Ye Jingmo washed two peaches from the kitchen, cut them into bite-sized pieces, and brought them to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li's eyes were fixed on the screen, her hands were waving around, and she naturally opened her mouth, waiting for Ye Jingmo to feed her.

Ye Jingmo used a toothpick to pick up a small piece of peach flesh and put it into her mouth.

"Mmm...so sweet."

Jiang Li, with a piece of peach in her mouth, mumbled the words.

The two enjoyed their leisurely time.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Tian came knocking on the door at this time.

He was accompanied by two people in three-wheeled vehicles, which were also loaded with various tools.

These people were all wearing heat-resistant suits, and they unloaded their tools as soon as they got off the vehicle.

Jiang Li looked at the group of people in front of her, somewhat bewildered.

Zhou Tian got out of the car, took a bag, and naturally handed it to Jiang Li. She opened it and saw that it was full of insecticide powder.

"I was afraid you weren't prepared enough, so I brought you some."

This is Mr. Li, who is in charge of digging wells. The well-digging work at the base has been suspended for some reason.

I'll bring him over here first.

The dark-skinned, thin old man stepped forward and greeted Jiang Li with a very amiable attitude.

Jiang Li thought digging a well would be hard labor, and that the master craftsman would be like the tall, strong men he brought with him, but he was surprised to find that it was the opposite.

She opened the door and welcomed everyone into the front yard.

When everyone saw the lush vegetable garden in the front yard, they all stopped in their tracks.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief, and some even couldn't help but walk to the edge of the vegetable patch and gently touch the leaves.

He muttered to himself, "It really is a plant, it really is a plant..."

Mr. Li, who comes from the countryside, is very certain that the plants growing in his front yard are corn and soybeans.

He just hadn't expected that Jiang Li could cultivate this land so well in such a hot environment.

I heard that even the official authorities haven't been able to grow anything yet, and they're still in the exploratory stage.

No wonder this family was willing to spend 20,000 points to hire them to dig a well.

Mr. Li, being older, possessed a more composed demeanor and quickly regained his composure.

He coughed twice, pretending to be a little ignorant, to remind the people behind him not to act so narrow-minded.

Do you have a location where you'd like to dig a well?

Master Li asked Jiang Li for her thoughts.

Jiang Li didn't know much about well site selection, so she wanted to hear the opinions of professionals.

"Could you show us where would be a suitable location?"

In this respect, you are the expert.

Master Li nodded, holding a compass in his hand, just like a feng shui master in a TV drama, and carefully walked around the front yard.

Finally, he squatted down in the corner on the left side of the front yard.

Seeing his condition, his helper immediately handed him a small shovel.

Mr. Li scooped a shovelful of soil into the ground, then rubbed it with his hand to feel the texture of the soil.

A satisfied smile spread across his face, and his eyebrows relaxed into straight lines.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Li knew that the well-digging project was almost a done deal.

"The soil here is soft and somewhat damp under these weather conditions. It's especially suitable for digging wells."

Jiang Li nodded with relief, a bright smile spreading across her face.

As long as the well can be successfully dug, the family will not lack water, and then there will be no restrictions on how she grows crops.

Jiang Li couldn't contain her joy at the thought of a future sea of ​​green.

"Then let's talk about salary. Captain Zhou should have mentioned this issue to you when he invited us here."

As Mr. Li spoke, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he scratched his sparsely shaved head.

"It was originally required to reach 20,000 points..."

I see you have some crops at home. Could you exchange some corn or other vegetables for the reward?

If that's not enough, I can use points to redeem it.

In today's world, natural vegetables are in short supply.

There are people in the market willing to pay high prices to buy them, but no one seems willing to sell them.

All that's available for purchase are dehydrated vegetables, but these vegetables have a papery texture and no flavor whatsoever, which many people find repulsive.

However, even dehydrated vegetables are in short supply and need to be purchased early.

The amount of vegetables collected by the authorities was not even enough for internal distribution and did not enter the market at all.

The helpers looked at Jiang Li with expectant eyes.

Actually, if Jiang Li didn't agree to this, they also planned to exchange some points privately.

The opportunity to buy this vegetable is so rare that they don't want to miss it at all.

Hearing what Master Li said, Jiang Li was taken aback. "The corn isn't ripe yet, so it might not meet your requirements."

"It's okay, we can wait."

We buy at market price, and you can exchange 100 points for one jin (500g).

"What do you think about Captain Zhou acting as our mediator?"

Zhou Tian hadn't expected that he would bring someone else to compete with him for the goods.

He felt a little annoyed. He should have made the arrangements in advance to avoid having his eyes on the crops in Jiangliyuan.

However, the decision-making power is now in Jiang Li's hands, and he has no way to interfere.

Zhou Tian hoped that Jiang Li would leave him some and not sell it all.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, "I can give you a maximum of ten catties of corn and soybeans, and I will keep the rest for myself."

I'll make up the missing points for you directly.

Although Mr. Li was a little disappointed that he could only buy ten kilograms of corn and soybeans, he was still quite happy with what he had.

We must not be so greedy.

"Then I'll leave this place to Master Li. I still need to go back to the base to take care of some work."

As the manager of a small team, Zhou Tian cannot always be out on the field.

He left two armed soldiers on site to supervise the operation, in order to prevent anyone from having malicious intentions and trying to harm Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo.

Ye Jingmo saw the person out of the front yard.

After agreeing on the price, Mr. Li and his helpers immediately began the process of digging the well.

Jiang Li watched as they took out a large shovel and some tools she didn't recognize.

It quickly begins digging at the selected location.

Master Li directed their movements from the side to prevent any mistakes.

Otherwise, rework would require a lot of effort.

It's not worth it at all.

When Jiang Li saw Ye Jingmo return after dropping Zhou Tian off, she asked him to stay there as a surveillance camera while she went back inside.

Thinking of the soldiers standing outside and the workers digging wells.

Jiang Li took out three large tomatoes from her spatial storage and cut them into small pieces.

This large tomato was a variety that Jiang Li bought before the apocalypse. Its skin is very thin, and it will ooze bright red juice when touched.

It has a sweet and sour taste that whets the appetite, making you want to eat one after another.

She sprinkled some white sugar on the chopped tomatoes, stirred them slightly, and then stuck toothpicks into them.

This is her favorite way to eat tomatoes; she can eat a whole plate by herself.
