Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 242 - 240: Little Donkey, This Is Your Brother and Sister-in-Law!

At the market, Jiang Feng strolled around the livestock selling section.

This place was a wasteland, with many trucks parked, and a road in the middle where local villagers were promoting cattle, sheep, or horses.

Jiang Feng loved visiting places like this.

He wanted to buy some of the good poultry and livestock he saw.

Chickens, ducks, geese, or pigs, cows, sheep, etc.

Even though his ranch already had plenty, he still wanted more.

Just like girls who love buying bags always feel they don’t have enough, or anglers who love fishing rods always feel they’re missing one.

The hobbies of a ranch owner are just that simple and unadorned.

The surrounding villagers saw Jiang Feng appear and immediately gathered around him.

They all knew Jiang Feng was a big rancher, not short of money, and a real buyer.

So many started promoting their cattle or sheep to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng looked over them.

But the cattle and sheep he raised were all plump and strong, their hair clean, and their appearance good.

Seeing the dirty cattle and sheep around him, he naturally wasn’t interested.

He wanted to pick some good poultry and livestock.

After walking around, he didn’t fancy anything else, but Jiang Feng did become interested in a Little Donkey.

This Little Donkey wasn’t a miniature donkey, just an ordinary Little Donkey.

Donkeys are popular in the market because they are particularly cheap, only costing a couple of thousand yuan.

"What’s the price for this donkey?"

Jiang Feng asked the villager selling the donkey.

"If you sincerely want it, take it for two thousand."

"Alright, I’ll take it."

Jiang Feng acted decisively and directly bought the Little Donkey.

Watching this, netizens quickly asked:

[Rancher, don’t you already have two miniature donkeys worth tens of thousands of yuan? Why buy a donkey?]

[With this Little Donkey compared to the miniature ones, it’s even more interesting!]

[Isn’t the rancher planning to ride the donkey?]

After buying the donkey, Jiang Feng said to everyone:

"That’s right, I’m planning to ride the donkey around."

"The two I’m raising now, as everyone knows, besides selling cuteness, are good for nothing."

"This ordinary donkey can grow up, and everyone has heard of donkeys grinding millstones; donkeys, despite being stubborn, are diligent and dependable."

"Once it grows up, riding it would be interesting."

"Historically, many people rode donkeys, like Liu Bo Wen and Afanti."

"Riding a donkey isn’t as dashing as riding a horse, but it’s unique in its way."

"Raise it up, mount +1."

After hearing Jiang Feng speak, netizens laughed too.

[Oh, he’s collecting mounts!]

[Motorcycle, Red Hare Horse, White Camel, and now adding a donkey, these mounts are quite diverse!]

[The world of the wealthy is truly exciting, more comfortable than games!]

[Who wouldn’t envy this lifestyle?]

Jiang Feng paid the money, led the Little Donkey, and continued strolling.

The Little Donkey was well-behaved, following whoever held the rope.

Jiang Feng moved forward, and it followed suit.

It looked quite amusing.

"This Little Donkey, back home, can be a brother to Elovis and Cui Hua."

Jiang Feng said again.

This remark made everyone even more cheerful.

This Little Donkey now looked just three months old, already taller than the miniature ones.

If they were together, those who knew would think of them as brother, sister-in-law, and brother; those who didn’t might mistake them for a father with two sons!

Jiang Feng looked at chickens, ducks, and geese in the market; the ranch’s own poultry were self-sufficient, buying more was possible but unnecessary.

Netizens could tell that Jiang Feng was genuinely happy in such a place.

His expression carried some joy.

He truly loved raising animals.

This must be why he chose to return to the grasslands and become a rancher.

Jiang Feng continued strolling with the Little Donkey.

After walking around, he didn’t fancy the common poultry and livestock but bought four adorable Little Rabbits.

Rabbits are quite pleasing to look at when young, they look delightful.

Later, he could keep them in cages and occasionally let them roam on the grass; once grown, they would make a splendid dish.

Livestock farming is flourishing on the grasslands, and 90% of the animals raised by people are destined for the table.

Over here, it’s just the way it is, and people don’t think much of it.

Of course, livestock is livestock, pets are pets, there is a difference.

Jiang Feng bought a donkey, took four rabbits, loaded them onto the car, and prepared to return to the ranch.

The Little Donkey was put directly onto the back seat of the SUV.

Hadan was quite smart and volunteered to drive, Jiang Feng naturally sat in the passenger seat, leaving Bugude squeezed in the back with the donkey.

Neither of them minded, they were both happy.

Back at the ranch, Jiang Feng routinely started a live stream.

He led the Little Donkey to meet its brother and sister-in-law.

At this moment, the two miniature donkeys were still resting in the shed.

Jiang Feng called from outside:

"Elovis, Cui Hua!"

"They’re out!"

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the two Little Donkeys immediately ran out of the stable happily.

The two little guys always had innocent smiles on their faces, looking adorably silly and quite amusing.

However, this time, as soon as they came out, they were slightly taken aback.

Elovis had been to a donkey farm before, so it was relatively calm.

But Cui Hua had never encountered others of its kind.

So it was somewhat surprised.

It was still okay with them, but the Little Donkey that Jiang Feng was leading was completely confused.

It immediately panicked, letting out an "Ah oh~ ah oh~" cry, with a bit of a tremble in its voice.

However, with Jiang Feng holding it, the Little Donkey was relatively calm.

The netizens were more and more amused, the screen full of laughter hahahas.

"Come on, meet your brother and sister-in-law."

Jiang Feng pointed at the two donkeys, similar in size to a husky, and spoke to it.

The Little Donkey gradually calmed down.

After hesitating for a while, it lowered its head, face-to-face with Elovis.

Mini donkeys are adorable and not aggressive, so the Little Donkey quickly accepted it.

The two mini donkeys stood side by side, looking at the Little Donkey, appearing quite interesting.

At this time, Ma He came over.

Jiang Feng gave him instructions:

"Old Ma, I’ve just bought a Little Donkey, please help take care of it."

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Ma He agreed with a smile:

"Don’t worry, donkeys are good, much easier to take care of than horses."

"I guarantee it’ll be raised well."

The Little Donkey curiously watched the situation on the ranch.

Donkeys generally work hard, willing to do any dirty or tiring job.

And they’re very gentle in nature.

But in Jiang Feng’s ranch, it didn’t have much work to do, just living well was enough.

Elovis happily cried, welcoming its arrival.

The freshly bought Little Donkey needed to get familiar with the farm environment over these few days.

Jiang Feng left this task to Ma He.

Ma He led the Little Donkey, looking for a suitable stable for it.

Jiang Feng then went to take care of the four newly purchased rabbits.

Raising animals can become addictive; if conditions allow, you might end up raising more and more.

For example, some people start with just one cat, then feel it’s a bit lonely and buy another, and then think two isn’t enough, so they get another one.

There’s always a desire to raise new animals.

Jiang Feng returned to his yard and placed the little rabbits on the grass.

These rabbits are different from the wild rabbits on the grassland.

They run very slowly, moving one step at a time.

The wild rabbits on the grassland run in a flash, even dogs can’t catch up with them.

These rabbits look very gentle and cute.

At this moment, the Little Fox saw the rabbits and hurriedly rushed over, seemingly thinking of them as food.

"Hey?"

Jiang Feng quickly uttered an interjection to stop them, then picked up the little rabbits to protect them.

"These aren’t for eating; they need to be raised up."

Jiang Feng told the Little Fox.

The Little Fox looked at the rabbits in Jiang Feng’s hands, not knowing if it understood, but its desire to attack had certainly decreased a bit.

By this time, the Border Collie and White Wolf also saw the rabbits and came running over.

Jiang Feng had no choice but to put the rabbits in a small cage.

In this way, the rabbits wouldn’t escape, nor would they be eaten by the animals in the yard.

Rabbits are indeed at the bottom of the food chain on the grassland; most carnivores regard them as an appetizer.

At this moment, Xiaojin Hua and White Wolf gathered around the cage, staring at the cute little rabbits inside.

Jiang Feng smilingly called out:

"You two stop looking; they’re not for you to eat."

"These aren’t wild rabbits!"

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Xiaojin Hua immediately ran toward Jiang Feng.

While White Wolf still gazed longingly at the rabbits in the cage, even drooling a little.

Compared to the donkeys, the little rabbits were a bit pitiful.

All the animals in the yard wanted to eat it.

The netizens, seeing the reaction of the fox and dogs, were also thoroughly entertained.

[Hahaha, everyone wants to eat the rabbits!]

[Host: The rabbits are for me to eat, how could it be your turn!]

[Not just them, I drool when I see rabbits!]

[The rabbits are so cute... remember to add more cumin!]

Everyone kept teasing jokingly.

Jiang Feng looked at the rabbits in the cage, then took some fresh vegetable leaves to feed them.

The little rabbits hugged the leaves, their mouths moving rapidly, also quite comforting to watch.

"Let’s keep raising them; rabbits are pretty interesting."

"Even after they grow up, let’s keep them like this. If I want to eat rabbits, I will just go buy one, no need to eat these ones."

Jiang Feng found the rabbits interesting and said with a chuckle.
