248. Price increase of peanut oil
The fish pond in Xue An's backyard has been dug for several days.
During this time, grandma and Wang Hongxia were taking care of it. They also asked Huang Mao and the others to bring spring water from the mountain. When they were done, they would also go to the creek on the mountainside to pick up some pebbles and throw them into the water.
At the bottom of the pond, lay it on top to improve the water quality.
When I showed the drawings to Zhong Qiuyun two days ago, I heard her say that the current seafood production is so-so, but top-quality seafood is still very difficult to produce.
Xue An is short of money now. Since he has dug this fish pond, he will try to see if he can raise some fish.
Zhong Qiuyun said that as long as the fish tastes delicious, the price is not a problem and there are many customers who are willing to eat it.
Now the Peace Hotel has become a small town and one of the must-visit check-in points for foreign tourists.
Those appetizing vegetables have been widely spread in various food anchor circles.
After eating too many vegetables, they also want to eat the seafood in this town.
Had breakfast.
Xue An arrived at the fish pond, looked into the water, and immediately noticed that there were densely packed fish roe in it.
This startled him.
He released some fish fry some time ago, and recently, as long as Rhubarb catches fish, he will throw them into the fish pond if they are not dead.
Unexpectedly, there are so many fish roe in it now.
The magic techniques in Xue An's hands kept changing, and the wood spirit suddenly spread out.
The spiritual liquid of the Wood Spirit fell into the pond, and suddenly countless small fish fry as big as soybeans were seen in the water, frantically grabbing the spiritual liquid to devour it.
There are thousands of these small fry.
Xue An was overjoyed. If all these little fry grow up, there will definitely be a huge amount.
I just don’t know if this wood spirit is effective on plants or on the fish in the water.
If it works, will the meat of these fish be much more delicious than other fish, just like this fruit tree?
…………
When they arrived at the front yard, Brother Xiaofei and the others had just packed the fruit and were about to deliver it to the store in the town. Xue An followed the car and went up.
When I got into the passenger seat, I saw many large oil drums in the second row.
"Why do you bring so many oil barrels?" Xue An asked curiously.
"Brother, you don't know if you're not a family member. Didn't the price of peanut oil increase recently? There are more people in the family now. Grandpa Qi and the others want me to buy some peanut oil from the town. There are a lot of people when these families get together.
." Brother Xiao Fei said with a smile.
"Is peanut oil so difficult to buy now? Do you need to go to town to buy so much at once?" Xue An was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have heard his grandma discussing with Wang Hongxia, saying that the price of peanut oil has increased dramatically recently.
Basically, few people in the village eat salad oil from outside. They are accustomed to eating rapeseed oil or peanut oil, and in most cases, everyone prefers to eat peanut oil.
"It's really strange. There is obviously a bumper harvest of peanuts this year. I really don't know why the price of peanut oil has increased so much." Brother Xiaofei said in confusion.
It's now September, which is the time for the peanut harvest. Xue An has also seen that many households in the village have a bumper harvest of peanuts. Logically speaking, the price of peanut oil should not increase.
Xue An followed Brother Xiaofei and the others to the store and helped move the fruits to the warehouse. The business of the fruit store has been very stable recently, and the daily sales are very stable.
The turnover is usually tens of thousands, and occasionally hundreds of thousands, which is unmatched by any other products on this street.
The sales are stable every day. Although this is not all the profits in the end, Xue An's current flow is at least normal. With this money, he can do many things. Originally, Xue An was going to buy some farm tools. After giving them away,
After picking up the fruits, they asked Xiaofei Ge to drive with them to the grain and oil wholesale market in the town.
Brother Xiaofei said with some confusion: "Anzi, what are you doing here?"
"It's okay. You buy yours. You go get some oil. I'll take a look around." Xue An smiled and followed them into this small grain and oil wholesale market.
When passing a grain and oil store, Xiaofei and the others took out the big oil drum and started looking for merchants to buy oil.
When the shop owner saw Xue An and the others came in, carrying large oil drums in their hands, he immediately greeted them with small faces and asked politely: "What kind of oil do you want to buy?"
"What kind of oil are you selling?" Xue An asked.
"I have all kinds of oils, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil... basically everything you want, I have it," the boss said enthusiastically.
Xue An continued to ask him: "What about this price?"
The boss continued to explain: "The price mainly depends on how much you want to buy. There are cheap ones and expensive ones. The cheaper ones are soybean oil and rapeseed oil, and the more expensive ones are peanut oil."
"How much does your rapeseed oil cost per pound?"
"Rapeseed oil costs nine yuan a pound."
"Then how much does a pound of peanut oil cost?"
"Peanut oil is slightly more expensive, costing 16 yuan per pound."
Brother Xiaofei and the others were quite surprised and said: "This one is so different. They bought it for only 12 yuan a pound a few days ago."
The boss quickly explained: "Brother, this peanut oil is much more delicious than rapeseed oil, and the price has indeed risen a bit recently."
"Boss, since this peanut oil is so good, do you harvest peanuts?" The reason why Xue An asked this was mainly because he accidentally heard that there was a bumper harvest of peanuts in the village two days ago, but the price seemed not to be high, even now.
So far, no one has come to the village to collect it. If they want to sell it, they can only use a tractor to pull it to the town and sell it.
This is a waste of labor and will also increase shipping costs.
Just now in the car, Xue An heard Brother Xiaofei and the others say that the price of peanut oil had increased, so Xue An wanted to visit this grain and oil wholesale market, and maybe he could help them.
It's a pity that this boss is not familiar with him, and I have asked several companies, but to no avail.
Through the discussion I just had with the owners of those stores, I found out that this year's peanuts are not sold, and it is not just their village. Several other villages now have this problem.
"Anzi, what did you tell the boss about the supply and demand relationship in the market economy just now? What is this and what is it?" Brother Xiaofei asked curiously.
"To put it simply, for example, in the past few years, everyone was growing corn and no one was growing peanuts. But everyone has always needed peanut oil, and the demand for peanuts has always been so much. So this year's peanut price
It will definitely be high. But if everyone grows peanuts this year, there will be a lot of peanuts and the oil factory cannot use so many peanuts, then the peanuts will definitely not be sold, and the price will be relatively low." Xue An explained.
"Anzi, it's better to have read a book. You will understand these truths as soon as you explain them. It turns out that this is the market economy that is often mentioned in the news. I must let my children study hard in the future." Brother Xiaofei said with a look of admiration.
