Chapter 387: Big News

The Third Division Hospital of the Eighth Route Army.

The hospital has been having a bad time lately, the rations for the wounded are not guaranteed, and the nurses are hungry.

"There is still half of this bowl of millet porridge left, you go and give it to the seriously wounded over there, I will go back to the army tomorrow, I can find something to eat, let's use it for the seriously wounded first!"

A soldier who walked with a slight limp drank half a bowl of millet porridge and then said this to the nurse next to him.

The nurses looked strange and seemed to feel a little guilty, they could not even guarantee basic rations for the wounded.

But at this moment, a nurse hurriedly ran in and exclaimed in surprise:

"Sister Shen Yi is back!"

"Doctor Shen is back?"

"Yes, she also brought back a lot of food, but because we don't have enough manpower, we can't move it for a while."

The nurse cried out with surprise on her face, and when she saw more than 20 wagons pulling things over, she couldn't believe it was true.

As soon as a group of wounded people heard the news, they shouted to help carry their things, and the dead silence in the hospital suddenly became lively.

Shen Yi was also standing at the door at this time, she brought back a lot of things from Huangshui Town, including grain, locust powder, and more salted fish, after all, there were too many of them.

"Sister Shen Yi...... Dr. Shen ......"

A group of people couldn't help but greet her after seeing her, and even the dean walked out in surprise, looking at so many things, the sadness in the corners of his eyes dissipated by seven points.

"Xiao Shen, where did you get so much grain back?"

"It's all made by Li Feng, he won a big battle, and then organized people to catch a lot of fish, and there is another news that will spread soon, a new grain will appear soon, and I will also bring back a little bit."

Locusts are not acceptable for the time being, but for refugees who can't even eat, this locust powder is a treasure.

"No matter what it is, what Dr. Shen brought back is definitely not bad."

Of course it's not bad!

I heard that Dr. Shen's good friend is a fat man, and his mouth is very good, and he can't even put it in his mouth if it's not delicious, so he doesn't have to worry about the taste of this thing pulled back at all!

"And these salted fish should also be cleaned up as soon as possible, we are in too much hurry over there, let the soldiers of the cooking class hurry up and get them ready!"

"Okay, Doctor Shen, just look at it, even if I don't sleep today, I have to get this thing right."

A group of people came, hoping that it was like beating chicken blood, and the lunch at noon was changed, either a bowl full of wotou, or a bowl of thick millet porridge, and most importantly, there was fish to eat, and the taste of fish soup made some seriously injured people linger.

……

Danhe Town was soon handed over, and at this time, the Eighth Route Army also sent out a message, that is, the Eighth Route Army began to buy locusts, especially the common people in Henan, hoping to buy from them.

At this moment, everyone was puzzled, what was going on with the Eighth Route Army? Are they all stupid? Locusts are also collected!

Under the questioning of a group of reporters, a senior cadre of the Eighth Route Army, who did not want to be named, told some of the reasons.

That is, locusts are a kind of food, and according to scientific research, locusts can not only be eaten, but also have delicious meat and are not stingy with chicken.

The most important thing is that this kind of thing is also very nutritious, can cure night blindness, cure cough, and has medicinal functions.

If you grind it into flour, you can also make some steamed buns and other foods, although it tastes a little throat-burning, but it is absolutely not poisonous!

This news spread, and the underground party in Henan soon began to take action, spreading the news everywhere.

At first, no one cared, and no one believed that this thing could be eaten, but later some people who did not want to be named confirmed that the locusts could indeed be eaten, and that it tasted good.

At this time, some people began to be ready to move, this thing can be used as food, so it is not a big deal to buy a little.

The Eighth Route Army is a bunch of poor sticks, they buy it, they buy it, but why buy so much?

The reporters were still very suspicious, so some particularly gossipy reporters went to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and wanted to continue to cover the incident, and paid the price of several bottles of wine for this.

I finally got drunk with a senior cadre of the Eighth Route Army, and after some questioning, I got the news, that is, locust powder has a very powerful effect on the soldiers of the army, not only can accelerate the cultivation of their strong physique, long-term use can also eliminate night blindness, and fighting at night is undoubtedly a great weapon.

At this time, all the armies began to be calm, and even the devils became ready to move, and began to have different opinions about the locusts in the fields.

Locusts have become military supplies, and the price of this thing will be greatly increased, and to put it bluntly, it is very likely that you will make a fortune by selling this thing.

Some business-minded people quickly reacted and rushed to Henan, hoping to buy the locusts in advance and then resell them to the army.

It's a pity that the people of the Eighth Route Army arrived ahead of schedule and left after saying that some of the locusts had passed.

No one knows where the news came from, but there are a lot of speculators, all hoping to make a fortune at this time.

As soon as they heard that the yellow worms in the fields could be sold for money and exchanged for food, they were like ants, carrying baskets on their backs and going down to the fields, and they were as happy as seeing their own fathers.

The landlord Lao Cai originally thought that it would be okay to buy some yellow worms, but at this time they suddenly found that the price of grain seemed to have dropped a lot, and the grain in their granary seemed to be depreciating!

Get!

It doesn't matter if the grain is devalued, but they are the landlord class, and they will continue to exploit the people who grow sticks, and if the grain is devalued, they will not also be poor, so they must sell the grain quickly.

However, there was so much food on the market for a while, and the refugees may not be able to accept it, which undoubtedly accelerated the decline in food prices.

It doesn't matter, at this time, there are several great benevolent people here in Shanxi, and the one who takes the lead is Li Dashanren, as well as Xiao Dashan and Shen Dashanren, they are all actively buying grain.

The little fat man now finds that the price of grain has been cut in half, and if he does not buy it again, it is very likely to cause a rebound, and the market is not a fool, it is the most reflective of the actual situation.

The little fat man found that he had a lot of money on his account, but there was a lot of grain piled up in the granary, and he was not only satisfied at this time.

There is food at home, and there is no panic in my heart!

The common people have consumed a lot of food, after all, there are many people who think the same way, not to mention that there are many refugees in Henan.
