Douluo's Fancy Development Blue Silver Grass

Chapter 225 The Crisis of Rapid Expansion

In the early morning, in the baking room of Soto City, the fat boss was looking sad at the burning oven.

His eyes were fixed on the loaves of bread as they were baking, hoping to see them turn golden brown and crispy.

However, he knew in his heart that this was impossible.

Because the quality of the current flour is getting worse and worse, the original white flour is now somewhat mixed with sand and impurities.

How can you bake high-quality bread like this?

The boss moaned over the latest batch of flour that came in.

As a last resort, I found a fine gong for sifting flour, and slowly sifted the flour.

While sifting, he muttered, "This is all the fault of those greedy businessmen. In order to make money, they do not hesitate to adulterate and reduce the amount, so that we ordinary people cannot eat good food."

An hour later, the sun was bright, and housewives took to the streets to buy today's food.

"Take a look at the freshly baked bread. My lady, would you like some of today's white bread?"

The owner picked up a large tray filled with bread of all shapes and flavors. He vigorously held the tray forward, trying to attract the attention of customers with the aroma of freshly baked wheat.

The housewife hesitated and took out a few copper coins to buy bread. Although the family's finances were already stretched after the incident not long ago, it was not so bad that they ate black bread.

She picked up a round white loaf and pinched it lightly. She felt a different feeling coming from between her fingers, and she frowned.

I thought to myself: "Today's bread is still not as soft as in the past, and life is getting worse and worse."

The bread exuding the aroma of wheat and with a crispy crust was put into a paper bag and entered the housewife's vegetable basket.

Following the slow steps of the housewife, she slowly came to his home.

She walked down a street and saw some soldiers in uniform patrolling. She quickly lowered her head, avoiding their piercing gaze.

She thought to herself, "It hasn't been safe here since that lottery incident. Who knows what will happen when?"

She finally arrived at the hut where she lived. She pushed open the door and walked inside. She saw her husband and two children were up and sitting at the dining table waiting for her.

She smiled and put the basket in the kitchen, then took out the bread, ready to make breakfast for them.

With the waving of the table knife, the bread was cut into thin slices and placed on the porcelain plate, waiting for the family members who just woke up to taste its deliciousness.

The family was extremely silent during the morning meal, and the aftermath of the previous turmoil was still affecting everyone's lives.

It was supposed to be a family looking for something happy, but the warmth of exchanging feelings was as cold as the cold wind in winter.

The head of the family finally couldn't bear the terrible silence, and began to find something to say.

"The days are getting worse and worse. The white bread, which used to be soft and delicious, now also contains some chaff and impurities, and it is no longer as soft as before."

The man picked up the bread knife, carefully cut off a small piece of butter and spread it on the bread. The rich fat has changed the taste of the bread, making this somewhat rough white bread taste as delicious as it used to be.

He passed the bread and butter to his wife and children. However, he saw the helplessness and disappointment on their faces.

He knew they all missed the good old days, the days of great food and buzz.

He missed those days too, but he couldn't say it. He can only grit his teeth, continue to work hard, and live for this family.

The same thing is happening all over the city. Some astute people have discovered that something is wrong, but most people are still numb by the cruel reality.

They don't know that in the not-too-distant future, a greater change will take place in this city, which will plunge all of them into deep despair.

The Shrek Academy on the outskirts of the city was just as gloomy as the city.

Since the last time the citizens stormed the gate of Shrek Academy, Flender cleverly used all kinds of sundries to disguise it as a dilapidated ruin.

Although this can avoid being harassed by angry residents again, Flender must also find a way to maintain the livelihood of Shrek Academy.

Flender had to let these students enter the dangerous forest to collect herbs and soul beast resources.

It has to be said that Flender has a wealth of experience in survival, and his choice also played an important role in enabling Shrek Academy to tide over the difficulties in the coming days.

At lunch time, head chef Shao Xin served today's dishes.

There are some desserts made of stewed animal meat and roasted fruits, cold skin and gluten sprinkled with spices.

Although Shao Xin is a food-type soul master, his cooking skills are unparalleled.

He can turn the most common ingredients into the most delicious dishes, so that students can taste a little warmth even in a difficult environment.

"Teacher, why is Liangpi for lunch again today?" Fei Jinyue couldn't help asking after eating Liangpi for several days.

This girl likes to eat all kinds of delicacies, and she is tired of the monotonous thing like Liangpi.

"Little girl, you wouldn't ask such stupid questions if you'd gone to the kitchen to see what the flour was in those sacks."

Shao Xin replied impatiently. He knew that Fei Jinyue was not malicious, but just too curious.

But he can't let her know the truth, it will only make her more worried and scared.

Shao Xin is worthy of being a qualified cook, even in such a harsh environment, he still has a way to turn flour into delicious dishes that can be eaten.

The method of Liangpi uses water to wash away the gravel and impurities, ensure the quality of starch, and extract delicious gluten from it.

It can be said that Shrek Academy's ability to survive until now has such a big relationship with this top food-type martial soul master.

Fei Jinyue was so stunned that she had nothing to say, so she could only suck on the Liangpi silently.

The students are still there happily eating their food. They don't know what's going on outside, they only know that they still have teachers and classmates, and a hot meal.

Their wish is very simple, to have a meal, preferably a meal of meat, and the recent plan to ask for a living from the forest just meets all their needs.

Thanks to the gift of the forest, some animal meat and vanilla can always be produced, and after those resources are sold, they can still be exchanged for some poor-quality flour from the market.

But Flender gradually realized that something was wrong. The price of resources is getting lower and lower, but the price of food is rising strangely all the way. It is obvious that the harvest season is approaching, which is abnormal.

Flender had an ominous premonition in his heart, he felt that a big change was about to take place in this city, and Shrek Academy couldn't stay out of it.

As the dean of Shrek Academy, he had to make some preparations.

"Old Zhao, you should take the money and go to the village outside after a while. It won't work like this. In a few days, I suspect that we won't be able to buy food anymore."

Flender said these words to the burly Zao Wou-Ki with a worried expression on his face.

Zhao Wou-ki clasped his arms in front of his chest, nodded, and didn't say much. Even with a nerve as thick as he is, he can still feel the city that is being supported now. There is a hidden crisis under the seemingly calm atmosphere.

Reaching out to take the coin bag that Flender had ordered, he looked at the lonely silver coins inside. Zhao Wuji secretly sighed.

He nodded to Flender. With rough steps, he walked out of the gate of Shrek Academy and rushed towards the countryside farther away.

Along the road, Zao Wou-ki kept seeing those grain merchants with small carts returning disappointed, their faces were full of disappointment.

This made him feel more and more uneasy.

When coming near the village. Zhao Wuji keenly heard the conversations of the villagers, the content of which surprised this powerful soul master.

Even the villages, where cities are almost the only source of food, have no food.
