When Wanfu returned and saw the corpses scattered on the ground, he gave a knowing look.
It dragged the goose in front of Jiang Zhi, and said with a smirk, "Mom, stewed goose in an iron pot."
"Received." Jiang Zhi took a sip of Jia Duo Bao (a popular herbal tea brand), threw the goose into her spatial storage, used her mind to control the removal of its feathers, and then gutted it.
Wanfu dragged the three bodies into the wide crack created by the previous earthquake and found that there was one more person who was still alive.
If I remember correctly, it was this guy who brought up the topic.
Wanfu held a grudge and decided to make the man lie on the edge of the crack. The temperature was low at night and high during the day, so he would surely be scorched to death by noon the next day.
Heh, I don't want you to die so easily.
Jiang Zhi had taken all the valuables from these people; the so-called blue crystals were just two pieces.
Jiang Zhi is not rare.
The backpacks of these people were pitifully empty, containing only dirty clothes, smelly socks, and small bags of compressed biscuits.
Jiang Zhi burned it all in one go; it was truly an eyesore.
When Wanfu returned, Jiang Zhi was putting the goose into the pot.
This goose was huge. Jiang Zhi cooked a third of it and gave the rest to Wan Fusheng.
Wanfu was craving something delicious, so two-thirds of the large pot of ginger and angelica stew ended up in his stomach.
Jiang Zhi didn't really like eating the meat of mutated animals; she only ate it occasionally and just remembered the taste.
To avoid giving yourself away when communicating with others in the future.
Aside from professional topics, the only other things people talk about are food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Jiang Zhi is an extremely cautious person, and she wouldn't take any risks.
So it's better to be more cautious.
Wanfu ate with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil. Although the cooked mutant animal meat didn't contain much energy, he couldn't stop eating it every time his mother made it.
After the meal, Jiang Zhi cleaned the pot, added firewood and water, and steamed the wrapped braised meat buns.
This is something she just learned: in addition to the braised meat filling, each bun also contains a quail egg.
One bite and it bursts with juice, plus there's a little surprise inside.
In the afternoon, Jiang Zhi lay on a beanbag chair and closed her eyes to cultivate. Just then, a dark shadow blocked her mind from wandering.
Jiang Zhi opened her eyes and saw three men and two women standing in front of her, all of them extremely thin, but tall.
This demeanor makes her look quite like a model.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Jiang? We heard you can exchange metal for grain here. Is that still possible?"
The speaker was Luo Zheng, the captain of this team of superhumans.
The group was horrified when they saw the messy, dark blood that had been dragged across the ground.
"Okay, put the items on the scale. Would you like to choose dual-payment or single-metal payment?"
"We've used all our crystals for cultivation, so we don't have any extra crystals."
That's great! Jiang Zhi loves this kind of one-on-one selection the most because she really doesn't want to use a calculator.
Although the combined payment provides more food than pure metal, it's enough for a full meal.
"However, we don't have any seeds. I wonder if we can use them as a backup. After the natural disaster, all kinds of vegetation became rare, and seeds were no exception. We have no way to obtain seeds."
"Don't worry, once we get the grain, we'll return the seeds twofold."
"Yes, yes, please make an exception. We have no other choice."
Jiang Zhi thought about it for a moment and then decided to nod.
“Okay.” She took out a piece of cardboard she had prepared beforehand, on which were drawn the grains that were currently available for trade.
There are four categories: wheat, soybeans, rice, and potatoes.
Jiang Zhi asked, "Which one should we choose?"
Meanwhile, the three people weighing the metal finished weighing it, and it took seven weighings to calculate the total weight, which was 753 jin.
More than ever before.
After whispering among themselves, the group decided to exchange their rice for rice.
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly.
These people were slightly surprised when they saw Jiang Zhi make her move, but they quickly suppressed their curiosity.
They didn't overlook the dried bloodstains on the ground, large patches of them. Surely they couldn't be the blood of a mutated animal?
They encountered virtually no mutated animals along their journey.
Jiang Zhi has already started to encourage the second batch of crops. No wonder she can open a shop to sell grain, Luo Zheng thought. With such a special ability, she would have an inexhaustible supply of food in the apocalypse.
This also explains why this person was so clean. They have plenty to eat and don't have to work hard. Compared to those who risk their lives every day just to survive, this kind of life is simply heaven.

"Is the Boss Jiang you're talking about a woman? How old is she, and what does she look like?"
Xing Shiyan suppressed his surprise. He had never heard of anything that could rapidly ripen grains and repeat the ripening process without needing to regulate his breathing.
"He looked to be in his early twenties, very good-looking, with an outstanding temperament, but a bad temper." Xiong Dailin was very uneasy, but he really didn't want the base to become a living hell in a month or two.
What's the point of living like that?
If the base collapses, he will be left without protection, and everyone will lose their shelter.
Even now, intermediate-level ability users struggle to deal with a level-three mutated beast. If they don't unite, they're doomed.
Zhou Heng brought out the photo album. When he heard the name Boss Jiang, a person instantly popped into his mind.
"Is this her?" Zhou Heng turned to the page with Jiang Zhi.
“Yes, yes, that’s her! Based on the direction and address, I remember that area was a villa complex for rich people before the apocalypse, called Qingyuan or something, I can’t quite remember.” Xiong Dailin rambled on, but couldn’t get to the point for a long time.
Xing Shiyan and Zhou Heng exchanged a glance, then Xing interrupted, "How exactly will the grain be sold?"
"Exchange using a combination of metals and crystals." Xiong Dailin roughly described what was written on the shop sign.
You need to bring your own seeds, and if you need water, you also need to bring your own water bottle.
Zhou Heng was deeply shocked by Xiong Dailin's words.
Jiang Zhi can not only accelerate the ripening of grains, but also obtain water.
What kind of monster is she?
Dual-elemental ability users are not uncommon, but maintaining dual-elemental abilities requires more effort and resources than single-elemental abilities.
After listening to half of what was being said, Zhou Heng greeted Xing Shiyan and immediately went to find Zhang Zhaohe, who was conducting research in the basement laboratory.
"Haha, the person isn't dead?" Zhang Zhaohe limped to the desk, took off his white coat, and wiped his hands with a towel dampened with water.
"At Qingyuan, Director Zhang, should we invite the person back?" Zhou Heng asked very seriously.
Zhang Zhaohe shook his head: "We can't lock them up, and we shouldn't lock them up." He rested his chin on his hand and looked at the window drawn on the wall with a marker. After a moment, he said: "I'll go with you. This time, we really need to apologize to Jiang Zhi sincerely. Such talents are extremely scarce in the apocalypse. If we can cooperate, the base will be saved."
Zhang Zhaohe's eyes were bloodshot, his face was sallow, and he looked exhausted.
The base has been researching food and energy supplements recently, but unfortunately most of the materials were destroyed and the experiments failed.
