    ¡°Okay, buy more green vegetables except okra, and less starch-containing things.

    That¡¯s probably what it means.

    Wait a minute, let me calculate the price!  "

    Liu Zhiming had good understanding and quickly summarized Qiao Mu¡¯s requirements, and then started to calculate the total price using the computer on his mobile phone based on the price list just sent to him by the proprietress of the fruit shop.

    After about seven or eight minutes, Liu Zhiming raised his head and said again: "How much vegetables should I buy?"

    Those four green vegetables grandma just mentioned.

    Is it enough to buy 100 kilograms of each kind?  "

    ¡°One hundred catties of four kinds, that¡¯s four hundred catties.

    How long will it take to eat four hundred kilograms of vegetables?  "

    So far, Su Wenjuan has not been able to change her past grocery shopping habit.

    ¡°As someone who used to buy less than two kilograms of vegetables every time I went to the supermarket, more than four hundred kilograms of vegetables is simply an unimaginable figure.

    But if it were someone from the north.

    ??Maybe it¡¯s too little.

    ¡°Mom, times have changed, okay?

    Can it be compared with the past? In the past, four hundred kilograms of vegetables was a lot, but is four hundred kilograms of vegetables a lot now?

    We just ate two kilograms in one meal.

    Our family eats freely. We need at least five or six kilograms of vegetables a day. More than four hundred kilograms of vegetables can only be eaten for three months at most. It is only December now.

    Three months later, it will be just after the Chinese New Year, and the weather will probably only get warmer by then.

    Didn¡¯t you read the news? Didn¡¯t the news report say that this kind of weather may become regular weather in the future? This also means that the winter here may become as long as that in the north.

    So, isn¡¯t it normal to stock up on vegetables like in the north? If you stock up less, you won¡¯t be able to eat enough.

    Besides, it¡¯s so cold outside.

    Frozen vegetables will not spoil if left outside.  "

    Faced with the stubbornness of his old mother, Liu Zhiming could only explain to his mother the truth and reason.

    I hope I can talk things through to his mother.

    "Yes, the weather is indeed like this.

    Just buy this amount.  "

    Qiao Mu also echoed from the side.

    "But what if fresh vegetables arrive after a while? When I bought that small diesel generator, I was worried about power outages in the future. But now the electricity is not transported well, which shows that the government's capabilities are quite strong.  of.

    The food basket will definitely not be left alone.

    Moreover, people in the north now don¡¯t just rely on stocking up on vegetables before winter. Don¡¯t they also have fresh vegetables for sale in supermarkets? Even if we turn to the north this winter, there will definitely be vegetables for sale in the future. It will be great to buy fresh ones then.  .  "

    Su Wenjuan also continued to speak stubbornly.

    ¡°Mom, why can¡¯t you make sense?

    Do you know how many greenhouses were damaged by the heavy snow? Do you know that many of the fresh vegetables in the north are shipped from places like ours? It will take a long time just to rebuild the greenhouses here.  time, not to mention replanting various greenhouse vegetables.

    ¡°Besides, you don¡¯t look at the prices. You don¡¯t look at the price of bean sprouts sold in supermarkets now. The price of bean sprouts that originally cost less than one yuan per catty has now increased to seven or eight yuan per catty.

    And it¡¯s very popular.

    Wait for some time for vegetables and the like to come out.

    Are you really willing to buy it?

    By then it may be more expensive than the price of meat.  "

    After discovering that the previous reason was not enough, Liu Zhiming immediately changed his reason to a new one.

    I want to get around the price.

    ¡°Then how much does your shepherd¡¯s purse cost per pound?

    And how much is a pound of asparagus?  "

    "Uhten yuan a pound."

    "According to your opinion, if there are really fresh shepherd's purses for sale in a while, the price will be 30 to 41 pounds?"

    When it comes to this, Liu Zhiming is stuck.

    In the end, Qiao Mu acted as the peacemaker and said:

    ¡°Hey, okay, let¡¯s each take a step back.

    For those four kinds of vegetables, just buy thirty kilograms of each. For the other mentioned varieties, just buy three or two kilograms of each. I think even if fresh vegetables cannot be transported, frozen vegetables should be able to be transported.

    Maybe it will take some time.

    You can also see people setting up stalls to sell!  "

    Qiao Mu has said so, and Su Wenjuan can¡¯t help it anymore.I refused, so I could only nod in agreement.

    Then let Liu Zhiming tell the number.

    She transferred the money to him.

    After that, of course, it¡¯s time to pay and pick up the goods.

    And at around 7 o'clock in the evening, when they returned from picking up the goods, they also made some frozen strawberries, pineapple, blanched spinach and blanched asparagus to satisfy their cravings.

    In the next few days, their food was obviously richer than before. Finally, it was no longer just meat, but a combination of meat and vegetables.

    There are three dishes and one soup.

    At the same time, the food of other people has actually improved slightly, because Qiao Mu guessed it right. When fresh vegetables were out of stock, the local county government did make some efforts and introduced a lot of them from other places.  Frozen vegetables.

    In this weather, transporting fresh vegetables may require excellent insulation facilities to prevent them from freezing. However, if you transport frozen vegetables, you can transport them in any vehicle, and you don¡¯t even need the cold chain transportation that was required in the past.  .

    So not long after buying frozen vegetables and fruits at Qiaomu¡¯s store, supermarkets in various places began to sell frozen vegetables and fruits.

    Another half month has passed.

    There are indeed roadside stalls, and there are people selling frozen fruits, vegetables and even popsicles at roadside stalls. It really has northern characteristics.

    Fortunately, the price they sold it for was slightly more expensive than the price Liu Zhiming paid for it, so Liu Zhiming was less scolded by his mother.

    As the situation stabilizes.

    The days passed by slowly.

    At the same time, many people's wallets have gradually tightened, and they have begun to consciously control their food intake. Many people have even tried to sell the houses they bought with loans, or directly cut off the mortgage payment.

    There is no way, the price rise during this period has been too serious. The Engel coefficient of many people has skyrocketed. Vegetables costing seven to eight yuan or more than ten yuan per catty have risen to nearly twenty yuan per catty.  Breeding chickens, ducks, and eight or ninety-one pounds of pork were quite difficult for everyone.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Its sheers she can only eat rice and noodles, which are still barely stable in terms of price increase, to make a living,¡± she said.

    Those who can't bear it and still want to eat vegetables, meat and fruits will of course have a sharp increase in daily household consumption. Those who are burdened with mortgage and car loans originally had to save money and food after paying off the mortgage and car loans, but now they can't stand it even more.  .

    For a while, many people could only live with their old age, because many young people had no savings at all.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    The scariest thing is that these days will not pass soon. Even if the weather warms up, prices will be difficult to drop. Vegetables may decline appropriately, but prices of chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs will be difficult to drop.

    Because of the sudden outbreak of this cold wave, it can be said that almost 70% to 80% of the domestic livestock were frozen to death. Not to mention the breeding plants in the cold zone, almost all of them were wiped out. Most of the breeding farms in the temperate zone were also wiped out, and only those in the tropical zone were wiped out.  Most of those farms have survived.

    With so many livestock dying, it will definitely take time to recover. Chickens, ducks and geese are okay, and they can probably recover within a year or two, but pigs will be difficult to recover without three or four years.

    The most important thing is that as this kind of weather becomes routine in the future, the buildings and internal heating equipment of major breeding farms will definitely need to be upgraded. The annual power consumption will also soar sharply.  Cold weather, difficulty in growing various plants and other factors are added together, and the cost of breeding will inevitably rise rapidly.

    It would be nice if the price doesn¡¯t increase then.

    Not to mention the price drop.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
