I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Chapter 170 Picking up money from a garbage dump

She remembered that raspberries did come in many colors, but those were fruits from different varieties; it was impossible for a single plant to produce so many different colored fruits.

Lin An: "I don't know, this is how multicolored raspberries are, they've always been like this."

In Lin An's mind, this was something he was used to.

Jiang Li picked one; it was as big as a green jujube.

Colorful Raspberries

[Already included]

The evolutionary history of plants in different worlds has determined the types and differences of plants. Congratulations, you have unlocked a plant unique to this world—[Five-Colored Raspberry].

It turned out to be the case.

Is it a wild fruit unique to this world, just like the firefly grass?

Jiang Li grabbed a handful and stuffed them into the burlap sack, regardless of whether the conditions for gigantification were met; she just picked them up first.

Lin An also joined in the fun.

"These fruits must taste delicious if they're not poisonous," Jiang Li thought, her mouth watering as she picked them up.

I wish I could grow this kind of fruit myself.

Lin An walked forward and found a very large tree with fruits as big as eggs. "Can these be exchanged for gold coins?"

Jiang Li didn't know either. "Let's put them in a burlap sack first. Even if we can't exchange them for gold coins, we can still exchange them for points."

"Um."

[Snakeberry - Now Included!]

[Stylishberry - Now included!]

【Raspberry with thick leaves - already included!】

Jiang Li also saw a type of mulberry that was entirely green and translucent.

[Crystal-san - Already included!]

Sure enough, there are more opportunities outside. Just by picking up some trash, I lit up seven or eight entries in the encyclopedia. Some of them were from my original world, while others were plants unique to this world.

It seems that the map of this world still needs to be explored in depth. I should take the opportunity to pick up trash more often in the future, so that I can better understand this world.

Soon, Jiang Li had collected a large bag of colorful berries and wild strawberries.

Lin An picked up more than she did.

The two picked all the larger berries they could see, hoping some of them could be exchanged for gold coins.

As Jiang Li was picking things up, she found a crumpled RMB note hidden in the bushes. It was shiny and seemed to be deliberately shown to her.

When I picked it up and unfolded it, it wasn't RMB; it just looked like RMB.

[Congratulations! You have triggered the Garbage Collector's "Find Money in the Trash" attribute and found a [Creator's Lost Banknote] in the trash heap, worth 5 gold coins.]

Jiang Li found five yuan.

The front of the banknote features the image of the creator god, while the back reads "5 gold coins".

Sure enough, picking up trash is more likely to yield money than digging for gold. I even found five yuan in one go, which is fantastic.

Jiang Li held the banknotes up to the sunlight and laughed heartily. For some reason, finding money made her happier than making it.

Lin An turned his head and saw Jiang Li grinning like an idiot at a piece of paper.

What's wrong with you?

Jiang Li: "It's nothing."

I put the banknotes into my purse and put them away. It was almost noon.

"Let's go back and eat first, and then we can take the trash back."

I drove the tricycle back to the farm.

Seeing the pile of things on their tricycle, Jiang Tang came over to help. "What did you find?"

"It's just some wild fruits and berries, I'm seeing if I can exchange them for some money."

The three of them emptied the contents of the bag into the recycling machine.

After machine detection and statistics, the total value of the garbage was calculated to be 179 points.

[Giant Raspberry x2 - 4 Gold Coins]

[Giant Snakeberry x1 - 2 Gold Coins]

Giant Crystal Radish x1 - 2 Gold Coins

The machine immediately spat out eight gold coins for her.

The harvest was pretty good.

Adding the five yuan I found, I made a total of 13 yuan. I earned 13 yuan in just one morning, which is a lot.

"Are eight gold coins enough? How many seeds can we buy?" Lin An asked.

Jiang Li: "It's not enough to buy a bag of seeds, but it's okay. There are still so many berries in the forest. We can go pick them again when we have time."

Jiang Li thought it would be difficult to collect them all by herself.

"If only we could get those people in the alley to go and pick berries in the bushes too. Berries are small, so the requirements for them to grow to giant size are lower, and it would be easy to meet the conditions for them to grow to giant size."

Lin An: "This might be a bit dangerous. The bushes aren't in the fields. If there's no patrol team to protect them, those people won't be able to protect themselves if they encounter a mutated animal attack."

Jiang Li hadn't thought of that.

Currently, people only dare to pick up trash in the bamboo forest in the fields. Lu Mingjue sends people to sweep the bamboo forest repeatedly every day and patrols the bamboo forest to ensure everyone's safety. If they go outside to pick up trash, leaving the protected area and without military escort, it would be very dangerous.

Lin An: "If you want to go outside, I have to go with you. With me here, you will definitely not get into trouble. But when you are alone, don't go into the bushes."

Lin An's confidence stemmed from the fact that even a level 5 evolved beast couldn't catch up with her speed. As long as she picked up Jiang Li and ran away immediately, Jiang Li would have absolutely no chance of being injured by the mutated beast.

This is what makes a max-level speed evolver so valuable—their escape speed is incredibly fast.

Jiang Li nodded. "Understood."

At the entrance of the safe house, Jiang Yan was enthusiastically stir-frying vegetables at a makeshift stove made of stone bricks, filling the air with a delicious aroma.

Lin An could tell from the smell that there was stir-fried pork with chili peppers and braised pork ribs.

Walking over, Lin An saw that a large pot was frying pork with chili peppers. The stir-fried dish had a wonderful wok aroma, and Lin An was so hungry just looking at it.

Several children from the dark alley were also watching Jiang Yan cook.

Salivation.

"It looks delicious."

"It has meat, it has chili peppers... all very expensive ingredients..."

Xiao Shu rubbed his belly. The last time he tasted meat was during the Chinese New Year last year. Aunt Hong kindly invited them to drink meat soup, and each of them got to eat a small piece of meat.

However, it doesn't have such a strong meaty flavor. A small amount of meat makes a large pot of soup, but the flavor is bland. It's mainly for supplementing nutrition.

"Brother Jiang Yan put oil, salt, and soy sauce in the pot... the dish will definitely taste delicious if it's cooked like this."

"Brother Jiang Yan, can I buy your stir-fried pork with chili peppers?" Xiao Shu asked, his mouth watering.

Jiang Yan was taken aback. "Buy chili peppers to stir-fry with pork?"

"Yes," Xiaoshu nodded. "We also want to eat this stir-fried pork with chili peppers. We can buy it, but is it expensive?"

This was the first time Jiang Yan had encountered someone asking him to buy ready-made dishes, and he didn't know how to sell them.

"How about this, you give me 100 points, and I'll cook you a plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the children gathered together and began to discuss it.

"Can we afford to eat that for 100 points?"

"Could we buy two jin of rice? It's a bit expensive, maybe we shouldn't eat it?"

"But this dish contains meat, so it's naturally more expensive. Besides, Brother Jiang Yan's price is already very cheap. Don't you want to eat such delicious food?"

"Of course I want to."

"Buy whatever you want, we have money..."
