Shi Wen knew they were about to call him "Master-in-law" Shi Wen them open their mouths, so he quickly raised his hand to stop them. "Save your breath, don't be so mushy."

Ge Yue flattered, "It's not cheesy. Brother Shi, do we have honey water today?"

"We can't do without you guys, even if someone else is missing." Shi Wen gestured for them to sit down. "Hurry up and rest. I'll go get some honey to make some water."

Yan Kexing: "I'll do it."

The three men from Gong Jiang eagerly replied, "We disciples are here to serve; how could we let you do it?"

Shi Wen them scrambling over it, Shi Wen said, "Let me do it."

Shi Wen went to the refrigerator and got some honey, then picked up a kettle and brought out some lemon slices. "Put it with lemon slices if you want, or with milk tea if you want, but don't put the milk tea with lemon slices, the milk will curdle. Come on, make it yourself. Plain water is fine too."

So everyone poured water, added honey, stirred it, and happily drank it according to their own preferences.

Ge Yue: "This is the taste. This honey water is the water of my dreams."

Yang Yiqing is currently on a diet to maintain her figure and usually doesn't eat desserts, but today she couldn't resist making an exception and drinking her second cup of honey water. "I feel that it tastes best with plain water, which allows you to best taste the complex and delicate aroma of honey."

Gong Jiang expressed his agreement.

Lin Chengqian said, "I think it tastes best with milk tea. Don't add salt, just add honey. The texture is smooth, the flavor is rich, it's absolutely amazing."

Ge Yue asked Shi Wen, "Brother Shi, which one do you like best?"

Shi Wen, holding his cup, calmly said, "I think they each have their own unique characteristics, and they taste good with lemonade too."

I didn't have time to go out and buy lemons today, so he specially ordered them to be delivered to our door.

However, being able to drink such sweet and sour, fragrant lemonade in early spring is a perfect life experience.

Everyone was drinking honey water, and no one really wanted to talk.

Even the dogs outside were savoring their second bowl of honey water, slowly licking it as if afraid it would all be gone once it was finished.

After a while, Lin Chengqian exclaimed, "If honey water is this delicious, how good will it be when the other things from the ranch come out?"

Ge Yue: "Have you forgotten last year's geese?"

Gong Jiang: "Lamb is delicious too."

"And there's cow's milk and goat's milk," Yang Yiqing reminded her. "The cow's milk and goat's milk from the ranch are both quite delicious."

The more they talked about it, the more hungry they became, and finally they pestered Shi Wen to let them have stewed goose for dinner.

Shi Wen thought that everyone had been working hard lately, and after consulting Yan Kexing with her eyes, she agreed.

If they wanted to eat geese, Gong Jiang and the others would catch geese. They were always in charge of the slaughtering and other tasks, Shi Wen Yan Kexing was only responsible for doing the work, and Shi Wen was responsible for assisting Yan Kexing.

They raised their geese for several more months, and they are even bigger than last year. Now each goose weighs about 15 or 16 kilograms.

Gong Jiang and his companions randomly grabbed a male goose, which weighed sixteen pounds and eight ounces.

You can easily squeeze a goose and feel its thick, meaty flesh.

A goose weighing 16.8 jin (approximately 8 kg) wasn't much for the five of them, plus Heiwa and the other little ones; they could finish it in one meal.

When Shi Wen was assisting Yan Kexing, he said, "Should we stew it like last time?"

Yan Kexing: "How would you like to eat it?"

Their family has cooked goose several times, trying all sorts of methods, from stewing to stir-frying, from roasting to grilling.

Shi Wen, then remembered the taste of the braised goose last time, and said while suppressing her drool, "No, the braised goose is quite delicious, especially the braised goose liver, the texture is absolutely amazing. It would be perfect with some honey lemon water later."

Yan Kexing smiled and said, "Then let's use the braising method."

Cooking such a large goose properly, with the heat just right, takes quite a while.

Shi Wen was in the kitchen keeping Yan Kexing. When there was nothing to do, she would take out her phone and play on it.

He posted a picture of himself harvesting honey on his WeChat Moments, and it already had dozens of likes and comments.

Many of them messaged him privately, asking if he sold honey.

He replied to everyone from top to bottom, saying that they wouldn't be selling for the time being; they didn't even have enough to cover their own needs, let alone any extra to sell.

Besides, it wouldn't fetch much money, maybe a thousand or eight hundred at most, so it's better to leave it for Heiwa and the others to enjoy.

When he opened Zhu Ji's WeChat, he found that Zhu Ji had sent him several messages:

This honey looks so tempting!

I want to eat it!

[No, I want to come over and mooch some honey from you.]

[I just happened to have something to tell you. Are you free today?]

Shi Wen checked the news, more than an hour had already passed.

He replied to Zhu Ji: [Come over when you're free. What's up?]

After thinking for a moment, he took another picture of Yan Kexing as he cooked and sent it to him, with a subtle boast that he himself didn't even realize. "[Yan Kexing is braising goose, come and eat.]"

Zhu Ji: [!!!]

Zhu Ji: [Old Yan actually cooked for us one day! His cooking was delicious, but unfortunately he didn't cook often, and we rarely got to eat it.]

Zhu Ji: [Wait for me, I'm coming right now!]

Shi Wen tried to reply to Zhu Ji again, Zhu Ji didn't reply; he was probably driving.

This guy's mind was probably only on Yan Kexing cooking and the fact that he could freeload a meal; he had no time to pay attention to anything else.

After waiting a while and still receiving no reply from Zhu Ji Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing, "I invited Director Zhu over for a meal. He should be here soon. He also said he had something to tell me."

Yan Kexing: "Did he say what it was about?"

"I couldn't get any answers." Shi Wen with a hint of helplessness, "His attention was entirely focused on eating. Let's try asking him later."

Yan Kexing laughed, "Then I'll ask later. Come over and help me taste the saltiness of this goose leg."

Shi Wen, who loved the food tasting part the most, immediately ran over, took the bowl from Yan Kexing, picked up a goose leg and took a bite. After confirming that it was as delicious as ever, he held it to Yan Kexing's mouth so that he could also take a bite. "The saltiness is enough, but it needs a little sugar to enhance the flavor."
