As soon as the recruits left, the area seemed empty and everyone was in a panic.

Mu Chaoge is very stable on this side.

After the summer harvest, we start to arrange planting. The grain tax is very heavy, but it’s not that bad.

"Have you collected all the remaining grain? Give some of the new grain to others, and we can eat the old grain first. This way, we can take turns and the grain can be stored for a longer time."

Mu Chaoge was talking to Uncle Cai, and all the food had recently been stored in the granary.

Although this means that we will always eat old rice, so what? It is good to have something to eat during this period.

People eat old rice, and livestock such as chickens, ducks, and geese eat broken rice and rice bran. This is not a waste at all, and some rotten fruits and vegetables can also be used to feed them.

Uncle Cai also readily agreed, "Well, in reply to Third Miss, everything has been collected. The weather is good this year, and the grains are well dried. They will definitely last for a long time. Third Miss, don't worry. There is just one more thing."

He said that raising a lot of livestock is sometimes a consumption, and grain tax collection is high. If this continues, he is worried that there will be nothing to feed the livestock.

"If there is not enough broken rice and rice bran, as well as those rotten fruits and rotten vegetable leaves, how can we feed so many livestock?"

Last time, Mrs. Zhang and Little Mrs. Zhang were also worried about this problem. At present, it is barely enough.

Uncle Cai asked: "Should we reduce the number of livestock?"

With so many chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc., the daily food consumption is terrifying.

This is because they are raised in the mountains and can find food by themselves, which saves some food. Otherwise, they would consume more food, and if this continues for a long time, they will become malnourished.

By then, you will be too skinny or sick to eat.

Mu Chaoge started to think when he heard it, "Can I afford to feed her for half a year?"

Since the farm has to be self-sufficient, how can it run out of meat?

Uncle Cai nodded, "Well, it's enough for now, but I'm afraid it will become tight after half a year."

He again raised the question of whether the amount of feeding should be appropriately reduced.

Mu Chaoge said as soon as he heard it: "No, the road can't get narrower and narrower. If there is not enough food, we have to find a way. There are so many people here. If the livestock can't keep up, what will we eat? We can't live without meat."

She suddenly remembered that some people raised earthworms in the past. "Wait, I have an idea. We have so much space here. Let's just find a suitable place and raise some earthworms. They can be used to feed chickens, ducks, geese, and fish."

It seems that it can also be used for growing vegetables.

Uncle Cai was shocked when he heard this, "Can this thing be raised? This isn't something you dig out of the ground..."

Mu Chaoge immediately began to think, "Okay, let me think about it first."

She remembered seeing a video of this kind before, in which a man returned to his hometown to start a business raising earthworms.

Mu Chaoge still remembered a few details, but she had to experiment, so she said to Uncle Cai, "Find some breathable gauze, the ones we usually use for steamers will do, never mind, I'll ask Uncle Qiao if he can get this thing later."

She took advantage of this moment to trigger her memory. Fearing that she would forget it, she quickly told Uncle Cai to help her remember it. "We also need some black cloth to block out the light."

Mainly dig some holes in a cool place, then cover them with gauze to prevent the earthworms from running away, then add their food, ensure the soil is moist and shaded, most of the time, they can slowly reproduce

What Mu Chaoge lacks the least now is land, as he now has five farms.

It’s not a big problem to set aside a special area to raise earthworms. It seems that this thing can also be used as medicine?

Anyway, you can use it yourself or sell it to others later.

Uncle Cai said that he had never heard of such a thing. "Miss San is really amazing. How come she knows all these things? It sounds easy, but what do they eat?"

Mu Chaoge smiled and said, "Earthworms are easy to raise. All you need are some dry leaves and unwanted fruit and vegetable peels."

Uncle Cai laughed when he heard it, "There are plenty of dry leaves. These are the most abundant things on our mountain. We can bring some back when we chop wood."

Mu Chaoge nodded, "Yes, you can do it. Let Dazhuang or Uncle Dali go find Uncle Qiao and ask if he has any gauze or black cloth to block out the light."

She can then cover it with some other unwanted things to block out the light.

Just some black cloth.

Uncle Cai said that he would arrange some people to give it a try. "If it is really raised, then we livestock will have plenty to eat!"

No matter how bad it is.

These chickens, ducks, geese and fish in the fish pond can fill the stomach and replenish nutrition.

Mu Chaoge also nodded and said, "Isn't it? That's why the Dharma is invented by humans. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we cannot give up our own things."

It took a lot of effort to expand the scale to what it is now, with so many chickens, ducks, geese and so on.

If the supply is suddenly cut, there will be a shortage of meat in the future. If there is a shortage of meat, we will have to spend money to buy it. Prices are high now, and we don’t know what will happen in the future.

By that time, you won’t be able to buy meat even if you want to. By then, people will have no meat to eat and their bodies will be weak. When people are weak, what can they accomplish?

Isn't that just courting death?

Mu Chaoge absolutely could not do this. Unless people really had no food to eat, the number of livestock could not be reduced.

"It's enough to keep the current number. There's no need to raise more, but don't reduce it either."

This way everyone’s food problem will be solved.

Uncle Cai quickly said yes, and then said that he would go and arrange things first.

Mu Chaoge agreed.

Du Juan watched Uncle Cai leave in a hurry, then turned around and asked her young mistress, "Miss, when did you know that earthworms can be raised?"

Xiao Taozi didn't dare to interrupt, so she looked up and said, "Yes, yes!"

Mu Chaoge just made up a story, "I forgot too. Maybe I heard it from somewhere, or maybe I read it in a book. It doesn't matter. As long as the method works, it doesn't hurt to try it. What if it works?"

She doesn't mind the trouble at all and will raise the earthworms herself when the time comes.

Every time something new appeared on the farm, she had to go and check it out in person to feel at ease.

Waiting for everyone to get started.

Mu Chaoge would let them do it, "It just so happens that we have enough manpower now, so we don't have to spend too much time raising these things."

Just give it enough to eat and forget about it.

Just check on its condition every now and then, that's why she said it's easy to raise.

And they reproduce quickly.

There is no cost at all, so it is a very profitable business.

"It happens sometimes. When you encounter a problem, it may be a way to make money. If Uncle Cai hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have thought that I could raise earthworms!"

Mu Chaoge couldn't help laughing.

Sister Du Juan said to her, "It's obviously you who are smart, why are you praising Uncle Cai?"

Our little mistress is so good at talking, no wonder everyone likes her.

You can also praise others for your own achievements.

Little Peach also laughed foolishly.
