[Host, chickens can eat locusts. Why don't you consider raising chickens? Once the locusts are gone, you can make a lot of chicken-related delicacies.]
Faced with the system's questions, Mengyue had her own considerations.
Although there is a story called "Herds Use Chickens to Control Locusts" in later generations, a powerful herd can eat seventy locusts in one day.
But chickens are free and unrestrained by nature, unlike ducks which always go out in groups. Relatively speaking, ducks are easier to manage.
In addition, there are statistics that show that an adult duck can eat more than 200 locusts a day. What's more, it will also eat the eggs in the soil. Its "ferocious" eating method makes the locusts shiver.
From this perspective, ducks eat nearly three times as many locusts as chickens.
Mengyue wants to raise ducks and also has a duckling.
That means we have locusts and feed ducks, so there is no need to worry too much.
If you think there are no locusts left and you have nothing to feed the ducks, you can catch the locusts in advance, dry them into locust shells, store them, and use them to feed the ducks.
The key is that when the ducks grow up, they lay eggs that can be sold in town, pickled and eaten, or used to hatch ducklings.
Of course, you can’t raise so many at home, so you can sell them or slaughter them for meat.
The most important thing is that she plans to make money in the food-related industry, which can not only boost the village economy and increase the villagers' income, but the money she takes out will also have a legitimate source.
After all, if you store money in the space and take it out casually, it will definitely attract other people's attention.
Thinking the problem through, Mengyue saw the locusts flying towards her. She casually grabbed one, placed it in her palm and looked at it, muttering to herself, "To make delicious food, let's start with you little guys!"
[Host, what are you going to do? Sell locust snacks?]
Mengyue couldn't help but admire the system; the little foodie's intuition was truly remarkable.
She just said to start with locusts and make food to make money. Tuanzi had already guessed that she was selling locusts.
[Yes, I plan to buy locusts, make fried locusts and sell them in town.]
On the one hand, this will help people realize that locusts are edible, and they can also catch locusts in the fields and sell them for extra income. On the other hand, given the number of eggs, the consequences of an outbreak could be extremely dire. While catching locusts, villagers will also experience firsthand the damage they cause, and without much persuasion, everyone will consciously raise ducks.
After listening to the host's explanation, the system understood that what the host did was right.
"But host, if you want all the villagers to raise ducks, where are they going to get the ducklings? From what I've observed, few households in Xinghua Village raise ducks. It's simply unrealistic to expect to get a large number of ducklings in a short period of time. Furthermore, even if we had ducklings, many villagers wouldn't be able to afford them."
[Tuanzi, can you contact the Lord God now? ]
[Not yet, but before I lost contact with the Lord, He gave me some permissions. While the permissions aren't very high, small things should be no problem.]
Unexpectedly, Tuanzi had such a powerful trick up his sleeve, so he got straight to the point and said, "Tuanzi, can you help control the lottery?"
[Ah! Host, what do you want to do? I don't have such authority.]
[Hey, I was hoping Tuanzi could help me, but now it seems I'll just have to rely on myself! After all, relying on fate or the government isn't as reliable as relying on myself.] Mengyue raised her hands to cover her eyes, feigning sadness.
Upon hearing this, the system became anxious and jumped up and shouted, "Host, this system is very reliable. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I will find a way to help you."
