Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 115 - 113: Bro, That’s a Savage Bet!

Jiang Feng rides his horse, galloping across the grassland.

The grassland is now completely yellowed and withered, but every day, the cattle and sheep still manage to nibble on some growth.

Jiang Feng inspects his grassland.

"The grassland ahead will become increasingly desolate."

"We’ll have to wait until spring for the grass to grow lush again."

Jiang Feng gazes into the distance, reflecting.

As the afternoon progresses to four o’clock, the wind on the grassland becomes biting.

At this moment, Jiang Feng notices a few withered plants on the ground. He rides his Red Rabbit Horse towards them and crushes all the plants.

Then, he dismounts, squats on the ground, picks up a dried grass stalk, and says to his viewers:

"Everyone, take a look at this; this is chive flower, a local specialty here, left over from a previous harvest."

"There are many chive flower seeds on top. When cattle and sheep pass by, they crush the chive flowers, and the seeds get buried in the soil."

"Next year, the chive flowers will grow again."

"Chive flower sauce tastes pretty good; we often dip beef and lamb in it. Many ranch owners sell chive flower sauce too."

"But I don’t run that kind of business; it’s just for my ranch folks to enjoy."

Jiang Feng educates everyone about the grassland’s plants.

[I’ve heard of chive flower sauce before, seems like someone is selling it!]

[I bought some, it tastes a bit salty!]

[You have to use less, dip it, can’t use too much like bean paste!]

[Mongolian specialty, depends on personal taste!]

Everyone responded one after another.

After strolling around the grassland, Jiang Feng checks the surroundings of the grassland, and upon confirming there are no issues, he rides his horse towards the ranch.

Before entering the ranch, several dogs come out to greet him.

Jiang Feng dismounts, leads Red Hare inside.

Big Black Back, Lucky and Wealthy, Golden Retriever follow him, along with Xiaojin Hua, Little White Wolf.

Seeing so many dogs here, Jiang Feng plans to improve their meals.

He tells his live-stream audience:

"Today, I’m going to prepare a good meal for the ranch’s dogs."

"They have it tough, so need some nutrition."

"No need to be too complicated, just make sure the ribs are softened for them to chew on the meat and marrow."

Jiang Feng first puts Red Hare back in the stables and feeds Red Hare some hay and fresh water.

Then, he heads to the ranch’s kitchen and retrieves two large blocks of lamb ribs.

The lamb ribs are quite intact, each rib is present, with a lot of fresh lamb meat still clinging to them.

The dogs, seeing Jiang Feng bring out the ribs, excitedly follow him.

The big dogs love eating them, while the little dogs can’t chew them yet.

The dogs’ meals are quite decent, often having a feast.

Jiang Feng handles the ribs simply; in the yard, he uses an axe to chop the ribs a few times, separating the bones.

In no time, the two large pieces of ribs are chopped into individual bones.

Then Jiang Feng places the bones in a basin, carries it to the stove, adds water to the pot, and puts the bones in to start cooking.

Once cooked, the dogs can eat them.

Dogs like chewing bones; softer ones can be chewed directly, while harder ones are just for playing.

The ranch never lacks meat and bones.

"Later, I’ll make a dish for myself, but since it’s inconvenient for streaming, I won’t livestream it."

"Not a good influence."

Jiang Feng adds.

The current batch of viewers are quite rebellious, and hearing him say this, they immediately become interested.

[What is he doing that’s inconvenient for streaming, is he stewing Da Ying?]

[Going to eat a protected animal? Arrest him!]

[Explain clearly, don’t leave us hanging!]

[What’s unstreamable!]

The bullet screen floods in.

Seeing the enthusiasm, Jiang Feng helplessly laughs and says:

"You all know, every place has its own culinary culture."

"Silkworm pupae, centipedes, all sorts, some can’t be accepted by the public."

"The grassland has its own culture too."

"I’ll give you a little hint."

"Here with our cattle, sheep, horses, aside from breeding bulls, rams, stallions, almost all males have to be ’de-peached’."

"That’s how it is in the breeding industry, all males except breeders have to be ’de-peached.’

"Peaches are quite nutritious."

As he finishes speaking, the livestream’s bullet screen explodes.

Viewers can’t resist this cheeky talk.

[Goddammit, don’t say anymore, my peaches hurt!]

[Hahaha, so it’s this thing he’s going to eat!]

[It’s true, that’s how it is in animal husbandry, cattle and sheep are treated young, so they’re cleaner, and the meat tastes better!]

[Is this thing really nutritious?]

[But they lose their happiness!]

Seeing everyone’s comments, Jiang Feng doesn’t say much more.

Such is life on the ranch, for the herders, that’s just meat, only the taste differs.

The dogs lie in the yard resting, waiting for the delicious meal.

Soon the aroma of the meat wafts from the pot.

Smelling the fragrant aroma, Jiang Feng lifts the pot lid.

At this moment, the mutton soup has turned a slightly dark gray color, and the mutton is cooked, looking plump and tender.

Jiang Feng took out a big basin and directly scooped the bones into it, then poured in some mutton soup.

Looking at the delicious food in front of them, many online viewers began to drool a little.

[Why does it feel like even the bones he cooks would be delicious!]

[It’s like the mutton spine hot pot, that’s considered a delicacy in Kyoto!]

[As long as the meat is cooked, it’ll taste good no matter how it’s done!]

Jiang Feng placed the pot on the ground in the courtyard.

A few dogs immediately came over, but they all just lay there watching, not getting close.

"It still needs to cool down for a while to disperse the heat."

"My dogs understand the rules well. They won’t eat from the pot directly; you either put it on the ground for them or in their bowls."

"They’re all waiting now."

Jiang Feng said unhurriedly.

As he said, several adult dogs were lying around the mutton pot without getting close.

Jiang Feng waited for a while, then picked out a few big bones and placed them on the ground.

Black Back, Lucky and Wealthy, and Golden Retriever each found a bone, picked it up, and went aside, lying on the ground eating and chewing.

The dogs were happily gnawing away.

The viewers also found it quite satisfying to watch.

After streaming the dogs for a while, Jiang Feng decided to end the stream to make dinner.

Having searched for cows all day today, he was a bit tired and it was a good time to replenish his energy.

So, Jiang Feng bid farewell to the viewers and shut off the live stream.

...

The next day, the live stream resumed as usual.

Jiang Feng routinely checked the situation at the ranch and also went to see the cattle farm.

After confirming there were no issues, he began to ponder what to stream today.

"How about showing off a bit?"

He thought to himself.

Jiang Feng has always been mellow and low-key, adhering to his principle of "doing what feels comfortable."

He won the skill "Master of Bow and Arrow Shooting" from the Top Level Lottery last time and received a set of Mongolian Bow from the Advanced Lottery, which he hasn’t used yet.

Jiang Feng isn’t very interested in archery, but hanging it on the wall of his room as a decoration is not bad.

The weather is nice today, with the sun shining brightly, perfect for showing off.

"There’s nothing much today, so I’ll perform a little show for everyone."

"When I was young, I learned horse riding and archery from the Mongolian People in the village. Riding a horse isn’t too hard, practice makes perfect."

"But archery is quite difficult, especially hitting the target accurately, that’s even more challenging."

"I’ll try shooting an arrow today to see how my skills are."

Jiang Feng said leisurely.

Upon hearing his words, the stream viewers responded:

[The host can shoot arrows too?]

[Hahaha, he’s starting to show off, hurry up!]

[The host knows how to do so much, as a college graduate, he shouldn’t be so multi-talented!]

[He even knows how to drive an excavator!]

[Now he’s doing archery!]

Jiang Feng went to the area where the haystacks were placed; it’s outside, with no people or livestock.

He used a forklift to lift a haystack and placed it on the open ground.

Then, he walked about 60 meters away from the haystack with his bow and arrow.

"This distance seems about right."

"Why don’t you make a guess, can I hit that haystack?"

Jiang Feng smiled slightly, speaking with a leisurely air.

Little Border Collie, Little White Wolf, and Little Donkey were at his feet.

Little Border Collie sat on the ground, scratching its ear with its hind paw, looking adorably silly.

In the live stream, under the warm autumn sun, beside the wilderness of the grassland, a young man with a bow and arrow smiled with three playful, adorable pets at his feet.

Such a scene, away from the city, away from the hustle and bustle, like the style of the 90s, full of freedom and ease.

Sixty meters is neither too far nor too close.

Netizens estimated the distance between Jiang Feng and the haystack, responding one after another:

[I bet the host will miss!]

[The host is the Grassland King, I bet he can hit it!]

[If he hits it, I’ll eat all the cow dung on the grassland!]

[Dude, that’s a harsh bet!]

[Hahaha, I’m betting he misses too!]

Jiang Feng took out his phone and checked the comments; with a phone, he could see more.

Seeing the screen full of "missed" comments, Jiang Feng smiled slightly.

The next second, he drew the bow and shot the arrow.

The whole action was smooth and completed in one go.

"Buzz!"

"Whoosh!"

The bowstring vibrated, emitting a buzzing sound, and the arrow shot out, flying straight towards the distance!

The viewers only saw a flash of dark light!

Then, they saw the arrow deeply embedded in the haystack, with more than half of it buried inside.

For a moment, the viewers in the live stream were stunned.

The comment section suddenly went quiet.
