In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 30 Extremely High Egg Laying Rate

"Golden Feathered Chicken, Blood Feathered Chicken!"

Chen Dao muttered the names of the two chicken breeds, a strong desire welling up in his heart!

The Golden Feathered Chicken is comparable to an eighth-rank martial artist. If I could train one, my safety would be completely guaranteed!

After all, even in the county town, the strongest martial artist is only a seventh-rank. Although the Golden Feather Chicken cannot defeat a seventh-rank martial artist, as long as there are enough of them, they can overwhelm a seventh-rank martial artist.

As for the Bloodfeather Chicken, there's no need to say more!

If the Blood Feather Chicken, which functions no differently from a demonic beast, can be bred and sold to the martial artists in the county town, Chen Dao will immediately make a fortune, and his family's situation will undergo a dramatic change. Eating meat at every meal will probably be a reality soon!

"Unfortunately, I've never even heard of these two advanced materials."

Chen Dao sighed. The Golden Feather Chicken's cultivation level required the Iron Claw Chicken, a breed that Chen Dao had never even heard of, let alone obtained.

As for the Blood Coagulation Fruit needed for the Blood Feather Chicken to advance... the original owner's memories did not include such a thing as the Blood Coagulation Fruit.

"It seems I'll have to ask around next time I go into town."

Chen Dao sighed and was about to leave when he saw Li Ping and He Cuilian carrying wooden buckets out of the kitchen.

"Mom, Aunt, is dinner ready?" Chen Dao stopped and asked.

"it is done!"

Li Ping nodded, then frowned and said, "Dao'er, we've been consuming a lot of food lately!"

Chen Dao had originally planned that hiring someone to help build the house would only require about 10 jin of grain per day.

However, it wasn't until construction began that Li Ping discovered that the amount of grain consumed was far greater than Chen Dao had estimated.

Nowadays, we consume more than 20 jin (10 catties) of food every day, which has caused the rate at which our family's food reserves are being depleted to double.

"It's alright, Mother."

Chen Dao said, "The family has a relatively sufficient amount of food, and we won't run out of it anytime soon."

"But……"

Li Ping was still somewhat worried, saying, "At this rate, we might not have enough food to last until the house is finished."

The grain Chen Dao brought back last time, besides white rice, included 450 jin of sorghum flour and rice bran. At a daily consumption of 20 jin of grain, it was impossible for it to last a month.

Moreover, it's not just Chen Cheng and his four colleagues who need to work that need to consume food; there are also the chickens raised at home.

"I'll be going to the county town with Uncle Chen in a couple of days, and I'll bring back some grain!"

"All right!"

Seeing that Chen Dao was aware of the situation, Li Ping put her worries aside, picked up the wooden bucket, and went to the construction site with Chen Dao.

At the construction site, Chen Cheng and his five companions, along with Chen Da, a total of six people, were sitting under a tree to avoid the cold wind. When they saw Chen Dao and his two companions carrying wooden buckets, their eyes lit up with anticipation.

The few days that Chen Cheng and his two brothers worked at Chen Dao's house were like living in paradise. In the past, they could only eat five or even three-tenths of their usual amount of food each day, but now they could eat until their bellies were round every day. The three brothers wished they could live like this forever.

"It's time to eat!"

At Li Ping's shout, Chen Cheng and the other four immediately stepped forward, took the bowls of rice, and began to gulp down their food.

After finishing eight bowls of porridge, Chen Cheng couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Dao, are we going to start building the house today?"

"Of course!"

Chen Dao nodded. After several days of busy work, the old house had been completely demolished, and even the fence had been removed. Now, all that was left was a flat piece of land, and it was time to build a new house.

"Rice Brother".

Chen Da asked, "How do you plan to build this house?"

Chen Dao pondered for a moment and replied, "The house doesn't need to be too big. Three rooms and a kitchen will suffice, but it needs to have a front yard and a back yard. The back yard must be quite large."

The layout of the three rooms was designed so that Chen Fei, Li Ping, and Chen Dao would each have their own room. As for the front and back yards, they were naturally for the convenience of raising chickens.

Chen Dao knew that he would definitely raise more and more chickens in the future, and the yard for raising chickens would have to be big enough.

"I understand!"

Chen Da nodded and then made arrangements: "Cheng-ge, you are stronger, so come with me to cut down timber. The other three will be responsible for building the house."

"no problem!"

Everyone readily agreed and then got to work.

Chen Da and Chen Cheng were responsible for felling trees, and Chen Cheng was responsible for transporting the trees. The remaining three were responsible for building houses. The construction site was bustling with activity.

As the sun rose higher, many villagers came out of their homes and gathered not far away to watch the excitement.

"Is Daoge'er's family about to start building a house?"

"It's definitely true! The old house has been completely demolished, and now it's time to start building a new one!"

"Dao Ge'er's family is really rich! I've seen the meals they provide for Chen Cheng and the others, and it's sorghum flour for every meal!"

"The three Chen brothers are really rolling in dough! They eat sorghum flour every day, living better than even the richest landlords!"

"It's a pity that Daoge'er's family is already well-off!"

"Where did Brother Dao get so much grain?"

“That rice farmer is capable of finding grain, unlike you, who idle away your days, just waiting to be fed at home.”

"..."

Amidst the envious and admiring gazes of the villagers, Chen Dao returned to the Chen family home, gazing at the six yellow-feathered chickens in the coop and falling into deep thought.

"Ok?"

But at that moment, Chen Dao's gaze sharpened as he noticed an egg under a hen.

Chen Dao quickly reached into the cage, moved the hen aside, and picked up all the eggs, his face showing extreme surprise.

"It's only just evolved into a yellow-feathered chicken, and it's already laid three eggs?"

Chen Dao looked at the three eggs in his hand, overjoyed.

He knew that yellow-feathered chickens were good at laying eggs, but he never expected that they would be so productive, laying three eggs as soon as they completed their evolution!

"Giggle!"

Just then, a hen in the cage started clucking. Chen Dao looked over and saw the hen clucking for a while, and then... a bright yellow egg rolled out from under the hen.

"Good guy!"

Chen Dao was completely stunned!

The frequency with which these yellow-feathered chickens lay eggs is truly extraordinary!

"In less than a day, they have laid four eggs, averaging one egg per hen. If they keep laying eggs like this, we won't have to worry about not having enough eggs at home in the future!"

Chen Dao looked delighted, but instead of putting the four eggs away, he put them back in the chicken coop.

"Since yellow-feathered chickens lay eggs so frequently, do they also hatch relatively quickly?"

As Chen Dao stuffed the eggs back under the hen, he pondered this question while returning to the house to eat the breakfast that Li Ping and He Cuilian had already prepared.
