Jiang Feng carried the crabs back to the ranch.

He called Gelya and Old Sun to help wash the crabs with a brush in a large pot.

Then they set up water in the pot and started boiling.

Jiang Feng caught an especially large number of crabs. He kept eight for himself, more than enough, and let the employees share the rest.

These crabs were all quite large.

Jiang Feng went to the kitchen himself, found a small bowl, poured in oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, then added a small spoon of sesame oil, and sprinkled a bit of chili powder.

Then, carrying the seasoning and a pot of crabs, Jiang Feng returned to his courtyard to eat.

The drone synced up to broadcast.

Jiang Feng sat in a cool spot, took a crab from the basin, and then took a small pair of scissors in his right hand.

He introduced to everyone:

"Eating crabs has its techniques. For example, with these freshly boiled river crabs, you should eat the legs first because they cool the fastest."

"Use scissors to cut off the joints on both sides of the big leg, cut the small leg in half, and then use the small leg to push out the crab meat from the big leg."

While speaking, Jiang Feng demonstrated in practice.

He broke off a leg, made a few simple cuts, and with a gentle push, a large piece of white crab leg meat popped out.

The crab leg meat was dipped in the seasoning and sent directly into the mouth, fresh and tender with the unique fragrance of river crabs. The flavor of the seasoning blossomed in the mouth, making one exclaim with joy.

The dogs were not interested in river crabs, so they wandered off somewhere to play.

However, the farm cats all ran over, squatting on the ground, quietly waiting.

Cats love the taste of fresh river food.

While eating, Jiang Feng cut down two pieces of crab leg meat to feed the kittens at home.

There were three kittens, one pure black, one calico, and one tabby.

Jiang Feng suspected that Big Orange might have more than just Cat Boss as its offspring, as it’s common in animals for there to be multiple fathers in one litter.

As long as different tomcats had their way in a short time frame, it’s possible.

The cat circle was too complicated, so Jiang Feng didn’t dwell on it.

Just treat them all as Cat Boss’s.

Jiang Feng handed them some crab leg meat, and the kittens smacked their little mouths, eating with "na na na" sounds.

The scene was very heartwarming.

After finishing the crab legs, Jiang Feng set the shells aside and added:

"After finishing the crab legs, it’s time to eat the body. Use scissors to open the back cover of the crab and clean the shells on both sides."

"In the middle of the crab’s back, under the dark skin, there’s a white patch, which is the crab’s heart and shouldn’t be eaten."

"The gray-white stuff on both sides of the body is for the crab’s breathing, it’s dirty, and shouldn’t be eaten."

"There are also two small white patches, which are the crab’s ’aunt’ and shouldn’t be eaten."

"The white patch on the belly is the crab’s navel, and the crab’s excretion, and shouldn’t be eaten."

"This is the crab’s mouth, which shouldn’t be eaten; these are the crab’s teeth, which shouldn’t be eaten; this is the crab’s stomach, which shouldn’t be eaten."

"Finally, break the crab in half; there are many small white tubes in the crab roe, which are the crab’s intestines and shouldn’t be eaten."

"Alright, now that everything inedible has been removed, all that’s left is the crab meat."

"Dipping the crab meat in the seasoning makes it taste even better."

While explaining, Jiang Feng dipped some crab meat into the seasoning and put it in his mouth.

Instantly, he felt a savory aroma fill his mouth.

Upon hearing him, the netizens responded:

[This is too troublesome, I’m not eating it!]

[Ah? Are there so many inedible parts in a crab? How did I not notice before!]

[Sorry, a boar can’t eat fine bran!]

[Isn’t it just cracking open the shell and eating it directly? Was I eating it wrong before?]

[Did you see that? This is called being professional!]

Jiang Feng’s crab-eating technique was very professional.

Sometimes he used scissors to cut crab legs, sometimes he opened the crab’s back cover, removed the inedible waste, and dipped the crab meat into the seasoning bowl, which was truly a comfort to the entire body.

At the dining table, the cats were also eating happily.

The little black cat stared with its big, glistening eyes, gazing dumbly at Jiang Feng.

The little black cat and the tabby cat were both tomcats, very mischievous and causing trouble everywhere. But sometimes, they would settle down quietly like this.

The black cat wasn’t entirely black; its four paws were white, quite peculiar.

This type of cat is also called "Cloud Treading Snow," a high-quality breed of cat.

Jiang Feng gently rubbed its little head, and the kitten softly meowed.

The three kittens were not afraid of people, as they were accustomed to the human scent from a young age, so they were very close to people.

Jiang Feng soon finished eating the crabs.

The table was piled high with leftover crab shells.

"That was satisfying."

Jiang Feng nodded contentedly.

Then, he cleaned up all the crab shells before coming to the recliner, sitting down to rest.

At the same time, Jiang Feng called over the three kittens.

The three little ones heard his call and hopped onto Jiang Feng’s body.

As it happened, two of the kittens suddenly, one on the left and one on the right, started kneading on Jiang Feng’s belly.

Kneading is when cats repeatedly press with their front paws; it’s a precursor to wanting milk, and sometimes they do this to their owners.

Seen from another angle, cat kneading also looks like a massage.

The two cats kneading are Xiaohai and the Tabby Cat.

They started kneading simultaneously, clearly the crab they just had was satisfying, and now they want more.

Jiang Feng leaned back on his chair and glanced up at the two little guys.

"Aren’t you two grown-up by now, still kneading? You two are male cats. Not weaning for such a long time would make other cats look down on you."

"Look at Xiao Sanhua, she’s not kneading."

Jiang Feng said to them.

Though he said that, the kneading felt quite enjoyable, like a massage.

The drone filmed this scene from above.

Netizens were amused by the comical scene.

[Hello? Is this 110? I want to report someone hiring child labor!]

[Got cat massages after meals? What kind of fairy treatment is this!]

[Cats: Grind your teeth and swallow everything, all for survival on the ranch!]

[Life is hard, cats perform!]

[Ranch owner, release those two cats, let me do it!]

Bullet comments flooded in.

Jiang Feng just lay there, enjoying the special service from the cats.

Not long after, Xiaojin Hua and the others ran back.

In the evening courtyard, cats and dogs were together, very lively.

....

The next day, the ranch started sheep herding as usual.

Summer times are always joyful; seeing the greenery everywhere makes every herdsman feel at ease.

A large flock of sheep ran out.

Jiang Feng followed behind the sheep.

Looking at the plump bodies of the sheep, he felt happy.

It seems like this year will be prosperous and abundant.

On the lush green grass, many small flowers bloomed, bees were busy collecting nectar, and some butterflies were flying.

Jiang Feng saw from afar that the Tabby Cat started running on the grassland again.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng said:

"Honestly, I’m always worried the Cat Boss won’t return."

"There are many hawks on the grassland, specifically hunting small animals. Whether it’s mice, rabbits, or Mangalitsas and foxes, they might be snatched by hawks."

"Although hawks generally prefer rabbits and mice, you never know if they’ll eat other animals too."

"But I can’t keep it locked up all the time. Once it’s free, it runs to the grassland."

"Orange Cats are quite obedient, they never leave human activity zones."

Jiang Feng looked from afar at Cat Boss, running happily in the grass, rolling around in the grass with a nonchalant attitude.

[True, this cat’s fate is really fortunate!]

[There are fewer hawks on the grassland now, places like this are better!]

[Hawks generally wouldn’t mess with cats like this; it’d be trouble if they were caught instead!]

[Cats can’t beat hawks in the sky, but if a cat jumps behind a hawk and bites its neck, the hawk is done for!]

Everyone was chatting animatedly.

Just then, Jiang Feng noticed a cluster of yellow flowers not far away. The more he looked, the more he sensed something was wrong.

So, Jiang Feng changed direction on horseback and rushed to the side.

The dogs were driving the sheep away.

Jiang Feng came next to the yellow flowers, dismounted, and after recognizing the species of yellow flower, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This flower is strange.

There’s a problem!

Jiang Feng has the skill of a grassland encyclopedia, knowing plant characteristics thoroughly.

And this plant in front shouldn’t exist in the Mongolian Grassland, or even domestically.

This is a cluster of invasive species, its threat comparable to the water hyacinth in ponds.

[Ranch owner, has something happened?]

[Why stop all of a sudden?]

[Is there a problem with those yellow grasses?]

[These grasses seem pretty tall!]

Jiang Feng frowned slightly and said to everyone:

"These grasses are problematic, scarier than poisonous grass; they are infamous pests among grasses."

"Its scientific name is Canada Thistle, also known as Canada Goldenrod."

"When encountered, it must be uprooted."

"Otherwise, the first year there’s only one cluster, by the second year it’s a patch, and in a few more years everything around will be overrun by this grass, greatly suppressing normal pasture growth."

Jiang Feng got off the horse, intending to uproot this grass.

Netizens were very surprised.

[A grass called Canada Thistle?]

[I thought you were talking about some top star sewing machines in prison!]

[Is the grass that scary? It looks fine!]

Bullet comments responded one after another.
