it will be sold immediately.
Her guess was correct, and soon someone came to ask about the situation. He looked at the rice again and found that it was good rice, so he bought a bag of 100 kilograms of rice without saying anything.
Enron followed the same pattern and sold five more bags of rice. The bank received 6,600 yuan, which was enough to repay the mortgage, as well as the minimum amount of "Huabei" and credit card, so Enron only sold this much.
She believes that the person who decisively buys a hundred kilograms of rice from her will thank her in the future, because the price of rice outside will become more and more expensive, and even those with money will not be able to buy it in the future. Jin, save on food, a family of five can survive for three or even four months, it will definitely make a lot of money.
I had just sold the rice and returned home when the phone rang. I saw that it was Wang Mu, Wang Xinguo’s mother, who was actually her mother-in-law.
