Chapter 130: Chapter 128: Touring the Donkey Farm—Little Donkey and Big Donkey!

The courtyard at home is extremely lively.

Xiaojin Hua, Little Mongolian Mastiff, Little White Wolf, and seven Little Golden Retrievers are running around in chaos.

No one knows why, but all seven Little Golden Retrievers really like Cat Boss.

Whenever Cat Boss appears, the seven little fellows immediately chase after it.

It’s not a fight; they just come up to greet it, bumping their heads against its body.

Cat Boss is sandwiched by seven Little Golden Retrievers, unable to run in either direction, displaying a "life is hopeless" expression for the first time.

Now, when it sees the Little Golden Retrievers approaching, it quickly runs away, jumping onto the yard wall to feel a bit safer.

Jiang Feng captures these videos and posts them online.

Though he can’t do a live broadcast, viewers find joy in watching the adorable pets.

["Even the Little Golden Retrievers know how to admire cats!"]

["These Little Golden Retrievers have all joined the cat cult!"]

Everyone leaves comments under the video.

The video gets a high number of likes.

In the afternoon, Jiang Feng finds himself bored at home and decides to go out for a stroll.

As long as his parents are healthy, adults become kids when they return home—no need to worry about anything, just eat, drink, and have fun.

Jiang Feng doesn’t really have to do anything at home, but after resting for a few days, he feels a bit restless.

He starts contacting nearby farms, looking to explore others’ places and broaden his knowledge.

Since they’re all agricultural people, mutual understanding and learning are normal.

He contacts a friend and plans to visit a donkey farm in the suburbs.

So, Jiang Feng leads Little Donkey, drives his car, and sets out to the outskirts with a drone.

Having not broadcasted for a few days, Jiang Feng decides to go live as he explores.

The place he’s heading to is the Ximeng Dao Yuan Livestock Breeding Center, which is essentially a suburban donkey farm.

There’s a large factory building here, and the area is huge.

The owner of the donkey farm is Liu Wenwu, who warmly welcomes Jiang Feng upon knowing he’s coming.

At his kind of farm, people occasionally come by to exchange ideas and learn, mostly some self-media creators.

He also hopes more people will learn about his farm.

An influencer of Jiang Feng’s caliber is not someone you can hire just by spending money.

Now that he’s coming voluntarily, Liu Wenwu is naturally delighted.

The drone rises high into the air.

Aiming at the entrance of the farm.

Jiang Feng leads Little Donkey as he walks in.

Little Donkey is currently about the size of an adult Golden Retriever, wearing a dog harness and led by a leash.

Jiang Feng holds the leash, leading it as if walking a dog.

Little Donkey is a pet donkey, similar to a pet dog, with a gentle temperament.

Seeing Jiang Feng go live, the viewers rush into the live room.

The description under the live broadcast says "Visiting the donkey farm for a tour and exchange today."

So the audience also knows what he is going to do.

["Is the master broadcasting? It’s not easy!"]

["Haven’t gone live for several days, feels a bit unaccustomed!"]

["Finally seeing the master again, what a surprise!"]

["Why come to the donkey farm today, planning to raise donkeys?"]

["A pleasant surprise, finally something entertaining while playing DNF!"]

The number of people in the live room begins to rise rapidly.

"Hello, President Liu," Jiang Feng smiles and greets Liu Wenwu.

"Hello, hello, welcome, Master Jiang!" Liu Wenwu is quite polite.

Accompanying them is an employee from the donkey farm, following outside the camera, occasionally taking out his phone to glance at the live broadcast.

He watches the number rise dramatically in the top right corner.

500, 2000, 7000, 10,000+...

The employee is also somewhat surprised.

The popularity is genuinely astonishing.

Jiang Feng speaks to the viewers in the live room:

"Today, visiting the donkey farm to understand the risks, costs, and benefits of raising donkeys."

"As you all know, I raise a donkey myself, namely Elovis."

"This broadcast also serves as a window for those who want to or are already engaged in farming, to better understand the situation of raising various livestock."

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, viewers respond one after another:

["I don’t raise donkeys, but I love watching this kind of broadcast!"]

["First time knowing there’s donkey raising!"]

["Sure there is, otherwise where to buy donkey meat burgers!"]

["Such a large farm must be a million-dollar investment. In my area, someone invested five million in cattle farming—a real bold move!"]

["The master himself invested twenty to thirty million!"]

Then, Jiang Feng chats with Liu Wenwu, and Liu Wenwu begins introducing the farm situation,

"Currently, I have 1,200 donkeys here. It takes about three years for donkeys to go to market, a relatively long time."

"But from the current perspective, donkey farming has the lowest risk among all farming industries."

"Donkeys have strong vitality, are hardworking, and don’t easily get sick; they just need to be well taken care of."

During the conversation, Liu Wenwu occasionally glances at Elovis.

It’s his first time seeing such a petite Little Donkey.

This Little Donkey, hardly enough for a donkey meat burger filling.

Little Donkey seems very excited, eagerly moving forward.

Due to the continuous donkey braying deep in the farm, making the area quite lively.

Little Donkey thinks they are its kind.

Jiang Feng and Liu Wenwu enter the donkey farm; some donkeys are inside the farm, others in the outside pen.

Jiang Feng introduces to the viewers:

"Don’t be fooled by how all donkeys look alike; they’re divided into over ten varieties."

"For instance, the ’Three Whites Donkey’ refers to donkeys whose belly, ears, and mouth are white."

"There are also Guandong Donkeys, Mongolian Donkeys, Xinjiang Asouk Little Donkeys, and so on."

"Different donkeys have varying qualities."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Liu Wenwu quite agreed and immediately chimed in:

"That’s right, I have more Inner Mongolian donkeys and Sanfen donkeys here."

Liu Wenwu didn’t expect Jiang Feng to know about donkeys too.

Too many people are raising the five livestock of the grasslands, and standing out is difficult, so Liu Wenwu decided to take a different path.

At first, it was tiring, and he endured a lot of hardships, but he gradually found his way, established channels, and his life gradually became more orderly.

Donkey breeding occupies a very small share in the livestock market and is still considered a blue ocean industry.

At this moment, an employee was driving a donkey outward.

The employee needed to clean the donkey pen, and all the donkeys inside had already gone out, leaving only this one.

However, this donkey was stubborn to the core, refusing to move no matter what, and it was useless for the employee to pull it.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng burst out laughing.

Pointing forward, he said to the netizens:

"Look over there, the donkey’s stubborn streak is acting up."

"Donkeys have a trait where if you go along with them, they’ll do whatever."

"But if a donkey’s temper flares up, there’s nothing you can do about it."

"This guy is really stubborn."

Liu Wenwu also saw the scene of the employee pulling the donkey, and it seemed a bit comical, which made Liu Wenwu feel a bit awkward.

He also said:

"This is the trickiest part of raising donkeys. Sometimes when a donkey refuses to move, we just wheel them out on a cart."

"It’s all about fearing when their stubborn temper comes out."

Hearing the two speak this way, netizens didn’t expect such situations to occur.

[Stubborn donkey, that’s for real!]

[I’ve raised donkeys, and sometimes you just can’t understand them, stubborn to death!]

[What is it like to raise 1,200 donkeys!]

[Haha, seeing humans helpless like this is oddly amusing!]

The employee was still trying to pull the donkey out, but the donkey was determined not to budge.

Originally, in such a situation, you could only wait for the donkey’s mood to subside.

But at this moment, the donkey suddenly saw Elovis, the Little Donkey that Jiang Feng was leading.

The donkey in the pen was immediately bewildered.

Ignoring the farmhand, it directly walked out of the pen and lowered its head to look at Elovis.

The little donkey was very happy, even making playful sounds.

It seemed to think it could grow just as big one day.

The big donkey lowered its head, unbelievingly looking at the little donkey, and its previous stubbornness was thrown to the wind.

Jiang Feng found the scene quite interesting and smiled slightly.

Then, Jiang Feng led the little donkey outside.

He walked from the indoor donkey barn to the outdoor pen.

Outside, there were many black donkeys resting inside the iron fence.

Some poked their heads out to look, while others communicated with each other.

Suddenly, the donkey at the front saw Elovis and started braying.

Accompanied by their braying, more and more donkeys joined in.

Even the farm owner, Liu Wenwu, didn’t anticipate this situation.

The little donkey ran to the pen’s side, wagging its little tail and happily greeting the big donkeys.

It thought of them as the same kind, as friends.

Miniature donkeys are naturally social animals; their greatest fear is loneliness, so they are very enthusiastic and gentle.

The donkeys outside were all lowering their heads, watching this little fellow.

Beside the pen was an ordinary young donkey, but even this donkey was much larger than Elovis.

The scene was quite fascinating.

It was like a group of tigers looking at an adorable kitten.

Elovis was not anxious at all and even approached to greet the other big donkeys.

With innocence and a bit of naivety, it seemed very endearing.

[This little donkey is so adorable!]

[This scene is amusing, every time I see the little donkey with other horses or donkeys, it’s so funny!]

[It might not know that these big donkeys are raised for meat and only live for three to four years!]

[Pets definitely live the good life, nothing can be done about it!]

The live comments kept pouring in.

Jiang Feng looked at the scene of over a thousand donkeys gathering, feeling at ease.

He mainly raised cattle, sheep, and camels.

He rarely saw so many donkeys.

Occasionally witnessing a sea of donkey heads was quite refreshing.

"Master Jiang, I can’t compare with your large ranch."

"Just the over thirty-four thousand acres of pasture are enough to make one envious."

Liu Wenwu sighed, expressing his envy of Jiang Feng’s ranch.

"I just earn some hard-earned money."

Jiang Feng said modestly.

"Have you thought about raising donkeys in the future? I’m now setting up a breeding center to drive surrounding development with my industry."

Liu Wenwu added.

For a donkey farm of over a thousand heads like this, the investment was several million, usually by small local enterprises.

If operated well, it can easily drive surrounding development.

The breeding center nurtures donkey foals, allowing local villagers to raise them, providing a full set of post-process support, and buying back the donkeys once grown.

Villagers can also make some money.

This model suits county towns in various regions but is not suitable for the grassland interior.

After all, every household in the pastoral area is a herder, with their own cattle and sheep.

"I’m not considering raising donkeys. I have pastureland, and cattle and sheep yields are better."

Jiang Feng politely declined.

He broadcasted scenes from the farm, allowing many people to see the reality of agricultural life and gain a deeper understanding of the outside world.

Many self-media bloggers are like this now, and they are referred to as new farmers, bringing many changes to agriculture.

This is one of the meanings of live streaming.
