As soon as Jiang Li arrived at the warehouse entrance, she saw a reserved middle-aged man standing there, with the security guard whom Jiang Li had questioned the day before standing next to him.

Jiang Li briefly inquired about the situation from the security guard and learned that the uncle was unable to speak due to an accident in his childhood.

The uncle had to find a new job only after his previous boss left.

"The salary is 3500 yuan a month, and the main job is to open the door for delivery trucks."

Upon hearing about the job, the middle-aged man immediately began gesturing with his hands.

"He said the salary was too high, 2500 would be fine."

The security guard explained from the side.

"This number is enough; they can start working right now."

Jiang Li was quite satisfied with the uncle, and after understanding the situation, she let him start working immediately.

After chatting with Jiang Li, she headed to her main destination for the day: the farmers' market.

Purchasing various crop seeds and agricultural tools is her forte.

The farmers' market was packed with people, mostly elderly men and women wearing t-shirts, cotton trousers, and straw hats.

In addition to various seed shops, there are also many livestock shops in the market, and even some mobile stalls selling cats, dogs and sheep.

Even with a large crowd, the scene remained orderly. The Market Supervision Administration has a strong control over this area, and any merchants selling products with quality issues will have signs posted at the entrance.

This move greatly protected the interests of farmers, which is why the farmers' market has been thriving for so long.

Jiang Li casually walked into a seed shop, and the owner immediately came up to her.

"Show me your best seeds; I need several thousand acres' worth," Jiang Li said.

When the boss heard the amount Jiang Li ordered, he looked her up and down with a cunning look, as if he were looking at a fat rat.

Jiang Li looks like a naive young girl who is probably not very familiar with agriculture.

After all, nowadays, which young person wants to stay in the fields and farm? They'll definitely be sent by their family to buy things.

The owner then turned around and took out seeds from the cabinet behind him.

"These are our best seeds, a high-quality variety developed by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. They have a high survival rate and a high fruit set rate. But they're not cheap."

The shopkeeper rubbed his index finger and thumb together, giving off an impression that the item was quite expensive.

Jiang Li glanced at the seed, reached out and touched it, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"If the seeds are good, I certainly won't mind if they're expensive."

The boss smiled with satisfaction. If this deal went through, he would have earned back his rent for the month.

But Jiang Li changed her tone, saying coldly, "The seeds are a good variety, but what do you mean by giving me old seeds?"

"Are you trying to fool me because I'm young?!" Jiang Li stared at the boss and smiled coldly, her gaze like sharp thorns that made the boss tremble all over.

Jiang Li noticed something was wrong as soon as she touched the seeds. They were old seeds that had been soaked in chemicals, and the germination rate would be very low if she bought them and planted them.

Most people might not be able to tell, but it's impossible to fool Jiang Li, who has always dealt with crops.

The boss was sweating profusely, but he still forced a smile and said, "You're framing me. Go ask around and see who doesn't say my seeds are of good quality. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."

After saying that, he shoved Jiang Li out. Jiang Li quickly dodged, and the boss didn't have time to pull back his strength, so he tripped and fell.

"Ouch!"

The boss stood up, supporting his aching back, and was about to feign pitifulness to deceive the situation.

"Then I'll call the market supervision department and see if these seeds are as good as you say."

Jiang Li pretended to take out her phone, then glanced at the boss. "Deceiving customers and passing off inferior products as superior ones, I wonder how much you'll be fined? Or maybe they'll put up a sign at the door saying you're selling inferior seeds?"

Seeing this, the shop owner, disregarding his back injury, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, saying in a humble tone, "Let's talk this out. If you call the market supervision department, I won't be able to do business here."

Seeing Jiang Li's indifferent attitude, the boss gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "I'll sell you good seeds and give you a 30% discount."

“Three times the price,” Jiang Li said.

"This... I'm already losing too much money. I can't go any lower than 60% off." The shop owner's heart was bleeding.

"Then it's a 10% discount." Jiang Li said without any mercy. For such a cunning old fox, only by making him bleed profusely will he know the pain.

"No, no, no, 30% off it is. I've already lost a lot of money, oh my god." The shop owner was on the verge of tears; this sale not only didn't make him any money, but he was also losing a lot of money.

Jiang Li carefully checked all the seeds the boss had given her, and only after confirming that there were no mistakes did she have someone send the seeds to the warehouse.

The boss was heartbroken and beat his chest in frustration, wondering why he had thought young girls were so easy to fool.

After leaving the store, Jiang Li went to the farm tool store next door.

Shovels, rakes, sickles, electric weeders, grinders, harvesters, threshers, sieves...

Jiang Li bought every tool she could possibly need. However, to save space, she only bought medium-sized ones.

Jiang Li then ran to the shop that sells agricultural pesticides.

Herbicides, nutrient solutions, insect repellents, fungicides, rooting powder...

Jiang Li also bought 1000 kilograms of nutrient soil, intending to plant there later, since she didn't know if the land would be polluted later.

As Jiang Li walked out of the last shop, her eyes narrowed. In and out of these shops, she had noticed a gaze subtly watching her.

When she looked back, she didn't see any suspicious figures.

Jiang Li thought that her large purchases had attracted someone's attention, so she lowered her head and quickly walked into another alley.

A fierce glint flashed in Jiang Li's eyes as she took out a small knife from her spatial storage and concealed it inside her clothes.

If anyone wants to rob her on the road, they'll have to see if this little knife will allow it.

After that, teach them a lesson and send them to the police station. In the apocalypse, they'll be in jail.

But listening to the footsteps behind her, Jiang Li noticed that something was wrong with the footsteps. Why were they so quiet?

She turned around abruptly and saw a dog that hadn't had time to hide itself.

Its pale blue pupils reflected Jiang Li's figure. Its messy fur was covered in dirt, and it looked to be only five or six months old.

Jiang Li recognized it as a German Shepherd, and she walked over, somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Is it you, little thing, following me around?" Jiang Li said, feigning fierceness, while gently stroking the German Shepherd's fur.

The German Shepherd, seemingly unable to understand human speech, simply trotted over and rubbed against Jiang Li's trouser leg.

"Go away, I can't keep you. You're so smart, you should be able to find a good owner." Jiang Li squatted down to be level with the German Shepherd and nodded its head.

When the apocalypse comes, she might struggle to survive, let alone raise a dog.

Then she got up to leave, but the German Shepherd grabbed her trouser leg and dragged her along the ground.

"Woof woof~" Let's take the dog back.

Jiang Li looked into its round, expectant eyes, while two conflicting thoughts clashed in her mind.

“It might be tough following me, do you still want to come?” Jiang Li asked the German Shepherd.

"Woof woof~" The dog has taken a liking to you, so you belong to the dog now. Whether life is hard or rich, the dog will stick with you.

The loud and domineering bark directly expressed its thoughts.

Consider it fulfilling my childhood dream of having a pet. Even if the end of the world is coming, I will do my best to protect it.

"Then you'll be a good boy/girl, and from now on you'll be called Pudding."

Jiang Li picked up Pudding and took her to the pet hospital for a bath and a check-up. There was nothing wrong with her; it was just malnutrition caused by being a stray.

The doctor also gave Pudding a vaccination, which made the German Shepherd, who had been so majestic after his bath, jump into Jiang Li's arms and act cute, while giving the doctor a disdainful look.

The doctor was so angry he laughed. "Believe me or not, next time I'll take something else from you?"

Jiang Li looked at Pudding, who resembled a dog spirit, with an expression of utter disbelief.

To make up for the emotional damage Pudding suffered, Jiang Li could only buy it the dog food and treats it wanted.

Jiang Li also bought pet shampoo, medicine, toys, and other supplies in one go, enough to last her for decades, before finally taking Pudding home satisfied.
