Chapter 139

An Wa even used her dog paws to vigorously paw at Shi Wen's trouser leg, hinting that there were more animals underneath.

Shi quickly grabbed his pants. "There's enough, don't worry, I'll give it to you after it cools down a bit."

An Wa: "Woof!"

Yan Kexing glanced down and said with a smile, "They couldn't resist any longer, let's share some with them."

Shi Wen, "Divide it up! Divide it up now! Go and fetch your bowls!"

The Wolf King howled and, dragging its fluffy tail, was the first to run over and grab the bowl.

The other little ones, not to be outdone, quickly followed suit.

Once they've brought their bowls over, the rest of the barbecue is much easier to divide.

Shi Wen that they give each of the little ones a piece of food; once it's baked, they distribute it to them.

Impatient little ones can eat while the aroma is strong, while more patient ones can enjoy their food slowly while staying in their bowls.

They continued grilling and eating; the freshly grilled potatoes were delicious, soft and tender, with the unique aroma of potatoes.

Ge Yue and his companions really enjoyed the potatoes, and ate quite a few with dipping sauce or chili powder.

Shi Wen that the food on the table was gradually decreasing, rubbed his stomach, and said, "This barbecue was really enjoyable! I hope I can have this kind of unexpected food raining down on me again next time."

Yan Kexing: "A tornado that only happens once in a century. Whether you'll encounter one again depends on fate."

Ge Yue, holding up a potato, said, "Exactly, tornadoes are rare here."

Lin Chengqian expressed a different opinion. " With Brother Shi, anything is possible, right? Brother Shi is so lucky."

As Auspicious Beasts Shi Wen was unusually guilty at this moment. "It's not that good? Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

There were still some dishes left on the table; they had almost finished eating, but the little ones could still eat.

They mostly grilled the remaining food for the little ones, only occasionally letting them have a skewer or two when they were craving it.

Just as they were enjoying their barbecue and chatting, Shi Wen's phone rang.

In this weather, I wonder who would call?

Shi Wen took off his disposable gloves and reached into his pocket for his phone.

The caller ID on the phone indicated that the caller was Zhu Ji.

Shi Wen just chatted with him that morning, and I wondered what he wanted to call. I answered with a smile and asked, "Brother Zhu? What's up?"

Zhu Ji's voice sounded somewhat serious, "Are you home? I need your help with something."

Upon Shi Wen his tone, Shi Wen immediately sat up straight and looked up at Yan Kexing: "You're home, what's the matter?"

Zhu Ji: "We might need to source a batch of Variant Ingredients from your ranch. Do you still have the sheep and pigs you had before? Also, did you soak Ganoderma lucidum in honey?"

Shi Wen stood up and went to her room to make a phone call, "Yes. What happened over there?"

Zhu Ji: "It's hard to say this over the phone. I'm on my way to your ranch, and I'll tell you in person later."

Shi Wen, "Is the situation rather urgent? Should I drive with Yan Kexing to meet you halfway?"

Zhu Ji: "No need for that. I'll have someone come by helicopter; it'll be at your ranch in twenty minutes. You prepare the ingredients first, and I'll take them and leave."

Shi Wen quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go prepare right now."

Yan Kexing walked over from behind and asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know either," Shi Wen said, turning around somewhat blankly. "Brother Zhu said he's on his way by helicopter to pick up our Variant Ingredients and honey-soaked Ganoderma lucidum."

Chapter 139

The helicopter quickly landed on Shi Wen's ranch.

The loud wind and the commotion of the propellers attracted Shi Wen and the little ones.

It was the first time the little ones had ever seen a helicopter, and they all looked up at it in unison.

Zhu Ji jumped out of the helicopter, and before he could say anything, Shi Wen, who was standing in front of the helicopter, silently handed him a woven bag.

Shi Wen, "Brother Zhu, the honey-soaked Ganoderma lucidum and the pork from the sheep and pig you ordered are inside. The sheep and pig pork consists of a section of spare rib and a piece of pork belly. They haven't been thawed yet, they're vacuum-packed. If it's not enough, I'll slaughter another pig and send it to you later."

Zhu Ji was surprised by his thoughtfulness and repeatedly said, "That's enough, that's enough. I'll go and get busy now, and I'll come back to thank you when I'm done."

Shi Wen nodded.

Zhu Ji didn't have time for pleasantries; he grabbed his things, climbed back onto the helicopter, and flew away.

The helicopter came and went, staying on the entire ranch for less than two minutes; its tracks could only be seen through the flattened grass.

Ge Yue looked up at the now calm sky. "Director Zhu, you've really gone all out."

Shi Wen nodded silently.

He hadn't expected Zhu Ji to be able to arrange for a helicopter.

Helicopters aren't something you can just ride if you have money. Air traffic control alone is a major headache for many wealthy and well-connected people.

Don't even mention his connections to the government, which is why he can travel by helicopter.

The background of public institutions is also very complex, with various units checking and balancing each other. It's not so easy for local units like theirs to freely ride helicopters.

After exchanging a few words, everyone went back inside.

There may be many things behind this matter, but none of them are suitable for them to explore. It's best for them to pretend they don't know anything about such things.

They went back to continue grilling, but the peak season had passed, and everyone was a bit listless; even the dogs couldn't eat anymore.

The dogs lay down one or two on the ground, resting their chins on their paws, drowsily keeping them company.

They nearly tripped several times.

Yan Kexing glanced at the weather outside and said to them, "The weather's bad today, everyone should head home early and be careful."

Ge Yue and the other two then prepared to return.

Before leaving, Shi Wen specially packed a bag of roasted meat and a large watermelon for them to take back as a late-night snack.
