Chapter 140: Chapter 138: Fun at the Ranch, Catching Camels in the Pen!

The winter snow had just melted not long ago, and the ground on the grassland was still a bit moist.

The spring wind here carries a hint of damp chill.

Adouqin, a manager from Maodeng Ranch, drove out to Jiang Feng’s field to promote this year’s plan for Maodeng Ranch.

The land in the country is like this, possessing some autonomy, yet still under unified management.

"Master Jiang, the grass here is growing quite well."

Adouqin looked at the state of the pasture and praised.

At this moment, the pasture was already covered in a layer of green, with much grass poking through.

Wildfire can’t fully destroy it, and the spring wind brings it back to life.

The grass is like this, extremely tenacious in its vitality,

with the melting snow nourishing the seeds, after being basked by the warm spring sun, they grow even better.

"Not bad, I planted some forage grass seeds, they’re starting to sprout."

Jiang Feng replied politely to Adouqin.

Upon hearing this, Adouqin laughed and said:

"Master Jiang, as you know, the green-up period in spring is when the grass is most fragile."

"I still need to routinely promote the work, hope you understand."

"According to the ’Mongolia Grass-Animal Balance and Grazing Prohibition and Pasture Rest Regulations’ and the ’Xilingol League Pasture Green-up Resting Work Implementation Plan’."

"And also considering Maodeng Ranch’s grass type, rainfall, and grassland growth characteristics."

"The pasture rest period this spring in our banner is from April 5th to May 15th."

"Resting pastures can prevent livestock from trampling on the grass, allowing it to grow better, and also benefiting the subsequent growth of the livestock."

Adouqin informed Jiang Feng of this year’s grazing ban request from Ximeng League.

Then, he took out a notification document and said:

"This is the document, specifically brought to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng took the document and responded:

"Wasn’t it sent to my email? I’ve already printed it out."

"Don’t worry, the league has been doing this for many years, I will definitely support it."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Adouqin nodded,

"Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer."

"I still have to visit several more ranches, the leaders requested me to visit every single house to ensure the promotion is in place."

"It’s part of the duty, there’s no choice."

Jiang Feng again politely said: "You’ve worked hard."

Adouqin left in a hurry, to promote this year’s grazing ban policy.

Jiang Feng continued to be busy with ranch operations.

The drone followed him, and Jiang Feng said to the online viewers:

"It’s pasture green-up season now, most of the grass on the grassland is still withered, only a few new grasses are starting to grow."

"By May, it will be growing quite well."

"Protecting the pasture is the responsibility of us grassland people."

"Besides the grazing ban, April and May are also wildfire prevention seasons; if it doesn’t rain, the air tends to be a bit dry."

Jiang Feng walked out towards the edge of the ranch.

Upon hearing his explanation, viewers responded one after another:

[The management over there is quite formal!]

[There are pros and cons; the good thing is that it indeed protects the grasslands, the downside is that I can’t casually let livestock graze on my own pasture, which is a bit annoying.]

[That’s the way it should be, back when there was no grazing ban, the cattle and sheep couldn’t even get fat!]

[The grass has already started growing, it won’t be a problem to last another month!]

Jiang Feng walked all the way out to the edge of the pasture.

At this moment, Luo Jinzhu, Hadan and a few others were setting up a passageway with iron railings.

The viewers were already familiar with this scene.

[Is today the anti-parasite treatment for camels?]

[Everyone knows the ins and outs of the ranch!]

[Of course! Those in cloud-ranching certainly need to know what’s being done!]

Jiang Feng walked to the side of the pen and said to the viewers:

"Today we’re doing anti-parasite treatment for the camels, there’s no end to the work in this industry."

"Especially during the crucial spring period, it’s the busiest time."

"I need to go help as well, these camels aren’t very obedient and won’t line up obediently."

The open-air pen was quite large, and the camels were resting in it.

They curiously poked their heads out, watching Luo Jinzhu and the others secure the passageway.

Jiang Feng walked into the pen.

The method for anti-parasite treatment of camels is quite simple: just use a thick syringe to suck up the white anti-parasite medicine, then tilt the camel’s head up to inject it.

During anti-parasite treatment, the cattle are quite obedient and will line up nicely, but the camels are a bit naughty, only a few will line up together.

Jiang Feng walked into the pen and began catching camels.

Seeing him approach, the camels knew it wasn’t anything good and would dodge and run away.

However, camels don’t run very fast; Jiang Feng quickly ran over and grabbed one by the neck.

Once caught, the camel didn’t resist.

The herders in the pen caught the camels and drove them towards the passageway, creating a somewhat comical scene.

At this time, the drone’s camera turned, abruptly capturing footage behind Jiang Feng.

Bugude pulled on a camel’s reins, trying to move forward, but who would have thought this camel was quite stubborn, pulling Bugude backward instead.

Bugude couldn’t keep his balance and ended up sitting on the ground, being dragged a distance of two or three meters.

The audience in the livestream found it hilarious.

[Hahaha, this guy is so unlucky!]

[Life on the ranch is so joyful!]

[Watching these guys rush in to catch camels is really entertaining!]

[It’s normal when you’re raising animals, whether it’s catching pigs, cows, or horses, there’s always some unruly ones.]

The camels formed a line and entered the enclosed rails.

When they reached the end of the path, the gate was closed tight.

The staff fixed the camels’ forelegs, then stepped on the side ladders, shortening the reins and hanging it on the rod above, forcing the camels to raise their heads.

Next, using a thick syringe to inject anti-parasite medicine into the camels’ stomachs.

After the camels had drunk the anti-parasite medicine, the staff would open the gate and let the camels run off.

Just like that, every camel had to get its dose of anti-parasite medicine.

At first, when there were many camels, the process was simple.

Later on, the camels became unruly, and the enclosure was huge.

So two or three people went in, starting to coordinate and catch camels together.

From the viewers’ perspective, people and camels seemed to be playing games, looking funny yet somewhat cute.

However, both the ranch staff and the camels wished the opposite party would stop quickly.

Luckily, camels don’t attack people; they only run away, so catching camels this way wasn’t dangerous.

Three people approached the camel, which was looking around and then accelerated to escape.

Luo Jinzhu, quick of eye and deft of hand, rushed over, hugged the camel’s neck, then put the reins on it and started leading it out.

Hadan and Bugude worked together.

Outside the enclosure, the camels hadn’t yet left and were watching what was happening inside.

Nearby there were scattered hay bales, and the camels ate while watching, as if they were attending a live performance.

They thought the camels left inside the enclosure were real warriors.

Jiang Feng also joined the camel catching team.

Finally, seven or eight camels were left inside the enclosure, running fast as they saw people approaching.

And the enclosure was quite large, with enough space.

So later on, it turned into four people trying to catch one camel.

During the process of giving camels the anti-parasite medicine, time flew by.

Before they knew it, it was dusk.

All camels finished having their medicine and were driven to another enclosure to rest.

Near the fence, there was plenty of dry hay, so they wouldn’t go hungry.

During this period, Jiang Feng was busy working, not chatting much, but the livestream always had plenty of people watching.

Once all the camels had their medicine, Jiang Feng finally had some free time.

"Finally finished, time to take a good two-day rest."

"Going back tonight to make some red braised beef noodles to treat myself."

Jiang Feng said to the viewers.

[Red braised beef noodles? I’m eating them too, isn’t that just five bucks a cup?]

[The noodles you mention are really just noodles, whereas what the ranch master refers to as red braised beef noodles, the focus is on the beef!]

[If he wants to add beef to the noodles, he could add a whole cow!]

[Let me see how the ranch master eats his red braised beef noodles!]

[Here comes the ranch master’s prairie culinary show!]

Jiang Feng returned to his courtyard.

After a few days of interior renovation, the area around his bedroom had greatly changed, with some furniture being moved out, including two large safes, the contents of which were unknown, and only Jiang Feng could open them.

The kitchen was available for use.

Jiang Feng first went to the ranch’s kitchen and brought back a basin of beef.

The beef was extremely fresh, having been soaked in water for a few hours, with the blood drawn out.

He then took out a large clay pot, washing it inside and out.

The beef was placed in cold water, skimming off the froth, then added with scallion, ginger, and half a bottle of white wine to eliminate the odor.

"This is the part of the beef foreleg’s flank I picked, and all the miscellaneous meat has been trimmed off, leaving only the pure flank meat."

"Then, add some beef tendon, cutting the flank meat and beef tendon into large pieces."

"Everyone can see the grainy texture of the flank meat’s side, which means it’s good meat."

Each time Jiang Feng started cooking, a professional aura was evident.

His confidence and professionalism in handling ingredients were unmistakable, clearly showing the style of a top chef.

The grainy texture of beef appeared clear on camera.

[Is this beef really what he’s using for the red braised beef noodles?]

[Thank you ranch master for showing me the true form of red braised beef noodles!]

[Master Kong, come here for a reality check!]

[Master Kong: Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could red braised beef noodles look like this!] 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Seeing Jiang Feng’s setup, viewers began a lively discussion.

At this time, Jiang Feng set aside the boiled beef.

The raw beef, washed with scallions, ginger, and white wine, had become firmer and even a bit translucent.

Next, Jiang Feng’s culinary skills for red braised beef noodles officially began.
