I became a farmer in the apocalypse.
Chapter 77 Makes a Big Profit
"Boss, is this a strawberry?"
At the market, when passersby see the bright red strawberries at Jiang Tang's stall, almost everyone can't help but take a second look, and some are even completely mesmerized.
These strawberries are so big, they're about the size of a pigeon egg, is that right?
"Strawberries, of course, a new variety," Jiang Tang said. "240 points per pound, want two?"
The man hesitated for a moment.
It smells so sweet, I really want to eat it.
But it's so expensive.
"I saw that the other strawberry vendors were charging 220 points per pound, some even 210 points per pound. Why are yours so expensive? It's a full 20 points more per pound!"
Jiang Tang smiled, her eyes crinkling, "So, are the strawberries on other people's stalls the same as the strawberries on my stall?"
His words left the man speechless.
"Can I just buy one strawberry?" the first person asked.
He simply couldn't stand it anymore. The air was filled with the smell of strawberries. How could someone who hadn't been able to bear eating strawberries even once in a year during the apocalypse possibly endure it?
"Sure, you can pick one, but you can't touch it with your hands."
"I want this one!"
The man pointed to one.
Jiang Tang weighed out a strawberry for him.
"105g, I'll give you 50 points."
The person paid 50 points, took the strawberry, and looked at it curiously, probably wondering how a strawberry could grow so big.
He suspected it was a mutated strawberry, so he tested it to be sure, and the result was that it was safe.
If the food were toxic, it would be impossible for it to pass the safety monitoring at the farmers' market.
I intended to eat it when I got back, but I couldn't resist looking at it, so I took a big bite and a burst of rich strawberry juice immediately gushed out.
"Wow! This is so delicious! So sweet! It's better than any strawberry I've ever eaten."
People around him watched him eat.
Upon discovering that the strawberry, once bitten open, revealed incredibly bright red flesh and abundant juice with an intensely sweet flavor, I couldn't help but swallow hard.
One of the men, who had originally come to buy potatoes, gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and said to Jiang Tang:
"Boss, I'll buy one strawberry too!"
So I paid the points and started eating right there in front of the stall. After eating, I felt like I'd wasted my life.
"Wow, I've never eaten such delicious strawberries before!"
The people around were itching to make a move.
"I'll have one to try!"
"I want the biggest one!"
More and more people are joining the ranks of strawberry eaters.
When the soldiers patrolling the market saw a crowd gathered there, they assumed it was a fight or a disturbance, so they came over with serious expressions, only to find that they were all tasting strawberries, leaving them speechless.
Are these strawberries really that delicious?
The next second, seeing them each holding a large strawberry and eating it with relish, I couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Um..." the patrolling soldier couldn't help but say, "Boss, I think your strawberries are pretty good. Could you save me a pound? I'll take them home for my daughter after get off work; she loves strawberries the most."
"Okay, I'll pack it in a bag for you. You can pick it up after get off work."
"Boss, how much are these tomatoes?" someone asked.
Tomatoes cost 70 points per pound.
In front of everyone, Jiang Tang cut open a tomato. The flesh was thin, and after cutting it open, it revealed a lot of seeds and pulp inside! The plumpness of this tomato was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary tomatoes.
She placed the tomato, full of seeds, aside as a display item.
"Wow! These tomatoes look amazing! They would make a delicious tomato and egg soup!" With that, she picked out three tomatoes.
"2.2 jin, 154 points."
"Boss, your strawberries are really delicious! I want to buy a whole pound!"
Jiang Tang picked out five for him, enough to make a whole pound, "252 points."
"252 points credited to your account."
"Boss, I'm here to buy large potatoes. Do you still have the potatoes from yesterday?"
"Also, but there aren't many potatoes today, only 20 jin in total, first come, first served."
"I'll buy three pounds!"
Jiang Tang was so busy all day that she barely had time to breathe, and she was practically in a daze.
There are way too many fruits and vegetables today!
Xiao Li really doesn't treat her like a human being.
A crowd of people had been crowding in front of the stall the whole time. Jiang Tang barely stopped for a moment, wishing she could turn into an octopus. She worked from eight in the morning until four in the afternoon before finally selling out all the goods on the stall.
When Jiang Tang finally checked her income, she was dumbfounded.
24500 points!
After calculating the total income, she then calculated her own income.
Xiao Li said that the strawberries were priced at 200 points per pound, and the original intention was for her to sell them at the market price of 220 points. However, she felt it was a bit of a loss, so she sold all 65 pounds of strawberries at a price of 240 points per pound...
Add to that 110 jin of tomatoes and 20 jin of potatoes.
So her income today is—
3900 points!
After calculating, Jiang Tang felt relieved.
I take back what I just said.
Xiao Li didn't treat her like a human being; rather, she treated her like one too much.
Earning a whopping 3900 points in a single day! This was something Jiang Tang never dared to dream of before.
As Jiang Tang left the market, she couldn't stop smiling; it felt so good.
Yesterday she was calculating her savings of just over eight thousand, but in the blink of an eye it skyrocketed to twelve thousand.
After leaving the market, Jiang Tang first transferred 20600 points to Jiang Li, then made a phone call, "Xiao Li, I made a fortune today!"
If she did this every day, she could earn 100,000 points a month.
Happiness came a little too suddenly.
If this continues, will she become a rich woman too?
Jiang Li smiled and said, "There are indeed a lot of goods today, and there probably won't be any less in the future. You can start planning to open a fruit and vegetable store and see if there are any suitable shops in the safe zone. I'll come over next time and we'll look around together. We need to rent a shop and hire people. From now on, we won't sell our fruits and vegetables at the market anymore; we'll just sell them directly in the store."
Jiang Tang was taken aback by these words. "We're going to open a shop?"
That was so sudden.
Jiang Li: "Of course, the current stock is barely enough for one stall, but in the future, it won't be possible to sell it all by yourself. So, rent a shop and you can be the boss from now on. Let your employees handle the cash register for you, so you won't have to work so hard."
Jiang Tang's heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
Is she going to be a boss?
I never imagined she'd become a boss one day!
This is like a dream.
"By the way, Xiao Li, I'm planning to buy a small electric scooter," Jiang Tang said, explaining her intentions. "It takes a lot of time to travel to and from the market and my place every day."
She always walks back and forth, a half-hour journey each way. She originally planned to buy a bicycle, but now that she's earning more money, she has more than enough to buy a small electric scooter, so she might as well just buy one. It's also convenient to transport things sometimes.
Jiang Li: "If you want to buy it, then buy it. Do you have enough money? If not, I'll transfer it to you."
"That's enough. A small electric car costs 5000 points, which I can afford."
Jiang Tang saw that it was still early and decided to buy the electric scooter today.
Jiang Tang hailed a tricycle and went straight to the shop selling electric scooters.
"Hey beautiful, wanna buy a car?"
The boss came over with a big smile.
His shop wasn't very big, only about 150 square meters. Several different models of electric two-wheelers were neatly displayed at the entrance and inside the shop.
Jiang Tang walked in and spotted a retro brown electric scooter. Its lightweight body was simple yet stylish, and it was about the same size as electric scooters from before the apocalypse, making it easy for her to drive.
However, the price was slightly higher than she had expected, priced at 5999 points.
