I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Jiang Wucheng: "Yeah! We need to go to the central base! It'll be easier to survive there. I heard the granaries there still have food, and they distribute it to the survivors every day!"

"This Ninth Base is a complete bastard! I came all this way through hell and they won't even give me a single grain of rice. They're trying to starve us to death!"

Lu Wanrong hesitated, "But what about the three children?"

"Leave them at Base 9, and let them live or die from now on, it's up to their own fate."

After saying this expressionlessly, Jiang Wucheng muttered to himself, "Not losing them on the way is already the best we parents can do."

"Look how many children are abandoned along the way! These days, even adults don't have enough food to eat! How can we afford to raise three children?"

"We at least brought them all to Base 9 intact..."

As Jiang Wucheng was speaking, he suddenly heard a noise. He turned around and saw Jiang Tang, who was fifteen years old at the time, standing there with tears streaming down her face, looking at them.

"Dad, Mom, where are you going?"

Jiang Wucheng was startled. "When did you wake up?"

Jiang Tang overheard Jiang Wucheng and Lu Wanrong's conversation clearly. Instinctively, she knelt down and begged them, "Dad, Mom, please don't leave! We can go out and find food ourselves. My younger brother and sister are still small; they can't be without their parents..."

Despite Jiang Tang's pleas, Jiang Wucheng seemed not to see them, opened the door, and disappeared from Jiang Tang's sight.

When Jiang Tang finally calmed down, she felt as if the sky had fallen.

Their parents abandoned them, just as countless parents would do in the apocalypse.

Later, Jiang Wucheng and Lu Wanrong never returned.

"Where are Mom and Dad?" Back then, young Jiang Li and Jiang Yan looked forward to their parents coming back every day and even made a fuss about going out to look for them.

How are they going to find Jiang Wucheng and Lu Wanrong? Even if they do find them, will Jiang Wucheng and Lu Wanrong still acknowledge them?

So Jiang Tang simply said, "My parents are dead."

As her thoughts returned, Jiang Tang rubbed her moist eyes. "Xiao Li, don't blame your sister. Back then, you and Xiao Yan didn't understand anything and kept insisting on going to find them. In order to put you at ease, I had no choice but to give up your hopes."

Jiang Li sighed.

"Even though we don't have parents, we still survived." Jiang Tang felt much more relaxed thinking about how she had enough to eat and drink now.

The little piglet came running over and nuzzled against Jiang Tang, as if trying to comfort her.

Jiang Li: "During those ten years of turmoil, even if they fled back then, it's not certain that they'd still be alive now."

Jiang Tang nodded. "That makes sense. Maybe they really are dead."

Let's just pretend they're dead.

【Task:】

[Gaining Some Fame: Attract 100 tourists to make purchases at your farm within three days (Progress 168/100)]

Currently, the task panel only has these two tasks.

On the third day of the special offer, Jiang Li arrived at the bus stop around the same time. She saw many people coming from the dark alley, and one woman stood out. She was wearing an eye patch and had only one eye.

Ji Hong took the potatoes from Jiang Li and discovered that this person hadn't shortchanged her on the scale; in fact, there was an extra ounce or two.

Jiang Li: "There's nothing I can do, my potatoes are just that big, I can't precisely control the quantity."

Ji Hong clearly had more than five jin of potatoes in her hand, but there were actually only five of them, which was indeed a large quantity.

She thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Will you still be selling discounted potatoes tomorrow?"

Jiang Li shook her head, "Today is the last day, it won't be tomorrow. I'm only doing this business for three days."

Ji Hong thought it made sense; no one would keep doing business at a loss. She still couldn't help but say "thank you."

"Because of you, Xiaoshu and the others have food to eat. Some of us haven't eaten for days, but yesterday everyone had rice."

She didn't hide anything from Jiang Li, telling him about how she bought potatoes at a low price yesterday and then sold them at a higher price to exchange for rice. "We were able to get a lot of rice, and we made a lot of money from the difference."

Jiang Li: "The potatoes are yours once they're sold to you. You can do whatever you want with them."

"By the way, do you usually make a living by collecting garbage?" Jiang Li asked her.

Ji Hong was taken aback upon hearing this.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it," Jiang Li said. "I meant, if you're picking up trash, I can collect it here."

Ji Hong blinked her one eye. "You collect the trash?"

Jiang Li nodded, "Yes."

Ji Hong: "Do you collect waste cardboard boxes, scrap iron plates, and mineral water bottles? How much do you charge per kilogram?"

Jiang Li: "..."

This garbage is not that garbage.

Jiang Li whispered in her ear, "The 'garbage' I'm talking about refers to mutated plants, but they must be edible mutated plants. Do you understand?"

Ji Hong's eyes lit up instantly.

Aren't those just mutated wild vegetables and fruits? You can find them everywhere! There are tons of them!

"You...you're not lying to me? You're going to take these things? But what are you going to do with them? These are all pollutants; no one has ever taken these things before."

Jiang Li: "If others won't accept it, I will."

"1.2-1.7 points per jin (500g)"

Upon hearing this, Ji Hong's eyes flashed with disbelief, "1.2-1.7 points per jin?"

"Are you really willing to pay such a high price to recycle toxic substances?"

Jiang Li nodded.

Ji Hong clenched her fists, her heart trembling!

Does this person know what they're talking about? These things are everywhere in the apocalypse, but they're worthless.

She actually wants to recycle these useless things, and at such a high price!

"Are you keeping your word? If what you're saying is true, I'll take some people to collect trash right now. I can collect as much as you want!"

Jiang Li: "Of course I mean it. I'll take all the trash you find, no limit."

"Okay, you said it yourself."

Ji Hong left in a hurry, but instead of leaving the field area, she led a few people from her team and a few children to a bamboo forest in the field area.

The bamboo forest covers an area of ​​about ten acres. She noticed the bamboo forest when the bus passed by. It was full of bamboo shoots, and there were at least three or four thousand kilograms of garbage inside.

Even at a buyback price of 1.2 points per kilogram, that's several thousand points!

This isn't trash; it's money!

"Quick, pick up the money, no, pick up the trash!"

Before the others could react, someone asked, "Sister Hong, why did you bring us here?"

Ji Hong: "Quick, everyone, start digging for bamboo shoots!"

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man in the team said, "But Xiao Guang and I came to measure it a long time ago. None of the bamboo shoots left in this forest are edible. If there were any edible ones, Xiao Guang and I would have picked them up just now."

Ji Hong: "It's okay, we don't need to look for edible ones, inedible ones are fine too, there are people willing to pay to buy these mutated bamboo shoots."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Their eyes widened in surprise.

"What? Someone's willing to pay for these mutated bamboo shoots?"

"Sister Hong, you're not lying, are you?"
