Amaranth has the highest yield, with two production pits, and can produce 336 jin (168 catties) in 12 hours.
Every day, 300 jin of vegetables are handed over to the team. According to the way the team's canteen distributes vegetables, one jin of vegetables is enough for four people, which is enough for 1,200 people. They are distributed every two days, so everyone can have vegetable soup without having to fight for it.
In the evening, everyone had a fruitful day.
A long line formed again in the Chen family courtyard, with each household carrying their own charcoal and whispering among themselves, beaming with joy.
"6 jin of low-grade charcoal, 15 jin of medium-grade charcoal, and 25 jin of high-grade charcoal, for a total of 293 points," reported the Army.
"Wow! So many points! Enough to buy so many things!" exclaimed the person at the back of the line.
The troublemaker's father was so excited he was incoherent; this was the first time his family had earned so many points.
The troublemaker chimed in, "Dad, we need salt when we buy cotton!"
The troublemaker's father chuckled foolishly, "I want cotton and salt."
Army: "Cotton, 100 points for half a jin; salt, 10 points for a spoonful; buy two spoonfuls and get one free. How much do you want?"
The troublemaker's father said happily, "Half a pound of cotton and four spoonfuls of salt."
The troublemaker continued, "I also want a 5L mineral water bottle, filled to the brim with water."
His grandmother had instructed them to buy food and water, and to store some of both.
"Hey kid, are you stupid? The water price is 6 points for 2.5L now, but it's usually only 1 point. Maybe the price will go back to normal tomorrow, then it'll be cheaper to buy it then," a boy in the crowd shouted.
Many people think that the troublemaker's family is foolish for buying water even after the price has increased so much, and that they should wait until the price returns to normal before buying it.
The troublemaker knew that he and his father couldn't argue with so many people, so he had no choice but to quickly finish buying the goods and leave.
"Uncle Lu, I also need 5 points worth of Smilax glabra, two catties of large bones, and a stone pot."
Lu Jun said, "There's no more Smilax glabra. The last six pieces were taken by the Sanpi family."
The troublemaker paused for a moment and said, "Then let's have one pound of amaranth and half a pound of banana stalk cores."
The core of a banana stalk is made by peeling away the outer layers of bark from the banana tree, leaving only the inner core, which is also edible.
The Chen family is selling this; 8 points can be exchanged for half a jin (250 grams).
The troublemakers always buy the cheapest items, but they don't need to buy any cacti for the time being.
He plants cacti every day and earns a reward from them; he earned two dollars today.
Army: "We're out of banana stalk cores too, they're all sold out."
Not only the troublemaker's family, but everyone in the team buys food that is easy to store and cheap.
Banana stalk cores last longer than cactus and amaranth, and with the weather so cold, they can be eaten even after being stored for a while. Those with enough points will buy some.
No one expected that the Smilax glabra and banana stalk cores would be sold out. They had just seen Chen's son eating Smilax glabra this morning, how could they be gone all of a sudden!
The troublemaker's father said, "Then give me two catties of banana root and one catty of perilla."
Banana root is the thick tuberous root of the banana tree, which looks a bit like taro, and costs 15 points for half a jin (250g).
After exchanging so many items, the troublemaker's family had very few points left, but they were all very happy.
"I want half a pound of cotton, half a chicken, 10 spoonfuls of salt, 2 pounds of pork bones, 1 pound of amaranth, 1 pound of perilla leaves, and 1 pound of banana roots," a girl said excitedly.
Her family had earned 513 points, enough to buy a lot of things, so she specifically asked her grandparents to let her do the shopping so she could have a go.
"Tsk~ Half a chicken, that's really generous! It makes me so envious," one person said enviously.
After a while, banana roots, perilla, amaranth, sweet potato leaves, sweet potato vines, and radish leaves all sold out, and those who were still waiting in line became anxious.
Old Man Chen and his family had expected this to happen; their grain reserves weren't a bottomless pit.
They need to hand over the grain to the team, donate some to the welfare meals, and also owe food to Baijia Village, as they themselves, a large group of people, also need to eat.
The limited quantity of these items means they are sold in limited quantities, so it's normal for them to sell out.
Old Man Chen watched calmly and called out, "Da Ya, go and inform them that our family is donating blankets to the elderly in the team."
Those in the team who are eligible for senior citizen meals, come and collect your blankets; one set per person.
There are 166 people who can enjoy the senior meal program. Even after deducting the elderly in their area, more than 150 sets still need to be distributed.
The team erupted in excitement upon hearing the good news.
Today, just by receiving blankets, some families have gone from the depths of despair to the pinnacle of life, winning without lifting a finger.
The distribution of quilts by the Chen family is not based on households, but on the number of registered individuals.
If a family has two injured workers and one pregnant woman, they can receive three sets of quilts.
Based on the number of people per household, the family that received the most blankets today received a total of 6 sets.
There are two elderly people, a pregnant woman, a new mother who is still breastfeeding, and two workers injured on the job in their family.
You can imagine how difficult their family's situation must have been.
But today, their family experienced a complete turnaround, receiving six sets of quilts in a single day.
The quilts sold by the Chen family cost 888 points per set, and new quilts can be recycled for 800 points per set.
This is like winning the lottery, it's so awesome!
Five days later, just as everyone expected, Silly Girl was still updating, and it was impossible to access her account.
Everyone already knows the true nature of Silly Girl; she's an unreliable and troublesome person!
"Silly girl, how can you be so useless? You update every day, and each update takes so long!" Daya complained.
System: "Host, the update is very useful."
Daya yelled in frustration, "What good is that! Are you out of your mind? What we need right now is food, food!"
"You lunatic! You actually gave me rocks, a whole hundred of them! Do you expect us to eat rocks for food?!"
She was furious. She had seen the sign-in reward before, which was 100 rocks for the sixth day. She had warned the silly girl not to give her that useless thing and to get something else.
In the end, they still gave her a rock!
What does she need so many broken stones for? They can't be eaten!
Give her cherries or milk; she needs those!
System: "Host, the rock blocks from the sign-in rewards are very useful to you, just like in Mini World, and they are not affected by gravity."
Da Ya asked suspiciously, "Is it really the same as over there? If it's used to build a house, it can be built steadily without adhesive?"
Can it be built horizontally with a hollow center? Can the lower stones be knocked away, leaving the upper stones suspended in mid-air?
System: "Yes, but the function is one-time use. Once the stone is broken after use, it cannot be recycled."
Daya rested her chin on her hand and said, "Even so, giving me so many rocks won't do any good."
We were fleeing famine, and we could only stay for a few days before having to continue our journey. Even if the houses were built, they would only benefit others.
Couldn't you give me more cherries or milk?
Alternatively, the egg-turning gun would also be acceptable.
System: "After the system update, the number of items and food received from daily check-ins will increase."
Daya: "I don't believe you for a second!"
