The vicious female supporting role only wants to farm

The New Year passed in the blink of an eye.

When spring came, there were more things to do and Mu Chaoge no longer felt bored.

But busy until takeoff.

The chickens, ducks and goose chicks that were carefully raised in the greenhouse during the winter must be moved out and raised properly.

The same is true for cattle, sheep and horses.

She still had to work in the fields, her uncle's business had not stopped, and her second farm also had to resume work. There were a lot of things waiting for her.

Fortunately, my second uncle’s bad luck did not come true, and the war did not break out.

However, the food shortage outside was still a mess, and there were fewer people on the streets. However, the government transferred a batch of food from other places, which at least gave the people a transition period. Going hungry was better than starving to death.

Uncle Cai went to inquire about the piglets nearby in the early spring. Most of the pigs raised last year were slaughtered by the end of the year, and most of them were turned into bacon and sausages.

The pigpen is empty now, we have to raise some more so that we can have meat to eat by the end of the year.

But there are many things to worry about.

Uncle Cai came over to report the situation to Mu Chaoge, but Feng wanted to avoid him.

Mu Chaoge told Feng that she didn't need to hide. "Are you going to be estranged from me, aunt? Just listen to me. What are you running around for?"

Feng no longer insisted, but sat down and listened to the conversation between the master and servant.

Uncle Cai also said, "It's hard to get piglets this year. There was no food last year, so farmers couldn't afford to raise pigs. Many big pigs were sold or killed. The price of piglets this year is very high! We really can't afford them!"

He asked Mu Chaoge if he wanted to wait a little longer, as it might be cheaper later.

Mu Chaoge asked about the price, and Uncle Cai said that a piglet would cost several taels of silver.

It is several times the price before.

When Mu Chaoge heard that it was only a few taels of silver, he said, "We don't have many piglets, right? We still have to buy some. They might be more expensive later. Let's buy a dozen first, and then we can breed the pigs and give birth to piglets this year, and we can save some money."

Uncle Cai nodded and agreed, "That's fine, but these piglets are expensive."

Feng said, "A dozen of them are only worth a few dozen taels, at most a hundred taels. How can this person not eat meat? We have to raise them. If Chaoge is short of money, I will make up for it. Uncle Cai, just buy them. Don't feel sorry for the money."

She said to buy good things and not be cheap, as her family is not short of money for the time being.

It's not that serious.

When Mu Chaoge heard this, he smiled and said, "What my aunt said is really domineering."

Feng couldn't help laughing and said, "I just realized now that no matter how much money you have, it can't be used as food when you are really starving."

If it weren't for this niece at the end of last year, the Lu family would not have been able to live such a comfortable life.

Feng felt that food and meat were essential, and the three farms really needed to be managed well. "I'll keep an eye on it for you later. Let's buy a few more hills and fields and plant more food."

In this way, no matter how chaotic the outside world is, everyone will feel at ease.

Mu Chaoge agreed immediately after hearing this, "That's great! I like fields!"

Just like her aunt said, after the tense feeling last year, food and land are really very important things, the more the better.

People cannot live without fields.

Mu Chaoge was not polite at all about this. The more land the better!

Uncle Cai felt relieved when he heard this and no longer worried about the high price. Since the young master said he wanted to buy it, he would go and bring it back.

"The other thing is the grain tax. This year's grain tax is the same as last year's winter harvest, so it's not low."

Mu Chaoge said it didn't matter, "If the weather is good this year, we can harvest a lot of grain. Now that the grain tax doesn't increase, we'll make money!"

She thought it would be higher than last year, but unexpectedly it was the same as the second half of last year. That’s already pretty good. In short, as long as the harvest can be successful, these are minor problems!

Uncle Cai nodded when he heard this. He felt relieved that his young master was so steady. "Then we only have spring ploughing left. We have fertilizers ready here, and we left grain seeds last year. We'll start raising seedlings these days, and we can plant them later. We're going to plant rice this year, right?"

Mu Chaoge said, "That's right. We should plant rice during the spring ploughing this year so that we won't be short of rice later. We have enough rice to last until next summer's harvest."

Therefore, even if they pay a heavy grain tax to the government, their farm will not be short of rice.

There are still a lot of sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour in the granary. Some of the sweet potato flour and dried sweet potatoes were consumed during the Chinese New Year, and the remaining sweet potatoes need to be eaten in other ways.

Mu Chaoge immediately started writing and drawing, recording some ideas so as not to forget them later.

Feng waited until she finished writing before leaning over to take a look. "Sweet potato meatballs? Sweet potato soup? Sweet potato cakes? Oh my goodness, Chaoge, are you writing the name of a dish?"

Mu Chaoge couldn't help but chuckle, "Auntie guessed half right. Write down the name of the dish first and complete the recipe later. I think there are many ways to eat sweet potatoes. We have so many sweet potatoes in the warehouse, it's time to use some of them."

Otherwise, seedlings will grow by then.

Uncle Cai also laughed and said, "We only have the materials for the tooth powder. Shopkeeper Qiao said that he has to look for some of the missing materials. It's hard to find materials this year."

Mu Chaoge said it was okay, "Just be patient and wait. If Uncle Qiao doesn't work, then look somewhere else. Isn't the new route open?"

She said she would ask in other cities, and if that didn’t work, she would tell her uncle.

Feng was about to say, "I'll ask your uncle to keep an eye on it and ask him to find the materials for you. Your tooth powder and scented soap are selling well."

It would be a pity not to sell it.

Therefore, the materials must be recovered and production there must be resumed.

Mu Chaoge couldn't help but hug Feng's arm and act coquettishly, "Aunt-in-law is really reliable. With your help and guidance, I can handle things faster."

Feng said she was a flatterer, "What does it have to do with me? You can manage it well even when I'm not here, but you just like to flatter me."

Looks like her uncle.

The big one and the small one always tease her to make her happy. They are really a pair of funny people.

Mu Chaoge laughed. She felt stronger now that she had someone to lean on. She didn't have to fight alone anymore. If she encountered something she couldn't solve, she would ask her uncle and aunt for help.

However, we still cannot trouble them easily in normal times, we have to strike the right balance.

Otherwise, if you always ask others for help, people will dislike you.

of course.

This is what Mu Chaoge thinks unilaterally, Feng and Lu Xingzhou do not think so.

The couple wishes their little niece could be more dependent on them, but at the same time they are proud of her independence and intelligence. There is no contradiction between them.

After discussing the spring plowing on the farm with Uncle Cai, Mu Chaoge felt much more at ease. All he had to do next was to follow the process step by step.

After seeing Uncle Cai leave, Feng also started chatting with Mu Chaoge, "Your uncle will be escorting the goods out by himself in a few days."

If she hadn't been tied down by the child, she would have wanted to go out for another walk.
