I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

She didn't have time to dig up many of the green resource points today, if only she had more space...

And this is only three kilometers outside the mountain.

When she left, there were still many green dots on the online image, flashing and waiting for her.

It's a pity, we'll have to go dig again next time.

"I'll give you 12 jin of bracken fern, 11 jin of pea shoots, and all the houttuynia cordata in points."

"Bracken fern costs 60 points per pound, pea shoots cost 65 points per pound, and houttuynia cordata costs 55 points per pound, for a total of 1902 points."

"1902 points..."

Just hearing that number makes one's heart itch.

"We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich!"

In just one day, I found resources that earned me nearly two thousand points, and I even kept quite a few for myself!

This trip up the mountain is almost equivalent to what someone else earns in a month of hard work in the safe zone!

Looking further into the distance at the endless mountain range, Jiang Li felt that it wasn't really a mountain—

That's practically a gold mine!

The future is expected!

The sun had already set, and the crowd watching the commotion at the bus stop gradually dispersed. Jiang Li carried the remaining wild vegetables back to the safe house.

Jiang Yan was working hard in the field when he saw Jiang Li return. He quickly dropped his hoe and ran over. "Sister! You're back! Are you hungry? I've already cooked the rice!"

Jiang Li: "Why didn't you ask me if I brought back any food from the mountains?"

Jiang Yan grinned foolishly, "I'm just glad you came back safe and sound, but... it would be even better if you could bring back some wild vegetables..."

He asked cautiously yet expectantly, "How was it? Did you find a small plate of wild vegetables today? If you did, we won't have to eat dry rice later..."

Jiang Li threw the basket at him.

Jiang Yan quickly reached out and caught it.

"What is that? It's so heavy!"

The next second, upon seeing the three plump pheasants squatting in the basket, his eyes widened in surprise!

Not only chickens, but also nearly ten pounds of wild vegetables in the basket!

"So many fresh wild vegetables!"

"These are non-mutated pheasants! Sis, did you find all of these in the mountains?!"

Jiang Li: "Mm."

"Do you know how to stew chicken?"

Jiang Yan answered quickly, "Yes!"

"Really?"

"I hope it won't taste too bad? If it really doesn't work, I'll do it. I don't want to waste my chicken."

Jiang Yan assured him repeatedly, "Sis, I really can! Even if I've never eaten chicken, I've at least seen it run, right?"

"And I especially love looking at pre-apocalyptic cookbooks. Every night when I look at those cookbooks, I think about when I'll make a name for myself and have money. I'll buy tons of ingredients every day, and every meal will have vegetables, fish, and meat! So you can live a good life with me too!"

Unfortunately, before he could make a name for himself, his sister did, and he was able to afford to eat good food and meat.

Chicken sells for 200 points per pound in the safe zone. This chicken must weigh at least three or four pounds, which would be worth seven or eight hundred points.

Such good food is only for the extremely wealthy!

"A chicken that can grow this big without mutating is a good chicken."

Jiang Yanmei happily carried the chicken to the side.

Slaughter the chicken with a knife, cook it in a pot, boil water, and pluck the feathers...

When it was time to eat, every household in the field started cooking.

If you don't have the means, you can eat rice porridge, boil some plain noodles, or simply make do with a naan bread.

If possible, there will be one or two plates of vegetables on the table, along with a vegetable soup or something similar.

Very few people eat meat.

The Su family.

"How come you only brought back so little stuff after going out?"

Su Xiao's mother looked at the few wild vegetables in Su Xiao's basket and became angrier and angrier!

The look in his eyes as he looked at Su Xiao was also tinged with resentment!

She was too busy in the fields, so she entrusted the task of digging wild vegetables to Su Xiao, and Su Xiao proved her worth.

"Are you being lazy? Did you not even bother to find the resources properly?"

Su Xiao lowered her head, not daring to look directly into her mother's resentful eyes.

"It's not just me. None of us found much to eat today. That's just how it is in that area; there aren't many wild vegetables to begin with."

This isn't her fault, and she can't understand why she's being blamed.

Su's mother: "Nonsense!"

"Is there nothing to eat?"

"I heard someone dug up almost forty pounds of wild vegetables!"

Su Xiao's pupils contracted.

"Not only that! Jiang Li also brought back three pheasants that hadn't mutated from the mountains!"

"Those are three pheasants! That's worth two or three thousand points!"

"That girl brought back nearly four or five thousand points worth of items all by herself from the mountains this time! If she can do it, why can't you?"

Su Xiao's face turned pale.

Su's mother continued her nagging, "When others eat meat, why can't you at least have some soup? How can there be such a big difference?"

"Mom, I told you I should have been allowed to go up the mountain!" Su Wenhu, the younger brother, glared resentfully at Su Xiao, thinking about how the food wouldn't be good for the next week. "Useless! You're really useless."

Su Xiao's expression turned even uglier.

She clenched her fists, feeling both angry and resentful!

It's all Jiang Li's fault!

If she hadn't found so many edible resources all at once, making the whole field area know about it, she wouldn't have been scolded for no reason!

The more Su Xiao thought about it, the more she hated Jiang Li, and the more she felt that Jiang Li was a despicable person.

It was just a lucky break; she didn't believe Jiang Li could always be this lucky!

On the other side, the Wang family.

As soon as Wang Guihua placed a large plate of steamed buns on the table, they were snatched up by several hands.

The family, consisting of one daughter and three sons, wolfed down their food as if they had been released from a starving prison.

The two elderly people were so hungry that they were nothing but skin and bones.

A family of eight.

The burden of feeding the couple became a heavy weight on their minds.

"Mom, are there any more steamed buns?"

Jiang Dazhuang rubbed his stomach. "I'm not full."

"It's gone!"

Wang Guihua said irritably, "If we eat all of this today, what are we going to eat tomorrow? Are we not going to live tomorrow?"

Jiang Dazhuang was startled by the shout and lowered his head dejectedly.

But he was so hungry, he really hadn't eaten enough.

Wang Guihua herself only ate half a steamed bun.

When she gave birth to four children, she thought that having more people meant more labor, but who knew that life would turn out like this!

"I really don't know how to get through this."

Her husband, Jiang Bin, glared at her. "What's the rush? We'll get through this."

"Our family has a lot of people. As long as we harvest grain a few times, we can exchange the grain for points and buy another piece of land. Then our grain harvest will be twice that of everyone else! Who can compare to us?"

Jiang Bin's words made sense, and Wang Guihua felt much better after hearing them.

-

Jiang Yan cut the chicken into pieces, washed it, and set it aside. He then set up a pot, chopped firewood, and started a fire, working busily and enthusiastically.

Jiang Li sat on a small stool, a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, watching the misty red sunset on the horizon.

This world is short of food, but God has still left us a way to survive; there are still plenty of edible resources in the mountains.

Now that she has superpowers, given time, she's sure she can live the same life as before the apocalypse, with a villa, a farm, and handsome men...

As Jiang Li thought this, the smile on her face gradually widened.

If I could really have the same villas and farms as before in this apocalypse, that would be wonderful.

In short, no matter what, we have to get our lives back on track first, and farming and growing crops are the top priorities.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li looked at the empty fields and asked:

"How much land did you plow today?"

Jiang Yan paused, and after a long while, awkwardly said, "One...one mu."

"One mu?"

Jiang Yanqian chuckled twice, "Less than one mu."

He pointed to a small patch of land to the west, "That's the land I just turned over."

Jiang Li: "..."

Sure enough, it wasn't even a mu (approximately 0.16 acres).

Jiang Yan scratched the back of his head. "Sis, this is my first time farming. I'm not very good at it."

"I'll definitely translate more tomorrow!"

"However—" He paused, looking troubled.

"There are just too many fields. We can't possibly plant them all, there's no way we can plant them all."

Jiang Li looked at the vast field and fell into deep thought.

indeed.

It's normal for one person to plow one acre of land a day. If Jiang Yan were to do it all by himself, it would take forever to plow fifty acres.
