Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 380: Chapter 377: The Puffed-Up Toad, Like an Angry Girlfriend?

The helicopter pilot license theoretical exam was easily passed.

The next step is practical training.

In the helicopter simulation training room, Jiang Feng said to his coach, Liu Wu:

"Coach Liu, I’ve learned to fly a helicopter before, I’m familiar with it."

"Let me just observe for a bit, rack up some flight hours, and then I’ll go straight to the actual flying."

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the coach naturally didn’t believe him.

However, when Jiang Feng sat in the simulator, skillfully operating all the functionalities, even handling emergency situations perfectly, the coach was completely convinced.

But Liu Wu still said:

"The simulator and actual flying are completely different."

"It’s like driving a car, no matter how good you are at games, the first time you drive a real car you’ll still be flustered."

Jiang Feng nodded and replied:

"When I was in Australia, I flew a helicopter, it was alright."

With Jiang Feng’s experience in flying, things became much easier.

According to the process, he could get his license in about a month.

Jiang Feng lingered here for a few days before returning to his ranch.

The next step is to buy a small helicopter, then report to the local flight squadron, and as long as he flies only over his own pasture, he can fly and watch over it from a helicopter.

In the future, he will take a flight every couple of days to patrol.

This helicopter is his new ride.

Off-road vehicles, luxury motorcycles, Red Hare, camels, donkeys...

Jiang Feng’s rides have once again been updated.

This time, it’s even more impressive, he’s literally taking to the skies.

As an extravagant ranch owner, he’s quite fitting for his identity.

Getting the license is proceeding in full swing, and the daily ranch livestream continues.

It is the late summer season, and the grass is lush.

The swans in the lake have flown back again.

Jiang Feng stood by the lake, observing the flock of swans below.

"These are the swans from last year, look at the one with a scar on its head."

"And those two male swans, I’ve been watching them for a long time, always snuggling together, they look quite gay!"

"And that lead swan, the largest and fiercest one, it also returned this year."

"Some of the unfamiliar faces should be the young swans that grew up."

"Who knows where they went, maybe just as Koppli said, they flew over the Himalayas and returned to the north."

"Quite intriguing."

Jiang Feng said leisurely.

White Wolf lay quietly beside him.

Xiaojin Hua now loves to watch the kids every day and always stays by their side, Jiang Feng just lets it be.

As for White Wolf... Liu Yiyi thinks it’s not good to have the wolf next to the kids.

White Wolf was thus shunned.

So, Jiang Feng let White Wolf follow him instead.

White Wolf didn’t mind at all, it didn’t have much feelings for the kids anyway, after all, it doesn’t even raise its own offspring, it was happier following Jiang Feng.

The scene by the lake is always beautiful.

The lake filled with swans, and some playful ducks.

A dashing young man, a handsome White Wolf.

Only in Jiang Feng’s livestream can you see such a vast and wild scene.

The ranch’s ducks only stay in a small area, watching the distant swans, a little unsure of where these big guys came from.

But birds don’t have the habit of driving away other animals, everyone can coexist peacefully at the lake, even blending together.

Jiang Feng, looking at the ducks and swans, said:

"I now feel like the story of The Ugly Duckling might be true."

"Maybe the writer of the fairy tale was sitting in a place like this, observing a scene like this, and got the inspiration to come up with The Ugly Duckling."

The livestream scene is quite atmospheric.

[The ranch owner is so romantic, I’m a bit uncomfortable!]

[What’s to be uncomfortable about, I just enjoy watching him act cool effortlessly!]

[This feels really nice, I wish I had a lake like this too!]

[The ducks and swans really are growing up together!]

Jiang Feng, feeling the breeze of the grassland, was in great spirits.

At this moment, a dull croak of a frog broke the tranquility of the environment beside him.

Hearing this sound, Jiang Feng immediately turned his head towards the direction of the croak.

White Wolf also stood up, lowering its head to look at the ground.

In the grass was a fist-sized large toad, its whole body yellow-brown, adorned with some spots.

This guy was plump and round, obviously well-fed and full.

"Tsk, a toad."

Jiang Feng said somewhat disgustedly.

He doesn’t quite like such animals.

"This toad is called an air toad, its belly is puffed up as if it’s angry."

"The more you poke at it, the higher its belly swells."

"Kids in the village used to love teasing them by the river!"

As he was speaking, White Wolf stretched out its front paw, gently touching the toad.

The toad immediately propped itself up, raised its head, its belly swelling greatly, emitting a loud, clamorous croak.

This toad was really angry, its belly swelled bigger and bigger, at its largest it seemed somewhat transparent, making one feel it could burst at any moment.

"This guy, encountering an enemy, only knows how to get angry, it has no other tricks."

"I even worry it might get itself angry to death."

Jiang Feng couldn’t help but chuckle.

[Haha, doesn’t it look like your girlfriends!]

[If you say so, I can only silently like this!]

[Hmph, I’m angry, aren’t you going to comfort me!]

[I want to screenshot this and send it to my girlfriend!]

[Let me give you all some advice: don’t court death! Less trouble is better than more!]

Just then, White Wolf got a wild idea when it saw the puffed-up toad and was about to open its big mouth to bite it.

"Don’t eat it!"

Jiang Feng quickly spoke up to stop White Wolf’s action.

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, White Wolf immediately stopped.

"Why are you eating it? It’s poisonous too."

"Besides, toads are good for the ecosystem, they eat mosquitoes."

"There are so many mosquitoes on this lake, it’s all up to them. Let it live."

Jiang Feng added.

White Wolf glanced at the puffed-up toad, then ran back to Jiang Feng’s side.

The toad faced Jiang Feng, and although Jiang Feng was much bigger, this guy had a stubborn temper and just wouldn’t run.

It just looked at you all puffed up, as if it was determined to stand its ground against Jiang Feng.

"What are you staring at? Don’t get so mad you’ll burst!"

Jiang Feng said to the puffed-up toad.

The toad seemed to understand Jiang Feng’s tone and its belly puffed up bigger and bigger, looking like it was really going to explode with anger.

No wonder the netizens just said the toad was exactly like an angry girlfriend.

This stubborn and sulky nature is indeed just like that.

Of course, most people wouldn’t dare to say such courting-death words.

Jiang Feng saw the toad’s puffed-up look and worried it might get so angry that it hurts itself, so he got up with White Wolf and walked away.

He continued to wander around.

In the distance, Hadan and Bugude were watching over the sheep on the pasture.

Two Border Collies and a Mongolian Mastiff were also helping.

The two of them saw Jiang Feng with White Wolf from afar, taking a walk.

"Hey! The manager’s here!"

Hadan shouted to Bugude, who was sleeping.

"So what if he’s here, why are you shouting? Nothing to worry about when sleeping, even the manager sleeps while watching the sheep, and they won’t go missing."

Bugude opened his eyes and replied to Hadan.

"Alright then, just tell the manager that, just say he sleeps too, so what’s wrong with me sleeping."

Hadan kindly reminded him, yet Bugude pretended not to care.

Bugude waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Before long, Jiang Feng walked over with White Wolf, wanting to check on the lambs.

Hadan and Bugude walked towards him.

"Manager, don’t worry, we’re watching, the sheep are all fine!"

Bugude smiled broadly, looking full of energy.

Hadan inwardly sneered at him but also said:

"Absolutely nothing will go wrong."

Jiang Feng nodded. Although these two were a bit rash, they were very good at their work and had a nice demeanor.

Very lively.

"Alright, I’ll check on the lambs, you two keep resting, don’t follow me."

Jiang Feng waved his hand, telling them to go play on the side.

Then, Jiang Feng walked into the flock of sheep.

White Wolf didn’t follow him but went off to play with the Mongolian Mastiff.

"There are quite a few spring lambs born this year, we must take good care of them."

"The mortality rate for cattle and sheep is still quite high, in general farms it’s about ten percent."

"It’s a bit better here, but injuries and illnesses are inevitable."

"For sheep with colds, all you can say is, catch it early, eat it early."

Jiang Feng walked among the sheep, speaking calmly.

[Manager, are you a devil?]

[I thought it was ’catch it early, treat it early’, but it’s ’catch it early, eat it early’?]

[Did you ask the sheep’s opinion? What did the sheep say?]

[Asked, the sheep said ’baa baa baa.’]

[Hahaha, how can words so cold come out of a 36-degree mouth!]

The live chat immediately became lively.

Most herders are like this; if they have to eat sheep, they’ll definitely eat the ones with colds.

After all, in a few days, they’ll be eating sheep anyway.

Jiang Feng himself rarely eats lambs, he usually raises them to full size before eating.

The spring lambs grow very fast.

Although they’re smaller than adult sheep, you can see they’re steadily gaining weight.

Herders hope most for cattle and sheep to gain weight, as every pound is an increase in wealth.

It’s like farmers watching their fields yield a bountiful harvest.

"The weight gain of this year’s spring lambs is quite good."

"But the price of sheep isn’t that high, so the profits are just about balanced."

"The pasture is developing quite steadily."

Jiang Feng, as a large ranch owner, sighed with emotion.

Regarding the ranch’s situation, he was relatively satisfied.

Then, Jiang Feng planned to stroll back.

This walk back would take about an hour and a half, quite far.

In the future, having a plane would be convenient, since the pasture is like his runway, he can land wherever he wants.

"The ranch is too big, once you leave it’s a whole day out, have to prepare some food for lunch, otherwise you can’t walk back."

Jiang Feng took out a box of biscuits, eating as he spoke.

[Damn, the owner is bragging again!]

[Other people’s talk of how big their home is is just boasting, the owner is probably underestimating it!]

[Tens of thousands of acres, what kind of concept is that!]

[Fight the landlords, divide the land! Brothers, charge with me!]

The live stream burst into noisy chatter, with lively comments.
