I became a farmer in the apocalypse.
Chapter 144 Staying as an Employee
Jiang Li still remembers when she first transmigrated, she fought against a man who evolved at the first level. In her eyes, that man was no different from an ordinary person.
However, once it evolves to level ten, the situation changes.
If she were to fight Lin An right now, even using all her fighting skills, she probably wouldn't be able to beat him. After all, her physical strength is what it is; if Lin An were to kick her, several of her ribs would be broken.
Jiang Li drew two stick figures on the ground with a small twig. One was incredibly tall, hands on hips, sneering, while the other was weak, pitiful, and trembling. That was the difference.
In summary, they can't beat them in a fight, and they can't outrun them either. In the eyes of advanced evolved beings, ordinary people are like toys, at the mercy of their opponents.
"Can I go and see the pumpkins you planted again?" Qiao Wu asked.
"Can."
Qiao Wu arrived at the pumpkin patch. "How long did it take for these pumpkins to grow?"
"Two days."
Qiao Wu felt a longing in her heart.
If only she could grow a lot of food, farming is too difficult, that's why food is so expensive.
My phone suddenly rang; it was my mother, Xu Shufen, calling.
The signal in the field area was poor. After the call was connected, there was a crackling sound from the other end, and the sound was intermittent. It took Qiao Wu a long time to understand what Xu Shufen was saying.
"Where have you been? Why aren't you back yet?"
Qiao Wu didn't say anything and hung up the phone directly.
"Was that your mother calling?" Jiang Li looked at her with a puzzled expression.
How could a mother speak to her daughter in such a rude and vicious tone?
Qiao Wu sighed, "They only care about my brother; I'm just superfluous."
"My brother is eleven months younger than me. When my parents' first child was a girl, they couldn't wait to have a second child, and my brother got pregnant."
"Before the apocalypse, my brother always got the best food at home. It was even more so after the apocalypse. When there was no food, the three of them ate more, and I ate less."
"My brother is getting married, and the other party is asking for a dowry of 100,000 points. My family doesn't have the money, so my mom is telling me to find a military officer to marry as soon as possible so we can have money to pay the dowry for my brother..."
Now that they know she can receive a subsidy of 100 million points, her family is overjoyed.
Qiao Wu had never seen Xu Shufen so happy before.
Suddenly, she didn't want to collect the 100 million points subsidy anymore. After collecting it, the burden just kept piling up, and she didn't want to go back to that home at all.
"I've made up my mind. I want to stay here and farm. I don't want to go back to that home."
Jiang Li looked at her and said, "Have you thought this through? Actually, you can have a bright future in the farm. You can earn 10,000 points a month and live a very comfortable life, as long as you don't give the money to your parents and keep it for yourself."
Qiao Wu shook her head. "The planters travel to and from the safe zone every day, and they eat and live in the safe zone. They know I have a lot of points, so Xu Shufen and Qiao Zhigang won't let me have an easy life."
"Alright then, as long as you've thought it through."
"But I don't have money to buy you nutritional supplements right now. I'll buy them for you when I have the money."
Jiang Li felt like an incompetent boss, unable to even afford to buy nutritional supplements for her employees; it was truly pathetic.
Qiao Wu knew that the nutrient solution Jiang Li mentioned was something that did not belong to this world.
She didn't care. "I don't care whether I drink the nutrient solution or not, as long as you provide food and accommodation. If I can eat pumpkin pancakes every day, that would be even better."
Jiang Li squatted on the ground, drawing circles, still thinking about earning gold coins. "Don't worry, I'm just a farmer, I won't let you go hungry or thirsty."
Lin An searched for Jiang Li for a long time but couldn't find her. He then discovered Jiang Li squatting in a corner with Qiao Wu.
"What are you two doing squatting here?"
Jiang Li: "You've come at the right time. Let me introduce you. From now on, Qiao Wu will be an employee of our farm."
Upon hearing this, Lin An extended his hand to Qiao Wu, "Hello, I'm the farm security guard."
Qiao Wu was taken aback. "Are you a veteran? Did you come here to work as a security guard after you were discharged?"
Jiang Li laughed, "No, she's not. 'Security guard' is a title she gave herself. She's a border guard, and the base pays her a salary. I only need to cover her food and drink."
In Qiao Wu's eyes, the border guards were a very powerful group of people. He had heard that only advanced evolved beings were qualified to join the border guards; otherwise, they would just be used as food for mutated beasts.
……
Pumpkin pancakes - 15 points each.
Soy milk - 15 points/cup.
Jiang Yan carried a large box of freshly baked pumpkin cakes and placed it on the stall cart.
A group of people gathered around.
"What's this? It smells so good."
Jiang Tang: "These are pumpkin cakes, made with freshly grown pumpkins."
"It looks delicious! The outside is crispy and crunchy, and it smells like ripe pumpkin."
"A pumpkin pancake only costs 15 points, which is less expensive than an egg!"
It looks so tempting! I've earned quite a few points selling trash today, enough to buy a pumpkin pancake.
"Little Tree, they're all buying pumpkin pancakes, I want to eat some too..." Xiao Mu said longingly.
Little Tree smiled and said, "Buy whatever you want to eat. We've already earned points, and we have plenty of rice stored at home!"
The children's eyes lit up when they heard this.
Little Tree approached the stall. "Sister, I want seven pumpkin pancakes!"
Jiang Tang wrapped it in a paper bag and handed it to him, saying, "Be careful, it's hot."
Little Tree gave out his points, took the pumpkin pancakes, and returned to the group of children. "Here, one for each of you."
A group of children were happily sharing pumpkin cakes.
Everyone sat under the shade of the tree, eating pumpkin pancakes and drinking soy milk, feeling that all the hard work of the morning was worth it.
"The food outside is so delicious and affordable. Where else in the safe zone can you find such good pumpkin pancakes?"
"Even if you want to eat it in the safe zone, you can't buy it!"
"Exactly! One bite, and it's both sweet and filling..."
Ji Hong watched everyone enjoying the steaming pumpkin pancakes with great satisfaction. The people in the alley had never experienced anything like this before. They worried about food every day, and smiles were never seen on their faces. Now they could earn money, buy delicious food to fill their stomachs, and were content every day.
"Why are so many people suddenly coming to the farm?" Qiao Wu looked at the bustling scene in front of her with a bewildered expression; it was almost like a market street.
Jiang Li explained to her that these people were there to sell their trash and gave a detailed explanation of how to use the trash recycling machine.
Qiao Wu was shocked to hear this!
"Is this for real?"
Looking into the other person's burning gaze, Jiang Li suddenly had a bad feeling.
"You want to go pick up trash too, don't you?"
No!
You came here to work for me, didn't you? If you go and pick up trash too, who will do the work for me?
Qiao Wu scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Don't worry, I only pick up trash in my spare time."
