Chapter 94

Yan Kexing also came out to greet him, "Why did you buy a baby camel?"

Shi Wen recounted the whole story. "Everyone says camel milk tastes good, and since it was a female camel, I bought it. We should be able to feed it."

Yan Kexing patted the camel's little head. "You still felt compassion after all."

Shi Wen smiled and said, "If we can save them, we should."

This little camel was indeed quite weak, Shi Wen out and milked it fresh to feed it.

The baby camel seemed to have been hungry for a while; it was nursing very vigorously.

It's good that it can still eat. Shi Wen stroked the little camel's thin back and thought about looking up some information when he got back to see how to raise this camel.

The baby camel was just a little weak, but had no other major health problems.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing turns feeding him every three hours, and they don't find it troublesome at all.

They managed to feed the baby pigeons last year, but the baby camels are much easier to feed than the baby pigeons and easier to take care of than the horses.

Horses often need massages and feeding, and they have a bad temper, frequently snorting and spitting at people, making them even more tiring to care for.

However, this guy is recovering well. Shi Wen see that his bones are gradually healing, and now he doesn't need to be tied up so tightly anymore. However, he still needs to be kept in the barn and cannot be let out to run around.

It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone or tendon; you have to wait until it's fully healed before you can easily cause further damage.

That day, Shi Wen was brushing the horse when He Chengzhang contacted him, saying that the wool testing results were in.

He Chengzhang sent the appraisal report to Shi Wen for review.

The wool of Shi Wen's fat-tailed sheep is mainly divided into three grades: semi-fine wool with a fiber diameter of less than 20.5 micrometers, fine wool with a fiber diameter of less than 19.5 micrometers, and superfine wool with a fiber diameter of less than 18.5 micrometers.

The semi-fine wool comes from the sheep purchased from Red Blossom Ranch.

The fine wool is from a sheep I bought last year.

Superfine wool is the wool from second-generation sheep.

Superfine wool is extremely soft and doesn't itch at all; it's considered top-grade wool internationally.

Fine wool is alright, but semi-fine wool is quite noticeable. When wearing wool clothing of this grade, you can't wear it directly against your skin, as it will feel itchy.

The coarser the wool, the more itchy it is. Shi Wen's wool is generally of good quality. He Chengzhang gave three prices: 3,000 yuan per kilogram, 2,200 yuan per kilogram, and 1,600 yuan per kilogram.

There was no objection from Shi Wen.

He Chengzhang arranged for people to come and shear the sheep.

They only wanted the wool from the sheep's back and sides, as these fibers were long and of good quality. The wool from the rump, legs, belly, and neck was shorter and coarser, so they didn't take it.

After shearing like this, the wool from a sheep is only a few ounces.

It's normal for big clients to be picky, Shi Wen readily watched them weigh the items and ultimately made over three million yuan from these deals.

The sheep that had been sheared by He Chengzhang's men had wool that looked like it had been chewed by dogs. Shi Wen confirmed that they didn't need the remaining wool, so he asked Zhang Deyuan to contact another high-end client.

The quality of their wool is excellent. Even though it has been sheared by a large company, the remaining wool is only a little over 300 yuan per kilogram, which is a great deal.

The major client was satisfied after seeing it and bought the entire contract.

Shi Wen hurriedly invited Old Man Ma and Fu Meng to come and shear the sheep.

A group of people worked tirelessly for several days before finally selling the remaining wool.

These profits brought Shi Wen an additional two million yuan, bringing his total earnings to over six million yuan, in addition to the previous three million yuan.

He paid over a million in taxes alone.

Shi Wen at the numbers in the account, Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing, "I feel like the entire ranch is truly on the right track; there's no possibility of losses anymore."

"I think so too, it's truly remarkable." Yan Kexing looked at his account. "You're like a protective umbrella."

Shi Wen asked, "What kind of metaphor is that?"

Yan Kexing: "Your existence, whether it's breeding, paying taxes, or rescuing other animals, plays a huge protective role for this land, and as your abilities grow stronger, this protective role becomes more and more apparent."

Shi Wen was a little embarrassed. "Actually, it hasn't come to that yet. I'm just a small-time herdsman."

"You're not young anymore, you're a great herdsman." After a pause, Yan Kexing smiled and put his arm around him. "I'm proud of you."

Chapter 94

In the morning, Yan Kexing preparing dog food to feed Heiwa and Little Tiger Shi Wen yawned and went to check on the livestock.

The robot in my house started working at the set time.

Long-armed robots move around the shed, putting hay from the silo into the feeding trough and cleaning up manure.

Shi Wen the sounds of robots moving around throughout the livestock shed.

He visually assessed that everything seemed fine, then walked to the computer at the entrance of the livestock shed, opened the log, and checked the livestock's condition from the previous night.

Everything looks fine on the computer, except the horse is a bit excited and its heart is beating faster than usual.

Shi Wen to check on the horses.

The horse was indeed not asleep. As soon as it saw Shi Wen, it called out to him in a drawn-out voice, "Hee-hee-hee."

Shi Wen walked over and touched the long, horse-like face. "Why are you so excited?"

The horse's cast had long been removed; only the supporting frame remained.

Now, the horse showed Shi Wen its injured right foreleg, hooked around his right leg. "Hee-hee!"

Shi Wen smiled and said, "I understand, you mean your foot is almost healed?"

The horse snorted and affectionately rubbed its face against Shi Wen's head.

This big guy was hot and smelled strongly of hay. Shi Wen couldn't stand its enthusiasm and quickly moved aside, saying, "I know, don't get excited, let me check it out."

The horse tried to sniff Shi Wen's hair. "Ah!"

Shi Wen, "Well, he's getting so excited he's practically braying like a donkey!"

Shi Wen walked into the stable with a smile, approached the horse from the side and front, and tentatively touched its injured leg. Seeing that it did not resist, he then grabbed its right foreleg, held it between his legs, and examined it carefully.
