Chapter 706: Doomsday version of the vegetable basket project?

"Heads, please look, along with strawberries, there are loquats from the prime minister's gathering place, mandarin oranges from the Jiangjin base city in Yucheng, and cherries and mandarin oranges from the Chongyi gathering place..."

Under the soft spotlights, the leaders of the Tongren delegation seemed to be in a sea of ​​fresh fruits. All kinds of fresh fruits in the fruit and vegetable area surrounded them tightly with their attractive luster.

The strawberries are piled up into ruby ​​hills, each seed is plump and convex, and the sepals are bright green and crisp. The loquat skin has a waxy halo, like warm and thick oil paint.

In the refrigerator nearby, the cherries reflect the light of ice crystals, and the firm stalks and shiny skin form a perfect arc, just like the red agates carefully displayed on a jewelry counter.

The refreshing fruity aroma mixed with the light white mist wafting from the refrigerated area embodies the word "fresh" into a tangible sensory experience.

During Chen Haisheng's introduction, the leaders of the Tongren delegation remained silent, but just kept their heads down and showed off the strawberries.

They were eating so much that even Zhao Renhua, deputy director of the General Office, couldn't stand it anymore and joined in without saying a word.

Although his rank is not low, his salary is not high because Yezhou Province currently implements a welfare system that gives priority to the military.

The stream strawberries have just been put on the market, and the provincial standing committee has not had time to include them in the welfare distribution system. It is impossible to get them for free, and it would be very painful to buy them with one's own salary.

So I can only take advantage of the reception to squeeze out more money. Anyway, it will be reimbursed when the time comes, and it can be regarded as an extra allowance for field work.

...

"In addition to fruits, as the year draws to a close, vegetables from various gathering places will soon be available in local supply and marketing stores, thanks to the coordinated planting by the Provincial Agricultural Department and the transportation guarantee by the Provincial Transportation Department."

"There are a wide variety of vegetables, including potatoes, radishes, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, peas, watercress, spinach, chrysanthemum, celery, bok choy, green beans, etc."

Listening to the store manager Chen Haisheng announcing the dishes, many leaders of the Tongren delegation didn't even bother to stuff fruit into their mouths. They were already dumbfounded...

No?

Is this still the end of the world?

The food basket project has reached the end of the world? ? ? Everyone is starving, and you are also involved in the category? ?

Not to mention after the end of the world, even before the end of the world, residents of most countries in the world, including the so-called developed countries, would find it difficult to enjoy such a rich supply of fruits and vegetables.

It is the norm in this world that people like Goryeo and Xiaori next door eat watermelon rinds and corn cobs as dishes.

Many times, we are so accustomed to it that we inadvertently overlook the greatness of Zhou Bang’s vegetable basket project, as if everything should be like this as it should be.

The abundance of product variety, the low purchasing prices, and the wide area of ​​benefit are absolutely unprecedented and unparalleled in the world, whether compared with ancient and modern times or the world!

It is precisely because of this understanding that the leaders of the Tongren delegation were so shocked.

So much so that they couldn't help but secretly wonder, how much surplus military force is needed to support the survivors in the area controlled by the Ye Province Military Region to gradually transform from survival to life? ?

Especially from the store manager's introduction just now, they not only heard about the products from Ye Province, but also the products from Yucheng...

This piece of information reveals at least one thing, that is, the Ye Province Military District did not simply attack the area, but instead achieved strong control and opened up key transportation lines. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to transport the local agricultural resources back so easily.

After all, the numerous mutant beasts in the wild are not vegetarians!

Did the colleagues gather here and never think about restoring large-scale planting? Did they not love it? Most importantly, they just didn’t have the ability!

Large-scale agricultural activities like this must require a large-scale military to support them!

Otherwise, if the survivors are attacked and killed by mutant beasts every day, who would have the heart to farm? Isn't it the same as asking people to go out and die?

In addition, the transportation capabilities demonstrated by the Ye Province Military Region also made Chen Yuguo and other leaders of the delegation secretly amazed.

Due to the complex conditions in the wilderness at the end of the world, the military resources and difficulty required to maintain a transport route are no less than those required to develop agriculture on a large scale.

So in Chen Haisheng's introduction, Deputy Mayor Chen Yuguo saw not only abundant supplies, but also the strong military force of the Ye Province Military Region!

How many troops would be needed to provide support for the large-scale development of agriculture in various settlements and the maintenance of material exchanges between so many settlements?

I'm afraid the number of weapons and ammunition consumed every day alone is an astronomical figure!

And what did he just hear?

The store manager mentioned that "the end of the year is approaching", right? ? No? ? It's the end of the world, but people still remember the Chinese New Year? ?

You guys are really living your life, aren’t you?

It was also at this moment that Chen Yuguo finally figured out why he felt like he was traveling through time when he first entered the Qinghe gathering place.

The hardware here is certainly partly responsible for this feeling, after all, even the public transportation system has resumed operation.

But more of it comes from the temperament displayed by the survivors here..

If we must make a metaphor, the survivors in the gathering place are like a group of extremely hungry wolves living in a harsh environment. They are filled with a strong sense of crisis and impending death at all times, and the main mood of the entire gathering place is one of panic.

The survivors in the Qinghe settlement are more like humans: gentle, civilized, and unhurried. The whole community is enveloped in a quiet, peaceful, hopeful and positive atmosphere.

If a compressed biscuit was dropped, it would probably cause a large-scale bloodbath in a gathering place for colleagues. However, if it happened in Qinghe, Chen Yuguo was extremely sure that the survivors here would most likely pick it up and ask who dropped it.

The reason why there is such a big gap between the two is certainly not the so-called bad nature of XXX, but the fact that the Ye Province Military Region raised and protected these survivors too well.

When the granaries are full, people will know etiquette!

Just like why the public security in the Zhou State was getting better and better before the end of the world, strict state constraints were one reason, and people’s increasingly higher education level was another reason, but neither of them was the main one.

The main reason is that social materials are extremely abundant, and people can survive without relying on extreme means, so naturally fewer and fewer people will take risks.

Survival is the first instinct of human beings. No matter how strict the discipline or how high the education, it can never restrain people's desire for life.

A glimpse of the leopard in the cage can turn a group of survivors who have experienced fighting and extreme cruelty into little lambs again.

What level of comprehensive strength has the provincial military region reached this night?

Just thinking about it makes the delegation members at the gathering place full of hope for the future again!

It is worthy of being the provincial capital, its foundation is so strong that it is beyond reach!

This made Chen Yuguo feel funny when he thought of some of his previous little thoughts.

The other party was clearly here to help the poor, but we actually thought they were here to pick peaches...

I've been trapped on the isolated island in the end times for too long, and I've become a little bit ignorant of the world!

A billionaire comes to rob a beggar's den?

While making fun of himself, Chen Yuguo's heart became uncontrollably hot.

If he was wary of the Night Province Military District's bloodsucking before, now, what he is thinking about is how to make the Night Province Military District willing to suck blood.

Not only he has thought about this kind of day of common prosperity, but the more than 30 survivors behind him have also thought about it!

And, right now
