The vicious female supporting role only wants to farm

After Mu Chaoge adjusted the business handover issues, he is now freer.

Anything that needed to be discussed was thrown to Uncle Cai and Liang Yong to deal with, and she no longer showed up. It was a mess outside, and her uncle and aunt also asked her to go out less.

Therefore, she has been staying at the farm recently, and even the road construction matters have been left to Uncle Cai.

"We'll check the situation later. After the winter harvest is over, we'll tell Brother Duan and his men not to come again. Let them go back and rest, and I'll give them an extra five taels of silver each for the New Year."

The farm has been almost completely renovated, and so many people have been working on it for more than a year.

Indeed, most of it has been completed.

Mu Chaoge had wanted to make his repairs more sophisticated before, but now the world has changed, so he has to change his strategy. Saving his life is the most important thing.

Nanny Zhou quickly agreed. Recently, they were the ones who had to deal with all the outside matters. Their young lady was getting older and she really needed to stay away from them.

To avoid unnecessary trouble.

Xiao Taozi spent several days cursing those who spread the rumors.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Sister Du Juan was also scared, "The black-hearted people out there are really talking nonsense if they want to bully others."

Xiao Taozi was also very angry.

Mu Chaoge comforted them, "Okay, it's over now. Why are you still thinking about it? Just deal with it. It can also be regarded as a reminder to us."

Only then did they nod in agreement.

It's a bit chilly now. The weather is getting colder and colder recently. Winter is coming again.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Although Mu Chaoge never left the house, he could hear the news coming from outside. The price of food was rising every day. A pound of rice rose from more than a hundred coins to several hundred coins, and later it cost nearly one or two taels of silver to buy a pound of rice.

When I heard this.

Mu Chaoge is making bacon, and the whole farm is filled with the aroma of bacon.

Da Zhuang and his friends went to deliver tooth powder to Sifang Grocery Store, saying that food is as valuable as gold nowadays.

"When we came back, we saw officials investigating something on the roadside. Winter grain will be available soon, and I heard that the quantity will be limited this time."

The looting of food in the vicinity finally alarmed the government.

Er Zhuang also said, "If the quantity is really limited, then ordinary people can finally buy food. I heard that many people are almost crying because they can't buy food. It's okay for the disaster-stricken south to be short of food, but why are prices being driven up here too?"

San Zhuang also expressed his incomprehension. "I heard that the government sent people here to investigate the issue of grain hoarding. If they find someone, I heard that the excess grain will be confiscated, and they will be fined and beaten."

Zhang and Little Zhang were also pickling bacon and rubbing pepper salt on it.

Hearing this, I also said it was scary.

"Look at what a fuss this has caused. It was all caused by those unscrupulous vendors."

"That's right. They wanted to make money from the disaster-stricken areas, but ended up making us suffer. They are really evil-minded."

It also implicates ordinary people.

It's so sinful.

Mu Chaoge was a little worried about the Lu family when she heard this, but since her aunt-in-law said no, then there was definitely no one. But she was also afraid that someone might frame her!

Moreover, her farm has stored a lot of food, but if you really want to check, it’s not much more. Her uncle bought several batches of food.

But if the Lu family retreats here by then, plus her grandmother, grandparents and so on, all added up, there would be more than 300 people, right?

After calculating, the food was only enough for a year and a half at most. Besides, she hid it in the basement, so it was not a big problem and she was not afraid of being checked.

Everyone talked again and again about the price of food.

However, Lu Xingzhou's business was so big that he must have some connections.

While checking several nearby towns again and again, Mu Chaoge's side was always safe and sound, and nothing went wrong, so he really managed to avoid a lot of trouble.

Mu Chaoge was a little nervous at first, but later she just ignored it and focused on stockpiling meat. At the end of the year, she slaughtered several fat pigs and was busy making bacon and sausages from them.

While the weather is suitable.

It's been very dry recently and there hasn't been much rain, which is perfect for making these.

Zhang asked her how to add seasoning to the sweet sausage.

Mu Chaoge told her the recipe and reminded her, "By the way, we also need to catch the fish in the pond, right? Let's go check it out later."

Xiao Zhang was leading other women in cutting the meat. When they heard what was said, they all said that it was ready to be fished out.

"Sister Fang passed by yesterday and saw a lot of big fat fish. Miss San is also busy and rarely goes fishing. She has never used a net to catch fish. She always catches two when she wants to eat. Who would have thought that the fish would get fatter and fatter!"

"It's better to be fatter. Fish should be fat to be delicious. Otherwise, it will be full of bones."

"Thanks to Miss Third's careful consideration at the beginning of the spring, we raised chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock, and even a lot of fish. Now it's just the right time to collect them."

Otherwise, when the fish pond freezes in winter, all the fish will be wasted.

Mu Chaoge said anxiously when he heard this: "It's definitely not okay to freeze it. So, I'll ask Da Zhuang and the others to help me catch some fish this afternoon to make cured fish."

Smoked fish can be stored for a longer time.

Then, after a while, when the weather is good enough to freeze the fish, catch the remaining ones and freeze them all outside.

Zhang and the others all agreed, "It's better to be busy. The day goes by quickly and it's dark in the blink of an eye. We feel at ease."

"That's right, seeing so much food does make us feel relieved."

Especially since people outside are still snatching all kinds of food, their farm has no shortage of food and meat, so it can at least last for a long time. Not to mention that as long as the weather is fine, their farm can continue to produce even next year.

Mrs. Zhang and Little Mrs. Zhang could also feel the anxiety of their young master, which could be seen from the fact that she came to the big kitchen every day recently to help them with their work.

"Miss, don't worry too much. Go and have some rest. If there's anything you need to do, just tell us. You don't have to stay here every day."

"That's right. Our farm is much better than others. We all believe that we can get through this difficult time safely."

I have endured the most difficult times in the past, so what does this matter?

Zhang and Little Zhang were both very confident and even tried to persuade Mu Chaoge.

Mu Chaoge was indeed calm at the beginning, but she was a little too worried without realizing it. She sighed, "Hey, did my aunt and sisters-in-law find out too? Never mind, then I'll just rest and you guys get busy."

Zhang and Little Zhang smiled and praised her for being amazing. How old was she? She was already able to manage the farm in an orderly manner. It was because of her good arrangements at the beginning of the year that they could feel at ease. In the end, it was all thanks to her.

"Go and have a rest. We are here with you. Miss San, just rest assured."

There is this sentence from Zhang.

Mu Chaoge really left, leaving the big kitchen to Zhang and the others and no longer keeping an eye on it.
