Although Fang Ya hadn't experienced this kind of thing yet, she had never eaten pork and had always seen pigs run, so she knew what Mrs. Cruise and her teacher Fang Hongjian were doing next door, so she naturally understood why Mrs. Cruise sent Anne here today. To be honest, if it had been the same as before, she would have despised Mrs. Cruise and Fang Hongji, but the things she had experienced in the past few days made her gradually understand that some things were not as important as she imagined, and some things were far more important than she imagined.

So she hurriedly grabbed Anne and dissuaded: "Anne, don't go over, your mother is not uncomfortable now, but ......" Speaking of this, she didn't know how to explain.

But little Anne was still innocently asking, "Since Mom is not uncomfortable, why is she humming?" ”

Fortunately, at this time, Fang Ya had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and explained: "This, this, in fact, Mr. Fang is giving your mother an injection, you think, you must inevitably hum when you get an injection, right?" ”

Little Anne nodded and echoed as if she didn't understand: "Oh, the injection, that's sure to hum, I cried last time I got the injection, but why did my mother take so long to get the injection this time?" ”

"Maybe your mother's illness is more serious." Fang Ya stubbornly explained. Then he changed the topic and said, "Okay, okay, it's not too early, let's go to bed first." ”

But in fact, Fang Ya couldn't sleep at all next, firstly because the voice next door was getting louder and more unscrupulous, and on the other hand, because Fang Ya was thinking about what she should do in the future? She could understand why Mrs. Cruise was doing this, and she was in a similar situation to hers, so should she too? Thinking of this, she was so confused that she didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

On the second day, Fang Honggradually took Mrs. Cruise, oh no, she should be called Jessica now, and reintroduced to the women, because Fang Hongjian really had too many women, so everyone was not surprised, only Wang Jiazhi teased: "Master, I don't care how many women you accept, but now there are more and more people in this family, but the rice that can be bought is getting less and less, so you have to think of a way." ”

Since the Japanese army occupied the concession, it began to implement the so-called "affordable rice" purchase restriction policy, that is, each person can only buy three liters per day with a citizen card, and the price is as high as four yuan in legal currency, and more than three liters are not allowed to be carried. This kind of purchase restriction policy has seriously affected the lives of citizens, so the queue to buy cheap rice has become longer and longer, and the price of black market rice has even risen to 170 yuan per stone. (If you watch spy war dramas in this period, you will often see scenes queuing up to buy rice, which is for this reason.) ）

Due to the Japanese army's declaration of war on Britain and the United States, Shanghai's shipping was completely cut off, and foreign rice could not enter at all, while the Central Plains region was extremely short of food because of the severe drought that broke out in the Huayuankou incident, so cheap rice gradually began to have the momentum of sitting on the mountain and eating nothing. In order to alleviate this situation, the Japanese army adopted a gradual contraction method, with a gradual reduction in the number of sales, an increase in selling prices, and a significant decline in quality.

At the beginning of this year, 1942, the Japanese army ordered the reduction and consolidation of all rice shops, stipulating that the number of rice shops in the concession area would be reduced from more than 700 to 250, and that 125 of them should be designated to sell rice at a low price.

At the same time, in order to prevent one person from buying more than one person, it is stipulated that anyone who buys cheap rice must color his finger, on Monday it is the thumb, Tuesday is the index finger, Thursday is the middle finger, Friday is the ring finger, Saturday is the tail finger, and Wednesday and Sunday stop selling.

In March, the price of rice was changed to Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the original three litres per person was changed to one litre of white rice and one litre of broken rice per person, but the broken rice was clearly mixed with sediment and black grains, supposedly because the Japanese were cleaning up the warehouses.

Fortunately, Fang Hong gradually learned the news in advance, so he hoarded a large amount of food at home early, and did not report it truthfully when the material control department investigated, so the Fang family definitely did not have a food shortage, but with more and more people in the clinic, especially these people still have no citizen certificates, they can't buy rice at all, so the phenomenon of sitting on the mountain and eating empty mountains began to appear, so today Wang Jiazhi took advantage of Jessica's mother and daughter to mention it to Fang Hong.

No matter when it is, eating is the first priority, so Fang Hong gradually went out to think about how to solve this matter after settling Jessica's mother and daughter.

Buying rice at a rice shop will definitely not solve the problem, the queue there can be dizzy, and Fang Hongjian can't afford to lose that person to queue up.

So he went directly to the material control department to find Yang Hui, intending to solve the problem fundamentally. Unexpectedly, after listening to his words, Yang Hui scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "Mr. Fang, it's not that I can't handle this matter for you, but I'm all making a fuss here, I remember that you don't have a good relationship with Captain Kameda, you can just ask him to buy black market rice, he wants as much as he wants, and it's all good rice." ”

"Isn't the black market rice all those countrymen pouring it up? Two days ago, I saw several rice sellers who were bitten by wolf dogs, but why did they become Kameda selling them again? Fang Hong asked in confusion.

Yang Hui looked left and right for a moment, then approached Fang Hong and whispered: "Mr. Fang, do you think, who has the most food in the whole of Shanghai now?" Of course it's the Japanese! And Captain Kameda is now in charge of the grain depot, how much grain do you think he has there? And you think all that black market rice really comes from the countryside? How is that possible! Now that the harvest is failing, where is there so much black market rice? In fact, at least half of it was privately released by these Japanese petty officials. It's just that when the above investigation was strict, they caught a few unlucky ones as scapegoats and sold them as soon as the news passed. I'm telling you, they've made a fortune on this! ”

PS:I used the number of the Yunhua Pavilion Lord to open an infinite stream of "History of Literature with the Lesson",It's to travel into the world of various language textbooks.,It's a brain hole that I think I'm very proud of.,At present, I've finished writing "Kong Yiji" and "Peacock Flying Southeast.,Of course, because the book was only released yesterday.,So there's only three chapters at present.,Please help collect it.。

In addition, please don't worry about opening a new book that will affect this Fang Hongji, because I am now relying on this book to earn some pocket money......
