Chapter 183
Xing Mingyue: "You're welcome. Dedicating oneself to science is the most fulfilling thing. We now have a deeper understanding of the ingredients from your ranch and would like to expand our cooperation further. I expect the leaders will be talking to you in the next couple of days."
Shi Wen: "What kind of in-depth cooperation?"
Xing Mingyue: "Is it like they're entrusting you with targeted training, similar to how they previously fostered various Variant Beasts Bloodline at your house?"
At this point, Xing Mingyue laughed, "I'm mainly in charge of research, not cooperation. They'll probably contact you soon, and you can discuss it with them yourself then."
Shi Wen, "I understand, thank you anyway."
Xing Mingyue: "You're welcome. I hope we can cooperate again next time."
The research results came out quickly. Shi Wen and Yan Kexing reviewed them for two days, then highlighted the key points and wrote an announcement which they posted on their mini-program.
Many of their members are highly educated individuals, and they immediately understood what had happened upon seeing the announcement.
Many people left comments below:
[So that's the reason. I was wondering what the downsides were to mildly nourishing foods. You guys should be careful.]
[You guys are so responsible. Thumbs up. JPG]
[My God, you stopped trading just because of this? How much money are you going to lose?]
[I'm absolutely certain I really like your ingredients. Please send them to me directly; I'll take full responsibility for any consequences.]
[I want some too. Please keep posting! I haven't been able to enjoy my food lately because your ingredients aren't available.]
To be honest, I've lost my appetite.
[If you restock your ingredients, could you please stock more? For example, those eggs, I can never get them.]
[Yes, yes, please bring more eggs and milk.]
Every era has its pillars, and businesspeople like you who uphold your beliefs always rekindle my hope when I'm disillusioned with the domestic business environment.
Zhu Ji brought the message over to Shi Wen to see. "I knew it, with you guys being so responsible, everyone trusts you even more."
Shi Wen looked up and smiled, "It's our honor."
Chapter 183
Life on the ranch was always busy yet peaceful.
That day, Sikewell and his team finally had some free time and came to help collect sperm for insemination.
Sikewell brought Tang Duohai along, saying he wanted to teach Tang Duohai how to collect semen from boars.
Shi Wen this either, so I followed along and learned it with them.
Tang Duohai carried the fake sow simulation platform and followed behind Sikewell.
Sikewell held the anti-slip mat under his arm and the thermos he was going to use to hold the pig semen in his other hand.
Upon seeing Shi Wen, Sikewell immediately asked, "Where are we picking them?"
Shi Wen, "Is the pigsty alright? It's been disinfected."
Sikewell: "As long as the lighting is good. I haven't seen your boar for a few days, how's it doing? You haven't mated it these past few days, have you?"
Shi Wen shook his head. "No, they were specially isolated. The boars have been resting and recuperating for at least half a month. The sperm quality should be fine."
"That's settled then, let's go take a look." Sikewell strode forward, "Today we'll go all out and get the sow bred while we're at it."
The two moved quickly, and in no time, Shi Wen and his companion arrived in front of the pigsty.
His only breeding boar was kept inside, and it was lying on the ground sleeping at that moment.
Sikewell couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, your boar is huge!"
Shi Wen, "I just weighed it yesterday; it's only a little over 230 pounds. It has a lot of fur, which makes it look fat."
"It would be better to shave it before shaving," Sikewell said, glancing at it. "There's too much hair; it's cumbersome and unhygienic."
Shi Wen had no objections. "Then I'll bring the electric clippers over."
Shi Wen that there were fences in the livestock sheds, so he took a rope, grabbed the sheep and pigs by the ears, and quickly tied them to the racks.
His movements were so swift and precise that both Sikewell and Tang Duohai couldn't help but show their admiration.
"You've really mastered that skill," Sikewell said.
Shi Wen laughed, "It's alright, I'm strong. And it's afraid of me, so it doesn't dare to struggle."
Electric sheep shears are extremely efficient; Shi Wen they can shave the hair off a large pig in less than three minutes.
Sikewell took out some disinfectant wipes and first cleaned the sheep and pigs, then had Tang Duohai bring over the fake livestock platform.
Shi Wen then took a burlap sack and cleaned up the pig bristles.
Shi Wen's boar, perhaps because it had never been on the fake animal platform before, or perhaps because it wasn't used to being naked, circled the platform several times but refused to go up.
Sikewell shoved its rear end. "What are you wandering around for? Hurry up and get on!"
The boar squealed and backed away.
Shi Wen used carrots to lure it, and after a while, it finally stepped onto the fake animal platform, slowly lying down on the non-slip mat.
Sikewell washed his hands, put on gloves, and quickly went to the underside of its belly to find the genitals. As he searched, he explained the key points of semen collection to Shi Wen and the Shi Wen: "Pull out its genitals, then gently wedge them at this spiral point, and it will be easy to remove..."
Perhaps his vital organs were being strangled, the boar dared not move.
Sikewell taught them how to clean and disinfect, and then used a technique to get the pigs to ejaculate into the thermos.
The thermos is mainly used to maintain the activity of the boar semen.
Sikewell was a good teacher; he explained the key points very thoroughly.
Shi Wen and Tang Duohai squatted down beside him and learned, and soon they had learned most of it.
"Who wants to try first?" Sikewell moved his hand away. "We should be able to harvest again."
Tang Duohai excitedly raised his hand. "I'll do it, I think I know how."
Sikewell: "Then be careful."
"No problem, watch me." Tang Duohai put on gloves, walked to the opposite side of Sikewell, and asked through the pig's body, "Gently pinch the spiral here, right?"
