Chapter 155

Dipping the radish and goose meat in the sauce makes them even more delicious, giving you the satisfying feeling of eating large chunks of meat.

Cai Yaomin glanced at her daughter, who was usually a bit picky about food, then at her parents who were smiling as they drank their soup. She looked up and met her husband's gaze, and the two of them couldn't help but smile.

The radish and goose meat were indeed delicious, and it was a rare opportunity for the whole family to eat together.

Chapter 155

This year's snow came exceptionally late, but it fell exceptionally heavily.

Everything was fine at noon, but it started snowing in the evening.

The first snowflakes fell with a crackling sound, making the roof and windows tremble.

Shi Wen went outside with an umbrella and picked up a snowball. You could see a small white dot in the center of the crystal-clear snowball.

He grabbed a handful, examined them for a while, then tossed them aside and began inspecting the pasture.

He knew a week ago that it would snow during this period and had made preparations for the blizzard.

However, when it actually started snowing, he couldn't help but worry that the hail might damage the ranch's facilities.

He took a walk around the ranch, while Yan Kexing kept the boiler hot at home.

At times like these sudden drops in temperature, it's essential to raise the pasture temperature to prevent livestock from getting sick.

At this moment, when it's around minus ten degrees Celsius outside, Shi Wen it can reach twenty-five or twenty-six degrees Celsius inside.

The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is too great. Shi Wen walk into the house from outside, my clothes emit a puff of white steam.

Shi Wen took off his coat and said to Yan Kexing, "It's so cold outside, my clothes are freezing."

Yan Kexing pulled him along. "Come over here and warm up by the heater. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Shi Wen sniffed and said, "I want to eat spicy pig's trotters, the kind with green and red peppers on top."

There were ingredients in the refrigerator, Yan Kexing said, "Then I'll bring in a radish later and make a radish salad to cut through the richness."

Shi Wen raised his hand and said, "Can I still have some corn soup?"

Yan Kexing laughed, "Why not? I'll stew some for you later."

Shi Wen, satisfied, pressed his hand against the radiator pipe and said, "This is truly the life I dreamed of when I was a child."

Yan Kexing gently patted him. "You've said that many times."

Shi Wen chuckled, hugged Yan Kexing, and kissed him. "Then I still have something to say."

Yan Kexing stood up and went to the cellar outside to get vegetables, Shi Wen followed to help.

One advantage of using their own boiler is that they have an abundance of hot water.

They used hot water for washing vegetables and cooking, so it wasn't cold at all; in fact, it was so hot that Shi Wen took off their coats and wore only a thin T-shirt.

After dinner, Shi Wen was so full she couldn't move, so she slumped on the sofa and played on her phone.

He checked the weather forecast and saw that there was indeed a cold front today, with the temperature plummeting by seventeen degrees Celsius. The meteorological department had issued a blue cold weather warning.

Shi Wen that last year I had gotten used to the cold here and didn't feel anything was wrong.

Before going to sleep, he would make one last round of inspections in the shed, paying special attention to the pregnant female animals.

The livestock are all fine, and the little ones are all okay too.

The snow leopard cub had already buried its paws under its body and was fast asleep.

The little fox looked up at Shi Wen scratched his trouser leg with its paw, as if to interact with him.

Shi Wen gently pet the little fox and cover it with a wool blanket.

The barn is heated, and with the woolen nests and blankets, the little guys are basically not cold.

Not to mention they also have thick fur that they've changed into specifically for winter.

After Shi Wen each animal to make sure they were alright, I would cover them with blankets, quietly leave the shed, and then close the door.

Their livestock shed is always left unlocked, allowing the little guys to come and go as they please.

The ranch is equipped with surveillance cameras everywhere, and the little ones are vigilant enough that nothing has happened so far.

After inspecting the livestock shed, Shi Wen went to the poultry house.

The Bress chickens and geese here are alright.

The pigeons, however, were rather timid, cooing in their coop, perhaps feeling uneasy because they sensed the approaching blizzard.

They are rather timid creatures by Shi Wen didn't have any particularly good solutions, so he could only check the pigeon coop doors again to make sure they were all closed, lest they fly away quietly.

Shi Wen checked everything, and when he went out, Yan Kexing waiting for him outside the gate with an umbrella.

He darted under the umbrella in a few strides, laughing as he said, "Didn't I tell you to go to sleep first and not wait for me?"

"I can't sleep alone without you." Yan Kexing the umbrella closer to him. "My work is all arranged; I can take a week off starting tomorrow."

Shi Wen, "That's great! You're free here, and the ranch should be fine too, so you can play for a few days. Let's go out and play in the snow in a couple of days after the snow stops. There are mountains this year, so we can try skiing."

Yan Kexing: "Okay. I'll have someone send the equipment over."

Shi Wen said with a smile, "That's a good idea. Are Gong Jiang and the others free? We can invite them over to the ranch to play, roast some Bress chicken or sweet potatoes or something, it should be quite fun."

Shi Wen was planned out, and that night it snowed heavily; it seemed his plans were about to become a reality.

The ewes began to give birth the next day.

Although this period is indeed the due date for the ewes, the fact that they all gave birth at this time has somewhat disrupted Shi Wen's plans.

Fortunately, none of these ewes were giving birth for the first time, and Shi Wen was not a first-time assisted lambing mother either.

Although they were a little unprepared, which caused them to be somewhat flustered, things went relatively smoothly overall.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing had been waiting in the livestock shed since morning.

The ewes have indeed entered the time for childbirth, but they conceived at different times, had different numbers of ewes, and are now giving birth at different times.

There were ewes giving birth in the barn, but not all of them went into labor at the same time.
