The two continued walking forward, and suddenly Yang Qing saw a ginseng, wild ginseng, with a complete shape, which was very rare, so he couldn't help but stop.

The old man in front of them saw them stop and asked quickly, "Do you want it? This is wild ginseng."

Yang Qing nodded. She majored in Chinese herbal medicine cultivation, but there was no large Chinese herbal medicine cultivation base in Xia City, so she went to work in a Chinese herbal medicine purchasing company.

When you come into contact with various Chinese herbal medicines, you will naturally recognize them.

"How do I change this?" Yang Qing asked.

"Ten pounds of new rice," the old man said, adding, "This is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. It used to be worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. It could save lives."

Yang Qing raised an eyebrow. This wild ginseng might not exist in a hundred years, but it could still exist in a few decades. However, in this apocalyptic world, everyone is so hungry that they are pale and thin. Eating it will only cause internal heat, and it is not as good as rice.

"If my wife wasn't so hungry, how could I be willing to exchange it?" The old man's eyes turned red.

Yang Qing and Lu Lin looked at each other. Ten kilograms of new rice was not a small amount. If Wang Min and the others knew that they were exchanging so much new rice for ginseng, they would definitely call them a spendthrift.

"It's too expensive!" Yang Qing shook his head.

"Ten kilograms of new rice only cost 40,000 yuan. How much rice could it have bought if it had been sold before?" The old man said with some sadness.

Yang Qing was helpless. "You said it was in the past. Now ginseng is not worth that much money. Even if you have money, it's not easy to buy new rice..."

"Then, eight kilograms, is that okay?" The old man looked at Yang Qing eagerly, with both hope and reluctance.

Yang Qing was a little tempted. Although the ginseng was of no use at the moment, it was indeed rare. "Deal!"

He took out a bag of eight kilograms of new rice from his bag, wrapped it in a black bag as usual, and handed it to the old man, "Take a look!"

The old man opened a corner of the bag, took a look, and quickly closed it. A little excitedly, he placed the bag at his feet, carefully wrapped the ginseng, and solemnly handed it to Yang Qing, "I hope you can use it well!"

"Don't worry!" Yang Qing nodded and reminded, "Be careful with the rice. There are so many people watching us."

"It's okay, my son is right behind us, but he is a researcher and has a thin skin," the old man whispered.

Yang Qing felt a little sad. Scientific research was useless now, with barely enough food to eat. Perhaps it would be useful later when the government built a survival base and began rebuilding their homes.

Hopefully he'll live to see that time.

The old man gestured backwards, and a man wearing glasses ran over quickly, his face a little red. He glanced at Yang Qing, picked up his things and left. The old man hurriedly followed him.

Lu Lin sighed, "Life is tough, but luckily you're by my side."

Yang Qing smiled and said, "As long as you don't leave me, I will always be by your side."

When I returned to the place where the assault boat was parked, I saw Li Shengnan standing there with an anxious look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Yang Qing asked.

Li Shengnan's face flushed immediately, and she pulled Yang Qing aside. "Do you have any sanitary napkins? I just looked at the department store, and they didn't sell them."

"Yes!" Yang Qing nodded, "Do you want it now?"

"Well, it came here suddenly just now..." Li Shengnan was very embarrassed.

Yang Qing smiled and said to Lu Lin, "Wait here, we'll go to the bathroom and be back soon."

"Oh!" Lu Lin nodded. Gao Yang naturally felt uncomfortable following them after hearing what they said. No wonder Li Shengnan had been acting weird just now. Why didn't she tell him earlier that she wanted to go to the bathroom?

When they reached the restroom door of the department store, Yang Qing handed Li Shengnan a sanitary napkin. She was surprised, "You still carry it with you?"

Yang Qing patted his bag and said, "This is a treasure bag. It has everything in it."

Then he felt like he was exaggerating a bit, so he laughed and said, "I always keep two in my bag when I go out, just in case."

When Li Shengnan came out, she had calmed down a lot. She asked Yang Qing quietly, "Do you have any more at home? I want to exchange some with you."

"Yes, let's talk about it when we get back." Yang Qing nodded.

The two of them took the deposited quilts and went to meet Lu Lin and the others.

We divided the quilts when we got home, but 802 couldn't fit any more, so we kept them with Yang Qing for the time being.

After a while, Li Shengnan came down with a box of self-heating rice. "Can I exchange this for your sanitary napkin?"

"Okay!" Yang Qing nodded. Actually, it was fine for them to give it to her, but she just didn't want them to develop the habit of taking it for free.

She still understands the principle of "a little kindness will be followed by a grudge."

Yang Qing gave Li Shengnan two packs of sanitary napkins, one for day use and one for night use.

"Is that enough?"

"That's enough, thank you!" Li Shengnan's face turned a little red, and she put it in a black bag and took it upstairs.

Lu Lin sighed, "It's the end of the world, can't this thing just not come?"

Yang Qing laughed, "If you really don't come, it will be terrible. You may not even be able to have children in the future."

"It's the end of the world. Who would still have children? How to raise them?" Lu Lin curled her lips.

Yang Qing was silent. Indeed, it was difficult to survive in the end times, let alone have children. It was not only a problem of food, but also the living environment.

In her previous life, she had seen cases where two lives were lost due to lack of timely medical treatment during childbirth, children died early due to malnutrition, and a whole group of people were exposed during escape due to the crying of their children.

Therefore, it is not wise to have children in the end times.

But that is too far away from me, so there is no need to think about it.

Yang Qing handed over the quilt she had bought for Leng Yi. "By the way, there's a barter event going on at the department store today. Do you want to go see if there's anything you want to exchange?"

"Is there any dog food?" Leng Yi asked.

Yang Qing was embarrassed, "I didn't notice!"

"Okay, I'll go over there myself some other day." Leng Yi said.

She took the quilt and put it in the closet. When Xiaoxue saw Yang Qing coming, she ran over happily and licked her hand affectionately.

Yang Qing patted its head and asked with a smile, "Come home with me to play, Aqi is waiting for you at home."

Xiaoxue wagged her tail and looked at Leng Yi. Leng Yi felt a little helpless, thinking that girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up.

"Then I'll come over too, and practice with you?"

"Okay!" Yang Qing nodded.

After practicing for two hours, Yang Qing came out of the room and asked Lu Lin, "It's your birthday today. Do you want to invite everyone to celebrate together?"

"No need for that. It's the end of the world, why celebrate birthdays?" Lu Lin hesitated.

"That's why we have to celebrate at this time. Let's have some fun, and we'll have good days every year in the future!" Yang Qing said.

Lu Lin smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Leng Yi happened to be there, so Yang Qing said to him, "Today is Lu Lin's birthday, come over for dinner tonight."

"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded and took Xiaoxue home.

Yang Qing went upstairs again and told the people in Room 802 that it was Lu Lin’s birthday and asked them not to cook in the evening and to come down to eat together.

In the evening, Leng Yi came first and brought a tube of noodles.

"You can't order a cake at this time, so I'll make you a bowl of longevity noodles. I wish you good health and longevity!" Leng Yi said.

Lu Lin chuckled. If someone didn't know her, they would think she was in her seventies or eighties, but in the end times, this was a good word.

"Thank you for your good wishes!" Lu Lin took the noodles.

Yang Qing pushed Lu Lin's shoulders and walked forward. "You are the birthday boy today. You are the oldest. You don't have to do anything. I will cook."

Lu Lin was about to say no, but Leng Yi said, "I'll help you!"

"You can cook?" Yang Qing was surprised.

"Yeah." Leng Yi said as he walked towards the kitchen, "My mother died early, and then my father married a stepmother. She wasn't very kind to me, so I had to do all the housework..."

"I'm sorry!" Yang Qing didn't expect that his life experience was so miserable.

"It's okay, it's all over. From another perspective, I should thank them, otherwise I might not know anything now." Leng Yi smiled.

Seeing that she couldn't help, Lu Lin quietly retreated.
