Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 100 - 98: Is This Dog Training or Magic?
Jiang Feng is preparing to feed the ranch dogs.
Before feeding them, he plans to do a routine dog training.
The dogs love this game, they feel like it’s an interaction with humans.
Jiang Feng’s father, Jiang Shan, used to particularly love training dogs, which is a tradition in the Jiang Family.
The drone captures the live broadcast footage.
The dogs line up in a row.
From left to right, there are Big Black Back, Lucky and Wealthy, Golden Retriever Wangwang, and Little Border Collie.
Little Golden Retriever has already been placed back in the nest by Jiang Feng.
"Sit!"
At Jiang Feng’s command, all five dogs sit down.
"Stand up!"
Jiang Feng commands again, and the five dogs simultaneously stand up.
This scene is quite amusing.
[Master Jiang is truly a dog training expert!]
[Master Jiang, can I send my dog over for you to train?]
[These dogs are too smart!]
[I didn’t expect Golden Retriever Wangwang to understand commands too!]
At this moment, Jiang Feng speaks again:
"Lie down!"
The five dogs lie down simultaneously.
"Play dead!"
As his words fall, in the stunned gaze of the viewers, the five dogs simultaneously close their eyes, with Lucky and Wealthy even sticking their tongues out, looking dead.
The viewers are dumbfounded.
And now what?
Play dead?!!
The barrage floods in instantly, with the screen full of question marks.
[?????????]
[Holy cow! What did I just see?!]
[Is this dog training? It’s like magic!]
[No, it’s wizardry!]
[Oh my god! It totally baffled me!]
The atmosphere in the live stream becomes instantly heated.
Everyone bursts into laughter, unexpectedly witnessing such a spectacular scene.
Jiang Feng is amused too.
"Alright, get up!"
Jiang Feng calls them.
All the dogs stand up from the ground, Golden Retriever Wangwang immediately wagging its big tail, approaching Jiang Feng to act cute.
As it wags its tail, the tail swings wildly from side to side, continuously swiping at Lucky beside it.
Lucky barks at it twice, annoyed.
The Golden Retriever hears its barking but ignores it.
Jiang Feng takes out several bowls and arranges them sequentially.
Today’s meal for the dogs consists of leftover porridge, into which Jiang Feng has added many pieces of meat.
He also puts a big bone in each of their bowls.
This leftover human food is far more nutritious than dog food.
Little White Wolf is also by the side.
Jiang Feng does not intentionally train it.
He still wants to slowly explore Little White Wolf’s personality.
He once heard a story about someone finding a little black wolf.
After gradually growing up, the little wolf loved to stand on the rooftop howling at the moon, once attracting a fellow wolf.
That wolf enjoyed playing with the adult wolf and gradually distanced itself from its owner.
Finally, on one night, the wolf and the owner howled goodbye, then ran away.
Jiang Feng intends to treat Little White Wolf well, and if it grows up wild and wants to leave, he will respect its choice.
But for now, Little White Wolf plays happily with Border Collie and Golden Retriever.
In the future, it could definitely be a sword-wielding bodyguard before the emperor.
Or perhaps a white-robed general, a sage minister’s dream.
The dogs enjoy their meals voraciously in their respective bowls.
They seem very happy with their food.
Little White Wolf joins in too.
Jiang Feng sits on a chair watching them, especially Little White Wolf.
At present, Little White Wolf looks no different from a little white dog, unable to tell the difference.
As it grows, it will become more handsome.
Jiang Feng takes out his phone, reading the barrage comments.
The phone provides more barrage comments.
[Master Jiang, how did you train these dogs, they’re so obedient!]
[Yeah, they’re all so smart!]
[Can you teach me?]
Evidently, that one "play dead" earlier completely stunned the viewers.
Jiang Feng responds with a smile:
"It’s not that I’m good at training, these dogs are just smart."
"First are the three Border Collies, they can understand commands like handshake and sit at two months old, so learning to play dead isn’t so difficult."
"Then there’s Big Black Back, also known as the German Shepherd, and German Shepherds have high intelligence, making them easy to train."
"And there’s Golden Retriever Wangwang. Despite Wangwang having lots of tricks, it’s also very smart."
"They learn these commands quickly."
Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers then realize.
Jiang Feng then smiles mysteriously: "So everyone thinks playing dead is hard!"
"There’s something even harder!"
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers immediately respond:
[Master Jiang, hurry up, what’s going on!]
[Quickly let me see!]
[Any other commands!]
Jiang Feng said, "No rush, let’s wait until they finish eating."
The dogs ate quickly, and in no time, the pot of meat porridge was completely gone.
The dogs each grabbed a big bone, found a spot, and lay down to gnaw on them.
Jiang Feng called out:
"Lucky, come over!"
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the black Border Collie trotted over immediately.
"Bark once!"
"Woof!"
"Bark three times!"
"Woof woof woof!"
"Bark five times!"
"Woof woof woof woof woof!"
"Give them a fierce one!"
The Border Collie bared its teeth, emitting a threatening growl. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Bark softly once!"
The Border Collie lowered its voice and cautiously went "woof."
"Even softer!"
The Border Collie slightly opened its mouth, and like exhaling, made a very soft "woof" sound.
"Good, go back now."
Jiang Feng waved his hand.
This scene left the livestream audience staring in awe.
What’s this?
[Is that black Border Collie disguised as a human!]
[Master Jiang, sign the kid up for a class, don’t let them miss out on Tsinghua University!]
[So cute, even using a little puppy voice to woof!]
[Is the black Border Collie this talented? I’ve just realized!]
[Xiaojin Hua’s parents are amazing!]
[Hahaha, so funny!]
Things at the ranch are always so interesting.
Jiang Feng’s dog training suddenly became a hot topic among the audience.
At this moment, Liu Lai, the operator of the self-media account [Urban Observation], was in Jiang Feng’s livestream room.
Seeing this scene, he knew, here comes the material!
So, Liu Lai immediately saved Jiang Feng’s livestream video and started editing.
This type of video is easy to edit.
Just add some catchy background music, but not too loud.
Then pair it with a caption:
Master Jiang’s amazing dog-training skills.
Next, it’s Jiang Feng training the ranch dogs in the video.
The initial scene of five dogs lined up playing dead is already stunning.
The black Border Collie later woofing in a very soft voice further drew people’s affection.
Once this edited video was put out, the number of likes and comments immediately began to skyrocket.
Seeing this effect, Liu Lai smiled in satisfaction.
He muttered to himself, "Indeed, editing Master Jiang’s videos is all about who edits faster."
Jiang Feng’s livestream is great video material, so many self-media bloggers like to edit his videos.
When viewers come across Liu Lai’s video, they can’t help but stop and watch it till the end.
Seeing the dogs so obedient, viewers can’t help but click into the comments, both to read and leave their thoughts.
"It’s that ranch owner as the host. The animals he raises are truly interesting!"
"These few dogs are so smart!"
"I often come across the owner’s videos now, he’s becoming more popular!"
"Once you get to know him, you’ll find the owner’s streams very entertaining, and he’s quite nice!"
"Grassland King isn’t called that for no reason!"
"Can’t praise the owner, otherwise he’ll start showing off again!"
The video likes have exceeded 100,000, comments around 20,000, and the completion rate is over 80%.
Even though it’s just an edited self-media video, the numbers show enough of the audience’s enjoyment of Jiang Feng’s streams.
Inside the ranch, after lunch, the dogs began to play around.
Unnoticed, the Red Fox stood outside the yard, peering in curiously.
"Xiaojin Hua, your friend is looking for you!"
Seeing Xiaojin Hua over there, Jiang Feng called out.
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s call, Xiaojin Hua immediately pranced over, followed by Little White Wolf.
The Red Fox and Little White Wolf were familiar with each other, and with Xiaojin Hua present, they soon started running off together.
The street gang has gained a new member.
They gathered together, then ran to the pigsty to find Peppa.
Peppa somehow figured out how to play with them.
Perhaps Peppa felt she shouldn’t just be a pig in the sty, shouldn’t be like other pigs, just eating and sleeping around.
She was a free pig.
Anyway, Xiaojin Hua calls out to her a few times, and Peppa would hop over the pigsty to join the street gang.
With so many animals on the ranch, the drone captures motion everywhere it looks.
Having not much to do, Jiang Feng sat in the yard, looking at his phone, sharing stories about the grassland.
"Over here, it’s still chilly at night, only warmer at noon."
"In winter, cows and sheep are kept indoors. Life is relatively calm."
"My cattle farm is still under renovation. Once it’s nearly done, I’ll move the cows over, separating them from the sheep."
"Then I’ll buy some cattle for everyone to see in the livestream."
As Jiang Feng spoke, Golden Retriever Wangwang poked his way into Jiang Feng’s arms from the side, resting his big head on Jiang Feng’s lap, smiling and acting cute.
In terms of shepherding, this guy is clueless, but when it comes to acting cute and vying for attention, he’s an expert.
Jiang Feng patted its head, letting it be.
