"Brother Niu: I’m sick! Quick, take a look at me!!"
"People do say that cows are spiritual animals. They know when a vet is here and willingly stick their heads out."
"I think I see it. Is it that yellow cow with a slightly messy hairstyle and a streak of white fur?"
"Seems like it’s the one."
In the livestream.
Because the camera follows the direction Dr. Zhang Lingchuan points.
Everyone turns their gaze toward the cow.
Suddenly, they notice a cow that looks like it got its hair permed, its head slightly white-curling, looking in this direction.
"See, it’s the one with a bit of tears, hair a bit curly, and a streak of white fur."
Dr. Zhang Lingchuan looks at the cow that stands out in the herd.
The hairstyle is easy to recognize.
"Wow, it really is. No idea why it’s tearing up. Dr. Zhang, after lunch, please perform surgery on these two cows and take a look."
Boss Fei looks in the direction Dr. Zhang Lingchuan points.
Discovers the cow does seem to be tearing up.
"Lunch??"
Dr. Zhang Lingchuan’s expression shows confusion.
He believes this cow should be checked first.
After all, in the whole herd.
It’s the only one with a red tag.
According to the system.
A red tag means the animal is ill and predicted to die within three years.
But the exploration only goes up to three years, meaning...
It could die tomorrow, which still falls within three years.
This matter is quite urgent.
So it’s best to assume the worst.
What illness could cause this cow to die in a short time?
"Hahaha, it’s already noon. Who works on an empty stomach? Come on, Dr. Xiao Zhang and the TV crew, and of course the folks in front of the camera, enjoy your meal first, then we’ll eat."
Boss Fei isn’t actually fat.
Legend has it he was chubby when young.
Taller than 170 cm and almost 200 pounds.
Later, he lost the weight.
Now he’s only slightly above average.
Estimated around 140-150 pounds.
According to the current system check.
He’s not sick enough to need the hospital, his head glows green.
If he were sick, it should be yellow.
"This Boss Fei is considerate."
"Indeed very thoughtful, arranging lunch for Dr. Zhang and the team right at 11:35."
"I’ve noticed a pattern, though not absolute: most who succeed in business aren’t stingy towards others. Like Boss Zhao previously."
"In my understanding, they’re mostly courteous to those who can maintain or protect their interests."
"Of course, how could someone grow a business without accommodating everyone?"
"What a spread of dishes!"
"I’m envious of Dr. Zhang and team having lunch, while I’m still in bed on a Saturday."
"Buddy, you should be beaten up for saying that. We get single days off and still have to work, while you’re just lying around!!"
...
The cow barn has many small houses.
Some are kitchens, some are staff dormitories, and others are dining halls. At the moment, Boss Fei opens a door.
It’s a small room with a table and a small air conditioner.
Looks like a typical reception room.
The air conditioning is already on inside.
Several dishes are prepared.
There’s white cut chicken.
Twice-cooked pork.
Fried greens.
Beef jerky.
Of course, there’s also plenty of raw cut beef, beef offals, tripe, etc.
A stove occupies the center.
"Dr. Xiao Zhang, knowing you’re bringing the TV crew to our Old Fatty’s Cow Barn, treating cows and livestreaming, we can’t afford advertising fees, so we can only treat you to a meal. The dishes might be slight, please don’t mind."
Boss Fei chuckles while patting Dr. Zhang Lingchuan’s shoulder and leading him in.
"Boss Fei sure knows how to joke."
Chen Qian chuckles along.
"Indeed, such variety for being sparse!"
"Yes, this spread feels like it can’t be less than two-three hundred bucks, it would probably cost seven-eight hundred outside."
"Woo hoo, I’m drooling as a seasoned foodie in Rongcheng, where can we get this portion for seven-eight hundred? Eating hotpot, a plate comes with only a few slices and lacks this freshness!"
Viewers drool over the spread.
"Boss Fei, your filming help is already greatly appreciated, how dare we ask for advertising fees."
Zhang Lingchuan responds.
"Hahaha~"
Boss Fei laughs heartily.
"By the way, Boss Fei, honestly I’d like to check on that cow first, feel like it can’t wait."
Dr. Zhang Lingchuan says.
Seeing the red tag.
Being told to enjoy the meal peacefully is uncomfortable.
Moreover, he’s curious about the cow’s condition.
"Dr. Xiao Zhang, don’t be so stubborn, eat first then deal with everything. After all, if it’s so urgent it can’t wait for a meal, what’s the point?"
Boss Fei pats Zhang Lingchuan’s shoulder.
Signals him to sit.
"Take a seat, TV crew too. Let’s eat first, just a simple stone-pot hot soup."
In Lingnan.
Having a stone-pot actually resembles hotpot.
Except it lacks divided sections like a Yin-Yang or nine-grid; only a clear broth.
Generally, a bit of chicken is placed at the bottom.
Then you add whatever you like to eat.
If you like it spicy, dip in the sauce before you.
