After the Spring Festival, Jiang Feng plans to take the puppies and kittens back to the ranch.

Golden Retriever Wangwang is fighting with Lucky and Wealthy in the yard.

One Golden Retriever battles two Border Collies.

Both sides are bluffing, their mouths wide open, but neither dares to bite.

Big Black Back is already retired, lying in its nest and rarely coming out.

"Wangwang, we’re going back to the ranch, are you coming?"

Jiang Feng looked at the Golden Retriever and called out.

Golden Retriever Wangwang understood Jiang Feng’s words and immediately showed a pitiful expression, glancing at its own children.

The implication was that it has children here, making it inconvenient to leave.

Jiang Feng saw through its little thoughts at a glance.

It still wanted to stay by Mrs. Jiang’s side, as she takes it sunbathing and walking every day, which is much more comfortable than being at the ranch.

"Alright, you can stay here then."

Jiang Feng opened the car door, placed the Little Donkey in the backseat, and the other little ones jumped into the car one by one.

Cat Boss ran over aggressively.

In the last few days back home, Cat Boss went out to fight quite a bit, as Tabby Cats have that personality. After fighting to its heart’s content, it would return to the ranch to rest.

Jiang Feng’s parents were still talking about some matchmaking matters.

Apparently, someone had visited during the New Year, intending to arrange a blind date for Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng firmly refused.

He thought he would deal with such things later; after all, it’s only been over half a year since he graduated and he had no intention of it.

Besides, the environment at the ranch is relatively monotonous, and not everyone likes it.

Jiang Feng took back the same animals he brought with him when he came.

The cats and dogs coexisted peacefully in the car, all being cute pets, so the scene looked quite loving.

Only a donkey among them felt a bit out of place.

But the Little Donkey didn’t feel that way.

It lived happily with these cats and dogs, carefree all day long.

Thus, the whole family set off orderly, heading straight for the ranch.

After returning to the ranch, Jiang Feng checked around the place.

The condition of the cattle and sheep was fine.

Many ewes and cows were pregnant, and in about half a month, spring lambs would start to be born.

After returning to his room, Jiang Feng checked his current popularity value.

Including the popularity value accumulated from live streaming for a month before the New Year, his total popularity value reached over 28 million.

He thought for a while and decided to go all out.

"Let’s go for 28 Advanced Lotteries!"

He skipped the top-level ones and directly drew advanced ones.

Using small bets to gain big returns.

"Host chooses Advanced Lottery, drawing now..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item:"

"[Special Sterile Underwear (Blue)]*1: Special sterile underwear with antiseptic effects against harmful bacteria."

"[Special Sterile Underwear (Pink)]*1: Special sterile underwear with antiseptic effects against harmful bacteria."

The first two draws by the system almost made Jiang Feng lose his composure.

It would be fine if he drew underwear since it could inhibit harmful bacteria.

But what’s the deal with drawing a pink one?

Which proper man wears pink underwear!

Was it for Xiaofeng?

The system’s voice continued.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item:"

"Premium Tea Shaft Mechanical Keyboard*1; Treadmill*1; VR Glasses*1; XBOX Game Console*1; PS5 Game Console*1;"

"64-inch Large Color TV*1; Stationary Bike*1; Latest iPhone 512G Gold Edition*1; Latest model of Huawei phone*1"

A long string of rewards sounded again.

There was fitness equipment, and also tech devices, all quite practical for him.

Jiang Feng was very pleased with these rewards.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item:"

"Special Lettuce Seeds*1 pack; Special Tomato Seeds*1 pack; Special Garlic Seeds*1 pack; Special Potato Seeds*1 pack; Special Cilantro Seeds*1 pack"

"Special Pea Seeds*1 pack; Special Four Seasons Strawberry Seeds*1 pack; Special Pasture Grass Seeds*1 pack; Special Pasture Grass Seeds*1 pack; Special Pasture Grass Seeds*1 pack"

The next ten draws were all seeds, and Jiang Feng was also thinking of fencing off the outside land to build a vegetable garden in the spring.

The prairie wind is strong, and although the current piece of land is relatively low, the wind still blows in, making it difficult for crops to grow.

Including the two underwears, now a total of twenty-two draws had been done, and six remained.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item:"

"[Special Milk Powder]*100 packs: High nutritional value milk powder, suitable for feeding mammals."

"[Special Milk Powder]*100 packs: High nutritional value milk powder, suitable for feeding mammals."

"[Boiled Cabbage in Hot Water]*1: Sichuan cuisine, a famous national banquet dish."

"[Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Stirring Up a Ruckus]*1: Shandong cuisine, diverse ingredients, rich and fresh soup, beautiful color."

"[Rosewood Tea Table]*1: Solid wood furniture, premium rosewood, insect-proof and moth-proof, low-key luxury."

The system’s voice kept ringing, reaching twenty-seven times.

Until the last time, suddenly, a golden light flashed before Jiang Feng’s eyes.

"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill:"

"Swimming Mastery: The host’s swimming skills have improved, mastering various swimming styles, slightly enhancing the ability to hold breath and breathe."

The last lottery draw finally delivered a skill.

"Not bad, at least there’s a skill. But the Advanced Lottery items really can’t compare to the Top Level Lottery."

A quantitative change didn’t lead to a qualitative change.

In the future, it’s better to save popularity value for the Top Level Lottery.

During these twenty-eight draws, I got many seeds and many tech devices.

Some can be taken out directly from the system, while others are ordered through a personal account and then delivered to the ranch.

Jiang Feng immediately took out both pairs of underwear.

The blue underwear is not bad, dark blue, quite low-key.

The pink underwear is really pink, both inside and outside pink, and it’s a bright girly pink.

Though it can inhibit bacteria, Jiang Feng still can’t get over the mental hurdle, so he absolutely won’t wear it.

"Underwear underwear, wearing it’s perverse, discarding it’s a waste."

He could only sigh and then find another use for it.

The XBOX and PS5 can both be taken out directly, so Jiang Feng immediately got busy installing the TV and game console in his bedroom.

When there’s leisure, playing various big games feels great too.

Jiang Feng took out the boiled cabbage and tried it. As expected of a state banquet dish, it tasted indeed very good.

Then he went to sleep and rested.

The next day, Jiang Feng started live streaming.

It’s the New Year holiday, every household is resting at home, already feeling a bit bored.

So once he started streaming, netizens flooded into the live stream room, and soon the stream became lively.

[The host is live!]

[Finally back to the daily life on the prairie?]

[Happy New Year, host!]

As soon as the live stream started, the screen was filled with New Year blessings in the chat.

Along with the ice and snow of winter on the prairie, these messages also became especially festive.

Jiang Feng chuckled and said to everyone:

"I just finished New Year greetings and came back to the ranch."

"Today’s stream will feature making foil-wrapped steaks."

"This kind of dish is perfect for eating in winter!"

During the New Year period, every meal is a feast, and with no shortage of beef and mutton on the prairie, there is fresh meat to eat every day.

Jiang Feng went into the indoor kitchen, which was warm due to the heating.

Niu Erhu and Yang Maolin came in carrying a large piece of fresh steak.

Seeing the steak, the netizens were a bit dumbfounded.

This steak required two people to hold it, as one person couldn’t manage it with both arms around it.

[Wow, isn’t this the steak for the foil-wrapped steak!]

[This looks like an entire cow!]

[You could say it’s the whole cow, except they’ve taken the best rib meat in the middle!]

[What a large steak, so outrageous, I thought it was the small Western-style steak!]

[The table can barely fit it!]

Just as he started streaming, Jiang Feng had already planned a "big production."

He calmly said:

"This is how the foil-wrapped steak is here, we eat it once or twice during winter festivals."

"And the way it’s made here is different from other places."

Jiang Feng washed his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and began preparing the ingredients.

He brought a basin and poured some sauce of indiscernible ingredients over the steak.

"This sauce is secretly made here, roasted together with the raw meat, the flavor penetrates after cooking, and the meat is simply perfect."

As he spoke, Jiang Feng spread the sauce evenly over the steak with his hands.

He spread it open-handed, evenly applying it little by little.

Occasionally, he would pat the beef a few times.

"First, open the back with essential oils, then massage with ancient methods."

"This way, the meat will be more tender."

Jiang Feng narrated softly.

With his words, the screen was filled with question marks.

[????]

[Haha, the host must have had many massages! Knows quite a lot!]

[Already doing essential oil back massages?]

[Host, how much do you charge for a massage, I’m fair and beautiful, come give me an essential oil back massage!]

[Just afraid that after the back massage, you’ll have to drive away!]

Jiang Feng finished applying the sauce to the steak, then took a large cut onion and placed it in the crevice of the beef ribs.

Then, he washed his hands and started wrapping the steak in foil.

The silver foil was wrapped layer by layer, tightly sealing the steak with no gaps.

"Ingredients are ready, next we prepare the fire pit."

"The barbecue method this time will definitely surprise everyone."

Jiang Feng stepped outside, saying this again.
