Doomsday Rebirth: I Have a Farm

Chapter 42 The Wise Grandpa

The Chu family is on the mountain, there is no shortage of food and drink, and it feels isolated from the world.It was several days later when Dad Chu learned that people in the village had stored food.

This is because Dad Chu learned about the sharp rise in food prices from the news, and only after asking the village chief did he know that everyone in the village has already stockpiled a round of food, and now they may not be able to buy food.

The four elders in the family became nervous in an instant, Zhang Luo wanted to go out to buy food, but was stopped by Chu Yu.

Chu Yu had experienced the panic buying of grain this time. At that time, he remembered that at the end of the rush, a catty of rice and flour cost 100 yuan.

Vegetables are even more terrifying. Vegetables in greenhouses or fields all wither due to high temperature and water shortage, and the vegetables that can survive are green vegetables in some experimental bases.When a catty of green leafy vegetables was the highest, it reached five or six hundred.

But such crazy food prices did not last long. The country quickly took action to rectify the situation, opening warehouses to release grain, and the price of food was forced back to normal prices. Most of the merchants who sold high-priced food and vegetables were fined and bankrupt.

Some who were unwilling to pay fines were also sentenced to prison. Chu Yu heard that one person was sentenced to 15 years in prison because of too many fines.

But no matter how we whitewash the peace, the food crisis still exists.

Under the policy of forcibly lowering prices and opening warehouses to release grain, only three months have passed. Because the population of the whole country can eat too much and the stored grain is consumed too quickly, the country can only distribute grain in a limited amount.If you continue to eat like this, the stored grain will have to be finished in a year.

After the limit, although food prices did not rise as crazy as the first time, they still increased slowly and uncontrollably.

When the high temperature passed and winter came, more and more people died of starvation because there was not enough food. At that time, money was worthless, and life-saving food could not be measured by money. Many people chose to barter.

Chu Yu has truly experienced what it is like to starve and die everywhere.

Chu Yu has a farm, so although he doesn't have to worry about running out of food, he still needs to find a reasonable reason for his food.

Stockpiling grain is a good idea, but not after the first food crisis.

He wants to wait for the price of grain to be suppressed forcibly, and those who spend a lot of money to hoard grain will definitely regret it. If he goes to buy it at a normal price, someone will definitely be willing to resell some to him.

It's just that Chu Yu knew that food prices would drop, but his family didn't.

Chu Ma looked at Chu Yu who was blocking them with a sullen expression, and waved the feather duster in her hand, saying, "Give me a reasonable reason, or today I will let you experience the fate of being the last one in the exam when you were young."

Chu Yu took a few steps back vigilantly, and tried to persuade him: "It has been reported on TV that the price of food will be regulated, and the price will be lowered soon. Mom, don't you believe me, don't you believe in the country?"

"That's it, who knows when the regulation will be made. If we wait until next year to replant the grain and then regulate after the harvest, what will we eat and drink the northwest wind for a year and a half?"

"How could it take so long? As long as the country opens warehouses to release grain, the price of grain will definitely recover. I think that by August [-]rd at the latest, if we wait another three days, the price of grain will definitely drop.

Mom, think about it, if the price of grain drops to the normal price, those people in the village who bought grain at a high price will definitely feel sorry for the money. When we store grain at a low price, the villagers will definitely sell it to us. "

"The price of food is normal, what food do we need to stockpile? Are you contradicting yourself?" The feather duster in Chu Ma's hand was about to move.

"Why don't you stockpile grain? If the temperature is still high next year, you won't be able to grow grain?" Chu Yu stepped back a few steps.

"Can you think of others but not? Can you be sure that the people in the village will sell you grain at a low price?"

"If you don't try it, how will you know it won't work. Even if they don't sell it, we won't lose money if we store up grain at normal grain prices."

"Then if next year is a bumper harvest year, what's the point of us hoarding grain?"

"Yeah, it doesn't make sense, so why are you spending a lot of money to stockpile food now?"

"..."

As she spoke, Chu's mother realized that she was fainted by herself.Frowning and thinking for three seconds, he suddenly waved the feather duster in his hand: "No, if we don't stockpile grain, we will have a good harvest next year. If there is no harvest next year, if we don't stockpile grain now, we will be hungry. All money is needed.”

"..." This time it was Chu Yu's turn to be speechless.How to say this, I have to start from the beginning again.

After Chu Yu and Chu Ma fought for [-] rounds, and it took half an hour, Chu Yu finally persuaded Chu Ma. Three days later, on August [-], if the country still did not regulate grain prices, Chu Yu would no longer stop her Chu Ma stockpiled food.

Chu Yu only cared about fighting wits and courage with Chu's mother, but ignored her grandparents.

At night, grandparents closed the door and secretly discussed.

"Old man, will the country really regulate grain prices?" Grandma asked in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, but it is not certain whether the price of food will drop. There is not enough food now. If the price of food is forced to drop, no one will sell the food.

Those grain merchants hold the grain in their own hands, and the price of grain will still rise, maybe it will rise even higher.If there is still no harvest next year, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food.

We can't listen to Chu Yu. Since there are still people selling food, we have to rush to grab some.How much money do we have now? "

"Our money has been paid off to Chutian, and you are the only one who hasn't received this month's salary."

"Five thousand should be able to buy some food. Ask Chu Yi to withdraw the money tomorrow, don't tell them what to do, Chu Yu will definitely stop us.

Let's buy some quietly, and when the price of food on the [-]rd has not dropped, Chu Yu won't stop his parents from hoarding food. "

"Row."

……

Grandpa and grandma have heard of bank card fraud before, and Dad Chu will take out the monthly salary.

When grandma asked Dad Chu to collect his salary the next day, the whole family didn't notice anything was wrong.

In the afternoon, grandparents said they would go back to the old house to get some things, and Dad Chu wanted to accompany them, and they were scolded by grandpa, saying that Dad Chu thought they were old and couldn't even get anything.

Father Chu was scolded for no reason, and watched helplessly as the two old men supported each other and went down the mountain.

In the evening, grandparents hadn't come back yet, and Chu's father and mother were about to go out to look for them. Wang Jin drove a small tricycle, pulled five bags, and went up the mountain with his grandparents.

"Uncle, aunt, I brought you three bags of rice and two bags of flour. Second master and mistress, be careful."

Wang Jin parked the car and greeted the bewildered father and mother of Chu. Seeing that grandparents were trembling and about to get out of the car, she hurried to help them.

Chu's father and Chu's mother also hurried over to help their grandparents get out of the car. Chu Yu stood by the door and didn't really want to go there.

Chu Ma looked at the five bags of rice noodles in the car, looked at Wang Jin puzzled, and asked with a smile, "Wang Jin, what's going on?"

"Don't you know?" Wang Jin was a little surprised and looked at his grandparents.
