Work at sunrise, return at sunset.

Though life on the prairie isn’t as idealized as in pastoral poetry, during herding, it does have less toil and more leisure.

Ranch employees are driving the flock back.

Xiaojin Hua has officially joined the ranks of shepherding.

It drives the flock with its parents at the rear.

Meanwhile, the White Wolf is also shepherding.

Jiang Feng once taught the Little White Wolf how to shepherd, but back then the Little White Wolf was naive and didn’t learn.

Now, without Jiang Feng’s teaching, it knows what to do.

The White Wolf’s herding method is close to Black Back’s, they use a violent driving approach to herd. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

If a sheep is disobedient and dares to rebel, the Border Collie will avoid direct confrontation, continuously pressing until the opponent is subdued and forced to obey.

When Black Back and the White Wolf encounter rebellious sheep, they directly rush up and bite.

The White Wolf stays at the side of the flock, ensuring sheep on the outside don’t break away.

Ranch employees are quite surprised seeing this.

"That’s the manager’s White Wolf, and it’s herding too!"

Yang Maolin couldn’t help but marvel.

The White Wolf looks quite majestic while herding.

It has a rather aloof nature, rarely showing a dog’s fawning smile, usually maintaining a cold demeanor, only when Jiang Feng pets it does the White Wolf squint its eyes for a content smile.

Jiang Feng rides the Red Hare, holding a swollen puppy in his arms, leisurely following behind.

In the drone’s lens, thousands of sheep gallop together, creating quite a magnificent scene.

[Every time I watch the scene master herding, I feel amazed!]

[I feel the same way, knowing these sheep all belong to the host makes him seem so charming, so handsome!]

[Even without the sheep, the scene master is very handsome it seems!]

[Ordinarily handsome and charmingly handsome are different; check out this scene, even as a man, I’m moved by him!]

[Moved? I’ve followed the scene master’s photos!]

[Hahaha, damn, my eyes, why did they have to see this comment!]

Jiang Feng appears in the live stream footage, riding a horse.

He doesn’t look at the comments.

His live stream is quite casual, anyway, the drones are smart enough to choose the best shooting angles, requiring no particular effort from him.

Jiang Feng, on horseback with the puppy, returns quickly to the ranch.

The drone concludes the herding footage as the sheep enter the pen, then Jiang Feng activates follow mode, and the drone flies back.

"Coal Ball needs treatment for the bee sting; although the condition will naturally fade, there’s still a lot that can be done."

Jiang Feng speaks to his audience.

"Summer brings wasps and bees to many areas, dogs with hunting instincts might eat a bee and end up stung; if that happens, you can follow my approach to handle it too."

While talking, Jiang Feng gathers soap water and salt.

First, he cleans Coal Ball’s mouth with soap water, then disinfects it with salt water.

Then Jiang Feng applies ice to Coal Ball’s mouth.

The little fellow seems to sense that Jiang Feng is helping it, remaining quiet.

Its chubby mouth puckers up, looking gratefully at Jiang Feng.

This scene should be heartwarming, but seeing its expression, Jiang Feng can’t help but laugh.

How did it end up messing with a wasp.

"The procedure involves disinfecting then applying cold compresses; if the wound continues to spread or swell, a hospital visit might be necessary."

"Coal Ball’s condition isn’t too severe; it should recover in a few days."

Jiang Feng continues explaining.

After the ice treatment, Coal Ball becomes a lot more docile.

Likely due to the bee venom effect, it isn’t very spirited, sulking in its nest.

Little Border Collie invites it to go out for a stroll, but it doesn’t go.

Eventually, the Little Border Collie goes out to play with the Little White Wolf and Little Donkey, calling on Peppa from the pigsty too.

At the moment, Peppa has grown quite big, robust and strong, larger than the Little Border Collie by a size.

It always follows the Little Border Collie for strolls, so these little ones wander around the ranch again.

Ranch employees have grown accustomed to this group.

Previously, the fox was around too, although now it sporadically appears with its cubs, then disappears again.

Occasionally bringing the cubs to seek food from Jiang Feng, who then pets the fox briefly before feeding them some fish and beef.

The streetwise group ambles around the ranch.

At the front of the group is Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng begins researching new breeding plans on the ranch.

The chickens raised last year have partly been consumed; they grow swiftly, with just over half a year for eating.

There are still some egg-laying hens left.

There’s also the rooster Jiang Feng hatched, now crowing at sunrise in line with ranch routine, providing practical use.

There are still a few geese, freely roaming at the back daily.

Jiang Feng wanders around the ranch every day, and viewers have gotten used to his routine inspections.

The ranch is now quite well established, built up nicely with employees clearing hygiene daily.

The streetwise group trails behind Jiang Feng.

"On my pasture there’s a lake; I’m not interested in fish farming, plus the grasslands aren’t well-suited for it."

"Yet the lake shouldn’t just go to waste."

"So I’ve decided to buy a flock of ducklings to raise."

"Ducks are good animals, very smart, and they love to call their friends to go out and play together."

"There are photos online of ducks going to another household to call another group of ducks."

"Ducks like to go out in groups, just like kids."

Jiang Feng looked at the chicken coop and the geese environment, thinking about finding a piece of land to raise ducks.

Ducks are interesting.

Ducks in the village know the way. They run in flocks to another household, quacking to call their buddies.

Then the ducks from the other household also run out, greeting each other with quacks, forming a team to go outside together.

The nature of these animals is quite amazing.

"Ducks are not only smart, but their meat is delicious. You can make roast duck or marinate some duck necks and duck racks."

Jiang Feng added.

[I was just about to say the host is very caring, then he says this!]

[Cute is cute, tasty is tasty, there’s no conflict!]

[Ducks are indeed delicious!]

[Is he going to raise ducks again?]

The netizens responded one after another.

Jiang Feng set the plan to raise ducks, then shut down the stream and started making phone calls to ask who has ducklings for sale.

After the farming started, Jiang Feng felt rejuvenated and more energetic.

Probably because farming started, and the work became relatively easier.

It’s much more convenient than feeding hay stacks every day.

Cleaning cattle and sheep pens is also easier.

So there’s more time to think about other things.

The spring temperature is comfortable; it’s truly nice weather.

The most comfortable seasons in the north should be spring and autumn. In some places, spring and autumn are relatively long, wearing T-shirts or single jackets, neither cold nor hot, feeling very comfortable.

While in many places heading south, there is no spring or autumn, only winter and summer.

When it gets cold, suddenly you need to wear cotton-padded clothes; when it’s hot, suddenly you only need to wear short sleeves.

During occasional transitions, you can still see elderly ladies in down jackets passing by young people in shorts and vests.

As they pass each other, both might think to themselves, "weird."

Such a spring is perfect for raising some small animals.

Many farmhouses in the grassland sell chicken, duck, and goose seedlings. There are also moving vehicles selling them.

They drive a vehicle to the market, with many chicks and ducklings in cages.

Livestock farmers are also part of farm life, and they have their own trading channels.

After Jiang Feng contacted the market, he drove out the next morning to find ducks.

He arrived beside a car selling ducks and picked the ducks himself.

He would pick up each duck and take a look.

If a little yellow duck rapidly thrashes its feet in his palm, it indicates good health and suitability for raising.

If it’s weak and listless, then it’s definitely a no-go.

"They’re all authentic local ducks, very robust."

The owner explained to Jiang Feng.

Using a cardboard box, Jiang Feng picked over twenty at once.

A male duckling is only six yuan, a female duckling ten yuan, costing less than two hundred in total.

Ducks are a bit more expensive than chicks, but not significantly so.

Jiang Feng doesn’t plan to raise chickens and ducks on a large scale as the return is too slow; with such a big grassland, raising cattle and sheep is much better, raising chickens and ducks is honestly unwise.

Although not on a large scale, raising a few is still okay, for cultivating interests.

Jiang Feng carried the box back to the farm and prepared to start live streaming.

He returned to his yard.

His yard has been renovated, with roads paved with green bricks, a few patches of grass, and a flower bed by the courtyard wall.

Upon returning to the yard, he spotted Little Mongolian Mastiff in the doghouse and Golden Eagle in the nest under the eaves, both poking their heads out to look at him.

Both patients looking pitiful.

The Mongolian Mastiff’s face is still a bit swollen, but it’s energetic today. Golden Eagle, after Jiang Feng’s check, is completely healed but just refuses to leave.

Jiang Feng can only continue to take care of it.

The drone soared high, and the day’s live stream began again.

Jiang Feng placed the ducklings on the ground, first letting them familiarize themselves with the environment, then planned to take these ducklings to play by the lake.

The straight-line distance from the farm to the lake is about three kilometers, not too far to walk slowly.

[The host really started raising ducks!]

[Haha, truly spontaneous, raises whatever he wants!]

[Farm life is like that, raising animals is work, but also joy!]

[So many cute little yellow ducks!]

Netizens watching the live feed of ducks laughed along.

Jiang Feng loves raising animals; each animal offers a different experience.

These little yellow ducks are already two or three months old, starting to grow feathers, no problem walking a distance.

Thus, he tried guiding the ducklings to follow him.

Spring pastoral adventures, taking ducks to the lake!

Such a life is relaxed and cheerful.
