Shi Wen at the spoon on the snow-white bone china plate, Shi Wen was filled with mixed emotions. "You're too biased towards me."

Yan Kexing said calmly, "If I don't favor you, who will I favor? Eat up."

Earth ear fungus usually only appears after it rains. After the rain, Yan Kexing would take some time to collect earth ear fungus.

Besides stir-frying it, he also fried two cans of earthworms in oil and kept them in the refrigerator. Shi Wen use the fried earthworms to mix with rice or noodles.

The earth ear mushrooms are still in season, and this year's delicious mushrooms and Bachu mushrooms are starting to sprout.

When Yan Kexing out, if it's convenient, he always brings these special and delicious ingredients for Shi Wen.

After a while, Shi Wen had to secretly increase her exercise when Yan Kexing was not at home, lest her abs disappear.

The food has been so good lately that Shi Wen going out on patrol, and instead runs out the door.

It has to be said that as his Divinity and Abilities have improved, his physical abilities have become increasingly formidable. Now, if he were to run outside, even two tiger cubs might not be able to outrun him.

It became much easier for him to take the tiger cub out for special training.

That day, Shi Wen was giving special training to the tiger cubs, and the Wolf King and the others were helping out.

The ranch was filled with the howling of tigers and wolves, creating a particularly noisy scene.

The phone ringing was drowned out by the Shi Wen sounds; it rang several times before he finally heard it.

He checked his call log and saw that the caller was Duan Haoying, the merchant who had bought his rams for 135 yuan per catty.

Shi Wen chatted with Qile Moge bought Dolan Sheep, I learned that Duan Haoying's own restaurant sells lamb for 3,800 yuan a plate.

The huge price difference made Shi Wen feel like he was going to vomit blood, so when he saw Duan Haoying's call, he not only didn't want to answer, but also wanted to blacklist her immediately.

Of course, everyone here is a decent person, and it wouldn't look very nice to actually block someone.

Shi Wen answered the phone, gesturing for the children to be quiet. "Boss Duan, good afternoon, is there anything I can help you with?"

Duan Haoying said with a smile, "Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong? Why are you being so polite today? I'm not used to it."

Shi Wen laughed and said, "I was just worried you might be busy. Are you really not busy?"

"No, it's not that. I wanted to do some business with you today," Duan Haoying asked on the other end of the phone. "Brother Shi, do you sell tomatoes?"

Shi Wen completely bewildered. "No, where did you get this news from?"

Duan Haoying: "A friend told me that your tomatoes are especially delicious, with a particularly rich and fragrant flavor."

Shi Wen, "Is that just a rumor? We don't sell tomatoes; we just grow them for ourselves. I have a lot of livestock here, so I don't have time to grow tomatoes. Besides, tomatoes aren't worth much, so it's not worth making a special trip to sell them."

Duan Haoying, having been rebuffed, chuckled and said, "I thought your family sold tomatoes, and I was just about to ask if you'd be willing to cooperate?"

Shi Wen directly refused. "No, I just want to manage the ranch right now, I don't have the time."

Duan Haoying: "That's a pity. If your family sells tomatoes, I'd definitely be the first to rush over and buy some."

Shi Wen chatted with Duan Haoying for several minutes, and only after Duan Haoying confirmed that his family really didn't sell tomatoes did he reluctantly hang up.

That evening, Shi Wen inquired with Lin Chengqian.

Lin Chengqian raised his hand. "I didn't tell my uncle. Maybe he saw through other channels that we have tomatoes here."

"That's possible," Shi Wen, unsure. "After all, we've given away tomatoes to quite a few people before."

Lin Chengqian nodded repeatedly. "Yes, maybe some people will even post it on WeChat Moments. Some people post about eating something really delicious; I've seen people do that."

Shi Wen pondered it once, then stopped pondering it.

Their tomatoes have been shipped out before, and some scholars are studying them. If it's truly a fantastic variety, it should be promoted in a couple of years.

As for his tomatoes, he should keep them for his own family.

Shi Wen didn't take the matter to heart.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ji said to Shi Wen, "Now that you're more capable and have more and more good things on the ranch, it's normal that people from all walks of life will come to inquire about you."

Shi Wen curiously, "Are we considered relatively famous Abilities now?"

Zhu Ji: "What do you mean by 'relatively famous'? Any Abilities knows Old Yan's name. If they know Old Yan, they know you. But don't worry, with the Abnormal Affairs Bureau backing you up, and with Old Yan around, as long as you don't give in, no one will dare bother you."

Shi Wen accepted the Bureau of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau's kindness. "Thank you then."

"Don't mention it," Zhu Ji said, patting his chest. "Just tell me if you need anything. We're all family, no need to be polite. Do as I say."

Shi Wen's tomatoes are indeed very good.

A few days later, Qile Moge also heard the news and called Shi Wen to say, "I know what happened. A jar of tomato sauce made from your tomatoes ended up in the hands of a top chef in City B. The chef is amazed by your tomato sauce and has been inquiring everywhere. Some well-informed people, like Boss Duan, have already contacted you beforehand."

Shi Wen in bewilderment, "How did you know, considering how far away you are?"

Qile Moge proudly stated, "We have connections."

Shi Wen, "You must have a really wide network of connections."

"We're all just hanging around here," Qile Moge chuckled. "Your reputation is firmly established. Just wait, when it's time to sell cattle and sheep this winter, the prices of yours will definitely skyrocket. Maybe your fat-tailed sheep will even fetch the price of Dolan Sheep."

Shi Wen said, "Then I'll take your good wishes."

Qile Moge: "You're welcome. To be honest, your tomatoes are so famous, I'm curious what they taste like. Why don't you send me some?"

Shi Wen said generously, "What's so difficult about that? Just wait, I'll have it delivered by courier this afternoon, and I'll also throw in two jars of ketchup."

After this experience, Shi Wen has a better understanding of the importance of his own fruits and vegetables.
