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

Chapter 584 Dream

"Go find some villagers to help and settle these chickens as soon as possible."

Jiang Changye gave an order to Xue Qi and Jiang Weiyu, then turned to Manager Wang and said, "Manager Wang, please come with me."

Not long after, Jiang Changye brought Manager Wang and his group back to his village chief's house. After everyone was seated, he immediately ordered the villagers to serve them wine and dishes.

Having traveled a long and arduous journey, Manager Wang and his group were also hungry. They didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Changye and started eating right away.

Just then, Jiang Changye noticed the young girl in the group and asked Manager Wang curiously, "Manager Wang, why are there women in your caravan?"

The reason Jiang Changye asked this question was not because he looked down on women, but because the business of doing business was really not suitable for women. After all, doing business in this era required traveling around, and women were physically weak, not to mention the fact that they had menstruation...

For the caravan, women were nothing but a burden.

That's why Jiang Changye asked this question when he saw that there were women in Manager Wang's caravan.

He couldn't help but have a dark thought: could this woman be a tool for Manager Wang's caravan to vent their desires, just like the camp prostitutes in the military camps?

"Sect Leader Jiang, you may not know this, but this woman is not from our caravan. We rescued her on the road."

Shopkeeper Wang put down his chopsticks and recounted how he had encountered a young girl who had been abducted in Qingyue County, and how the caravan had rescued her.

"I see."

After listening, Jiang Changye suddenly realized what was going on and said angrily, "The White Lotus Sect is truly inhuman! They dare to forcibly abduct women in broad daylight! It's utterly despicable!"

"Humph!"

After settling the Bloodfeather Chicken and the Crimson Blood Chicken, Xue Qi, who had rushed over, snorted coldly and said, "Brother Jiang did a good job. Those despicable soldiers of the White Lotus Sect should have their heads chopped off!"

After speaking, Xue Qi and Jiang Weiyu sat down together and chatted with Manager Wang while eating, learning about Manager Wang's experiences along the way.

Jiang Changye agreed to Manager Wang's plan to settle the girl in Zhangshan Village and promised to take good care of her.

And so it was settled; the girl named Zhu He would live in Zhangshan Village from then on.

Thus, Manager Wang and his group's mission was successfully completed. They would rest for the night in Zhangshan Village before setting off back to Qingzhou.

"Manager Wang, why not stay a couple more days?"

Jiang Changye tried to persuade him to stay.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Sect Leader Jiang, but it's not necessary!"

Shopkeeper Wang politely declined, saying, "The head of the family is waiting for me to return and report, so I will not stay in the village any longer."

"That's fine!"

Jiang Changye did not insist, but said, "After I return, please give my regards to Prefect Zheng and young friend Chen."

"Of course there is no problem."

The next day, after a night's rest, Manager Wang's caravan set off again, embarking on its journey back to Qingzhou.

Jiang Changye, who was seeing off Manager Wang, gathered all the villagers at the threshing ground.

The villagers, who had been summoned, gathered together and began to discuss the matter animatedly.

"Why did the village chief summon us here?"

"What else could it be? It must be about the chickens from yesterday."

"Oh? Does that mean the village chief is going to give us chicken to eat?"

"Possibly! With so many chickens, maybe one could be given to each person."

"I haven't had chicken in ages! Am I going to have some meat today?"

"..."

The villagers' mouths started drooling even faster when they thought about the plump, blood-feathered chickens they had seen yesterday.

"I'm sure you're all curious about why I summoned you here?"

At this moment, Jiang Changye spoke up, but what he said was clearly different from what the villagers had expected: "When I went to Qingzhou last month, I accidentally obtained a batch of chickens, which are the ones you saw yesterday."

It turned out to be the case.

The villagers suddenly realized that they had been wondering where the village chief had gotten the chickens, and now their doubts were answered.

"I know everyone wants to eat meat, but these chickens are not for eating meat or laying eggs."

"what?"

The villagers were taken aback. In their minds, chickens had only two uses: to lay eggs and to be killed for meat.

Now the village chief says that the chicken is not worth eating and can't lay eggs, so what can the chicken be used for?

We can't just keep them in the village and waste food, can we?

"Village chief, these chickens can't be eaten or lay eggs, so keeping them in the village is just a waste of food."

A young villager asked.

"Of course we won't waste it."

Jiang Changye said with a smile, "The reason I said this chicken is inedible is not because it is truly inedible, but because it can only be eaten by those who practice martial arts!"

After saying that, before the villagers could ask any more questions, Jiang Changye explained, "The batch of chickens delivered yesterday totaled 1100. Among them, 1000 are called Blood Feather Chickens, which can help martial artists of the ninth to eighth rank increase their qi and blood. The remaining 100 are Crimson Blood Chickens, which can help martial artists of the seventh rank increase their qi and blood!"

Wow!

As soon as Jiang Changye finished speaking, an uproar erupted in the audience.

Unlike ordinary people, the villagers of Zhangshan Village have a far greater understanding of martial arts than ordinary people. Therefore, when they heard Jiang Changye say that Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken could help martial artists increase their qi and blood, everyone was extremely shocked!

"Is the village chief telling the truth? Can this chicken really help martial artists increase their qi and blood?"

"Aren't only medicinal herbs able to help martial artists increase their qi and blood?"

"Is there really such a divine rooster in the world?"

"Is this chicken legitimate?"

"..."

The villagers stared wide-eyed at Jiang Changye, finding it hard to believe what he was saying.

In their preconceived notions, only medicinal herbs can help martial artists cultivate and increase their qi and blood, in addition to the rare flesh and blood of demonic beasts.

As for chicken breeds that increase qi and blood... they had never heard of them.

"I know you find it hard to believe, but it is absolutely true."

Jiang Changye said with a confident expression, "These 1100 Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens are the beginning of the growth of Zhangshan Village. With these chickens, the village will never have to worry about a lack of cultivation resources again."

As he spoke, Jiang Changye looked at a young face in the crowd and smiled, "Zhang Tian, ​​your talent for martial arts is not bad, but you have been unable to practice martial arts because of the lack of resources in the village. Now that we have Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken, you can practice martial arts in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the young man named Zhang Tian's face lit up with ecstatic joy: "Great! I can learn martial arts now!"

Zhang Tian is the second most talented martial artist among the younger generation in Zhangshan Village, after Xue Qi and Jiang Weiyu. For young people like Zhang Tian in Zhangshan Village, becoming a martial artist has always been their dream.

However, due to the scarcity of resources in Zhangshan Village, the limited resources can only be used by one or two people with the best talent. Therefore, young people like Zhang Tian can only give up pursuing martial arts and honestly become farmers.
