Now reading: Chapter 81 - 79: No Idle Dogs on My Ranch! from Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland, a Fantasy novel by Epiphyllum Falls.

In the yard, Jiang Feng picked up a clean knife.

He approached the table and sliced into the waterlon with a single stroke.

As the waterlon was cut open, all the online viewers’ attention shifted there.

Comnts started coming in.

Everyone hoped he’d cut into a waterlon with pink flesh inside.

However, when the waterlon was cut in half, the viewers in the livestream were stunned.

Both halves were full of orange-red flesh, smooth and even at the cut, with not a single seed visible.

The rind was extrely thin, so thin that one might not notice it from afar.

Jiang Feng had anticipated this result.

He smiled slightly, "Not bad, this waterlon is passable. It would be even better chilled in cold water."

The viewers were already buzzing with excitent.

[Wow, this is the waterlon of my dreams!]

[Does a waterlon like that really exist?]

[I don’t believe it unless you send one!]

[Host, forget the ranch, just grow waterlons!]

[Is this a special effect?]

[The host must have so tricks up his sleeve!]

Comnts kept pouring in.

The waterlon looked just too good.

Jiang Feng sliced a few more tis, cutting the waterlon into pieces, then picked up a piece and took a light bite.

With one bite, the refreshing flesh instantly turned into sweet juice.

This waterlon was very crisp, giving a crunchy sensation when bitten, transforming easily and providing a pleasant eating experience.

"Hmm, not bad at all."

Jiang Feng was quite satisfied with the waterlon he had grown.

At this mont, a few small creatures were watching him at his feet.

A little golden Border Collie, a red fox, a little pink pig, and a gray goose.

The ranch’s street-smart gang.

Jiang Feng took so pieces of waterlon and fed them to each one.

The little Border Collie licked the waterlon twice, nibbling gently; the fox squinted its eyes, smiling happily, and also bit into the waterlon piece by piece.

As for Peppa the pink pig, it swallowed the whole piece, rind and all.

The goose didn’t eat waterlon, so it just sniffed at the sll and lost interest.

Jiang Feng found Peppa cute and fed it two more pieces of waterlon.

Peppa grunted happily, almost swallowing each piece whole.

The scene was quite amusing.

Seeing these adorable creatures, the viewers in the livestream felt their mood lighten.

Jiang Feng himself ate a few pieces of waterlon and also fed so to the little ones in front of him.

He spoke up:

"I think I have about seventy or eighty waterlons in the field."

"There are so many people on my ranch, I doubt even half will be eaten."

"If I leave them, the waterlons will rot."

"For a ranch like mine, it’s impossible to wait for food to spoil before dealing with it."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers wondered if he intended to sell the waterlons.

Then, Jiang Feng changed the topic and said:

"The uneaten waterlons can only be smashed and fed to the pigs as a sweet treat for them."

"However, I will be mindful. First, I’ll feed them at noon when it’s hot to help the pigs cool down."

"Second, I won’t feed sick pigs, as waterlons are too cold, and eating too much isn’t good for the pigs."

"Feeding them a couple of tis won’t affect their health."

Hearing this, the viewers felt a bit helpless.

[Such good waterlons fed to pigs? That’s too wasteful!]

[What a luxury!]

[If you can’t finish them, and they can’t be transported far, they can only rot in the field!]

[Isn’t this normal? Many farrs bury unsold fruits in the ground, making use of them!]

[Letting them spoil instead of feeding them to pigs would be the real waste!]

Everyone was discussing.

Jiang Feng didn’t look at the comnts, he was just playing with the little ones.

At that mont, he noticed the little Border Collie staring intently in a certain direction.

So, Jiang Feng followed its gaze.

He saw sothing resembling a mouse scurrying across.

Jiang Feng quickly stood up and walked towards the wall.

Getting closer, he found that the moving creature was actually a hedgehog.

The hedgehog had a piece of dry grass in its mouth and was happily trotting along.

The drone followed Jiang Feng, and the viewers also noticed the hedgehog entering the yard.

[A hedgehog ca in, what’s it doing?]

[Is it here to steal grass?]

The viewers, unfamiliar with hedgehog behavior, were quite curious.

Jiang Feng imdiately explained:

"This hedgehog is making a nest. It seems to know my yard is safe and ca here to build its nest."

"Typically, a hedgehog building a nest ans it’s pregnant and will give birth."

"It doesn’t need my interference, hedgehogs have their own ways of living."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that it had co to build a nest.

Watching the hedgehog trot with a few pieces of grass, the viewers couldn’t help but laugh.

The little creatures on the ranch were always so cheerful.

Soone comnted:

[Pregnant animals always find the safest places, it seems the hedgehog trusts the host.]

[The host is really a good person!]

[It’s co here for so postpartum care!]

[Haha, does it also want the host to look after it?]

Many longti viewers were well acquainted with the ranch; they knew the cats and dogs were recently born and that Jiang Feng took care of them daily.

Jiang Feng really liked taking care of the little animals, given he didn’t have much to do, raising so animals was pleasant.

The hedgehog had its way of life, so there was no need for his assistance.

At this mont, Xiaojin Hua ran over from behind and approached the hedgehog, lowering its head to sniff it.

The hedgehog responded to it friendlily with a few sounds.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng knew that the little hedgehog was already a friend of Xiaojin Hua.

The little hedgehog was probably the one Xiaojin Hua had carried before, sohow they’d started playing together.

The little Border Collie seed to be rising as the leader of the ranch animals.

Making connections, managing the ranch, and eventually, all the cattle and sheep would follow its orders.

This little guy was Jiang Feng’s most capable assistant.

Jiang Feng returned to the yard and glanced toward the doghouse.

He saw it was still the Border Collie, Wealthy, taking care of the little Golden Retriever.

Golden Retriever Wangwang had no idea where it had run off to play.

As Jiang Feng had expected.

Wealthy had a strong maternal instinct, liking to take care of puppies, while Wangwang was playful and uninterested in its offspring, preferring freedom.

This arrangent worked perfectly.

The longti viewers saw this and comnted:

[Wealthy is still caring for the little Golden Retriever, so dedicated!]

[But what about nursing? Since Wangwang is the mother, Wealthy can’t produce milk, right?]

[Did you forget about the host? The host is half a babysitter!]

[Haha, I’m really looking forward to seeing the Golden Retriever herd sheep!]

[Will they learn to herd by the day after tomorrow?]

[With proper training, even native dogs can herd sheep!]

Xiaojin Hua snuggled into the doghouse to play, Wealthy saw it co in, and invited Xiaojin Hua inside as well.

Jiang Feng watched from outside and said:

"In a few days, when the puppies open their eyes, they’ll follow Wealthy and Lucky."

"They’ll think they’re sheepdogs."

"Then we can show them the herding process, and it should be fine."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the longti viewers beca particularly excited about the little Golden Retriever’s future.

[Host, are you sure it’s okay?]

[You’re going to turn a Golden Retriever into a Border Collie!]

[If the Golden Retriever starts herding, I’ll eat my shoe live!]

[Gold on the outside, but a herding heart within!]

[Host: My ranch doesn’t keep idle dogs!]

[That big Golden Retriever sure seems idle!]

Seeing the comnts, Jiang Feng smiled and said:

"I’ll try to train them that way."

"But it doesn’t matter if the little Golden Retriever can’t herd."

"If it can’t, we’ll just get a couple more sheepdogs."

"Having them around for so fun is enough!"
