The vicious female supporting role only wants to farm

Chapter 152: Everything Goes Up in Price

The farm has had a good harvest of sweet potatoes recently. Although Mu Chaoge did not allow them to be sold, he also bought a lot for himself.

If this thing is stored well, it can last for a year or two, so you can stock up some.

At the same time, I made a lot of dried sweet potatoes as snacks.

Nanny Zhou went to the city on this rare occasion and wanted to buy some things.

I took Dujuan with me.

Xiao Taozi practices calligraphy at home.

Mu Chaoge took Zhang and the others to make dried sweet potatoes for a while, and then returned to their own small courtyard.

Not long after, Nanny Zhou and Sister Dujuan came back and drank a lot of water as soon as they came back.

After drinking, he started muttering.

"Oh my, everything is going up in price now. The price of food has increased several times, oil is expensive, sugar is expensive, and I heard that even toilet paper has gone up in price!"

Nanny Zhou kept complaining, looking as if she was in pain, saying that since she didn't buy many things today, the money had already been spent. In the past, she could buy three things with the same price, but now she could only buy one. How could she not feel bad?

"This is unbelievable, it's really unbelievable. If the price keeps going up, will there be any way to survive?"

After saying this, Nanny Zhou sighed, "Our young lady has foresight. She stockpiled a lot of things in advance, and now she has saved a lot of money!"

After drinking a cup of tea, Du Juan wiped her chin and said, "Nowadays, everything is going up, even the wonton vendors on the street are going up in price."

Upon further inquiry, I found out that pork prices have increased!

She also praised Mu Chaoge for her foresight. Some time ago, she made her own malt sugar, which was quite successful. Her own farm now has chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, pigs, a fish pond, and the warehouse is full of grain.

Saves you the trouble of buying it.

If we keep running the business well, we will be able to achieve complete self-sufficiency in three to five years.

Xiao Taozi was horrified when she heard this, "Why has everything become more expensive?"

Mu Chaoge was looking at the book in the warehouse. "Because there will be chaos at the border, floods in the south, and I heard there will be insect plagues somewhere, the price of cotton will also rise."

So if the price increases, everything will increase in price and become more expensive.

When Little Peach heard this, she said, "It's a good thing we have a farm. It's great to have a farm. We have everything!"

Mu Chaoge said, "We don't have everything. We don't know how to make soy sauce ourselves, do we? We don't know how to make straw paper, do we? Salt is also limited."

Even though there are a lot of livestock like chickens, ducks, and geese, they can't keep up with the speed at which everyone eats them, right?

However, although she could not eat meat herself, the people on her farm would not starve to death. She could even take in some relatives and friends and overcome the difficulties together.

Now the farm is not only her paradise, but also her support in troubled times.

However, there is strength in numbers. By then, there will be the guards of the Lu family, the guards of the Qiao family, plus the several large villages that currently have good relations with the farm.

Mu Chaoge felt that his place was very stable, at least more peaceful than other places.

When Madam Zhou heard this, she laughed and said, "We have these farms, which is good enough!"

Sister Du Juan was right, "Nowadays, many people outside regret not having more farms. Now they need to store food, which costs a lot of money."

Madam Zhou also told a piece of gossip, "But I heard that many farms are selling grain at high prices now."

Mu Chaoge said it was not worth it. "If we sell it now, what will we do if we don't have food? Even if the price is several times higher, we may not be able to get it back."

If there is so much food at home that the family cannot finish it, that’s another matter.

If we only focus on the immediate benefits, then our vision is too short-sighted.

Madam Zhou also smiled and said, "Isn't it? Otherwise, why do you say that our Third Young Miss is so powerful?"

He has a long-term vision.

However, no matter how difficult life is, we have to live our lives. It does have an impact on Mu Chaoge, but it is not that big.

So the days passed.

Autumn came in the blink of an eye. We heard that natural disasters occurred frequently in other places, but it was relatively okay in their area. So, despite everyone's concerns, the autumn harvest was completed smoothly.

Zhang and her family were so happy that they said they would burn incense and pray to the gods, hoping that the farm could have a smooth harvest. After the autumn harvest, they began to look forward to the winter harvest.

The price of cotton is also outrageous this year.

I'm afraid that many people can't afford winter clothes. Fortunately, Mu Chaoge made new clothes for everyone at the end of last year. Except for the children who are still growing, the adults don't have to make new clothes or make one less piece of new clothes.

The weather turned cold again in a blink of an eye.

The news coming from all directions was not good, and the people around were also in panic.

Lu Xingzhou even began to secretly stockpile food.

Mu Chaoge took the initiative to tell his uncle that he had set up several basements specifically for storing food.

He even brought his uncle over to have a look.

After reading it, Lu Xingzhou just patted her on the head, remained silent for a long time, and praised her for doing a good job!

Afterwards, he told her not to tell anyone and secretly transported a lot of food over.

Mu Chaoge accepted it all.

I often go on inspections to check the storage environment of the grain.

The people on the farm kept their mouths shut.

No one will tell anyone.

Duan Yuanshan and his team helped build the basement, but their character is beyond reproach.

Mu Chaoge actually didn’t know what the future would be like, he just reminded Duan Yuanshan and the others to stock up on some things.

Duan Yuanshan just smiled and said, "They are all stored. The older generation in the village are very smart. They gave orders early in the morning. Not only our village, but also the surrounding villages are not to sell the food. They are all kept for themselves."

All are not fools.

Everyone is secretly hoarding food, not just food, but other things as well.

Mu Chaoge was also happy to see everyone stockpiling things because it would make her farm safer.

She is not doing any big projects now, and the farm has been almost completely renovated. Recently, Duan Yuanshan and others have been helping her build the wall.

If we improve the walls of these farms, they will be safer.

It's almost been another busy year.

The autumn rain came that day.

The cold wind blew in gusts.

It's a rare time for everyone to have a rest. The autumn harvest just ended a while ago, so we haven't been very busy recently.

Rainy days are the slack season for farmers.

The big guys on the farm can finally take a break and stay at home.

Or just get together in twos or three to chat.

Mu Chaoge was also curled up in his recliner, enjoying the rain. He was wrapped in a soft blanket, and holding an account book in his hand, doing some accounting.

Little Peach was dozing off next to her, already wearing thick autumn clothes.

Nanny Zhou and Sister Dujuan were doing needlework and chatting about things in the city. They said that the price of meat had risen to more than one hundred coins per pound, and they didn't know how much higher it would go in the future. Ordinary people in the city were reluctant to buy meat.

Seeing Mu Chaoge lying in the wind, Nanny Zhou couldn't help but mutter, "Oh, my ancestors, be careful not to catch a cold. The two of you are disobedient and insist on sitting at the door. Come in quickly, or you will get a headache if you are blown by the wind too much."

Little Taozi was startled by Nanny Zhou's voice and woke up with a red face. She was wearing thick clothes and covered herself with Mu Chaoge's extra blanket.

It's not cold.

Mu Chaoge wasn't cold either, the blanket was thick enough, but she just wanted to enjoy the rain.
