Grasp the farming script in the famous book

As soon as the harvest season came in the plane, discussions outside the plane immediately ushered in relish.

In the surrounding shops of the Monte Cristo plane, the fresh white asparagus that was once out of stock is finally available. The audience can finally eat boiled white asparagus with hollandaise sauce or roasted white asparagus with freshly sliced ​​ham like the characters in the plane. piece.

"Why do I always feel that the white asparagus on my plate is not as delicious as the people in the plane?"

"Is your white asparagus grown without soil?"

"Yes……"

"The white asparagus cultivated without soil is one-third cheaper than the white asparagus cultivated by Roland's method in the plane. Of course, the taste is not as good as others."

The audience who suddenly realized it all sighed that "hands are slow"-there are also "soil-grown" white asparagus in the surrounding stores, which are exactly the same as what they saw in the plane, but they will be sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves. Currently, they can only be reserved.

The heat of the white asparagus has not yet passed, and a season of grapes has been harvested in the plane.

When the grapes were harvested, all the villagers in Lina Village went to battle and worked for a whole week to harvest, squeeze the juice from the regenerated old grape vines, put them into vats and start fermentation.

Fresh wines that are in season are ready to drink after a month.The rest are processed again, filtered, and slowly cellared in huge oak barrels, waiting for time to impart their flavor.

On this day, the villagers of Lina Village put on costumes one after another, dressing up like a festival.

The hopeless vineyard is rejuvenated, which seems to indicate that their life has passed the lowest point. From now on, life in Lina Village will improve little by little, and return to the best state in their memory...

On this day, the villagers set up a large pot outdoors, and a pot was used to stew half-year-old spring chickens.Add pearl onions, fresh mushrooms and carrots to the pot, then pour in red wine, cover the pot and simmer.

The other pot is similar, but the ingredients are the hares that the villagers caught with traps in the nearby forest.

In a short time, the chicken stewed in red wine and the rabbit legs stewed in red wine were all stewed. When the lid was lifted, the aroma was tangy. They were served in rough pottery dishes and sent to every villager who came to help harvest grapes and make wine.

Fresh and tender chicken or rabbit meat is delivered to the mouth, attracting admiration.

Red wine is the condiment for these two dishes. The wine not only kills the fishy smell of the meat, but the tannins in the wine also make the chicken and rabbit meat more tender.The soup is full of the umami flavor of meat, and there is also a fruity aroma from grapes. It can also be eaten with bread.

Young wine is available open-ended, and you can drink as much as you want—the new wine is so low in alcohol that it's hard to get drunk.What makes the villagers feel stupefied is this sense of happiness that hits their faces.

Outside the plane——

"Good guy, I'm direct good guy—"

"Red wine stew n3909 is sold out again!"

"I'm so smart, I placed an order for stewed rabbit legs in red wine. I was quick and got the last few orders."

"—Wait, the plane directly announced Roland's recipe."

"Everyone with superb cooking skills, you can start cooking by yourself!"

Most of Roland's fans are culinary experts who are passionate about cooking, and they all said: They have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

In addition, there is another group in the plane of Monte Cristo: music fans.

After they watched the special clip of the match between Roland and Miss Popola, they all expressed their optimism about this plane——

"Miss Tanglar is indeed gifted as a singer."

"Yes, that's what it says in the original book."

"Miss de Amely has a pretty fine piano, and I'm very fond of her."

"Ah, I finally found a plane outside of the 'Phantom Plane' that music fans can see."

"Please, director of the plane, let us watch some opera masterpieces from the 40s and [-]s—that was an era when famous artists came out in large numbers..."

"+1, look forward to it!"

Unexpectedly, after the music fans became the audience of the "Monte Cristo Plane", they couldn't help but start buying, buying, buying, eating, and eating together with other audiences...

"This doesn't seem to be my original intention when I came to this plane."

"Me too...but I just can't stop."

"Ah, Miss Tanglars sent Madame Dupree her own throat tea! I wonder if she will publish the recipe."

"The recipe is announced! Great!"

"Come on, let's make this throat-protecting tea too."

"Oh my god, Miss Tanglar even made the grape seeds left over from winemaking in the vineyard into a facial mask for skin care..."

"Extra, the grape seed mask of the same style is on sale!"

"In addition to facial masks, there are also red wine spa and grape seed spa available for appointment!"

"This plane is simply poisonous, I feel like I'm on a thief ship!"

"I haven't stopped since I came to this plane. I've been buying, buying, doing, and eating..."

"Buying, buying, eating, and eating are nothing. Do you know that all the 'cow cats' in the pet adoption center have been adopted recently?"

"This……"

This is indeed the case. There has recently been a wave of "black and white flowers" in the world of cute pets - mainly because the "black and white flowers" that have been following player Roland in the "Plane of Monte Cristo" are so cute.

For the safety of the vineyard, Roland kept four hounds on the winery, two adult dogs and two puppies.

The four hounds actually listened to Roland's "black and white" kitten.

The kitten named "Luna" looks extraordinarily delicate, graceful and slow-moving, but the kind that will blow up and run away when it sees a mouse.

To the surprise of all the audience, this kitten was able to command the four hounds on the winery.Every time Roland needs the hounds to do something, she doesn't need to directly command the hounds at all.

On the contrary, as long as she talked and gestured in front of Luna for a while, the little black-and-white flower would naturally run to find the four hounds and complete the tasks that Roland had instructed.Even if the hounds are asked to catch mice, the four hounds will do so.

Just like that, the "Black and White Flower" outside the plane also became popular.

Luna knew all about these "feedback" outside the plane, and she was very happy in her heart, but she couldn't share it with Roland because of the rules.

Unexpectedly, when she went to Roland to "act like a baby", she saw Roland frowning and looking at a document.

"Lan Lan, what's wrong?"

Since entering this plane, Luna has never seen Roland show such a serious expression.

"This world is cruel!"

Roland concealed his emotions.

In her hand is this year's tax statement for the vineyard.All kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes add up to two or three thousand francs.

So far, she has fully understood why the previous owner of the vineyard would rather sell it at a loss than sell the vineyard no matter what——

Year after year, taxes alone are a huge expense.

When the vineyard cannot produce wine, it is a pure loss, a blood loss.

"Don't say that my vineyard is not yet ready for wine production. Even if it is wine production and good wine, considering various costs and taxes, it is estimated that at most it can only achieve a balance of payments."

Luna was very surprised.

"Lan Lan, even an expert like you can only make ends meet?"

"Yes," although it was a bit brash to say this, Roland was still worried about the small farmers like her in this plane, "Even someone as powerful as me can barely manage to make ends meet. One can imagine the situation of others."

"But my vineyard feeds many people, and it is also the pinning of many people's hopes."

"So we still have to work hard." Roland said firmly, but still sighed.

Luna nodded Mao Mao's head and said, "That's true, but you also have to think about it, you can't stay here forever, you'll have to go back to Paris sooner or later."

A few days ago, Mrs. Tanglar wrote a letter warning her daughter: "Don't always act like a country girl... I think you should hurry back to Paris."

On the contrary, Baron Tanglar didn't care much - he probably thought that Roland's vineyard and winery could make a lot of money.

After hearing Luna's words, Roland thought for a while and said, "I'm going to do my best, if I can help a little."

She went to town to meet the tax collector the next day.

But to her surprise, the tax collector had heard of Baron Danglars.

"My dear lady, when I saw your gleaming surname, although I thought it was very eye-catching, I could only guess that it was just a coincidence—"

When the tax officer spoke, his face was full of smiles, and his face was wrinkled.

"You should have told me earlier that you are the baron's daughter. If I had known that, this tax form would never have been sent to you like this."

"I'm going to make a new tax form for you."

The tax official said that Roland's vineyards did not need to pay so much tax.

The only reason is that the owner of this vineyard is the daughter of a banker.

When Roland got the tax form again, he saw that the annual tax on it had become two hundred francs.

The tax collector in front of her looked at her expectantly.

"Thank you for your help. I will mention this to my father."

——Roland knows all these things.

The flower that had been smiling on the tax collector's face earlier was in full bloom again.

"However, the tax reduction of my vineyard will not affect you?"

The tax officer smiled obsequiously, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, there are many small workshops, small industrialists, and small manor owners in the jurisdiction. If your tax is distributed to others, it will not have any impact at all."

Roland: ...!

poisonous! — This tax collector is poisonous!The system of this plane is poisonous!

So before she left, she solemnly asked the tax officer's name again, which made the tax officer very happy.

After returning from the town, Roland went to the villagers of Lina Village, including Gaspar, and asked them about the tax they had to pay for a year.

The answer of the farmers is: the burden is really heavy. According to their practice in the past few years, they try to pay as much as they can. Open it up and show them to let them know that the villagers really can't afford it.

"The tax officials here are not bad. Seeing us like this, they don't force us."

Roland: This tax official... is not bad?

In her view, this tax official is to distribute taxes to everyone, squeeze more here, and then slow down for a while after seeing that people have been pushed to the bottom of the wall. tax officer.

"Yes," Anna chimed in alongside her husband, Gaspar, "When other towns collect taxes, the military police will be dispatched. I heard that some people can't pay taxes and go to jail."

Hearing this, Roland was silent for a while, and finally said: "In the future, if you fail to pay taxes, you will all come to the winery and say that you are all employees of the winery, and you will pay taxes with the winery."

Gaspar and the others were overjoyed and thanked again and again.

But Roland still didn't dare to tell the villagers the truth—maybe the heavy tax burden on them was passed on to them from her, the "girl at the banker's knee".

She is trying her best to make life better for those around her.But in fact, this made the lives of people outside of her harder and worse?

Nothing could be worse than this, right?

"Gaspar, let me ask you, do you have any chance of running in the election?"

"election?"

Gaspar had been a soldier and had heard of the word "election", but he had no idea who held the "suffrage".

"My dear lady, in the village of Lina, no one has participated in... the kind of thing you mentioned."

"Whether it's a man, a woman, an old man..."

"As far as I know, no one in the town has either."

After Roland heard about it, he turned around and asked the teacher of the girls' boarding school: "In this country, who has the right to vote?"

The female teacher looked at her strangely: "Eugénie, why are you asking this?"

"You can't vote anyway—"

This is of course, women have the right to vote until the beginning of the twentieth century, which is completely unthinkable in this plane.

"I just want to know, since I don't have the right to vote myself, what kind of person has such power."

"Of course it is—a man."

"The rich—bankers, stockbrokers, landowners, mine owners, nobles..."

The female teacher suddenly laughed:

"Eugénie, you really don't have to worry about what these politicians should worry about. Of course your father has the right to vote, and your husband will too in the future!"

Roland was speechless, knowing that she couldn't ask any more questions from the teacher, so he had to ask again by himself.After inquiring, the conclusion is: In this plane, not only women, ordinary businessmen, workers, farmers, small craftsmen, and small owners like vineyard owners do not have the right to vote.

In other words, in this plane, the general environment is difficult to change - individuals can work hard, but the effect is very limited.

She felt that she was already doing everything she could, but what did that sentence mean: one operation is as fierce as a tiger, and one look at the result...

She stood alone in the dormitory, raised her head, stared at the mossy green velvet curtain on the window, and stared blankly for a long time.

When she turned her face to look at the snow-white wall, a large piece of bright red immediately protruded from the wall in her eyes.

She turned her face again, and even Miss Louise de Amelie, who knocked on the door and came in, had a red cloud of shame on her pink face.

"Eugénie, I'm so sorry..."

Young Miss de Amely had just written home asking for her tuition and living expenses which she was in arrears with for the previous school year.

Earlier, Roland helped her pay all the expenses, but judging by her current appearance, she must have hit a wall at home.

"I...I want to leave school and go to Paris..."

It was the first time that Roland heard "Miss Shy" draw attention, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Did the piano teacher say that she thinks you can go to Paris to perform on stage?"

Obviously, Roland heard the piano teacher comment on Louise last time, saying that she could consider entering Paris and trying to find a job at the Music Association after practicing for another year.

Louise's face suddenly became redder, and her head shook like a rattle.

"I, I want to go to Paris... At least I can be a female piano teacher, teaching young girls from rich families... Slowly make money, and pay back the debt I owe you."

Roland stared at Louise: This girl actually had this idea.

She thought about it, and suddenly laughed heartily: "No, you don't need to go to Paris!"

Louise raised her head in surprise and looked at Roland.

"You want to teach young girls from rich people to play the piano - isn't that me?"

Roland pointed at himself with a smile.

"Now that you go to Paris, you have to save your travel expenses and the accommodation expenses when you first got there. Why don't you stay here and be my piano teacher and teach me how to play the piano?"

Louise opened her eyes wide - she never expected that Roland would come up with such an idea.

"Listen, Louise, I'm afraid you don't even realize what a treasure you are."

Roland stopped joking and said seriously to Louise.

"I'm a banker's daughter, you have to trust me."

"And I am willing to invest in you."

"How about this, let's make an agreement, for a period of one year, you stay in the school to practice with peace of mind, and by the way, teach me this 'incompetent' student."

Louise was taken aback for a moment.

"A year from now, I'll take you with me, and the two of us will go to Paris together. With my voice and your piano, I don't believe we can't find a chance to make a difference in Paris!"

When Louise heard Roland's firm words, she couldn't help but shine her eyes.

But when she thought that Roland was a baroness, it was unlikely that she would join the theater troupe and sing on stage, but the excitement that filled her heart seemed to be half-cooled by a big bucket of cold water.

Roland walked up and down the room, saying sincerely as he walked, "Thank you, Louise, thank you for making me understand a question."

She had been very pessimistic before, but now she has regained her faith.

She once again thought of the philosophy of the country of life that has been passed down for thousands of years: "If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world."

Her abilities are not infinite, and her time in the plane is limited.Instead of thinking about those big and empty political concepts, it is better to do our best to help ourselves and those around us under the framework of this society.

Help as much as you can, and move forward steadily-this is what she should do most now.

In school, Roland can shelter the talented female pianist and help her grow;

Outside of school, Roland was able to run a handed down winery, thereby helping the poor villagers of Lina Village, allowing them to stand up again from the ruins of their lives.

More than that, three months later, Roland mortgaged her winery to Baron Tanglar, borrowed a mortgage, and bought a large piece of land near the winery. Expand the planting area of ​​white asparagus.

The profit margin on this crop has reached around 70%, enough for her to attract people from nearby villages and towns to work on her vegetable plantation.

In this way, it seems to help some more people.

What Roland didn't expect was that before she had finished drawing up the development plan for the vegetable plantation, someone came to her door.

"Express station?"

Roland was astonished.

"You want to build an express station on my land?"
