After potato prices hit a historic low of 2 yuan last month, they’ve skyrocketed in a violent rebound—almost 10x in a month, straight up to 18.5. But there’s still 3x room to go before reaching the all-time high of 52 yuan set in 2023. I quickly ran to the supermarket downstairs to buy a bag of real potatoes. While you’re all hoarding gold bars, smart me has already secured a whole bag of fries for my kid’s future ✌️
