Chapter 125

Unfortunately, the male snow leopard seemed to have been frightened away and didn't return to the pasture for more than ten days.

The male snow leopard didn't come, but a call came from the leaders of the Sanjiangyuan National Park.

The leader started with small talk. "Teacher Shi, the fee for your help last time has been transferred to your account. Have you received it?"

Shi Wen Wenxiao said, "The money just arrived. I was just about to call and let you know, but you called first. Thank you!"

Leader: "You're too kind. By the way, I heard you have a little snow leopard?"

Shi Wen exclaimed in surprise, "How do you guys get such good information?"

The leader smiled and said, "Snow leopards are rare indeed. I heard that you're entrusting the snow leopard cub to your care, and that once it's grown up, you'll provide it with rewilding training before releasing it back into the wild?"

Shi Wen that the other party had something to say, so he readily admitted, "Yes, do you have any suggestions?"

"No, no, no, you and Professor Yan are experts in this field, so we won't presume to teach you," the leader said with a smile. "Actually, we mainly wanted to ask if, after the snow leopard cub has completed its rewilding, it could be sent to our area?"

Shi Wen, "Did you decide to have a snow leopard cub so early?"

"As you know, we lack large carnivores here, and we even caused such a big problem with wild goats," the leader said apologetically. "If we could introduce suitable large carnivores, we would definitely try our best. If you agree, we will then negotiate with the relevant leaders."

Sending a snow leopard cub to a national park after it grows up is indeed a good option.

Shi Wen readily agreed, "As long as the leader has no objections, I have no problem with it."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they hung up the phone.

Shi Wen squatted down, watching the little snow leopard drinking milk from its bowl, and tapped its forehead. "I didn't expect you to have such a good position at such a young age. Drink well and grow well."

The little snow leopard looked up, stuck out its pink tongue, and licked its lips. "Meow!"

Chapter 125

The little snow leopard settled down at Shi Wen's house.

This little guy's appetite is growing every day; at such a young age, his appetite is almost catching up with Cong Zai's.

Shi Wen touch its belly, you can almost feel the goat's milk sloshing around inside through the thin skin.

Perhaps because it was weak when it was born and was abandoned by its mother snow leopard, it felt very insecure and would try to eat everything it could, often stuffing itself until it was whimpering.

Shi Wen sat by the door, picked up the little snow leopard, and petted it on his lap.

The little snow leopard was very well-behaved after eating; it didn't resist being petted at all, and even made purring sounds in its throat, just like a cat.

Shi Wen rubbing their bellies, pinching their paws, and occasionally pinching their ears.

The little snow leopard's round little ears would twitch slightly at this time, trying to avoid his hand.

He chuckled as he played with the little snow leopard's ears, unaware that his own ears were also twitching.

As Yan Kexing by, he stretched out his long, slender fingers and gently pinched his ear.

He looked up and asked, "Hmm?"

Yan Kexing's voice held a hint of laughter. "Feels good."

Shi Wen, still holding the snow leopard cub's front paws with both hands, turned her ears back and slipped out of Yan Kexing's grasp. "It itches."

Yan Kexing smiled, picked up another chair, and sat with him at the kitchen doorway, doing nothing but spacing out.

As the sun sets, the little ones in the family stand in front of their respective food bowls, eating their dinner attentively.

Judging from their level of focus, they must have really enjoyed their dinner tonight.

The two sat by the door, and just looking at them was enough to feel a sense of healing.

Shi Wen, "If only the male snow leopard were here, we could treat it to a good meal."

Yan Kexing: "It probably just wanted to bring the snow leopard cub over, and didn't have any other intentions."

"Possibly." Shi Wen a little guilty. "I shouldn't have gone to find it so aggressively; it might have been scared away."

Although the other party was just a snow leopard, Shi Wen still felt bad for misunderstanding it.

Especially since the snow leopard might never come again, he has little chance to make amends.

Shi Wen sighed with a hint of melancholy.

He didn't notice that Cong Zai, who was engrossed in eating beef with egg yolk, turned around and glanced at him.

Yan Kexing was playing with the drowsy snow leopard cub and didn't notice anything amiss.

The next day, Shi Wen that someone had brought a combine harvester to his house to harvest the beans.

His soybeans had been ripe for some time, but he didn't harvest them. Instead, he let them dry out in the field. Now, if you go over to the back of the house, you can see a large patch of withered, yellow soybeans.

The pods are now dry, but not completely dry enough to be harvested.

If the pods have too high a moisture content, the beans inside will be too soft and will break easily when the harvester hits them at high speed.

Too dry is also not good, otherwise the pods will burst open and the beans inside will be ejected.

That way, when the harvester touches it, the beans will clatter and fall everywhere.

The current moisture content is just right. When using a harvester, the pods won't burst open, and the beans are strong and firm enough to withstand some crushing, preventing them from being broken during harvesting.

The machine for harvesting beans is the same machine for harvesting wheat, but it needs some adjustments; the workers in town are all very skilled at it.

Upon Shi Wen this, the driver knew exactly what to do and told him not to worry, just to prepare a tricycle or pickup truck to carry the beans.

In the morning, the driver brought the harvester over.

The machine operator was an old acquaintance of theirs; they had dealt with each other several times and were quite familiar with each other.

Upon seeing their beans, the foreman exclaimed, "You've grown excellent beans this year! The pods are so plump; it's sure to be a bumper harvest!"

Shi Wen's family were indeed quite good, and it wouldn't be appropriate to be too modest, he smiled and said, "They're alright, at least we won't lose money."

The craftsman clicked his tongue in admiration, "If your beans can lose money, then no one in the entire county can make money from beans."
