The next morning, when Ling Ping woke up, he saw an unread text message on his phone.

"The grapes are ripe...... he looked at the text message, which was sent by Uncle Zhang, the village chief of his hometown on the outskirts of the city.

said one thing - the grapes in the village were ripe, and asked if he wanted to leave him a few dozen catties as in previous years.

This is certainly a must.

Ling Ping'an immediately replied with a text message: "Uncle Zhang, please help me keep about fifty pounds......

The grapes of my hometown are first-class!

Especially when used to make sake, it is a great one!

Although Ling Ping'an doesn't drink, his aunt likes it.

It didn't take long for the text messages from there to come again.

Uncle Zhang: Okay!

Ling Ping'an picked up his phone and hurriedly began to wash.

He had to rush back today to get the grapes.

Considering that it just rained yesterday, we have to hurry.

Otherwise, if the grapes are left for a long time, they may spoil, and it will affect the taste of the final wine!

Walking to the staircase, the kitten Best was already waiting.

"Little obedient ......" Ling Ping'an picked it up: "How about we go to our hometown in the suburbs today?" ”

"There are so many vines and strawberry fields over there!"

Meow!

The kitten barked and seemed to be very happy.

Ling Ping'an hugged it, walked downstairs, turned on the computer first, and set up today's update.

By the way, he looked at the collection.

32……

When I went to bed last night, it seemed to be 28?

Up four?!

Not bad!

He laughed and turned off the computer.

Then he hugged the kitten, walked out the door, and closed the door of the store.

Then hop on the bus and head out to the countryside in the eastern suburbs.

The bus looped around the city and soon left the city and into the villa area on the outskirts.

Villas, between the mountains and forests and streams and lakes, are lined with sections.

Some of the servants and maids dressed in traditional Silla costumes talked and laughed next to the villas.

Ling Ping'an looked at it and shook his head.

The Federal Empire has recently set off a retro trend.

Tang Feng Han Tong or something.

So, Shilla maids have become very sought-after!

And the Kingdom of Silla seems to have identified this business opportunity and launched customized services.

I heard that the monthly salary of a high-level Silla maid who has undergone strict training has reached a jaw-dropping tens of thousands!

That's more than the salary of many senior engineers!

The bus drove out of the villa area and soon entered one continuous countryside after another.

As far as the eye can see, all of them are vegetable greenhouses and fruit planting bases.

Like most of the larger cities of the Federal Empire, Jiangcheng had large swaths of suburban rural land.

These places are protected by law as prohibited areas for development.

Mainly forests and orchards, vegetable fields.

There are historical reasons for this.

The emperors and generals of the founding of the Federal Empire had an unforgettable fear of hunger!

According to many historical materials and memoirs, at the beginning, one of the questions that Taizu and his heroes thought about the most was - when can we keep the people from going hungry?

Therefore, in terms of design, the national system is designed to make the people not hungry.

However, Emperor Taizu never imagined that less than thirty years after his death, there would be no famine in the Federation itself.

Because, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was liberated.

The vast and fertile land of the Northern Zhou Dynasty can produce grains for several years in the past.

Then came the establishment of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Song Dynasty.

Now it's all right......

Cheap overseas food, flocking in.

Grain cultivation in all parts of the country, except for the northeast, was economically sentenced to death.

Thereupon......

Today's native countryside has been completely transformed into orchards and vegetable gardens.

Especially in the suburbs and countryside that surround the city, not a single acre of land will be used to grow food.

Every city can proudly proclaim to the outside world: "We are the land of vegetables and fruits!" ”

The only problem is – vegetables and fruits are really expensive!

Now in the vegetable market, cabbage is more expensive than pork, and even more expensive than grade C beef!

As for the fruits?

Anyway, Ling Ping'an remembered that when he was in school, he had lunch at school, and if there was fruit in the menu one day.

It must be a holiday.

Usually, most of the lunch is junk food.

What chicken thighs, beef, sea fish, prawns, etc.

I want to vomit when I eat it!

As a result, the obesity rate among adolescents is rising.

With this in mind, the bus has already turned into the terminal.

Ling Ping'an hugged his pet and walked out of the car.

The bus stop is located right next to a distribution center for agricultural products.

As soon as you get out of the car, you can smell the rich aroma of fruits and vegetables.

He walked over and looked, boxes and boxes of strawberries had been packed, one after another grapes, green grapes, red grapes......

There are also mountains of bananas and pineapples.

It's all seasonal fruits!

It's just that Ling Ping'an looked at the price and shrunk his neck.

The cheapest banana is ten dollars a pound here!

As for the expensive ones......

Strawberries are twenty-eight pieces a catty, which is still a second-class product.

The highest grade of first-class products, there is no such thing here, those high-grade fruits, have long been booked in advance at a high price.

Fortunately......

Ling Ping'an hugged Best and said, "Little girl, fortunately, my brother still has the identity of a farmer!" ”

The Federal Empire has many institutions, and it is still exactly the same as it was three hundred years ago.

One of them is the hukou system.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Taizu divided the people into 'Shinong and Industrialist' according to tradition.

After Gojong, the constitutional era began, in accordance with the edict left by Taejo on the steps of discipline and constitutionalism.

In the councils of ministers and doctors at all levels, each profession must have a fixed seat of representatives, selected from the corresponding professions.

For example, education and scientists now occupy a very large proportion of the Central Council of Secretaries and Doctors.

The Federal Imperial Education Council and the Federal Imperial Science and Technology Development Committee are both superpowers of the whole empire.

Similarly, the peasant's seat has always been reserved.

It's just relatively rare.

But the usefulness of the identity of the peasant is increasing.

And the ancestors of Ling Ping'an have always been farmers.

Although, as early as the time of his grandfather, he had already moved to the city.

However, the occupation marked on his ID card and household registration book has not changed!

The place of his household registration has always been Qilipu Village, Dongmei Town, Jiangcheng City, where his ancestors are located.

And the countryside of the Federal Empire has been very huddled since ancient times.

Especially in Quang Nam!

The relationship between the township party and the township is an iron relationship comparable to that of classmates and comrades.

People in a place will automatically huddle together once they meet them.

In many past film and television works, Guangnan people often played the role of heroes who saw uneven roads.

The plot is basically that the protagonist is bullied overseas, and then a big man with five big and three thick men on the side of the road, as soon as he heard the protagonist's Guangnan accent, immediately pulled out the revolver hanging from his waist and killed it.

So much so that people once formed a stereotype.

I thought that the people of Guangnan were the kind of heroes who rode high-headed horses and carried revolvers around their waists to fight in the vast Northern Zhou Plain.

But that was more than 200 years ago.

And now, the heroes on horseback have disappeared into the wilderness of the Northern Zhou Dynasty with social development and technological progress.

However, the plot of the township party of the people of Quang Nam is still strong.

As long as it's a place, everything is easy to discuss.

Even, as long as the ancestral home is a place, it is easy to say.

As a farmer, the most important thing for Ling Ping'an is that he can go to the orchard and vegetable field to pick the fruits and vegetables he wants to eat.

And it's cheap!

Basically, less than 30% of the market price.

That is, he is lazy!

If you are diligent, you will have vegetables and fruits to eat every day!

Not only that, every time people from the village come to the city to buy or play.

I would bring him some vegetables and fruits from the village.

So, holding Best, Ling Ping'an embarked on the way home.

He knows this road very well!

Until he was 10 years old, his parents would take him back to his ancestral home in the countryside once a week.

One is to clean the ancestral house, the second is to worship the ancestors, and the third is to buy some vegetables and fruits.

It's just that after the death of my parents, spiritual peace rarely returns.

Especially after graduating from university, in addition to going back to worship my ancestors on New Year's Day, I come back to buy grapes for wine.

As for the ancestral house, he entrusted it to a distant relative in the village and asked him to help take care of and clean it.

For this reason, Ling Ping gave him a reward of 500 pieces every month.

Holding Best, Ling Ping'an walked along the road, then in front of a bridge, turned into the trail on the left, and entered the country road.

After climbing a few small hills, a small village next to a river bend comes into view.

Seven miles of shop arrived!
