Chapter 168

Sikewell: "I told them I didn't know. How could I possibly know such trade secrets? Then people found your sheep even more mysterious."

Shi Wen, "I had no idea my sheep were so famous."

Zhang Deyuan: "Isn't it said that in the era of self-media, no secret can be kept, and if there's anything good, the whole world knows about it?"

Shi Wen, "That's true."

Zhang Deyuan: "Others have asked me about it, but I know your family doesn't sell lambs, so I haven't bothered you."

Perhaps it's true what Zhang Deyuan said about the era of self-media; Shi Wen a family will have a batch of lambs next spring quickly spread within a small circle.

These past two days, Shi Wen's phone has been ringing all day long, either from phone calls or messages on WeChat.

The people who sought him out all had the same goal—they wanted his lambs.

Unable to bear the constant vibrations, Shi Wen posted an explanation on his WeChat Moments, and then deliberately silenced his phone to avoid the constant vibrations that made him anxious.

When Yan Kexing returned home that evening, he saw that his son looked listless and touched his cheek. "What's wrong?"

He showed the chat history to Yan Kexing: "Two hours, 184 messages, so many red dots on WeChat that I don't even want to click on them anymore."

Yan Kexing took a look and, seeing that it was indeed red, laughed and said, "It's red."

Shi Wen, "Are you saying I've become famous, or is it the phone that's become famous?"

Yan Kexing: "Our sheep have turned red."

Shi Wen blinked and said, "Yang Hong is always getting into trouble."

Chapter 168

It was only mid-spring, Shi Wen the lambs in the family wouldn't be ready for another six months.

Their family first produced another rare item—goose eggs.

Their geese have been laying eggs for a while now, and goose eggs are not particularly unusual.

However, winter is the off-season for geese to lay eggs, so few that Shi Wen can't even sell them outside, so they stay on the pasture for their own consumption.

No one expected that this spring, not only did the grass on the pastures turn green and the water rise, but even the number of goose eggs increased.

It was as if their geese had made a pact; they rarely laid eggs, but one day they all suddenly started laying them at once.

Shi Wen was unaware of this situation. He drove the geese out to graze as usual and went about his business without any worries.

Shi Wen went to town early in the morning to buy rapeseed cakes. He haggled with the people for a long time before finally managing to snag the first batch of fragrant rapeseed cakes of the year at a relatively favorable price.

The shop owner also said that he buys a lot and will ship the goods in batches according to his needs, trying his best to always give him the freshest goods.

Shi Wen was very satisfied with the result; he felt like his bike was carrying the wind when he rode back.

He never imagined that his geese would lay eggs outside.

When he returned, the eggs had already hatched, scattered here and there.

He didn't know if other geese had the habit of laying eggs in the same nest, but his geese certainly didn't.

These goose eggs were piled up haphazardly in the pasture, as if a lot of pebbles had suddenly appeared there.

Shi Wen was stunned Shi Wen saw it.

Shi Wen looked at the goose eggs, silently took a picture, and sent it to Yan Kexing: [Look at our goose eggs.]

Yan Kexing quickly replied: [Why was it born outside?]

Shi Wen: [I don't know either. When I came back, the area was already full of goose eggs. Maybe it's the first batch of eggs this year, and they're not used to them yet.]

Shi Wen: [I guess you'll have to go home early today to collect goose eggs with me.]

Yan Kexing sent me a link: [It looks like there's going to be hail later, we can't wait, we need to pick it up now.]

Shi Wen was completely dumbfounded. He had checked the weather forecast yesterday; wasn't it supposed to rain today? How could there be hail?

He opened the link, and sure enough, it was today's weather forecast, which indicated a high probability of hail later.

Shi Wen, no longer bothering to type and explain slowly to Yan Kexing, immediately called, "What's going on? Is this weather forecast accurate?"

Yan Kexing: "It's pretty accurate. I personally also felt there was hail. I've already taken Gong Jiang and the others home. Can you call for help again and see if you can get anyone?"

Shi Wen, "I should be able to get them. I'll go and announce it in the WeChat group right now."

Yan Kexing: "How large is the area where the goose eggs are laid?"

Shi Wen, "I just took a quick look; the size of the geese's activity range corresponds to the size of their egg-laying area."

Yan Kexing's voice rose slightly at the end. "Then wouldn't they be laying eggs all over the entire ranch?"

Shi Wen: "That's right."

Since things have come to this, we can only hurry up and get to work.

Shi Wen asking in WeChat groups, "Our goose has laid its eggs outside, and it's going to hail soon. Can ten friends come and help collect the eggs?"

This WeChat post immediately received a massive response:

What happened? Why did the goose egg end up outside?

[I'm free, I'll come right away.]

[Oh dear, the weather forecast says the hail is going to be pretty big later, so we need to hurry.]

[I'll go too. I'll drive the sheep home first, then I'll go.]

[How about we send the kids over to help first? I'll tell my son to go first, and I'll come later.]

My daughter Yanran ran over there too.

Shi Wen: [Thank you everyone. I've been quite busy these past few days and haven't had time to keep an eye on the geese. I forgot to collect the eggs, so they probably took the opportunity to lay them on the pasture.]

Shi Wen, "If there hadn't been hail, we would have collected the rubble slowly. The sudden hailing today is a bit of a problem."

People in the group replied one after another:

Is your goose ready to hatch goslings?

[Geese have a habit of laying eggs outdoors; when my family raised geese, we would look for them outside every day.]

Are only geese laying eggs? Have your chickens started laying eggs too?

[Yes, yes, check the chickens quickly. I remember you have a lot of chickens. It's not so outrageous for geese to lay eggs outside, but some chickens really do love laying eggs outside.]
