AWB Chapter 627 Truly Miraculous
Chapter 627 Truly Miraculous
Of course, He Suo also knew that this was impossible.
The Zheng family believes in making the best use of everyone's talents. He Suo has neither business acumen nor the ability to greet people with a smile, so the Zheng family would never put him in the position of manager of Zheng Bao Lou.
So all he could do was dream about it.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Luo Meng grinned. This time, he brought not only chicken breeds for martial artists, but also yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks for ordinary people, or rather, for the middle-class and above in Dingjun County. These two breeds would definitely bring Zheng Baolou considerable profits.
Sure enough, when Romon brought He Suo to the first floor, many customers were already selecting yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks under the guidance of the waiters.
"Hey buddy, these chickens and ducks look really plump! How much do they cost?"
"These are yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks. The price is 300 coins per yellow-feathered chicken and 350 coins per white-feathered duck."
"Isn't this price a bit too high?"
"Not expensive at all! A gray-feathered chicken sells for over 200 coins in the market in our county. This yellow-feathered chicken is twice as heavy as the gray-feathered chicken, and the meat is even better. How is 300 coins expensive?"
"That makes sense! Okay! Give me two yellow-feathered chickens."
"I'd like a white-feathered duck."
"I want one chicken and one duck!"
"..."
Thanks to the enthusiastic sales pitches of Zheng Baolou's staff, it didn't take long for many customers to take out their wallets and buy yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks.
Upon seeing this, Romon's smile grew even brighter.
Although the profit per yellow-feathered chicken and white-feathered duck is far less than that of blood-feathered chickens, which are aimed at martial artists, each one still yields a profit of 100 to 200 coins. Moreover, the number sold is far greater than that of blood-feathered chickens and red-blooded chickens. In total, although the profit of blood-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks may not be as high as those aimed at martial artists, they can still be a stable source of profit for Zheng Baolou.
"The situation is excellent!"
Luo Meng watched the scene before him with a smile, as if he could already see his future of skyrocketing pay.
At the same time, Zhong Shengfang, who had rushed home, stepped through the gate and shouted, "Wife, come out for a moment."
"coming!"
Zhong Sheng's wife came out and, seeing Zhong Sheng's joyful face, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Brother Sheng, why are you so happy?"
When Zhong Sheng left home in the morning, he looked dejected. How could his expression have changed so drastically in such a short time?
"hey-hey!"
Zhong Sheng chuckled and held up the blood-red chicken in his hand, proudly saying, "Wife, look what this is!"
The wife stared intently at the blood-red chicken in Zhong Sheng's hand, and saw that the chicken's feathers were bright red, which was truly extraordinary.
"Brother Sheng, where did you get this chicken? It's so unusual."
Given Zhong Sheng's wife's experience, she had obviously never seen a red-blooded chicken before; the only chicken breed she recognized was the common grey-feathered chicken.
"This is the Crimson Blood Chicken I mentioned before."
"what?!"
His wife was even more surprised. "Isn't this red-blooded chicken only sold in the county town? How did you manage to buy it, Sheng-ge?"
"Your information is outdated. Nowadays, not only does the county town sell Crimson Blood Chicken, but Zheng Baolou in Dingjun County also sells it!"
"Great!"
His wife's face lit up with surprise: "Brother Sheng, with this Crimson Blood Chicken, will you be able to advance to the seventh rank?"
"uncertain!"
Zhong Sheng replied, "However, I have a feeling that this Crimson Blood Chicken has a high probability of helping me break through to the seventh rank."
Upon hearing this, his wife's eyes lit up. Zhong Sheng was the pillar of the family and her support. For her, the higher Zhong Sheng's strength was, the better. Therefore, she always cared about Zhong Sheng's breakthrough progress. Even though Zhong Sheng spent a lot of the family's money to try to break through, she never complained.
"Brother Sheng, quickly give me the Red Blood Chicken, I'll cook it for you."
The wife reached out to take the red-blooded chicken.
Zhong Sheng pulled the Crimson Blood Chicken back a bit and waved his hand, saying, "This Crimson Blood Chicken isn't meant to be cooked and eaten. You have to bleed it first, drink the blood, and then cook the meat before eating it. Only in this way can you bring out the maximum effect of the Crimson Blood Chicken."
After saying that, Zhong Sheng continued, "I will take care of these red-blooded chickens myself. Wife, do me a favor. I got these three red-blooded chickens on credit from Zheng Baolou. I haven't paid for them yet. Take 450 taels of silver from home and give it to Manager Luo of Zheng Baolou."
450 taels?
A look of pain flashed across his wife's face. The family's savings amounted to only 500 taels of silver, and this sudden expenditure of 450 taels of silver inevitably caused her some heartache.
However, she also knew that the Crimson Blood Chicken was related to her man's breakthrough, so she did not refuse.
"Okay, I'll go right now."
After nodding in agreement, his wife went back into the inner room to get the silver, and then went out.
After his wife left, Zhong Sheng went to the kitchen and cut the throat of a bloody chicken to bleed it out.
"Giggle."
A loud crowing rang out, and a blood-red chicken died instantly.
Zhong Sheng looked at the thick chicken blood in the bowl, which had no fishy smell at all, and felt somewhat resistant.
Having grown accustomed to cooked food, he instinctively resisted raw food.
However, thinking of the bottleneck that had been hindering him for so long, Zhong Sheng finally suppressed his discomfort, tilted his head back, and drank the chicken blood in the bowl in one gulp!
As soon as the chicken blood entered his stomach, Zhong Sheng began to feel it.
A surge of heat arose in his stomach, and then, with the flow of blood, it spread throughout his body, causing Zhong Sheng to feel hot all over.
"effective!"
Zhong Sheng, his body burning with heat and his eyes sparkling, quickly arrived at his own courtyard, assuming a fierce and untamed stance.
As Zhong Sheng unleashed his "Bull-like Strength," the heat within his body intensified, and his skin turned red—an outward manifestation of his boiling blood and qi.
"I can feel it! I can feel the bottleneck loosening!"
Zhong Sheng's eyes became even more excited. He had a premonition that he might break through to the seventh rank today!
Sure enough, half an hour later, with a loud roar from the bell, the veins on his skin bulged, and a large amount of white steam rose from his skin pores, like water vapor.
"call!"
Zhong Sheng exhaled a breath of stale air, felt his own condition, and grinned broadly.
"Hahaha! I did it! I really did it! I've successfully broken through to the seventh rank!"
Zhong Sheng's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the courtyard. The moment the bottleneck that had trapped him for five years was broken, he felt as refreshed as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit!
"Five years! Five years! I've finally advanced to the seventh rank! Hahahaha!"
Zhong Sheng felt his blood and energy increase significantly, and he was extremely excited!
His grandfather, his father, and himself all had the greatest dream of being promoted to the seventh rank, and now he has finally realized the dream of three generations.
"This Crimson Blood Chicken is truly miraculous!"
Zhong Sheng looked towards the kitchen. Just a bowl of blood from the Crimson Blood Chicken had allowed him to break through the bottleneck that had bound him for five years. The effects of the Crimson Blood Chicken were indeed as miraculous as the rumors suggested!
