Food is the first priority for the people, and the level of consumption is mainly reflected in food, clothing, housing and transportation. The food in Xinjiang is always very high. In some prefectures, the staple food of Xinjiang, noodles, is generally 15 or 6 yuan.

The price in the county town is higher, reaching 18 yuan+, and the delicious food is 20 yuan+, which is even more expensive than Urumqi. In terms of clothing, clothes, pants, and shoes in the county town, it is slightly cheaper than Urumqi.

Specifically analyzing the consumption level in Xinjiang, it can be divided into three echelons.

The first echelon: Karamay, Korla, and Southern Xinjiang Oilfield.

The consumption in these places is equivalent to that of developed cities in southern China.

The second echelon is Urumqi, Changji, Shihezi, Hami, Kuitun, Yining, Kashgar, Aksu, Bole, Manas, Shawan, and Hutubi.

The consumption level in these places is equivalent to that of developed cities in the north.

The third tier: small cities and towns in Xinjiang, etc. The consumption level in these places is equivalent to that of the average consumption level in the mainland, which is higher. Except that the houses in these places are cheaper, other consumption is almost the same as that in the second tier.

Especially in Karamay, which is known as "oil devil" by Xinjiang people, it costs 120 to 150 yuan to eat a large plate of chicken, which is made from ordinary three-yellow chicken. In Urumqi, it costs about 90 to 120 yuan. In comparison, most areas in Xinjiang are

This price.

I am in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang. Prices here have been rising since last summer. In the past, you could buy a kilogram of mutton for 55 yuan. Now you can’t buy mutton if you don’t pay more than 70 yuan. Last year, grass carp was 16 yuan per kilogram.

This year it is 22 yuan per kilogram. Nowadays, one kilogram of grass carp is 19 yuan, three-yellow chicken is 25 yuan per kilogram, and native chicken is 45 yuan per kilogram. It is not authentic native chicken. Is this expensive enough?

A portion of fried rice noodles costs 18 yuan.

A bowl of beef noodles with clear soup is 10 yuan, a Pi Yazi naan, which is electric grilled, is 5 yuan, the cheapest skewer of barbecue is 5 yuan, and a portion of cold noodles is 10 yuan, which is the cheapest meal.

.

The cheapest noodle dish is 15 yuan, and some of them are 12 yuan. I haven’t eaten them even once.

The cheapest minced meat pilaf is 15 yuan, depending on the location. It can contain several dices of mutton.

Those vegetarian pilafs are almost gone, because if you want to eat them, the boss will say there are no vegetarian pilafs.

This is the three-juice stewed pot set meal I had on July 4, 2018. One portion costs 239 yuan for 4 people. With two bowls of rice, the price per meal is 241 yuan, which is 60 yuan per person.

Therefore, the average home-cooked meal in Xinjiang costs 60 yuan per person.

What I had was not a big meal. The cheapest self-service hot pot now is 89 yuan per person for lunch. You can also order food from Meituan. If you pay directly in cash, it is more expensive, 105 yuan per person, which is the normal price.

Take a look at what people in Xinjiang say: a large portion of chicken is 88 for a medium portion and 138 for a large portion.

In the past, the maximum price for a meal out for five people was 30, but now it is 50.

Let’s take a look at what outsiders think of Xinjiang’s consumption level: I’m from Shanxi and came to Xinjiang on a business trip. I recently visited some large and small supermarkets and found that the price of Shanxi Fenjiu in Urumqi is really too high. For example: 53-degree Fenjiu.

, 38 yuan a bottle in Shanxi, but 58 yuan a bottle in Urumqi; Chunroufen wine, 68 yuan a bottle in Shanxi, 149 yuan a bottle in Urumqi, I feel that the price level in Xinjiang is indeed high.

Therefore, Xinjiang’s consumption is high and income is low, but food is the most expensive thing.

A home-cooked Chinese meal for a family costs at least around RMB 80-90 per person. Without this price, you won’t be able to eat it at all, unless you just eat beef noodles and cold noodles.
