I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

vegetable market.

When Jiang Yan took out the tomatoes and potatoes, Jiang Tang looked puzzled.

"Why are there tomatoes and potatoes again today? And why are these potatoes so big, round, and golden?"

Jiang Yan wiped the sweat from his brow. "These are some high-quality potatoes that my second sister just grew! They're big and look great; they'll definitely sell out quickly!"

Jiang Tang picked up a large potato and looked at it. "It does look pretty good."

The two arranged the potatoes and tomatoes.

"Big sister, I need to hurry back and get back to work."

Jiang Tang nodded, "Okay, you can go back now."

The golden potatoes on the stall quickly attracted the attention of passersby.

After all, the potatoes at other people's stalls and the potatoes at Jiangtang's stall are practically two different things.

"Boss, what variety are these potatoes? Why are they so big and yellow?"

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "These are high-quality large potatoes, a new variety. You can't buy them anywhere else, only I have them. Why don't you buy a few to try?"

The man thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll buy a few."

I randomly picked two, put them on the scale, and they actually weighed 2.7 jin (1.85 catties). I was immediately ashamed.

Is this some kind of potato king? It's incredible.

The person paid 162 points and left.

When I get back, I'll have to find out exactly what kind of variety it is and whether it tastes any different.

"Look over there! Huge potatoes! Like golden eggs!"

"Let's go take a look!"

Many people were drawn to the large, uniformly sized, golden potatoes and gathered around.

"Boss, I'd like to buy a potato!"

One is enough for one meal.

"I'll buy one too! This potato looks a bit different from the others; I want to try it."

Many people buy them out of curiosity to try them out.

Some people, however, confidently asserted that these potatoes were definitely good potatoes, saying, "Such beautiful potatoes must taste delicious!"

Jiang Tang's stall only had about forty large potatoes in total. One for each of us, and the potatoes were sold out very quickly.

Even Jiang Tang was somewhat surprised.

Sure enough, good appearance leads to good sales; the potatoes were sold out in less than an hour.

"Beautiful boss! I just heard someone at the market entrance say you sell high-quality potatoes here. Do you still have any? I'd like to buy some."

Jiang Tang shook her head. "They're all sold out. Come back another day."

The man was disappointed upon hearing this.

He saw the big, golden potatoes that those people were holding, and they looked delicious. He had come specifically to ask about them because he loved potatoes, but he never expected that they were all sold out.

Aside from the 110 jin of potatoes given to Jiang Tang and Liu Qing, Jiang Li and Lin An dug up another 91 jin of edible potatoes from the ground, and the remaining mutated potatoes were cleaned out and thrown away.

This time, the total output is significantly higher than the last time.

The two of them were busy until midday when they finally finished. The little piglet ran over and rubbed against Jiang Li's leg.

Jiang Li knew it was hungry, so she steamed a big potato for it to eat.

As a result, Zhu Cuihua ate it and suddenly fainted with a "plop".

Jiang Li was stunned when she saw this.

Is this what is going on?

"These potatoes of yours aren't poisonous, are they?" Lin An asked in surprise. "Your pigs were poisoned by the potatoes you grew!"

Jiang Li frowned. "How is that possible?"

She touched the piglet's body; it wasn't stiff and was still breathing. She didn't know what had happened; the pig had suddenly fainted.

Just as I was wondering, the little piglet suddenly woke up! It kicked its legs and got up from the ground!

After getting up, he hurriedly continued eating potatoes, tears streaming down his face as he ate. Jiang Li was baffled, wondering what was wrong with this pig all of a sudden.

"Boss, I'd like to buy twenty catties of polished rice."

Chen Jiqi went to the grain store.

The shopkeeper weighed out 20 jin (10 catties) of rice and handed it over, saying, "1600 points."

Chen Jiqi was about to pay when, a second later, the points table showed, "Insufficient balance."

Chen Jiqi was stunned for a moment and found that he only had 843 points in his points card.

How could you not have money?

Chen Jiqi frowned.

Upon reflection, he realized that he had received a salary of 4000 yuan at the beginning of the month, spent 1000 yuan on Qiu Mei's rent, 299 yuan on clothes for Qiu Mei, and 758 yuan on potatoes and rice for Qiu Mei yesterday. In addition, he had also transferred 200 points to Qiu Mei.

A total of 2057 points were spent on Qiu Mei.

In addition, he bought various miscellaneous items and a new pair of shoes for his mother, spending over a thousand yuan in total.

He earned 4000 points as a salary, but in half a month, he spent over 3000, leaving him with only 800...

"Are you still going to buy it or not?" the shopkeeper urged him when he saw him standing there in a daze.

Chen Jiqi: "Buy 10 jin of refined rice."

After spending 800 points, my card was instantly reduced to only 43 points.

Leaving the grain store, Chen Jiqi looked at the balance on his card, his brow furrowed.

Only half a month had passed, and his salary was already gone. He never expected that points would be so easily spent.

Back home, Zhao Yongxiang looked at the ten jin of rice Chen Jiqi had brought back and asked in confusion, "Didn't I tell you to buy 20 jin? Why did you only buy 10 jin?"

There are two people in the family, so we'll need at least 20 jin (10 catties) of food for the next two weeks; 10 jin (5 catties) definitely won't be enough.

"Mom, I'm out of money on my points card. I can only buy 10 jin (5 catties) of it."

Zhao Yongxiang: "Then why didn't you buy brown rice? Brown rice is cheaper, and you could buy more."

Chen Jiqi thought about the texture of the coarse rice...

"Mom, we've always eaten refined rice, how can we get used to eating coarse rice? We'll start with these ten pounds of rice, and I'll figure something out if it's not enough."

Zhao Yongxiang held the rice and sighed.

"If you and Qiumei have another child in the future, there will be one more person to feed, and your salary will not be enough. I will go to the job market to see if I can find some work."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiqi's face darkened immediately. "Mom, what are you saying? You're already this old; it's time for you to enjoy your retirement. How can you go and do those dirty and tiring jobs?"

The jobs you can find in the job market are nothing more than manual labor, carrying goods, and cleaning – all tiring and low-paying jobs.

"Mom, don't worry about the points. Qiu Mei is doing handicrafts now, and she'll definitely be able to earn money like Jiang Tang. Our family won't be short of money."

After lunch, Chen Jiqi called Qiu Mei to ask how her handicrafts were going.

"Brother Chen, I know why Jiang Tang is able to earn points now."

Qiu Mei revealed the truth she had witnessed while following Jiang Tang yesterday: "Jiang Tang was buying dolls in Zone 1. She specializes in making money off rich people, so naturally she can make a profit."

Chen Jiqi never expected it to be like this.

It turns out that Jiang Tang's stall was located in the No. 1 wealthy residential area.

Qiu Mei: "Brother Chen, after thinking it over, I think I should also set up a stall in Zone 1. Only rich people will buy these dolls. We can't make money from poor people."

Chen Jiqi thought this made sense.

He nodded. "Well, since Jiang Tang is setting up a stall in Zone 1, let's set up our stall there too."

"Qiu Mei, I'll go with you after get off work today."

He also hoped that Qiu Mei's business could get back on track as soon as possible.

"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiqi looked at Zhao Yongxiang and said, "Mom, Qiumei and I will set up a stall in Zone 1 tonight. We're sure to make a lot of money. You don't need to worry about the family's livelihood. Once Qiumei's business is up and running, you can stay home and take care of the children."

Zhao Yongxiang smiled and nodded, "Okay."

If Jiang Tang can support her family by selling dolls, Qiu Mei can definitely do it too!

The middle-aged man carried the large potatoes he had brought back from the market back to the shelter.

The man handed the potato to his wife and said, "I'm making potato soup today."

The wife took the potato, glanced into the inner room, and said to the man:

"Dad hasn't eaten anything these past few days, and this stewed potato dish doesn't taste very good. He definitely won't be able to eat it. How about we borrow some points to buy some meat for him to try?"
