Chapter 966 The Treatment at Woye Farm

When Shi Jia arrived at Woye Farm the next day, he saw a thin figure standing in front of the greenhouse door.

"Who are you?" Shi Jia felt that the child looked familiar, but where had she seen him before?
“Master Yuan, I am Wang Baobao.” Wang Baobao’s eyes lit up when he saw the person who came. He said happily, “I was sent by the base leader. He said you need a wood-type ability user as an experimental assistant.”

So that's how it is! Uncle Han is really efficient! He said the next day and it was the next day, without any delay.

Hmm, Wang Baobao? Isn't this the little girl I saw at the breeding base? Why is she so thin?
Shi Jia frowned and nodded. "Okay, then come with me. Have you had breakfast?"

Seeing the other party frown, Wang Baobao was a little scared. Was Master Yuan not satisfied? She was only at the first level, and her ability to stimulate growth was very poor.

However, the cultivation base will not allow other growers to come.

Then she heard the other person ask if she had eaten, and she quickly nodded. She had eaten half a bowl of nutritional porridge, which would sustain her for half a day.

Shi Jia didn't care whether she had eaten or not. "Let's go to the restaurant across the street and eat something else. I see you're too thin, so your abilities must be insufficient. Eat more and get your body in good shape so you can improve your abilities faster."

Wang Baobao breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't hear any words of complaint. When she heard that there was breakfast to eat, she originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard that it would enhance her superpowers, she immediately shut up.

Yes, she needs to advance quickly so she can better assist Master Yuan.

"Okay, Master Yuan, I will definitely work hard to improve my abilities!" Wang Baobao promised.

"From now on, just call me Boss Yuan. Everyone else should call me that too," Shi Jia said, pointing to the rows of vegetables inside the greenhouse.

"The largest part of this plot is the vegetable garden. Currently, the employees' wages, the vegetables needed for daily production, and the vegetables supplied to Fuyuan Supermarket are all grown on this plot."

"Speaking of wages, has Commander Han told you about the wage situation here?"

Wang Baobao shook his head.

"Oh, let me tell you now. You are a wood-type ability user, and your position is assistant researcher. Your daily wage is 200 contribution points, which can also be offset by vegetables. Currently, the other four employees on our farm receive vegetables instead of contribution points. In addition, you have four days off per month."

The salary Shi Jia offered was very low for a researcher and a wood-type ability user.

But let's leave it at that. In the early stages of a startup, there has to be room for improving compensation, right?

Most importantly, it includes three meals a day. In the apocalypse, being able to eat your fill is already a blessing, isn't it?
When resources are scarce, even if you have contribution points, there's nowhere to buy food!
Wang Baobao nodded vigorously, "Thank you! Boss, I'd like to use vegetables to offset the price too."

She was satisfied with the treatment, which was similar to what the cultivation base gave her. However, the cultivation base couldn't use vegetables to offset the cost. She could only buy a nutrient block that cost 10 contribution points each by taking 250 contribution points back every day!
“Okay.” Shi Jia didn’t mind and continued to introduce the other areas.

Half an hour later, a rich aroma wafted over.

"Gulu~~"

Wang Baobao quickly covered her stomach and awkwardly looked around.

Shi Jia smiled and said, "Let's go have breakfast. Judging from the aroma, Aunt Luo must have made pumpkin porridge and fried some pumpkin pancakes!"

"It's been a long time since I've had pumpkin pancakes. I wonder how good Aunt Luo's pumpkin pancakes are?"

"Wow~ It smells so good! Auntie, these pumpkin pancakes are so authentic!" Li Changjun's voice came from behind. "I never thought I could eat such delicious pumpkin pancakes after the apocalypse. I have no regrets in this life!"

"Why did you tell me everything?" Wang Junjun exclaimed. "Aunt Luo, are you making a lot of pumpkin pancakes?"

"It's alright, eat as much as you want. There's still a lump of dough in the bowl. If it's not enough, I'll fry some more later," Luo Yuxiang chuckled. Seeing Shi Jia, she quickly greeted him, "Boss, come and have breakfast! I made pumpkin porridge and pumpkin pancakes. I wonder if you like them?"

Shi Jia took the bowl that Luo Yuxiang handed her, said thank you, and pointed to Wang Baobao, "This is Wang Baobao, a wood-type ability user. From now on, he will be our colleague."

Several employees greeted Wang Baobao warmly.

"Aunt Luo, make her some more pumpkin porridge." Shi Jia said and started eating. "Okay!"

Wang Baobao smelled the aroma in the air and looked at the golden pumpkin porridge in front of her. She felt dizzy. Was this something she could eat?

"Little Wang, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?" Wang Junjun saw her standing there blankly with the plate in her hand and quickly called out to her.

Wang Baobao snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head, "No, I like it, I like it."

"That's good. Eat quickly, you still have work to do later," Wang Junjun reminded him.

"Mmm." Wang Baobao didn't dare to delay.

Wang Junjun ate three bowls of porridge and ten pumpkin cakes, feeling quite full. But looking at the large bowl of pumpkin cakes, he was reluctant to part with them.

He thought for a moment and walked over to Shi Jia. "Boss, I wanted to ask, can I take pumpkin cakes home tonight? As payment for my wages?"

Shi Jia looked up and saw that Li Changjun and the others had all perked up their ears. He nodded and said, "Okay, three pumpkin cakes will be equivalent to one pound of vegetables."

"It's not that I'm greedy, you all know that sugar is very expensive." It really is expensive; 100 contribution points can only buy 50 grams, and the worst part is that it's very hard to buy.

Of course, all her sugar is made from sugarcane produced in the planting space.

"Yes, thank you, boss." Wang Junjun and the others were too grateful to think of anything else.
"Aunt Luo, could you please tally up how many pumpkin pancakes we need to make later?" Shi Jia said to Aunt Luo. "Also, you can take five pumpkin pancakes as payment, which won't be included in today's wages."

Aunt Luo quickly shook her head, "Boss, no need. Working in the kitchen is my job, there's no need to pay me extra. The salary you're paying is already very high."

She not only provides three meals a day, but also lets her take any leftovers home in the evening. Although there aren't many leftovers each day, it's enough to supplement her grandson's nutrition.

“Okay.” Shi Jia didn’t care about these small things. “After the wheat harvest, set aside two acres to grow sugarcane, and then you can make your own pumpkin pancakes.”

The farm now has 110 acres of land, of which 100 acres are planted with wheat, 8 acres with lettuce, and the other 2 acres are greenhouses used for experiments.

She can barely manage it all by herself.

Once Wang Baobao's superpower advances to the second tier, she can cultivate another ten acres of land and manage it. In any case, according to her planting method, superpower is only an aid; the most important things are fertilizer and scientific management methods.

The day passed quickly, and Wang Baobao witnessed firsthand the busyness of the farm and the tediousness of various experiments. Well, with her not-so-bright brain, she really didn't know how else to describe it except for the word "tedious".

Anyway, she still hadn't figured out what the experiment was by the time she got off work.

However, what made her happiest was that she was so full! That feeling of fullness and satisfaction from the inside out was something she had never experienced since birth.

After get off work, the boss took her to see the base leader, who found a helmet for her to wear, and then she felt her head throbbing.

Her groggy mind suddenly cleared, and she noticed that her boss's aura had become even more terrifying, but she knew clearly that her boss was harmless to her.

"Alright, you're home now. Remember to get a good rest tonight. Don't rush to the base tomorrow. Wait until your mental strength has stabilized before coming."

"Huh? Okay." Wang Baobao, still a little dazed, got off the bus carrying a large bag of vegetables, waved goodbye to the shop owner, and then carried the bag home.

"Baobao, you're back? Was that your boss just now?" Baobao's mom asked.

"Okay, Mom, I'm going to sleep now." Wang Baobao put the bag on the ground and walked towards the only bed in the room.

"Wait, we haven't had dinner yet."

"I've eaten." Wang Baobao waved his hand and was already lying in bed.

"Eat? What's this? Huh?! So many dishes!! Where did they come from?"
