Now, when other countries mentioned the Chu Country, they could not help but praise it. The current Chu Country was no longer something that the Chu Country of the past could compare to.

The other countries did not dare to have any more ideas about the Chu Country, let alone start a war.

Everyone still wanted to import some things from Chu to their country.

The main reason was that the things developed by the Chu Country were especially good.

Not to mention the delicacies, even the food and necessities were amazing.

There were also clothes to wear. There were down jackets and sweaters. The further north people went, the warmer they were.

There was also cement. The roads made of cement were especially good.

However, other countries did not know the secret recipe for cement, so they could only import cement from Chu.

There were also books. There were simply too many books in Chu.

Everyone no longer had to worry about a war.

In fact, the common people were afraid of war and hoped to live in a peaceful environment.

Now, everyone could live in a peaceful environment.

Even if it was farming, the grain yield was still very high.

Everyone didn’t have to worry about not having enough to eat and not having enough to wear.

Moreover, the imperial court had stored a lot of food.

Fortunately, they could distribute food to the people at the critical moment.

But now, because all the places had grown potatoes, sweet potatoes, high-yield rice, wheat, and other crops, there was a lot of food in reserve.

In addition, many places had also planted greenhouse vegetables.

Even though it was winter, everyone could still eat fresh vegetables.

Moreover, there were many types of vegetables now, not as few as before.

Now, under Su Binglan’s leadership, everyone had grown a lot of fresh vegetables.

There were also fruits.

Now, there were more fruits.

Strawberries and grapes could be eaten everywhere.

Wine also became popular.

Nowadays, the nobles were used to drinking red wine, and everyone felt that red wine was delicious.

Of course, although Chu also grew grapes, the truly delicious grapes were still the grapes of Bright Moon City.

Because the climate there was suitable for the growth of grapes, the grapes planted there were very sweet.

That was why the grapes there were delicious.

There were a lot of grapes there, and Bright Moon City had even built a grape factory that specialized in producing raisins.

Raisins had become a specialty of Bright Moon City.

They would all be transported to Chu.

The commoners of Chu could eat sweet grapes and raisins.

Now, every household could grow tomatoes. Everyone’s favorite food was still scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

It was simple but delicious.
