I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

"Xiao Mu and Xiao Qi earned a total of 243 points today."

This is a huge sum of money.

In addition, Xiao Mu and Xiao Qi brought back 16 jin of rice today. They used the points they earned together yesterday to buy potatoes and exchange them for rice. They heard that the potato seller was only selling potatoes for the last day, so they accumulated more points to earn more rice and wanted to save up some food.

Xiao Shu took out the cloth bag containing rice, opened it and looked at it. Yesterday, he received 33 jin of rice. Each of the 25 people ate a full bowl of rice, which consumed 4 jin. There were still 29 jin left. Today, he received another 16 jin of rice and had an extra 243 points.

45 jin of rice and 243 points—that's all they have.

Xiaoshu transferred 200 points to Xiaomu, saying, "Xiaomu, take these points and go buy some eggs."

Drinking only rice water for a long time without supplementing protein has made everyone too thin. Aunt Hong said that the lack of protein has weakened immunity and made people more susceptible to illness.

Xiao Jiu died of illness. On the day Xiao Jiu died, everyone cried their eyes out. Xiao Shu didn't want any of them to get sick, because if they got sick and didn't have money for treatment, they could only wait to die.

You need to eat eggs to supplement protein.

Eggs cost 20 points each, and 200 points can buy 10 eggs to make steamed egg custard, enough for each person to have a small half bowl.

When his mother was still alive, she told him that every child should eat an egg, drink a glass of milk, and eat meat every day, because that's the right thing to do.

But they simply couldn't afford it.

Lin Xiaomu quickly bought the eggs.

Just like yesterday, Xiaoshu cooked a big pot of rice and then made steamed eggs.

"Everyone mixes the steamed egg custard with rice and eats it together. The steamed egg custard is sprinkled with salt, which makes it taste even better."

A group of children gathered around a large pot, each holding a bowl of steamed egg custard mixed with rice, eating it with a spoon.

"The steamed egg custard is delicious."

Being able to eat steamed egg custard is an incredibly satisfying day for them.

The little tree collected all the eggshells, washed them clean, roasted them over a fire, and then ground them into powder with stones and stored them away.

This is a method Aunt Hong told him: eggshells can supplement calcium. He'll sprinkle them into the rice porridge tomorrow for everyone to drink.

Everyone is growing, so we should make use of whatever we can.

After dinner, a group of children gathered together to discuss picking up trash the next day.

"That woman said she will continue to collect garbage, and we can collect more garbage to sell to her tomorrow."

Lin Xiaomu: "Brother Xiaoshu, let's have more people go pick up trash tomorrow."

Xiaoshu: "It's a pity that we have to take a bus to go out and pay for the fare. We don't have enough points, so not all of us can go. Only five of us can go tomorrow. Let Xiaoshan and the others who are strong go and collect more trash to sell for money."

Lin Xiaomu stood up. "I'll go tell Aunt Hong that we'll go with her and the others tomorrow. Aunt Hong will take care of us."

After Lin Xiaomu left, a group of children looked out at the night sky through the dilapidated window, their eyes sparkling with anticipation. "We hope that tomorrow we can really earn a lot of points, just like Xiaomu said."

"..."

The braised fish is ready to serve, and its aroma is irresistible.

Jiang Tang brought the fish to the table, which was set with four other dishes, both meat and vegetables.

Just now, Jiang Yan and Lin An threshed all the harvested rice and packed it into 18 woven bags.

The yield is 1800 jin per mu, which is even higher than the yield before the apocalypse!

The 1800 jin of grain is currently piled up in the shop. It will be milled again tomorrow and then it will be pure white rice!

"I never thought farming would taste so good." Jiang Tang ate braised fish and scrambled eggs, feeling as if she had returned to the pre-apocalyptic world. The thought of the more than 1800 catties of grain in the warehouse gave her a great sense of security.

"This life doesn't feel like the end of the world at all; it's even better than before the apocalypse."

"It would be great if that little shop could be located in the safe zone; it would be much more convenient to sell vegetables there in the future."

Jiang Li: "If it were located in a safe zone, it would definitely cost more than this. Land in a safe zone is valuable, unlike outside where you only need to consider construction costs."

Besides, the shop can't be opened outside the farm; it can only be opened inside the farm.

While eating, Jiang Li opened the system shop again, remembering the gold coin shop the system had mentioned.

After clicking in.

Before my eyes was a dazzling golden light, filled with glittering, high-end goods!

Cherry tree saplings

Price: 10 gold coins

Durian seedlings

Hawthorn seedlings

Price: 10 gold coins.

Banana seedlings

Price: 10 gold coins...

Jiang Li stared wide-eyed!

Wow, so many good things! I didn't know until I saw them, and now my heart is pounding.

I really want it.

At the very bottom of the Gold Coin Shop, there is an additional line of text:

(All seeds and seedlings in this store are 100% resistant to mutation and will not mutate during the growth process.)

In addition to various fruit tree seedlings, Jiang Li also saw many seeds, such as the pea seeds and grape seeds that the system had given her before. These could all be found in the store. She had previously wondered why there were no seeds in an agricultural system store. It turned out that they were not purchased with points, but with gold coins.

A bag of pea seeds costs 20 gold coins, which is more expensive than a fruit tree seedling!

But how do you get gold coins?

Could it really be as the system said, that with her status as a mid-level farmer, she could dig it up from the ground?

Jiang Li planned to go to the field to dig again after dinner to see if she could find any gold coins.

Continuing to browse the gold coin shop, Jiang Li also saw something strange: a golden tree.

[Money Tree: Want your money to make money grow? Then buy a money tree! Don't doubt it, it really can shake out money.]

Jiang Li: "?"

Price: 9999 Gold Coins

"Xiao Li, what are you doing?" Jiang Tang saw that she wasn't eating and was staring blankly into space, so she put a large piece of fish into her bowl. "This fish is very fresh. Eat more to nourish your body."

Jiang Li snapped out of her daze, quickly finished a bowl of rice, then picked up a small hoe and ran to the field.

Lin An: "What is she going to do?"

Jiang Yan: "Going out to farm so late? My sister is working too hard."

Jiang Tang sighed, "Let her be. She probably ate too much and wants to digest."

Jiang Li arrived at the field.

It was a bit dark outside, but not completely dark yet, and you could still see some things.

Jiang Li dug in one place for a long time but found nothing.

They moved to another spot and continued digging, but still found nothing.

What happened?

Is the system playing a trick on her?

Can you really dig up gold from this ground?

Jiang Li dug for a full hour but didn't find a single gold coin.

God's.

I feel like I've been tricked.

She asked the system, "How can I dig out gold coins?"

At crucial moments, the system seems to die, remaining completely silent.

This couldn't go on. Jiang Li picked up a hoe and got up. She worked for an hour but got nothing. It was really disheartening.
