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

Ye Jingmo parked the snowmobile on a small road 200 meters in front of the market, and the four of them got out and walked into the market.

The market looked desolate compared to when Jiang Li and her group had visited.

There were only a handful of people on the street, and far fewer vendors than before.

"It seems that with the arrival of extreme cold, many people are having a hard time."

Qin Yue lowered her eyes and felt a surge of frustration upon seeing this scene.

She suddenly understood the sadness that welled up in the hearts of the ancients when faced with tragic scenes.

"No matter what the environment is like, life still goes on."

Aren't these people all trying their best to make a living?

Jiang Li offered Qin Yue a few words of comfort. She understood Qin Yue's worries and distress, but given the state of the world, saying these things would only add to her distress.

At this moment, Ye Jingmo walked up to a stall displaying glass.

The stall owner was a burly man who was 1.8 meters tall and wearing a black coat. When he saw Jiang Li and her three companions arrive, he quickly stood up from his small stool and walked over with a smile.

"Is the window in your house broken? The glass in these windows is of very high quality, and they come in all kinds of models."

If not, I can also customize it. My family used to own a glass factory, and I know the glassmaking process.

"How many points?"

Ye Jingmo tapped on the glass to check its hardness. The window glass on the stall was quite good, only slightly inferior to the glass they had bought before the apocalypse.

"A typical window is one tenth of a unit."

He held up one finger to indicate the price of the glass.

This price is quite reasonable.

"We need three glass windows."

Jiang Li spoke to the stall owner, asking him to replace two of the broken windows and keep the remaining one as a spare.

"We need two windows."

Seeing that Jiang Li and the others had reached an agreement, Qin Yu continued.

"Okay, okay, tell me the dimensions of the window."

The stall owner sold five panes of glass in one go, and couldn't stop smiling.

This is a big deal. If you save a little money with fifty points, it'll be enough for a family to survive for a month.

Later, I can go to the base canteen to buy an egg to supplement my daughter's nutrition.

Thinking of his six-year-old daughter's withered hair and face, the man felt a pang of sorrow.

Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu handed the stall owner a piece of paper with the window dimensions written on it.

"I need to slightly modify the window dimensions. You can come and pick it up in twenty minutes."

Jiang Li and the other three continued walking into the market, intending to come out and retrieve the window after they had bought everything they needed.

Jiang Li, with her sharp eyes, spotted two bags of cement on a stall and immediately turned to look at Ye Jingmo.

"Brother Mo, there's a cement shop over there, let's go check it out."

Before Ye Jingmo could react, Jiang Li immediately pulled him by the hand and led him to the stall.

The cement stall owner was a thin woman, wearing only a tattered down jacket and holding a boy of about ten years old in her arms, the two of them leaning against each other for warmth.

Jiang Li poked the bag of cement with her finger, and small holes immediately appeared on it.

When the female stall owner saw Jiang Li and the other three surrounding her stall, she put on a restrained yet ingratiating smile.

"Do you four want cement? This was dug out of the rubble by my husband; it's still unopened."

One bag costs only five points.

The female stall owner hesitated before speaking, afraid that she would lose this hard-won business.

The stall hasn't been open for business for a long time.

The weather is still cold, and most people stay at home and are unwilling to go out, making business much more difficult than before.

But even though it's difficult, she has to keep going. Her husband is out there desperately searching for supplies.

She could only set up a stall at the base with her child, selling the supplies he had found to exchange for points.

That's how the family can make ends meet.

"Besides these two bags of cement, is there any other stock?"

Jiang Li thought that these two bags of cement weren't even enough to build half of the small house.

"Yes, yes, yes, we still have five packs of stock at home."

"If you want it, I'll have my man bring it over."

The female stall owner said excitedly.

"Then there are seven bags of cement in total."

Jiang Li first transferred half of her points to the female stall owner as a deposit, and then paid the remaining balance after her husband brought over the remaining five bags of cement.

The four of them wandered around the market for more than half an hour, but they couldn't find what they wanted from the remaining stalls.

After Jiang Li retrieved the glass and cement, he drove the snowmobile back to the villa.

Qin Yu and Ye Jingmo moved the cement and glass windows to the entrance of the backyard.

Jiang Li went inside, boiled a kettle of water, and brought it to Qin Yue and Qin Yu at the back door so they could warm themselves up.

After moving everything, Qin Yue stood at the backyard gate, looking at Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo. After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to speak:

"Jiang Li, do you have any extra guinea pigs? I'd like to try raising a couple."

It's okay if we don't have any big ones, two small ones will do too. The points will be doubled.

Jiang Li blinked.

"You have extra guinea pigs at home, but what are your plans?"

Getting food for guinea pigs at this time of year is not easy.

Qin Yue looked at Qin Yu in shock, wondering why he hadn't told her about this plan.

“We learned from you and started an indoor garden at home, which is enough for the two of us to make a living.”

I plan to gather some food to feed them, and once they reproduce, I'll sell fried meat chunks at the market. This way, I can have a stable source of points.

There's no need to earn points by going on adventures.

Qin Yu spoke sincerely, expressing his unwillingness for Qin Yue to live such a dangerous life with him.

Guinea pigs may not look big, but they have a lot of meat. If we cut them into small pieces and stir-fry or deep-fry them, we should be able to sell them to many people.

Jiang Li tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Then you don't need to keep guinea pigs."

Just come to me directly. Consider it a business partnership where we provide the raw materials and you provide the technology and management.

Following Jiang Li's line of thought, Qin Yu considered it carefully and felt there was no problem.

"Then let's go with a 70/30 split."

If Jiang Li were to produce a guinea pig, and the score were split 50/50, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

After all, the price of guinea pig meat is what it is, and Qin Yue doesn't need to provide food to feed the guinea pigs.

"It takes about two months for a new batch of guinea pigs to grow up. You can make some plans during this time."

If you have time, please tell us about the initial draft of your plan so we can discuss it together.

This was Jiang Li's first time setting up a stall to do business, and she was a little excited, just like when she was a child playing house.

"Okay, I'll go back and work out a plan first."

Qin Yue and Qin Yu bid farewell to Jiang Li and the other person, and walked towards the next room with their glass.

Back in the living room, Jiang Li took off her thick clothes, hung them on the clothes rack, and walked to the sofa, immediately adopting a relaxed, reclining posture.

"I'm so tired! I feel exhausted even though I haven't done anything."

Jiang Li sighed sincerely.

Ye Jingmo then slowly walked in through the back door.

He carried the glass and cement into the house, planning to go upstairs to repair the glass when the weather cleared up.

Hearing Jiang Li's tired voice, Ye Jingmo turned to look at her.

"They're already complaining about being tired before they've even started working."

It seems I haven't been exercising enough.

Jiang Li shrank back, recalling the miserable scene of being forced to exercise by Ye Jingmo.
