Zhu Ji said to him, "The honey's Abilities value has exceeded three hundred, so it's no longer an ordinary ingredient. We might need to collaborate with you next."

Shi Wen said, "Actually, the ingredients on our ranch are no longer ordinary ingredients. How can we cooperate?"

Zhu Ji: "This needs to be discussed and decided in a meeting, I don't know either. Maybe you can sell it to someone with Abilities? The price will definitely be fair."

Shi Wen nodded. "I understand. You can discuss it further. As long as it's not too excessive, I have no objections."

Zhu Ji smiled and said, "I know you have no objections. If you did, you wouldn't have specially sent the honey for testing. I was just reminding you, and I also thank you for your support of our work."

Shi Wen, "Then you should treat me to lunch. Treat me to lunch in exchange for my support."

Zhu Ji: "Eat, eat, eat! I'll have our cafeteria prepare some specialties."

After receiving the honey test results and having lunch at Zhu Ji, Shi Wen drove back.

The car belongs to Yan Kexing and is usually kept at the ranch. Shi Wen goes out.

Shi Wen there was a lot of honey at home, and it wasn't going to be sold anytime soon, Shiwen transferred it to a large earthenware jar for storage.

Large earthenware jars have a certain degree of permeability, which allows the honey to concentrate more and better maintain its quality.

Of course, this can only be maintained for a short period of time; in the long run, no one can say for sure.

Shi Wen of someone carrying several large earthenware jars, each weighing over 200 kilograms, into the storage room.

By evening, his arms were so sore he could barely lift them.

While massaging him, Yan Kexing said, "Why don't you wait for me to come back and we can lift it together?"

Shi Wen, "I didn't think about it when I was moving it; I just felt I could lift it, and it just went by instinct."

Yan Kexing slapped him on the lower back. "A muscle strain is to be expected."

Shi Wen clicked his tongue and said, "I've already strained my muscle, and you're still laughing at me. Speaking of which, shouldn't we build a basement on our ranch? I see the storage room is already full; if we don't build a basement soon, we won't have enough room left."

Yan Kexing: "Let's hire a construction team to help with the ranch facility renovations this fall."

Shi Wen's phone rang. He was lying comfortably and didn't want to move at all, so he asked Yan Kexing without looking up, "Who called?"

Yan Kexing glanced at it for him. "Sikewell."

Shi Wen sat up abruptly. "Sikewell? What does he want with me so late?"

Shi Wen the phone call connect.

Sikewell's somewhat aged voice came from the other end. "Shi Wen."

Shi Wen was startled. "What happened? Why does your voice sound like that?"

Sikewell: "I accidentally fell off my horse today and broke my leg. I can't go to the clinic the day after tomorrow."

"You're injured, you need to rest." Shi Wen saying that, Shi Wen asked, "So what do you want to do now? Replace them? Or cancel it altogether?"

Sikewell: "We'd already arranged to go out for free medical consultations, and everyone's been waiting. I bet some people haven't even had a proper checkup yet, so canceling it now wouldn't be good."

Shi Wen a soft "hmm" and waited for him to continue.

Sikewell: "Well, we're just missing a leader, a captain. Everything else is in place. We were just wondering if you could help us take on that role and shoulder the responsibility."

Shi Wen was startled and exchanged a glance with Yan Kexing: "I can't do it, can I? I haven't received any professional training, how can I do this?"

Sikewell: "You don't have a certificate, but you have experience. Not only experience, but also prestige, so you'll definitely be fine. I've spoken to Duohai and Ban Lei, and they have no objections."

Tang Duohai and Ban Lei are two assistants to Sikewell, and also legitimate veterinarians.

Generally, when looking after livestock for Han Chinese herders, Sikewell would bring Tang Duohai along, while when looking after livestock for ethnic minority herders, he would bring Ban Lei more often.

Shi Wen sat cross-legged on the bed, thought for a moment, and said, "That's a bit hard to say. I'll come see you tomorrow, and we can talk about it in person."

Sikewell: "Sure. Since you're the team leader, I also have some things to discuss with you."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Wen looked at Yan Kexing, still a little dazed. "Sikewell hurt his leg."

Yan Kexing: "I overheard him saying he made you the team leader?"

Shi Wen, "Yes. I never expected him to give me this job. Tang Duohai and Ban Lei are both more suitable than me."

Yan Kexing: "They are professionals, but they don't have your kind of prestige."

Shi Wen casually tossed his phone aside. "What prestige do I have?"

Yan Kexing: "Yes, you have a very good reputation now. When people talk about you, they all say that you are good at business, good at raising livestock, and a very good person."

Shi Wen, "You must have only heard the good things about me."

Yan Kexing: "No, not at all. If there are some unpleasant things to say, I just won't tell you, but you can still hear them."

Yan Kexing smiled when he saw his hesitation, "Go ahead, they all respect you."

Shi Wen muttered something under his breath, then hesitated before finally saying, "I'll go check on Sikewell tomorrow."

If it really came down to leading a team on a medical mission, Shi Wen wasn't entirely incapable.

Having run the ranch for so long, he had become quite experienced and adept at personnel management.

He just didn't realize for a moment that Sikewell had actually appointed him as the captain of the medical team.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Shi Wen took some mutton and a jar of honey from home and rode his motorcycle to Sikewell.

Shi Wen he's visited the Sikewell family more than once.

Sikewell is a large local family, consisting not only of parents, but also sons, daughters-in-law, and even grandchildren. They live in a traditional house with local architectural features.

Shi Wen a knock at the door, Sikewell's wife came out to greet him.
