When Zheng Qiuyan and her two companions arrived at Chenjia Village, Chen Dao was observing the evolution of the pigs and cattle in the village.
After returning to Chenjia Village, Chen Dao began to carry out a second upgrade of the village's white-skinned pigs, long-haul cattle, and beef cattle.
After several days of feeding with medicinal herbs, the white pigs evolved into Landrace pigs that grow faster and reproduce more efficiently. The draft cattle and meat cattle also evolved into strong cattle with greater strength and endurance, and black and white cattle with a higher meat yield, respectively.
"Let's leave these pigs and cows as they are for now; there's no need to advance them any further!"
Chen Dao made a decision in secret: he did not plan to advance the pigs and cattle any further in the short term. The current breeds correspond to yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks, which are the most suitable breeds for mass breeding and raising. Continuing to advance them would be a loss.
"Brother Dao, the person has been brought!"
At this moment, Chen Cheng arrived with Zheng Qiuyan and others.
Upon seeing that they had been led to the pigsty, Manager Wang frowned. The young lady was of noble birth, and it was somewhat impolite to entertain her in such a place.
However, Zheng Qiuyan didn't care at all; instead, she stared blankly at the piglets in the pigpen.
That plump waist, pert buttocks, snow-white skin, pink nose...
Zheng Qiuyan was mesmerized by what she saw.
Of course, she didn't have any unique hobbies, but rather... she had never seen such a special breed of pig.
The most common pig breed in Xia Kingdom is the black-haired pig. Because there are almost no breeding methods and most pig farmers are reluctant to feed them, black-haired pigs are often very small and rather thin.
In contrast, the Landrace pigs in the pigpen have snow-white skin and a pert back and buttocks, making them clearly exceptional at a glance.
"Young Master Chen, what kind of pig is this?"
Zheng Qiuyan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, it was a wild boar captured from the Cangmang Mountains."
Chen Dao gave a perfunctory reply and started walking towards home.
I believe you!
Zheng Qiuyan rolled her eyes. She didn't believe a single word Chen Dao said.
However, seeing that Chen Dao had already started walking, she couldn't stop and hurriedly followed.
Soon after, Chen Dao led the group back to his home and sat down. After offering each person a glass of water, Chen Dao asked, "Miss Zheng, did you bring the medicinal herbs I need this time?"
"Of course I brought it!"
Zheng Qiuyan nodded slightly. One of the reasons she brought a large caravan this time was to transport the medicinal herbs that Chen Dao had ordered. In addition, the Zheng family also planned to open a shop in Taiping County to facilitate future business dealings with Chenjia Village.
Chen Dao was delighted and quickly arranged for Chen Cheng and Manager Wang to go to the carriage outside to exchange the medicinal herbs.
Then, Chen Dao said to Zheng Qiuyan, "Miss Zheng, how about we deduct the cost of these medicinal herbs from the payment for the Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken?"
The reason for deducting it from the payment is naturally because Chen Dao is out of money!
The claim that Chen Dao has no money sounds absurd, but it is indeed true.
During this period, Chen Dao had to buy medicinal herbs to upgrade his Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken, as well as buy pigs and cattle. In addition, he had to pay the villagers of Chenjia Village and Xiaohe Village their salaries, which caused Chen Dao's savings to be depleted rapidly. At this time, he had less than 200 taels of silver in his possession.
Of course, this is because Chen Dao did not sell a large number of chickens and ducks. The number of chickens and ducks raised in the village has now exceeded 30,000. If Chen Dao wanted to, he could exchange chickens and ducks for tens of thousands of taels of silver at any time.
However, there's no need for that. Scarcity drives up prices, and once breeds like yellow-feathered chickens, blood-feathered chickens, and red-blooded chickens are sold in large quantities, it will be difficult to fetch high prices.
"no problem."
Zheng Qiuyan readily agreed, then her eyes darted around as she said, "Young Master Chen, the Zheng family has already delivered everything you needed. But what about the Blood Feather Chicken and the Crimson Blood Chicken…?"
"Ms. Zheng, please rest assured, I will have someone prepare it immediately, and you will be able to receive the goods this afternoon."
"Then thank you very much, Young Master Chen."
Reassured by Chen Dao's promise, Zheng Qiuyan chatted with Chen Dao for a while before being settled in the village.
"Miss, the accommodations in Chenjia Village are far too simple!"
Looking at the drafty house, Qingying couldn't help but feel a little resentful. It wasn't that she disliked the poor living conditions, but rather that she was worried that Zheng Qiuyan would be unhappy.
Born into the Zheng family, Zheng Qiuyan had always lived a life of luxury and luxury since childhood. She had never lived in such a simple wooden house before.
"fine."
Zheng Qiuyan didn't think anything of it. She knew very well that Chen Dao wasn't targeting her specifically. It was just that Chenjia Village was like this. Zheng Qiuyan had noticed this when she entered the village. Most of the buildings in Chenjia Village were wooden houses like this, and even Chen Dao's house was no exception.
Even the village's owner lives in such a house, what more could she ask for?
Soon, Qingying and Manager Wang began tidying up the room. Fortunately, Zheng Qiuyan's luxurious carriage had brought a lot of bedding and sheets, so the two of them quickly completed the renovation of the bedroom.
"Miss, what are we going to do next?"
After tidying up the house, Qingying asked.
"Let's take a look around the village."
Zheng Qiuyan thought for a moment, then took Qingying out of the house and strolled around Chenjia Village.
Inside Chenjia Village, things were still as busy as ever, with countless villagers carrying out construction work, and new houses, chicken farms, and duck farms were springing up.
Looking at the buildings that were still under construction, Zheng Qiuyan asked Qingying, "Qingying, why are they building so many houses?"
"I don't know."
Qingying shook her head. When she came to Chenjia Village last time, she was a little puzzled as to why so many buildings were built there, but no one answered her question.
