I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Qiao Wu looked at the clean and tidy room, feeling a mix of emotions.

"I don't even have my own room at home."

The base's shelters are in high demand. A family of four squeezed into a 20-square-meter room. There was barely enough room for two beds. Clothes, miscellaneous items, and daily necessities were piled up in every corner, making the room look messy and cluttered, with barely any room to step.

When it was time to sleep at night, Xu Shufen and Qiao Zhigang slept in one bed, Qiao Shijie slept in another bed, and she slept on a makeshift bed on the floor in the corner near the door.

I could always hear the noise outside through the crack in the door, and sometimes I couldn't sleep all night.

So she thought sleeping in small shops was great because it was quiet, she was all alone, she didn't have to squeeze in with other people, and she didn't have to fall asleep to Qiao Zhigang's snoring...

Qiao Wu walked over and touched the clean, brand-new bed sheet and the soft quilt, just like the ones in the hotel rooms before the apocalypse. Just this kind of quilt, stuffed with normal cotton, would probably cost a lot of points.

"There is no private bathroom in the room, but there is a public shower room outside."

Jiang Li led the three of them to the end of the corridor, where the shower room was located.

It's a bit like the public shower room in a gym before the apocalypse, with a women's shower room on the left and a men's shower room on the right, each with two cubicles. Push open the wooden door to go in, and there's a glass sliding door inside for separating the wet and dry areas.

This is the layout of the entire guesthouse: a 40-square-meter public hall, four 10-square-meter guest rooms, plus a 20-square-meter shower room and toilet.

"It seems there's no kitchen." Jiang Yan looked around.

Jiang Tang: "The safe house can be used as a kitchen."

"Hmm!" Jiang Yan nodded. "That works too."

"This house is so well built, I really like it."

No one would dislike such a clean and cozy living environment.

"Living here makes me feel good every day."

Seeing that they were all happy, Jiang Li felt satisfied.

It was worth it for her to spend the farmers' hard-earned money to build these houses. As long as everyone can live happily, then it was all worth it.

Jiang Li's assets:

Balance: 7276 points

Gold Coins: 8

My wallet is empty.

When Lin An arrived at the farm, he noticed the extra buildings. Upon entering, he found everyone in the new houses.

She looked at the clean and comfortable room and said, "I want to stay here too."

Why isn't her room listed?

Jiang Li glanced at her. "You really do have to get involved in everything. Aren't you living in a military camp?"

Lin An: "But I see that your guesthouse is very well built, which is naturally incomparable to the military camp."

Jiang Li thought for a moment, "I'll build you a room when I have the money. Right now, we only have four rooms, and they're not enough for everyone."

Jiang Li opened the 3D building panel and found that she could add a new layout, so she clicked to try it out.

Sorry, your farm level is too low to add any new layouts at this time.

Once the farm reaches level 2, new layouts can be added.

Lin An: "Then you must hurry up and build me a room. I'm willing to pay rent."

As soon as Lin An uttered those words, the system gave her a task.

[A farm visitor has requested accommodation, but your guesthouse has too few rooms. Expand your guesthouse quickly to meet her needs!]

[Task: The First Guest at the B&B]

[Task Description: Please expand the size of your guesthouse to accommodate one guest.]

[Task Reward: 10 Gold Coins]

In the system's eyes, Lin An always seemed to be treated as a tourist.

Jiang Li opened the visitor panel and, sure enough, saw [Today's Visitors:]

[1. Lin An (Survivor ID: xxxxxxx): Entered the farm at 6:47 AM and committed theft at 6:50 AM by eating grapes. The footage has been automatically saved to the surveillance camera and can be viewed.]

Jiang Li: "..."

She asked Lin An, "Did you eat grapes?"

Lin An was taken aback. "How did you know?"

Jiang Li was too embarrassed to tell her that every day, her behavior on the farm was as if she were standing naked in front of her, and everything was recorded clearly.

Lin An thought it might be because he smelled of grapes.

Jiang Li: "It's okay, eat if you like. If you haven't had breakfast, you can have it here. Jiang Yan made pumpkin steamed buns today."

Speaking of pumpkin steamed buns, Jiang Yan remembered that his own buns were still steaming in the pot, so he hurriedly left, saying, "I'm going to check on the buns in the pot!"

Jiang Li thought about going to see the mother cow and trying to see if she could milk her.

Last night I chopped up some straw, soaked it until it was soft, and fed it to the cows. That's all I can feed them for now. Once the pasture grows, I can feed them fresh pasture.

Jiang Li returned to the safe house, retrieved a clean wooden bucket, and went to the cattle pen.

Zhu Cuihua was also there; she always liked to come and look at the cows, standing outside the cowshed and staring intently at them.

Jiang Li fed the cow some more straw and gave it some warm water. After the cow had eaten and drunk its fill and settled down, she massaged and washed it before milking it.

Jiang Li had fed dairy cows on her farm before, so she was familiar with the process.

The cow was producing milk well, and Jiang Li ended up with about 20 liters of milk, enough for another milking session that evening.

First, 3 liters of milk were poured into another wooden bucket for the calf to drink. The calf lowered its head and sipped the milk happily.

Zhu Cuihua also went to drink.

Jiang Li chased it away.

"What are you staring at here for? Turns out you want some milk too."

Zhu Cuihua was pushed aside and watched the calf drink milk, while she herself longed to see it too.

It also wants to drink.

Jiang Li: "This is someone else's mother's milk, why are you getting involved? You don't need to drink milk, water is fine."

Jiang Li came out of the cowshed carrying a milk bucket in one hand and a pig in the other.

Jiang Tang's eyes crinkled with delight when she saw the bucket of milk Jiang Li brought out. "The dairy cow has produced milk?"

Jiang Li nodded. "The milk production is good. I estimate we can produce 40 liters of milk a day. The calves drink 6 liters, so we can have more than 30 liters left."

If this much milk were repackaged into 500ml bottles (like those used in pre-apocalyptic times), it would fill sixty bottles. If it were repackaged into 250ml bottles, it would fill even more.

She asked Jiang Tang, "How many points does a bottle of milk cost in the safe zone?"

Jiang Tang: "One bottle of milk can be exchanged for one pound of rice, which is 50 points per pound."

Based on this calculation, a female dairy cow produces 60 catties of milk per day, and the milk produced each day is worth 3000 points.

Jiang Li carried the bucket back to the small shop. First, she opened the shop's online store, where she could buy supplies for the business, such as various bags for rice and vegetables, as well as bottles for milk and glass jars for various sauces.

So building a small shop isn't without its advantages; you can buy many things directly from the small shop mall, which is much cheaper and more convenient than the safe zone.

Jiang Lihua used 200 points to buy some milk bottles, transparent milk bottles with the words "fresh milk" written on them.

Together with Jiang Tang, we packaged all the fresh milk.

1L pack – 5 bottles.

500ml pack – 20 bottles.

250ml pack – 16 bottles.
