I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Jiang Tang was unaware of Jiang Li's far-reaching ambitions. To her, living in a B-level containment cell, having potatoes to eat every day, and earning points already made her much better off than most survivors in the safe zone.

She is an easily satisfied person; if life could continue like this, that would be enough for her.

The two sisters chatted for a few minutes, then hung up the phone. Jiang Tang cooked two dishes and continued watching a melodramatic pre-apocalyptic drama while eating, becoming increasingly engrossed in it.

"Miss Jiang!"

Just after finishing her meal, Jiang Li heard someone shouting outside the safe house.

When Jiang Li went outside, she saw Liu Qing, who was also with Wei Zhou.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Li asked.

Liu Qing told Jiang Li about the restaurant owner's offer to buy goods from her today.

Jiang Li nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, I understand. I will plant more potatoes."

I don't know what to plant tomorrow. Potatoes are buried in the ground and won't be pecked by birds. So, I'll plant more potatoes tomorrow and plant rice at the same time.

In addition, she bought a lot of sweet potato seeds from a seed shop in the safe zone today, and will plant them tomorrow.

Before leaving, Liu Qing handed her a small bag of grapes, purple grapes, juicy and fresh.

It looks delicious.

"Miss Jiang, I earned quite a few points today. I saw grapes for sale at the imported fruit store, and they looked delicious, so I brought you some."

Liu Qing didn't know how to thank Jiang Li. Jiang Li gave her the opportunity to make money and changed her whole life, so she wanted to buy her some things that she couldn't usually buy.

Grapes are a specialty of the Third Base. In order to maintain a monopoly, the Third Base does not sell grape seeds to outsiders, so if you want to eat grapes, you can only import them.

[Congratulations on receiving a gift from the world's inhabitants! Grapes, which were readily available in supermarkets before the apocalypse, are now monopolized by certain unscrupulous farms and sold at exorbitant prices. As a farmer, are you willing to accept this?]

[Special bonus: 10 bags of 100% anti-mutation purple grape seeds! Start planting grapes now! Let your hand-grown grapes reach the market and showcase your status as a farmer!]

Jiang Li: "..."

Why is she a little speechless?

She still wants to show off her prestige? She's already a farmer who toils in the fields, what prestige is there to talk about?

However, Jiang Li did not expect that someone giving her fruit could trigger a hidden reward. She wondered if the reward could be triggered whenever someone gave her fruit, or if it could only be triggered in specific situations.

Anyway, having a reward is never a bad thing.

"How many points did you spend to buy these grapes?" Jiang Li asked Liu Qing.

"250 points per pound".

Jiang Li was surprised.

It is indeed very expensive.

Fruit is a high-end market. For example, the local fruit strawberries of the Ninth Base sell for a high price of 220 points per kilogram.

After delivering the grapes, Liu Qing led Wei Zhou back home.

Wei Zhou was still thinking about the fruits he had seen in the imported fruit store today!

There were grapes, cantaloupe, and blueberries, but he didn't recognize any of them. His mother had to teach him to identify them one by one.

"Mom, those fruits look so delicious!"

On his way back with the grapes, all he could think about was what they tasted like. Would they be very sweet? After all, the air in the fruit shop was sweet and fragrant.

As survivors at the bottom of society, they don't have enough points to buy expensive fruit, and many of them haven't eaten fruit since the apocalypse.

Liu Qing chuckled, "Silly child, you actually ate it when you were little, but you were only three years old then, so naturally you don't remember it."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhou lowered his head. "It's such a pity, I can't remember what it tasted like at all."

It would be such a waste to eat something so delicious and not remember it!

Back home, Liu Qing took out a bag of fine rice she had bought from the safe zone and placed it on the table; it weighed 10 jin (5 catties).

Recently, grain prices have risen, and this rice was bought from a private grain store, costing 1200 points.

When Wei Dahai saw the white rice, his eyes widened immediately!

After removing the outer husk and germ, a handful of rice feels incredibly smooth and delicate!

"It's actually polished rice!" Wei Dahai exclaimed excitedly, his eyes shining as he looked at Liu Qing. "Where did it come from?"

"Given by my maternal family."

Liu Qing couldn't possibly hide the grain she bought like a thief every time. Even if Wei Dahai could eat a lot, his appetite was limited. With points to buy grain, the family would never run out of food again, and everyone could have enough to eat.

There are still many sweet potatoes left from the last digging, but Liu Qing still wants the two children to eat better. Wei Zhou wants to eat fruit, but she can't afford it. However, they can still eat better staple foods.

Wei Dahai: "Your family has finally had a change of heart."

"How could they give you such good rice? Was it from your mother-in-law or your brother?"

Liu Qing is now completely unashamed when she lies, and she speaks as if it were the truth: "My eldest brother made some money in the grain business. I told him that we were out of grain at home, and he felt sorry for his two nephews, so he gave them some."

Wei Dahai smiled and said, "Your eldest brother is the best! I've known for a long time that he's much better than your second brother. I'll thank him in person when I see him another day."

While the two adults were talking, Wei Zhou went into the room to find Wei Xiaohan.

"Brother." Wei Xiaohan was playing with mutated building blocks on the bed. When she saw Wei Zhou return, she quickly got off the bed and hugged her brother.

Wei Xiaohan relies more on her older brother than on her parents.

Wei Zhou locked the door and took out a handful of candy from his pocket.

Wei Xiaohan's eyes widened slightly when she saw it. "Brother, where did you get this candy?"

Wei Zhou: "It was given to me by Uncle Li."

Wei Xiaohan had heard Wei Zhou talk about Uncle Li. Her brother said that Uncle Li was a very good person, and that he also wanted to be a man like Uncle Li, someone who was very manly, would take care of their mother, and would protect her.

"Uncle Li is so good to me. This candy was given to me by him; he bought it especially for me!"

Wei Zhou said, "Wei Dahai won't buy us candy, but Uncle Li will."

Wei Xiaohan blinked.

Uncle Li is indeed a good person, even better than Dad!

Wei Zhou peeled off the candy wrapper, revealing amber-colored cubes inside. It was maltose, the most common candy in the Ninth Base supermarket, because it was made from malt. Compared to sugarcane, beets, and fruits, wheat was a crop grown in every base and was easier to obtain.

Even so, maltose is still very expensive, sold by the piece at the base supermarket for 15 points each.

"Uncle Li gave me more than ten!" Wei Zhou popped one into Wei Xiaohan's mouth. "Is it sweet?"

Wei Xiaohan nodded. "It's very sweet, brother. You should have some too."

"Um."

Wei Zhou also peeled one, and put the rest in his pocket, intending to eat one every day from now on.

Jiang Li poured oil into the pot, and after the oil was hot, she poured a large bowl of green peas that she had shelled and frozen that morning into the pot. The peas collided with the hot oil, making a "crackling" sound, like setting off firecrackers, which was very lively.

Lin An was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
