Speaking of this, Zuo Mingdong smiled. "Although the bug disaster brought a big blow to the base, it's also an unexpected harvest."
When Du Yue and He Xing heard this, they nodded in agreement. Xia Ju was a little curious, but she did not ask anything. Zuo Mingdong did not notice the look in her eyes as he continued, "These bugs are rich in protein. They're good for human and chicken consumption. However, they harm food and seeds, causing the crops in the base to fall behind in the past two years. Currently, most of the residents in the base live off bug powder. Only a few people can eat food occasionally."
When Zuo Mingdong said this, Xia Ju could not help but ask, "Didn't you say that there are plenty of eggs? Why don't you eat eggs?"
Zuo Mingdong shook his head helplessly. "There are too many residents in the base. Even if every hen can lay eggs every day, they can't feed so many people. Besides, there aren't as many hens as you think."
