Chapter 148
Fried Chicken
And so it was decided that a chicken house would be built in Ashtaroth town.
This would be more difficult than a cow house or pig farm. Because the one I was trying to make would be in the broiler style.
You could have many chickens at once and keep feeding them in order to fatten them up.
Jeanne declared that it was like Foie Gras, and it was indeed similar.
My strategy was to feed them great quantities of highly nutritious food so that they were well fattened by the time they were shipped off. The roosters and hens would be separated, and the hens would lay lots of eggs.
I even wanted a contraption so that the eggs would roll away and gather together after they are laid. That way, we could save money by hiring fewer laborers, and the meat and eggs could be sold for cheaper.
While my demands might have sounded outrageous, it was not too difficult for the dwarven craftsmen. And they told me that it could be done if I prepared for them a material that would absorb the shock when the eggs fell. They were very reliable. And so I took the shock absorbing material out of the klein bottle and handed it over to Gottlieb.
After that, he drew up the blueprint and left the construction to his apprentices. It did not even take a month for it to be completed. The land had already been bought in advance, and the foundation laid.
