It seemed so engrossed in eating that it didn't hear a thing, wasting all the Shi Wen its saliva.

Shi Wen stroked the male tiger's rear end and said, "This guy is such a carefree optimist."

Yan Kexing: "Every tiger has its own personality; that's just how it is."

After feeding the male tiger, the two bid it farewell amidst its reluctance and went down the mountain to return home.

When the two returned home, it was already evening, and the dogs had already returned from grazing.

As soon as they got out of the car, the dogs ran over and barked loudly at them.

Shi Wen sensed something was wrong. "What happened? Why are you all so angry?"

Heiwa shouted loudly, "Woof woof!"

After shouting, Heiwa ran two steps forward, then turned back to look at them, as if he wanted to show them something.

Shi Wen understood. "Is there something on the grassland?"

The dogs all nodded in unison.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing followed the dogs until they reached the edge of the poultry shed.

This time, even without the dogs leading the way, Shi Wen knew what had happened.

There was a huge pile of tiger poop next to the poultry shed.

Flies were buzzing around the tiger's poop.

The Shi Wen of that stinking pile of poop made me dizzy.

Before he could even comment on the pile of poop, the dogs started barking again, leading them to the next spot.

Then, they found a pile of tiger poop.

Then, another lump appeared.

They found a total of eight tiger droppings on the ranch.

No wonder the dogs were so angry.

Shi Wen, watching the angry dogs, muttered, "Even the big cat's poop smells awful!"

The stench of the excrement Shi Wen dizzy and disoriented. He turned to Yan Kexing, "Is the tigress angry and taking revenge on purpose?"

Yan Kexing was uncertain. "Could it be to assert its presence?"

Shi Wen was about to explode. "Isn't making a statement just about pooping once or twice? Why did you poop so much?!"

The big cat must be getting revenge!

Chapter 134

You have to clean up your own cat's poop.

Shi Wen sighed as he shoveled away the foul-smelling excrement, along with the other excrement collected that day, and drove it to the fermentation tank.

His family has three fermentation tanks, which are usually in a state of one fermenting, one in use, and one waiting to be used.

Two fermentation tanks are currently fermenting, and one is in use. Shi Wen that the fermentation tank in use is almost full, so according to the work log, I opened the fermentation tank that was sealed and started fermentation in April to check.

Most of the animals raised on the ranch are herbivores, so their droppings don't smell bad.

The fermentation of feces generates high temperatures, which can reach over 70 degrees Celsius.

After this high-temperature fermentation, the feces have almost no odor, and the bacteria, insect eggs, and other contaminants inside are killed, making the resulting fertilizer relatively safe.

Shi Wen had long wanted to fertilize the ranch, but he had been too busy with other things to find the time. Now that the fertilizer had fermented, he planned to start fertilizing it tomorrow.

After hearing his plan, Yan Kexing asked, "Do you need me to stay home and help?"

Shi Wen, "No need. It's not troublesome to fertilize the farm by driving the fertilizer truck. I'll be done in a week. You wait for me to finish. It's a good opportunity to check every nook and cranny of the ranch."

Yan Kexing then stopped insisting.

The next morning, Shi Wen checking on the livestock, Shi Wen let the dogs graze while he drove the fertilizer truck to collect fertilizer for application.

This time, he only used fertilizer from one fermentation tank. Although the fermentation tank was large enough, it was still difficult to fertilize 3,000 acres of land with this batch of fertilizer, so he could only apply a thin layer.

Shi Wen someone driving slowly through the ranch.

His family's ranch is a natural pasture, with all sorts of grasses growing there.

Most of the grass grew close to the ground, while some grasses, like small shrubs, were about knee-high.

Whenever Shi Wen encounters grass like this, he drives his car slightly to the side.

Fortunately, there wasn't much grass like that, so driving wasn't too difficult.

Shi Wen drove slowly all the way to the northernmost part of the ranch.

There are some saxaul trees here, and he had previously inoculated them with cistanche.

Since the car couldn't drive directly there, he had to carry a bucket and a shovel, intending to manually fertilize the saxaul trees.

While fertilizing, he suddenly noticed a piece of rough, yellowish-brown bark protruding from a pile of weeds next to a saxaul tree.

Curious, he walked over, parted the grass, and discovered a large cantaloupe hidden inside!

This cantaloupe is as big as a football, and it looks perfectly ripe.

Shi Wen gently tapped it; the cantaloupe's skin was rough, and the flesh inside was firm.

It should be fruit pulp that has been ripe for a long time but has not yet rotted.

He dug a little further and sure enough, he saw that the cantaloupe vines were completely withered.

With such a large ranch, it's not unusual to occasionally find wild vegetables and fruits.

Shi Wen accepted the melon without hesitation and moved it to the passenger seat.

Since there's one cantaloupe here, won't there be more cantaloupes nearby?

Shi Wen this, Shi Wen walked a little further to the side.

As he walked, he parted the bushes to check, and sure enough, he found eight more cantaloupes.

These cantaloupes vary in size, but they are all fully ripe, with a golden-yellow surface, and you can smell the unique sweet aroma of the fruit if you get close.

Shi Wen they took all those cantaloupes away.

With so many cantaloupes here, we won't have to worry about fruit after dinner today.

Thinking this, he casually took a picture of a cantaloupe and sent it to Yan Kexing, saying that he had found a wild cantaloupe on the ranch and asked him to bring Gong Jiang other two back for dinner.

The two chatted for a few minutes, Shi Wen continued fertilizing.

In the evening, Yan Kexing returned home, followed by Gong Jiang and two others.
