Chapter 233: Chapter 231: The Tibetan Fox Named Daji, A Novel Ingredient!

In the evening, Jiang Feng watched the Tibetan Foxes still playing by the lakeside.

"King Zhou, Daji, are you two going back?"

Jiang Feng shouted towards the two Little Tibetan Foxes in the distance.

Hearing his words, the two Little Tibetan Foxes tilted their heads, showing a puzzled expression.

At the same time, over a hundred thousand viewers in the livestream room were also full of questions.

[The host sure knows how to name them!]

[Although the Little Tibetan Foxes are cute, isn’t calling one Daji a bit too much?]

[Daji, hahaha, it’s fine to call one King Zhou because Tibetan Foxes look scruffy, but calling one Daji is irresistible!]

[This Daji has a sort of rugged beauty!] 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Comments flooded in.

Jiang Feng didn’t mind at all; he thought he gave them pretty good names.

The two Little Tibetan Foxes were still by the lake.

They just sat there, looking around.

As long as they’re not hungry, sitting like this makes them feel very comfortable.

The ducks in the lake ran ashore on their own, without any coaxing, and cheerfully waddled back.

As they passed by Jiang Feng, they quacked a few times, as if to greet the owner.

Jiang Feng was still watching the resting Tibetan Foxes.

It was clear they didn’t really want to go back.

At this point, Jiang Feng walked toward the rabbit burrow he spotted earlier.

Tibetan Foxes live in burrows but they don’t dig them; they usually occupy marmot burrows.

Of course, rabbit burrows work just fine too.

Jiang Feng called over the two Little Tibetan Foxes.

"If you don’t want to go back, just stay here."

"It’s quite nice here."

"Don’t worry, nothing will hurt you."

"This is my home too."

"But don’t come out at night, there might be wolves around."

Jiang Feng said, patting their heads.

The Little Tibetan Foxes perhaps didn’t understand.

Actually, as long as it’s not the wilderness, avoiding hungry lynxes and wolves, they can survive quite well.

They are experts at finding mice in burrows.

The farewell scene was a bit heartwarming.

Viewers in the livestream quietly watched.

Everyone loved the host’s interaction with the animals.

Seeing lively wild animals in such a cute way, everyone felt their hearts melt.

Such wild animals are rarely encountered by people.

The Little Tibetan Foxes sat at the entrance of the burrow, seemingly understanding Jiang Feng’s intentions.

Dusk was settling, and Jiang Feng planned to return to the ranch to rest, video chat with his girlfriend, and play games for a bit.

He walked away, then glanced back at the two Tibetan Foxes.

The little ones stared straight at him.

They seemed reluctant to leave Jiang Feng, hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly followed.

"Go back! You two, go back!"

Jiang Feng waved them off, signaling them to return.

The two Little Tibetan Foxes stayed put, not following anymore.

"I’m leaving, I’ll come see you again."

Jiang Feng bid them farewell and quickened his pace.

The two Little Tibetan Foxes leaned against one another, ran a few steps, and stood on the high slope by the lake, gazing afar at Jiang Feng’s back.

The drone above was still livestreaming the two Little Tibetan Foxes.

The Little Tibetan Foxes watched Jiang Feng, while the viewers watched the Little Tibetan Foxes.

This scene was particularly heartwarming.

[The Tibetan Foxes really don’t want the host to leave!]

[But ultimately, they are wild animals and better suited for life in the wild!]

[These two guys, the more you look at them, the more likable they are!]

[I’m a bit excited to see what they look like when they grow up.]

Comments continued to flow in.

Jiang Feng’s livestreams were always like this.

Relaxed, leisurely.

The Little Tibetan Foxes were settled; they liked life on the prairie, and whether they would occasionally visit the ranch was uncertain.

There were still two Little Foxes and a mature fox on the ranch.

The Red Fox really enjoyed living with humans.

Especially in human courtyards.

So they stayed on Jiang Feng’s ranch.

Jiang Feng walked across the prairie.

His prairie was vast, from afar, the ranch was just a small dot.

It would take forty to fifty minutes to reach.

Today, since he took the Tibetan Foxes out for a walk, he didn’t ride a horse, so the pace was slower.

He saw that the cows and sheep had returned to the ranch, likely drinking at the trough.

Now each day was just about feeding and watering, grazing was simple.

At this moment, Jiang Feng’s phone rang; he looked and saw it was a call from Hadan.

Jiang Feng promptly answered the phone.

"Host, went shopping for groceries today, saw something good."

"This thing, when made, is delicious!"

"Do you want to cook it?"

Hadan’s excited voice came through the phone.

Jiang Feng immediately asked, "What good thing?"

Hadan didn’t hold back, directly said:

"Went shopping with Uncle Sun today, saw crocodile meat for sale at the market; as soon as I mentioned it, Uncle Sun bought two."

"Though a bit pricey, the food budget is within standard."

Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback, "Crocodile?"

"Yes, there are places here with farms for aquatic crocodiles; they are completely edible, and it’s legal."

"They’ve already been processed and are in the fridge now."

Hadan excitedly explained to Jiang Feng.

This was indeed something new.

Jiang Feng had never eaten crocodile before.

"Alright, I’ll check it out once I return."

Jiang Feng immediately agreed.

Just as the livestream wasn’t busy, why not host a crocodile cooking show.

Jiang Feng was a skilled cook.

Jiang Feng directly told the viewers:

"Today, the ranch bought some novel ingredients, aquatic crocodile meat."

"Our area is thriving with farming, anything can be bred here."

"But crocodiles are more commonly farmed in the south, rarely seen on the prairie."

"Since it’s processed, I’ll take a look."

"But I’ll only be cooking, not necessarily eating."

Jiang Feng’s words immediately captured the viewers’ attention.

[What? Crocodiles can be eaten?]

[Nowadays, farm-raised crocodiles are plentiful! Many people in Fujian eat them!]

[Wow, learning something new in the host’s stream again!]

[Crocodile meat? Never had it!]

Comments erupted.

Jiang Feng continued:

"Farm-raised crocodiles, much like farm-raised Sika Deer, can be legally sold as meat if the paperwork is in order."

"I’ve heard about it, but never seen it myself."

"You can grill almost anything; grilling crocodile is no different from grilling lamb, the method is the same."

Jiang Feng spoke while walking back.

About forty minutes later, Jiang Feng returned to the ranch.

By then, Hadan and Bugude had already marinated the crocodile.

The crocodile had been cleaned, skinned, with its meat exposed, looking somewhat like fresh whole lamb.

Though it wasn’t as visually appealing as lamb, looked awkward somehow.

Jiang Feng knew Hadan and Bugude liked somewhat exotic meats, like wild boar and snake.

Jiang Feng wasn’t fond of unusual foods, like southern fried insects, fried centipedes, or grilled bamboo rats, he wouldn’t try those.

Crocodile counted as an exotic ingredient.

After the marination, just an hour passed before everyone couldn’t wait to start grilling it.

The process wasn’t much different from grilling whole lamb.

More and more viewers joined the livestream.

The stream labeled with "Farm-raised edible crocodile" silenced some uninformed mouths.

By the time the crocodile was grilled, it was already evening.

A crocodile feast was placed on the table, the meat crispy on the outside, tender inside, covered with red oil.

Jiang Feng sprinkled sesame seeds, cilantro, and chopped onions, making it truly delectable in appearance, aroma, and taste, stirring the appetite.

"Host, have a bite first."

Hadan thoughtfully sliced a piece of leg meat and handed it to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng eyed the piece of meat, feeling a slight hesitation, but after a moment decided to eat it.

He chewed lightly; crocodile meat felt distinctly different from lamb or beef, but as grilled meat mixed with various spices, it tasted quite nice.

"Hmm, not bad."

"Dip it in some chive flower sauce, guaranteed to be delicious."

Jiang Feng exclaimed.

Then, the other staff began to eat.

Old Sun was considerate, directly slicing the crocodile’s tail meat for Jiang Feng, as it looked the most plentiful and tasty.

Jiang Feng didn’t hold back, after streaming briefly for the viewers, he closed the stream and focused on enjoying the meal.

This experience was truly novel.
