Wu Qi’s craftsmanship was still so good. The crisp and fragrant barbecue made Su Ruizhe’s mouth water. Now that he had come back from the apocalypse, his goal was not only to survive, but also to eat meat every day in the future.
After lunch was quickly settled, Su Ruizhe found a public telephone booth and called that Lao Zhang. It was not that he was so poor that he couldn’t even afford a mobile phone; he still had enough money to buy a second-hand mobile phone. However, the end of the world would come soon, and without any signal, mobile phones were the same as scrap iron. It would be better to buy some food for a few hundred dollars.

When Lao Zhang heard that he was a customer introduced by Wu Qi, he was very enthusiastic. He happened to have time this afternoon, so he told Su Ruizhe his address and asked him to meet him directly at his chicken farm.
Lao Zhang’s chicken farm was in the outskirts of the suburbs. In order to save money, Su Ruizhe took more than two hours and changed three buses to get to his destination.
Lao Zhang was in his fifties. He was a kind and honest man and knew that Su Ruizhe was introduced by Wu Qi. So, there was no need to mention just how enthusiastic he was. He helped select twenty chickens and twenty ducklings. They all were jumping around.
When it was time for dinner, Lao Zhang’s wife, also a warm person, asked Su Ruizhe to stay for dinner. He was so overwhelmed that he had to say yes. A farmer’s dinner was very simple: a large pot of chicken stewed mushroom and a bowl of red-roasted meat. The large pot of chicken stewed mushroom was boiled with home-raised chicken, the meat was fragrant and tender, particularly delicious. As for the red-roasted meat, each piece was juicy and thin, broiled over a fire for an afternoon. It was crisp and chewy, and melted in one’s mouth! Even the white rice in his own bowl tasted very good, soft and sweet. Su Ruizhe ate a big bowl of rice in two mouthfuls. He was a little embarrassed in the beginning, but Lao Zhang and his wife happily gave him more food and made him eat more.

Gradually he let go, and ate three big bowls of white rice with delicious meat.
“Haha, young man! Just eat more!
What a healthy body!
” Lao Zhang and his wife were happy to see him eat as if the food was really delicious.
After he ate and drank enough, Lao Zhang also prepared two big cages for him. The chickens and ducks were packed in the cages. They chirped and quacked in a lively manner. They charged him 500 yuan altogether.
“Hurry back, young man. It’s hard to walk in the dark.” The enthusiastic Lao Zhang took him all the way to the station.

“All right!
But I wonder what kind of high temperature is coming?
Got it! Thank you, young man!”
Su Ruizhe looked at Lao Zhang’s back and sighed. He could only help them this much.
It was getting dark. At this time, the station was empty except for Su Ruizhe. He simply put all the things he was carrying into the space. When the bus arrived, he got on
easily

He transferred buses three times to get home. As soon as he opened the door, Su Ruizhe noticed a piece of paper on the ground. He picked it up and discovered that it was from his Eldest Aunt. Obviously, she came to find him today but found that he was not home. She was given the cold shoulder again, so she could only leave a note.
Su Ruizhe could imagine her anger by looking at the pressure of her handwriting. The note only said that his Uncle missed him, so he must go to their house for dinner tomorrow.
Su Ruizhe sneered, and tore the paper to pieces and threw it into the garbage can.
After locking the door, Su Ruizhe flashed into the space.

The chickens and ducks were having fun on the broad grass fields on the other side of the spring. They were all lively, but they seem to be confined to the area and did not run amok and spoil the vegetable gardens and orchards. Su Ruizhe took some millet and scattered it on the ground. He looked at the little chickens and ducks eating without raising their heads. Su Ruizhe immediately smiled, curving his eyes merrily.
Su Ruizhe could not help swallowing his saliva when he thought of the chicken stewed mushrooms and red-roasted meat at Lao Zhang’s home today. He had been hungry for too long in his last days and never wanted to repeat that painful day.
These little things were of both genders – males and females. As long as they were well cared for, he believed that they would grow up soon. When the time came, not only could chicken and duck eggs be eaten, but he would also have new chicks and ducklings. From time to time, he would be able to eat fresh meat. If anything, he should pay attention to sustaining their population.

Su Ruizhe also planned to buy rabbits, pigs, and sheep. Rabbits would be in heat all year round, so they bred very quickly. Pigs, cows, and sheep would all enrich future recipes. Although the valley was small, there was enough space for these animals.

Looking at the clear spring water, Su Ruizhe thought about buying some tools in the near future, so he could dig out a small fish pond and raise some fish krill. He remembered that Zhan Yun had said that he liked to eat fish.
Su Ruizhe can’t help sighing when he thought of Zhan Yun. How could he get close to Zhan Yun? Zhan Yun, who was so defensive, would certainly not have any favor for those who came up to him inexplicably.
Ah…
Shaking his head, Su Ruizhe decided not to think about it for the time being. Like yesterday, he picked many vegetables, melons, and fruits and put them in bags, ready to sell them for money tomorrow.

There were too many things to do, too many things to buy; he needed to stock up on daily necessities, clothes, and medicine, which were all difficult to produce after the apocalypse in his previous life. He only hated that the apocalypse was too close and he had to make do with too little money. When the notice came, he would definitely sign the contract! Three hundred thousand! He didn’t know just how many things he could buy with that amount.
Unfortunately, he remembered that it would take at least a month for the notice to come down. Only, in his previous life, he received the money for the relocation five days before the apocalypse began.

If he kept selling vegetables, he could earn nearly 1000 yuan a day.

The next day, Su Ruizhe went to the East Street vegetable market with fresh fruits and vegetables picked from the space. Those aunts and mothers who came out to buy vegetables in the early morning bought their vegetables here. Although the price was slightly higher here, they were willing to buy. Who made his food so fresh and delicious? They heard that it was homegrown.
The morning passed quickly. Su Ruizhe packed his bags and trolley, patted dust off of his body, and left. He still had a lot of things to buy today.
After eating two bowls of red-roasted beef noodles, Su Ruizhe set out for the second-hand market.
He really had no money now. He could only come here to try his luck and find bargains.

But he wandered around and saw that there was nothing to his liking. Most of the second-hand electronic products were here, but the end of the world was coming, so he was not willing to spend money to buy this scrap copper and iron. It was time for him to spend his money on something that would help during the apocalypse. Every yuan must be spent on the
edge of the knife
Just as he was about to leave the second-hand market, he suddenly saw a pile of toy guns on a small booth in the corner.
More precisely, they were Air guns. An Air gun was a kind of toy gun that fired plastic bullets through compressed air or a little gunpowder. These toy guns, big and small, were imitations of some popular guns and weapons from TV series, such as pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and so on. But they were simply toy guns. Real guns were very different from the toy ones, it was easy to see at a glance that the toy ones were used without fear of causing panic
.
Su Ruizhe’s eyes lit up immediately. Others might consider these guns as toys for children to play with as they came loaded with plastic bullets. The most it could do was shoot balloons, birds or anything small because there was no lethal force. But for Su Ruizhe, that was the best weapon for him!

Su Ruizhe repressed the excitement in his heart and slowly walked over, taking a casual look and asked, “How much for these guns?”
“One gun for three hundred! Thirteen in all. If you really want all of them, give me three thousand.”
The toy guns were sold by a middle-aged man who was somewhat messily dressed, wearing a pair of metal glasses with deep eyes. His whole person looked sad. Although these toy guns were not valuable, it should have taken him some time to collect so many of them. Su Ruizhe could guess what might have happened to his family for him to sell them. So, Su Ruizhe did not haggle; he simply took out the money from his pocket and bought all the toy guns on the ground.
Thirteen toy guns, big and small, of all kinds, were given to him by the man along with some plastic bullets, and he left with a sigh.

The people at the booth next to him sighed and chatted with Su Ruizhe as he squatted down to collect his things. It turned out that this man had set up a stall in this second-hand market for several days. It was rumored that his teenage son had disappeared. These toy guns were all his son’s favorite things. When the family was short of money, he took them to sell for money.
Every family had its own difficult experiences, and it wasn’t easy for everyone to live through them.
Su Ruizhe left the second-hand market with these toy guns, found a public toilet, and put the things into the space.
Three thousand yuan, almost all of Su Ruizhe’s savings from selling melons, fruits, and vegetables during his three days of rebirth, was used to buy these toy guns.

Anyone else would surely think that Su Ruizhe was making a fool of himself, but Su Ruizhe felt that he had received a very good deal.
Whether it was before or after his death, real guns and ammunition were not things that ordinary people like him could get. These toy guns might be toys for others, but they held a different value for Su Ruizhe.
Su Ruizhe’s power was very special. He could turn vegetables and fruits planted in his space into weapons. Like a very popular game, peas in his vegetable garden could be turned into green bullets. When loaded into the toy guns, they became almost like real guns, could be used to deal with some low-level zombies.
