Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 314 - 311: Unexpected Results, the Miraculous Effects of Chinese Leek!

In the living room, a few little Border Collie puppies were running around wildly.

These puppies are now at an age when both people and other dogs find them annoying.

All animal cubs go through this period, including humans.

It’s truly annoying.

Even Milk Candy and Xiaojin Hua couldn’t control them together.

The little Border Collie puppies always bite things randomly.

Regarding this, Jiang Feng felt a bit helpless.

Every time a little Border Collie chewed on the sofa, Jiang Feng immediately went over and grabbed it by the scruff of the neck to lift it up.

The little guy immediately started acting cute and whining.

Jiang Feng put the little guy down, and it lay on the ground, ears flattened, sincerely admitting its mistake.

Seeing it so sincere, Jiang Feng didn’t have the heart to say much.

But after a while, the little guy started chewing on the sofa again.

The main theme is "I know I’m wrong, but I just won’t change."

Luckily, there wasn’t much on the living room floor, and the little guys wouldn’t touch the wooden tables and chairs.

Besides, Jiang Feng didn’t allow them into his bedroom, so the sofa was the only victim.

Outside, the rain was still pouring down heavily.

Jiang Feng put on a raincoat and went outside to inspect.

No choice, with such a large pasture, he could never rest easy.

Jiang Feng went to the sheep pen to check on the newborn lambs.

The little lambs and ewes were all inside, and their emotions were quite stable.

On the vacant lot beside them, several clean bales of hay were placed for feeding at any time.

The temperature inside the sheep pen was a bit low, but it didn’t affect the cattle and sheep much.

When Jiang Feng appeared at the sheep farm, all the sheep turned their gaze toward him.

Jiang Feng casually picked up a pitchfork and threw several bunches of hay into the trough.

After feeding the sheep, Jiang Feng went to check other areas.

The rain poured for two days and two nights, finally stopping on the third day.

By this time, the grasslands were starting to show vigor, the once hazy green had become much bolder.

Where there was no grass, it was still quite muddy.

Jiang Feng also didn’t let the cats and dogs run around outside, or they’d be covered in mud, which would be hard to clean.

Taking advantage of the morning, Jiang Feng put on rain boots and went outside to the pasture, starting a livestream.

The rain on the grasslands seemed not to have completely dissipated yet.

Sparkling droplets covered the grass leaves.

[Has the rain stopped? So beautiful!]

[Does the grass grow this fast? Just a few days ago it was all green, and now it’s so lush!]

[The pasture after the rain looks great too!]

The number of viewers in the livestream room increased rapidly.

Jiang Feng looked at the accumulated rainwater on the ground and said slowly:

"Though it only rained for two days, this rain came with a force, flooding has emerged in some areas."

"This year’s rain came very suddenly, could be due to the typhoon."

"Many people in various places probably have it tough."

But he didn’t say much more.

The pasture’s drainage system was excellent, so neither the residential nor livestock areas were greatly affected.

At this moment, Yang Maolin approached Jiang Feng.

"Boss, Mandula Map is here, saying he’s got business with you."

Yang Maolin said to Jiang Feng.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng immediately went to meet Mandula Map.

The livestream was temporarily closed.

Jiang Feng guessed it might be about the heavy rain, perhaps the neighboring pasture needed help.

After all, being neighbors, it’s only right to help when needed.

But the outcome was beyond Jiang Feng’s expectations.

Mandula Map was carrying a bag of beef jerky, clearly top-quality beef jerky roasted from high-grade beef.

"Jiang Feng, I came by and brought you some beef jerky, all roasted from pasture-fed cattle, absolutely delicious."

Mandula Map said with a big smile.

Seeing Mandula Map’s expression, Jiang Feng was slightly puzzled.

"Mandula Map, if there’s something, just say it outright. You know my way, I don’t beat around the bush."

Jiang Feng asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Mandula Map gave an embarrassed smile, then leaned closer to Jiang Feng and whispered:

"It’s about that... the leeks you gave me last time, is there more?"

Leeks?

Jiang Feng was slightly astonished.

About a month ago, Jiang Feng got some leek seeds from a prize draw, which he planted in the vegetable garden.

That day, Mandula Map came over; they wanted to make dumplings but were short of leeks, so Jiang Feng casually gave him a bunch.

Unexpectedly, just days after the rain stopped, he eagerly came over to ask for more.

"Leeks? That variety is indeed special, but the amount is limited."

"Why, did it work well?"

Jiang Feng couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this, Mandula Map replied with excitement:

"The effect was great, almost gave me health problems."

"My old man usually doesn’t move much, just sits in the sun, but after eating those leeks, he went for a stroll around the pasture, lap after lap."

"I even felt my body heat up, and my energy increased significantly."

Hearing Mandula Map’s words, Jiang Feng was somewhat stunned.

"Are you sure it’s because of the leeks? Did you drink some potent tonic wine or consume some cordyceps?

"Leeks aren’t usually that dramatic."

Jiang Feng continued.

"No mistake, I tried other things later, but nothing had the same effect."

"I ate some chives, and my energy came back."

"Feels like a great tonic, almost like wild cordyceps, really useful, I think."

"Thinking of asking for more."

Mandula Map said.

The chives Jiang Feng grew were won in a lottery, definitely a tonic.

They’re stronger than ordinary chives.

He has a packet of chive seeds; he planted about a quarter of it, enough to cover a patch.

Jiang Feng said, "Alright, I’ll cut some more for you."

"But these were sent by my friend at the Agricultural Research Institute, there’s just a bit, once it’s cut, it’s gone."

"I heard it’s a specially developed variety, difficult to cultivate, specifically for leaders to eat. Getting some is not easy for me either."

Jiang Feng casually mentioned the source to avoid further explanation.

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Mandula Map realized he has connections with the Agricultural Research Institute headquarters, and marveled:

"It’s gotta be you, your connections are impressive, the Institute even sent you this variety."

The two went to the vegetable garden.

Despite the torrential rain, the garden maintained a basic state.

The chives were growing well.

Jiang Feng cut a handful of chives and handed it to Mandula Map.

There were some left, just enough for Jiang Feng’s daily consumption.

"This is all that’s left, the rest is for me," Jiang Feng said.

"It’s enough, enough, this variety is really rare."

"Feels almost the same as the wild ginseng I’ve had."

Mandula Map said with a cheerful smile.

Chives don’t cost much, just a few bucks a handful.

Giving some away is no big deal.

However, seeing Mandula Map’s state, Jiang Feng got interested in these chives as well.

There are many ways to cook chives, whether stir-fried directly, made into dumpling filling, or even served cold.

But Jiang Feng’s approach is simple: barbecue.

String the chives together, brush with seasoning, lightly grill, and dip in sauce for a unique flavor.

Jiang Feng skewered two sticks of chives, returned to the yard, and opened the grill for a barbecue.

Liu Yiyi should be at the neighboring pasture, preparing arrangements for renovation.

She wants to build a beautiful sightseeing area.

This idea is similar to some people wanting to open inns or cafes.

But reality is far more tiring than imagined, and opening an inn carries significant risks.

Jiang Feng busied himself with barbecuing the chives.

The dogs noticed Jiang Feng was grilling something and gathered over.

Seeing him handle the green vegetables, they quickly ran off.

Jiang Feng grilled the chives, then dipped them in seasoning, and ate them.

As an appetizer, the chives had a nice texture.

It’s well known that chives are a good tonic, especially praised for enhancing yang energy.

They indeed work.

Though the effects aren’t exaggerated, eating them doesn’t feel different from usual.

Whether they’re effective or not might be revealed at night.

People on the grassland are accustomed to napping.

Jiang Feng and Liu Yiyi are no exception.

With rain, the weather was a bit damp, so both Jiang Feng and Liu Yiyi’s clothes were somewhat wet.

At noon, they both took a bath before napping.

While trying to sleep, Jiang Feng felt sleepless, and Liu Yiyi’s fragrant scent made him a little restless.

Liu Yiyi sensed Jiang Feng’s movements and asked,

"Already restless at noon?"

Jiang Feng replied, "Yeah, ate some great tonic, feeling a bit restless."

"Sleeping will help, go to sleep." Liu Yiyi snuggled into his arms, gently stroked Jiang Feng’s face, and comforted him.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi was unaware of the seriousness.

Jiang Feng turned over and got busy.

Indeed, the chives really work.

No wonder Mandula Map specifically came over to request more.

That afternoon Jiang Feng didn’t go live.

When they woke up, it was already six or seven in the evening.

Rainy afternoon naps are just like that, waking up groggy and feeling stiff.

Liu Yiyi’s eyes were still glistening, "What time is it?"

She asked groggily.

"Six forty, you rest, I’ll find you something to eat." Jiang Feng glanced at the clock, freed Liu Yiyi’s arm from holding him, and got up.

"Hmm, I want the roast duck from the management area, just opened, very delicious." Liu Yiyi said.

"Okay, I’ll head to the management area just to buy roast duck."

"Bring me a cup of fruit tea."

"Passion fruit, half sugar, no ice, right? No problem."

Jiang Feng got dressed.

Then grabbed his car keys and headed out.

He stretched a bit.

Felt pretty comfortable overall, except for his legs being a bit weak.

He got in the car and headed towards the management area.

The area is a tourist spot, mainly featuring ranch sightseeing projects, and also taking photos in Mongolian clothing.

Modern tourism, wearing costumes that match the local features, is quite popular.

Jiang Feng drove, bought roast duck, and got two cups of milk tea.

Some tourists noticed him and came over to take photos with him.

Life was calm and steady, just as usual.
