I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Chen Xiue opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Why?"

Jiang Li: "I've said it before, I won't associate with the Chen family."

When Chen Xiue bought discounted grain to get a spot last time, she said that she really couldn't deal with people with such cunning schemes.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu'e's face instantly turned ugly. "You accept the bamboo shoots others dig, but you won't accept the ones I dig! We're all from the same farming area, why are you targeting me!"

Jiang Li: "I'm not targeting you, but you know your Chen family's character well. My bamboo shoot weighing machine is on the farm. If you want to sell bamboo shoots, you have to bring them in to be weighed! If I accept your bamboo shoots and let you into my farm, wouldn't things be going to go missing from my farm every few days?"

"What do you mean by that? I didn't steal anything from you."

Jiang Li sneered, "Do you think I'd believe you if you said you wouldn't steal? Your whole family are thieves, and you even encouraged your three grandsons to steal. If I really put you in jail, whether you steal or not would be up to you!"

Chen Xiue gritted her teeth.

This little girl! Is it really necessary to be so wary of her?

"If you won't let me in, then weigh my bamboo shoots here and give me whatever price you owe. I heard you charge 1.4 points per pound for bamboo shoots, and I have at least 30 pounds of them, so you should give me at least 42 points."

Jiang Li glanced at her indifferently, "I don't have time to come over every time to weigh bamboo shoots for you. Take your things and leave. I won't accept your things."

After saying that, Jiang Li turned and went inside, preparing to lock the farm gate. But then she thought that people would come to buy rice, and that people would be coming and going frequently today, so the farm gate couldn't be locked forever.

She thought for a moment and then went to find Lin An.

"There are a lot of people coming and going from the farm today, so we won't thresh the rest of the grain. Go and watch the gate, especially Chen Xiu'e. Don't let her step into the farm."

Lin An looked up upon hearing this. "Chen Xiu'e is here again?"

"Um."

"What's she doing here?"

Jiang Li: "She wanted to sell the trash, but I didn't buy it."

Lin An didn't say anything more. He put down his work, got up, and went to check on the gate.

Jiang Yan carried a bag of rice onto the counter and said, "It seems Chen Xiu'e knows she can make money by collecting garbage."

"The people who bought rice earlier were also asking me what that machine in our farm does. They said they saw people in the alley dragging bamboo shoots into the farm. Some of them weren't even there to buy rice, but specifically to ask if we buy mutated bamboo shoots."

Jiang Li: "They'll find out sooner or later."

Jiang Li officially posted a message in the landlords' group:

I regularly collect agricultural waste, priced at 1.2-1.7 points per kilogram. Feel free to bring your waste to the farm to sell!

As soon as these words were spoken, the group chat exploded.

Those who were secretly observing and speculating had long been restless. If picking up trash could really make money, they would want to do it too! But Jiang Li didn't say anything, and they weren't sure if it was true.

Now that it's confirmed that digging bamboo shoots can really make money, the group was overjoyed!

[@Jiang Li, so you're really collecting mutated bamboo shoots? Are those people in the alleys digging up bamboo shoots to exchange for points?]

[Jiang Li: Yes, I asked them to dig it up.]

[At least 1.2 yuan per jin? Does that mean you can exchange over 40 jin of mutated bamboo shoots for just one jin of rice?]

Although the recycling price is very low, mutated plants are everywhere. Take the bamboo forest in the field area for example. It covers several hundred acres and contains at least tens of thousands of kilograms of bamboo shoots.

[@Landowner #121, my land used to be a jujube orchard, full of mutated jujube trees. I haven't had time to cut them down yet. Can I sell these mutated green jujubes?]

[Jiang Li: Yes, the price of fruit is higher than that of vegetables and bamboo shoots.]

That's great!

The message was sent by a young man who looked at the jujube grove in front of him and felt like he was about to strike it rich!

He was new to farming and complained about the land when he bought it because no one helped him clear the hundreds of mutated jujube trees. These mutated jujube trees had grown to five or six meters tall over the years, and now it was the season for the jujubes to ripen. Each tree was covered with many mutated jujubes, all of them quite large.

If I could exchange them for points, I'd take them all down!

After sending the message, the man happily picked up a bamboo pole, rushed into the jujube orchard, and began to knock down the mutated green jujubes on the trees. The dense green jujubes fell like rain.

The man called his wife to pick up the green dates. His wife had also learned that the green dates could be sold for money, and she picked them up very quickly. These mutated green dates were plentiful and large, and even if they only sold for 1 point per pound, they could still make a lot of money!

"..."

Wow! The rice I bought this time smells so good!

After a busy day, the children returned to the dark alley and cooked rice with the rice they bought from Jiang Li. When they lifted the lid, the aroma of rice was stronger than ever before.

"The rice grown by the scrap metal dealer is very large, unlike the rice we bought before."

The five children who went to the field today earned a total of 860 points.

"We're rich now," Little Tree said, counting his points. "Not only are we rich, we're also got rice."

There was no need to queue to buy rice from the scrap metal dealer, so they bought another 10 jin (5 catties) of rice before leaving.

Xiaoshu also brought back twenty cups of soy milk. Those who went today got free soy milk, but the rest of the people didn't go, so she brought back twenty cups of soy milk to give each of them one.

He asked Xiao Mu and Xiao Qi to distribute the soy milk.

"This is a nutritious product, just like milk, so you should drink it well."

The group of children were flattered and overwhelmed.

"Do we all have the money to drink soy milk now?"

I can't believe it.

Xiaoshu: "The scrap dealer said that today is the first day of selling soy milk, and it will only cost 10 points a cup. Starting tomorrow, the price will increase. However, even if the price increases, it will not be more expensive than in the safe zone. She said that her shop is located in a deserted area, so the items will be cheaper than in the safe zone."

"Will we still be able to drink soy milk tomorrow?" a child asked.

"Of course!" Little Tree nodded. "The scrap metal dealer encouraged us to collect trash diligently, saying that as long as we work hard, we can earn lots and lots of points! We can buy lots and lots of delicious food and drinks and never go hungry."

Although they are small, they can earn a lot of money just like adults, and they can drink soy milk every day from now on!

"Wow!"

"Let's eat! Everyone can have a big bowl of rice today."

Everyone gathered around the pot and ate the most filling meal they had ever had. They didn't have to worry about running out of rice the next day, because they could also earn a lot of money.

[The glory of the King of Trash shines upon the earth, and people are made happier because they can scavenge for trash. Isn't recycling a way to benefit humanity? Your talent for recycling is beginning to show. Congratulations, you've activated your side job [Trash Recycler]!]

Jiang Li: ?

I opened the panel and took a look.
