Recently, scallions from the northwest have become popular on the Internet. The fire has also caused its price to skyrocket, reaching 50 yuan per pound, which has even stopped some people. When I first saw scallions, I was confused. For me, scallions were unheard of as a vegetable, and I didn’t understand what kind of vegetable it was compared to meat. The price is still expensive.

Then I went to check some information. Onion is a wild allium plant that grows in the northwest region. Its appearance is somewhat similar to leeks, but its taste is a bit like a combination of onions and leeks. Body, that is to say, it has the taste of leeks and chives. It is also called wild onion. Unlike wild onions, wild onions are flat in shape, while sand onions are cylindrical. The latter is also larger in appearance. In terms of color, wild onions are dark green while sand onions are emerald green. There will be some differences more or less.

In fact, scallions are often seen in the northwest. Generally speaking, scallions are used to scramble eggs, or they are used for cold salad, and can be placed in mutton as a side dish. This section At that time, the price of scallions was also very high. The highest selling price was 50 yuan per pound, but the supply was still in short supply. The reason why there was such a high price was because of the high cost of transportation, and because the scallions were relatively fresh. If they are young and left for a long time, they will turn yellow and become inedible, which will also affect sales. Because it needs to be kept fresh, it needs to be transported by cold chain during transportation. Therefore, the cost of transporting the onions is very high, and the transportation in the northwest is not convenient, so it needs to be transported by air, and it also needs to be refrigerated. If the chain is kept fresh and then sold in supermarkets, if a lot of service fees are added in the middle, and if the selling price is low, then you will not make much money at all.

The owner of the store is doing business, and he cannot only do loss-making business. He spends so long on the road and the cost is so high, so the price he sells will naturally be high. .
