Inside the greenhouse, grape trellises were set up, and Jiang Feng began cultivating grape seedlings. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He also planted some strawberries, watermelons, and cantaloupes along the way.

He divided the areas and led the employees to work, planting fruit seeds in different fields. After two busy days, they finally finished.

In the future, he just needs to come by every couple of days to water and fertilize.

That evening, Jiang Feng settled the recent popularity value.

Due to not streaming frequently, Jiang Feng’s current daily popularity value is steady at around 1.2 million.

Currently, the cumulative popularity value is 23 million.

Jiang Feng decisively chose to participate in the lottery.

"The host chooses the Top Level Lottery, drawing..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item:"

"Richard Mille rose gold diamond watch: a luxury watch, currently priced at 2 million in retail."

"Patek Philippe 5204R watch: a luxury watch, currently priced at 2.46 million in retail."

Hearing that both lottery draws yielded watches, though they are worth millions, Jiang Feng was not too pleased.

Million-level watches are not much needed by him; better to sell them and buy some cattle and sheep.

"The host chooses the Advanced Lottery, drawing....."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item:"

"Special chive seeds: incredibly effective chive seedlings, greatly beneficial to men’s health."

"Special potato seeds: taste-enhancing potato seeds, can grow high-quality potatoes."

"Anti-Parasite Medicine *100 bottles: external deworming solution, optimal effect when a bottle is dissolved in 20L of water."

This time, the rewards from the Advanced Lottery were quite good.

At least they are useful for production purposes.

The next day, Jiang Feng planted both the chive and potato seeds.

It will take some time to deworm the lambs, so there is no rush.

Spring life is always busy, with lots of things to do daily.

Feeding, physical exams, caring, and over at the cattle farm, the stud bulls began breeding; with too much production, Jiang Feng initially didn’t want to sell the bulls’ essence, but later agreed.

Because for the stud bulls, once a week is underestimating them.

The chives and potatoes are growing rapidly.

Jiang Feng plans to make a gift box with these matured items and give some to the neighbors. A light gift carries deep affection.

It’s normal for everyone to exchange local specialties.

In spring, everything revives, lambs are born, seeds are sown.

Just waiting for the autumn harvest.

At the same time, Jiang Feng and Liu Yiyi’s chats became increasingly intimate.

Both families have begun discussing wedding plans.

After all, they are somewhat prominent figures locally, so the wedding should be grand.

Jiang Feng, however, isn’t very concerned.

Marriage is about two families; as long as the parents and the wife are happy, that’s all that matters.

He’s not really concerned with formalities himself.

In truth, most men are like this, but still need to show enthusiasm; otherwise, the wife might not be pleased.

Furthermore, the sales from Jiang Feng’s winery are climbing, and Jiang Shan busily acquired two more distilleries, really getting the business off the ground now.

At least financially, Jiang Feng got a real taste of what it feels like for money to generate more money.

With the winery funds, Jiang Feng could take things more at ease.

The next day, Jiang Feng went to Xilinhot City Zoo.

He started a live stream at the zoo.

This zoo is established relying on a small mountain, with a large parking lot below, and the entrance is adorned with animal icons.

"Today we come to the zoo for a live broadcast to see the animals here."

"The zoo has the legal qualification to domesticate wild animals, so you can see many wild animals here."

"The zoo’s revenue mainly comes from tourism and government subsidies, but currently, with decreasing tourist numbers, the zoo finances are somewhat difficult."

"I heard that gradually, the animals might be sold to other zoos."

Jiang Feng stood at the zoo entrance and spoke to everyone.

[Master Jiang, the animals you raise outnumber those in the zoo!]

[Yes, Master Jiang, your ranch could sell tickets like a zoo, guaranteed to be a hit!]

[Go buy the tigers from the zoo. I want to see you raising tigers!]

Jiang Feng glanced at the comments.

To be honest, he really wants to raise a few tigers, but sadly it’s not allowed in the country.

The zoo director, Li Dashan, is a middle-aged man, appearing somewhat weathered, with a worried look.

Jiang Feng came to live stream here, and he specially accompanied him, hoping to gain some fame in the process.

After a brief exchange, Jiang Feng introduced Li Dashan to the audience.

"Director Li, can you introduce the current status of the zoo to everyone?"

Jiang Feng asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Dashan nodded and promptly introduced:

"Xilinhot City Zoo is a public zoo, currently home to many nationally protected first-class animals, for instance, we have Northeast Tigers, South China Tigers, leopards, as well as giraffes, red-crowned cranes, red pandas, and reindeer."

"The park has two main responsibilities: one is sightseeing tours, and the other is shouldering the responsibility of protecting wild animals."

"After all, the living environment for wild animals is too harsh now, and often the outside can no longer meet their living needs."

"More care is needed from the zoo."

Jiang Feng nodded and added:

"Yes, human activity ranges have expanded now, and the range for wild animals has become very small."

"For example, tigers: the official count gives only 27 wild Northeast Tigers in the country, while the wild South China Tiger was long declared extinct."

"But in zoos across the country, the total number of tigers exceeds 5,000."

"All major zoos have tigers."

The two walked inside as they talked.

In reality, Jiang Feng is not only a ranch owner, but because he has saved many animals before, he is also recognized as an "Outstanding Model for Wildlife Protection" by the Forestry and Grassland Bureau.

Whether wild animals can be privately kept is also decided by the Forestry and Grassland Bureau.

The first place they went to was the Tiger Garden.

At the moment, in the park, there are about five big tigers idly resting.

Seeing them, Jiang Feng suddenly became interested, his eyes lit up a bit.

He approached the viewing platform and looked down.

Perhaps sensing the feline affinity on Jiang Feng,

two tigers immediately approached him, looking up at him.

Then, the other three tigers also came over.

Director Li Dashan saw this scene and was somewhat amazed:

"These tigers usually don’t bother with people."

"Today they’re unusually enthusiastic."

"Maybe it’s because the park has been closed recently and they haven’t seen people for several days."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng also smiled and then asked:

"Can these tigers be touched?"

Upon hearing him say this, Li Dashan was slightly stunned, then replied:

"These tigers, even the zookeepers generally don’t get close to them, as they’re large predators."

"However, over at our breeding room, there are two little tigers and two little leopards."

"Those can be touched."

"But make sure to disinfect properly."

Jiang Feng questioned: "Even the zookeepers don’t go inside? I remember some places where zookeepers directly go into the tiger area to clean up."

Li Dashan laughed: "That’s for tigers raised from a young age, and the zookeepers have to be at the zoo every day. Sometimes staff shift around, so they’re fed through the park barriers."

"These tigers, though bred for several generations, still retain their wildness. If they hurt someone, that wouldn’t be good."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng nodded.

This is normal, considering that very few people dare to approach tigers closely.

The internet says, "I could just slide and cut open the tiger’s belly," but in reality, you might not even start sliding before the tiger pins you down and bites you to death.

Then, the two went to see the little tigers.

Jiang Feng put on a dust-proof suit and simply disinfected.

He entered the small yard, and surprisingly, without the zoo staff’s prompt, the two little tigers and two little leopards ran straight to Jiang Feng.

They’re all feline animals, and they’re all young of large felines.

These four little ones are extremely cute, their looks are outstanding!

They make anyone who sees them feel an overload of cuteness!

Jiang Feng directly picked up a little tiger, and the little guy wasn’t afraid of Jiang Feng. Instead, it climbed up Jiang Feng’s chest as if trying to get up to Jiang Feng’s head.

The other little tigers and leopards were also very happy.

Li Dashan was surprised:

"Master Jiang, you are quite impressive, these little ones are really close to you."

"They’ve never been like this."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng picked up a little leopard, stroked it, and replied:

"I can’t say for sure either. At my own ranch, besides a Tabby Cat that only comes when called, all other cats feel close to me, and even the wild Mangalitsa."

"I can’t quite explain the reason."

Jiang Feng carefully looked at the little leopard in front of him.

Honestly, although the leopard isn’t as imposing as a tiger, nor as wild as a lion, it has its own unique temperament.

There’s a touch of agility beneath its cuteness."

The zoo had prepared a bottle of milk for Jiang Feng.

Feeding milk was something Jiang Feng was very familiar with; he regularly fed little lambs, and he had fed Border Collies and cats before.

It was right up his alley."

Jiang Feng fed the little tigers and leopards with the milk bottle.

The drinking style of the three cute ones was relatively normal, drinking upwards.

However, one little tiger was a bit strange; it lay on the ground, holding the bottle with all four feet, and sucked intensely.

This scene was particularly amusing.

Jiang Feng then played with the little tigers and leopards in the park.

Netizens seeing this scene felt comfortable as well."

After leaving the tiger area, Jiang Feng temporarily aimed the livestream at the tiger garden, then privately discussed with Li Dashan about whether the zoo could be contracted.

There are indeed private zoos, and private zoos can keep wild animals.

But as the times have progressed, most private zoos have been phased out and are now all public."

Li Dashan saw Jiang Feng’s intention and said to him:

"Becoming the Director of this zoo will be difficult, as managing a zoo requires time."

"The Director must be around often and can’t leave."

"You’re a ranch owner, with a heap of matters to handle there, so you can’t manage both."

"But it’s not impossible, as from the Forestry and Grassland Bureau’s perspective, zoos can have owners."

"Just as local governments contract scenic areas to developers, most are run by private owners."

"As an owner, as long as you adhere to the wildlife protection regulations, everything here is under your control."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng was deep in thought.
