Peasants selling eggs

 

Words of the peasants: Rice was sold 0.72 yuan per jin (half a kilo) in 1981, and now it's 0.73 yuan. In 1981 the yield per mu was 1000 jin or so, but the input has been increased greatly. The leaf tobacco was sold 4 yuan per jin in 1981, and now even the best one can only be sold for 5 yuan. Egg was sold for 2.5 yuan per jin in 1981, and now its price has decreased to 2.2 yuan. (Note: In 1981 one dollar could be exchanged for  3 yuan or more, but now for 8 yuan or more).
