Liang Jian: I have a canteen

On September 10th, the first phase of the Hundred Regiment War ended. The central task was to destroy the traffic on Zhengtai Road.

This mission can be said to have been successfully completed, which caused huge trouble for the Japanese traffic. However, due to the blockade of information, ordinary people did not know about it, and they still numbly continued to struggle to survive in this troubled world.

Instead of caring about how many roads and railways the Eighth Route Army had destroyed, what they were most concerned about at the moment was the price of food.

This morning, food prices rose slightly again.

Since the past few days, the price of food has been rising slightly.

This is understandable, after all, Taiyuan City had just been bombarded by the Eighth Route Army, and I heard that several high-ranking officials were killed.

The current rise in food prices must be related to this.

When there is a war, it is normal to stockpile food. Didn't I hear Mr. Shu say that once the city is besieged, food from outside cannot be transported in, and it will not be possible to eat, and starving to death will be nothing more than a common thing. I
Combined with the Japanese's large-scale purchases, the people couldn't help but think too much, so the people of Taiyuan City also joined the army of grain purchasers.

In fact, the grain stocks in Taiyuan are quite sufficient, but there is no reason for these treacherous grain merchants not to raise prices when they see the people making panic purchases.

After a small increase, the second largest newspaper in Taiyuan City began to serialize a story novel.

Although the story has not yet unfolded, the people of Taiyuan City were brought into it with just the opening chapter of two thousand words.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the world was in chaos, warlords were fighting, and the people were in dire straits.

Due to the war, no one cares about the cultivated land, which has caused a significant reduction in grain production across the country. Coupled with a locust plague, the grain harvest in Zhongzhou has almost disappeared, and grain prices have also skyrocketed.

The high food prices have discouraged the common people from organizing groups to go out of the city to dig wild vegetables and eat under trees to satisfy their hunger.

It is such a simple story background that seems to allow the people of Taiyuan City to see themselves in the future, and also seem to see the direction of rising food prices.

As a result, some people who originally had a wait-and-see attitude couldn't help but buy some.

On Sunday, Xu San did not go to work and stayed in the office cleaning with Miyako. The late autumn sun shines down, making it warm and comfortable.

Wang Zhenzhen did not come today, and was sent home by Xu San to revise the manuscript, because the pace of his manuscript was a bit slow, and if he did not produce useful information, he would easily lose readers.

Miyako also enjoyed this holiday atmosphere. She and Xu San were cleaning up the house carelessly, discussing what was useless and could be thrown away or given away. What was useful but would not be used for a while, where to put it.

The priority time passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. Just when Miyako was about to prepare lunch, there was a knock on the front door of the office.

who?

If you come to visit us at this time, you are obviously here to have a meal.

Xu San muttered as he opened the door.

Standing at the door is a short girl with single eyelids. She must be sixteen or seventeen years old. She looks very innocent, but from the look of her face, she looks like a Japanese.

"Hello, is this the residence of Mr. Edogawa Conan?"

The little girl asked politely, using Japanese with a clear and sweet voice, clear enunciation and no accent.

With her simple voice, this little girl made a good impression on Xu San.

"I am! Excuse me, who are you?" Xu San asked.

"My name is Hattori Reiko, please take care of me!" The little girl bowed and introduced herself.

I don’t know whether it’s because of my age or the sequelae of being impotent, but I feel like my body is getting weaker and weaker now.

That's all for today. (End of chapter)
