Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

It’s not that I don’t want to have three or five good friends, but judging from the current situation, my current state is very good and there is no need to break it.

Another point is that I don’t have the time and energy.

After all, no one knows whether everyone will go their separate ways after the Cotton Mill is built, so it’s better not to waste that emotion.

And now my main concern is not making friends with them, but focusing most of my attention on the fluctuations in prices outside.

By the way, since I went to buy cloth last week, the price has fluctuated a little bit.

At the beginning, cotton yarn was priced at 743 million yuan per piece and white cloth was priced at 29 yuan per piece.

The last time I went to buy, the cotton yarn and white cloth were priced at 748 million yuan and 27.5 yuan respectively.

The price of other cloth has increased from 46.8 yuan per piece to 47 yuan per piece now.

On the other hand, no matter what kind of fabric it is, the retail price is relatively more expensive.

Although the price of white cloth has dropped a little compared to before, it is impossible to make clothes with only white cloth, right?

And even if you want to use cloth to make clothes, you won’t use that much. The most commonly used cloth is cloth of other colors.

I have bought quite a few pieces of cloth since I started working, but judging from the current price increase, I will have to buy more in the future.

As for the price of cotton, it has also increased to varying degrees. Logically, the new cotton of this season should have arrived, so why is it rising instead of falling?

It's a bit strange, but I don't know where to start, even though I have memories of my previous life.

But then again, things of this era were things I had either read about in books or watched on TV.

Even if I just listened to what my grandfather talked about in the past, most of it was about things in the countryside. I know very little about our current life in the city.

And it is impossible to know too many details. After all, if you are not an expert or professor engaged in research in this era, how can you know everything?

The director said, since there is still a chance, we should stock up as much as we can!

I just didn't expect that while we were worrying about cloth and cotton, something bigger would happen somewhere else.

Not long after the National Day, another order was issued from above, which not only disrupted my own life rhythm, but also disrupted the life rhythm of everyone.

The reason is simply that a planned grain supply must be implemented throughout the country, and a method of selling grain in fixed quantities and with vouchers must be adopted.

Because of this incident, everyone in the usually quiet Finance Department put down their work and started discussing this matter.

"How is the rationing method for selling grain with certificates?"

"Who knows this?"

“That’s right, isn’t this in the document and I don’t see it?

Moreover, the major newspapers have only mentioned it in a few words, and we have no idea how it will be implemented.”

"Isn't this the equivalent of telling us to just follow orders?"

"Isn't that the truth?"

“How did it become like this?

We ordinary people have finally become the masters of our own country, how come something like this happens? "

"Ugh!

Even though you are worried, aren't everyone worried too?

But the people above are also helpless?

Actually, this is understandable. If it weren't for the large-scale disasters in some places this year, why would such a policy be introduced? "

"You know what? I actually saw this disaster in the news. I heard that the disaster was very serious?"

"If it's not serious, I think the people above don't need to worry so much!"

"It really is."

Don't be so realistic. The policy has already been released and it's probably not far from the real truth.

No, starting from this noon, after get off work and lunch, don’t think about resting, run to the nearest grain store near the factory and buy food as soon as possible.

I don’t know whether the price of grain in the grain stores has increased after this order was issued?

If the price rises too much, you can go to the countryside to buy some grains. There is no shortage of fine grains in the space anyway.

Even if there is a shortage of fine grains, there is no need to care what is fine grain and what is coarse grain, as long as it is edible food.

If you really can't get any fine grains, then prepare more coarse grains.

Even if the time comes, to be honest, it would not be a good idea to take out too much grain at once.

But at least it’s real food, not wild vegetables or branches, right?

On the other hand, if we often ate refined grains at that time, it would probably not be very convenient.

After finishing lunch, he hurried to the nearest grain store.

What’s more, when I ran to the door of the grain store, many people had already arrived earlier than me. It seemed that they came to buy food without even having lunch?

Even though everyone is queuing up there in a hurry, the store owner is not in a hurry.

However, during this period, I also heard many people talking about food.

"Ugh!

Why did this policy come out of nowhere? "

"Who says it's not?

As soon as I heard about it, I didn’t even have time to eat before I lined up. Who would have thought there would be people more enthusiastic than me? "

“How do you say this?

Everyone is afraid of starvation, so they must be thinking of taking this opportunity to stock up more food!

Otherwise, what if the price of food goes up, or if there is a rationing of food during those days? "

"That's true. In the past, I not only worried about not having enough food, but also worried about my life.

Now you don't have to worry about your life, but if you don't have enough food and are hungry, don't you want to be hungry?"

"That's right, but since the higher-ups have already issued a policy, there's nothing we can do about it!"

"Who says it's not?

Although I don’t know when this policy will be implemented, I know that before that, I’d better buy as much as possible! ”

"That's true, but I just heard that the price of food in the grain store hasn't changed much, so I guess we won't be short of food for the time being?"

"No matter if we need it or not, we should buy some first. There are many people in our family, and even if we buy more, they won't last long."

"That's true."

Then I heard someone saying it again.

"Give me 50 kilograms of rice?"

"Okay, 50 kilograms of rice, a total of 7."

"Give me 50 kilograms of white flour?"

"Okay, 50 kilograms of flour costs 5.5 yuan."

……

"Give me 50 kilograms of rice?"

"Sorry, we're out of rice and flour today. We only have some coarse grains left!"

"what?

there is none left?"

"how is this possible?"

"That's it?

How come it's gone so quickly?"

"Or do you want to keep it and raise the price?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"That's right, we really have run out of food in our store. We only have this much fine grain, which should be enough to sell for a month. Who would have thought that so many people would come to buy food?
