Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo spent five consecutive nights building the cabin.

The roof of the hut was covered with a layer of bamboo and then a layer of dried reeds.

The double roof not only effectively prevents rain and snow from entering, but also helps maintain the indoor temperature.

The cabin was completed on the night of its completion.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo couldn't wait to move the chicken coop into the small house.

The hut is about one meter below ground level, and the bottom is not covered with wooden planks, but is all bare soil.

Jiang Li set up a ladder at the door.

This was carved from wood by Ye Jingmo. The ladder's planks are very wide, making it easy to enter and exit the small house.

Jiang Li turned on the temperature detector, which showed 28 degrees Celsius.

She plugged in the power, turned on the air conditioner fan, and waited ten minutes before the temperature sensor activated again.

Seeing that the display showed 20 degrees Celsius, Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that even without turning on the air conditioner or fan at night, the temperature inside the small house is enough for the chickens in the coop to live normally.

After setting up the chicken coop, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo climbed the ladder back into the villa.

They've been working overtime these past few nights building the little house; they're almost exhausted.

I've finished tonight, and I can finally get some rest.

After taking a shower, Jiang Li immediately climbed into bed, letting sleepiness engulf her.

morning,

Jiang Li was awakened from her sleep by a fragrance.

Her stomach was protesting violently, and she struggled to open her heavy eyes.

Looking at the empty bed opposite, the bed was neatly arranged.

Jiang Li then understood the source of the fragrance: it was the smell of Ye Jingmo cooking breakfast.

She stretched and then got out of bed to wash up.

Breakfast today was very simple.

Ye Jingmo prepared egg pancakes.

Heat the off-white dough in a pan until it puffs up, then poke a hole in it and quickly pour in the prepared egg mixture.

Ye Jingmo also specially prepared two sausages, which were placed next to him to be fried together.

Once the surface of the pancake turns a light brown, roll the fried sausage and lightly blanched vegetables into the pancake, sprinkle with some salad dressing, and it's done.

Jiang Li's large egg pancake allows her to savor the meaty aroma of sausage and the sweetness of green vegetables.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Li sat on the sofa and drank rose and hibiscus tea.

Qin Yue then dialed the number.

"Sister Jiang Li, I heard that a market has opened at the base."

We're planning to go shopping tonight, do you want to come along?

The official base had been completed several days ago, and those who were able to do so had paid for supplies to enter the base, all in search of a place to stay.

After all, people yearn for a stable life.

Soldiers are stationed at the base, which greatly ensures security.

To ensure the smooth operation of the base, the authorities have also started recruiting many staff members who can receive a fixed number of points every day.

This is like being a civil servant before a catastrophe in an apocalyptic world—a stable job with no fear of losing your job in the short term.

There has been a lot of news about the official base these past few days.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo were both busy building the small house and didn't have time to read these messages.

Hearing that a market had appeared at the base surprised Jiang Li greatly.

"Was the market in the base officially established?"

Upon hearing Jiang Li's question, Qin Yue immediately spoke up.

Yes and no.

This market was originally formed spontaneously by people searching for useful resources.

There are many types of supplies, but their quality cannot be guaranteed, so people need to be able to distinguish them.

Later, after the market was discovered by the authorities, in order to maintain safety and order, they charged a certain stall fee and demarcated the area of ​​the stalls.

I heard that soldiers will be stationed there to prevent serious fights and ensure the safety of people in the market.

Jiang Li became interested; it had been a long time since she had visited a market.

She turned to Ye Jingmo and said:

"Brother Mo, I'd like to go to the market with Qin Yue tonight."

Ye Jingmo glanced up at Jiang Li, but didn't say anything.

Jiang Li then knew that he had agreed.

Since Jiang Li is going out, Ye Jingmo will definitely not leave the house alone.

He will go with Jiang Li.

"We'll set off at six o'clock this afternoon."

Jiang Li and Qin Yue agreed on a time and then hung up the phone.

When Jiang Li thinks of markets, she thinks of the official online store.

It was then that she realized she hadn't visited the official online store in a long time.

I wonder if they've added any new products yet?

With that in mind, Jiang Li opened the official online store.

As you swipe your finger across the screen, most of the items displayed are clothes and daily necessities.

These are not what Jiang Li needs; she has plenty of supplies in her space.

The scrolling speed increased until Jiang Li reached the last page, where she saw the heat protection suit officially listed.

Heat-resistant suits are actually available now?

Jiang Li was both surprised and delighted. She excitedly clicked on the link, wanting to buy two sets immediately.

After that, I will be able to go out during the day.

No matter how many times she pressed the buttons, the purchase page wouldn't pop up.

Jiang Li looked at the instructions under the heat-protective clothing with suspicion.

It turns out that this heat protection suit was only pre-released and had not actually been released.

Due to its scarcity,

The official store will release a certain quantity at a certain time for people to purchase, and the items will be removed from the shelves once they are sold out.

Jiang Li's lips twitched.

This is an apocalyptic disaster, and they're still using purchase restrictions.

Indeed, scarcity makes things valuable.

She just really wanted this heat-resistant suit.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and decided to go out the back door.

Let's learn about heat protection clothing.

She dialed Zhou Tian's number.

Zhou Tian seemed to know why Jiang Li had called, and got straight to the point after answering the phone.

"You're calling about the heat-resistant suit, right?"

That's perfect, I was just about to call you too.

I received information that the authorities will release a batch of heat protection suits at noon tomorrow.

However, as you know, this thing is rare, and even the military doesn't have a large stockpile.

You'd better be prepared that you won't be able to buy it.

Upon receiving news of the heat-resistant suit, Jiang Li was filled with gratitude.

Jiang Li was already very happy to have a definite sales time.

Otherwise, she would have to wait in front of the official online store, just for the heat protection suit that might be released at any time.

"At that point, it will all come down to speed; whether you can snag one or not will depend on luck."

Jiang Li said with a grin.

Despite the apocalyptic natural disasters, there are still many wealthy and influential people.

They must have also obtained information about heat protection clothing from other sources.

Everyone has the information, so it's all about speed.

"Thank you for the news, Captain Zhou. I'll go first..."

Before Jiang Li could hang up, Zhou Tian quickly stopped her.

"and many more……"

"?"

Recalling the logistics minister's tearful pleading with him, Zhou Tian gritted his teeth, swallowed his pride, and said:

"Jiang Li, do you have any extra cabbages you can sell?"

There aren't many cabbages left from the last batch we brought back.

"Could you sell us a little more?"

Zhou Tian's sun-tanned face was slightly flushed. He knew that if anyone had vegetables at this time, they would want to take them all away.

Not a single word will be revealed to outsiders.

However, the vegetable cultivation at the base has never been able to get on track.

The sun was blazing and the temperature was rising. Even though they had built greenhouses for the fields, they still lacked water for irrigation.

The vegetables in the fields were all drooping, looking like seedlings, and there was no way to harvest them.

Jiang Li remained silent for a while. Her family wasn't short of vegetables, but she couldn't agree immediately.

This would make her family seem too wealthy, which would be an eyesore to others.

"Hmm... the bok choy is almost ripe, but..."

As you know, it's really not easy to keep these cabbages alive in extremely hot weather.

Production has definitely decreased compared to before.

Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Zhou Tian knew that the matter was almost certain to succeed.

"It's alright, we'll take as much as you can offer. The purchase points will be higher than before, so you'll never lose out."

"By the way, do you buy chickens?"

Jiang Li thought for a moment, then spoke.

"what?"

Upon hearing the words "collecting chickens," Zhou Tian thought he had misheard and quickly asked back.

"I happened to find a nest of wild eggs, and several pheasants hatched from them."

I'm feeding them too much food, and I really can't afford to keep them anymore. I'm thinking of selling two to the official breeders. Would you like them?

"Male or female?"

Zhou Tian asked cautiously.

"Male."

Jiang Li was reluctant to sell the hen; it was a golden goose that would lay eggs for her.

Zhou Tian was not surprised to receive the reply; if he had a hen, he certainly wouldn't have been willing to sell it either.

Hens can lay eggs, which is a long-term food source.

"Let's harvest them together. I'll come and pick them up whenever the bok choy is ripe."

Jiang Li counted on her fingers.

"It should be ready in about a week."

"Ok."

Zhou Tian got some time, exchanged a few polite words with Jiang Li, and then hung up the call.

Jiang Li hurried up to the third floor; she needed to calculate how many cabbages she could sell to the authorities.

The cabbages in the planting trough grew tall, about the size of a small charcoal canister.

The green leaves, tinged with white, are like green jade.

This production volume is roughly the same as the last one.

Jiang Li only plans to sell sixty jin (30 kg) of it.

She plans to pickle the remaining cabbage into sauerkraut so that she can make sauerkraut and pork stew when the weather gets extremely cold.

I can find two pottery jars at the market this time.

The flowers on the tomato vines had long since faded, revealing a small green fruit about the size of a little finger joint.

Even though the tomatoes weren't ripe yet, Jiang Li could almost picture the palm-sized red fruits hanging from the branches, bending them down.

The thought of a bountiful harvest made Jiang Li chuckle softly.

We can make canned tomatoes then; they should taste sweet and sour.

We also need to make some tomato sauce, all-natural and additive-free, as Jiang Li loves the sweet and sour taste the most.

We can start breeding now, and once this batch of crops is harvested, we can plant them directly.

Jiang Li took out a plate and put in seeds of chili peppers, eggplants, radishes, chives, and other vegetables.

After dividing them into sections, cover them with damp towels and place them in a dark, well-ventilated place.

After she finishes watching Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, she can go downstairs. I wonder what Brother Mo will cook?

Jiang Li walked to the guinea pig cage and squatted down. Little Black wasn't burying its head in the food bowl; instead, it was facing Little White's cage.

It kept making chirping noises and gnawing on the cage, seemingly trying to run into Little White's cage.

Little White stayed hidden in its nest, not revealing a single trace of itself.

Jiang Li didn't notice anything unusual; Xiao Bai didn't like to show itself during the day.

She put on gloves and cleaned the hay and debris from the cage.

Hearing the noise from inside the cage, Xiao Bai anxiously poked its head out and bared its teeth at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li stared blankly for two seconds at Xiao Bai's slender figure.

Isn't that Xiaobai's big belly?

She gave birth?!

Jiang Li became excited instantly; she really wanted to see what Xiao Bai's cub looked like.

However, seeing Xiaobai's wary eyes and posture, Jiang Li gave up on the idea.

The book I read before said that it's best not to touch a guinea pig after it has given birth.

If the pups acquire other scents, the mother mouse will eat them.

Jiang Li didn't completely clear away the hay and debris, leaving some to give Xiaobai a sense of security.

After cleaning the cage, she prepared a postpartum meal for Xiaobai.

At this time, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, otherwise the mother mouse will also eat the pups to supplement her nutrition.

Jiang Li took out a small bowl, added goat milk powder to it, mixed it with warm water, and put it into the cage.

The milky aroma immediately attracted Little White. It ran to the small bowl and stuck out its tongue to lick it.

Jiang Li, with her sharp eyes, spotted the red cub lying on Xiao Bai's body and threw it to the ground.

There's a bit too little maternal love in her.

But I didn't know guinea pig babies were so small, like tiny peanuts.

The bowl was filled with oatmeal, dried fruits and vegetables, and small teething biscuits. The red, yellow, and green colors were evenly mixed, making Jiang Li's mouth water.

Especially the bone-shaped cookies, which have a rich aroma of milk and wheat.

She had a slight urge to bite it.

I wonder if people can eat what guinea pigs eat?

Jiang Li thought about this question carefully.

After feeding Xiaobai, Jiang Li closed the cage and stopped disturbing it.

Upon reaching the first floor, Jiang Li saw Ye Jingmo kneading dough.

Jiang Li ran up behind Ye Jingmo and patted him on the shoulder, causing Ye Jingmo to turn around and look at her with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing, Brother Mo?"

"The apples in the living room have been sitting there for a while, so I thought I'd make an apple pie to avoid wasting food."

Apple pie uses a pastry made of flour, eggs, and butter. The crust is baked until it is golden brown and shiny, and you can hear a crisp sound when you tap it with a spoon.

Jiang Li helped Ye Jingmo with the task, washing the apples, removing the cores, and cutting them into small pieces.

"I have some good news for you, guess what it is?"

Jiang Li chatted with Ye Jingmo while working.

"Let me guess, did Little White have babies?"

Jiang Li stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How did Brother Mo guess that?

Looking into Jiang Li's big eyes, Ye Jingmo gave a faint smile.

"How did you know?"

"Can't I tell just by looking into your eyes?"

When Jiang Li was with Ye Jingmo, she didn't hide her thoughts at all; they were completely revealed in her eyes.

Moreover, the third floor contains planting troughs and guinea pig cages, and Ye Jingmo can deduce the result with a little reasoning.

Jiang Li blushed slightly, deliberately snorted, and turned to leave the restaurant.

Ye Jingmo shook his head helplessly; his embarrassed and angry expression was still quite adorable.

Jiang Li sat down on the sofa, and Jelly and Pudding ran over and surrounded her.

She grabbed the fluffy jelly and pressed her face against it to hide her burning red cheeks.
