The aroma rose again throughout the pasture, firmly capturing the olfactory senses of every intelligent creature.

Half an hour later, both people and animals were having their dinner.

Each of them had a bowl of pigeon soup, fully enjoying the fruits of their labor.

Shi Wen highly praised the taste of wild yam, saying, "Wild yam is indeed fragrant, and it has a unique sweetness when you drink it."

Ge Yue held the bowl; the girl's knuckles were quite rough, but her expression was very satisfied. "Right? When I saw the yam that day, I thought it would taste delicious. It really does taste just as I imagined."

Shi Wen, "Don't go back tonight, just stay in the village. You're all too tired today, I'm worried you might drive home while fatigued."

Lin Chengqian: "Okay, I don't want to move at all right now."

The next day, Yan Kexing even made a yam puree with osmanthus honey from the wild yams he had dug up.

This dessert has a sweet and delicate flavor, and if you taste it carefully, you can also taste a hint of milkiness.

Shi Wen ate the whole bowl, which was held in an exquisite stemmed bowl, praising Yan Kexing enthusiastically as she ate.

Yan Kexing's ears turned red from the praise, and he reached out and patted the back of Yan Kexing's neck. "Eat yours."

The little guys could also eat this dessert; both the dogs and the brown cows got a share, even Chasing Clouds was no exception.

The little ones at Shi Wen's family got to know each other and developed a deep bond through various activities.

After this yam-digging operation, Shi Wen clearly felt that Chasing Clouds was gradually integrating into the ranch family.

When Chasing Clouds patrols the ranch, he sometimes flies down to play with the dogs for a while.

According to Shi Wen's observations, its favorite animal is the little fox.

I wonder how these two got along so well?

Once, Chasing Clouds even planned to take the little fox to fly into the sky, but Shi Wen saw it and was startled. He quickly grabbed the two of them and strictly ordered them not to play like that.

If the little fox falls from the sky, it might become a dead fox.

The two little ones were scolded and looked a bit disappointed.

Especially the little fox.

Shi Wen had to ask Heiwa and the others to keep an eye on them and prevent those two from flying like that again.

Shi Wen also picked up a lot of yam tubers.

Potato seeds are the seeds of the yam plant. They are about the size of an egg or an apple and look like small potatoes.

These yams must have hatched last year; some of them have already sprouted roots and are covered in fuzz.

There are many yams on the mountain. Shi Wen picked some up Shi Wen digging for yams, planning to plant them on his own mountain.

I just don't know if these yams can survive the harsh winter. If they do, they might bear fruit next year. If they don't, oh well, it was just something I did on the side, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

When Shi Wen about planting yams, grapevines were also delivered.

Gong Jiang's friend was very reliable and generous, sending them over two hundred plants in one go.

Shi Wen didn't expect there to be so many, but it doesn't hurt to have a variety, since we don't know what the survival rate will be.

He carried the grapevines up the mountain, and after burying base fertilizer, he planted them all.

This is the perfect season for planting; the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, and there's plenty of rain. Theoretically, the grapevines should sprout quickly and grow new leaves rapidly.

If all goes well, they'll have grapes to eat on their ranch next year.

It's too late this year; if they can grow even a few more leaves, that will be a victory.

These two mountains on the ranch are great; they're good for growing anything.

The fruit trees they planted last year are growing very well.

The entire mountain is now filled with the fragrance of all kinds of flowers, including fruit tree blossoms, shrub blossoms, and wild tree blossoms.

Shi Wen walk among the flowers, you can see their bees buzzing and dancing among them, collecting nectar and pollen.

There were more nectar-producing plants on the mountain than he had imagined. He had originally planned to move four boxes of bees up the mountain, but seeing this, he simply moved ten boxes up instead.

Swarming is a technically demanding task, and although Shi Wen some experience, I still lack confidence.

There are just too many bees to distribute this year; it's easy to mess things up if you're not careful.

Shi Wen wasn't very confident, so he simply called Reheman again to invite him to come and help.

As in previous years, Reheman agreed immediately, still offering 400 yuan a day.

Reheman only visited their ranch once last year when he was helping to distribute the bees, and he hasn't been back for over a year now.

The old man drove his tricycle to the edge of the ranch, and before he had even parked, Shi Wen, "Your ranch has changed so much!"

Shi Wen stepped forward and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The old man's aged eyes looked around, his gaze falling on the lush green grass, the neat wire fence, and the various animals scattered across the pasture. "It's huge. Other people's pastures have changed more in their entire lives than yours."

Shi Wen turned to look at his own ranch.

The ranch has indeed done a good job after two years of development.

Shi Wen exchanging a few pleasantries with the old man, Shi Wen got down to business. "We're going to distribute the bees to the mountains this time. I've already bred the queen bees, but some of them were previously candidates. I'm not sure if they're up to standard. Could you take a look?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem; queen bees from the same batch are all pretty similar," Reheman, walking on their ranch in rubber boots. "We'll know once we go over and take a look."

Shi Wen quickly said, "Go have some tea first. You've come all this way; it must be tiring for you."

Reheman: "What's the big deal? We can have tea after we finish our work. Let me see how your bees are doing this year?"

Reheman resolutely refused to drink tea, Shi Wen had no choice but to take him to see the bees.

Shi Wen there are so many beehives at home, and some of them are near the hive where the bees are Chasing Clouds.
