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

"Clap!"

The crisp sound of a slap broke the tranquility.

Jiang Li frowned as she looked at the shriveled mosquito carcass stained with blood in her hand.

This is the tenth mosquito she has killed since she finished breakfast and started watching a movie in the living room.

Ye Jingmo noticed a large, bright red bump on Jiang Li's fair arm.

Jiang Li felt an itch coming from the spot where she had just been bitten, making her want to scratch it with her fingers.

Ye Jingmo took out a bottle of mentholatum from the drawer, dabbed a little on it with his finger, and gently applied it.

She looked up at Ye Jingmo, who was sitting next to her and completely undisturbed by mosquitoes, and gave him a mournful look.

"Brother Mo, why are these mosquitoes chasing after me to suck my blood, but they won't come near you at all?"

Are they bullying me?

Jiang Li cursed the mosquito's ancestors for eighteen generations in her mind, wondering for the ten thousandth time why such a species as mosquitoes exists in this world.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingmo replied in a joking tone:

"Perhaps your blood is too sweet."

suddenly,

He noticed a black mosquito hovering over Jiang Li's other arm, ready to land at any moment.

Ye Jingmo's eyes sharpened, and he quickly extended his five fingers and pressed down.

Jiang Li was chatting with Ye Jingmo when she felt a slight throbbing pain in her arm.

She looked down and saw a dead mosquito on Ye Jingmo's palm.

"Ugh, there are so many mosquitoes today!"

Jiang Li was internally exploding. She scratched her hair; she couldn't take it anymore.

She took out mosquito coils from the storage space and lit them in all four corners of the living room.

She refused to believe that the mosquitoes could still be so rampant.

Ye Jingmo guessed that the unusual behavior of these mosquitoes was most likely due to the combination of stagnant water and the earthquake.

Thanks to the mosquito coil, Jiang Li was finally able to watch movies without the buzzing of mosquitoes around her ears.

Feeling cheerful, Jiang Li hummed a little tune.

Jiang Li felt a vibration on her wristwatch and looked down to see it was a call from Qin Yue.

"Sister Jiang Li, are there a lot of mosquitoes at your house?"

The background noise on the other end of the communication line was the crisp sound of swatting a mosquito.

"Yes, I just sat there and killed at least ten mosquitoes."

Jiang Li felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.

"It's the same everywhere, as expected."

I was practically bitten to death by mosquitoes at home.

Qin Yue's tone was full of annoyance and dislike, a sentiment Jiang Li shared deeply.

"My brother and I are going up the mountain to pick some mugwort."

When we were picking mushrooms before, I happened to see a whole patch of mugwort on a hillside.

Can mugwort repel mosquitoes?

Jiang Li only knew that mugwort could be used to make mugwort cakes and foot baths, but she never expected that it could also repel mosquitoes.

"Yes, it can be dried and then used for direct burning."

However, it smells a bit unpleasant.

We have mosquito repellent at home, but the scent doesn't last long enough; once the scent dissipates, the mosquitoes fly back.

Qin Yue was driven crazy by the mosquitoes.

So she thought of a traditional method: burning mugwort.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of going up the mountain to pick mugwort to burn as mosquito coils.

After all, the smell of burning mugwort is really pungent.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and decided that she could take some mugwort and use it to make mugwort rice cakes.

That unique aroma of mugwort is something that nothing else can replace.

Some people really like it, while others feel nauseous at the smell.

"Okay, you can bring some for us."

"Just tie him up with something and throw him in from the backyard."

Jiang Li and Qin Yue said.

"Okay, we'll tell you when we get back."

Huh?

Jiang Li reopened the page she had just closed and carefully read the information on it.

"Brother Mo, the government is buying up a large quantity of mosquito repellent products."

It says above that you can exchange it for any item.

Should we exchange some of our food for other items?

Jiang Li's space contains mosquito repellent, mosquito repellent liquid, mosquito coils, and other supplies, some of which were collected before the natural disaster, and others were dug out from the ruins after the disaster.

Ye Jingmo pursed his lips and said:

“We can give them what we collected from under the rubble; it won’t be easy for them to suspect us.”

Ye Jingmo agreed to exchange mosquito repellent products, partly because there was enough storage space, and partly because she was worried about the spread of disease through mosquitoes.

"Let me see how much we can sort out."

Jiang Li took out twenty boxes of mosquito repellent collected from the ruins in the space; and thirty boxes of mosquito coils.

What should we change?

Most people would definitely use these to barter for food, but they have plenty of food, so using them to barter for food would take up some space.

"Or how about a plant growth light?"

Jiang Li thought about the seedlings in the planting trough on the third floor, and how the plant growth lights could accelerate their growth.

Jiang Li forgot to include this item when she bought the goods.

Now is the perfect opportunity to make an exchange with the authorities.

Ye Jingmo had no objection to this.

Jiang Li sent a message to Zhou Tian, ​​and he quickly replied.

They will be here soon.

Fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the villa's door.

Jiang Li carried the mosquito repellent products to the front yard before opening the door.

Zhou Tian and four soldiers stood outside the door.

Zhou Tian had obvious dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he hadn't had a good rest in a long time.

His hair was a mess, plastered to his scalp, but his eyes remained bright.

"Where is the thing?"

Zhou Tian got straight to the point without any subtlety.

Jiang Li stepped aside, revealing the box behind her.

"What would you like to change? I will apply to the management department and do my best to meet your needs."

Zhou Tian was very grateful to Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo for their help during the official's difficult time.

As long as it's within their capabilities, Zhou Tian will do his best to apply for the best for them.

"We want to replace the plant grow lights."

Jiang Li didn't stand on ceremony and directly stated the items she needed.

Zhou Tian frowned. Under these circumstances, planting tools were very precious.

Once the effects of the earthquake have subsided, the authorities will organize manpower for reconstruction.

Farming for food is definitely the top priority.

If it's food Jiang Li wants, he can immediately approve it.

For the plant growth lights we need now, we'll have to ask the management department.

Zhou Tian typed a message on his watch and clicked send.

"Wait a moment, let me ask if there's anything we can give you in exchange."

Jiang Li leaned against the door, waiting for the results of Zhou Tian's inquiry.

"Sure, but the number of units you can exchange depends on the amount of mosquito repellent you provide."

Zhou Tian had the soldiers behind him load the mosquito repellent supplies from the front yard onto the vehicle.

Only then did Jiang Li notice that there was a tricycle parked at the entrance, with a bicycle in front and a wheeled vehicle secured to the back with a chain.

The tricycle was quite small, and even after stacking four or five layers of mosquito repellent products, it was still impossible to put them all out.

Zhou Tian had no choice but to have his soldiers transport one batch back first, and then return to transport the second batch.

"I will send you what you asked for as soon as I get back."

Zhou Tian assured Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded, preparing to close the door.

But seeing that Zhou Tian had no intention of leaving, a question mark popped into her mind.

Zhou Tian scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"If you grow a lot of things, you can consider trading with the authorities later."
