Chapter 174 Level 7
About half an hour later, the villagers of Xiahe Village left Zhao Kang's house with shocked expressions. While they were shocked, many of them also had a thoughtful look in their eyes.
Some people are thinking of taking some time to visit Chenjia Village to see if it's really as good as Zhao Kang described.
Of course, this is the opinion of villagers who do not have daughters. As for those who have daughters who are ready to be married off... they are already considering contacting matchmakers.
Chenjia Village is so wealthy, and people live such good lives. If my daughter could marry into Chenjia Village... wouldn't she be living a life of luxury, and my family could also benefit from it and receive a valuable dowry?
In short, the villagers of Xiahe Village were extremely curious about Chenjia Village at this moment. Some of them were already planning to go to Chenjia Village tomorrow to ask people they knew about it. If the situation was really as Zhao Kang said, then Chenjia Village... was truly extraordinary.

“Brother Dao, Village Chief.”
In Chenjia Village, just as Chen Dao and his group returned to the village, an elderly man walked in and said, "We've encountered some problems."
Chen Dao looked up at the man and the man's name immediately came to mind: Chen Hou.
Chen Hou was about forty-five years old and could be considered the best carpenter in Chenjia Village. As for why he was called the best carpenter rather than a carpenter...
Because Chen Hou's woodworking skills were all learned through his own trial and error, he was not a professional carpenter. He could only make simple furniture such as tables and chairs. As for more complex woodworking, Chen Hou could not do it.
It was precisely because of Chen Hou's skills that Chen He gave him the title of supervisor, which was equivalent to the title of general manager, when arranging manpower to build the new chicken farm.
What problem did you encounter?
Chen He looked at Chen Hou and asked.
"As per Brother Dao's request, our newly built chicken farm needs to be more robust and secure..."
Chen Hou scratched his head and said, "Moreover, the space needs to be large enough. With our skills, it would be difficult to build a chicken farm like this."
The chicken farm in Chen Dao's backyard was surrounded by a fence made of wooden sticks and bamboo strips. Such a fence was obviously not sturdy and was not suitable for keeping secrets.
Therefore, when building the new chicken farm, Chen Dao gave instructions that the new chicken farm must be completely enclosed and must be sufficiently sturdy.
Chen Dao's request undoubtedly put Chen Hou and the other villagers who were doing the work in a difficult position. They could build chicken farms with fences and walls, but they were completely at a loss when it came to building the kind of completely enclosed chicken farm that Chen Dao had described, where even the roof had to be sealed off.
Upon hearing Chen Hou's answer, Chen Dao frowned and asked, "What is the main problem?"
"We need bricks and tiles."
Chen Hou replied, "Without these two things, we can't build the kind of chicken farm you're talking about, Brother Dao!"
Bricks, tiles...
Chen Dao pondered for a moment and said, "So, you mean we need craftsmen who can make bricks and tiles?"
"Correct!"
"I understand!"
Chen Dao nodded and said, "You guys start by laying the foundation. I'll take care of the craftsmen."
"okay."
Chen Hou left satisfied.
Meanwhile, the villagers who had been working in the fields returned, and many women lined up to receive steamed buns while teasing Chen Cheng.
"Cheng-ge'er, I heard that all three of you brothers are getting married?"
"What do you mean, 'heard'?! Cheng-ge'er has already given the betrothal gifts and is just waiting for the wedding!"
"Three brides are marrying into our village at once, this is a great joy for us!"
"That's right! I heard from my son that the betrothal ceremony today was quite a spectacle! The whole Xiahe Village was in an uproar!"
Wow! Such a big show of force?
"Yes! I heard that Brother Dao even helped with the betrothal gifts. The generous betrothal gifts made the people of Xiahe Village grin from ear to ear!"
"Cheng-ge'er's family is really lucky! They've met such a good person as Dao-ge'er."
"..."
As they talked, the conversation shifted from Chen Cheng to Chen Dao, which relieved Chen Cheng. Being a bit dull, he didn't know how to handle the topic of his marriage and could only give a silly smile whenever others brought it up.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Over the past three days, the villagers of Chenjia Village have continued their work in an orderly manner, tending to their crops and building houses, leading busy and fulfilling lives.
While the villagers were busy, Chen Dao was not idle either. He continued to practice the Tiger-Taming Fist with Chen Cheng every day!
"call!"
In the front yard of Chen Dao's house, Chen Dao, having finished practicing the Tiger-Taming Fist once, exhaled a breath of hot air. His face and skin instantly turned red, and the blood in his body seemed to boil, causing wisps of white mist to continuously spray from the pores of his body. The white mist gathered in the air and was visible to the naked eye in the cold weather!
"Seventh-grade martial artist, achieved!"
A moment later, Chen Dao felt his own power and a smile appeared on his lips.
With the help of a Blood Feather Chicken every day, Chen Dao's Qi and blood increased at an astonishing rate. In just over ten days, he advanced from an eighth-grade martial artist to a seventh-grade martial artist, possessing the strength of a thousand catties!
In addition, Chen Cheng's progress is also remarkable. Three days ago, Chen Cheng had already advanced to the eighth rank of martial artist. Moreover, Chen Cheng is exceptionally talented. As soon as he advanced to the eighth rank, he already possessed a strength of over 800 jin, which is almost comparable to that of a peak eighth-rank martial artist.
"Once you reach the seventh rank, the effects of the Blood Feather Chicken become negligible!"
Chen Dao picked up the remaining blood from the Blood Feathered Chicken and took a sip. After carefully sensing the condition inside his body, he frowned slightly.
When he was still a peak eighth-rank martial artist, he could feel the effects of the Blood Feather Chicken decreasing, and now that he has advanced to the seventh rank, the effects of the Blood Feather Chicken's blood are practically nonexistent.
Clearly, the Blood Feather Chicken is very effective for ninth- and eighth-rank martial artists, but it is of little help to seventh-rank martial artists!
"Luckily, I had prepared the Crimson Blood Chicken in advance!"
Information about the Crimson Blood Chicken flashed through Chen Dao's mind:
【Red-blooded chicken, characteristics: The chicken blood and meat can nourish blood and qi, and the effect is even greater than that of blood-feathered chicken.】
[Red Blood Chicken Advancement Path 1: Mating with Blood Crested Chicken will hatch an Eagle Feather Chicken.]
【Characteristics of the Eagle Feather Chicken: Claws like metal, feathers like an eagle, capable of brief levitation flight, combat strength comparable to a seventh-rank martial artist.】
[Red Blood Chicken Advancement Route Two: Feed it cockscomb flowers for seven consecutive days to advance it to Iron Feather Chicken.]
[Iron Feather Chicken Characteristics: Strong wings, sharp claws, combat strength comparable to a seventh-rank martial artist.]
Several days earlier, Chen Dao had already bred a batch of Crimson Blood Chickens, not only for his own use, but also to pay off his debts!
