Chapter 148 (continued)

When they were putting up barbed wire around his mountain, everyone helped tidy it up.

The mountain is now neat and tidy, with no dead branches or fallen leaves left, so he doesn't need to tidy it up anymore.

That day, after finishing his work on the ranch, Shi Wen put the fertilizer on Shi Suo's back and let it carry the fertilizer up the mountain.

Shi Suo was not used to this and kept looking back at the fertilizer.

Shi Wen gently patted the bag of fertilizer and said to Shi Suo, "Don't be so disgusted. It's already bagged, and it doesn't smell."

Shi Suo angrily said, "Hiss--"

Its rolling of its eyes seemed to say, "I'm such a fine horse, and you're making me carry fertilizer?"

Shi Wen understood its meaning and snorted, "You call yourself a fine horse? I'm a Qilin, and I'm carrying fertilizer too. Let's go, let's go up first, I'll feed you honey water when we get back."

The dogs' constipation is hilarious; Shi Wen now give them honey water every week.

I don't ask for anything else, I just hope the little ones won't be constipated anymore.

If it really comes to the point of having to call a veterinarian for constipated little guys, not only will the little guys feel ashamed, but he, as their caretaker, will also lose face.

Shi Wen Shi Suo, Shi Suo finally slowly followed her up the mountain.

Although he was disgusted, he turned on the shower himself as soon as he got back, wanting to take a shower.

After carrying fertilizer for two days, Shi Wen discovered that Shi Suo was not the best fertilizer carrier; Heniu Laibao was much more convenient for carrying fertilizer.

Laibao was stronger and walked more steadily.

Most importantly, it doesn't care at all about carrying fertilizer on its back. Shi Wen doesn't care what's put on its back. As long as it's given enough concentrated feed after returning, it will cooperate obediently.

So Shi Wen asked Laibao to help carry the fertilizer Shi Suo play.

Besides apple trees, there are also chestnut, walnut, and persimmon trees that were left on the mountain.

Walnuts are out of season now; I only recognize them Shi Wen see round, plump fruits under the tree.

He used a machete to remove the kernel from the walnut and take the walnut out.

I don't know when these walnut trees were planted. The walnuts have thick shells and little kernel, making them quite difficult to crack open.

However, the walnuts are quite fragrant.

The persimmon tree is in its prime right now, but because it hasn't been tended to for so many years, the persimmons it bears are small and astringent.

Shi Wen picked a bagful and put it in the rice jar with the apples to ripen. After a week, it still wouldn't ripen, so he got angry and had to feed it to the sheep and pigs.

Of all the remaining fruit trees on the mountain, the two tall chestnut trees were the most pleasing to Shi Wen.

The chestnuts are ripe now. The fuzzy chestnuts have fallen to the ground. You can simply peel off their spiky shells and take out the sweet chestnuts inside.

Because these chestnuts were freshly picked, almost none of them were bad. They were fragrant and soft when cooked, and tasted delicious.

It's also delicious to grill it after making a slit in it.

I just can't eat too much, Shi Wen worried that eating too much will make me like the dogs, who get constipated.

The total area of the mountain forest, which is more than 10,000 mu, is actually quite large. It would take several days for people to walk across the entire area.

Shi Wen now enjoys going up the mountain when he has nothing to do, hoping to find some treasures there.

He wandered around the mountain for a long time, sometimes returning later than Yan Kexing.

Yan Kexing has nothing to do now, and he actually leaves work earlier.

Another evening, Shi Wen riding horses down the mountain.

Seeing that Yan Kexing had returned, he excitedly jumped off his horse, took a large bag from its back, and ran into the kitchen.

Shi Wen ran into the house, shouting as she changed her shoes, "Yan Kexing, guess what I picked today?"

Only after he shouted did he realize that Gong Jiang and the other two were also there.

But that's alright, everyone is already familiar with each other, and their presence won't affect Shi Wen's performance.

Yan Kexing's voice came from the kitchen. "It's definitely going to be delicious."

"That's right!" Shi Wen said with a smile, "Guess what delicious food it is?"

Yan Kexing came out of the kitchen and saw him carrying a large bag, so he said, "A bag this big definitely doesn't contain any small mountain fruits or insects—"

Shi Wen blinked. "And then?"

Yan Kexing: "It should be mushrooms or something like that this season. If I had to guess, it's probably fungi."

Shi Wen applauded him. "You're amazing! You're incredibly insightful! Yes! It's mushrooms! I found a lot of wood ear mushrooms on a piece of fallen wood today, both dried and fresh. Do you think these are edible?"

Yan Kexing over, opened the bag he was holding, and looked inside. "It's edible. This is local brown fungus, and it tastes good."

Shi Wen, "How about we have this for dinner tonight?"

Yan Kexing: "Okay, I'll soak these dried wood ear mushrooms in water first."

Shi Wen watched him carefully selecting dried wood ear mushrooms and asked, "Aren't these fresh wood ear mushrooms good?"

"It's not entirely impossible, but it's best to avoid it," Yan Kexing explained. "Fresh wood ear mushrooms contain a lot of porphyrin-like photosensitive substances, which can easily trigger photodermatitis. Dried wood ear mushrooms are safer."

Shi Wen, "So that's how it is. I didn't know that before."

They were chatting over there.

The three men, Gong Jiang and his companion, sat on the sofa, eyes downcast and sipping lemon honey water, their expressions serene.

Only their rapidly typing hands betrayed their thoughts.

Lin Chengqian: [So much PDA today!]

Ge Yue: [Who says otherwise? Brother Shi's way of showing off their love is so natural.]

Lin Chengqian: [Sigh, speaking of which, the Brother Shi looks at the teacher with such admiration is truly enviable!]

Ge Yue: [I want one too.]

Lin Chengqian: [Who wouldn't want one? Tell me, when will we find a lover like Brother Shi?]
