Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 238 - 236: Little Border Collie Can Do a Backflip Too?

The little wild boar has quite a temper.

Just three days ago, the sow in the pigsty gave birth to 12 piglets.

A sow can give birth to 10 to 15 piglets at a time, and sometimes even 20.

Pigs truly are representatives of fine livestock.

They can eat, sleep, reproduce, and their meat is delicious.

Jiang Feng looked at the little wild boar in the yard and said to the viewers:

"Since I’ve said it, I’ll definitely do it."

"Let’s keep it for a few months and see how it goes. If it’s really not suitable, we’ll release it into the forest."

"By then, the wild boars should be cleared out, and there won’t be any natural enemies outside."

Jiang Feng picked up the wild boar again.

This wild boar kept snorting and grunting.

Jiang Feng made his way to the pigsty, where there was a large pen specially designated, housing a very large sow. It looked like there was plenty of milk, and there were many piglets running around.

Jiang Feng directly placed the little wild boar inside.

The little wild boar was initially a bit reserved, but upon seeing the sow’s teats, it immediately ran over to suckle.

The sow doesn’t distinguish between her own piglets; she takes care of any piglet, so the little wild boar quickly integrated into the new family.

The chat room was bustling with comments.

[Who would’ve thought this little wild boar could choose the right way to survive!]

[If it grows up, will it turn into Pig Ganglie!?]

[So fierce, actually raising wild boars!]

[That’s just how the rancher is, raising wild boars in the pen is normal!]

Jiang Feng looked at the suckling wild boar along with a few little spotted pigs.

When wild boars are young, their fur is short, making them quite cute to look at.

As they grow, they get uglier, and then you release them.

Jiang Feng pondered and said:

"This little guy reminds me of the orphan of the Zhao family. Normally, its family could have all died due to my traps."

"Yet now I’m raising it."

"Humans really are sinful."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers found his perspective unique.

[Wow, so won’t this little wild boar seek revenge in the future?]

[Imagining a dramatic palace drama, raising the enemy’s son only to not have the heart to kill it!]

[Rancher, be careful of raising a tiger!]

Everyone sent comments.

Jiang Feng was unconcerned.

Human morals and ethics don’t apply to animals in nature.

Then, he briefed Zhu Huo about the little wild boar, asking Zhu Huo to pay extra attention.

If the little wild boar wasn’t easy to raise, he should release it outside the pasture.

However, what happened next was unexpected for Jiang Feng. Zhu Huo later reported to him that the little wild boar behaved no differently from ordinary piglets, even mimicking their routines and had fully integrated into the family of domestic pigs.

Realizing this, Jiang Feng told him to continue raising it.

Returning to the yard, Jiang Feng said to Xiaojin Hua:

"Keep quiet and don’t bring back any more strange little creatures."

"If you do, I’ll really open a zoo."

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the Little Border Collie chuckled silly, unclear if it understood.

Thankfully, there aren’t any forests around the pasture, or else Jiang Feng would really be worried about this little guy bringing back a black bear or leopard, which isn’t unheard of abroad.

July has passed.

This month, catching over thirty wild boars brought in an extra seventy thousand yuan.

Plus, the earnings from cow, camel, and horse milk, renting tractors for mowing, and selling a hundred sheep and twenty cattle, after deducting costs, the total profit was five to six hundred thousand yuan.

This high profit is quite notable.

Because maintaining the ranch is costly, many people break even come the autumn harvest festival.

Being able to make a profit like Jiang Feng is quite impressive.

The next day, Jiang Feng sent Hadan and Bugude to mow grass with the tractor outside. For the upcoming month, the tractor probably won’t stop, as it’ll be out earning money daily.

The extra earnings are quite nice.

Others at the ranch continue tending to the animals and cleaning.

Jiang Feng feeds the cats and dogs daily.

The three little cats have grown up now, looking quite chubby.

The calico cat is gentle and clingy, likes being pet; the little tabby cat inherited Cat Boss’s personality, a bit naughty; the little black cat is aloof and comes out at night.

There are plenty of cats and dogs in the yard, and they get along well.

At night, Jiang Feng rested on a recliner.

The cats and dogs all around him.

The Mongolian Mastiff lowered its head and gently took away Jiang Feng’s right shoe.

Jiang Feng noticed and immediately shouted softly:

"Coal Ball?"

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s call, Coal Ball paused slightly, then placed Jiang Feng’s shoe back.

Then, Coal Ball took the opportunity to lick Jiang Feng’s right foot.

This dog’s antics amused the viewers.

[Hahaha, this loyal dog actually licks feet!]

[Coal Ball: That’s the taste!]

[Such a handsome Mastiff, yet it’s a loyal dog!]

The comments were filled with joy.

Coal Ball indeed has a high appearance, being a carefully chosen Mastiff, with lush black fur on its back, and a heart-shaped yellow pattern on its chest, looking very majestic.

But perhaps because it grew up with the Border Collie, its overall style seems a bit silly.

The Border Collie and White Wolf lay on the ground, lazily yawning.

White Wolf also looks mighty, usually playing around with Xiaojin Hua, they have a very strong bond.

"Summer on the pasture is ending, approaching the mowing and harvest season."

"After autumn, prepare to enter winter, so it’s essential to prepare in advance, reducing livestock numbers, readying the fodder."

"Winter on the grasslands is tough."

"This will be my second winter in Maodeng, the pens have been improved, and can accommodate more cattle and sheep."

"But I should also sell some of the cattle and sheep."

"Most of the spring lamb rams will be sold, and some of the older ewes will be sold."

Jiang Feng shared his plans with everyone.

At this time, many online users were asking:

[Host, can I buy some lamb from you?]

[Many ranches have their own lamb brands; you could create a brand too!]

[Opening your own processing factory makes more money, all the profits are going to others now!]

[Host, sell us some please!]

The price of mutton has always been relatively stable.

The reason is simple: lamb in the Huaxia market is in short supply.

Many times, businesses use other meat to fake lamb or synthesize it artificially.

Jiang Feng was aware of the lamb brands mentioned by netizens.

Many herdsmen sell their own beef and lamb brands, mainly beef jerky and lamb chops, with considerable profits.

But Jiang Feng didn’t plan to do this.

Because his ranch collaborates with a few big bosses, who don’t sell to slaughterhouses.

The price offered is a bit higher than the market price.

The profits are not much different compared to branding.

The key is peace of mind.

Besides, many bosses want to cooperate with him, so Jiang Feng has no trouble selling cattle and sheep.

He replied to the netizens:

"All my lamb is already reserved, and there are many orders, I have to fulfill them first."

"For now, there’s no need to sell online."

"If business isn’t good, then I’ll open online sales channels."

Upon hearing what Jiang Feng said, the comments kept flooding in.

[I hope the host’s business isn’t good! Then we can buy lamb online!]

[Goodness, others are rushing to find more buyers, but the host doesn’t have stock to sell!]

[I wondered why there’s no selling yet, everyone is anxious!]

[Host, we beg you to sell lamb and beef!]

Seeing everyone’s eager hopes, Jiang Feng was amused.

He never considered selling products, nor does he generally plan to do so.

Many things become uninteresting when mixed with commerce.

For example, while traveling, at barbershops, malls, there’s often a sense of ruining the mood with sales pitches.

"There’s no need to buy from me, there are plenty of beef and lamb brands in Inner Mongolia, but make sure to choose a bigger brand to avoid bad vendors."

Jiang Feng added.

[Host, we really can’t tell, better buy from you!]

[Why don’t you recommend a few brands to us!]

[Thousands plead for sales!]

[Go to Oriental Select, it’s pretty good!]

The comments continue suggesting.

But Jiang Feng doesn’t want to get involved in these; he prefers a more leisurely live stream.

Streaming the grassland scenery, streaming some interesting animals.

That’s just nice.

He can also use accumulated popularity value to hold prize draws.

For him, this is already very comfortable.

There’s no need to pursue more monetary benefits.

Jiang Feng stopped chatting with the netizens in the live stream.

He just looked at the cats and dogs in the yard, teasing them.

"Xiaohai, do a rollover!"

Jiang Feng shouted to the black cat.

The little black cat playing on the grass heard Jiang Feng’s words, as if it really understood, it nudged its head on the grass, and its butt flipped up directly, doing a rollover.

Then it looked at Jiang Feng with glistening eyes, seemingly awaiting the next command.

These cats and dogs are particularly smart; their intelligence is high.

Xiaojin Hua noticed Jiang Feng playing the "command game."

Immediately ran over, proactively came to Jiang Feng’s side.

It looked at Jiang Feng adorably, appearing eager to play the game.

"You want to roll over too? Can you do it?"

Jiang Feng looked at it and couldn’t help but laugh.

Netizens were attracted by this leisurely scene.

Then, they heard Jiang Feng say with a laugh:

"Alright then, Xiaojin Hua, you roll over too."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s command, Xiaojin Hua immediately copied the cat and lay down.

But a dog’s body is not as coordinated and flexible as a cat’s.

Xiaojin Hua didn’t know how to flip its body vertically, so it simply leaped with its hind legs, making its body stand straight up.

Then, it smacked its back onto the grass and completed the command.

The action was stiff, but it succeeded in the challenge.

Xiaojin Hua lay on the ground, smiling at Jiang Feng, with a hint of pride in its expression.

As if saying: "How’s my rolling?"

Jiang Feng hurriedly got up from his chair to watch it, and said:

"You’d better not mess around."

"Let the cat do this."

The live stream room was filled with laughter, netizens couldn’t stop laughing.

[Hahaha, Xiaojin Hua can roll over too!]

[Host, it’s your fault for giving the command!]

[This dog is so absurd!]

[So smart, they really understand human speech!]
