Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 71 - 69: Little Border Collie Has a New Friend Again!
Most of the grass stacks at the ranch have been taken away.
There are still a thousand bundles of grass stacks left in the ranch as winter reserve food.
Forklifts keep driving into the ranch, piling up the grass stacks together.
The bottom layer is piled on with seven or eight first, then on the upper layer another six or seven, only two layers high.
Even so, the height of the two layers of grass stacks stacked up is taller than a person.
To ensure ventilation, there is space between the grass stacks, leaving a pathway.
Jiang Feng climbed to the top of the grass stack to sit.
The grass stack is very solid; sitting on it feels soft and extremely comfortable.
Drone footage captures this scene, and everyone gets excited seeing Jiang Feng sitting at the highest point of the grass stack.
[Seeing so many grass stacks, why do I suddenly want to climb up and play?]
[I also want to climb up and sit for a while, I’m already 30!]
[What’s wrong with 30, I’m thirty years old, and still feel like a kid!]
[Some farms allow visitors, they use grass stacks to form mazes inside, it’s very interesting!]
[These grass stacks look really comfortable!]
The forklifts are busy going back and forth so that it’s easier to use grass stacks in the winter; Jiang Feng also bought a new forklift for future use at the ranch.
Jiang Feng leisurely said:
"The grass cutting has come to a pause this year, and selling quite a bit has somewhat recouped the capital."
"Tomorrow, I plan to host a banquet at the ranch, roast a whole cow and two sheep to celebrate."
"The employees have worked hard, and should be rewarded."
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, comments kept pouring in.
[What? Another roast whole cow?]
[Bosses will be bosses, we can only worship!]
[I’ve watched his stream for a month, and he has roasted cows and sheep several times, truly rich and willful!]
[So many cows and sheep for just a few people, they can’t finish eating it in a lifetime!]
The ranch is naturally busy for a while and then idle for a while.
Every time it gets busy everyone works hard, as the owner of the ranch, Jiang Feng naturally wants to reward everyone.
Roasting whole cow and whole sheep is already scheduled.
Yang Maolin and Niu Erhu and others already prepared the cows and sheep today.
Also, workers from Jiang Feng’s uncle’s house will come to eat too.
Tomorrow’s cow and sheep banquet is being prepared excitedly.
The grass stacks gradually filled up an entire courtyard.
Jiang Feng looked at the condition of the grass field and figured that two more employees must be hired.
If not, when the cattle ranch separates next year, the work at the ranch won’t be finished.
Jiang Feng sat on the second layer of grass stack, at this time, he noticed Little Border Collie strutting in from outside.
Judging by its appearance, it seemed to be carrying something in its mouth.
Jiang Feng frowned slightly, immediately jumped off the grass stack, then walked toward Little Border Collie.
Netizens noticed this scene and curiously looked over too.
Jiang Feng walked up to Little Border Collie, squatted down, and grabbed Little Border Collie’s mouth.
"What are you carrying, spit it out!"
Jiang Feng hurriedly said.
Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Little Border Collie opened its mouth wide and spit out what’s inside.
Jiang Feng suddenly felt speechless.
What Little Border Collie spat out was a small hedgehog.
The hedgehog was somewhat bewildered at this moment, stretching its little head curiously glancing around.
Little Border Collie was showing a silly grin beside the hedgehog, looking very pleased with itself.
"Where did you find a hedgehog again?"
"You aren’t trying to befriend it too, are you!"
Jiang Feng said with a helpless smile.
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Little Border Collie wagged its tail even more excitedly.
Its behavior really seemed to be saying, "I made a new friend."
Netizens also had fun.
[Dog carrying a hedgehog? Won’t it prick its mouth?]
[This Border Collie always surprises me!]
[Hahaha, actually brought back a hedgehog!]
[This Little Border Collie is too cute!]
Jiang Feng picked up the hedgehog to take a look.
The little hedgehog looked like a drab grayish potato from the outside, but its tiny head was exceptionally adorable, and its small eyes were helplessly observing outside.
Jiang Feng said to Little Border Collie:
"Where did you carry it from, put it back."
"If it has parents or kids, what if you took it away from them?"
Little Border Collie glanced at the hedgehog in Jiang Feng’s hand, somewhat reluctant to leave it, as if it found a new toy. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Put it back!"
Jiang Feng placed the little hedgehog in front of Little Border Collie, and Little Border Collie gently picked up the hedgehog with its mouth, then turned to jog out of the yard.
Jiang Feng followed behind.
Little Border Collie kept trotting along, running all the way to the corner of the outer wall, then released the little hedgehog.
The little hedgehog looked from side to side, realizing it was in familiar territory, then leisurely lumbered away.
Little Border Collie turned to look at Jiang Feng.
"Yes, don’t force other animals, be more friendly."
Jiang Feng said with satisfaction, nodding.
Upon hearing this, Little Border Collie happily wagged its tail.
Jiang Feng walked back with it.
The picture of the person and dog was particularly heartwarming, netizens exclaimed one after another.
[That Border Collie is exceptionally smart, can it understand this much?]
[Border Collies are naturally smart!]
[Other people’s dogs are powerful, my Border Collie can only understand ’go play’ and words like that!]
[Not bad, my Husky is still ripping up the sofa, no matter how I scold, it’s useless!]
Inside the ranch, grass stacks are piling up more and more, the originally vacant area has now accumulated sheets of grass stacks.
Jiang Feng walked among the grass stacks, couldn’t see people on the other side across one set of grass stacks.
Ordinary shepherd families buy two grass stacks for winter which counts as good.
While at Jiang Feng’s ranch, the grass stacks pile up bigger than the house area.
These are his reserve supplies for the coming winter.
"Cows and sheep here only eat natural pasture grass, even in autumn and winter, they eat pasture grass."
"That’s why the beef and lamb taste particularly good."
"With these, at least one winter is worry-free."
Jiang Feng said leisurely.
At this moment, a netizen maliciously asked:
[Owner, what if these many grass stacks catch fire?]
Jiang Feng saw this question too.
He said to everyone: "Autumn fire prevention in grasslands is ingrained education for every household, whether Mongolians or Han People, this awareness is very strong."
"Because autumn is dry, grass is easily flammable, once a fire starts it’s truly hard to extinguish."
"If some grass fields catch fire, a whole area might burn. Although the fire won’t cause any casualties, losing that much grass is an enormous loss."
"So the best way is prevention, there are isolation passages between these grass stacks. If one segment catches fire, we would extinguish it as promptly as possible."
"Though such incidents are rare, taking preventive measures leaves little concern."
There are many fire prevention techniques.
The bonfire at the bonfire gathering, how to manage the stove pipe inside the Mongolian tents, when not to use charcoal, when only to use cow dung for burning, everyone abides by agreed rules.
Generations of herders obey these practices very well.
Natural disasters and calamities are very fearful for farmers and herders, unavoidable natural disasters hence make every effort to avoid man-made ones.
The last of the grass stacks are quite far from the ranch, lastly, two truckloads bring them back to finally pile all grass stacks inside.
Busy for over ten days, finally it’s finished.
There was help, along with mechanized handling, efficiency was already high.
Beef and lamb are marinated in spices, just waiting for tomorrow’s feast.
Jiang Feng leisurely took Little Border Collie to check on Golden Retriever Wangwang and Big Orange cat.
