I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Liu Weidong didn't reply and went back to his room.

He sat on the bench, thinking about what Liu Weijun had said, feeling uneasy.

Why?

Because Liu Weijun was right!

The field in Miss Jiang's garden was bare, except for a few potato patches. Although her potatoes grew well and yielded a good harvest, she only had that one small vegetable garden...

Liu Weidong touched his temples.

How can this be done?

He hadn't thought of this at all before, but Liu Weijun reminded him. What would he do if he dug up all those potatoes? Wouldn't it really be like Liu Weijun said, with nothing left to take?

"Ugh!"

Liu Weidong sighed heavily.

Why did Miss Jiang only cultivate such a small plot of land? Why didn't she cultivate more land?

"What's wrong, honey? Why are you sighing? Didn't we make money today?" Li Qiaozhen asked, puzzled.

Liu Weidong: "I'm afraid our business won't last long."

"What?" Li Qiaozhen was taken aback. "Why?"

Liu Weidong truthfully reported what he had seen today: "That boss only planted a small plot of land; the rest of the land was not cultivated, and the seeds were not even planted, so the supply is indeed limited."

Li Qiaozhen hurriedly asked, "How much is 'only a small plot of land'?"

"It's... less than half an acre."

Li Qiaozhen: "Huh?"

So little?

She was also somewhat disheartened.

That seems to be a short-term business.

"Are you going to pick up the goods tomorrow or not?" Li Qiaozhen asked.

"Of course I'll go," Liu Weidong said. "Even short-term business is still business. We'll earn as much as we can each day! If we can make a month's worth of money in a day, why wouldn't we go?"

Li Qiaozhen: "That's true."

The well has been completed! Please check!

Jiang Li spent 2000 points to buy a well in the system's store.

This is a facility that the system mentioned is necessary for upgrading the farm to level 1. It's not expensive and it's very practical. You won't have to fetch water from the river to water the vegetable garden anymore!

Not only that, but it will also make daily life much more convenient!

Jiang Li hurriedly went out to check. The well was built in the open space between the vegetable garden and the safe house. It was a pulley well with a thick rope wrapped around the wooden frame at the wellhead. A water bucket given by the system was hanging below. You could just turn the hand crank to lower the bucket down, draw water, and then crank it back up.

Jiang Yan went over and tried it, laboriously raising a bucket of water. Looking into the bucket, he exclaimed, "Sister, this water is quite clear, much cleaner than the river water!"

I took a sip; it had a slightly sweet and cool taste.

Jiang Yan was very happy because he was the biggest beneficiary. He was the one who carried water every day, and now that there was a well, he didn't have to go to the river to fetch water anymore.

Today's income and expenses:

[100 jin of potatoes sold: +5000 points]

[Build a well: -2000 points]

Balance: 12499 points

Since the system shop was unlocked, daily income and expenditure details and balances can be viewed directly on the panel, saving Jiang Li a lot of trouble by eliminating the need for her to keep accounts herself.

Today, we only sold 100 jin of potatoes to Liu Weidong; Liu Qing and Jiang Tang didn't receive any income.

Jiang Li wasn't in a hurry. It would be good to let Jiang Tang rest for a day. She couldn't treat Jiang Tang like a beast of burden.

Jiang Tang called just then, "Xiao Li, I really feel uneasy not being able to do any work all day."

Jiang Li: "What's bothering you is not earning points, right? You used to complain about being tired every day, saying your hands and legs ached. Now that we're letting you rest, you're still not satisfied?"

Jiang Tang chuckled.

Jiang Li saw right through his little scheme.

I used to earn several thousand points every day, so I felt a bit uneasy if I didn't earn any points for a day.

Jiang Li asked her, "How's the situation in the safe zone? Is food easy to buy?"

Jiang Tang: "It's still not easy to buy; there are still many people hoarding food."

Jiang Li: "Actually, hoarding food is useless. The daily food distribution from the official granaries is limited according to the population. If no one hoards it, everyone can buy enough food to fill their stomachs. But if someone hoards it, those who can't buy it will go hungry."

Jiang Tang: "That makes sense. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the grain station did not raise prices, which benefited those private grain stores. The fine grain that used to cost 80 points is now selling for 120 points per kilogram because of the competition."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "That's perfect, I'll plant rice tomorrow and try to get it done as soon as possible so I can sell some around this time."

The paddy field of one acre has been prepared, and we will plant the rice in it tomorrow.

It's about how many days it will take for a mu (approximately 0.16 acres) of rice to ripen when the time comes, given the use of supernatural abilities to accelerate growth.

After all, growing rice is not like growing vegetables; the number of rice seedlings per acre is not small.

Lin An arrived at the front-line camp before dark, humming a song as he made his way to the familiar camp tent.

Two female soldiers, Song Yu and Tang You, stood at the entrance of the tent.

"Lin An? What brings you here?" Tang You looked at Lin An with surprise.

Song Yu also asked, "Weren't you temporarily transferred to the field area? Why are you back?"

Lin An: "I'm not back to rejoin the team this time, I'm just here to visit you all."

"Oh." Tang You and Song Yu exchanged a glance. "So Sister Lin missed us."

Lin An turned his head. "Who missed you? I just came over out of boredom, understand?"

Tang You nodded, "We understand, we understand!"

Lin An went inside and took a look; the huge camp tents were empty.

"Where's the captain?" she asked.

"Captain Tan and Sister Qin have taken Lin Zhiwei and the others to deal with a level four mutated black bear."

"A level four mutated black bear?" Lin An frowned. "Isn't that incredibly dangerous? Where did it come from?"

"They came from the northern dense forest," Tang You said. "Something happened in the dense forest, and many large mutated beasts escaped from there. Our camp is relatively close to the dense forest, so we often see large mutated beasts appearing there recently."

"The higher-ups have given orders to completely wipe out all the high-level mutated beasts that escaped from the forest, otherwise they will spread into the jurisdiction."

"Where is that level four mutated black bear that Captain Tan and her team were responsible for eliminating? I'd like to go take a look too," Lin An said.

Song Yu: "Sister Lin, you don't need to join in the fun. Captain Tan can handle it; he'll probably be back with his men soon."

"Oh, right, I have some good news," Tang You said with a smile. "Captain Tan's evolution level has increased! She's now a level seven strength evolver; she could kill a pig with one punch!"

Lin An: "That's a good thing."

Tan Xin's family is not well-off, and he has a sick younger sister. As Tan Xin's evolution level increases, the monthly evolution subsidy he can receive will also increase by one level, with each additional level adding 500 points!

Just then, Tan Xin returned with his men.

"Lin An?"

Tan Xin looked at Lin An with a puzzled expression. "What are you doing here?"

The seven or eight team members behind Tan Xin also surrounded Lin An, asking him a barrage of questions.

Lin An chatted with them briefly, then said with a smile, "I brought you some really good stuff this time! Wait here, I'll go to the car and bring it over for you."

Lin An returned to the car and brought over the strawberries, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

"Wow! Sister Lin, you actually brought us strawberries?"

The strawberry, as big as a fist, immediately attracted the attention of all the girls. Its glossy appearance captivated the hearts of countless young women.

"What's this? A potato? Why is it so big?" Someone picked up a large potato that weighed over a pound and looked at it curiously.

Some people looked suspicious and asked, "Sister Lin, did you bring us mutated potatoes? Are you trying to poison us?"
