Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan's father was stunned for a moment, then immediately grabbed Lu Yuan's arm excitedly.
"Great! How many people?"
"Haha! There are two hundred in total! Is that enough?"
"Two hundred? Haha! That's enough, more than enough! Now I don't have to worry about not completing the task!"
He then tried to drag Lu Yuan along to see where the person was.
Lu Yuan shouted something to the back, and then a group of people came running over.
"Dad! I'm leaving these people in your care! You can handle the arrangements yourself!"
Xiao Shan's dad was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! You go ahead and get busy! I promise I'll finish the task ahead of schedule!"
"Okay! Dad, you should also get more rest and not push yourself by working in the fields every day! I'm leaving the person to you!"
"Alright, I got it, you can go ahead and get busy!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then gave some instructions to the two hundred or so people behind him before leaving.
...
The chaos in the United States is far from being resolved easily, especially after everyone became increasingly addicted to the pork provided by Lu Yuan.
At the end of the month, a serious riot finally broke out in the territory of the United States.
The rioters stormed into the command center with guns and took several high-ranking leaders hostage, after which a firefight officially began.
Meanwhile, the troops responsible for other occupied areas also received the news and returned to defend and assist immediately.
The booming sound of cannons rang out continuously, shaking the earth.
The top leaders had not anticipated that things would become so serious, and they eventually compromised, finally resolving the issue of food distribution.
However, the US military has lost the ability to flex its muscles in other regions.
...
On this day, Lu Yuan's camp received some good news.
The cave on the east side has been completely excavated, and the facade reinforcement and inspection work is currently underway.
In order to prevent the cave from collapsing, Lu Yuan took out two tons of meat and ten tons of food stored in his dimensional space and exchanged them for a large amount of steel bars and concrete from other camps.
They managed to find a dozen or so engineering vehicles, each one a gas guzzler, which made Lu Yuan's heart ache.
"Damn it, if I keep using it like this, all the fuel I've stored will definitely run out!"
Watching the cars drive by, Lu Yuan even considered stopping them and having to use manpower.
However, if manpower is used, the food consumption cannot keep up. Currently, the main food for the entire camp consists of potatoes and sweet potatoes, but people cannot sustain eating potatoes and sweet potatoes all the time.
So Lu Yuan found Lu Ma, who was in charge of raising poultry and livestock.
"You brat, you still know how to come see your old mother!" A hint of anger appeared on Lu's mother's face, but she still gently touched Lu Yuan's cheek.
Wow! You've lost weight lately!
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a bit busy. We won't have to worry about it once our pigs, cattle, and sheep are all ready for market!"
"Okay! I'll give you a good boost then! You're the backbone of our camp, you can't have any problems!"
Seeing that a few more gray hairs had appeared in Lu's mother's hair, Lu Yuan felt a pang of heartache.
"Mom, you've been working so hard lately!"
"Hey! What's all this hard work for me? It's just for some pigs, cows, and sheep! It's just that the fodder is a bit insufficient, and there's not enough feed for these piglets. We're also running out of sweet potato and potato peels! Tell the cooks to stop not peeling the potatoes, or I'll run out!"
"Okay! I understand! By the way, take me to see it! It's been so long since I've been here!"
"Okay! I'll show you around!"
With a smile on her face, Lu's mother pulled Lu Yuan toward the direction of the breeding farm.
The entire farm is divided into several sections, including a poultry area and a livestock area. The poultry area mainly raises chickens, ducks, and geese, but there is a pond behind it, so the ducks and geese need to eat some meat occasionally, otherwise they won't grow big. The chickens raised there are common breeds in rural areas, with more than ten varieties. Most of them are fast-growing native chickens, but there are also Sanhuang chickens, guinea fowl, Lufeng chickens, and black-boned chickens, etc. The entire farm is full of colorful chickens, which is quite a sight.
In order to stockpile more meat, chickens grow the fastest, so several hundred are slaughtered every day. However, Lu Yuan knows that this is far from enough. He doesn't have much time left, and he must make these chickens reproduce as quickly and in greater numbers as possible. Therefore, there are more than 10,000 chickens in the chicken farm, mostly hens, which lay eggs very quickly.
In the distance, rows of neat chicken coops were filled with chickens, while more than a dozen workers were putting the hatched chicks in a separate place to prevent them from being pecked to death by the roosters.
As for ducks and geese, their living space is basically occupied by chickens, so they usually float on the water, catching fish and insects and small fish. Occasionally, when they go ashore, they are chased away by flocks of roosters.
"How was it? Not bad, right?" Aunt Lu asked with a proud look on her face.
Lu's mother was born and raised in the countryside, so she had a lot of contact with poultry and livestock from a young age. She was definitely an expert in raising livestock. She could tell at a glance which chickens should be slaughtered and which could be kept to lay eggs or cull eggs.
"Okay! I feel relieved with you here! Mom, you must take care of yourself! Don't overwork yourself!" Lu Yuan looked at the densely packed chickens and suddenly became worried about his mother's health.
