Chapter 198 (continued)

Shi Wen took out the kitchen scale right in front of Dang Changming, carefully peeled the skin off the sealed jar, and then poured the fritillaria honey into the sealed jar.

The fritillary honey has a light purple color, and its beautiful texture can be seen through the glass of the sealed jar.

When filling the fritillaria cirrhosa honey container, Shi Wen specially gave an extra ten grams.

After finishing filling the container, Shi Wen sealed it and handed it to Dang Changming: "Are you going back now? Would you like to stay for a meal?"

Dang Changming, clutching the sealed jar, said, "Then I shall accept it."

Shi Wen laughed and said, "I'm glad you don't mind our cooking."

Shi Wen the Dang Changming carrying people to the restaurant.

There was half-eaten food on the table; thankfully it was summer, so it hadn't gotten cold yet.

Yan Kexing cooked two more dishes and said to Dang Changming, "Just make do with this. It's a simple home-cooked meal; nothing particularly fancy."

Dang Changming repeatedly said, "This is already very good. It smells especially delicious. You can't find such fragrant dishes when you eat out."

Dang Changming put away the fritillaria honey and took the helicopter back.

Not long after he boarded the helicopter, Shi Wen received the money he had transferred – a full 40 million. Even though Shi Wen wasn't short of money, seeing this money made him very happy.

Zhu Ji had just finished cleaning up the kitchen when he saw him humming a song with a cheerful expression. Wiping his hands, he said, "How about I give you some more money?"

Shi Wen looked up at him and asked, "What money do you need?"

Zhu Ji: "It's about the money for the honey. Didn't the bureau chief give 20 million per kilogram?"

Shi Wen laughed and said, "He is him, and you are you. Our relationship with him isn't as deep as our relationship with you, so just consider it a discount for an old friend."

Zhu Ji said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Brother Shi, you've taken such good care of me."

Shi Wen, "You're welcome. You've taken good care of us too."

Three pounds of fritillaria honey were sold from the ranch, and Shi Wen refused to sell the rest; he wanted to keep it on the ranch and eat it slowly.

Yan Kexing never really cared about the ranch's affairs, nor did he have any opinions.

Two days later, Shi Wen received a huge package from the Bureau of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau.

Besides various food and household items, the most prominent item in the package was a jar of lotus seeds.

The lotus seeds were packaged in small glass tubes, eighteen in total, with a label specifically indicating that they were for cultivation.

Shi Wen Dang Changming touch.

Dang Changming said, "[I heard you like lotus tea, so I sent you some. Thinking you might prefer the lotus flowers from your own ranch, I added lotus seeds as well.]"

Dang Changming, "[These are lotus seeds produced by the lotus plants grown by our Abnormal Affairs Bureau. Soak them briefly, and they should sprout quickly after planting.]"

Shi Wen: [You guys are so thoughtful, thank you.]

Dang Changming: [You're welcome. I hope this flower of friendship will bloom on your pastures.]

Shi Wen: [It definitely will.]

Shi Wen specifically looked it up, and the information says that lotus flowers can be planted now.

He took a small jar and soaked the eighteen lotus seeds in it, planning to plant them in the ditch in a few days.

Yan Kexing asked, "The water flow is stronger over there in the ditch, are you sure it's suitable to plant lotus flowers?"

Shi Wen at the lotus seeds that had already been soaked, Shi Wen said uncertainly, "It should be fine, right? I plan to plant them in a place downstream where the current is slower. After this period of silt accumulation, the silt downstream should be almost gone."

Yan Kexing: "Then let's give it a try."

With only eighteen lotus seeds, it doesn't require much planting space.

Shi Wen casually found a patch of land, planted the lotus seeds, and then stuck a stick next to each seed to keep them from being washed away by the water.

The lotus seeds have sprouted, but I wonder how long it will take for them to grow leaves?

Shi Wen check on it every few days, and it seemed to be going well, so I gradually stopped paying attention.

He went up the mountain to inspect the area that day.

Once he reached the top of the mountain, he discovered that the peaches on the mountain were gradually ripening.

The peaches they grow are local peaches, and they are very large, bigger than his fist. They are a late-ripening variety.

The peaches are ripe now, but they are ripening in batches.

Only the peaches on the sunny side are ripe; the ones at the bottom are still green.

Shi Wen picked a ripe peach and plucked it.

The peaches were heavy, with only a touch of red at the mouth. When you held them to your nose, you could smell a very fragrant peach aroma.

He had eaten many peaches before, but this was the first time he had ever smelled such a fragrant peach.

He couldn't resist wiping the peach with his sleeve, then gently biting into the red tip, cracking the skin open with his teeth.

These peaches are soft peaches; once you crack open the skin, the flesh inside is soft.

The peaches are very juicy; one bite is full of sweet and sour peach flavor, accompanied by a rich peach aroma, which is quite delicious.

Unfortunately, it wasn't as sweet as he had imagined.

It's possible that because it was the first year of growing peaches, the quality of the peaches wasn't at its best, which is why they tasted a little sour.

Shi Wen took bite after bite and quickly finished the peach.

A fully ripe peach will not have its flesh sticking to the pit, so he got a very clean peach pit.

The peach pit looked quite nice, so he casually put it in his pocket.

Now that the peaches are ripe, we can pick them and eat them.

Shi Wen hadn't brought any other tools, so he could only take off his hat and turn it inside out to hold the peaches.

He specifically picked the peaches from the very top of the tree, and even squeezed them before picking them. He only picked the peaches that were already soft, and planned to leave the rest on the tree to grow slowly.

One by one, Shi Wen as I picked each peach; they were all so beautiful, and the peaches on the branches were even more beautiful.

He kept picking them, unable to stop.

At this time, he discovered that this year's peaches were perfectly intact, with a very smooth surface, without any wounds or even a single wormhole.
