Chapter 32: The era of potatoes is coming!

Disasters are terrible, people's hearts are even more terrible, and people's hearts are even more terrible when hunger are even more terrible.

Fortunately, in recent years, the country has been vigorously promoting the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes, so although the price of potatoes and sweet potatoes has doubled several times, it is not unacceptable. Everyone can barely afford it and afford it.

Therefore, there are not many people who are so poor that they can’t afford to buy potatoes and sweet potatoes. They are all moonlight clans who don’t have elders at home, or gangsters who are really poor!

Of course, there are also people who are poor due to illness.

Although these people have caused certain safety hazards to the county town, the police and urban management are not vegetarians and can have some effect.

Therefore, after less than three days of chaos, the unrest was quickly suppressed and some inventory was transferred from several nearby grain stations to provide relief, and at least the root of the unrest was extinguished in time.

However, if the temperature cannot rise, I am afraid that even if there is inventory for relief, it will not last long.

Because at this time, no one would starve to death, but the panic in his heart and the feeling of despair for the future became stronger and stronger.

No good news comes again, and some people are probably about to have a psychological collapse.

...

Chinchilla planting and breeding integrated base

After Cui Ming took his grandmother and Old Man Liu over and placed them, he has been busy assembling a controlled cold nuclear fusion power station.

After all, although the materials in stock, various charcoal resources, and even power generation equipment are enough for them to last for a long time, Cui Mingshi is worried that there is no power station that can be used for more than a hundred years, so he must seize all the time and allow the controllable cold nuclear fusion power station to be successfully completed in the shortest time. Only in this way can he do other things with peace of mind.

On this day, the tenth day of the New Year's Day, on the tenth day after the cold wave on New Year's Eve, Cui Ming finally received a good news from the Totoro, and quickly put down his work and told his grandmother.

"Grandma, grandma, there is good news!

The temperature in Southeast Asia has begun to gradually rise. Just this morning, the temperature in several tropical island countries has risen to minus ten degrees Celsius. According to this rate, the temperature here should also rise to within three to five days!"

Cui Ming ran into the house excitedly and saw his grandmother sitting beside the bed, and hurriedly said.

Old Mrs. Cui was sitting on the bed chatting with her best friend Old Mrs. Mei. When she heard Cui Ming suddenly screaming, her face was also happy:

"Really? The temperature is about to rise!

This is really the best news I have heard this year. Did Meizi hear it? My eldest grandson said that the temperature rose in two days!

Now that's great, your vegetable greenhouse can finally be planted again. The price of vegetables outside is really outrageous. If you grow a little, you can subsidize the losses this year if you sell the vegetables!

By the way, I have to listen to me this time. I will buy more charcoal and buy a kang. I am not afraid of 10,000 yuan, but I am afraid that if I want it, who knows whether it will cool down again in the future.

Okay, I won’t tell you anymore. My grandson is here, let’s talk back and forth!"

While smiling and giving advice, the old lady Cui had already hung up the video communication. Then she put down her phone, stood up, ran to Cui Ming in a short stroll, and asked about some details.

Cui Ming was used to his grandmother's fashion, so he was not surprised. He explained the information he collected directly to his grandmother, but finally mentioned again:

"Grandma, although the temperature may rise after a while, it does not mean that it will not fall any further. The weather is really not good, so don't think about going back or something. Just stay here with me!

What foods are used here?

There are several robots who can help you to serve you. You can enjoy it comfortably and don’t think about the things you have or not!

Moreover, according to my estimate, there should be no hope for the food this year, so the chaos may be coming, so you can stay with me with peace of mind!”

"I know, do you think I'm stupid?

My grandma, I have also planted the fields. In this ghost weather, it would be good to have 30% of the food harvest. Although auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, such thick snow, let alone a good harvest, I guess I won’t even have a poor year!

By the way, since it's so cold, the things in your field have not frozen to death. Otherwise, you should not plant those vegetables and fruits this year, just a variety of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and a variety of potatoes and sweet potatoes can be sold at a cheaper price, which is also a merit!

Anyway, we can't finish it!

You don’t know how expensive the vegetables outside are, how crazy the price of rice and flour is. Fortunately, your aunt Mei’s family has a lot of stocks of grain. Those who don’t have stocks of food at home will have to spend half a year’s savings, and even half a year’s savings just by eating in these ten days!”

Old Mrs. Cui gave Cui Ming a blank look and said that she was not stupid, so how could she have a good life, but she had to go back and live a hard life.

It is indeed quite convenient to stay in the village and chat with each other, but now you have a cell phone, so everyone has video chats.

What's more, Cui Ming took many employees' families some time ago, and many of the employees' families were older. Old Mrs. Cui was the same when chatting with them, and she could make new friends!

"Grandma, just think it through!

As for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes, you don’t have to worry. I have handed over the production methods of the warm-keeping materials and temperature-regulating equipment I use to the country. I believe that the country will definitely find ways to build more similar farms!

However, I have also been studying soilless planting and three-dimensional planting recently. In addition, there are some breakthroughs in plant nutrients, so when the temperature is slightly better in two days, I will find a way to order multiple potatoes and sweet potatoes on the farm!”

While comforting his grandmother, Cui Ming was still thinking about whether to sell the latest batch of vegetables that had grown up as high as the price.

In fact, the surge in vegetable prices outside has nothing to do with Cui Ming, and it is not that Cui Ming deliberately raised the price.

In fact, the prices of vegetables on their side are relatively low compared to the whole country. If Cui Ming's farm had not been providing fresh vegetables to their county towns in recent days, I'm afraid the prices of fresh vegetables on their county towns would have doubled a few times.

Therefore, Cui Ming was not the culprit for the soaring vegetable prices, but also stabilized the vegetable prices in their county to a certain extent.

For example, in the north, which has reached more than minus 70 degrees Celsius, you can’t buy fresh vegetables and fruits even if you take money, gold and jewelry. You can buy frozen ones, but you can’t even think about the fresh ones.
