[You know how to enjoy life, Linzi. Is this even possible?]

This should be delicious; the chive blossom sauce helps cut through the richness.

Speaking of refreshing, I think it's also good with rice.

[Just cook a pot of fine Northeastern rice, add some lard, scoop a spoonful of chive blossom sauce, mix it all together, the white rice and green chive blossoms are visually appealing enough. Then take a bite, and you'll experience the richness of the lard, the pungent aroma of the chive blossoms, the subtle sweetness of the rice, and all sorts of indescribable subtle flavors...]

[I'm not saying anything more, I'm going to go eat another pot of rice.]

Don't make me jealous, are you the only one who didn't get any?

[I didn't buy any either, I'll go get a membership later.]

[Does becoming a member come with a gift? I heard their eggs are amazing, especially their onsen tamago (soft-boiled eggs), the yolks are so rich and creamy?]

[I haven't tried eating it this way before; I'll go buy two more trays later.]

These past few days, there have been a lot of people signing up for Shi Wen membership.

Most of them are from J Province and City B, with a small number from nearby cities. With the addition of new members and existing members, the number of members in Shi Wen Family has skyrocketed to 364, which is ten times the previous number.

Shi Wen looked at the backstage and muttered, "I never thought that after all that hard work promoting it for so long, and with so many big names recommending it, it would all end up being a bottle of chive blossom sauce that caused such a surge in customers."

Yan Kexing: "The ranch's strength has been there for a long time, it just lacked an opportunity. Now that the opportunity has arrived, the number of people has naturally surged."

Shi Wen people sighing, "Whether it's an opportunity or not, I can't say, but there are so many rich people in our country!"

In just two days, not only did they sell out of chive blossom sauce, but they also sold out of eggs.

This is the first time since Shi Family Ranch's mini-program was launched that all the goods have been sold out.

It seems they need to work harder to develop new products.

Chapter 132

With so many new members joining the ranch, Shi Wen was both happy and a little worried.

That evening, he sat next to Yan Kexing, took out a notebook and scribbled, calculating what to send to the members in September.

Many members will receive their first gift in September, and if it's not impressive enough, it might not look very appealing.

Shi Wen would write down everything on the ranch, then cross it off one by one.

A goose won't do; geese are too big and expensive, not suitable as a monthly gift. Goose eggs, however, would be a good addition.

The pumpkins in the backyard are ripe. They're unusually soft and fragrant, with a unique pumpkin aroma that smells a bit like nuts. We can put them in.

You can also add soybeans grown at home; they're whole grains and healthy.

If you have goose eggs, it's not good to add chicken eggs, because then you'll be missing some meat.

Shi Wen looking at it with a frown.

Yan Kexing slid his chair back, bringing himself and the chair behind him, and glanced at it. "We're missing a key product to promote."

Shi Wen turned to look at his profile. "That's what I thought too. It's a pity I can't think of anything else to give him."

Yan Kexing thought for a moment, "Aren't the sheep and pigs almost fully grown?"

Shi Wen, "It seems so, but it's too big. I was originally planning to kill it during the New Year, otherwise I was afraid we wouldn't be able to finish it."

Yan Kexing's gaze fell on the number of members in the backstage area, and he subtly raised his chin, implying something. "Now you can finish eating."

Shi Wen looked at the notebook and said, "That makes sense."

The next day, the two stood in front of the pigpen looking at the sheep and pigs.

Perhaps because robots were helping to take care of them, the sheep-pigs were not dirty at all, and the pigpen smelled faintly of disinfectant, making the sheep-pigs look particularly pleasing to the eye.

Sheep-pigs are omnivores, and their sheep-pigs have an even better appetite, eating everything.

They nibble on hay, insects, and vegetables, and also eat corn kernels. They spend more than 15 hours a day eating.

Perhaps because they eat a lot, even though Shi Wen not deliberately fattened, they are still quite large.

They are covered in long, reddish-brown curly fur, making them look like a red cloud.

To an unfamiliar person, at first glance they might be mistaken for brown cattle, much shorter in stature.

Yan Kexing asked, "How much do these sheep and pigs weigh?"

Shi Wen checked the data on the app. "When we weighed them last week, they weighed between 420 and 470 pounds, and they've been growing ever since."

It was precisely because the sheep and pigs kept gaining weight that Shi Wen had no intention of slaughtering them.

Theoretically speaking, a pig that big should have been slaughtered long ago.

They bought their sheep and pigs for 31 each, and after raising them for over a year, they still have 31 each – not a single one has been lost.

You really should try it.

You'll only know if you should raise another batch after you've tried it.

Shi Wen at the sheep and pigs in the pigpen, Shi Wen made up his mind. "Then let's make sheep and pigs our main products this month, and slaughter two of them."

Yan Kexing: "We need to call someone over to slaughter him."

"Of course, neither of us has much experience," Shi Wen Shi Wen, pointing to the fence. "I'll ask Brother Fu and the others to help me look for it, and I'll slaughter the pig when I have some free time these next few days."

Yan Kexing: "I'll arrange my time and stay home to help out."

Shi Wen, "Then let's pick a weekend."

The two agreed that Shi Wen would spread the word that they were going to slaughter a pig at home.

There are many people here who slaughter sheep and cattle, but very few who are skilled pig butchers.

Shi Wen around for several days, Shi Wen finally found a butcher in the next city who was willing to come and help slaughter the sheep and pigs.

The actual slaughter day was scheduled for Saturday, Shi Wen.

Friends rushed to help: Baoye A Sai, Qile Moge, Zhang Deyuan's family, Fu Meng's family, Zhu Ji, and Gong Jiang.

Everyone gathered around the main courtyard of the Shi Wen family's house, where Chang Qingqing and Xin Xianghong set up a large pot to boil water, preparing to slaughter a pig.

The dogs had already driven the other livestock to graze, leaving only the two sheep and pigs that Shi Wen had specially kept at home.

The butcher Tang Dahe directed them to take large iron hooks and go into the pigpen to pull the sheep and pigs out.
