Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 317 - 314: The White Wolf Returns, Chicks on the Prairie!

The first day of herding went very smoothly, the little lambs came out to graze for the first time and were very excited.

After coming back, the bleating continued for quite a while before stopping.

The four little Border Collies were so tired they couldn’t move, and completely obedient, just lying in their pet house resting.

Xiaojin Hua and the others were also resting.

The atmosphere of the ranch changed, the staff were very spirited.

After starting to herd, everyone felt much more relaxed.

In the evening, Jiang Feng was resting in the yard.

At this moment, the sound of wolf howls suddenly echoed outside the yard.

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Feng immediately sat up on the chair.

Soon after, he saw the White Wolf running back with a smiling face.

Xiaojin Hua also came out to greet it.

"Finally back, you’ve been gone for so long."

Jiang Feng petted the White Wolf that ran back and said with a smile.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi walked out of the room.

Seeing the majestic White Wolf, she smiled and said, "Finally back, you can rest easy now."

The White Wolf was still the same, chuckling quietly when Jiang Feng petted it, usually quite calm.

Previously, herders had kept young wolves, which ran away after growing up.

Jiang Feng worried the White Wolf might do the same.

But now that it’s back, it means it still considers the ranch home.

"Help me take a shot and include the White Wolf, I’ll post a video." Jiang Feng said to Liu Yiyi.

"Sure." Liu Yiyi picked up her phone and captured the White Wolf and Jiang Feng.

Without saying much, Jiang Feng just petted the White Wolf’s head.

After the video was shot, Jiang Feng simply captioned it "Xiao Yue comes home," and posted it on his account.

Fans saw the video and left comments, liking it.

[Xiao Yue is finally back, I’m its long-time fan, the coolest at the ranch!]

[This wolf looks great, it seems different from other wolves!]

[The owner is really brave, dare to raise wolves!]

[I also want to keep one!]

Fans celebrated the White Wolf’s return.

Some even suggested Jiang Feng continue live streaming to show the White Wolf’s condition.

Jiang Feng did not read the comments, just checked the White Wolf’s physical condition in the yard.

The White Wolf was in excellent health, not starving.

It seems that during the time in the uninhabited area, it has had a good life.

After all, being raised at the ranch, it ate many supplements, strong physical condition. But during the mating season, it would inevitably clash with other male wolves, especially the Wolf King.

Jiang Feng doesn’t know what happened during this process.

He looked at the White Wolf, seemingly understanding its style.

The wolf pack is led by a leader, and wolves are monogamous, apart from the Wolf King, the highest rank is the wolf queen.

Of course, the actual situation is not just that, the Wolf King will mate with other female wolves, but the pups are likely bitten to death by the mother wolf.

In addition, this does not mean the lower-ranked wolves won’t resist.

For instance, after eating meat, other wolves won’t attack the Wolf King but will sneak food next to it. When bitten by the Wolf King, they run away.

Some male wolves in the pack can mate but must take on the responsibility of being on the front line.

However, their offspring are mostly driven away.

Additionally, strong lone male wolves are allowed by the Wolf King to join the pack, permitted to find young female wolves.

The premise is that they must do dirty and tiring work, hunt, and protect the pack.

The White Wolf is most likely such a situation.

It followed a pack, found a young female wolf.

Then lived for a while before running back.

Thinking like this, the White Wolf’s experience must be quite exciting.

Animals live according to their instincts.

As for taking care of pups later, it’s unpredictable. Perhaps the Wolf King and the pack would take care, or perhaps they would be driven out.

After the White Wolf returned, Jiang Feng petted it for quite a while.

Then feeling satisfied, he returned to the room to rest.

The next day, Jiang Feng started the live stream as usual.

He let the horses out, allowing them to run across the grassland.

Red Hare led the galloping horses, sticking together as a group, sprinting fiercely.

The drone captured the scene from above.

The sight of the galloping horses was truly breathtaking.

The horses hadn’t been running over the grassland for a while, letting them run was good.

Netizens immersed themselves in such a scene.

[Such a stunning view, the ranch surprises me every minute!]

[Every moment here is a scenery!]

[Since watching the owner’s live stream, I’ve always wanted to visit the grassland!]

[Me too, really want to see the grassland!]

Just as everyone immersed in the scene of horses running far, the drone suddenly switched lenses, following Jiang Feng.

Only to see Jiang Feng arriving at the Sika Deer park, releasing all the Sika Deer to the grassland.

Then released the alpacas too.

Anyway, it’s his grassland, let them run wild.

This scene made netizens envy even more.

[Owner, when is the sightseeing ranch opening, can’t wait!]

[Same question, also want to know if we can taste the owner’s own cooked food?]

[I want to see the Sika Deer!]

Everyone was enthusiastic.

Jiang Feng replied with a smile:

"Construction begins in mid-April, even if completed it will be July or August."

"Expect it to open for only a month, since after autumn, the grassland scenery will diminish greatly, not much to see."

"Next year it can officially open."

Hearing that there’s still so long to wait, netizens were slightly disappointed.

Jiang Feng continued to stroll on the grassland, this time without the little Border Collies.

He was strolling on the grassland, enjoying the scenery.

The grassland was vast, and its terrain complex.

At this moment, Jiang Feng saw some wild chickens wandering on the grass far ahead.

"Look over there, those are Inner Mongolian wild chickens."

"There are quite a lot of wild chickens on the grassland, especially in the uninhabited areas or hilly regions."

"Occasionally, you can spot them on the grassland."

"Looks like the seeds and insects on our pasture have attracted these wild chickens."

Jiang Feng pointed into the distance and chuckled.

Wild chickens are young chickens, and their appearance is completely different from domestic chickens.

Wild chickens look leaner, and their movements are more agile.

In urgent situations, wild chickens can fly quite a distance away, making it hard to catch them.

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the netizens burst into laughter.

[Chickens? Where are the chickens? Which chickens are you talking about?]

[Mention wild chickens, and I’m suddenly wide awake!]

[I want to ask everyone, I’m in Kyoto and want to find wild chickens too; where should I look?]

[It’s strict in Kyoto; be careful, young man. Go to the train stations in a few central provincial capitals, and you’ll find older ladies pulling customers!]

The comments section exploded with chatter.

The little Huangzis were excited again.

Jiang Feng didn’t bother too much; he merely watched the young chickens strolling from afar.

The presence of young chickens was certainly a good thing; they fed on insects, and their high appearance made them quite pleasant to look at.

Jiang Feng didn’t pay them much attention.

Of course, there were some mischief-makers in the live stream egging him on:

[Owner, the wild chickens appeared on your pasture without your consent, aren’t you going to stew them?]

Seeing this comment, Jiang Feng replied:

"Wild chickens are protected animals and cannot be touched. If I were to stew them, you’d be seeing me on the news in the future."

However, with the netizens’ suggestion, Jiang Feng did swallow a bit of saliva.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten chicken. Wild chickens can’t be eaten, but domestic chickens are still okay."

"I’ll make a small chicken stew with mushrooms tonight."

"Add some caterpillar fungus, black wolfberry, and the like for a good nourishment."

Jiang Feng moved his body a bit, thinking about the taste of chicken, feeling refreshed all over.

It’s all about how you prepare chicken; once stewed to perfection, it’s a rare delicacy.

Besides stewing, there’s another method of making spicy chicken chunks.

The texture is nice when eating, chewy with great flavor.

Talking about food, various ways of cooking it appeared in Jiang Feng’s mind.

He planned to head to the kitchen in the afternoon to try it out.

Just then, Jiang Feng’s phone rang; it was a call from the Xilinhot City kennel.

Jiang Feng answered the call.

As a ranch owner, he had a lot on his plate normally.

However, this time, it was something unexpected.

The kennel specialized in selling Border Collies, but this time they called Jiang Feng specifically regarding Coal Ball.

In short, they wanted Coal Ball for breeding.

Breeding was a common part of farm life; pigs, cows, and sheep all needed breeding, otherwise Jiang Feng wouldn’t have spent hundreds of thousands to bring back a top-quality breeding bull.

And for breeding at kennels, naturally, they hoped the puppies’ parents had good genetics.

Mongolian Mastiffs were very popular on the grassland, with almost every herder family owning one.

Mongolian Mastiffs were both mighty and docile, and they could herd sheep.

Mastiffs are the most formidable dogs, without a doubt.

Thus, the kennel’s breeding plan this year wanted to negotiate with Jiang Feng to have Coal Ball participate.

Coal Ball’s appearance was rare among Mongolian Mastiffs.

Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur, with a yellow star pattern on its chest, and it had a great demeanor overall.

Furthermore, its face, legs, and body, all had perfect proportions.

Undoubtedly a champion mastiff dog.

Regarding this matter, Jiang Feng had no objections.

But he didn’t fully agree either.

"Alright, I’ll bring Coal Ball over then, if it’s willing to mate, then I agree."

"If it’s not willing, there’s nothing I can do."

"Can’t force it to mate."

Jiang Feng responded over the phone.

Coal Ball’s appearance and bloodline were that of a pure Mongolian Mastiff.

If the offspring had good traits and bloodlines, they could sell for thousands.

On the grassland, people had their own standards for judging Mongolian Mastiffs.

The herders quite liked Mongolian Mastiffs and were willing to spend money on them.

After all, buying a Mongolian robe costs thousands, buying a good dog certainly makes them willing to spend more.

Jiang Feng walked towards where the sheep were grazing.

Coincidentally, the herding dogs were all resting.

Coal Ball lay lazily as well.

"Coal Ball!"

Jiang Feng called out.

Hearing Jiang Feng’s voice, Coal Ball got up and trotted leisurely towards Jiang Feng.

This Mongolian Mastiff was extremely majestic.

Standing beside Jiang Feng, it looked just like a bodyguard.

"Xiaojin Hua and Xiao Yue both have wives."

"Tomorrow, I’ll take you to pick a wife too."

Jiang Feng said to Coal Ball.

Coal Ball didn’t react much to Jiang Feng’s words.

It seemed indifferent to these matters.

Jiang Feng thought that if Coal Ball was indeed willing to breed, not only would there be a recompense, but he would also need a Little Mongolian Mastiff as a reserve team.

With this, the ranch would never be short of dogs in the future.
