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

After putting it on, Ye Jingmo casually pulled up the hood and zipped it up, making him look aloof and mysterious.

Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction.

She then made Ye Jingmo put on an orange cotton coat. Jiang Li thought that the color was too bright and that it would look out of place on Ye Jingmo.

But when Ye Jingmo put it on, Jiang Li's eyes lit up.

The warm colors accentuated Ye Jingmo's youthful and handsome appearance, giving him a vibrant and youthful look reminiscent of a college student.

This attempt immediately attracted the attention of other people in the market.

Seeing how well Ye Jingmo's outfit looked, Jiang Li prepared to give the female stall owner points.

Why don't you try your clothes on?

Seeing that Jiang Li hadn't tried on the clothes, Ye Jingmo interrupted her.

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then helplessly picked up the two pieces of clothing in her hand and tried them on.

She chose a white down jacket and a pink cotton coat.

The white down jacket features an embroidered white crane spreading its wings on the pocket, giving it an elegant and unique look.

However, this down jacket was somewhat dirty, which may be why others did not choose it.

Jiang Li first put on a white down jacket, which had a slightly fitted waist.

The person wearing the down jacket doesn't appear bulky; instead, they look rather slender and slim.

"very nice."

Qin Yue agreed with Ye Jingmo's words, nodding frantically beside him.

Jiang Li's face flushed slightly, a little embarrassed.

She put on a pink cotton coat, which can sometimes look a bit tacky on people who aren't very slim.

But this was not reflected at all in Jiang Li.

Instead, she seemed like a charming little princess.

"These two pieces really suit Sister Jiang Li."

Qin Yue felt that she definitely couldn't achieve the same effect as Jiang Li in wearing the same outfit.

Ye Jingmo readily paid the points for the clothes.

Have you made your choices?

Jiang Li turned to ask Qin Yue and Qin Yu.

"All right."

Qin Yue handed the clothes she had chosen to the female stall owner, who then counted the number of items.

"The total is 9.8 points."

The female stall owner gave Qin Yue a number.

They selected a total of six winter outfits and ten summer outfits.

Did Qin Yu pay right away?

The problem is that while I bought these clothes in a big way, it's difficult to fit them into my backpack.

Winter clothes are thick and heavy, and it took Qin Yue and Qin Yu a lot of effort to stuff them into their backpacks.

The backpack became bulging, and when worn on the back, it looked like a tortoise shell.

The four continued walking forward.

Seeing Jiang Li and his companions spending so lavishly, the vendor selling jewelry nearby immediately called out to them:

"Miss, would you like to take a look at some bags or accessories?"

These are all big brands, which used to cost tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, but now you can bring them home with just one point. It's such a good deal!

Jiang Li glanced at the bags and accessories on his stall; they were indeed from well-known brands.

However, she wasn't particularly interested in luxury goods.

The most expensive bag she used to carry was only a few hundred yuan.

Qin Yue was also somewhat speechless, muttering under her breath:

"This bag can't be eaten or worn, and it costs 1 point each, which is enough to buy two pieces of clothing."

Who would be so stupid as to buy this?

Qin Yue saw a large crowd surrounding a stall, making it impossible to move.

He immediately became interested and pointed in that direction.

"It's so lively over there, Sister Jiang Li, let's go take a look."

Qin Yue linked arms with Jiang Li, and the two squeezed into the stall.

There were two bamboo baskets in front of the stall, filled with small, dark red fruits, and a sweet aroma wafted from them.

"The wild fruits in the mountains are sweet and sour, and can be eaten as dessert or made into jam. Once you've tasted them, you'll never forget the flavor."

The male stall owner shouted loudly.

After the natural disaster, the fruit rotted due to the inconvenience of storage.

People haven't eaten fruit in a long time.

A child in the crowd tugged at his mother's hand, crying and saying, "Mommy, I want to eat fruit, please buy me some, okay?"

Someone asked the male stall owner, "How many points did you sell it for?"

"20 points per pound".

Upon hearing the price, people gasped in shock.

The workers who build houses now only earn three points a day. These 20 points are almost half a month's wages, and that's without eating or drinking.

Fruit is meant to be enjoyed for its flavor; it can't fill your stomach.

This price is enough to buy some steamed buns or other food at the cafeteria.

Those who thought the price was too high immediately dispersed.

However, some people tried to bargain with the male stall owner.

"This is too expensive, how can anyone afford it?"

Ten points per pound, that's about right. If you agree, I'll buy a pound.

The male stall owner waved his hands frantically after hearing this.

"I risked my life to pick these fruits."

I almost died in the mountains and never came back.

The areas where these fruit trees grow have been taken over by wolves.

After that, there was nothing left to eat even if I wanted to.

Upon hearing the news of a wolf pack appearing on the mountain, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo exchanged glances.

After seeing this, I need to be more careful going up the mountain.

Wolves are far more dangerous than other animals; they live in groups with a strict hierarchy.

As long as the wolf king is present, they are almost always brave and fearless, a force that even tigers must give way to.

However, some people still wanted to negotiate a lower price so they could bring some home for their children to try.

Many people shared this view, and their conversations made the scene quite lively.

Jiang Li felt like her ears were about to explode, with a constant chattering sound all around her.

Jiang Li had plenty of fruit in her space, so she had no desire to buy this wild fruit that she had never seen before.

She wasn't sure if the fruit was safe to eat, and it would be terrible if she accidentally ate it and got poisoned.

Qin Yue was tempted when she saw the wild fruit, thinking that if the price was right, she could buy a pound and try it.

However, when she heard the price, she felt it was outrageous and she was reluctant to use her points to buy it.

Qin Yue and Jiang Li squeezed through the crowded people and turned to look at other stalls.

Jiang Li spotted a stall displaying pottery jars of various shapes.

She walked over, picked up a pottery jar, and examined it carefully.

The earthenware jar is entirely brownish-brown, with a smooth and delicate outer shell that feels cool to the touch.

How much are these pottery jars?

Does the pottery jar have any cracks or breaks?

Jiang Li asked the stall owner sitting at the stall.

The stall owner was an old man with a hunched back and a face full of wrinkles; his hands were covered in calluses.

When he saw Jiang Li asking about the price, his cloudy eyes were filled with joy.

"Different sizes of pottery jars yield different points."

The earthenware pot you have is worth 0.6 points and it won't leak. If it does, just ask me to exchange it for a new one.

"I made all these pottery jars at my stall."

Jiang Li took a liking to two pottery jars that were 50 centimeters tall, but these jars were so big and heavy, how was she going to take them back?

A look of difficulty appeared on her face.

Ye Jingmo: "What's wrong? Didn't you want to buy a ceramic jar?"

"But it's too big, it's not easy to take it back."

Jiang Li said helplessly.

They hadn't finished exploring the market yet, so it was impossible for them to be carrying such a large pottery jar around.

If she waited until she finished shopping to come back and buy the items, she felt that her hands would be full of things by then, which wouldn't be very convenient.

The stall owner, not wanting the sale to fall through, immediately said anxiously:

"Where do you live? Inside the base, my pottery jars can also be delivered to your door."

The stall owners didn't want to miss the chance to earn some points to supplement their household income.

"Can you deliver it to the base entrance?"

It will be more convenient for us to call a car to go back then.

Jiang Li thought that if they could be delivered to the entrance of the base, she wouldn't have to carry these two pottery jars around with her all the time.

"Sure, sure. When would you like it delivered?"

The stall owner nodded, afraid that if he was too slow to agree, Jiang Li would be unwilling to buy.

"I want these two earthenware jars with lids. I'll pick them up when I walk back later."

We'll notify you when it's time to deliver it to the base gate.

Jiang Li paid 0.2 points as a deposit, and will pay another 1 point when the pottery jar is delivered to the base entrance.

Qin Yue and Qin Yu stood quietly to one side, waiting for Jiang Li to finish buying the pottery jars.

They didn't ask Jiang Li what she wanted to do with the pottery jars, and continued walking.

There were many stalls selling various items, but relatively few selling food.

There was a stall selling different types of books. Jiang Li browsed through it and even saw someone buy a few textbooks, probably to teach their children.

Children living in this era are pitiful.

They were forced to grow up amidst natural disasters without having enjoyed a few years of peaceful and happy life.

"Sister Jiang Li, there's a spice stall over there."

Qin Yue saw a stall displaying seasonings, where three people were selecting them.

Qin Yue and Qin Yu came to the market specifically because they were running out of seasonings at home.

The official online store mainly sells table salt; other seasonings are not available.

Since the ingredients available now are quite limited, we rely on seasonings to create different flavors.

Otherwise, if it tastes the same every day, your taste buds will get tired of it.

This stall has a full range of seasonings: black pepper powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken bouillon...

Guang Jiangli saw more than a dozen kinds at the stall.

Huh?

what is this?

Jiang Li saw at the very front of the stall a red sauce in glass jars, which shone like dazzling rubies under the lights.

"what is this?"

Jiang Li asked curiously. She leaned closer to look at the jar and saw floating flower petals inside. She could smell a floral and sweet fragrance.

It smells nice.

"It should be rose candy, right?"

Qin Yue glanced at it and said somewhat uncertainly.

"This beautiful lady is right, it is rose candy."

I picked it from a rose bush I grew at home and preserved it with a mixture of rock sugar and white sugar.

However, the sun was too strong, and the rose bush died. Only these three bottles are left; once they're gone, they're gone.

The stall owner answered Jiang Li's questions and even took a payment during a pause.

"Rose petals are the most suitable food for women, as they can soothe the liver and relieve depression."

Rose petals can be used to make herbal tea or desserts.

The stall owner then proceeded to promote her products.

"And the price isn't expensive, it's only 2 points per can."

The sugar inside is very expensive; it would cost the same if you bought it separately.

When Jiang Li heard about rose-flavored candied fruit, she thought of rose-flavored yam cake.

This was a signature dish she had eaten at a restaurant before.

The delicate yam is mixed with rose petals, giving the pastry a light pink crust and a subtle rose scent.

The filling can be made by mixing red bean paste with rose sugar. You don't need to add too much sugar. The rose flavor is so rich that it feels like you're eating a rose with every bite.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and realized that since there was sugar in it, the price wasn't particularly expensive.

"Then I'll take one can."

Jiang Li bought a jar of preserved roses and gave the stall owner 2 points.

Qin Yue and Qin Yu bought more and more miscellaneous items, including sugar, soy sauce, barbecue seasoning, etc., spending a total of 10 points.

Although I bought a lot, I didn't actually carry many of them in my hands.

Points are indeed easy to spend, but hard to earn.

Qin Yue sighed. Would she and her brother just sit around and live off their wealth?

She felt a sense of anxiety and knew she needed to work harder to earn points.

Why don't we go out and dig through the rubble? Most of the vendors at the market have gotten their items from the ruins.

Qin Yue carefully considered the feasibility of the plan and prepared to discuss it with Qin Yu later.

"Selling canned goods, canned fish, canned meat..."

The loud shouts attracted the attention of the crowd in the market.

Many people walked towards the hawking stalls.

"Canned food is easy to store and can last a long time."

I just don't know what the price is like.

Qin Yu was somewhat tempted. In the hot weather, the biggest problem with food is preservation.

Vacuum-sealed canned goods don't have this problem; as long as they're unopened, they can last for up to ten years.

"While supplies last, while supplies last. Don't miss out!"

The crowd surged forward, their eyes fixed on the canned goods on the stall.

To their surprise, the store not only had canned fish and luncheon meat, but also canned yellow peaches.

The stall was looked after by three people: a thin young man who was in charge of calling out to customers, and two strong men with muscles so thick they looked like they could burst out of their clothes, who were in charge of watching over the canned goods.

I was afraid that I might accidentally lose a can of food.

These are their lifeline.

A middle-aged woman, carrying a designer handbag and dressed in opulent attire, asked:

How much are your canned goods?

"50 points for a can of food."

The price caused an uproar in the room.

Upon hearing the price, Jiang Li calculated that if she were to sell the canned goods in her spatial storage, she would become a millionaire.

Qin Yu's initial desire to buy was immediately extinguished, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

They only have a few hundred points, not even enough to buy ten cans of food.

He had expected canned food to be expensive, but he hadn't anticipated it being this pricey.

Ugh!

I can't afford it, I can't afford it.

However, some people didn't even blink when they heard the price.

"Give me luncheon meat and a can of yellow peaches."

The middle-aged woman acted as if she had bought something worth two or three points, without even raising an eyebrow.

The crowd was filled with envious and jealous glances.

People were whispering about the woman's identity, while those who knew explained it to her.

"She is the wife of the Huang family, the Huang family that was famous for making jewelry before."

I heard their family has enough supplies to last for eight hundred years.

Upon hearing about the middle-aged woman's background, some people said sourly:

"As expected, there are always rich and poor people, no matter when."

We poor people can only earn 90 points a month even if we work ourselves to the bone, which probably isn't even enough for someone else to buy something casually.

"God is so unfair."

"Who says it's not?"
