After having breakfast, Zhuang Mingcheng took the letter written by his wife and went to the regiment.

This concerns his wife's career, so he had to have it mailed to the provincial capital as soon as possible.

At home, Lu Fangfang rested for a while but didn't go to sleep.

She called out to Xiaohua, and they got on the donkey cart, ready to go to the farm.

As for the little yellow dog, it's its turn to be on duty today.

The rapeseed outside must not be damaged in the slightest.

"You stubborn little donkey, stop being lazy and hurry up."

Lu Fangfang sat on the donkey cart and slapped the stubborn little donkey.

She had a warm egg in her pocket. She took it out, peeled off the shell, and held it in front of Xiaohua.

"Little Flower, here, this is a reward for catching the rabbit last night."

"Meow~"

Little Flower sniffed it, took a bite, and started chewing.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey ahead got upset and started kicking.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang quickly picked up the eggshell and walked to the little stubborn donkey.

"Why are you throwing a tantrum? I can't forget you."

She also had a quail egg in her pocket, which she took out and placed with the chicken eggshell.

The little wild donkey rolled the dough into its mouth and chewed it, but couldn't tell the difference. Only then was it satisfied and started pulling the cart.

Lu Fangfang suppressed her laughter and quickly sat back on the donkey cart.

Sigh, these little guys at home are so clever; without some tricks, there really aren't enough eggs to go around.

When they arrived at the farm, she parked the donkey cart at the entrance, called Xiaohua, and went inside.

Early in the morning, Wang Shufen was eating a pancake.

When she saw Lu Fangfang arrive, she quickly waved.

"Hey girl, I think the quail eggs in the incubator are about to hatch. When Lan Ying comes later, tell her."

"Are the baby quails about to hatch?"

Lu Fangfang's eyes lit up.

She calculated the days and realized that exactly half a month had passed since she started incubating the eggs, and it was time for them to hatch.

She strode into the incubator, took a few quail eggs from under the blanket, and listened to them.

There was a slight pecking sound from inside the warm quail egg.

"Girl, you're right, aren't you?"

"Yes, it should have been ready by morning. Now, our farm is finally doing well."

Looking at the room full of quail eggs, Lu Fangfang was very happy.

Once these baby quails hatch, there will be more than 2,500 quails in the farm.

After removing the male quails, there are still more than 1,300 left.

Once another batch of quail eggs is hatched, the first phase of the breeding farm's goal will be achieved, allowing the soldiers in the regiment to eat a quail egg every day!

"Sister Shufen, go and do your work in the fields. The donkey cart is at the gate. I'll have Xiaohua call you when the quails hatch."

"Okay, don't forget to call me."

Wang Shufen nodded; she hadn't finished harvesting the rapeseed in her field and needed to hurry back.

After Sister Shufen left, Lu Fangfang busied herself in the incubation room for a while.

After a while, she carefully closed the door and went into the breeding shed.

Seeing that there wasn't much food left in front of the cage, she picked up the bucket and scooped some feed into the quail's trough.

"Chirp chirp~"

"Chirp chirp~"

The quails in the cage all crowded forward, poking their heads out to peck at the ground.

Of these feeds, grass seeds account for 50%, cornmeal 20%, bone meal and fishmeal 15%, and bran 15%.

They had all tested these methods; this ratio was economical and didn't interfere with the quail's egg production.

After a while, Sister-in-law Lanying arrived.

Seeing Lu Fangfang sweeping up the excrement with a shovel and broom, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Little Lu, give it to me quickly. You're pregnant now and can't stand the smell of this."

"Sister-in-law Lanying, it's alright, I'm not that delicate."

"By the way, I saw the baby quails in the incubator. They're going to hatch this morning. Go check on them."

Zhao Lanying's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded.

She snatched the tools from Xiao Lu's hands and immediately started cleaning.

These quails in the shed eat a lot and poop a lot, so we have to clean it every day, otherwise it will smell terrible.

Lu Fangfang was just about to lend a hand when she heard the sound of the courtyard gate outside.

After telling Sister-in-law Lan Ying, she turned and walked out quickly.

Upon opening the gate of the farm, two little girls stood outside, carrying bags on their backs.

Lu Fangfang wasn't surprised to see Da Niu.

But when she saw another girl, she was stunned. "Da Ya, why are you picking grass seeds too?"

"Auntie, please don't tell my mom."

Daya looked north and then quickly ran into the yard.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang smiled and shook her head, "You silly girl, what's the big deal about picking grass seeds? Do you think your mother would ask for your money?"

Beside her, the girl's face darkened.

"You two wait here, I'll go get the scale."

Lu Fangfang went to the storage room, took out a steelyard balance, and then weighed the grass seeds the two of them had picked.

The grass seeds that Da Niu brought today were only half the usual amount, but Da Ya's cloth bag contained quite a lot of grass seeds, weighing more than four pounds.

She calculated the price, wrote it down in her notebook, and then gave the two girls the money.

"You two just need to pour the grass seeds from the cloth bag onto the tarpaulin over there."

The two little girls clutched the money and happily poured out the grass seeds.

Before leaving, Daya was still a little worried. "Auntie, please don't tell my mother."

"Okay, go ahead."

Lu Fangfang waved her hand and said, "Sister Shufen is a reasonable person; she won't take the child's money."

She glanced at the quiet girl next to her and sighed inwardly.

After seeing the two maids off, she was about to go back when she saw a carriage approaching from the north.
