Before leaving get off work, Boss Zhao felt anxious and surprised, "Xiao Qin, look at this green radish, is it stronger? Look at this leaf, is it not so yellow, and this one, this one... "
How could Qin Wan have such fine eyesight as him? Honest said, "I can't tell, but it's a good thing that there are no new leaves turning yellow."
This reminded Boss Zhao, and he said happily, "You are right, without the pothos getting worse, they will definitely be able to survive this disaster and adapt to the current environment!"
Natural plants are also cultivated in laboratories. When they grow to a certain level and die less easily, they are moved out. Of course, the external environment is not as precise as in the laboratory, so migration is also jokingly called overcoming a calamity. Only after surviving this calamity can they take root. , and really started to reproduce.
Otherwise, it will always be just a "delicate flower" that cannot be separated from the experimental environment and will have little effect on human beings.
"Boss, I'm leaving." On the first day of work, Qin Wan brought a bag. Qin Huijun helped sew the bag. There was nothing in it, and it was carried back empty by Qin Wan.
"Wait a minute!" Boss Zhao stopped her and took out two dollars from his pocket, "You have taken good care of the green radish. They are expected to recover. I will give you this bonus in advance. I will refund more in the future and use it to buy some more." It's delicious and replenishes the body. You look as thin as a skeleton, and I don't want the people in the marketing management department to think that I treat my employees badly."
Qin Wan looked at him in surprise and said gratefully, "Thank you, boss."
"No need to thank me, you deserve it." Boss Zhao waved his hand impatiently and said angrily, "Go to work on time tomorrow. Don't be late. If you are late, your salary will be deducted."
"It should be." Qin Wan somewhat understood why there is a saying that a knife has a sharp mouth but a soft heart. She accepted the banknotes and went to the state-owned store as expected.
Unlike Xinxin Huayu, although it has not been open for less than three years, it is exaggerated to have been open for three years, but it is indeed early to get off work. There is no one in the state-owned store at the moment. Qin Wan asked the waiter if he had any chickens for sale. The waiter shook his head, but enthusiastically Qin Wan was taken to an area where chickens were sold. Probably considering the consumption level of Yunshan City, chickens were not sold whole but divided into chicken legs, wings, chicken feet, etc.
"Look at the healthy color and tight muscles. They are not loose at all. These are not caged chickens. They are free-range chickens. Once you have eaten these eggs, you will know how delicious these chickens are."
Qin Wan couldn't help but nod when she thought of the two bowls of egg soup.
Holding the two dollars in her hand, she finally asked, "How can I sell the chicken rack?"
"Chicken racks are cheap. They only cost 50 cents each. You can take them back and stew them. The chicken soup is very nourishing to your body." The waiter looked at her physique and didn't say much about how delicious it was.
Qin Wan calculated that their family's situation was a bit painful. She didn't have to eat her lunch at home. The fifty cents of sweet potatoes were enough for their family to eat for three days, but she bought them anyway.
In this case, saving alone will not suffice.
Thinking of the Junjun flour that Qin Feng said, Qin Wan left the state-owned store and found a flour seller. He bought a pound. He couldn't make pancakes without an iron pot, but he could make pimple soup.
Lastly are the sweet potatoes.
007 Sweet potatoes are cheap, but they can only sustain people's basic survival. Talking about nutrition is a joke. Qin Wan picked a small half of Luzon sweet potatoes and spent all the two yuan.
After weighing the bag, it was enough to last five or six days.
Now she still has the six cents given by Qin Huijun in her hand. Qin Wan put it away so that the money would not be spent. Not only would she not spend it, she would also have to find a way to save more, otherwise there would be chickens in the state-owned store and she would be gone. No money to buy.
The flour and chicken racks were put in the bag, and the bag of sweet potatoes could only be carried. In fact, it was not too heavy, only about seven or eight kilograms. But Qin Wan was so tired that he was sweating profusely from walking around. His body was getting darker and darker, and his body was still too weak. It was okay just to walk, but as soon as he picked up the heavy objects, he instantly realized what it means to be insignificant for a long distance.
But she wasn't too panicked, she just thought calmly in her heart that she still overestimated her physical strength, so she would buy less next time.
The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and Qin Wan felt less at ease than before. He kept observing his surroundings and felt slightly relieved when he saw more people in uniform on the road.
Suddenly there were footsteps approaching. Qin Wan tilted his head alertly, but a patrolman walked over. He was tall and lean, and said, "Little girl, where is your home? Why do you let you come to buy things alone?" "
Qin Wan said, "My family is in a shanty town, and my mother is too busy working on land reclamation."
The man reached out and picked up the sweet potato bag, "Let's go, I'll take you back. Don't buy so much in the future. You won't even have time to scream if you are robbed."
Qin Wan was stunned for a moment, not because he was surprised that he would be robbed, but because of the opponent's actions.
"Hurry up and follow her. It's getting late. I'll take you back. I have to continue patrolling." Seeing that she didn't move, the man turned around and shouted.
Qin Wan wanted to ask why he sent her away if he was going on patrol, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything, and followed silently.
In the early days of the apocalypse, she helped people and was helped by others. By the middle of the apocalypse, people were full of distrust and there was no help, only precautions. By the late days of the apocalypse, she had rarely seen her own kind and was busy every day. When collecting food and killing zombies, even if you bump into someone occasionally, you won't choose to go up and exchange supplies with them.
She lived her life as an island.
She said she wanted Qin Wan to hurry up, but the man did not urge her. Instead, he walked very slowly, taking care of her strength.
It wasn't until he reached the edge of the city and saw a large tent in the distance that the man stopped and gave her the sweet potato bag, "Go back."
Qin Wan said, "Thank you, uncle police."
"Yes." The man grinned, "Be careful."
Qin Wan picked up her bag and went home. When she reached the fifth row of tents, she couldn't help but look back. She found the man standing there looking at her back. When he saw her, he turned around and waved to her. Qin Wan turned a corner and walked in and lost sight of it.
She was in a good mood for no reason.

After returning home, Qin Feng was looking at the stove outside. He raised his head and looked around from time to time. When he saw Qin Wan carrying a large bag of things, he immediately came up to him and said, "Sister, let me help you get it."
Qin Wan didn't show off, Qin Feng's physical strength was actually better than hers.
Weighing the bag, he subconsciously said, "Sister, you bought a lot of sweet potatoes."
Qin Wan said, "The boss is very nice. I have already passed the probation period and gave me an advance salary advance."
She patted her cross-shoulder bag and said, "There are still good things in it."
Qin Feng's eyes lit up, "Is it another egg?"
Qin Wan laughed, "You can only buy eggs every seven days, have you forgotten?"
"Oh." Qin Feng felt a little aggrieved, "I don't have an ID card."
"You're still young. When it's time to apply for an ID card, you like to eat eggs. I'll use my mother's ID card to buy two tomorrow." Qin Wan touched his head.
Qin Feng suddenly became happy, but he didn't know what he thought of, and he was a little worried, "Sister, is your salary enough?"
"That's enough." Qin Wan didn't say much, she just said, "Our family of three has lost everything and we need to take good care of ourselves, otherwise we won't save money."
Qin Feng moved the sweet potato bag into the tent. Qin Huijun was packing things inside. Qin Wan also walked in, took out the chicken rack and flour from the bag, and whispered, "Mom, let's stew chicken soup all night." , add a little more water to make pimple soup tomorrow."
In fact, braised chicken racks are delicious, but don’t even think about the braised flavor right now.
The country is committed to restoring production and ensuring that no one starves to death as much as possible. The current artificial food varieties are very simple, mostly staple grains and oils, and there are not even many vegetables, let alone spices. Chili peppers are enough.
It's not a bad idea to use a chicken stand to make some chicken soup to soothe your stomach.
Qin Huijun said in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"
Before Qin Wan could answer, Qin Feng had already rushed to answer, "My sister's boss paid my sister's salary in advance!"
Qin Huijun was about to speak but stopped.
Qin Wan knew what she was thinking, "Mom, I almost fainted on the road today. A police uncle sent me back. Chicken racks are not expensive. It's better to replenish your body now than take medicine in the future."
Qin Huijun said nothing.
Compared to the 50 cents for a chicken rack, the medicine Qin Wan drank was extremely expensive.
Qin Feng suddenly laughed happily, "Wow, we have chicken soup at home."
Qin Huijun also smiled. She knew it was not good for her to save like this, but the scene where her daughter was lying on the hospital bed with weak breath and the doctor issued a critical illness notice really scared her.
Because she had savings, she was able to buy medicine to save her daughter.
Whether it is to open up wasteland or enter a farm in the future, it can only ensure that the family will not go hungry but cannot save money. Qin Huijun still thinks about setting up a stall and doing food business.
The recipe for pancake fruit was sold to someone else, so she had to think of another one.
Although they did not drink chicken soup that night, the family had high expectations for chicken soup and rarely ignored the stuffy environment and went to bed early.
The stove was moved into the tent, leaving only a small opening for the valve that controlled the heat. In this way, the chicken rack was simmered little by little, and a little oil and water were squeezed out. However, even so, the aroma of the chicken soup filled the entire tent, and along with it The whole family had a sweet dream. When Qin Feng woke up, he couldn't help but say, "Mom and sister, I dreamed last night that our family had a whole chicken banquet. There were so many plates of chicken on such a big table, and they were all meat. , it smells so good, I can’t bear to wake up.”
Qin Wan didn't expect it to smell so good. He took a deep breath and said, "Quickly, go wash up. Let's drink a bowl of chicken soup to moisten our lungs first."
Qin Feng screamed happily and rushed out first.
When the tent was opened, the aroma wafted out. Aunt Li couldn't help but ask, "Wanwan, what did your family do? It smells so good!"
Qin Wan said, "I bought a chicken rack at a state-owned store yesterday."
"How much?" Aunt Li was obviously moved.
"Fifty cents."
"I'm going to buy one before I start work. It's really hard to open up wasteland these days." Aunt Li gritted her teeth and got into the tent to get her ID card.
Aunt Wang next to her sneered, "What's the point of buying chicken racks? They're all bones. If you want to buy them, buy chicken legs. They're so oily and full of meat."
Qin Wan didn't like her, so he smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, your family has sister Qiu'er making money, and sister Xia'er subsidizing it. When are you going to buy a whole chicken and stew it to supplement them? I think Qiu'er My sister is not much fatter than me, but I am still sick."
She shook her head reluctantly.
Aunt Wang was furious when she heard that she was clearly laughing at her for treating her daughter harshly, "You are such a talkative little girl, be careful that you won't get married!"
Aunt Li came out with her ID card and retorted when she heard this, "Is there a problem with this? When your family has delicious food, why don't you take advantage of Qiu'er and Xia'er's absence? Girls should not be too soft, otherwise they will not be raped. She was abused by her mother-in-law since childhood and was bullied to death by her husband’s family!”
Qin Huijun also said, "My family is doing very well in Wanwan. I have found a job in the city. I don't have to worry about whether I can get married or not."
Aunt Li looked over unexpectedly, "Didn't you say probation period?"
"It's passed. The boss is a nice guy and gave me two yuan in advance." Qin Huijun said in a rare proud tone.
Aunt Li's mood was a bit strange. Their wages were calculated on a daily basis, which is the situation in shantytowns. If they were paid on a monthly basis, many people could only take mineral nutrient solution, but this was not the case in shops in the city.
Why is the boss so generous, giving me two yuan in advance? This salary is probably not low.
