On September 10, the first phase of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments ended, and the central task was to destroy the traffic on Zhengtai Road.

This task can be said to have been successfully completed, which has brought huge trouble to the transportation of the devils, but due to the blockade of the news, ordinary people do not know, and they still numb and continue 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 have risen a little more.

Since the last few days, this food price has been rising slightly.

This is understandable, after all, Taiyuan City has just been bombarded by the Eighth Route and a few cannons, and I heard that several senior officials have been killed.

The rise in food prices today must have something to do with this.

If there is going to be a war, it is normal to store grain, I haven't heard Mr. Storyteller say, once the city is besieged, the grain from outside cannot be transported in, and it is only a common thing to be starved to death when the time comes. I

Combined with the large number of purchases of devils, the people couldn't help but think about it, so the people of Taiyuan City also joined the army of buying grain.

In fact, the grain stored too far away is quite sufficient, but there is no treacherous business, seeing the panic purchase of the common people, how can these treacherous grain merchants not increase the price.

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

Although the story has not yet begun, just a two-thousand-word opening chapter has brought the people of Taiyuan City into it.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the world was in turmoil, warlords were fighting, and the people were struggling to make a living.

Due to the war, no one cared about the cultivated land, which greatly reduced the grain production of the whole country, coupled with a locust plague, the grain harvest in Zhongzhou was almost wiped out, and the grain price also broke through the sky.

The high price of food discouraged the common people from forming groups to go out of the city to dig wild vegetables and feed their hunger through the trees.

It is such a simple story background that seems to let the people of Taiyuan City see their future selves 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 to clean up with Miazi.

The late autumn sun shines down, and it is warm and comfortable.

Wang Zhenzhen didn't come today, and was sent home by Xu San to revise the manuscript, because the pace of his manuscript is a bit slow, and if he doesn't produce dry goods, it is easy to lose readers.

Mi Yazi also enjoyed this atmosphere of holiday leisure, and cleaned up the house carelessly with Xu San, discussing that it was useless, it could be thrown away or given away, those were useful, but they would not be used for a while, and where they needed to be placed.

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

Who?

At this time, I came to visit the door, which is obviously to rub the rice.

Xu San muttered as he opened the door.

Standing at the door was a little girl with a single eyelid who was not tall, she should be sixteen or seventeen years old, and her appearance was very pure, but from her face, she looked like a Dongying person.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Conan's residence in Edogawa?"

The little girl asked politely, in Japanese, her voice was very crisp and pleasant, the words were clear, and there was 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 Reiko Hattori, please take care of me!" The little girl bowed and introduced herself.

I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, or because of the sequelae of impotence, I feel like this body is getting weaker and weaker.

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