Fu Meng smiled and said, "You two are doing quite well."

Shi Wen forced a smile and said, "Mmm."

Shi Wen the person in charge heard that he wanted to meet up again in J City, he agreed without hesitation.

On the day they officially set off, Shi Wen and Yan Kexing arrived on Tuesday afternoon.

They planned to stay in a hotel for one night so they wouldn't be in such a rush to get to the meeting point the next day.

Other visitors would take the train early Wednesday morning to save on accommodation costs.

I'll be away for a few days, Shi Wen Zhu Ji to help manage the ranch.

After settling in, Shi Wen them calling to inquire about the ranch.

Zhu Ji said, "You don't trust me, but you don't trust Heiwa and the others? What could possibly happen in just half a day?"

Shi Wen, "There are so many livestock on the ranch, we should at least take care of them."

Zhu Ji: "Everything is great at the ranch. I haven't done much work; Heiwa and the others have done it all by themselves. Have they learned how to operate computers now? I saw them operating the robots incredibly well!"

Shi Wen, "They do know a little. They've been in the livestock shed for a long time, so now they can recognize some common words on the computer and perform some simple operations."

Zhu Ji clicked his tongue. "These are real working dogs. If they keep evolving like this, they'll probably be sitting in offices sooner or later."

Nothing much was happening at the ranch, Shi Wen was relieved.

He placed his phone on the bedside table, flopped onto the bed, and turned to ask Yan Kexing, "Are you coming with me to visit the ranch tomorrow?"

Yan Kexing touched his face. "I probably won't be free. I have an appointment with two colleagues tomorrow, and I need to talk to them first."

Shi Wen, "Then you drive, I'll take a taxi. I'm so sleepy."

Yan Kexing dimmed the light on his side. "Then you go to sleep first, I'll go to sleep after I finish reading today's paper."

When you're out and about, you're bound to be a little more tense.

Shi Wen would lift the covers to get ready for bed, but even though she was very sleepy, she just couldn't fall asleep.

He rolled around trying to find a better position without pressing down on his own tail.

In the end, Yan Kexing couldn't bear to watch anymore. He quickly finished reading the paper, went to wash up, and then came over to hug him.

Shi Wen up next to Yan Kexing, smelling his familiar scent and feeling his familiar body against hers, before finally falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, the two went their separate ways.

Shi Wen went to find the person in charge to gather, and then went to Renying Ranch with the other visitors.

They traveled by bus, which drove from the city center to the suburbs, Shi Wen even gave the impression that they had reached a county town.

More than an hour later, a large group of them arrived at the entrance of Renying Ranch.

Staff from Renying Ranch came out to greet them.

The tour followed the standard procedure. Shi Wen mingled with the crowd and followed them in. First, the staff introduced the history and current situation of Renying Ranch, and then they visited their breeding sites.

This ranch is quite large; judging from what Shi Wen, it's at least two thousand acres.

The ranch is well-managed; everything is in good order.

After a brief tour of the ranch facilities, the staff took them to see the cattle currently being raised at Renying Ranch.

The cattle at Renying Ranch are crossbred cattle based on Simmental cattle. Shi Wen is very familiar with this type of cattle and recognized it at a glance.

Unlike typical Simmental crossbred cattle, the cattle at Renying Ranch are larger, more robust, and quite imposing.

If it weren't for the rubber ring on their bellies, they would look quite cool.

Shi Wen knew what this was—these cattle had undergone permanent rumen fistula surgery; the rubber ring had a flange underneath, a component that was directly attached to the cow's rumen.

He never expected that the cattle at Renying Ranch would be raised in this way.

Other herders in the same group also noticed the rubber band on the cow's belly, and they started discussing it amongst themselves.

Upon seeing this, the staff at Renying Ranch quickly explained, "This is bovine fistula technology, a very mature technology internationally. Our cattle are all grain-fed, and they are more prone to bloat, so we introduced this advanced technology from the West."

One herdsman couldn't help but ask, "Won't it cause problems if this thing is installed directly inside the cow's stomach?"

Staff member. "No, this technology has been proven over decades and is basically safe. Even with the lid on, the stomach remains closed and can still digest normally."

People started whispering and discussing among themselves, most of them with expressions of surprise on their faces.

Shi Wen a herdsman next to him ask, "Shi Wen, you've seen a lot, do people in foreign countries really do this?"

Shi Wen nodded. "That's true, but not everyone raises cattle like that. Some people feed their cattle a lot of concentrated feed, which is hard for the cattle to digest, so sometimes they'll just scoop out the excess feed directly through this hole in their stomach. Sometimes they also put medicine in through this hole."

"Wow, you can do that?"

"It doesn't even sound like cattle farming anymore."

"Their cattle raising methods are really different from ours. Won't the cattle have problems if they do it this way?"

After everyone discussed it for a while, the staff had someone bring over a cow that had undergone rumen fistula surgery for everyone to observe.

At first, some people were hesitant to go up and take a look.

After looking at each other for a while, some of the bolder people went forward and observed the digestion inside the cow's rumen through the rubber cover.

People quickly discovered that with this fistula, people could directly see the condition inside the cow's stomach, which was indeed much more convenient than traditional cattle farming.

Sometimes it's not easy to tell when a cow is sick. If treatment is delayed and the cow dies, the loss will be huge.

Even if someone can figure it out, hiring a veterinarian isn't cheap, and if you need to hire one several times a year, you won't make much money.

If there is this fistula, people can directly see the cow's digestion. If the cow is not doing well, they can directly put medicine in it or remove excess feed.

As many people listened to the staff's introduction, their faces gradually lit up with excitement, eager to embrace the new technology.
