Chu Zhuo went back inside to change his clothes, and the three of them went to the sheepfold to milk the sheep.

The process is not complicated; it mainly involves waiting. Once the preparation is complete, pour the previously stored yogurt starter into the goat milk, stir well, and let it ferment for about 6-8 hours.

There is a two-hour time difference between Xinjiang Province and Shanghai. After resting for a day, the next evening, my aunt chose a lamb and asked the local chef to slaughter it.

A frame was set up on site, with half of the lamb being roasted and the other half skewered into lamb skewers.

With the three of them working together, the meat skewers were quickly skewered.

The whole roasted lamb will take a while, so they started grilling the meat skewers first.

I made the yogurt yesterday, put it in the refrigerator overnight, added shaved ice, grape syrup, and a little raspberry jam on its own.

Chu Zhuo first tasted the yogurt shaved ice. It was sweet and sour, icy cold, and had a delicate texture. He scooped a spoonful and fed it to the man who was focused on grilling lamb skewers: "It tastes amazing. Yu Suili, you should try some too. Ah, open your mouth."

Yu Suili opened his mouth wide. The icy shaved ice mixed with sweet and sour yogurt and jam tasted good, but he never cared much for food. He was more interested in the fact that Chu Zhuo had made it by hand.

Chu Zhu ate bite after bite until the lamb skewers were done, and only half a bowl of yogurt shaved ice remained.

After a few skewers of mutton, the taste was the same as the one Yu Suili grilled for him in Xunshan last time. The only difference was the quality of the mutton; this meat was more tender. Chu Zhu volunteered, "I also want to learn how to grill it. Brother Sui, teach me."

Yu Suili told him how often to flip the meat skewers, how often to sprinkle the seasoning, and the frequency of flipping. Chu Zhu copied him exactly.

The taste was almost perfectly replicated, and even his aunt praised him for his talent.

Chu Zhuo secretly fed 001 a few skewers of meat, and smiled happily, her bright eyes burning like mirrors: "I am a genius."

On a summer evening, with a gentle breeze blowing from the grassland, I devoured meat, sipped some yogurt shaved ice, and watched the whole roasted lamb sizzle on the rack, its rich cumin aroma filling the air. Chu Zhuo felt a strong urge to stay a few more days.

"The whole roasted lamb is ready. Think about which part of the lamb you'd like to eat? Auntie will cut it for you." Auntie held a knife and gestured on the lamb.

Chu Zhuo pointed to the rib area: "I'd like to gnaw on a big rib, thank you, Auntie."

My aunt deftly cut off two whole lamb ribs, inserted the knife, gave one to Chuzhuo, and placed the other in Chuzhuo's bowl.

"Where should Suili eat?" His aunt asked him, holding up a knife.

"Just like Zhuobao."

Yu Suili asked for the same style.

The aroma of roasted whole lamb wafted into the distance. Zhaocai and Jinbao, carrying their dog bowls, stuck out their tongues greedily. Auntie selected two pieces with more fat for the two dogs, cut them up, and threw them into their food bowls.

The food, which brings wealth and treasures, is panting heavily, showing no sign of refined eating habits; it's all about unrestrained indulgence.

Auntie kicked Zhaocai's butt: "Give me some face, you two are representing my image now."

Chu Zhu tilted her head and said, "Hasn't my aunt always been a great beauty?"

After being coaxed by the handsome boy, the aunt felt pleased: "Haha, that's right."

The bright moonlight shone on the earth, and the grassland was very quiet at night. The three people and two dogs ate until midnight.

With nothing urgent to attend to recently, Yu Suili spent half a month with Chu Zhuo at the ranch.

During the day, the weather is clear, and as night falls, the Milky Way and stars reflect each other, creating a colorful galaxy.

Chu Zhuo lay flat on the grass, and Yu Suili sat next to him, extending half of his arm for him to lean on.

The man, who had been rock climbing for years, had very muscular arms. Chu Zhuo slowly moved closer to Yu Suili and planted a kiss on his cheek: "Thank you, boyfriend."

The arm pressing against the back of her head tensed, its soft muscles hardening, and Chu Zhuo's eyes widened: "Huh?"

Yu Suili's breathing quickened as she rolled over and enveloped him, fulfilling her boyfriend's wish: "Have you seen enough of the stars? Come look at me."

After finishing speaking, without giving him a chance to refuse, she cornered him in a solid kiss.

The stars on the grassland were dazzling, and Chu Zhuo was interrupted after only starting to count them.

For more than ten days, we ate and drank well, woke up early every day full of energy, ran and played on the grassland, and herded sheep with Zhaocai Jinbao. We never seemed to run out of energy.

When it was time to leave, not only was the aunt reluctant to part, but even the two sheepdogs stared at the suitcases beside them with teary eyes.

Zhao Cai and Jin Bao barked at each other a few times. Then Zhao Cai ran towards the flock of sheep on the grassland, while Jin Bao stood guard at the door like a warrior, not letting them leave.

A few minutes later, Zhao Cai drove over a sheep. At first glance, its fur was fluffy, its body was plump, and its appearance was perfect. It was easy to tell that its meat would be delicious...

Goodness, it deliberately chose a good sheep.

Zhao Cai barked at its aunt, and understanding its meaning, the aunt raised her eyebrows and nodded gently.

Zhao Cai then drove the fat sheep to Chu Zhuo's side, signaling him to grab it.

Of course, the aunt wouldn't skimp on the mutton for them. It was vacuum-packed and put in the trunk of the car. But she didn't stop Zhaocai and Jinbao from doing so. Only then did she explain, "This is a gift from Zhaocai and Jinbao to you. Please accept it."

And there's a special gift for bringing wealth and good fortune?

Chu Zhuo squatted down and petted the two sheepdogs one after the other: "What good dogs, thank you for the gift, Zhao Cai Jin Bao."

The lucky charm sticks out its tongue: "Woof!"

Jinbao wagged its tail: "Woof woof!"

Two large dogs brought a big gift, so they had no choice but to stay longer, slaughter the sheep on the spot, and vacuum-pack it.

The luggage and two sheep cost a lot in shipping fees.

As expected, they arrived in Shanghai after dark. They drove home, and Yu Suili and Chu Zhuo got out of the car at the same time.

Seeing that he had taken out both suitcases, Chu Zhuo asked, "Brother Sui, are you coming home with me?"

Auntie specially prepared two rooms. For the two weeks they spent on the grassland, they slept separately. His sweetheart was in the next room. Yu Suili had endured for more than ten days, his eyes filled with undisguised longing: "Zhuobao, I want to move in."

They had been together for several months, during which a lot had happened. Now that things had settled, Yu Suili no longer intended to hide anything.

He sounded quite self-assured, and Chu Zhuo appreciated his straightforwardness: "Then go ahead and log on."

Yu Suili pushed the two of their suitcases, walking with a brisk pace.

After washing up, Chu Zhuo suggested tidying up the room where her parents used to live and letting Yu Suili stay there for the time being.

Yu Suili clicked her tongue, put her arm around the boy's neck from behind, and pulled him back, saying, "What's the difference between this and Auntie's place, Zhuobao? I want to sleep in the same bed with you."

Chu Zhuo was forced to walk backwards, using both hands to pry open the strong arm that was wrapped around the man's neck: "I was just teasing you, Yu Suili. It's hard for me to walk like this, let go."

"I can't let go." Yu Suili took a few steps, moved her arm down to her abdomen, squeezed the boy's waist tightly, and gently lifted him up. "Zhuobao, just stick to me like this."

He tossed him nimbly onto the bed, then leaned down and precisely captured his lips: "Give me a kiss."

……

Before I knew it, I couldn't control my thoughts and kissed her too much.

After several hours on a plane and a whole day of constant transfers, Yu Suili didn't make it to the end.

He forced himself to sit up and whispered, "I'm sweating again. I'll go take another shower."

A dozen minutes later, Yu Suili returned to bed, a chill washing over him. Chu Zhuo, caught off guard, shivered: "You took a cold shower?"

Yu Suili calmly replied, "Only cold stuff works."

Chuzhuo: "..."
