Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 940 Selling Vegetables by the Roadside
Transforming ordinary grains and vegetables into plants with superpowers is not something that can be done overnight; it requires continuous experimentation and a long-term struggle.

Before that, Shi Jia decided to solve the problem of food and clothing first!
She divided the land in the greenhouse into sections, sprayed pesticides on them, and let the soil slowly absorb the pesticides. Then she went to the vegetable patch.

Driven by his wood-based superpower, the vegetables in the small garden grew wildly. At the same time, an invisible hand, which was Shi Jia's mental power, picked the mature vegetables. After the vegetables were picked, his superpower was used to make them grow again, and so on. Before long, the vegetables around Shi Jia were piled up into a small mountain.

When Shi Jia saw that the soil in the vegetable garden was turning white and showing signs of becoming sandy, he stopped forcing the vegetables to grow and instead chose two of each type of vegetable to grow for seed.

Afterwards, he pulled up all the vegetable roots and vines, buried them under the soil, and then took a bag of fertilizer from his spatial storage, using his mental power to evenly spread it on the ground. To help the soil absorb the fertilizer more quickly, Shi Jia also used a farm machine to turn the soil over.

Shi Jia washed her hands and stretched, when she heard the sound of swallowing behind her.

No need to guess, it's Wang Junjun.

"Miss Yuan, did you just plant these vegetables?" Wang Junjun stared at the vegetables, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Shi Jia took out a bag and casually put in a pumpkin, two loofahs, and a bunch of pumpkin vines. "Here, your wages for today."

Upon hearing this, Wang Junjun stared at Shi Jia in disbelief. "Salary? For me?"

Shi Jia nodded and put the bag aside. She took out several large baskets and began sorting and packing the vegetables. "Come and get to work."

"Ah? Okay, okay." Wang Junjun reluctantly looked away from the bag of vegetables on the ground, thinking to himself, "I must have misheard. How could Miss Yuan possibly give him vegetables?"
Vegetables are so expensive!

He had only heard that the upper echelons of the base occasionally got to eat vegetables, and that they usually ate nutritional blocks to supplement their vitamins, just like the rest of the group.

While Wang Junjun's mind raced with creative ideas, his hands moved swiftly, and in no time he had sorted all the vegetables and loaded them into the bed of Shi Jia's black pickup truck.

Shi Jia nodded and pointed to the bag on the ground. "Don't forget to collect your wages. If you have no objections, come back tomorrow, but I'll deduct the wages from your wages with vegetables."

Wang Junjun had already realized what was going on; how could he refuse such good terms?

"Okay, you can go home now. I'll lock the door."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, boss!" Wang Junjun happily grabbed a bag of vegetables and hurried away, asking the boss to give him a ride back to the base.
No, he's not that shameless.

Once Wang Junjun had walked away, Shi Jia waved his hand, and the truck bed was immediately filled to the brim.

There are many ways for Shi Jia to make money, but since she has decided to revive agriculture in this world, she has decided to make selling vegetables her main source of income.

Shi Jia brazenly pulled a truckload of vegetables into the base, unsurprisingly causing a sensation. How long had it been since they had seen so many vegetables?

Even the growers who leave the cultivation base don't see this many vegetables!
As you can imagine, Shi Jia was surrounded by a crowd and unable to move before she could even get the vegetables to the superhuman trading center. Left with no other option, she had to sell the vegetables on the spot.

"Please don't crowd. There's not much food; each person is limited to two jin (1 kg)." Shi Jia glanced at the crowd and immediately counted 53 people! Moreover, there were still quite a few people approaching in this direction from a distance.

She had about 500 pounds of vegetables on her truck, and even if she could smuggle some out, it wouldn't last long.

"What? Only two pounds? That's not enough!"

"Yes, Miss Yuan, please give us at least five jin each. I have five people in my family!"

“My family has ten people, five jin is not enough, at least ten jin, no, twenty jin.”

Everyone chattered amongst themselves, their mouths watering as they stared at the food on the truck, haggling with Shi Jia over the price, but none of them dared to touch it.

They had witnessed Miss Yuan tie up a seven-foot-tall man like a dumpling yesterday. They dared not anger her; what if Miss Yuan refused to buy groceries?
Heaven knows how envious they are of Xu Dayong and his ilk! According to someone who was lucky enough to eat the vegetables yesterday, the taste was so good that they wouldn't trade it for a sixth-order energy crystal core.

Gollum~
Everyone swallowed hard, staring longingly at Shi Jia.

"Alright, five catties per person, 50 contribution points per serving. Those who want to sell vegetables, line up." Shi Jia suddenly realized that if she bought them two catties at a time, it would take her forever. But if she sold too much to each person, she wouldn't be able to sell to too many people, so she compromised.

After she finished speaking, she ignored everyone's bargaining, took out an electronic scale, and began to weigh the vegetables.

This electronic scale was collected by Yuanmu Xia. She saw it when she was tidying up her space, tried it out, and found that it didn't work, so she fixed it herself.

Similarly, Shijia didn't give people a chance to choose; they could just mix and match melons and leafy greens to make up five jin (2.5 kg).

Of course, the people buying vegetables wouldn't dare to be picky, nor would they. After all, they hadn't eaten any vegetables in a long time, so as long as they had something to eat, they were happy. As for whether 50 yuan a serving is expensive? Not at all. Their daily nutritional supplements cost ten contribution points each, and they don't even taste good!
Buying five kilograms of vegetables for 50 yuan these days is practically like hitting the jackpot!

And so, Shi Jia started selling vegetables on the roadside with great enthusiasm.

Of course, such behavior that causes traffic congestion is not allowed, whether before or after the apocalypse. So, in less than 20 minutes, the patrol team from Yanzhong Base arrived.

"What's going on? Scatter!"

Hearing the patrol team's voice, the crowd turned around and tried to run away, but they couldn't leave before they bought their vegetables. So, to the patrol team's astonishment, the chaotic crowd formed a long line in less than five minutes.

Alright, the traffic congestion problem is solved, but of course, Shi Jia and her truckload of vegetables are now in the patrol team's sight.

"Fresh vegetables?"

"What's going on? Where did you get these vegetables?"

"Did they steal vegetables from the cultivation base?"

"Contact the breeding base immediately!"

"Contact the city guards for reinforcements..."

Before Shi Jia could explain, the patrol team members had already arranged Shi Jia and her food in a flurry of chatter.

"No, officers, haven't you heard about Miss Yuan building a glass greenhouse outside the city?" the person queuing to buy vegetables hurriedly explained.

Also, are the patrol team members really that uninformed? They don't even know things that ordinary people like them know?

You still want to capture Miss Yuan? No way!
Most importantly!! They haven't bought any vegetables yet!!!

"Yes, these vegetables were all cultivated by Miss Yuan herself!"

"Although Miss Yuan has only recently awakened her wood-type ability, her ability is extremely powerful!"

"Yes, yes!"

……

Alright, without Shi Jia having to say anything, everyone had already explained it to her.

The patrol members were shocked to learn that she was the former base chief's daughter! She had actually awakened wood-type abilities! This…

They immediately contacted the base office and received a reply quickly.

The patrolmen breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, they hadn't acted impulsively.

"Haha, Miss Yuan, I'm sorry! We didn't know you..."

"It's alright, no need to apologize." Shi Jia didn't mind and continued selling vegetables.

"Um, Miss Yuan, could we buy some groceries?" Ye Feng, the patrol team leader, asked apologetically.

Shi Jia looked up and scanned the line; there were 93 people.

"Okay, let's get in line."

"Okay, thank you." Ye Feng quickly sent two people to queue up. "Um, Miss Yuan, we still have patrol duties. Could these two people queue up for us?"

"Okay." Consider it an apology for causing traffic congestion.

"Thank you, thank you." Ye Feng and the other patrol team members were overjoyed.

Shi Jia hummed in agreement, her hands continuing their work.

"My God, it's a black pickup truck!" Suddenly, an excited voice came from afar.
