Chapter 549 550. The shocking price of food stamps on the black market

Nie Xianzhang said: "You are still smart and the idea you came up with is quite reliable.

The ticket dealer my family often comes into contact with should be trustworthy. This person has his own job and is cautious in doing things. Even if he is caught one day, the possibility of being implicated by him is unlikely.

One thing is that the price of food stamps on the black market is too high now. With two more people in Tan Xuping's family, he needs to buy too many food stamps every month. I wonder if he can afford it? "

Just as Yue Wenxuan was about to speak, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Fan Hongjian and Tan Xuping walked in together.

The two of them found stools to sit down, and Fan Hongjian said: "Old Nie, are you underestimating Xu Ping?

He is also the deputy director of the department now, and his monthly salary is over one hundred. In addition, Guang Xia's salary is not low. Their combined monthly salary is almost one hundred and sixty. Is it possible that such a high salary can even be paid? Can’t even afford food stamps? "

Nie Xianzhang did not answer the question immediately, but asked: "Brother Jian, do you know how much a pound of food stamps are on the black market now?"

“I have never bought food stamps on the black market, and I don’t know the exact price, but I have heard from others that the price of food stamps on the black market is now very high, costing almost one yuan per kilogram.

The price is indeed extremely high. Fortunately, Lao Tan and his wife's salary is high enough, so they should still be able to afford it. "

Nie Xianzhang shook his head, "The price you mentioned is already old. When did you hear about this price?"

Fan Hongjian thought for a moment and said, "It should be right after the Chinese New Year."

"That's okay. It's been half a year. The supply has been tight for such a long time. People's panic has become more and more serious. Do you think the price of food stamps on the black market can't rise?"

"It's already one yuan a pound, and it's still going to go up! This price is already ten times more expensive than grain. If it goes up again, how many people can afford it?"

Fan Hongjian couldn't understand how the price could be so high, and looked shocked.

"Then you said, if someone delivers food stamps to your door, but the price is very high, and they charge you two yuan a pound, will you buy some?"

Fan Hongjian looked at Nie Xianzhang, and after thinking carefully, he chose to tell the truth:

“The price is so high that it’s really hard to accept, but my salary is still high and I can’t afford to buy too much. It’s okay to buy one or twenty pounds a month.

The feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable. As long as my monthly salary is enough, there is no need to save too much. In order to fill my stomach, I should still be determined to buy a little bit. "

"That's alright. Although there aren't many people earning high wages like you, there are still quite a few in our Kyoto. If you can be ruthless, of course others can too."

In front of several good friends, Nie Xianzhang did not hide anything, "To tell you the truth, my parents started to have contact with food stamp sellers as early as last winter, and they would buy twenty or thirty food stamps every month." catty.

During this year, my small family basically didn’t worry about food, mainly because of the subsidies given by my parents.

They have high wages and some financial resources. They are not afraid of spending more money, but they are afraid of going hungry.

Before liberation, there would be famines from time to time. People of their age were very sensitive to food issues. They would rather spend more money than they should to make adequate preparations. "

Yue Wenxuan had met Nie Xianzhang's parents and had a good impression of them. These two people are intellectuals of the old society, with superb professional knowledge, no lofty ideals, relatively smooth lives, and rich life experience.

What Nie Xianzhang said must be conservative. Based on Yue Wenxuan's understanding of his parents, since they have come into contact with ticket dealers, they must buy more than twenty or thirty kilograms of food stamps every month.

These two people have some wealth, and their current salary is not low. Now that they have a sense of crisis, the quantity they buy for the first time must not be small.

The two of them definitely didn't expect that the difficulties they are experiencing will last for a few years. They probably won't have as many food stamps as Yue Wenxuan did, but they will definitely have at least a few hundred kilograms.

With a few hundred kilograms of national food stamps as a reserve, and another twenty or thirty kilograms bought every month, the Nie family should be able to survive the difficulties of the past few years with their financial resources.

Tan Xuping still rarely spoke as before, but this matter was related to him. When he heard this, he asked in shock:

"It means that food stamps now cost two yuan per pound, right?"

Fan Hongjian found it hard to accept the food stamps that cost one yuan per catty. Now that it had increased to two yuan per catty, he could not accept it even more. He looked at Tan Xuping and said, "Isn't two yuan per catty just a random example?" Is it really that expensive?”

"It should be about the same. I heard my dad say that the food stamps he bought last month were one yuan and ninety pounds. The price of food stamps on the black market is one per day. I really can't say how high the price this month is. , but I think it shouldn’t be less than two yuan a pound.”

After listening to Nie Xianzhang's words, Fan Hongjian leaned back and said in despair: "The price of food stamps is so high, why can't people live? I might as well starve to death!"

The price was indeed too high, and several people could not accept it. No one wanted to speak, and there was silence for a while.

It was Tan Xuping, the client, who said: "It's more expensive, but it's still acceptable. As long as the problem can be solved, even if I spend a little more money, I'll be very happy.

You don’t know, I have been worried to death these past few days. I really don’t know how to solve the problem of feeding the suddenly increased number of two people. "

He looked at Nie Xianzhang and said, "Old Nie, I have to ask you to help me introduce that ticket seller. From now on, our family's food problem will depend on this person."

"I'll go find my dad tomorrow night and arrange for you two to meet as soon as possible. You can talk to him yourself about the rest."

If Tan Xuping only bought a small amount of food stamps, even a few dozen kilograms, Nie Xianzhang would not specially arrange for him to meet with the ticket seller, and he would just buy it on his behalf.

Although the ticket seller was fairly reliable, it was better not to have any contact with him about this kind of thing. Nie Xianzhang's father had already had contact with the ticket seller, so there was no need to involve Tan Xuping.

After all, there is no lack of trust between the two. They were college classmates in the same dormitory. After so many years of contact, they have long become close friends.

However, Tan Xuping needed to purchase too many items, and they might last for a long time, which made it inconvenient for him to purchase on behalf of others. He could only contact the ticket dealer himself, which would make the purchase more convenient.

After the two settled the matter, Yue Wenxuan looked at Tan Xuping and interjected: "I suggest you buy more national food stamps for the first time. According to the situation I have, the difficulties will not end for at least a year.

The price of food stamps on the black market is indeed high now, but it is likely to be even higher in the future.

The current price is still affordable based on your salary, but if the price continues to increase, you may not be able to afford it. "

Nie Xianzhang also added: "Nowadays, national food stamps are very popular and not easy to buy. I'm afraid I can't buy too much at one time, so I can only buy them one after another."

No need for him to explain further, everyone knows the reason for this. If you want to use it as soon as you buy it, then just buy local food stamps. Although the national food stamps contain a small amount of cooking oil, the price is too high and the price/performance ratio is too low. It is not necessary.

But if it is used for reserves, then the only option is to buy national food stamps. Because the validity period of local food stamps is too short, usually one year, while national food stamps are valid for a long time, they are most suitable for reserve.

Of course, if it is sent to other provinces, it can only be exchanged for national food stamps, because national food stamps are used nationwide, while local food stamps can only be used locally.

"Since food stamps are hard to buy across the country, we should pay more attention to them and have some reserves no matter what."

If it weren't for the good relationship between the two of them, Yue Wenxuan would definitely not have given such advice.

The current difficulties have just begun a year ago, and it will take another two years to end. It is not too late to start preparing now, and it is very necessary.

Just like the price of food stamps, it has now risen to a sky-high price of two yuan per pound, which is really unacceptable. But by next year, the price of food stamps will reach a peak, and may even rise to five yuan per pound at the peak.

Not only the price of food stamps is rising, but the price of everything else that can be eaten is also rising. During the peak period, the prices of various non-staple food items and black market prices will also soar fifty-fold.

"Wenxuan is right, we should make some preparations in advance. Now that I can contact ticket sellers, I will buy more food stamps."

Fan Hongjian turned to Tan Xuping and said, "I'll go to the bank later to withdraw two hundred yuan and give it to you. When you buy food stamps, buy them for me too."

"Okay, I'll try to exchange you for as many national food stamps as possible." Tan Xuping said.

Yue Wenxuan specially reminded, "You still need to pay special attention to confidentiality. It is best not to tell anyone about buying food stamps from ticket dealers, especially your colleagues, and you must keep it secret."

If an interested person in the unit finds out about this, it may be written down, and it may become a big source of leverage in the future. "

The current atmosphere is not as strict as it was in the future, and some people do not realize the importance of confidentiality.

Later, some irregularities committed by those with high salaries during this period will become hateful evidence.

For example, during the period when the black market prices are the highest next year, some people with high wages may spend 50 yuan to buy a chicken and 30 yuan to buy a catty of pork. This is really disgusting.

After the material was formed, this was the evidence of crime! And once disclosed, it can easily trigger public outrage.

Yue Wenxuan has seen and heard too much material similar to this in his previous lives. He knows the seriousness of the matter, so he specially reminds everyone to keep it confidential.

Fan Hongjian may be joking on the surface, but he is actually a very cautious person. He also agreed:

"Wenxuan is right. After all, buying food stamps in private is against the rules. You must keep it confidential and not let others know.

We all have to pay attention to this on weekdays and never let it slip. "

Tan Xuping and Nie Xianzhang naturally agreed.

After ordering, Yue Wenxuan said to Tan Xuping: "Old Tan, your family has encountered such a big difficulty. As friends, we must express our gratitude."

Saying this, Yue Wenxuan took out a stack of tickets from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand, "My conditions are better than those of you. Don't be polite to me, just accept them in a down-to-earth manner."

The relationship was so close that Tan Xuping was not polite to Yue Wenxuan and counted the tickets in his hand in front of him.

The quantity is quite large, including twenty kilograms of national food stamps, and three ten-yuan overseas remittance coupons.

Although he didn't want to say polite words, Tan Xuping still said: "You just gave each of us twenty yuan in overseas remittance coupons, and now you have to plunder so many. If all the friends you make are like me, no matter how big the family fortune is, it will be wiped out." You are ruined."

Yue Wenxuan said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of if you lose your money? Those of us who are skilled are not afraid of losing our family fortune. As long as there is a hospital, we won't have to worry about not being able to eat.

Besides, there is no need to save these tickets in my hand. Now is the most difficult time. Only when these tickets are used now can they have the greatest impact.

After all, the difficulty is only temporary and will pass sooner or later. I think it won’t be too long, only one or two years at most. Once the crisis is over and life returns to normal, these tickets will basically be of little use. "

"Wenxuan is right, don't be polite to us. If a friend cannot help when he is in trouble, can he still be called a friend?"

Nie Xianzhang also took out a few food stamps and stuffed them into his hand, "I'm not as capable as Wenxuan, so I collected twenty kilograms of local food stamps for you. Don't think I'm stingy."

Although Tan Xuping accepted Yue Wenxuan's wishes, he did not want to accept Nie Xianzhang's gift. He put the food stamps back into Nie Xianzhang's hands and said affectionately and seriously:

"Wenxuan is a rich man among our friends. If we have difficulties, who else can we turn to instead of him?"

Tan Xuping saw Fan Hongjian also taking out a few food stamps and holding them in his hand, obviously preparing to give them to him.

He glared at Fan Hongjian and continued to say to Nie Xianzhang: "If it weren't for the ticket dealer you introduced, I would definitely not refuse the two of you. After all, I really have this need. If I want to solve the problem at hand, I can only rely on Friends help.

But it’s really no longer necessary.

Although the price of food stamps on the black market is a bit high now, I have still saved a little money over the years, and I can still afford the burden of two more people.

I won’t be polite to you. If the price of black market food stamps continues to rise in the future, rising to a point that I can’t bear, I will definitely ask you for help.

You know, I'm not the kind of person who tries to make a fool of myself. I will definitely speak up when I need help. "

Fan Hongjian knew the temper of his old partner and took the initiative to say:

"It took a lot of effort for me to squeeze out these fifteen kilograms of food stamps for you.

Since you are about to come into contact with a ticket seller, I won’t give it to you. "

Fan Hongjian took the lead, but Nie Xianzhang could only give up and took back the food stamps he had prepared.
