Drawing two skills in a row, Jiang Feng is in a great mood.
Moreover, both skills are passive abilities.
That's even better.
He's quite a laid-back person, not exactly a slacker, just not fond of working tirelessly day and night.
"Mosquito and Insect Exclusion Zone, Bird Affinity."
"Not bad."
He's always been low-key; even with these skills, he wouldn't brag about them intentionally.
Just enjoying the tranquility and beauty quietly on his own.
Jiang Feng goes to the yard, where the ranch employees are waiting for him.
The Border Collie is obediently lying on the ground.
Xiaojin Hua sees Jiang Feng coming, knows who its owner is, and immediately runs over, wagging its tail and acting cute.
"Eat, you don't have to wait for me."
Jiang Feng sits down and says with a smile.
"Let's start, this lamb was selected today." Niu Erhu is very enthusiastic, picks up a plate, and places fresh lamb into the boiling mushroom broth.
The plate is filled with a variety of fresh meats, vegetables, some unique Mongolian Grassland desserts, and milk tea.
While eating, the three Border Collies patiently wait to be fed on the side.
Their eyes are bright and full of energy.
"Today we make do with the milk tea, when the cows arrive tomorrow, we can have fresh milk." The female worker Gelya also says.
Hearing everyone's words, Jiang Feng says, "The cattle and sheep have just been transported over, and the surrounding pasture conditions are not yet familiar, everyone needs to work a bit harder recently."
"Old Ma, contact the quarantine center, let's disinfect the sheep in a few days, with so many sheep, any disease would be troublesome."
"The ranch will definitely grow bigger in the future, and our lives will definitely improve!"
When Jiang Feng finishes speaking, everyone responds with smiles.
The group spends time together day and night, so they know each other's character quite well.
These are all veteran ranch employees with good character; otherwise, they wouldn't have worked in their home for so long.
Jiang Feng is not just a boss who talks big, but genuinely offers everyone generous treatment.
The mushroom broth in the hot pot gets hotter, and everyone mixes the condiments, enjoying lamb while chatting, laughter constantly echoing.
....
The next morning.
Jiang Feng gets up around six-thirty.
In the summer, it gets light earlier, so starting work early is necessary.
Today, Yang Maolin and Ma He are responsible for herding the sheep.
Jiang Feng plans to handle the cattle and sheep at the ranch, with time to visit the grassland.
Actually, Jiang Feng wants to explore deep into the grassland, where nature is wilder, one can see birds of prey and wild rabbits, and traces of wolves.
But now that the ranch is just starting to be built, there's still a lot of work at hand, Jiang Feng can't leave yet.
Everyone has some breakfast, then tidies up the ranch.
Jiang Feng has already started the livestream, with the content written as 'Sheep herding starts at eight.'
The number of people in the livestream keeps growing.
Until eight in the morning.
Yang Maolin and Ma He open the gate to the sheepfold.
Yang Maolin shouts, "Time to herd the sheep!"
Then, the ranch's flock of sheep starts to walk out of the sheepfold.
At this moment, although it is eight in the morning, the vast grassland is devoid of mist, and the sunlight brightens the entire steppe.
The drone captures a bird's-eye view.
People see through the livestream lens that a large mass of sheep are leaving the ranch, heading towards the open grassland.
Just watching this frame makes one feel refreshed.
[The sheep are out!]
[Looks so cool!]
[I wish I had such a big ranch!]
[Oddly relieving!]
[Second day of envying the life of a farmer!]
[Can I apply for a job at the ranch?]
Netizens leave comments in the chat, the atmosphere in the livestream is relaxed and lively.
Jiang Feng stands at the ranch gate, watching the sheep disappear into the distance.
Lucky and Wealthy herd sheep while occasionally turning their heads to glance at Jiang Feng.
These two Border Collies were raised by Jiang Feng and are closest to him at home.
Whenever he returns home, the two Border Collies will follow him.
But seeing Jiang Feng not coming along to herd the sheep, the two Border Collies run further away with the flock.
Xiaojin Hua sits at Jiang Feng's feet, staring into the distance where the sheep are headed.
"Woof woof!"
It lets out a couple of soft barks, showing some anticipation, appearing eager to herd sheep itself.
"Wait until you grow up a bit,"
Jiang Feng senses its thoughts, smiles, and says to it.
The drone continues filming the direction of the flock.
The grassland is vast, and the sheep move slowly.
But the herders are not in a hurry; after all, the whole point of herding sheep is to have no destination. As long as the sheep are full, that's good.
Just to manage the grass on the pasture, herders choose one area at a time for grazing, which allows the grass time to recover.
At this moment, Jiang Feng's phone rang.
Early in the morning, sheep from his family's place began to be transported over.
The grass at home has almost worn out and needs a few years to recover. The sheep haven't eaten fresh grass for a while, so the family is quite anxious.
So, in the following time, Jiang Feng started to get busy accepting the sheep.
Truckloads of sheep were brought over, along with dairy cows and beef cattle. Thanks to the efforts of the staff, all the sheep entered the pen.
At first, the sheep were a bit frightened and panicked, but after eating fresh grass, their emotions gradually stabilized.
During a break, Jiang Feng said to the viewers:
"Today, the cows and sheep should all arrive."
"Right now, the cows and sheep on the ranch aren't many. After some more development and stabilization, I'll buy more cows and sheep, and then raise some other small animals."
"I quite enjoy raising animals."
Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, the viewers responded:
[Rancher, aren't these cows and sheep already a lot?]
[The stream host is indeed wealthy!]
[What other animals are you planning to raise? Can you raise elephants?]
[Elephants live in tropical rainforests, this is a grassland, totally unrelated!]
[Raise tigers! Pandas are also fine!]
[Why not raise crocodiles?]
Jiang Feng saw everyone's comments and couldn't help but smile.
"To be honest, if tigers and pandas could be raised, I would really want to raise them, spending hundreds of thousands to raise one would be worth it to me."
"But I strictly follow the country's laws; if the forestry and environmental bureaus say no, I won't touch them."
"For example, in Europe, they sell raptors, mainly falcons, a good falcon can cost hundreds of thousands."
"Actually, I really want to buy one, but we are not allowed to trade these raptors here, so I have to give up."
Jiang Feng was sharing his thoughts with everyone.
Sometimes, he even thinks about opening a large zoo, raising lions and tigers, but that kind of investment would cost billions, and it's difficult to operate a private zoo now, so he can only dream about it.
However, Jiang Feng genuinely loves animals and enjoys raising them.
He finds a lot of joy in it.
Raising animals is considered one of the greatest joys of his life.
[Haha, I want to do what the host wants too, but unfortunately, I can only dream about it.]
[Many millionaires love raising animals. The ones I know are Yu Qian and Sun Yue, who raise many large animals.]
[No worries, watching the livestream feels like I'm raising them too!]
[Hit follow, cloud herding!]
Jiang Feng was both inspecting the ranch and chatting with the viewers.
He went to the yard, planning to have some water.
At that moment, the sound of wings flapping echoed.
This sound was very familiar to Jiang Feng.
However, this time there was something slightly off about the flapping.
Like pigeons flapping in a dovecote, the sound was constant but didn't move away or come closer.
"Listen, there's the sound of wings flapping, it's a raptor!"
"A raptor has descended!"
Jiang Feng exclaimed suddenly, then immediately abandoned the idea of drinking water and hurried toward the direction of the sound.
The drone followed closely.
The viewers were also very enthusiastic.
When Jiang Feng entered the yard, he finally saw what was happening.
On the ranch wall, there were many hung sausages, all made from premium beef.
At this moment, a raptor grabbed the sausage with its claws, and got stuck on it, unable to break free.
The sausage was naturally quite hard and hung securely.
So, for the time being, this raptor was trapped on the dried sausages.
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Feng was stunned, looking at the raptor with a dumbfounded expression.
The raptor seemed familiar to Jiang Feng because it was exactly that Golden Eagle which stole his ribs last night.
"The Golden Eagle is back!"
"But it's not very clever and its eyesight isn't great."
"You don't eat cooked food, what's the point of grabbing dried sausages!"
Jiang Feng chuckled and teased.
He looked at the Golden Eagle.
The Golden Eagle was not yet mature, so its size wasn't too large, but still looked quite impressive.
This creature flapped its wings several more times upon seeing Jiang Feng, but its claws were hooked on the sausage and could not fly away.
It appeared slightly panicked, uttering a few sharp cries.
"Don't be afraid, I won't harm you!"
Jiang Feng gently comforted.
At the same time, his skill "Bird Affinity" started to take effect.
