The blanched beef was set aside.

The earthen pot was heated on the stove.

Seeing the earthen pot heat up, Jiang Feng put a few pieces of rock sugar into the pot to melt.

Soon, the melted sugar turned a dark jujube color.

Seeing the change in the sugar’s color, Jiang Feng put all the beef into the pot and started to stir-fry.

Sizzle sizzle~

The beef and sugar sauce mixed together, and as he constantly stir-fried, every inch of the beef was dyed a deep red sugar color.

Watching the beef gradually cook in the pot, viewers couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Next, Jiang Feng put all the chopped green onions and ginger into the pot, then poured in dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, and added some of his carefully concocted secret sauce.

After adding another pot of clear water, Jiang Feng covered the pot with the lid.

"The beef needs to cook in the earthen pot for about two hours."

"Once the flavor seeps into the beef, and the beef is fully cooked, just add some salt, and you can eat it."

"Whether the braised beef is delicious depends on the seasoning and the heat."

"First, simmer it on high heat, then stew it slowly on low heat."

"When the beef is cooked, just cook a pack of instant noodles."

Saying this, Jiang Feng took a simple pack of instant noodles from the fridge.

Seeing the simple packaging of the instant noodles, everyone thought for a moment that the noodles didn’t match a pot of beef like this.

As the meal would take some time, Jiang Feng went to the sheep pen to look at the lambs for a while.

At this moment in the sheep pen, the whole place was packed with lambs if you look around.

The little lambs gathered together to play all day, full of childlike innocence.

When the time was just about right, Jiang Feng returned to the kitchen.

The viewers were eagerly anticipating his braised beef noodles.

Jiang Feng lifted the pot lid and glanced at the beef inside the earthen pot. Under the pressure cooking with the spices and sauce, the beef’s fibers expanded with heat, releasing a rich taste into the soup, and the beef chunks became rosy and plump.

Then, Jiang Feng heated another pot of hot water.

He put the instant noodles into the boiling water and just cooked it for about three minutes before he scooped the noodles into a big bowl with a slotted spoon.

Jiang Feng turned off the heat, took down the earthen pot, and scooped a spoonful of beef and soup into the bowl with a small spoon.

Then, Jiang Feng stirred the instant noodles, allowing them to fully combine with the rich broth.

After stirring a few times, he picked up the instant noodles, slurped up several strands.

"Hmm, the noodles are chewy, and the broth is excellent!"

Jiang Feng said with a smile.

He then picked up a piece of beef that had been stewed in the stock for two hours and bit into it.

The rich broth burst out from the beef, mixed with the beef’s savory taste and various seasonings.

The beef broke apart with a bite, even bringing a touch of tenderness.

Jiang Feng scooped out a large piece of beef, a bit of beef tendon, and an egg.

Looking at the bowl of simple braised beef noodles, the viewers drooled with envy.

[Isn’t the picture on the bucket of instant noodles inspired by the host’s noodles?]

[If this is called braised beef noodles, then what have I been eating under the name of braised beef noodles?]

[There’s more beef than noodles!]

[That pot of stock looks delicious too!]

Jiang Feng ate joyfully, polishing off a packet of noodles in just a few bites.

Feeling not quite satisfied, Jiang Feng cooked another pack of instant noodles.

The noodles became tender in the boiling water in just three minutes, and Jiang Feng fished them out, then started scooping beef and broth, enjoying it more and more.

Just then, Yang Maolin walked over to discuss the spring sheep sales with Jiang Feng.

The ranch recently received two more orders, each requiring a hundred fine Ujumqin sheep, and Yang Maolin had selected some of the fattest ones, already prepared.

In spring, the sheep are mostly not fat, so the unit price would be a bit higher, but Jiang Feng’s pasture has plenty of grass, and the sheep are all plump and strong, able to fetch a good price when sold.

Jiang Feng never discusses prices during his live broadcast.

His ranch has its own sales channels, so there’s no need to provoke discussion among the viewers.

The herding area distinguishes between grassland sheep and fattened sheep, with the latter being of lower quality, having heavier gamey and fishy flavors.

And Hulunbei’er and Xilingol are both famous for their grassland sheep.

This type of grassland sheep is of excellent quality and in high demand.

In general, they don’t even make it out of the surrounding provinces before being completely sold out.

"Old Yang, have a bowl of noodles first."

There was still half a pot of soup left, Jiang Feng had already eaten his fill, so he treated Yang Maolin with braised beef noodles.

Recently, Yang Maolin had been working hard, as there were too many spring lambs, and just watching over them each day consumed a lot of time.

Yang Maolin, feeling very hungry, sat down at once when he saw the noodles being prepared.

"Boss, everyone says you’re especially good at cooking. When I was chatting with the folks over at Maodeng, even the herdsmen said so."

"Today, I finally have a chance to mooch a meal."

Yang Maolin said politely.

Jiang Feng cooked him a packet of noodles, then poured beef soup with beef and beef tendon over it.

Smelling the meaty aroma from the noodle soup, Yang Maolin, who was already drooling, quickly lowered his head and started eating in big mouthfuls as soon as the noodles were served.

The men here are quite rugged, Yang Maolin had just a few bites, and the bowl of noodles with meat and stock was all gone.

This scene made the viewers stare in amazement.

[Wow! Eating so fast, is it magic?]

[Watching them eat looks so delicious!]

[Looks so appetizing, it’s dinner time, I’m hungry!]

[Haven’t eaten instant noodles in a while, quietly cooked a bowl for myself!]

After eating the noodles, Yang Maolin felt warm in his stomach, and his mouth filled with a fresh savory taste, extremely comfortable.

His eyes brightened slightly.

"Director, the taste is really good!"

"Way better than those made by Gelya and Old Sun!"

Yang Maolin exclaimed in astonishment.

Old Sun is the chef in the ranch kitchen, also responsible for electrical work and line maintenance, a versatile talent.

Jiang Feng replied, "Don’t say that, it wouldn’t be nice if they heard it."

"There’s still half a pot left, and I have a few bags of noodles there, just cook and finish it all yourself."

Upon hearing this, Yang Maolin immediately started working, he also said:

"Alright, Director, you go ahead, I’ll clean up here, definitely spotless."

"I’ve picked the sheep already, contact the other side tomorrow, ready for transport anytime."

"Okay." Jiang Feng nodded, then stood up to go outside, preparing to feed the little ones.

His sheep priced around two thousand five each, varying slightly based on weight.

Prairie sheep indeed cost more than fattened sheep, and their meat quality is better.

Prairie folks have grades for mutton.

They eat meat from a young age, knowing good or bad mutton upon tasting.

Families with slightly better conditions would pursue good prairie sheep mutton, so Jiang Feng’s ranch farming is a no-loss business.

"Sold another two hundred sheep, calculated at two thousand five each, around 500,000."

"Recovered spring’s costs, still made some profit."

"But the number of adult sheep left isn’t much, need to raise the lambs better this year."

He calculated silently in his heart.

Then Jiang Feng checked on the little guys’ dining situation.

Every day, the kitchen prepares some meat for the puppies, all leftover scraps and some fatty meats, stir-fried a bit, then fed to the dogs.

The puppies Jiang Feng raises always have good meals.

Days gradually stabilized, Jiang Feng still livestreams daily, also updating videos.

His popularity remains steady.

Spring is a busy season, ranch life is quite lively every day.

Time quickly passed into May.

The grass on the pasture has grown, very lush.

Looking around, it’s all verdant and green.

His ranch’s geographic location is best, plus Jiang Feng uses lottery-drawn pasture seeds, after a spring rain, the pasture started growing fiercely.

As the saying goes, a good winter foretells a fruitful year, for herders, lush pasture truly forecasts a bountiful year.

That night, Jiang Feng settled the day’s popularity value, his total popularity reached over twenty-eight million.

So, Jiang Feng chose two Top Level Lotteries, and three Advanced Lotteries

"The host chooses Top Level Lottery, drawing...."

"Congratulations host for acquiring skill:"

"Canine Affinity: Canine animals feel a sense of affinity from the host, especially unfamiliar canine animals."

"Congratulations host for acquiring item:"

"Complete Ranch Monitoring System: Covers twenty-six high-definition cameras, can monitor inside scenes of the ranch, also the gate situation."

The rewards for Top Level Lottery are always good, the ranch currently has a few cameras but can only monitor limited areas, a good set of monitoring equipment is expensive, even can reach millions.

Now being able to upgrade to new monitoring, Jiang Feng is naturally pleased.

"The host chooses Advanced Lottery, drawing....."

"Congratulations host for acquiring item:"

"Special Insecticide Liquid: Special insecticide liquid, spray it onto animal fur, can prevent fur from being infested by ticks."

"Special Insecticide Powder*10 bags: Colorless and odorless insecticide powder, use by mixing in clean water, can help deworm approximately three thousand animals."

"Air Conditioner*1: Haier Brothers’ latest model cabinet air conditioner."

The system rewards sounded once again.

This time’s rewards also pleased Jiang Feng.

There are examples in the ranch of breeds being infested by parasites, even eggs in the bloodstream, causing them not to live long.

Jiang Feng has been worried his Border Collies could also be such, thus he regularly deworms them. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Whereas Mongolian Mastiffs and native dogs, Huaxia’s native breeds, are quite resistant to pests, but still need deworming.

Moreover, with powder, it’ll be convenient to deworm cattle and horses by sprinkling it into the trough.

"This lottery’s rewards are quite good."

Being able to make the animals’ lives in the ranch more comfortable, Jiang Feng is quite satisfied with this.
