This business is really profitable. The boss praised him again yesterday and brought the goods into the circle of the upper class rich.

Wow, the second generation who used to be arrogant and arrogant, were so happy when they saw the umbrellas that they doubled their profits without bargaining.

Hahaha, I didn't expect that the extravagant second generation would worry about umbrellas one day. It's so cool!

A whole cow? Jiang Ning was instantly tempted, but remained calm and said, "Okay, but it has to be traded in batches."

"No problem."

After a few days, the whole cow was finally traded.

Just before leaving, the monkey said something surprising again, "Miss, we still have mutton, do you want it?"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask, "How much?"

"A total of 150 kilograms."

After the two big orders, there were only more than a thousand large umbrellas left. She didn't plan to sell them again. In two years, the appreciation will be faster. After

taking the mutton, Jiang Ning did not forget to remind him, "I don't want anyone to know about our transaction."

The monkey understood immediately, "Don't worry, sister, we are professionals. We only care about the authenticity of the goods and never ask about other people's private orders."

In fact, he also smuggled orders, otherwise how could he support his wife and children? He would have died long ago.

There was less mutton, but there were enough pigs, cattle, and fish, plus the meat that she had hoarded and collected before, which was basically enough for her and the dog to live until the end of their lives.

Thank you again for the gift of nature.

Huo Yishen went out, and Jiang Ning took care of the two at home. Since Doudou was there, they didn't dare to turn on the electric heater, and used charcoal to keep warm. They made mashed potatoes mixed with minced meat, and the two were very happy.

Zheng Weili and the other two stayed in the Mid-Levels Villa for five days, and used all their strength to drag back hundreds of kilograms of charcoal.

They were all black from head to toe, and those who didn't know would think they had crawled out of a coal kiln. They looked very haggard.

Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen helped to move the charcoal. The competitive Kele bit the mouth of the sack and kept pulling it upstairs.

Survival is really not easy. Many people go to the Mid-Levels Villa Group to chop wood. The three of them take turns to guard the site, day and night, and they are still being targeted.

If they had not been strong enough and were wearing "bulletproof vests" made of color steel plates, they would have been tricked.

In the end, they pulled out their guns and successfully repelled the malicious people.

The three of them fell on the sofa, too tired to even talk.

Jiang Ning lit a stove for them to keep warm and made a super large portion of noodles with minced meat sauce. After the three of them finished eating, they felt a little more energetic. They

boiled water on the charcoal stove, washed themselves from head to toe, and fell asleep in the quilt. It

was not until the afternoon of the next day that they were completely relieved.

Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen did not work, but they had made contributions to guarding the house, so Zheng Weili gave them 50 kilograms of charcoal each.

Neither of them wanted to take advantage of this, so they refused to take it.

The Zhong family didn't want it either, but Zheng Weili forced it on them, "Grandma, if you hadn't told us how to make charcoal, we wouldn't have been able to get the charcoal back."

Grandma Zhong had no choice but to accept the offer.

Jiang Ning took out the New Year's supplies she had exchanged, "These were exchanged for a gold necklace, a ring, and a watch, and a pack of cigarettes."

These days, although gold and jade are still accepted by some people, they are no longer as valuable as they used to be, so it was a pleasant surprise to be able to exchange so many things.

Zhang Chao was shocked. "In this kind of horrible weather, there are still potatoes and tomatoes, and the beef is fresh. It's amazing."

"You are surprised by what you have seen." Jiang Ning's eyes flew over, strangling his idea in a cradle. "We ordinary people can't do it, but those who are rich and powerful can't do it?

They asked for 996 blessings before the end of the world, and they can still continue to suck blood after the end of the world."

"That's right." Zhang Chao agreed deeply. "With such a big natural disaster, those people may have received the news a long time ago. Even if they didn't, they are also the key targets of protection. They planned everything as early as the beginning of the natural disaster."

This is true. There are really conspirators in the end of the world.

They exchanged money and food for power, and established a rescue base in the early stage of the natural disaster. Survivors had to hand in supplies if they wanted to enter.

It was OK at first, but soon it became a mess, with all kinds of intrigues for power. There

was also fighting between bases, playing the game of big fish eating small fish, and the survivors were the victims in the end.

At the beginning, Jiang Ning also wanted to go in, but she couldn't afford the entrance fee.

Later, it became more and more difficult. The entrance fee was not charged, but they recruited people to play the game of eating fish.

Jiang Ning didn't want to give away her head, so she had to continue wandering outside.

Therefore, she really didn't like private bases.

Compared with private bases, official bases are much better, and the best are military bases.

If the living environment continues to be poor, the military base will be the last retreat, but not everyone is qualified to enter.

Let's walk and see, it's still a long way from the military base being open.

…

On New Year’s Eve, the 18th floor put up Chinese couplets.

Not only were they put up in front of every door, but also at the entrance to the 18th floor.

The Zhong family father and son were on holiday, and they happened to be putting up the couplets that Jiang Ning had sent them, and greeted each other.

After a quick lunch, just as they were about to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner, Grandma Zhong brought Zhong Ping up to pay New Year’s greetings.

Zhong Ping was holding something in his hand, saying that he was thanking the 18th floor for taking care of Grandma Zhong and her mother during this period.

“This is a benefit from the unit, you can use the flower pots to plant it.”

A benefit that can be planted?

Everyone was curious, and when they opened it, they found that it was actually a potato the size of an egg.

It was not frozen, and the skin looked particularly thick.

Zhong Ping explained, "This is a cold-resistant potato that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has just developed. It won't freeze if you add some medicine to it and plant it in a pot."

The freshly-made experimental product has been planted in the greenhouse on the upper floor, but it is not certain whether it will be successful if it is distributed to the survivors, so it has not been announced to the public yet, and is only used as a welfare for various internal units.

The quantity is limited, and each person only gets one kilogram.

There are three people in the Zhong family in the system, so one kilogram was given to the 18th floor.

It is extremely cold and there is no sunlight. If you want the potatoes to grow well, you have to add light, which means that the 18th floor has to work harder to generate electricity by pedaling a bicycle.

"Can it really survive?"

Zhang Chao and others were very excited. Does this mean there is another way to survive?

Zhong Ning nodded, "It can be planted, but whether it is planted well or not and how much can be harvested depends entirely on the planting conditions. If there is no condition to supplement light, the crops will definitely be very poor."

Harvesting once every three months is not only cold-resistant but also highly productive. If the crops are planted well, four or five kilograms of potatoes can be produced.

As he spoke, Zhong Ping did not forget to tell the 18th floor the planting method, "First, mix the antifreeze agent into the soil, cut the potato buds and soak them in the potion for three hours..."

Everyone was delighted, and Jiang Ning suddenly asked, "It takes three months to harvest potatoes. If the extreme cold ends halfway through planting, what should we do if other disasters come at that time?"

This was the case in his previous life. Jiang Ning received the second batch of cold-resistant potatoes, and the extreme heat came before they were mature. The potato seedlings could not withstand the high temperature and died.

Zhong Ping thought for a moment, "What you said is indeed possible. The weather station was destroyed. No one knows what the climate will be like in the future. However, based on the extreme weather we have encountered during this period, meteorological experts predict that it will be a global disaster.

This disaster is unprecedented and is related to the wanton destruction of the environment by humans over the past hundred years. No one can know in advance what we will experience in the future, but it is estimated that the disaster will not end in a short time."

Zheng Weili was shocked, "It cannot be ended in a short time. How long will it take?"
