I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

"There are quite a few people eating dumplings together today," Jiang Tang said with a smile.

There were eight people in total.

It was very lively and bustling.

Jiang Yan took the bowls and chopsticks, while Jiang Tang served the dumplings. The dumplings were filled with pork and cabbage. When the pot lid was lifted, steam and aroma immediately wafted out. The dumpling skins were smooth and chewy, the filling was plentiful, and even the soup was fragrant.

"Eat as much as you want. I'll cook more if you're not full. I've wrapped a lot," Jiang Yan said.

Lin An held the bowl and ate the dumplings and drank the soup with gusto, without any hesitation.

It's so delicious and satisfying!

Only Jiang Li was willing to let them eat like this; this meal consisted of at least five catties of pork and five catties of flour.

Pork costs 340 points per pound, and wheat flour costs 80 points per pound.

The cost of ingredients for this meal of dumplings was 2100 points.

What kind of decent person would dare to eat like this? And invite such a large group of people to eat too?

With prices so high these days, everyone is living frugally, but Jiang Li does it this way without a trace of heartache on her face.

Lin An thought so, and so did Chen Ye. So this is what it feels like not to worry about tomorrow's food, so this is what it feels like to have a full meal every day...

If he can stay on this farm, he can have enough to eat, and the money he earns can ensure that his grandmother eats well every day and has a good old age.

"Master Jiang..." Chen Ye suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Li.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Li asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression as she ate her dumplings.

Chen Ye finally asked the question that had been on his mind all along, "Can I... work here like Qiao Wu, forever?"

Before Jiang Li could say anything, he quickly added, "I promise I'll do a good job! I can do any dirty or tiring work! If you're looking for long-term workers, could you consider me first?"

He discovered that there were only two employees on the farm, him and Qiao Wu. Jiang Li had to tend to the vegetable garden every day and plant a lot of vegetables, so she had no time to manage the rice paddies. Jiang Yan and Jiang Tang had to manage the shop. Qiao Wu told him that Jiang Li had taken over the food supply for the entire farm area, which was why she suddenly expanded the rice paddies on such a large scale. After the rice was planted, there would be a series of follow-up matters.

As for Lin An, she didn't seem to be there to work. She rarely did any work and spent most of her time standing on the wall looking around. Besides looking around, she would also steal grapes from Jiang Li's garden when she wasn't paying attention.

There's so much work for Qiao Wu to handle all by herself. And every time Qiao Wu drinks a tube of that green stuff, it's like she's triggered some kind of mechanism, and she'll immediately start tending to the vegetable garden, spending half a day doing so, no matter what you call her.

Therefore, the work in the rice paddies definitely needs to be done by someone.

"Brother, you're pretty shrewd," Jiang Yan said with a smile. "Only here can you find such a good job."

He used to be like Chen Ye, earning a little over three thousand a month in the safe zone, working himself to the bone but never getting enough to eat. So he could understand Chen Ye. If it were him, he would also want to stay on this farm.

Jiang Li glanced at Chen Ye and readily agreed, "Okay, if you want to stay here, then work hard here. My farm does need an employee."

She had been considering this matter before Chen Ye mentioned it, and she had been observing him during this time. Chen Ye worked very hard, while Qiao Wu would sometimes slack off, such as playing with pigs or browsing forums, but Chen Ye really didn't slack off at all. He seemed afraid that he would not live up to his salary and was always unwilling to stop for a moment.

Jiang Li needs someone who can get things done.

"Your salary is the same as Qiao Wu's, 10,000 points per month. Considering that you still have your grandmother to support, we will pay you on a daily basis in the early stages, and then on a monthly basis after things stabilize."

Chen Ye was stunned upon hearing this; he could hardly believe it. "You just agreed like that?"

He had mentally prepared himself and even assumed he would definitely be rejected, but the other party agreed so readily that he was completely bewildered.

Jiang Li: "Well, actually I was already considering it even before you asked, but what finally made me agree was your performance over this period of time. Just like your Aunt Hong said, you work very hard. People who know you well know that you work very hard, which means that everyone has seen it. That is your strength."

Chen Ye laughed, revealing his first hearty smile since arriving at the farm.

He said somewhat shyly, "From now on, I will definitely treat everything here as if it were my own home."

"Welcome our new member!" Jiang Yan cheered.

His sudden appearance as the mood-maker drew everyone's attention, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Jiang Yan: "..."

He lowered his head somewhat awkwardly, said nothing, and silently ate his dumplings.

Ye Hongjun was envious of the 10,000 yuan salary offered by Jiang Li. If he didn't have his own fields to cultivate, he would have wanted to work at Jiang Li's farm.

……

A glass of iced apples - priced at 40 points.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Tang went to prepare the items she would be selling later.

Place the chopped apple pieces in a glass, add ice cubes, and then add a little bit of sweet water. It's icy and sweet, with the fresh aroma of apple pulp, allowing you to enjoy both fruit and sweet water.

A glass of iced apple contains an average of four or five pieces of apple flesh, which isn't a large portion, but it's still profitable. Considering everyone's purchasing power, we'll plan based on the market price of apples at 140 points per pound, and treat it as if we're just selling apples.

If you were to juice them and sell them, a few apples for a cup of juice would not only be wasteful, but no one could afford to drink them either.

This is the current situation in the apocalypse. Everyone is thinking about how to make the most of everything they eat. Edible fruits will never be juiced. Only when people have no worries about food and drink before the apocalypse will they think about how to eat in creative ways.

To preserve its nutritional value as much as possible, the apple peel wasn't even removed.

Jiang Li picked up the bunch of evolved bananas on the bar and opened the booklet of herbal medicine recipes.

Words appeared on it.

God not only desires that humanity have an inexhaustible supply of fruit, but also that they be physically strong, incredibly powerful, agile, and possess brilliant minds…

The holy water of the Goddess of Harvest not only makes plants flourish, but also gives fruits beneficial effects. Although the holy water was eventually contaminated, its effects did not disappear...

Jiang Li stared at the last line of text, lost in thought.

The effects of the holy water did not disappear as a result?

Could it be that a world filled with evolving plants is the world that God originally wanted to create?

Ultimately, the great evolution of humankind was still driven by "holy water".

Jiang Li suddenly remembered the bag of plant nutrient solution she had bought from the gold coin shop.

Could that so-called plant nutrient solution actually be... holy water?

Jiang Tang: "Xiao Li, your eyes seem to be getting greener and greener. Is there something wrong with that?"

Jiang Li took out a small mirror and looked at herself; her eyes were so green they looked like she was wearing colored contact lenses.

She didn't feel any discomfort; on the contrary, her vision became clearer.

There shouldn't be any problems.

Soon, a large number of people from the dark alley came over with bamboo shoots in carts. They poured the mutated bamboo shoots into the garbage recycling machine to exchange for points, and then used the points to buy iced apples and iced grapes from Jiang Tang.

The points will eventually go to Jiang Li and can be used for purchases in the system's online store.

This love triangle is becoming more and more stable.
