Chapter 486 - Stabilizing Food Prices

When it was almost time to do so, the men stopped the people behind them, and waited for some of the people who had bought grain in front of them to leave before allowing the next group to enter.

As I said earlier, because of the severity of the disaster, the people not only could not buy food, but also had no money in their hands.

Now that I see two pennies a pound of grain, I naturally want to buy cheaper.

However, they don't know what will happen to this new grain.

There are many people who buy potato noodles, dried vegetables, and other miscellaneous grains and take them back to try.

There are also those who are so poor that they really have no spare money, and they all buy potato noodles.

The Zheng family is still quite humane.

Considering that it was hard and cold for them to queue up all night on a big winter day, he stipulated that as long as they brought their identity tags, one person could buy the whole family's amount.

Therefore, some families have a large population, and one person can buy several catties, so they have more choices.

But then again, the Zheng family said that there was enough food, and the people were of course happy in their hearts.

But after being happy and calming down, they were still worried about the authenticity of the Zheng family's words.

Does this Zheng family really have enough food?

The people at the back of the queue are still extremely apprehensive.

And the people in front are also worried, do they want to queue up all night tomorrow?

If you don't queue up, what if you go late and can't buy it?

Therefore, after buying food, many people did not leave in a hurry, but waited outside to see the sales of the Zheng family after that.

The people waited and waited, watching those people go in with empty cloth bags and come out with bulging cloth bags, and their faces were full of smiles.

And so on until all the people in line were happy to buy food.

Obviously, they were extremely satisfied with the results.

But the vast majority of people still dare not skip the queue.

Basically, it was decided to wait for another two days to try it and see how it went.

The people who left after buying food naturally spread the good news that the Zheng family had enough food to let more people know.

In this way, it spread to the ears of most of the people in the county.

Inside Zheng's grain shop.

After their own food is guaranteed, some people are concerned about the situation in other counties.

"Then do the Zheng's grain stores in other counties also have enough food? My family has relatives in Qingqu County, where the disaster is more severe, and there is no harvest and food is even more scarce," she said.

The guy has already been informed, so he naturally knows how to answer, "Don't worry, there are all of them, from today on, as long as it is Zheng's grain shop, it will be open to all the people."

Of course, each prefecture is only responsible for its own prefecture, and if there are other prefectures and prefectures here, let them go home. ”

"That's okay, I'll let the relatives who fled go back, after all, we don't have enough ourselves."

。。。

There is plenty of food, that's great news.

Within half a day, the people of the entire county knew about it.

Hearing that the Zheng family actually had two pennies and a pound of grain, the people were pleasantly surprised.

Isn't this the price of brown rice noodles in the past?

Buy!

Even if you add a little bit to the rice soup every time, you can fill your stomach with one more portion.

Moreover, many poor people have even thought of ways to earn a little money.

That is to buy your daily share and sell it to others at a high price.

In this way, even if you earn a penny per catty, it is still half a catty of potato noodles, which can cook several bowls of paste, which is much stronger than two bowls of rice soup.

After all, half a pound a day can't be completely full.

Some families have a little extra money, so they naturally want to eat more, or stock up on some surplus food in case of emergency.

In the future, many low-level people relied on reselling the Zheng family's grain to survive this natural disaster.

Of course, this is a later story, so I won't say it here.

The Zheng family has food.

It was not only the people who got the news, but also the grain merchants.

With the Zheng family's low-priced grain, who will buy their high-priced grain?

Unless there is so much money in the family that there is nowhere to spend it.

As a result, the food they had hoarded in their hands would not be sold at all.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that the Zheng family has made some new varieties of potato noodles and dried vegetables, and there is still enough food, and now it is open to all the people, so the food in our store cannot be sold, what should I do?"

"What can I do? I don't know what to do! This Zheng family is really capable, and they can still get so much food for them.

But who knows how much water is in it! Let's not believe it, no matter how powerful their Zheng family is, it is just a family, and it can grow food that satisfies the people of the entire north? I don't know..."

"Uncle, what should I do, I heard..."

"I've also heard that if you want to say that the Zheng family really has so much food, I don't believe it, maybe they are withdrawing their future shares in advance and releasing false news, just to force us to reduce the price.

Let's take a look, let them sell for a while, and then sell all the grain, so that the Zheng family has no grain to sell.

At that time, hmph, even if our price doubles again, there will be people who will buy it. ”

"Shopkeeper, have you heard, the Zheng family... We can't sell more than ten catties a day now, what if we really want to go on like this! Why don't we lower the price a little bit too? ”

"Alas, I don't know where the Zheng family got the grain, or deliberately deceived us and asked us to reduce the price of the trick, and wait a few more days, if it keeps being like this, we can only reduce the price."

"Sixth son, take the identity sticker, go to the Zheng family to see what the situation is, and buy some new grain by the way to see what it is."

"Shopkeeper Liang, what do you think of the situation of the Zheng family? Being so messed up by them, we grain merchants have no money, and we can't sell any grain..."

"Hmph, this can't be true, it must be the Zheng family who are playing tricks, and waiting, if you can't sell it, you can put it away temporarily, and the grain is not worried about selling it at any time."

"But, Lao Liang, you can really sell it, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to sell it in the future! After all, the grain in our hands is also collected at a high price, and we can't afford to sell it cheaply. ”

"Not to mention the sale of grain, will we still accept this grain outside? If the Zheng family really has food, we are afraid that we will have to sell it at a high price and sell it at a low price in the future, so it is better to..."

"Collect it, why don't you take it, anyway, I don't believe they have food."

"I won't take it, I'm cowardly."

"Me too."

"I'll wait a few more days and see how it goes."

。。。

Such conversations keep appearing in the mouths of the vendors.

Does the Zheng family really have enough food?

Nature is fake.

Some people guessed correctly, some people were worried, and some people were jealous and could only watch the next dynamics of the Zheng family.

It's a pity that in the next few days, the Zheng family is always open for purchase.

Except for some people who have surplus money or surplus food at home, most people buy almost every day.

There are three kinds of people who are the purchasers.

One is a little bit of money.

The other is just self-sufficient.

There is also one that can't even afford half a catty per person per day.

The last one, after buying, will sell a part of it at a high price to earn the difference.
