"Did you buy food?"

"No, the supply and marketing cooperative is out of stock."

"Then what should we do? We don't have any rice or noodles at home!"

The woman stamped her feet anxiously.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I'll go back to the countryside and think of a way. First, I'll get a bag of sweet potatoes and give it a head. The salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative said we'll have food soon."

"Hey, do you still believe this? I've been saying this for more than a week, and I haven't even seen a grain of rice every day. When will we have food?"

The man stared.

"What's the point of yelling at me? I can make food out of it? You go home and take care of your children first, and I'll go to the black market to look at it later."

The woman was helpless and left with a sigh.

Lian Chongshan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Every household along the way has been in this situation. If this continues, sooner or later there will be chaos!"

Ji Qingran's complexion was not good either.

The provincial capital has been short of food for two weeks. At first, the people didn't know anything about it. They only knew that the price of rice and noodles had increased, and they complained a lot.

The price of food changed day by day, skyrocketing upwards. Later, it was so outrageous that it was the same price in the morning. Before noon, the price of food changed again.

There is nothing the supply and marketing cooperative can do.

We can't let them sell it at a loss, right?

The price of the grain that was taken back was this, and they didn't increase the price. This was considered conscientious.

Although the director of the supply and marketing cooperative has repeatedly asked employees to keep the food shortage a secret, who can really keep this secret?

We’re out of food, come and buy it quickly.

Buy it back and keep it, otherwise the price will be higher.

The salesmen at the supply and marketing cooperative all have relatives and friends, so they can’t let their own people go hungry or buy overpriced food, right?

The news flew out like wings.

As a result, the supply and marketing cooperative's rice supplies are running out faster and the price is higher.

The people's looting is completely controlled

It cannot be controlled. This is the experience and lessons learned from thousands of years of history.

If you want to completely solve the problem, you still have to start from the source.

The top priority is to supply food and let the people know that there is no shortage of rice and grain, so they will naturally not stockpile grain in large quantities.

By the time the summer grain is harvested, the grain disaster will be completely eliminated.

“Is there still food on the black market?”

Lian Chongshan shook his head.

"It's gone long ago. Anyone who can get food sells it at exorbitant prices, and the quantity is not large."

A pound of black noodles costs $[-], so you can't even buy it here.

"Xiaoran, have you thought about it?"

Ji Qingran and Lian Chongshan said that there was a lot of food in their space, and it was all fine rice and noodles, which was much better than today's food.

"I'll do the math again."

There are about 400 households in the village in the space, with about [-] acres of land growing grain, and the yield per mu is about [-] kilograms.

After harvesting and threshing, the grains are piled on the road outside the farmland.

She felt worried just looking at it and was too lazy to move it.

The provincial capital currently has a population of about one million, and each household needs at least half a catty of grain every day. One million tons is just a drop in the bucket.

But as long as food can be seen and people don't panic, public order will not be chaotic.

These grains are still useful.

"Let's go to the Materials Bureau and find my godbrother."

……

Sui Jingmian was very worried.

Not long after he took office, he encountered a food shortage.

This incident came out of nowhere. The capital city and the province sent people to investigate for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out the reason.

At the moment, he didn't care to delve into these matters. The most important thing was to get food quickly.

But where to go to raise food?

The summer harvest is still a few months away, so we can’t count on this year’s new crop.

There are still some grain reserves in the warehouse from last year, but not much is left. The provincial party committee issued instructions to

Do everything possible to raise food to ensure that people have basic food supplies.

Due to the sudden shortage of food in the north, some provinces and cities in the south have also been affected.

Many people began to hoard food maliciously and sell it at high prices.

Once the food falls into the pockets of private individuals, they will not spit it out without a price, and would rather sell it to black market food dealers.

Food prices are frighteningly high.

Sui Jingmian thought of many ways.

There are also emergency crops such as sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes in the countryside, and some grains from various counties and villages have been transferred here.

However, the news of the grain shortage could not be concealed, and people in various parts of the county got the news. The grain supply and marketing cooperatives and grain stores were quickly sold out, and there was no surplus grain to support the provincial capital.

Sui Jingmian couldn't sleep at night because of his sorrow, and his head became even more bald.

There was a knock on the door.

Sui Jingmian shouted "Come in" and was still immersed in the official document.

"Director Sui, this girl said she was your sister, so I brought her in."

The janitor knew that the atmosphere in the bureau had been tense and uneasy recently.

There was a shortage of food everywhere, and I had no rice at home for several days.

He wanted to inquire about the news, but the leaders had been very upset recently and he didn't dare to get into trouble.

Sui Jingmian raised his head and saw Ji Qingran and Lian Chongshan.

"Ah, Xiaoran, why are you here?"

Sui Jingmian relaxed his frown and smiled.

The caretaker breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had brought it correctly.

He and Sui Jingmian said hello and left, closing the door for them.

Sui Jingmian asked the two of them to sit on the sofa and poured them tea.

"Brother, stop being busy, we are not thirsty."

"Hey! What kind of talk are you talking about? You don't even drink saliva when you come?"

Sui Jingmian was joking while picking up a thermos bottle and heating water in the teapot.

tea brew

After they were done, Ji Qingran poured tea for the three of them.

"Brother, can the food shortage problem be solved?"

The people queuing up to buy food in the city were going crazy. Sui Jingmian was not surprised that Ji Qingran knew about this.

"It's not easy."

Sui Jingmian took a sip of tea and asked, "How is your school? Is the food still available? Is the food good?"

Students of Yanlin No. [-] Middle School do not need to bring their own food, but they have to pay a certain amount of tuition, miscellaneous fees and food expenses.

The school's food has been stored for a long time.

That day she heard Bian Yongyuan and Chang Wei'an mention when chatting that eating until the end of the semester shouldn't be a problem.

"That's good."

Sui Jingmian nodded, annoyance appearing on his face again unconsciously.

"Brother, I came here today just to talk to you about the food supply."

Food supply?

"Xiaoran, do you have food? How much can you have?"

Sui Jingmian waved his hand, and then lowered his voice and said: "Brother, if I don't talk to you about heretics, it's really hard to get food. If you have it, just keep it and eat it slowly."

Ji Qingran smiled and said: "Brother, I can't finish it by myself, really."

"I have a way to get food, but don't worry about where I come from. If you need it, just find someone to come with me."

Sui Jingmian blinked twice.

His chubby face may have become a lot smaller due to excessive worry and lack of sleep recently, and his eyes were visible.

"How much food do you have?"

"According to the current arrangement of grain stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, it should be able to last for half a month." This is her annual grain production.

She has been here for more than three years, and the food in the space has been harvested.

After the first batch of grain is released, we can make further arrangements based on the situation.

Sui Jingmian suspected that he had heard wrongly and couldn’t believe it.

The ground's eyes widened!
