I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"Brother Dongfang, white flour has reached one yuan per pound, and coarse grains have reached thirty cents per pound. When will the grain ration be reduced?" He Yushui asked during lunch.

"It's coming soon. On the 1.6th, the average per capita food supply will be reduced by 270 catties. This is not a good thing. Next year, the average per capita food supply will be 7.4 catties, which is an average of taels per day. There will still be losses.

There is not enough food this year, but next year will be a really problematic year with half the country affected.

Cao Jiajia can eat less in the future. I will save food to sell, and then buy you a cake, okay! "Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Brother, what did you say? Say it again. I didn't hear you just now?" Cao Jiajia asked like a little hamster.

"No more talking. Just eat your meal and then the cake. You too, He Yushui!" Cao Dongfang said while eating a big meat bun and drinking Feilong soup.

"Okay, Brother Dongfang!" He Yushui was happy when he knew the time for the grain ration to be reduced.

The country's grain situation will be even worse next year, so we can make a lot of money from grain this time. As for what others are doing, He Yushui is not so noble as to consider it.

Just know that you have made a lot of money!

"Uncle Niu, the meat and pig head you and Uncle Pian asked for! I'll take the wine. Have you calculated the cost, including your salary? I'll give it to you." Cao Dongfang said.

"We keep records every day, so it's easier to calculate. We can just deduct the money for the meat and pig heads and tell Dongfang what time he'll take a break." asked Uncle Niu.

"I may take a few days off in November. I don't want to take any more breaks in September and November. I will come again in seven days and go out again," said Cao Dongfang.

"Then you go ahead and do your business first. We are just having a drink." said Uncle Niu.

“I must go drink some time.

.......

On September 1.6, the country lowered the grain ration for urban residents. kilograms is not a lot, and people like Qin Huairu can just go without food for two days.

No one will die from hunger for two days!

It’s not a big deal!

This... this is just Cao Dongfang's idea. Using Qin Huairu as an example, she is the kind of person who can talk without any pain in her waist. Cao Dongfang is fine -

We have more than 50 million tons of grain, all rice and flour, and if they were all given to the country, there would be no disaster; it's just that it's difficult to explain to the international community.

Even if we buy from the United States, it's a regular business, and we can produce 20 million tons a year, which is already too much. The United States's transportation capacity is only relative, and it is impossible for it to transport only grain.

People in the compound were wailing. The food, which was already insufficient, was reduced by 1.6 kilograms per person, which had a big impact on every household.

Only Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing and Zhao Jie were safe at home in the compound.

Liang Ladi gave birth to another son, Sanmao!

Other families are experiencing even greater hardship!

Including our extremely noble Su family, if we don’t buy food this time, we will starve!

The family went from being short of three or four kilograms of food per month to being short of two or three kilograms per person per month, which means a family of four needs ten kilograms of food.

If you don't buy it, you will starve. Being noble has its price. You may not be able to buy all the white flour in the food ration.

Qinggao should also take the food bag and go buy food!

The most fierce are still the pigeon market and the black market. The price of flour has directly dropped to 1.80 to 2 yuan per catty, ordinary white flour is 1.6 yuan, and coarse grains are 45 to 50 cents per catty. It's terrifying!

The He family was the only ones laughing in the compound. It was only September and they had already earned two yuan. How much would they get during the Chinese New Year? I couldn’t even imagine whether it would be three yuan or two and a half yuan!

Zhao Jie and Yi Zhonghai both felt a little regretful. They bought too little grain. In just a short time, white flour cost only two yuan, and coarse grains cost only 45 cents!

It will be good after a year, at least we will have a few hundred kilograms of food, and we won’t have to buy expensive food.

Only the Jia family was really stupid this time. They never expected that food prices would rise so fast. Jia Dongxu could not afford 43 kilograms of coarse grains with yuan a month.

Sixty-five kilograms of coarse grains, that's 30 yuan. Jia Zhangshi eats 24 kilograms of grain a month, and Qin Huairu has to do odd jobs to earn money, 24 kilograms a month, and the remaining 17 kilograms of coarse grains.

Jia Dongxu saved three kilograms of fine grains from his rations for Xiaodang. He couldn't save any more. Suddenly, nearly five kilograms of food was missing in a month. It was too much!

If the price goes up a few cents more, the Jia family really won’t be able to afford food. Let’s all save money!

Even if Jia Zhang's pig was unwilling, it had no choice. The family could not afford to buy too much food, and the remaining money had to be used to buy other necessities!

.......

"Hahaha, the price of grain has reached two yuan per catty in mid-September. This price is really unimaginable. It is only better than before the founding of the People's Republic of China." He Daqing said happily.

"We won't need food until next year. The food ration has been reduced by 1.6 kilograms. There is no shortage of food. Only your cooks are better. There is not enough food for many people.

Dad, how much do you want to sell it for? "He Yushui asked.

"During the Chinese New Year, we can see that white flour can be sold at 2.5 yuan, and coarse grains can be sold at 55 cents. We can make a net profit of two and a half times the money.

Don’t be too greedy. We have a lot of grain. It’s best to find a big customer and sell it all at once! "He Daqing said.

"Then I can earn 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, which is enough, plus the savings will be over ten thousand." He Yushui said.

"That's more than ten thousand now. That's fast!" said Sha Zhu.

"Leave some anyway. 200 kilograms is enough. The steel mill's grain supply is strictly controlled and it's hard to buy grain," said He Daqing.

“My family has no shortage of food!”

.......

After transporting the supplies to the plateau and the desert, he went to pick up the goods for the second time. Three hundred thousand tons was not a lot. Cao Dongfang finished the transportation in six days and took the initiative to talk to Wei Lao on the phone.

“Not much equipment from the base was shipped out last time, so I’ll ship it by plane. There’s still more than a month until December when the goods are delivered.

I'll transport it by plane and save the transportation capacity! What do you think, Elder Wei? Let the Second Elder know.

I will first give the three sets of equipment that have just arrived to Guang Province. I will transport them there first. Half a day will be enough. "Cao Dongfang said.

"That's right. Forget about your transportation capacity. I'll talk to the second elder. The factory can be built earlier and the country's transportation capacity can be saved. Please wait a moment." said Elder Wei.

Half an hour later, Mr. Wei called back.

"You go and transport it. There is a delivery address at the base. Take it and deliver it directly to the construction site warehouse. The Second Elder is giving orders to all places.

Just leave after you have transported it, and don’t worry about anything else. Someone will notify the local secretary to come.

Or you can tell me where you are going to go to and ask the secretary to wait for you." Elder Wei said.

"Let them wait a moment, I will go to these three places right away... There are a total of six places until midnight today. It is not a problem for me to travel 300 kilometers in an hour!" Cao Dongfang said.

"Okay, I'll inform the Second Elder."

The southern region is closer, with five deliveries a day, and in Guangdong Province seven or eight sets of equipment can be delivered a day.

It took a total of six days to build the thirty-four sets of equipment in the south. The distance was short so it didn’t take much time, but the north and northwest were so far away!

There were still forty-three sets of equipment. Eight sets in the northwest took four days, and the remaining thirty-five sets required thirteen days, for a total of twenty-nine days.

Cao Dongfang transported all the remaining 77 sets of equipment to cities across the country that needed to build factories, greatly saving the country's transportation capacity.

It’s just that the Ministry of Railways has done something wrong again. Saving transportation capacity is a good thing.

The second elder gave an order to rearrange railway transportation, focusing on grain, as there was a huge gap in transportation capacity!

The Second Elder also understood that Cao Dongfang's ability could be of great use, as long as it involved large-scale transportation! It was just that Comrade Cao Dongfang had worked hard.

Work hard for the next two years, and everything will be fine in two years. As for not having time to find a girlfriend, that's not a big deal. Just find a good girl and choose one.

I'm a matchmaker!

The second elder said with a wave of his hand.

Even the Great Elder acknowledged that Cao Dongfang's personal ability was too outstanding in this aspect. Was this the combination of 'spatial ability' and 'speed realm'?

This ability is of great use. Ask a few people to think about it. Why didn’t Cao Dongfang come up with the transportation equipment himself to reduce domestic transportation pressure? No one thought of it!

Comrade Cao Dongfang has made another great contribution!

As for transporting grain from abroad, Cao Dongfang's 5000 cubic meters of transportation capacity is only 6000 to tons.

Only 800,000 tons of equipment were smuggled from April to November, but the amount converted into even less food was much lighter than the equipment.

Hundreds of thousands of tons of food in seven months is too little.

As for the nearby countries... the Great Elder shook his head and told them to be patient for a while. There shouldn't be any big fuss. The whole world knows that the country is short of food.

It is difficult to explain the large-scale food shortage of unknown origin. This is a critical moment for the country!

Be patient for a while, and you won’t have to endure it next year!

.......

"Dongfang, you have done a great job again this time. These equipments are almost worrying the people in the Second Elder's Administrative Council. The country is transporting food, and food shortages will kill people.

The transport capacity required for the equipment is too great, so it can only gather dust in the military warehouse. This time you are far away, and the problem is solved.

You may need to transport other supplies." said Mr. Wei.

Little things!

As long as you have time!
