[Puzzle] The Clever Gentleman
A certain gentleman offended the landlord and was later persecuted by him. He was locked in a small room. The landlord said, 'If you can eat 100 chickens in a week, I will let you go, otherwise... haha!' So he sent many people to guard the door. Seven days later, when the landlord went in to check, all 100 chickens were indeed gone. How could a frail scholar possibly eat more than ten chickens a day? Even a strong man could at most eat seven or eight in a day. What exactly happened?

Give the 'strong men' guarding the gate some benefits: if there's chicken, everyone eats it. The gatekeepers, who usually can't have it, might as well eat it now; everyone is happy.
...On the first day, chop the whole chicken into pieces, mix it with blood and excrement, and let it rot into white bones! Just a personal wild guess...
This newbie eats seven jin of old hen; five a day is no big deal; three jin of chicks is at least ten! Of course, eating it every day would get boring!
Is this chicken cooked? Not cooked, even a pound a day would be scary... The feathers on this chicken... Does it have feathers? If it's a chick born with feathers, pinch it with your hand to make the meat tender, drink it! Hen... can't pinch it! Don't eat the dead ones, go find the landlord and fight!
By the way, if most of them are hens, don't eat them, just fight desperately! Because there are 'eggs'...
