I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

There are five wooden crates in total, each measuring 60cm x 45cm x 40cm, in natural wood color.

"Miss Jiang, this wooden crate can be disassembled."

Ye Hongjun showed her how to use the storage box.

As he spoke, he disassembled a box into three layers, each layer being a drawer-like frame.

Jiang Li then realized that this box was actually made up of three such structures stacked together, with grooves and pins at the four corners, which could be assembled by pressing them down.

"You can stack this box as many layers as you want, and it's convenient to store and access even when you're at home."

Ye Hongjun said, "The layered design also meets your transportation needs. If you're transporting strawberries or something, you don't have to worry about them being crushed."

"And you should try it. The wood is a mutated wood that I carefully selected. It's exceptionally light, yet both lightweight and sturdy."

Jiang Li took it, and sure enough, the box felt no different from plastic in her hand!

She was very satisfied!

That was a really good job.

Jiang Li transferred 500 points directly to Ye Hongjun. "50 points each. Make me 5 more of these boxes, for a total of 10."

Ye Hongjun only spent two hours making these five boxes. He didn't expect Jiang Li to be so generous, giving him 50 points for each box!

According to this calculation, wouldn't he have earned 500 points in just four hours?

This is truly a god of wealth!

Ye Hongjun was so excited he could hardly speak.

He knew that working hard was always the right thing to do!

"Oh, right." Ye Hongjun slapped his forehead, ran home, and brought back some wooden steamers, wooden spatulas, wooden vegetable washing basins, two wooden storage boxes for storing things like salt shakers, and a wooden chopstick holder.

"Miss Jiang, these little trinkets are for you. Consider it a favor to my business. They're nothing valuable."

Jiang Li didn't refuse and happily accepted them; these items were all quite practical.

Moreover, she discovered that many of the small items in her safe house, such as pots and pans, were given to her by Ye Hongjun; she hadn't spent any money to buy them herself.

After tidying everything up, Jiang Li prepared to cook dinner. Just then, Jiang Yan ran in and told her, "Sister, Liu Qing and Wei Zhou haven't returned yet."

Jiang Li frowned.

It's already past six o'clock, dusk has fallen, and we've missed the last bus between the fields and the safe zone. Why hasn't Liu Qing returned yet?

She asked Jiang Yan to go find Liu Qing, originally intending to ask Liu Qing how the high-quality potatoes were selling at the market, but unexpectedly Liu Qing still hadn't returned.

"Sister, Liu Qing must have been delayed by something, so she missed the bus back to Tianqu," Jiang Yan explained. "I saw her at the bus stop last time. She had just returned from the safe zone early this morning and said she had slept in the square of the safe zone overnight."

Jiang Li hadn't expected this. No wonder Liu Qing always seemed to be in a bad state whenever she came to pick up the goods.

Jiang Yan sighed, "If Wei Dahai had been even a little more diligent, Sister Liu wouldn't be so tired."

It's really not easy for a woman to take care of her children, tend to the crops in the fields, and run a business to earn money.

……

Liu Qing didn't close her stall until after six o'clock.

Although today's large potatoes look appealing, the survivors at the bottom of society don't care about the appearance of food. For them, anything that can fill their stomachs is a good thing, and to them, large potatoes are no different from ordinary potatoes.

So today's sales are about the same as yesterday, but because of the morning delay, we missed the last bus back to Tianqu.

"If you can't make it to grab a spot tomorrow, I can reserve one for you in advance," Li Tianlei said to the mother and son.

Liu Qing's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but the next second, she hesitated.

"Is this okay? Won't people talk about me if I keep taking up a spot?"

Li Tianlei smiled and said, "Don't worry! It won't happen."

"I'll just set up a bigger stall then, and when you come, I'll give you half of my spot."

That's one way to do it.

A smile appeared on Liu Qing's face.

That way, I won't have to worry about not finding a stall tomorrow, and I won't waste time or miss the bus back to Tianqu. After all, who wants to spend the night in the square all the time?

"Thank you, Brother Li."

Wei Zhou also sensibly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Uncle."

Li Tianlei: You're welcome.

He looked at Wei Zhou. This child was really sensible. He worked harder than the adults, like a little adult. But the more like this a child was, the more heartbreaking it was to see him.

After a busy day, I earned another 600 points.

I now have 3600 points.

But I can't go home today.

"Mom, I'm so hungry, are you hungry too?" Wei Zhou rubbed his stomach, having not eaten anything all day.

He was holding a large potato that was left over from today's sales, but he couldn't just eat it raw right now.

Liu Qing packed her things, took Wei Zhou's hand, and said, "Come on, Mom will take you to find a place to buy food."

There are many food stalls on both sides of this market street. At this time of day, the aroma of all kinds of food is wafting out, making people's mouths water.

Liu Qing led Wei Zhou into a noodle shop and ordered two bowls of noodles.

"Clear soup noodles: 40 points, egg noodles: 60 points. Which would you like?" the waiter asked.

Wei Zhou's eyes widened!

A bowl of noodles costs 40 points!

So expensive.

That's almost equivalent to half a pound of refined grain.

But a bowl of noodles doesn't need half a pound of grain; two ounces of flour would probably be enough.

"One bowl of clear soup noodles, one bowl of egg noodles," Liu Qing said.

Normally, Liu Qing would not be willing to eat such expensive food, but today she earned a full 600 points, which gave her some confidence. Moreover, she could go hungry, but she couldn't let her child go hungry as well. Zhouzhou had also been busy with her all day.

Soon, two bowls of noodles were served.

Wei Zhou took a look.

It's noodles sprinkled with scallions!

"Mom, here's an egg for you." He pushed the bowl in front of him towards her.

The poached egg lying inside looks delicious!

Liu Qing pushed it back to him, looking at Wei Zhou's thin face, "You eat it, you don't need to give it to your mother. You're still young and need to get more nutrition."

Wei Zhou nodded; he wanted to grow up quickly!

Holding the bowl, I took a sip of soup first.

After drinking the soup, he tasted the lard and exclaimed, "There's lard in this! And a lot of other seasonings too, it tastes really good."

No wonder it's so expensive!

It's completely different from the bland, watery soup I make at home.

Wei Zhou wolfed down his food.

The eggs are delicious too. Take a bite and the yolk inside the poached egg overflows. Take a sip and you'll be filled with the aroma of yolk.

Liu Qing smiled at him and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"tasty!"

"Mom, I wish I could eat this delicious egg noodles every day! It's a pity my little brother is still at home, he hasn't tasted it yet."

"It's okay. When we have money in the future, we can cook at home and eat the same thing."

Wei Zhou blinked. "Really?"

How wonderful it would be to eat egg noodles with the aroma of lard and scallions every day! But that would probably cost a lot of money, right? Eggs alone cost 20 points each, and lard is even more expensive; you have to buy pork to render it!

Liu Qing would never have dared to dream of this before, but now Miss Jiang has given her the opportunity to earn money. She can earn five or six hundred points a day. As long as she pays back the money she owes her older brother, she can eat whatever she wants with the five or six hundred points she earns every day.

She must work hard, seize this opportunity, and make her life prosperous.
