The latest news from the Earlen Peninsula Duchy happened yesterday. Due to the potential improvement in Anna's cooking skills, Lu Li paid attention to the news about food prices.
Vegetable prices remained high, as did beef and lamb, while potatoes had also increased slightly in price due to their overuse as a substitute for vegetables.
Flour, aided by some capitalist merchants, was also trending upwards, but was timely prevented by the Earlen Peninsula Duchy's parliament and some nobles, barely maintaining stability.
It was said that in some countries far from the center in the inland areas, where upper echelon control was weak, flour prices had been driven to astonishing levels. With no vegetables available and meat unaffordable, even bread had become so expensive that only after toiling for hours could one barely fill one's stomach, igniting signs of unrest.
