Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 376: Chapter 373: A New Plan—Visiting Kangaroos and Koalas!

Handicraft workshop area.

Liu Yiyi handed Jiang Feng a cup of yogurt, and a smile naturally appeared on her face.

Jiang Feng took the yogurt, scooped it with a spoon, and ate a few bites.

The yogurt tasted excellent, comparable to big brands.

"With the taste of this yogurt, you could open a shop." Jiang Feng couldn’t help but express admiration.

"I also learned to make it; making yogurt is quite interesting." Liu Yiyi responded happily.

The two chatted lively, sweetly engaging in their conversation.

"You should go back to live stream; isn’t the stream still filming over at the Tiger Garden?"

"If you don’t go back soon, the viewers in the live stream will get anxious."

After some teasing, Liu Yiyi remembered the situation with the live stream and mentioned it again.

"Alright, I’ll stream for a while; let’s have lunch here together later."

Jiang Feng stood up, held his wife and kissed her on the cheek, then left.

Liu Yiyi felt a little embarrassed, but since no one saw, it was okay.

Jiang Feng returned to the live camera, just as Hu Weimin was about to feed the tigers, so Jiang Feng joined him.

Here, they directly feed raw meat, ordering processed whole chickens from a chicken farm and simply tossing the chicken meat in.

Sometimes they also throw in raw pork.

The feeding at Jiang Feng’s ranch is considered quite lavish.

In fact, in most zoos, animals are routinely short-changed on food.

For instance, if a tiger’s daily food cost is two hundred, the person in charge might only spend a hundred on cheaper meat but still report two hundred.

Anyway, no one can verify if it’s true, allowing them to pocket the extra hundred.

But not at Jiang Feng’s place; after all, it’s privately raising tigers, so no short-changing occurs.

The little tiger has also started eating meat, making feeding much easier.

After feeding the tigers, Jiang Feng headed back.

"It’s almost lunchtime; let’s go check on the alpacas."

"The alpacas are all housed here; the place is lively daily, and quite interesting."

Jiang Feng informed the viewers in the live stream.

He has five alpacas in a small garden here.

The current tourist ranch is being crafted to feel more like a scenic spot, increasingly gaining an artistic ambiance.

Some animals that like people are kept here.

[Ranch Owner, do you have too many types of animals?]

[Is there anything else you want to raise?]

Many viewers started asking questions.

Seeing everyone’s questions, Jiang Feng replied:

"There are many animals I want to raise, but the environment of the pasture is limited."

"There are many animals worldwide, and each is unique in its way."

"I would like to raise kangaroos or even quokkas."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s desire to raise kangaroos, everyone couldn’t hold back.

[Ranch Owner, I think you can do it, go for it!]

[Raise a few more; I want to see you box with kangaroos!]

[Raise some muscular kangaroos!]

As Jiang Feng walked back, he calmly said:

"Setting aside whether kangaroos can be bought, the climate conditions of the grasslands don’t allow for raising kangaroos."

"Kangaroos live in Australia, a tropical region."

"This place is in the northern frigid zone, with significant temperature differences between day and night, and it’s particularly cold."

"Now, those three zebras run into the barn at night and only go out during the day."

"Kangaroos can’t survive on the grassland."

Different places have different environments, and the species that live there are also different.

Some species like hot, humid environments, while others prefer cold, dry ones.

Habitat transfers can cause sickness and death.

Unless a fully enclosed venue is built to simulate the natural environment.

But in such cases, the construction cost is very high, and maintenance is also costly, needing at least tens of millions, which isn’t necessary.

"If they can’t be raised, we can always go see them."

"There’s not much happening at the ranch every day; I wanted to take my wife abroad to see some exotic animals and the natural scenery."

"But my wife prefers to stay close to our child, so we put the plan on hold."

Jiang Feng talked about his family affairs.

He loves animals; otherwise, he wouldn’t have returned to the grassland to take over the family business.

He even joined the ranger team to observe snow leopards.

It would be good to see other exotic animals firsthand.

This world is vast, with many animals.

For example, kangaroos in Australia, lions and hyenas, rhinos and elephants in Africa, or even killer whales would be nice to see.

[Ranch Owner, if you go, can you live stream? I definitely can’t afford to travel abroad, but I’d love to see!]

[Yeah, let us see as well!]

[I’m too busy at work, so I can only see those animals through the Ranch Owner!]

[Watching live streams and videos feels completely different, especially with a big group interacting, making it more enjoyable.]

The fans all chimed in.

"Don’t worry; if I go see wild animals, I’ll definitely live stream it."

Jiang Feng assured everyone.

Then, at noon, Jiang Feng took a break and temporarily closed the live stream.

Life at the ranch was already well organized, and he as the ranch owner didn’t have much to do.

He only needs to review the accounts monthly and contact the boss buying cattle and sheep; he can even remotely supervise.

With more employees, more tasks, more account reporting matters, and stable tourist ranch traffic.

Jiang Feng specifically hired two graduate students majoring in finance from Renmin University to serve as accountants.

There’s no choice; monthly payroll and accounting are too busy, so assistance is needed.

Both graduate students are girls, scholarly type, and work quite diligently, with no problems.

This way, Jiang Feng truly became idle.

Daily, he just raises cats, plays with dogs, or feeds tigers, watches zebras.

Of course, he also takes care of his child; as a father, he must look after his child.

The ranch’s development is very stable; with the current pasture area, it’s enough for the ranch to grow for a long time.

Without new pursuits, Jiang Feng felt a bit bored.

That evening, Jiang Feng chatted with his wife.

"There’s not much going on at the ranch; I want to go out."

"Let’s go on a trip for a while and return in half a month, just in time to create some live stream content."

"Now, the daily ranch live stream only has over twenty thousand viewers, whereas it used to reach fifty to sixty thousand."

Jiang Feng said while holding Liu Yiyi.

Being on the ranch for a long time, it’s still valuable to go out and see the scenery.

Thinking about the previous trip to Sanya, returning to the ranch afterward, Jiang Feng felt particularly happy seeing the animals again.

"Okay, I also want to travel."

Liu Yiyi also replied.

For contemporary young people, travel is one way to relieve stress.

Traveling is both tiring and costly, yet for some reason, people indulge in it; perhaps it’s for the saying, "The world is so big, you have to see it."

Of course, for Jiang Feng, money isn’t an issue, and it’s not very tiring; they usually travel for quite a long time.

The two discussed the child’s situation again, ultimately deciding to leave him with Mrs. Jiang.

After all, going out for a couple’s world is inconvenient with a child.

In the living room, Xiao Sanhua lay alone in her cat bed, comfortably enjoying the spacious mattress.

In the adjacent cat bed, several kittens nestled in the orange cat’s embrace; the orange cat was pressed by the kittens, contentedly settled.

Today’s young people seem the same, busy playing around.

Of course, the elderly are also happy to look after the children.

Mrs. Jiang doesn’t have much to do now, and having the child nearby is nice.

Moreover, Liu Yiyi’s parents also want to bring the grandson over for a few days, letting him experience the beauty of Hulunbei’er Grassland.

Hulunbei’er’s scenery is even more beautiful compared to Xilingol.

Everything was arranged appropriately.

Jiang Feng took his wife to Australia to see kangaroos and koalas.

Additionally, Jiang Feng wanted to see the grassland scenery here and the life of the local ranchers.

The area is also wide and sparsely populated, with people mainly concentrated in some prosperous areas while large areas remain scarcely populated.

Hence, some have set up ranches here.

Jiang Feng’s plan is to stay in a ranch for a while now.

And this ranch owner is the one from whom Jiang Feng is renting the pasture now; he rented it for thirty years; given the circumstances, the ranch owner doesn’t intend to return home and even plans to sell the entire Maodeng Ranch pasture to Jiang Feng.

A total of over 34,000 hectares.

Jiang Feng is now a member of Maodeng Cooperative Zone and already owns 5,000 hectares of pasture completely, the area where the tourist ranch is located, all of which is Jiang Feng’s own.

The rest of the pasture is still rented.

But thirty years is already a long time; to a young man in his twenties, two more thirty years also means approaching retirement.

Unique grassland scenery, unique cute animals.

Jiang Feng is indeed full of anticipation for this trip.
