The coarse grain was just some corn flour.
It could be made into cornbread, but the taste was difficult to describe in words. Moreover, it was very difficult to swallow. It was usually eaten with rice soup.
The cold cornbread was as hard as a rock, the kind that couldn't be chewed on.
Not to mention the white flour in the fine grain, which was flour, the powder ground from wheat.
A catty of white flour was only 0.18 yuan, but a thin grain ticket alone cost three yuan.
Similarly, the price of one jin of white flour at the grain store was almost equal to the price of the food stamps.
It seemed that the impact of the natural disasters in the past three years was too great.
It was no wonder that in his previous life, there was a data saying that if the grain production decreased by 1%, the price of grain would skyrocket by 460%.
Because no one wanted to starve to death because they couldn't buy food. The consequences of crazily snatching food would cause the price of food to skyrocket.
Therefore, the reason why the later generations respected Elder Yuan so much was because hybrid rice could produce 30% more rice.
One could imagine how great this achievement was!
From the memories of his original body, he had also heard the elders in his family say that more than ten years ago, a large number of unscrupulous capitalists in the capital had jointly raised the price of food by several times. The poor people could only sell their children for a mouthful of food, and they were miserable.
Although the food stamp policy was a little troublesome, it ensured that the capitalists could not hoard and raise prices.
At the same time, he could at least ensure that he had something to eat and not starve to death.
"Looks like I have to buy some seeds to plant as soon as possible!”
Jia Geng thought to himself.
The amount of food in the family was not enough to eat.
The grain station would give the corresponding number of food stamps according to the quota of each household.
To buy food at a designated grain station, one had to spend the corresponding food stamps and money.
For example, Qin Huairu's monthly ration was 20 catties of coarse grain, 5 catties of coarse grain, and 2 catties of fine grain.
It was also because of the natural disasters in the past three years that the grain production had decreased. The rations of all the families had decreased compared to before.
He was a primary school student, so the quota was half as much.
His two younger sisters were even fewer. As his grandmother was a rural resident, there was no quota.
If there was not enough food, they could only spend money to buy food.
The grain station would give a family of four food stamps based on their total ration.
Of course, the family still had one catty of meat and half a catty of fuel every month.
However, they were usually sold by Qin Huairu in exchange for food.
Fortunately, his mother usually did not need food stamps to eat in the canteen of the rolling mill. She only needed to spend money to buy a meal ticket. Of course, it was only for an adult.
Therefore, a family of five could barely eat half full.
A ration of less than 30 catties of food might not be enough for the people of the future to eat in a month.
That was because the people of the future still had a lot of non-staple food, snacks, drinks, and so on.
And the people of this era only had this much in a month.
Jia Geng understood that only by doubling the ration could he be considered barely full.
Soon, he discovered that someone was selling rabbits while investigating the market price.
A man dressed in shabby clothes, dressed like a farmer, was leading a cage.
Inside the cage was a rabbit.
The rabbit wasn't big either, probably only two catties.
Because farmers did not have food capital or food stamps, they usually used their farm products to exchange for food stamps or money in the black market.
At this moment, someone came to ask about the price.
"How much is this rabbit?"
"Four yuan per catty."
"Weigh it for me."
"Okay, look, two catties and two taels."
"Here."
Seeing the two of them complete the transaction, Jia Geng was ecstatic.
This rabbit was alive and cost 4 RMB per catty. In that case, ten rabbits in his space would be worth at least 100 RMB.
Soon, he knew why rabbit meat was so expensive.
That was because he had just seen someone trade for a hostage.
A pound of meat actually cost 6 yuan.
Jia Geng was stunned.
The pork in the meat market was only 0.68 yuan per catty.
A pound of pork cost 6.68 yuan.
It was no wonder that the monthly ration of pork at home was changed by his mother.
Since he had one catty of pork at home, he could exchange it for six catties of coarse grain.
To be honest, a pound of pork was not even enough for Jia Geng to eat.
Six catties of coarse grain was enough for a family of five to eat for a few days.
After all, it was better than starving to death.
Jia Geng took out a bag. This bag was the bag used to store food at home.
Since this pocket was empty, he wanted to use it to store rabbits.
With a thought, a rabbit appeared in his pocket.
As soon as it was displayed, someone came to ask about the price.
"How much is this rabbit?"
Jia Geng didn't expect someone to come so soon, so he said,""4 RMB per catty."
"It's a little too expensive. How about 3.50 yuan?”The person tried to bargain.
Jia Geng would never agree!
