God, did you hear the cries of the people? Did you put away your hail and start the storm?

When you are finally tired and have had enough, take a rest.

People ran to the fields in unison. I also ran to take a look at my seedlings. Fortunately, the water in my rice field was closed due to fertilization, so the hail did not damage the seedlings. It was just the heavy rain that filled the fields.

The ice mixed with ice is not good for the seedlings, so I quickly put out the ice water. But I was worried that the sky would bring another hailstorm, so I didn’t dare to put out too much. It’s just a pity that my fertilizer is gone. I’ll put some more in it in two days.

Until then, I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. When I walked back with a relaxed mood, I heard the cries of passers-by on the road. I realized that some people's seedlings had been smashed.

Now it is too late to replenish the seedlings.

Some people cried that all their rapeseed crops had been beaten to pieces, and they would have no harvest this year.

Rapeseed! Oh, my rapeseed. I quickly ran up to see my rapeseed. Although I was mentally prepared for the "bad luck", I still fantasized and hoped that my rapeseed would not be damaged.

However, when I got to the dry fields, I knew I was wrong. Under the sky, no one was spared. The rapeseed fields in every household were as miserable as if they had been ravaged with sticks.

I also sat down beside my rapeseed field and burst into tears...

What happened this year? Just after the hailstorm, the price of fertilizers began to increase. And the price increases came one after another. It seemed that they had no intention of stopping.

I only found out about the "fertilizer price increase" when I went to pay someone back the fertilizer money they borrowed on credit.

In fact, the peas did not grow as planned, but the price this year was not bad, and I still managed to earn a gross income of nearly 400 yuan. Excluding buying film and wrapping seeds, grain seeds, and "planting small seedlings", the expenses

After losing more than 100 yuan, there are less than 300 yuan left.

At this time, the income from rapeseed has gone up in smoke. You have to pay back other people's money quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to find the money to pay back people after you have used it. This will cause you to lose your "credit".

When I came to the boss's store, I saw a cardboard sign hanging at his door. It said "Today's fertilizer price is eighty-five." No, "eighty-five" has been marked with an "X" next to it.

It says "ninety-two."

Boss: "Muyi, you're here."

I quickly handed over the two hundred yuan to the boss.

The boss said with a smile: "Muyi, you see you have saved twenty-four yuan."

Me: "Boss, why has the price of fertilizer increased so much? It has almost increased by 15%."

Boss: “I really don’t know what’s going on this year. I originally wanted to buy more fertilizer, but I didn’t dare to buy more when I saw the price increase. You don’t want to see the price increase from eighty to eighty-five, and then from eighty-five again.

To ninety-two. The price changes every day. I added two after ninety."

Me: "You mean you haven't made more money even though the price has increased?"

Boss: "I didn't make any money at first. Because the purchase price was high, the cost was high. A rising tide lifts all boats. But the latter point was a bit over the top. But I don't have much goods left."

Me: "Then you might as well buy more goods. That way you can make more money."

Boss: "Muyi, you're overthinking. Buy more, if the price rises and the price drops, I'll lose it all. That won't be a big loss."

Me: "Oh. This is the same."

…

After chatting for a while, I went back.

What I didn't expect was that the "fertilizer price increase" controversy became more and more intense. The price of fertilizer was like crazy. From 92 yuan, it went up all the way...

ninety five.

one hundred.

one hundred and ten.

The price rises one day at a time, and the increase is shocking. The increase is frightening. It took seven days to go from ninety-five to one hundred yuan.

In fact, when it exceeded 100 yuan, it had already exceeded people's expectations. It only lasted for two days, and the price exceeded 110 yuan. At this time, people had already started to go crazy! Everyone was trying their best to grab fertilizers and hoard them. The economy

Those who were better off bought ten or twenty packs, or even more. Those who were poorer also bought at least two or three packs.

People's crazy buying has added fuel to the fire on fertilizer prices.

One-hundred and fifteen.

one hundred twenty.

Over the course of a day, the price went up again.

One hundred twenty-five.

one hundred thirty.

Finally stopped.

Some people who sell fertilizers are complaining, and some are secretly having fun. Everyone who buys fertilizers is complaining. Those who buy fertilizers for less than 100 yuan are secretly having fun. Those who buy fertilizers for 130 yuan are crying miserably.

I just don’t know who this crazy price has helped and who it has destroyed.

Anyway, the price dropped a bit later.

First, the price dropped two by two, to one hundred and twenty yuan per pack. Finally, it dropped to one hundred and ten yuan per pack.

And it has remained stable.

I came here because I bought two packages of fertilizer and two packages of phosphate fertilizer on credit some time ago. I didn’t suffer from the price increase. But many people did. Usually, the price of fertilizer was 81 packages. When the price first increased, everyone was

They didn't pay much attention to it. They were all waiting and watching, with the mentality of taking another look and waiting. When the price exceeded 110 yuan, everyone became nervous and started buying.

You buy it, I buy it, he buys it, everyone buys it. The key is that you may not be able to buy it yet. The carts of fertilizers are quietly pulled up at night. As soon as they are pulled up, everyone swarms up like they are grabbing some treasure.

, and it was sold out instantly. The fertilizer was sold out in the carriage before it was even released to the stores.

This rush brought the price to a record high of 128 yuan.

Most people buy fertilizers for around 120 yuan, with an error of no more than 5 yuan.

If someone sees through this "opportunity" and accurately seizes this "opportunity" before the price increase, the purchase price of a pack of fertilizer is 80 RMB. In fact, I heard that the purchase cost before the price increase should be around 70 RMB. If the quantity

If it is big enough, the price will be lower. But considering that the "opportunity" appears, it will take some time and cost.

Just buy in at RMB 80 per pack and go out at RMB 115 per pack. The net profit per pack is RMB 35, one ton is twenty-five packs, the cost is RMB 2,000, and the profit is RMB 875. Ten

Ton, the cost is 20,000 yuan, and the profit is 8,750 yuan. One hundred tons, the cost is 200,000 yuan, and the profit is 87,500 yuan... It is really impossible to calculate in detail. The more you calculate, the more terrifying you become, and the more you calculate, the more frightened you become.

!

Since hail is a natural disaster, everyone can only blame God for being ignorant. But the increase in the price of fertilizers is a man-made disaster. What can ordinary people do? They cannot not buy it, but they must also find ways to rush to buy it.

.

Life still has to go on. Everyone chops up the beaten rapeseed directly in the field. Ask the cattle master to plow the field, paste the field edges in advance, and put the water in. Then we are ready to start "planting big rice seedlings."

Since many people's "small rice crops" were also killed by hail, there was a situation of "rice rice stealing".

This was "very bad" news. It spread quickly.

We also became nervous. In order to prevent the big rice seedlings from being stolen.

Some people began to set up "thatched sheds" beside their own rice fields and began to "guard the rice fields." This was also an "unprecedented" thing.

I couldn't afford to guard it by myself, and I didn't have the materials, so I went to discuss with Aunt Wenying's house. We planned to work together to provide materials and help people. We built a shed and sent one person to guard the house every night. This way, it would be better for everyone to take turns.

Otherwise, if you stay up late every day, you really won’t be able to endure it alone.

My idea coincided with Aunt Wenying's. Aunt Wenying went to unite three families. In this way, we all made a wooden stick as a family, carried it to the field, and put it on my bean box.

It is a grass shed. The bottom is made of two long and two short four-section wooden sticks to form a rectangle and tightened with iron wire. The two ends are then tied with two short wooden sticks and the iron wire is tied diagonally into a herringbone shape.

Use long pieces of wood, all tied up with wire, and tightened with vise. Then use long bamboo tubes to build a simple "bed" on the bottom wood, and spread dry grain straw on top to form a "bed". Then continue to use bamboo fences
