Siheyuan: Call the police at the beginning, the whole courtyard is the public enemy

Rice is 0.3 yuan, flour is 0.3 yuan, cornmeal is 0.25 yuan, cornmeal is 0.16 yuan...

Pork is 1.2 yuan, chicken is 1 yuan, fish is 0.6 yuan...

Li Weidong was stunned when he first saw the price list, because the price of every item was much higher than the market price.

The price of staple foods such as rice and noodles is more than twice as high, while the price of meat is slightly better, also about half more.

After Li Weidong raised the question, Zhang Aiguo replied: "Go to places like Pigeon Market and see if you can buy rice and flour at the price of 50 cents per pound!

Li Weidong...

"I almost forgot what time it is now. Many people have starved to death in the past three years!"

Seeing that Li Weidong was silent, Zhang Aiguo continued, "Don't think that just because the price in the supply and marketing cooperative is that, we can buy grain at that price!"

"The things in the supply and marketing cooperatives require tickets, and the tickets are strictly controlled by the state.

The grain in the supply and marketing cooperatives is actually equivalent to the minimum food provided by the state to the people. It can only guarantee that you will not starve to death!

Believe it or not, if the country relaxes its control over food, the price of food will skyrocket!"

"For example, the government only provides 30% of the food needed by our factory, and we have to figure out the rest ourselves!"

Li Weidong opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Ah? We have to rely on us to purchase such a huge food shortage?"

Seeing Li Weidong's surprised expression, Zhang Aiguo said unhappily, "What are you thinking? With the amount you purchased, I'm afraid people will starve to death."

"It's good enough that you can purchase enough food to fill the gap. The factory has additional ways to purchase food in large quantities."

"When you go to the countryside to buy things, you mainly buy some meat and other things.

Anyway, regardless of the type, your purchase task is 200 yuan, just do your best to complete the task!"

------

After Wang Shougen read the purchase price list given by Li Weidong, he found that the previous buyer had indeed lowered the price a little bit.

And the more expensive the item, the more it will be reduced.

Wang Shougen felt a little complicated. Even though the price difference was just a little bit, it could really save lives for some people!

For those who are really running out of food, pick some wild vegetables, add some cornmeal and cook it into porridge. One pound of cornmeal is enough for a family to eat two meals!

Wang Shougen felt in his pocket, took out the economic cigarette that he was reluctant to smoke, handed it forward and said, "Young man, do you want to smoke?"

Li Weidong looked at the cigarette that Wang Shougen handed over and reached out to take it.

He was a smoker before he traveled through time, but the original owner stopped smoking after traveling through time, so this body does not have a smoking addiction.

But if you don’t have the addiction to smoking, you can always start smoking again!

Wang Shougen smiled and said, "Young man, if you come to our village to purchase things at this price, I can make the decision. From now on, all the things in our village will be left to you!

We will definitely keep it a secret for you. If other buyers come, we will say that the goods have been taken away by someone else.

Hearing the words of the old village chief, Li Weidong hurriedly said: "Thank you, village chief. I am not short of money, I just don't want trouble!"

Wang Shougen welcomed Li Weidong into the house, poured him a cup of tea, asked him to wait here for a while, and went to shout a few times on the loudspeaker.

After a while, Li Weidong heard the sound of a loudspeaker: "Ahem, everyone, please gather at our house after hearing the announcement. We have something to announce.

Everyone, please gather at our house after hearing the broadcast. I have something to announce..."

When Wang Shougen came back after shouting, Li Weidong said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry to bother you, village chief, but if you call people back at this time, will it delay their work?"

Wang Shougen waved his hand, motioning Li Weidong to sit down, and then said: "The busy farming season is over, so what work is there?

It's nothing more than wanting to go to the fields and take a look, or dig some wild vegetables or something.

Then he smiled and said to Li Weidong: "Young man, you are lucky too.

In the past, it was basically impossible for buyers who came to the countryside to purchase anything unless they did it secretly!

After hearing what Wang Shougen said, Li Weidong asked curiously, why couldn't he purchase the things secretly before?

Wang Shougen sighed before saying, "Alas!"

"Why did you have to be so sneaky before?"

"Because we used to eat from a big pot, everything was shared by everyone. Even if he had something, he wouldn't dare to take it out openly!"

After hearing what the village chief said, Li Weidong remembered the big pot meal incident that started in 1958!

At that time, due to various factors such as reduced grain production,

After discussion, the leaders launched this big pot meal plan.

The starting point of this plan was certainly good, but the final result was counterproductive.

The initial idea behind this plan was that some families were on the verge of running out of food, while some others had more than they could finish!

Then let’s gather everything together, eat and drink together, unite and overcome difficulties together!

Although the starting point is good, it underestimates human nature!

When we first unified everyone's things, we did have a good time for a while.

Because everyone feels that everyone will cover the cost together, so they don’t feel bad at all when eating!

Some villages even compete with each other to see whose big pot meals are better.

As a result, in this situation, in less than two months, the food was almost gone...

And no matter what you get, it's collective.

For example, going up the mountain to hunt, going into the water to catch fish, etc.

The result is that no one has the motivation to do anything, because no matter good or bad, everyone is responsible for the consequences!

In fact, if this incident had not happened, the rural areas would not be so difficult.

After all, at the beginning, there was food stored.

Besides, if you eat your own food at home, you will definitely be able to save some and last longer!

Anyway, the final situation was that all the collective food was eaten up, and the food in the big pot could only be watery. It was impossible to eat enough, and it was even difficult to avoid starving to death!

So those who are capable would sneak around to find something to eat without being discovered.

If discovered, they would be taken away by the group.

Although the policy to cancel the big pot meal was issued two months ago, the grain was just harvested not long ago!

At this time, some people who had heard the broadcast had already arrived at the village chief's house, and then gradually more and more people came.

After everyone arrived, the village chief took the purchase order and talked to the villagers directly. Li Weidong did not participate in the whole process at all.

This saved Li Weidong a lot of trouble. And with the village chief on his side, communication was also much easier!

Li Weidong did not participate in the whole process and did not bother to care what the village chief said.

When there's such a good thing, why not just hide away and enjoy it secretly? Why worry about all that?

By the time everything was done, it was already around six or seven o'clock.

Li Weidong didn’t know the exact time, but it was already getting dark!
