The woman was amazed at the rice for 40 yuan, and after tasting it, she felt that it was worth the money
Introduction. A woman was trapped in a snowstorm on a highway in Hubei Province for 28 hours without a sip of water, and at the end, a neighbor offered 40 yuan a bowl of hot food**. Although some people say that he makes a lot of money, I still think that the farmer is very kind. People's buying mentality is often puzzling, sometimes the most expensive and delicious food is often unwanted, and the **cheap but common goods are favored. This also makes me think, how do we, the customers, judge the best of the product? Why should we doubt the good intentions of farmers? Below, I will put my thoughts and insights into it to let you understand the deeper issues.
Pricing & Valuation.
When valuing goods, it is often used as the main criterion. However, price is only one of the factors, environment, location, weather, etc. will have an impact on the valuation of the product. In the Hubei region, heavy snow covers the mountains, and the grain of farmers has become precious because of its scarcity. So, a meal for 40 yuan is a good response to this rare resource. Those who are skeptical of this may not have thought about how supply and demand would change in such a particular environment.
In addition, we can also understand the relationship between goods and services from a comparative point of view. Fine dining restaurants and brand-name products** in town are expensive, but that doesn't stop people from spending money. However, those farmers who sell food at low prices are also criticized by some. In the context of such a paradox, there are common problems in society, such as "valuing famous brands, valuing fame" and "being contemptuous". In fact, a meal of 40 yuan is very cheap, and it would be better if it could be sold for 100 yuan a meal. In this way, it can not only reduce the doubts of some people, but also make everyone pay more attention to this precious thing.
The income of the peasants' hard work.
Some people criticized that "farmers' grain buying and selling is immoral", which is an unfair treatment of their hard work. During special periods, farmers deliver hot food to stranded cars at home. This involves not only the cost of food, raw materials, etc., but also the cost and risk of labor. However, it is much simpler for farmers to calculate costs than when running a shop in the city, they just take into account the purchase** plus additional expenses. Therefore, in such a special environment, a 40 yuan meal is still very fair.
The law of the market economy and the relief of the whole people.
One is to advocate "free", that is, farmers should provide free food for disaster victims. However, such an understanding ignores the law governing the development of the market economy. It is much better to use finance to facilitate nationwide bailouts. After all, blindly using "morality" as a threat and letting others provide "free of charge" for oneself will not only fail to promote the development of society, but will also make people rebellious. The action of farmers to ** food is also a good thing in itself, with a proper income, they will be rewarded, so as to better meet their own needs.
Conclusion. This incident made me think about value judgment and consumption mentality. When a farmer gives away 40 yuan a meal, it is clear that this is a contempt for their hard work and an obsession with brand-name products. However, the value of a commodity is not entirely determined by its **, but by many aspects. At the same time, it is necessary to apply the rules of the market economy and use financial instruments to promote the development of disaster relief work, so that the people affected by the disaster can receive better assistance. Fourth, it is necessary to cherish and respect the fruits of peasants' hard work. In the process of purchasing goods, it is necessary to make a fair evaluation of the goods, rather than blindly chasing famous brands and fame, and be grateful for the kindness and dedication of others.
