Chapter 343 Excited Villagers
What surprised Wu Han even more was that the cabbages in Chenjia Village matured very quickly. The cabbage varieties in Xia Kingdom have a relatively long maturation period. Even with careful tending by farmers, it would take at least 55 to 60 days to mature.
However, the cabbages in Chenjia Village mature in about 40 days. What does this mean?
This means that the cabbages from Chenjia Village can seize the initiative!
After a winter's end, people who haven't seen green vegetables on their tables for so long are bound to crave them, which means...
As long as Wu Han can transport this batch of vegetables to the city, he will have no trouble selling them!
Looking at the lush green cabbages in the field, Chen Dao smiled. He hadn't eaten vegetables in a long time, and seeing these green cabbages made his mouth water.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
Just then, Da Huang and Xiao Huang came running over, rubbing their heads against Chen Dao's pants like pet dogs, expressing their love for their owner.
Chen Dao bent down and stroked the heads of Da Huang and Er Huang, while at the same time, Da Huang and Er Huang's advanced information appeared in his eyes.

After being fed cedar seeds for 10 days, Dahuang and Erhuang successfully advanced into Swiftwind Dogs, further enhancing their combat abilities and giving them strength comparable to a fifth-rank martial artist.
In addition, Xiao Yuan, who was perched on Chen Dao's shoulder, has also successfully progressed to the next level.

The little round body didn't change much after successfully advancing; it was still small and had a cute, goofy look. However, if you looked closely, you would notice that the little round's original white fur had turned light blue, and its original brown fur had become darker, making it very beautiful.
Besides Xiaoyuan and Dahuang, Chen Dao's Fire-Patterned Chicken, which was placed in the village to protect it, has also successfully advanced to the next level.
【Azure Feathered Chicken】
[Features: Capable of short-duration flight; formidable combat power, comparable to a fourth-rank martial artist.]
[The first advancement path for the Grey-feathered Chicken: mating with the Grey-billed Chicken will produce the Fire-beaked Chicken.]

【Feathered Chicken Characteristics: Large size, capable of flight, powerful attack, combat strength comparable to a third-grade martial artist.】
Besides the Azure Feather Chicken, Chen Dao also bred several Qi-Gathering Chickens. It's worth mentioning that the Qi-Gathering Chickens follow the same progression path as the Azure Feather Chickens, so details won't be listed here.
"Fire Ganoderma, Fire Fruit, Golden Singing Fruit, three more medicinal herbs I've never heard of before, this is really giving me a headache."
As he pondered these three advanced materials, a look of frustration appeared on Chen Dao's face. He had never heard of any of them, whether it was the Fire Spirit Mushroom, the Fire Fruit, or the Golden Melody Fruit.
Looks like I'll have to ask someone again.
As for who to ask, Chen Dao already had the answer in his mind. The higher the animal's advancement level, the higher the level of medicinal materials required. Previously, it already required medicinal materials used by seventh-grade martial artists. This time, if nothing unexpected happens, it should require medicinal materials used by even higher-grade martial artists.
Among the people Chen Dao knew, the Zheng family was naturally the most knowledgeable about high-grade medicinal herbs.
It's already February, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Zheng family will soon be coming to Chenjia Village again. We can ask them about it then.
As for Manager Wang, who had been staying in Chenjia Village, Chen Dao had already asked him, and he did not know anything about these medicinal herbs.
Chen Dao shook his head, temporarily banishing these thoughts, and looked at the busy women in the fields.
After the women picked the cabbages, they put them into the bamboo baskets they carried with them, and then carried the baskets to the edge of the farmland, where Wu Han and Chen Gou could choose the cabbages.
"This cabbage is so fresh and tender."
Wu Han picked up a cabbage and noticed that its leaves were tightly wrapped and firm, and it also had a faint fragrance.
Although there are some wormholes on it, this does not affect the appearance of this cabbage at all.
"Ming-ge, come here."
Wu Han beckoned to the three Zhang brothers and had them load basket after basket of cabbages he had selected onto his truck. He then approached Chen Dao and asked, "Brother Dao, what's the price of these cabbages..."
Before Wu Han could finish speaking, Chen Dao replied, "I'll give you 20 coins per tree then."
A head of cabbage weighs about three catties, and 20 coins a head is less than seven coins per catty.
Wu Han had no objection to the price and quickly paid. Then, he and the three Zhang brothers drove the truck to the county town without stopping.
Meanwhile, Chen Gou had also selected his cabbages, paid for them, and hurriedly left Chenjia Village for the county town.
After the two left, Chen Dao looked at the village chief Chen He beside him and said with a smile, "Village chief, let's give these remaining cabbages to the villagers. Each household can take one cabbage."
"Then I'll thank Brother Dao on behalf of the villagers."
Chen He became excited, and soon the news spread throughout Chenjia Village through Chen He's mouth. The villagers who heard the news were all overjoyed.
"Great! I haven't eaten anything green all winter, and I'm almost unable to poop!"
"Brother Dao is so good to us. He didn't forget us even when the cabbages were ripe!"
"That's right! If it weren't for Brother Dao, how could we live such a good life!"
"Tonight I'll go to the grocery store to buy a chicken and make a stew of cabbage and chicken for my family."
"I haven't had vegetables in ages, I can finally eat them today!"
"..."
Throughout the winter, the villagers had very few vegetables to eat. Many people suffered from vitamin deficiencies due to the lack of vegetables, resulting in various physical discomforts such as constipation.
