Chapter 2730: Sakura Life
The continued decline of the cherry blossom coins made the cherry blossom people complain.
Originally, 100 cherry blossom coins can be imported into one pound of meat to process a sausage.
Now I also process a sausage, and I will cost more than 170 cherry blossom coins.
Unless the Sakura people take the initiative to reduce their appetite, they must ask for 70% more money on any product.
70% of it seems that nothing is scary.
But it's terrifying to calculate carefully.
For example, if you earn 10,000 yuan a month, your daily expenses are originally enough, and you can still have 7,000 yuan left every month to do something else.
But after increasing the cost by 70%, you have to pay an extra 2,100 yuan for daily expenses. The only thing you can have to leave every month is 4,900 yuan, and this 4,900 yuan is not the 4,900 yuan it used to be. You can only Buy 30% of the previous product.
This is still a high income. What if your income is only 3,000 yuan?
The increase in expenses of 70% can directly prevent you from even maintaining your daily expenses. You can only live by turning three meals into two meals without any consumption activities.
A few days later.
As the senior executives of Sakura Country collectively remained silent and did nothing, the exchange rate of Sakura Coin once dropped to a level of 200 to 1.
This has caused all the people of cherry blossoms to panic.
In Jiangdong District, Yingdu, there was already a 100-meter-long queue in the supermarket at 6 o'clock in the morning.
Full-time wife Hideko Sato held her wrinkled shopping list and stared at the notice "Two boxes of eggs today" posted on the glass door.
I remember three weeks ago, I could buy five boxes at the same price.
The old man in front suddenly fainted. When the first responders took him away, the scattered flyers were printed with "Rally protesting against the surge in prices - Big Bartender Park 12:00 on Sunday."
Sato Eiko felt very upset. Although the sun was very sunny, she still sighed.
Sato Eiko finally grabbed the last pack of discounted oolong noodles, and her nails made white marks on the plastic packaging.
The white-collar worker Junji Nakamura standing in front of the cashier was putting the bento back - the 880 cherry blossom coins plum rice balls were higher than his hourly salary. Today he plans to use white rice as free tea for the company, so that he can save some money.
A female student working in a convenience store secretly stuffed the rice balls out of date into her schoolbag. The manager pretended not to see it. He knew that the female student hadn't had a full meal for several days.
The sudden drop in exchange rate disrupted everyone's pace of life.
After buying things, Sato Eiko went home.
She hesitated for a long time before she sighed and took out her daughter's violin and came to a pawn shop.
However, when Sato Eiko arrived at the pawn shop, her scalp was numb and she noticed that it was crowded with housewives.
Many housewives pawned their diamond rings, jewelry, etc. in tears.
When Sato Hideko held the violin in front of the boss, she saw half a moldy salmon rice ball stuffed into the piano box - it was the lunch money that her daughter secretly saved.
The boss held a cigarette in his mouth, looked down at the violin, and said disdainfully, "Sorry, we only collect gold bars and US dollars here now. All the others are inappropriate."
Sato Hideko held the koto in despair and left in shame.
When passing by a port, Sato Hideko happened to encounter a scalper who reselled the country's currency and was pressed to the ground by plainclothes police.
When I turned around, I saw a mountain of containers on the port terminal but no one unloaded the goods - because the importer would rather pay the stranded fee than wait for the Sakura Coin to continue to depreciate.
The homeless man under the tree on the roadside was receiving water from the park fountain, and the fire was still ripe, preparing to cook expired instant noodles picked from the convenience store.
In Sato Hideko's opinion, everything is so ridiculous and sad.
She was clearly in a good life a week ago, but why did she suddenly become like this?
When he got home, Sato Hideko found that her husband had returned.
"Why did you go home so early? Dear." Sato Hideko asked with concern.
The decadent husband took a deep breath: "Wife, I, I've been laid off."
This news is like a bolt from the blue.
Sato Eiko barely held her smile and comforted her: "It's okay, I'll just look for it when I've lost my job. Life will continue, right?"
The husband didn't say anything.
Both of them knew in their hearts how difficult it would be to find a job in the near future.
A large number of students from prestigious universities still cannot find jobs, let alone those who are unemployed at the age of 35, like him.
"I'll cook for you, don't worry about getting angry, it will always get through."
The gentle Hideko Sato comforted.
My husband was having a very uncomfortable meal.
In the past, there was at least one meat dish such as fish, chicken, pork, etc. for each meal in their family. Vegetables and fruit after meals were also essential.
But what rice did Sato Eiko cook today?
The cookies were broken and put into the rice, plus a bowl of soup made with snacks and seaweed.
There is no meat, no vegetables, no fruit, not even a raw egg!
"Can you give me an egg and add some soy sauce?" the husband complained slightly.
"If you eat it, your daughter will have nothing to eat. Be patient." Sato Eiko sighed.
When the husband heard this, he didn't say anything.
Soon, his daughter Liang Senlingling returned home.
"Mom, I have to pay the tuition and school uniform fees this semester."
Liangmori Lingling blinked her innocent big eyes and hugged Sato Hideko with a smile.
Sato Hideko glanced at her husband, but her husband lowered his head sadly.
After paying this month's mortgage and car loan, he no longer has any spare money.
What's more, he was fired by the company.
He really didn't know how to explain to his daughter.
"How much does it cost?" Sato Eiko suppressed the pain in her heart and forced a smile to ask.
"1.43 million." Liang Senlingling said.
"Why are there so many?"
Sato Hideko gasped.
1.43 million Sakura Coin, if the previous exchange rate is shorted, it will be 143,000 Great Xia Coin! ! !
"The teacher said it was the school's decision. It seemed that the school had to raise the price because of the exchange rate issue." Liang Sen Lingling said.
"Okay, you have dinner first, I'll go get the money with your dad."
Sato Eiko pulled her husband Ken Ryomori to the room and closed the door.
"Husband, can you borrow some money? We can save everything else, but the money for children to go to school cannot be saved!" said Hideko Sato.
"This is probably difficult, and everyone's life is not easy now. There are many people who have been laid off, and even if they still have jobs, most of them have lowered their salaries.
You also know what kind of bird look like when the cherry blossom coins are recently low.
Wife, why don’t you... let Lingling change schools and go to a cheaper public school. ”
Liang Senjian said helplessly.
Liang Sen Lingling is now attending a private school and the tuition fee is high.
Public primary schools are in the compulsory education stage, and the tuition is almost free, but parents need to bear some miscellaneous fees and textbook fees, and the average annual total cost is about 540,000 Sakura coins.
"It will cost 540,000 to change schools. It is not a solution to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. We have to find a way to make money." Sato Hideko said helplessly.
"I'll go to a convenience store or a fast food restaurant tomorrow. I'll work two more jobs." Liang Senjian said.
"But Lingling's tuition will have to be paid tomorrow. We can't wait for your salary day. Even if we wait, how much money will you make after working for a month?"
Sato Hideko's eyes were red.
She married Liang Senjian at the age of 18. It has been 7 years since she was still there and has never been a flirting with him because of money.
Sato Hideko claims to be a woman who does not worship money. Even if she lives a little poor, she never compares money with others.
But today, for the sake of her daughter, she began to dislike her husband for not being able to make money.
Sato Hideko felt a little incredible and felt extremely painful inside.
She really doesn't want to have conflicts with her beloved husband for money.
"Private Marseille..."
Liang Senjian lowered his head.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked in and looked up and down with a smile...
