It's possible that when they slaughtered their cow last time, it was still a bit small, and the farming method was mainly grain-fed, so they didn't manage the taste of the beef very well.

This time, Fu Meng's beef truly brought out the unique aroma of grass-fed beef.

Shi Wen looked at Fu Meng and Chang Qingqing.

Neither of them paid much attention to eating the meat; instead, they watched everyone else eat, both wearing proud expressions.

Like an old farmer facing a bountiful harvest.

The two of them are truly dedicated to raising cattle and have put a lot of effort into it.

Shi Wen firsthand how they raise cattle, I truly understood just how difficult it was for them to reach this level, and how much they had sacrificed behind the scenes.

Everyone can taste that Fu Meng's beef is different from others.

Although not everyone is a gourmet, most people can clearly distinguish between good and bad beef.

This level of beef is rare, not only outside of their own pastoral areas.

Zhang Deyuan glanced at the beef in front of him and exclaimed, "Your cattle are so well-raised! One should be quite impressed by how quickly things have changed!"

Fu Meng's face was full of pride, but he said modestly, "We raised them according to Shi Wen's requirements, and they even ate a lot of hay from his ranch."

Chang Qingqing: "For the past few months, we've basically been eating hay from his ranch. The supplementary feed we get in the evenings and mornings is also the hay we requested. We rarely even get rapeseed cake anymore."

Zhang Deyuan: "It's really remarkable that it's this plump and tender."

Old Man Ma said, "The fat content isn't the key; it's the aroma that matters. If I were young, I could eat three pounds of it in one go."

Another old man said, "The problem isn't whether you can eat it, but whether you can afford it."

Old Man Ma: "..."

Everyone laughed, but each laugh contained a different flavor.

Shi Wen tasted another piece of beef without saying a word.

As a key figure in cattle farming, he remained silent, and everyone watched him.

Fu Meng nudged him. "Say something quickly."

Shi Wen smiled and said, "I think the quality of this beef is excellent. Even top international companies don't raise cattle that are much better."

Fu Meng said, "I haven't tried that. Their beef is so expensive, I can't afford it."

Everyone laughed again.

Shi Wen looked at the beef and said, "I'm wondering, this beef is so good, how do we sell it, and at what price?"

Upon Shi Wen this, everyone fell silent and looked at him.

Shi Wen looked at Fu Meng and Chang Qingqing: "How about we put this batch of beef on our mini-program to sell? We can decide whether we buy your cattle or adopt a profit-sharing model. I think this beef meets the selling standards for our mini-program."

It's no secret that Shi Wen's mini-program sells very expensive and profitable items.

However, his products are indeed good, and no one else's products can compete with them, so despite some envy or even jealousy, no one can say anything openly.

Now that people hear that Fu Meng's beef can be sold on his mini-program, everyone around them looks at Fu Meng and Chang Qingqing with envy.

They had long heard that Shi Wen intended to cooperate with others to jointly raise cattle and sheep, and that Shi Wen wanted to improve the quality of cattle and sheep in this area, but they never expected that he would be willing to provide real money, manpower, and resources.

Almost everyone knows what this means--

As long as we cooperate with Shi Wen, we'll be able to make money easily in the future.

After a moment of silence, everyone started to speak.

"Brother Fu, how many cows do you have in total? If you could put them all on the market, you'd be making a fortune."

"I know there are over two hundred cattle in total, right? Are they all ready for market now?"

"Brother Shi, could you mentor us too? If you need any collaboration, just let me know. I can't guarantee anything else, but I promise I'll be obedient!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Shi, whatever you say goes! We'll raise it however you want!"

Amidst the lively discussion, Zhang Deyuan turned to Fu Meng and Chang Qingqing and asked, "This cow is really well-raised. You must have put a lot of effort into it. If it were an ordinary person, even with Shi Wen, they probably couldn't raise it this well."

Fu Meng: "Yeah, I've been taking care of you day and night these past few days, and it's made my hair turn gray."

Zhang Deyuan: "I knew it. I really can't be envious of the money you guys are making."

As soon as Zhang Deyuan spoke, several close friends stepped in to smooth things over, and the atmosphere relaxed again.

Shi Wen smiled and said, "Cooperation is definitely necessary. My ranch is only a small operation; it can't capture much market share. I'll look for other partners after I've figured out a scientific breeding method."

"Brother Shi is too modest. You're taking very good care of yourself."

Shi Wen, "The current experience isn't suitable for widespread application. Brother Fu's family is still using our pasture, so we have to wait until he can raise calves using his own pasture before it's considered successful. However, we can proceed with breed improvement. We'll see if we can introduce suitable breeding bulls in the next year or two, and focus on improving the quality of the calves first."

Upon Shi Wen this, everyone came to toast him, expressing their desire for his breeding cattle.

Shi Wen took a couple of sips and said, "You can't rush things like aquaculture; you have to take it slowly. Things will definitely get better in the future."

"That's true. Our sheep were bred with your breeding sheep, and their condition is better than last year."

"Brother Shi, why don't you start a livestock association? If you do, I'll definitely apply."

"Take me with you too, Brother Shi. If you need help, just ask me. I plan to develop farming at home long-term; I can learn anything I don't know gradually."

"Yes, yes, if we want to expand, I can also ask my parents to invest."

While middle-aged and elderly herders are relatively conservative, the way the younger generation of herders look at Shi Wen can only be described as fanatical.

The breeding skills and online stores that Shi Wen have truly shown them a way out for breeding.
