Chapter 131

Yan Kexing opened the lid of the sizzling chicken on the table. "Try the chicken again."

As the lid was removed, a burst of fragrant, hot steam billowed up, forcefully wafting into everyone's noses.

The umami flavor of chicken is unlike any other meat, and everyone couldn't resist reaching for their chopsticks in the sizzling chicken.

The sizzling chicken uses thicker cuts of meat such as chicken wings, chicken breast, and chicken thighs, which are specially marinated after being cut and are now fully infused with flavor.

Shi Wen picked up a piece; the chicken was tender, fresh, and flavorful, bursting with juice when you bit into it.

Most importantly, each piece is a large chunk of chicken, making each bite incredibly satisfying.

Shi Wen happily ate a large piece and was just about to share her thoughts.

Sikewell spoke first, "This chicken—"

As he spoke, he seemed unable to think of a word to describe it, and then he got stuck.

Tang Duohai, with his eyes closed, added, "Plump and delicious."

Sikewell: "Yes, yes, it's that feeling of being both plump and fresh. It's not greasy at all; it's very smooth and tender, not dry or tough. It feels like it can slide right down your throat."

Yan Kexing: "This chicken fattening was quite successful, the meat is quite tender and juicy, and I didn't completely remove all the chicken fat from the outside."

Sikewell, holding the bowl, closed his eyes and savored the taste carefully. "Thank goodness you didn't pick them all! They smell delicious!"

Tang Duohai nodded in agreement. "It smells delicious."

Shi Wen by the rich aroma, Shi Wen couldn't think of anything else to say in praise, so he could only exclaim, "This chicken smells amazing!"

Everyone laughed and grabbed a second, a third, and countless more pieces of chicken, devouring them with gusto.

Chapter 131

Ever since tasting the delicious Bresse chicken, Shi Wen's gaze towards them has become more gentle.

If they had known that Bress chickens would be so successful, they should have raised more at the beginning.

It's not too late now.

Bress chickens can be eaten after five or six months of raising, and even with the fattening time, they won't exceed seven months.

These chickens will be ready to eat in a month.

They can eat as much as they want then, as the ranch can supply it all.

Shi Wen about the wonderful days to come fills me with a passion for striving.

We'll have to wait until later to talk about the chicken; Shi Wen they've started breeding the cows these past couple of days.

They currently have a total of nine cows, all of which are in estrus, and this estrus cycle is suitable for mating.

Unfortunately, his breeding bull wasn't mature enough to mate with the cows, so he had to buy frozen semen from outside.

Once the breeding bulls are fully grown next year, we won't need to rely on external sperm.

However, it's hard to say. Next year, the breeding cows will be mature enough to mate, but I don't know if the bull at home will be up to the task.

All of that will have to wait until next year; the important thing right now is this year's breeding work.

Practice makes perfect, Shi Wen is planning to go back to the previous company. Their frozen semen quality is good, and their specifications are accurate, so he feels more at ease using them.

With last year's experience, the entire breeding cycle Shi Wen very smoothly.

The main reason is that his livestock are in good health. After they become pregnant, he only needs to pay attention to their feed and water; there's not much else he needs to worry about.

After the cow had settled into a stable pregnancy, he even asked Sikewell to come and perform a pregnancy check-up.

This year, cows are all carrying single calves, while sheep are mostly carrying two or three calves.

Compared to last year, they no longer need to use paint to mark the animals; they can simply record their condition in the app based on the ear tags.

Writing things down is much clearer than simply marking them with paint.

Shi Wen plans to breed breeding sheep, and careful records need to be kept from the moment the ewe becomes pregnant.

Generally speaking, farmers prefer to buy ewes that can give birth to twins.

Ewes also exhibit genetic traits related to pregnancy; female ewes can give birth to twins, and female ewes are also likely to give birth, so their pedigrees should be carefully observed.

Fortunately, with the app now available, recording things is much more convenient than before.

Shi Wen tending to the ewes, Shi Wen kept records. For every animal on his ranch, there was basically a file with an ear tag, so he never mixed them up.

At the end of August, the long period of sunny weather turned to rain.

Shi Wen they rushed to harvest the pasture hay and even helped the villagers harvest hay, managing to gather all the hay before the rain.

The rain started in the evening.

The raindrops pattered down, even creating mud puddles in drier areas.

The air also changed, from a warm, dry breeze to a cold, damp one.

Shi Wen that it gets cold here when it rains, I specially wore a sweatshirt, but I couldn't stand the wind, so I went inside and put on a jacket before I felt warm enough.

Yan Kexing watched him walk out of the room, then turned and asked, "Going to the livestock shed? It's almost time to eat. I'll go with you after we finish eating."

Shi Wen sniffed and said, "I'll go check if the little ones are warm enough. I'll be right back."

Yan Kexing: "Alright, go check it out first, and call me if you get too busy."

Shi Wen nodded and walked quickly outside.

Shi Wen go to check on the little ones.

Compared to humans, these little creatures with body hair and thick skin are less afraid of the cold.

Shi Wen touched each of them one by one, and found that the little ones all had relatively high body temperatures, Cong Zai and the little snow leopard, whose body temperatures were warm enough to warm one's hands.

The little snow leopard thought he was cold, and thoughtfully placed his hands under its bottom to warm them. "Meow."

Shi Wen pulled her hand away and petted the little snow leopard. "I'm not cold, thank you, baby."

The little snow leopard looked at Shi Wen with its round eyes, and after judging that he wasn't lying, it opened its mouth and said, "Meow."

Well, another little guy with an accent.

Shi Wen couldn't resist petting the little snow leopard again before closing the window slightly.

After inspecting the livestock sheds and poultry houses, Shi Wen returned to the dining hall for a meal.

It was cold and raining, so they went to bed early.
