Chapter 244 - 242: See That? This Is What You Call Professional!
Jiang Feng came from the lakeside to the high slope, where a group of cattle were grazing below.
Cows are precious treasures with high value and great profit.
Last year, cattle prices collapsed, but this year, they’ve warmed up a bit, and the ranch has gradually sold dozens of cows.
As the ranch owner, Jiang Feng raised many cows himself, so a few of them have a very good relationship with him.
"It’s August, which can be considered the most beautiful season on the grassland."
"The scent of fresh grass is strong in the air, and the temperature isn’t too high."
"This season makes the pastoral area very comfortable, with starry yurts dotting the distance, and the sound of many herdsmen singing."
Jiang Feng said to everyone.
Just as he was speaking, two black Ujumqin cattle came to Jiang Feng’s side, quietly grazing beside him.
Seeing the cows coming, the dogs took a few steps back and then lay down on the grass to rest.
There’s a strong sense of pressure from the cows; although they look slow, they can be terrifyingly powerful if they go wild.
Jiang Feng walked next to one of the cows and patted its large head.
This cow looked at Jiang Feng with gentle eyes.
Ujumqin cattle are very large, plump and strong, clearly all muscle.
The ancestors of Huaxia have spent many years domesticating the best breeds suitable for livestock.
Many herdsmen in the live broadcast room, upon seeing this scene, clicked their tongues in wonder:
[These cows have a really good breed, much more precious than the big yellow cattle we raise!]
[This is authentic prairie beef!]
[Ordinary people can’t eat it, it’s too difficult!]
[This ranch is truly a paradise!]
At this time, the scenery on the grassland was simply fantastic.
Vast and boundless, gentle and beautiful.
The clouds in the sky were dense and impressive, constantly drifting.
The animals were leisurely strolling on the grassland.
There were also two cows grazing close to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng specially used a drone to capture close-up shots of the cows grazing.
They lowered their heads, used their mouths to uproot several clumps of grass, making a "crunch crunch" sound, then stopped to chew and swallowed the grass.
Watching this was extremely relaxing.
After wandering around the pasture, Jiang Feng returned to the ranch with the dogs.
Upon returning to the ranch, Jiang Feng received a call from his parents, regarding matters concerning their own pasture.
The village where Jiang Feng’s family lived was relatively remote, so the pasture was always divided and used in a fixed grazing way.
The grass was recovering a bit now.
But on this kind of pasture, the grass doesn’t grow tall and can’t be cut.
Pastures where grass can be cut are still rare.
"Your uncle plans to plant some trees; you have a machine, so drive over and help."
Jiang Feng’s father, Jiang Shan, said to him.
"The sandstorms are quite strong over there, so planting more trees will be beneficial."
Hearing Jiang Shan’s words, Jiang Feng immediately agreed.
The family’s pasture is shared between Jiang Feng’s family and his uncle’s, over thirty-six thousand acres, which are divided between his family and his uncle’s.
Jiang Feng’s uncle is not the type to fiddle around much, raising several hundred sheep and dozens of cattle.
But Jiang Shan loves raising animals, so he raises a lot, has been doing it for over a decade, and the money earned has been increasing.
Later on, he rented a new pasture for Jiang Feng in Maodeng, allowing him to raise animals there.
Previously, Jiang Shan’s cows and sheep would go to other pastures to graze every year, and they would give some dividends to Jiang Feng’s uncle.
His uncle is quite a quiet person, doesn’t talk much, just drinks and sings, without any ulterior motives.
The relationship between the two families is very good.
"It’s been a while since I’ve gone back to check on the family’s pasture."
"Need to go back and have a look."
Jiang Feng thought to himself.
Because the pasture rented now is so good, Jiang Feng had almost forgotten the family’s old pasture.
So, without hesitation, the next day he brought some equipment and headed to the family’s pasture.
Upon arrival, he first chatted with his uncle’s family before preparing to plant trees.
The live broadcast continued as usual.
Netizens flooded into the live broadcast room.
Upon entering, they were slightly amazed.
The grassland was still the grassland, but it looked rather sparse instead of lush.
Green as far as the eye could see, but not as lush as the pasture in Maodeng.
Nor could it compare to the pasture Jiang Feng currently managed.
[What’s going on? Did the owner travel through time?]
[This place seems a bit unfamiliar!]
[What’s the situation here?]
At this moment, Jiang Feng explained to everyone:
"Returned to the family side today, going to plant some trees on my own pasture."
"The sandstorms are increasing, and the Sosso Trees we’ve planted are somewhat struggling."
"Afforestation will take time."
"The pasture’s ecology will improve."
After hearing Jiang Feng say this, everyone suddenly understood.
The drone captured the current condition of the pasture from above, and an old but majestic-looking Black Back dog came into view.
Black Back is old now and being taken care of here.
Previously, Jiang Shan had brought it to the villa in the city, but Black Back was miserable, so he brought it back here.
Now Black Back just checks on the sheep every day and moves around a bit, it doesn’t need to herd them anymore.
After a while, Jiang Feng’s parents drove home.
They also brought three Golden Retrievers in the car.
One adult Golden Retriever is Wangwang, and the other two are Wangwang’s pups, called Da Bao and Er Bao.
This time, Jiang Feng only brought Xiaojin Hua along.
When Wangwang saw Jiang Feng, it first approached with a big smile to greet Jiang Feng, acting cute and smiling ingratiatingly.
After Jiang Feng patted its head, Wangwang looked at Xiaojin Hua.
It barked at Xiaojin Hua.
Jiang Feng could even understand its meaning.
It was asking Xiaojin Hua, "Where are your parents?"
It was clear it wanted to fight with Lucky and Wealthy.
But since Lucky and Wealthy didn’t come today, Wangwang lost the desire to compete for favor.
The situation on the family’s pasture is good, it’s now being used by the uncle’s family.
Jiang Feng played briefly with the dogs and then drove the tractor into the depths of the pasture.
He said to the viewers:
"My family’s pasture is still recovering, the recovery of grass takes time."
"Next year I’ll plant some forage seeds, but the soil and climate conditions here are mediocre, there’s not much rain, it’s hard to grow as lush as over in Maodeng."
"This kind of pasture is good for about three thousand sheep, but they don’t get very fat."
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, viewers in the live stream responded one after another:
[I just realized the host’s family has such a vast pasture!]
[Inner Mongolia really is full of rich people!]
[Can you spare me 500 acres of this land?]
[Let’s be friends, rich guy!]
The comments were very lively.
Jiang Feng didn’t look at the live stream anymore, but focused on the task of planting trees.
The trees need maintenance, like Ant Forest, which has specialized maintenance organizations.
But for the trees grown on Jiang Feng’s land, only his own family can maintain them.
Some Sosso Trees are planted outside, and they look weathered and dusty.
Next to them were a tractor, a large truck, and a small water tanker.
The dogs were playing around.
Xiaojin Hua and the two small Golden Retrievers became friends, chasing and playing happily.
Under the drone’s lens, a scene of a grassland family at work was being streamed.
The live stream had about 60,000 viewers, which was quite good.
People were coming in from time to time.
Jiang Feng was in charge of driving the tractor, and his operation was very professional, making the tractor maneuver smoothly and steadily, digging pit after pit suitable for planting trees.
[No matter how talented someone is, they still have to go home and help with chores!]
[The host is digging pits himself, so professional!]
[I’ve always been curious, why not plant more trees on the grasslands? Wouldn’t a forest help the grass grow better?]
[It’s not that easy!]
At this moment, Jiang Feng stopped to rest, waiting for his family to plant the trees in the pits and tamp them down.
He happened to see everyone’s questions.
Jiang Feng smiled and explained:
"It’s not that easy to plant trees on the grassland. Generally, the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, which is not suitable for tree growth."
"Many grasses are very hardy against cold."
"The grassland is on a plateau, so there aren’t many tall trees."
"Moreover, for trees to grow big, they need to root deeply, but the soil here is thin, with a calcareous layer below, making it hard to root."
"Incidentally, when planting windbreak forests on the grassland, they must be planted on the outermost edge of the pasture."
"Planting trees among grass is unreasonable; it doesn’t protect the ecology but damages the pasture."
"The soil in this area is relatively better, so the planted trees can survive, slightly improving the ecology."
Everyone understood after hearing Jiang Feng’s explanation.
[See? This is called expertise!]
[Another piece of useless knowledge +1]
[The host is truly knowledgeable, can speak on any topic!]
[A truly versatile amazing guy!]
The comments were full of praise.
Jiang Feng didn’t further engage but continued busying himself with the tree planting.
It’s very difficult to plant trees on the grasslands; you can’t plant in grazing areas, and in barren areas, you have to consider soil and rainfall conditions.
Even if trees are planted, it’s not easy for the saplings to survive.
However, with experience, people have come to know where trees can survive.
Life on the grassland is just like this, there’s always endless work to be done.
But it’s the same everywhere; the work is never-ending.
As long as there is positive feedback, you can enjoy a good rest when taking breaks.
Jiang Feng’s father was also helping with the tree planting. He wore a set of rough work clothes, showing no hint of being a wealthy first-generation.
Present were also several neighbors, invited to help with the work.
The women were cooking at home.
The family structure on the grassland is still quite traditional.
Jiang Shan, though working, was happy at heart.
Having money is one thing, having capable children earns more envy from others.
The others, seeing Jiang Feng operating the machinery on the tractor, were quite impressed with him.
