Chapter 156 It’s done
Chen Dao could roughly guess what Chen Da was worried about. He smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll arrange for Erhuang to go with you."
Hearing this, Chen Da was immediately relieved. Da Huang and Er Huang were both dogs equivalent to eighth-rank martial artists, a fact that Chen Dao had told him. With Er Huang's protection, Chen Da felt that his safety and that of the villagers would no longer be a problem.
So Chen Da turned to the villagers and said, "If you folks want to go to town, you can come with me tomorrow morning, but..."
Chen Da glanced at the large number of villagers and frowned, saying, "There are so many of you, there's not enough room in the car!"
The only means of transportation in the village was the village chief's donkey cart, but it was obviously not big enough to seat so many people. In addition... the goods that the villagers bought would also be a big problem, as the donkey cart certainly couldn't hold so many people.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we can walk!"
"I heard it's only a dozen or so miles to the county town, that's a distance I can easily walk!"
"Yes! We have nothing but lots of strength!"
"..."
The villagers weren't worried about the problems Chen Da was concerned about at all. Farmers these days lacked everything, but they had plenty of endurance to endure hardship. It was only a dozen miles from Chenjia Village to the county town, which was no challenge for the villagers at all.
As for how to transport the purchased items back... well, of course, I carried them back by hand and on my shoulders myself.
"to make!"
Seeing the villagers' reaction, Chen nodded: "Then we'll set off tomorrow morning. Those who want to go to the city to buy things should gather at the village entrance early."
"We'll definitely be waiting at the village entrance long ago!"
The villagers quickly dispersed with smiles on their faces. Chen Da also said goodbye to Chen Dao and then went home.
Chen Dao went to the backyard of his house and looked at the chickens and ducks he kept there.
After this period of breeding, the number of chickens and ducks in the backyard has increased, with the number of chickens exceeding 700 and continuing to grow every day.
The number of ducks has also exceeded 100, which means that... the total number of poultry in Chen Dao's home has exceeded 800!
Standing at the back gate, all that could be heard was the continuous clucking of chickens and ducks. If Chen Dao had heard this before his rebirth, he would have found it noisy, but now, he only found it pleasant.
"In another two or three days, the number of chickens and ducks will probably exceed a thousand!"
Chen Dao muttered to himself, his brows furrowing slightly. When the house was being built, he had tried his best to make the backyard as big as possible for Chen Cheng and the others, but he still underestimated the breeding speed of the yellow-feathered chickens. Now, with 800 chickens and ducks in the backyard, it already felt crowded.
"It seems we need to build larger chicken and duck farms as soon as possible!"
Chen Dao murmured, "With the increasing number of chickens and ducks, the need for larger chicken and duck farms that can accommodate even more has become an urgent matter, after all..."
You can't keep chickens and ducks in your backyard forever, otherwise even if your backyard is big, it probably won't be able to accommodate the ever-increasing number of chickens and ducks.

Just as Chen Dao was considering building a larger chicken farm, Chen Sheng appeared at Chen Jiang's home.
"Gou-ge'er, what brings you here?"
Chen Jiang was surprised to see Chen Gou standing outside the door when he opened it. He had just returned from Chen Dao's house with his parents when Chen Gou knocked on his door.
"Brother Jiang, I have something to discuss with you."
"Then come in!"
Chen Gou, led into the house by Chen Jiang, immediately saw Chen Jiang's father, Chen Wang, and mother, Jiang Miao, sitting inside. Clearly, the three of them had been talking inside.
"Why did Brother Gou come here?"
Upon seeing Chen Gou enter, Chen Wang couldn't help but ask in surprise. Chen Gou was still a child, and children are often extremely afraid of adults. Therefore, Chen Gou rarely took the initiative to visit other people's homes.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang."
Chen Gou first greeted the two adults politely, and then said, "I've come here because I have some things I'd like to discuss with you."
"what's up?"
The three of them looked at Chen Gou.
Meeting the gazes of the three men, Chen Gou was inevitably a little reserved, but he still spoke clearly: "I plan to do some business and would like to find your family to partner with."
"Doing business?"
Chen Wang and Jiang Miao exchanged bewildered glances. For these two people who had spent most of their lives farming, doing business was something truly far removed from their lives. Of course, what surprised them even more was…
This story actually came from the mouth of Chen Gou, a boy who was only a teenager.
"Gou-ge'er, what kind of business are you looking to do?"
Although Chen Wang felt it was unreliable, he still asked.
"We'll be doing business within our village."
Speaking of this, Chen Gou perked up and hurriedly took out his family's version of the story and repeated it to Chen Wang and the other two.
After listening, Chen Wang and the other two looked thoughtful. If this business was really as easy to do as Chen Gou said, then it was not impossible to do it!
"Uncle Wang".
Seeing that the three were interested, Chen Gou pressed on, saying, "I talked to Wu Han before. Uncle Chen and Brother Dao's chickens sell very well in the city. As long as we transport them to the city, we won't have to worry about making money. It's a sure-fire business."
Chen Wang and Jiang Miao nodded unconsciously, while Chen Jiang chimed in, "Gou Ge'er is right. The chickens raised by Dao Ge'er and Uncle Chen have no trouble selling in the city."
Chen Jiang, who often accompanied Chen Da and Chen Dao into the city, naturally had more authority to speak on this matter than Chen Gou. He knew very well that what Chen Gou heard from Wu Han was not false.
"That's it..."
After pondering for a while, Chen Wang made a decision: "Then let's give this business a try."
Although Chen Wang was a farmer, he wasn't so stupid as to not take the money right in front of him. So he said to Jiang Miao, "Wife, take out some of the copper coins we have at home. Tomorrow I'll go to town to buy some cloth to make new clothes. As for the two taels of silver, don't touch them yet. Keep them to do business with Gou Ge'er!"
After saying that, Chen Wang looked at Chen Gou and asked, "Brother Gou, how many people do you plan to get together to do this business?"
"The more the merrier!"
Without hesitation, Chen Gou said, "The official road to and from the county town is not safe. If there are fewer people, there may be danger."
Chen Wang nodded appreciatively and said, "Alright! Go and get things done. Just come to our house and let us know when we start this business!"
"it is good!"
Chen Gou didn't stay long. He soon went to the homes of Chen Si, Chen Zhong, and other young men to contact one partner after another.
Chen Gou was busy until evening before he finally came out of the last house!
"It's done!"
As Chen Gou walked along the village path, his eyes shone like stars. After his persuasion, a total of 10 households agreed to partner with him in business. These 10 households all had able-bodied young men who could provide guards for the caravan.
