"Little Huang, don't go into the water lately. If you want to eat fish, just come to me, and I'll have my big white goose catch some for you."

Lu Fangfang stroked the little weasel and told her some things to pay attention to after becoming pregnant.

Well, she didn't care whether Xiao Huang could understand or not.

The little weasel squinted its eyes slightly, so comfortable it was almost asleep.

Looking at its adorable appearance, Lu Fangfang smiled and patted it again.

She had previously looked up information about weasels, which can give birth to two to five offspring at a time, and she didn't know how many puppies Little Yellow was carrying.

"Squeak~"

"Um?"

Lu Fangfang turned around and saw a weasel standing upright on the grass not far from her, calling anxiously.

She looked at it carefully and then noticed the difference between it and Little Yellow.

This weasel is a bit bigger than Little Yellow, and its tail is also longer.

"From now on, I'll call you Big Yellow. Little Yellow, that's what your husband is calling you."

Lu Fangfang scratched Xiao Huang's chin.

"Squeak~"

Little Yellow groggily got up and stood in Lu Fangfang's palm, barking impatiently at Big Yellow on the grass.

"Squeak~"

"Squeak~"

Dahuang stood upright and couldn't help but take two steps forward.

Looking at Little Yellow, it cried out in worry.

Xiao Huang looked back at Lu Fangfang, still hesitant for a moment.

Lu Fangfang laughed so hard. She patted Xiao Huang's head one last time and said, "Go on, come visit me again when you have time."

After saying that, she put Xiao Huang on the ground.

bass!

Big Yellow quickly rushed forward, grabbed Little Yellow, and ran away.

"Slow down, slow down."

"Squeak~"

"Squeak~"

The two little ones cried as they crawled into the hole.

Lu Fangfang laughed for a while, then couldn't help but think of pikas.

Once Little Yellow's babies are born, life will be tough for the pikas in this area.

In addition to her pets, there's her little flower and Tibetan fox, and now there's a big white goose that's tasted the sweetness of life—let's make sure it doesn't eat up all the pikas on the pasture.

She looked back at the scattered rabbit burrows on the grassland and shook her head again.

Well, with just these few little guys, it's good enough if they can control the number of pikas on this grassland in the group. As for eating them all, that's simply impossible; pikas reproduce way too much.

"Oh...ah..."

"Giggle~"

On the distant grassland, the white geese and wild donkeys seemed to have made another harvest.

Lu Fangfang turned her head and saw a large white goose carrying something in its beak, spreading its wings and running towards them, with a little wild donkey following closely behind.

Upon reaching them, the large white goose strode forward and released the pika from its mouth.

The two little ones looked at Lu Fangfang at the same time.

Seeing that she didn't make a move, the little wild donkey raised its head and brayed urging her on.

"Oh...ah..."

Lu Fangfang: "..."

"You two are really not polite."

She drew the dagger from her waist and reluctantly cut the pika in half.

"Oh...ah..."

"Giggle~"

The little wild donkey and the big white goose seemed to have a tacit understanding, and each stepped forward to eat their half.

Lu Fangfang looked at the bloody mess and felt disgusted.

She wiped the dagger on the weeds, sheathed it, and then turned and left.

She couldn't stay any longer; these two little ones were treating her like free labor.

Back at the farm, she took out her notebook and began to think about her future plans.

Quails are a type of poultry that lays eggs quickly, but they are also culled quickly. They only have a peak egg-laying period of about one year, after which egg production gradually declines. Therefore, each batch of quails must be culled regularly.

In addition, we should buy more quail breeders to avoid inbreeding.

Seeing Wang Shufen come out, Lu Fangfang asked:

"Sister Shufen, what do you think about us trying to build a chicken coop at our next farm?"

"Raising chickens? I think it's better to try raising some chickens once our sheds are full of quails, which can produce at least 200 catties of quail eggs every day. That'll be enough for the whole group to eat."

Wang Shufen strongly agreed.

I used to raise quails because these little creatures lay eggs for a short period of time and produce a high yield.

Now that we have quail eggs available every day, it's time to try raising some other things.

Wang Meijun stood aside without saying anything, but she also agreed in her heart that it was good to raise some chickens.

"However, we will need to feed them more grains then, as grass seeds alone will not be enough. A lot of grain will be consumed over the winter."

Lu Fangfang took the notebook and did some calculations.

The feed conversion ratio for chickens and quails is about the same; about three pounds of feed can produce one pound of eggs, which is quite cost-effective.

As the group was chatting, they heard the gate outside the courtyard being pushed open.

Looking outside, I saw Gao Dajiang had arrived.

Lu Fangfang, holding onto the table, stood up curiously. "Commander, what brings you here?"

Little did she know that the troupe was very busy right now. Zhuang Mingcheng didn't come back until dark every day, and Gao Dajiang, as the troupe leader, was definitely extremely busy as well.

"Xiao Lu, sit down, sit down. You're heavily pregnant, don't worry about me, I just came to check on you."

Gao Dajiang waved his hand and quickly gestured for Xiao Lu to sit down.

"Commander, I'm fine."

"Oh, right, that's exactly what I wanted to report to you."

Lu Fangfang picked up her notebook, talked about raising chickens, and calculated the costs and expenses involved.

As long as the amount of feed consumed is proportional to the egg production, she feels there's something worth doing.

Now, in the county's non-staple food market, you need egg coupons to buy eggs, which shows how scarce eggs are; there's no worry about selling them at all.

However, this requires the support of the troupe; otherwise, their breeding farm can only raise one shed of quails, which is already the limit, and there will be no feed to feed any more.
