Xi Yuxin: "Of course, see you tomorrow then."

Yan Kexing was working nearby Shi Wen hung up the phone and said, "Manager Xi from Red Blossom Ranch called me and asked me to come and select sheep."

"It seems he thinks highly of you." Yan Kexing put the plates in the dishwasher. "He's also using his position to make things convenient for us."

Shi Wen, "Yes. Then I'll bring some local specialties with me when I go tomorrow. Let them know so we can thank them."

Yan Kexing: "I'll fill a basket with it later."

The two of them cleaned up the kitchen waste together; they could take it over to feed the pigs.

Since they started raising so many livestock, they've basically stopped producing kitchen waste. What can be fed to pigs is fed to pigs, and what can't be fed to pigs is composted—everything has its use.

Yan Kexing to work, and the next Shi Wen drove himself to Red Blossom Ranch.

Red Blossom Ranch is basically the same size as last year, and you can see that this long-established ranch is quite vibrant and has done a good job this year.

Shi Wen waited outside the ranch for a while, Xi Yuxin came with his men to pick him up.

Fourteen hundred sheep is a fairly large business for Red Blossom Ranch, and everyone takes it very seriously.

After Shi Wen went inside, they also gave Shi Wen a brief tour of this year's sheep-raising area.

After the tour, Shi Wen began the selection process.

Xi Yuxin said, "We've sold a total of 10,000 sheep this year, all of them castrated lambs. The breeding sheep are over there; you can pick some to take home if you're interested."

Shi Wen his hand. "Forget about breeding sheep, our ranch shouldn't lack them. I'll buy more meat sheep."

Xi Yuxin smiled and said, "Then I'll accompany you to choose at your leisure."

Having raised sheep for so long, Shi Wen's ability to choose sheep has become much better. Before, he would have to look at the teeth and feel the back, but now he can tell whether a sheep is the one he wants just by looking at it.

Because he knew exactly what he was doing, he picked out the sheep very quickly.

Xi Yuxin even suspected that he hadn't actually chosen any sheep, but had simply counted them and pulled out all the ones that looked good to him.

After all 1,400 sheep had been selected, Xi Yuxin called for help to load them onto the truck. He couldn't help but ask Shi Wen, "Mr. Shi, you didn't select any, did you?"

Shi Wen said, "I still picked them out."

Xi Yuxin: "Then how do you pick out sheep so quickly?"

"You'll get used to it quickly once you've practiced." Shi Wen chuckled and casually patted the back of a lamb. "Aren't these lambs I picked out good enough?"

Xi Yuxin looked at the lamb. "It's good, but you picked it way too fast, it's unbelievable."

Shi Wen laughter.

While waiting to load the truck, Xi Yuxin said, "Honestly, after raising sheep here for so many years, I admire no one but you, your sheep-raising skills are truly admirable."

Shi Wen knew he still had something to say, so she smiled and listened patiently.

Xi Yuxin laughed and said, "When your sheep are bred and you want to sell them, could you reserve some for our ranch?"

Shi Wen, "You're going to buy sheep from outside again?"

Xi Yuxin: "Look at what you're saying! Which ranch would complain about having too many high-quality breeding sheep? They're a valuable asset!"

Shi Wen agreed, "Alright, I'll notify your ranch as soon as our sheep are ready for market."

Xi Yuxin extended her hand to shake his. "Then it'll be a pleasure cooperating with you."

The people at Red Blossom Ranch are very experienced, and they have plenty of tools.

Soon, 1,400 lambs were loaded onto five large trucks and were ready to depart for Shi Wen's ranch.

Just as Shi Wen went out to follow the car, another group of people walked towards them.

It's perfectly normal for people to come and go on the large ranch. Shi Wen would Shi Wen just nodded and left.

Unexpectedly, he heard his own name spoken by the newcomer.

As they passed each other, Shi Wen one of them say, "... I originally wanted to buy some from the Shi Family Ranch, but after asking a few middlemen, they all said that the Shi Family Ranch doesn't sell sheep."

Shi Wen heard those words, he couldn't help but glance at the person several times.

The man was probably a businessman who traveled all over the country. As soon as he noticed Shi Wen looking at him, he immediately smiled and took out a cigarette to offer to Shi Wen: "Brother, is there something you need?"

Shi Wen waved his hand. "I don't smoke, thank you. My name is Shi Wen."

"I am Wu Jinliang." Wu Jinliang felt that the Shi Wen familiar. He looked at his face several times, then couldn't help but turn to look at the staff of Red Blossom Ranch. He held his words in his mouth for a long time but couldn't get them out.

Xi Yuxin next to him, suppressed a laugh and said, "The Shi Family Ranch you mentioned is the ranch owned by President Shi."

Wu Jinliang nodded in sudden realization, extending his hand to shake hands with Shi Wen: "Oh, I see, we're really destined to meet!"

Wu Jinliang looked at Xi Yuxin and the others, smiling broadly as he offered them cigarettes, "Could I have a brief chat with Brother Shi?"

Both sides are major clients, Xi Yuxin thought, judging from Shi Wen's meaning.

Shi Wen almost imperceptibly, Xi Yuxin said, "Then you two chat, we'll go make the arrangements first."

After the people from Red Blossom Ranch left, Wu Jinliang said, "I've been asking about your sheep for a long time. I never expected to see you here. It seems even Heaven was moved by my plight and wanted to help me out."

Shi Wen laughed and asked, "Brother Wu, is there something you need?"

Wu Jinliang cut to the chase. "I wanted to buy your lamb. I ate your lamb at an old friend's house in City B before, and wow, I ate four pieces! It's been half a year now, and I still can't forget that taste."

Shi Wen, "That would be our honor."

Wu Jinliang: "Really, I'm not a liar. Your mutton is truly amazing, it's just a pity I'm short on cash, otherwise I'd definitely get a membership and eat your mutton every month."

Laughter Shi Wen.

Wu Jinliang continued, "Your sheep are really good. I've been wanting to come and learn from you for a long time. I'd like to see how you raise your sheep."

Shi Wen, "This really can't be explained in just a few words."
