I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Zhou Yang said enviously, "As expected, the influence of an advanced evolved being is very useful! You can get a free lunch just by going out for a stroll."

"Sister Lin, what did you eat at the farm owner's place at number 121?" another patrolling soldier asked.

Lin An savored the taste of the roasted potatoes and exclaimed excitedly, "Roasted potatoes! I can eat ten of them in one go!"

"What?"

Zhou Yang froze.

I glanced at the half-eaten coarse flour bun in my lunchbox.

I swallowed, and it even stung my throat a little.

Both being soldiers, why does Lin An get to eat fragrant roasted potatoes while they only get to eat tasteless steamed buns?

"I really envy you, Sister Lin. The last time we had potatoes in our camp was more than ten days ago! These days, food is scarce in the camp, and we only have coarse flour buns to eat every day, and we're still not full!"

Lin An rubbed his full stomach, smiled, and went to report to Lu Mingjue.

"You saw her superpower?" Lu Mingjue put down what he was doing when he saw her come in.

Lin An: "I saw him."

"How is it?" Lu Mingjue asked.

"It's just so-so."

Lin An still felt that even if Jiang Li knew how to grow vegetables, so what? It wasn't worth bringing her all the way from the front lines just for one person. She could protect the vegetable grower for a while, but she would still have to go back to the front lines when she had the chance!

"By the way, could you give me some work to do this afternoon?" Lin An said.

"What will you be assigned?"

"Anything is fine."

Anyway, she just can't revolve around that vegetable grower; she has to do something else so that the vegetable grower doesn't always think she's her bodyguard.

Lu Mingjue: "Your current task is only to patrol the area around the safe house of landowner No. 121. There is nothing else you need to do."

Lin An: "..."

Jiang Li took the two unfinished potatoes out of the charcoal fire, got up to go back inside, but saw Wei Zhou rushing over.

"Sister Jiang, this is for you."

He took a cloth bag out of his clothes.

Jiang Li took it, opened it, and took a look.

It was a small bag of coarse flour.

"Mom told me to give this to you, saying that she ate your steamed bun last time, and this is to make up for it."

Jiang Li accepted the food and asked, "Do you have food to eat now?"

Wei Zhou nodded, "Yesterday we also went into the mountains with the team to look for resources. We found a fruit tree, and my mother and I got a lot of fruit. Today we took it to the safe zone and exchanged it for a lot of food."

That's a full eight pounds of coarse grains! If they eat it sparingly, just one meal a day, it'll be enough for them for a week.

Jiang Li frowned as she listened.

Eight catties of grain, which she and Jiang Yan could finish in two days, were being stretched out over eight days by their family of four.

"Go and call your mother over," Jiang Li said. "Tell her I need to speak with her."

Wei Zhou didn't ask what happened and hurriedly ran back.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard Wei Dahai rummaging through the room while cursing:

"Where's the flour you brought back? Where did you hide it? Give it to me!"

Liu Qing remained unmoved. "I'll keep the flour. From now on, you can only take out one pound a day to eat. You can't eat it all at once."

"Damn it, you want me to starve to death!"

"One pound a day is simply not enough. I need to eat three meals a day, how am I going to manage with this little bit of flour?"

Wei Dahai was furious. Seeing Wei Zhou return, he glared at him and said, "Do you know where your mother hid the flour?"

Wei Zhou shook his head.

"Fine!" Wei Dahai pointed at Wei Zhou with his finger, "You two! You all want to starve me to death!"

Wei Zhou remained silent.

Wei Dahai snorted coldly and continued rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

Anyway, Wei Dahai couldn't possibly find flour in this room. Wei Zhou watched Wei Dahai go into the inner room and quickly whispered in Liu Qing's ear:

"Mom, Sister Jiang wants to see you. She says she needs to talk to you."

Liu Qing was taken aback.

What could Jiang Li possibly want from her?

If you don't understand, you'll find out when you get there.

The mother and son left the safe house quietly and arrived at the door of Jiang Li's safe house.

"Come in," Jiang Li said.

Liu Qing entered, completely bewildered, and asked, "Miss Jiang, what brings you here?"

Jiang Li looked at Liu Qing and said directly, "I have an opportunity to earn points here, would you like to try it?"

Liu Qing was taken aback.

A chance to earn points?

real or fake?

She asked, somewhat skeptical, "What kind of opportunity?"

Jiang Li opened the snakeskin bag, revealing the potatoes inside.

Liu Qing and Wei Zhou were instantly stunned!

What a huge bag of potatoes!

She hadn't expected that Jiang Li's family would have so much stored grain; this bag must weigh at least sixty or seventy pounds.

"Miss Jiang, why are you showing me this?" Liu Qing asked, puzzled.

Jiang Li: "I grew all these potatoes, and my wood-type ability allows me to grow this many vegetables every day."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing and Wei Zhou's eyes widened.

"You mean...you grew these potatoes in one day?"

Jiang Li nodded and continued, "I have an older sister who helps me sell vegetables in the safe zone, but given the market prices, even if she sells all day, she can only sell a maximum of forty or fifty kilograms a day."

After all, people in the safe zone don't go to the market every day. The wealthy are always a minority. Besides, there are more than two hundred stalls in that market. If the prices and quality are the same, the sales volume of each stall is actually not that different.

"So I plan to expand my sales channels in advance. I want to find someone to help me sell high-energy crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes in the market streets of Districts 4 and 5. If you have this idea, I plan to give you these potatoes to distribute at a price of 50 points per kilogram."

"50 points per kilogram?" Liu Qing's eyes widened.

This is a full 10 points less than the market price!

How is this any different from doing charity?

The price of 50 points per kilogram is indeed lower than the market price, but Jiang Li has her own considerations.

Take potatoes as an example. After she grows the potatoes, she has to dig them up, clean them, and then spend time, money, and manpower to transport them to the safe zone. The market stalls require rent, and selling vegetables will also take up Jiang Tang's entire day's time.

These processes weren't nonexistent; it's just that the initial volume was small, so she handled them all herself.

She explained to Liu Qing, "The 50-point wholesale price comes with a condition: you have to come to my land to dig, clean, and transport the goods yourselves, and find places to sell them yourselves. How much you sell is your business. Even if you can't sell them all and they spoil, it has nothing to do with me. Any bumps or accidental losses along the way are also none of my business."

Liu Qing was still a little stunned. "Even so, 50 points is still very low."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "That's why I said it's an opportunity to earn points. I can't let you earn none at all."

Moreover, she didn't plan to sell at a high price in the market street. The people gathered in sections 4 and 5 were ordinary people who were barely making ends meet. She planned to open up channels there, sell in large quantities at low prices, and use the money to quickly get rid of the stockpiled inventory.

Finding Liu Qing to distribute the products was just an initial attempt at this approach, and also the starting point.

After hearing this, Liu Qing's mind went blank and her heart pounded.

Is this really a great money-making opportunity for her? She couldn't believe it.

Even if these potatoes were sold for 60 points each, they would sell easily as long as people were willing to spend the time. But now, they can actually get them from Jiang Li for 50 points per kilogram.
