Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 297 - 294: Footwork—This Skill Belongs on the National Soccer Team!

The next day, Jiang Feng arrived at the management area of Maodeng Ranch.

On the grassland, the pasture area and the factories are completely separate, any factory that causes pollution cannot be set up near the grassland.

Here, grass resources are well protected.

However, some workshops without pollution can exist.

For example, small workshops that help herdsmen turn camel hair into quilts, or dairy product workshops, and so forth.

As long as there is no industrial waste.

Also, the brewery.

There’s a brewery here, built by wealthy investors, mostly focusing on wine.

The wine market is a decent investment, if you know the inside scoop, you can earn quite a bit.

Jiang Feng wasn’t thinking that much, he just wanted to brew some homemade farm wine.

Coincidentally, his father Jiang Shan was quite interested in this business.

Jiang Feng could leave the brewery business to his dad and just wait to count the money.

Striving to be an even richer second-generation heir.

They took over the farmhouse brewery, and then Jiang Feng and Jiang Shan discussed the confidentiality of the wine recipe. Jiang Shan was worried that if he got drunk, he might let slip about the recipe, so he told Jiang Feng he would handle the recipe.

All that’s needed is to provide the yeast and control the material ratio.

Just like that, Jiang Shan busied himself with the farmhouse homemade wine business.

Jiang Feng didn’t need to manage too much.

Jiang Feng returned to his ranch, continuing to busy himself with the ranch business and also the live streaming.

The following day, Jiang Feng went to the sheep pen to check the health of the sheep.

Veterinarian Lin Wansen accompanied him.

The live stream was also on.

Lin Wansen said, "Currently, there are approximately fifteen hundred pregnant ewes. Initially, the pregnancy period was short, so they were allowed to graze outside. Now, they’re all kept in the pen."

"We ventilate and disinfect daily. After examination, these ewes don’t have any major issues."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng looked at the calm ewes in the pen and nodded.

As the ranch owner, his main concern is naturally the livestock situation.

Seeing the flock stable, Jiang Feng felt a lot more at ease.

Next, Jiang Feng went outside the sheep pen.

He said to the viewers in the live stream:

"We’re going to have a big task today, slightly intense, minors please watch with parental guidance."

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, everyone’s curiosity was instantly piqued.

[Master Jiang, what’s the big task? So mysterious?]

[Stop teasing, spill the beans quickly!]

Seeing the comments, Jiang Feng replied directly:

"Today, we need to clean some dumpsites on the ranch and have called in the garbage truck."

"There are several large garbage bins on the ranch, which are cleaned periodically."

"Usually under the garbage bins, there are a lot of mice."

"In any ranch or farm, mice are plentiful, it’s impossible to eradicate them completely."

"So you need to raise more cats and foxes, to form a mouse-catching team, which helps control the mouse numbers on the ranch."

"Today is the day to catch mice again."

"There will be a lot of mice running around shortly, viewers who are afraid of mice, prepare in advance."

Jiang Feng’s words evoked everyone’s interest.

Everyone is interested in cats catching mice.

After all, hardly anyone is a "mouse enthusiast," who would speak for the mice.

On the contrary, there are more people who dislike mice, and seeing cats catch mice makes them happier.

At this moment, a garbage truck drove into the ranch.

Accompanied by an excavator.

As soon as the two vehicles entered, the cats on the ranch moved at the scent.

Rushing over towards the dumpsite.

Cat Boss, Cat the Second, the Black Cat, along with two foxes, and a weasel.

The mouse-catching team, once again assembled.

Xiaojin Hua also ran over to watch, though uninterested in catching mice, at most chasing one and pouncing on it, then letting it go.

There were many animals surrounding the dumpsite.

Then, the garbage collectors began to clean the garbage cans, and the tractor lifted the giant metal garbage bin.

As soon as the bin left the ground, a dozen mice scattered and fled.

[Whoa!]

Seeing the scene of mice fleeing, the viewers felt their scalp tingling.

It looked quite scary.

And the mouse-catching team rushed forward immediately.

The Tabby Cat ran fastest, the weasel also sprang swiftly, and Little Fox was quick in its movements.

At this time, a Golden Eagle swooped down from the sky, catching a mouse with its talons, pressing it to the ground.

Though the mice looked scary, seeing the mouse-catching team catching mice one by one, viewers inexplicably felt relieved.

[So terrifying, so many mice!]

[Fortunately, there are cats!]

[The mice actually hide in such places!]

[Grassland hares are numerous, nothing surprising.]

Everyone was discussing.

Jiang Feng watched from the side, explaining:

"That’s the way it is in the ranch, so Cat Boss has an important role here, as do the foxes."

In the live stream, Cat Boss stood out, carrying several mice in its mouth consecutively.

The small Tabby Cat seemed to take Cat Boss as a role model, especially liking to imitate Cat Boss’s posture.

After catching a mouse, Cat Boss would tilt its head up, satisfied.

The little one mimicked it, tilting its head up.

Making imitation the key feature.

These kinds of things happen frequently on the ranch; Xiaojin Hua must learn to herd sheep just like her father Lucky.

The Tabby Cat will also learn from Cat Boss.

The main theme is about a bloodline heritage.

The Little Fox happily chirps along.

The garbage truck owner, looking at this scene, couldn’t help but laugh and say:

"Master Jiang, the animals on your ranch are quite impressive, they catch mice with precision."

"I went to several places where mice were running wildly, and no one cared."

"There were only a few stray cats around, and they looked rather dirty and didn’t bother catching mice."

Jiang Feng replied:

"They’ve been like this since they were young. My mom got some rural cats from the mountains, which have been catching mice since they were small. The later kittens followed suit and learned."

Netizens discussed enthusiastically:

[I have three cats at home, and the other day a mouse came in, and the three of them ran faster than me!]

[That’s how house cats are, even the rural cats now act like this!]

[Why bother catching mice when you can get by just by being cute!]

[Cat Boss is still the coolest, it’s so fast!]

[The strongest Tabby Cat on the Internet!]

Cat Boss is currently the hottest Tabby Cat online.

Lazily confident, with a touch of Long Aotian’s spirit, but on a kitten, this spirit becomes even more adorable.

The garbage was quickly cleared away, and the mice that had run out were captured by the cat army.

Because there were too many mice, the accompanying dogs helped out.

However, the dogs found the mice too dirty; the Border Collie, especially smart, would just pin down the mice, scare them a bit, and then let them go.

On the ranch, when dogs catch mice, it’s considered doing a proper job.

At this moment, a huge mouse, for some reason, suddenly darted directly towards Jiang Feng.

In its escape, the mouse couldn’t see far ahead, only nearby.

So, it had no idea what it was about to face.

Jiang Feng was startled too.

He had no fondness for mice.

Seeing the mouse quickly approaching, it was already at his feet in no time.

Then, an unexpected scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

Jiang Feng suddenly swung his leg while exclaiming, "Oh my!"

The next moment, the mouse was kicked into the air.

It was truly sent flying.

Netizens saw the mouse transform into a parabolic arc, shooting straight up into the sky, flying quite far.

This entire sequence was inseparable from Jiang Feng’s agile reaction.

Jiang Feng’s response was so quick, the kick was precisely aimed and powerful.

The big mouse went flying way off, akin to a powerful soccer kick.

The drone captured the scene clearly.

Furthermore, thanks to the drone’s dynamic capture technology, it continued filming as the mouse flew into the distance.

Netizens were stunned for a few seconds.

Then, the live chat exploded with comments.

[Holy! That mouse just flew up in the sky?!]

[Mouse: Goodbye Mom, I’m sailing away tonight!]

[What a waste Master Jiang isn’t on the national team!]

[Poor mouse, hahahaha, sorry I couldn’t hold back!]

[Mouse: I can fly?]

The sudden occurrence amused viewers in the live broadcast room.

Jiang Feng’s actions are always so unexpected.

At this moment, Jiang Feng appeared calm, just saying:

"That startled me."

But looking at his relaxed demeanor, there wasn’t a hint of fear.

The giant iron garbage cans were quickly cleaned.

The bins were returned to their places.

The animals all ran off.

Jiang Feng didn’t bother with them much, and then went on a stroll with Xiaojin Hua, White Wolf, and the Mongolian Mastiff.

Although it’s winter now, these three aren’t too afraid of the cold.

Wolves are quite resistant to cold, the Mongolian Mastiff is chubby, and Xiaojin Hua has a good constitution; running in the snow doesn’t bother them at all.

Jiang Feng inspected the situation on the ranch.

During the bitter cold, things aren’t easy.

He then went to the outer pen to check on the camels.

Though the camels are in an open pen, it’s wrapped in leather to block the wind.

As long as it’s not windy, it’s not that cold.

At the moment, the camels are resting on the snow.

Snow clings to their fur, showing they’ve gone through quite a bit of wind and snow.

But their mental state is quite good.

"After the New Year, it will be spring. As spring arrives, the weather improves, and the ranch becomes busier."

"Then the main task is receiving the spring lambs."

"It’s the season when lambs are born."

"This is the annual life routine of the ranch."

Jiang Feng looked at the camels, speaking with hope.

This year, the ranch has developed steadily, and can continue like this for a while; everything is managed well.

Thus, Jiang Feng is quite hopeful for the new year.
