Jiang Feng stewed a big pot of pork, happily feeding the dogs.

Six pounds of pork, he definitely couldn’t eat it all by himself.

Just then, Luo Jinzhu arrived at Jiang Feng’s yard gate and knocked on the door.

Jiang Feng let him in, and saw that accompanying Luo Jinzhu was a young man who didn’t usually talk much, named Zhu Huo, mainly responsible for pig raising and cleaning out the sheep pens.

Zhu Huo isn’t fond of expressing himself, but he is practical and hardworking, learning the Horsehead Fiddle from Luo Jinzhu during his free time.

People like him, who spend their lives on the prairie, don’t pursue big dreams; they just hope for a smooth life.

The treatment at Jiangfeng Ranch is excellent, no one is shortchanged and the welfare is good, so Zhu Huo works diligently.

Luo Jinzhu said to Jiang Feng with a smile:

"Manager, we really can’t get used to that wild boar meat, it’s too gamy and hard to chew."

"Zhu Huo doesn’t eat it either."

"I was wondering if we could come here for some meat broth, to go with rice."

"I just watched your live stream and saw there was some broth, it’s a pity to waste it."

Luo Jinzhu, who takes care of camels, is kind-hearted, and Jiang Feng is very approachable in life, earning admiration from everyone.

In the eyes of these ordinary people, Jiang Feng is someone with very skilled abilities.

Among ordinary people, there are always some very capable people, who succeed in whatever they do, performing exceptionally well, stirring up discussions.

Seeing the two, Jiang Feng laughed and said:

"No problem, I made plenty, you two can eat."

"But there’s not enough rice."

Hurriedly, Luo Jinzhu said, "Rice is made in the kitchen, we’ll get some now."

Soon enough, they brought back big bowls of rice.

Just from smelling the red-braised pork, Zhu Huo couldn’t resist swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"So fragrant!"

He exclaimed.

Jiang Feng was already full, having eaten many slices of the red-braised pork and couldn’t eat anymore.

The dogs were fed some too; this meat was just an appetizer for them and not enough to fill them up, so they still needed other food.

The basin still had about four or five pieces of meat left, not much.

Zhu Huo and Luo Jinzhu picked up pieces of red-braised pork with chopsticks and placed them into their bowls.

As soon as they tasted the red-braised pork, they became wide-eyed with amazement.

This red-braised pork was simply outstanding!

Full of rich and flavorful broth, the meat was also incredibly chewy.

With a simple chew and swallow, the red-braised pork just went straight down.

They poured the broth over the rice and began to feast heartily.

The ranch staff have different personalities.

For instance, Hadan and Bugude are more lively, enjoying thrills and seeking new experiences, they love tasting peculiar things.

Wild boar is far less tasty than farm-raised pork, but the experience of trying something new is what they enjoy.

Yang Maolin, Niu Erhu, and Ma He also like it somewhat.

Luo Jinzhu and Zhu Huo prefer something relatively less unique.

The delicious red-braised pork earns them endless praise.

After the meal, the two also helped Jiang Feng clean up the stove and wash the dishes, making the meal satisfying.

In the afternoon, Jiang Feng started pondering about planting trees.

With such a vast expanse of pasture at his disposal, and a geographically superior, high-quality section, generating revenue is the primary work of him as the ranch owner.

Running a ranch doesn’t guarantee profits; there are many daily input costs, so increasing the ranch’s risk resistance is crucial.

He plans to plant Yew trees.

Yew is a nationally protected plant, with very few wild ones remaining.

Meanwhile, the country encourages and promotes large-scale cultivation of Yews, including personal pot planting.

This ancient tree species is universally recognized as a natural, rare anti-cancer plant, native to Huaxia, having existed on Earth for 2.5 million years.

Jiang Feng contacted merchants online, ordering young saplings.

The price of one-year Yew saplings is not expensive, retailing at 10 RMB per tree, wholesaling at 5 RMB per tree.

A 10-year-old Yew costs about 8,000 to 10,000 RMB, while a Yew over 20 years old can be priced at 50,000 RMB per tree.

So, given more time, Yew’s price continues to rise.

Which is normal, investing money for 10 years, with inflation rates, should see the price multiply several dozen times.

Besides, during growth, Yews have fruits to sell, or branches can be cut and sold as bonsai.

Unfortunately, without sufficient years, there’s no Paclitaxel. If the Yew were decades older, Paclitaxel, a miraculous anti-cancer drug, could be extracted, that’d truly be profitable.

Two days later, Yew saplings were delivered.

The ranch doesn’t lack fertilizer or land.

With the current good weather, planting early ensures the saplings can survive the winter.

Jiang Feng’s pasture is vast, with luxuriant grass growth.

It’s not very suitable to drive a tractor in, so Jiang Feng chose to take a longer route.

At five o’clock this morning, Jiang Feng drove his million-dollar luxury tractor, followed by a large truck, out of the ranch, taking a detour around the grassland.

The drone was fixed and the live stream was synced and started.

"Today we’re going to the back of the grassland to plant trees, need to detour from Maodeng Ranch, which will take at least two hours."

"The grassland is still too big."

Jiang Feng said to everyone.

In this season, the grass is lush, it’s hard for the vehicle to get in, the grass is too high.

The tractor can force its way in, but the truck carrying the saplings finds it increasingly difficult as it goes further in.

[Stream owner starts streaming so early, I just went to bed!]

[Starting streaming in the middle of the night!]

[It’s already five in the morning!]

Netizens greeted in the live-streaming room one after another.

Jiang Feng drove the tractor without saying anything.

He traveled on the internal roads of Maodeng Ranch, surrounded by other people’s grasslands.

Tractor drove out of Maodeng Ranch and then took the outer road.

After a long journey, wilderness appeared ahead, and Jiang Feng drove into the wilderness.

Next, the tractor and truck traveled through the wilderness.

This journey was extremely desolate, apart from scattered shrubs on the ground, there were no signs of life.

The wild is like this, and it’s not easy to enter the back of Maodeng Ranch.

Time passed little by little, at about seven-thirty in the morning, Jiang Feng drove the tractor to the back of the ranch.

Yang Maolin, Hadan, and a few others were already here, removing the fence to make way for the vehicles.

Jiang Feng got down from the tractor, turned the drone camera, turned off the microphone, and shouted to Yang Maolin and them:

"Old Yang, can you guys fence in a few more acres over here."

"Anyway, this is still a no-man’s land, boundary not set yet."

"Fence in this barren land, we can plant dozens more trees."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Yang Maolin quickly agreed:

"Boss, understood, you just focus on plowing."

At the end of the grassland, in this area, the grass is not so lush anymore, the ground visibly desertified to some extent.

Looking deeper, some small trees are growing together, it looks quite desolate too.

Scraping the ground with the shoe sole, finding small gravel scatter everywhere.

The grass has a weak ability to prevent sand and consolidate soil, easily eroded by sand, whereas trees are much better, a surviving forest can even form a new ecological system.

Jiang Feng plans to plow more land outside to include a few more acres, which can also plant more trees.

By this time, there were many people in the live-streaming room.

[The stream owner is actually planting trees again!] 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

[To get rich, first plant trees!]

[Grow anything on our own land will turn into RMB!]

[Is that whole truck full of Yew saplings? Why do they seem so small?]

Next, Jiang Feng drove the tractor, using the plowing machine to start plowing the land.

He planned the area for planting Yew, roughly around five hundred acres.

Five hundred acres, twenty trees per acre, a total of ten thousand Yew saplings.

Plowing is to turn the soil over to make planting easier later.

At this time, Yew saplings were no different from potted plants, could even say just small pots.

To grow into big trees, it requires time accumulation.

Jiang Feng said to the netizens in the live-streaming room:

"Yew has strong survivability but incredibly slow growth."

"Which means it’s easy for these trees to survive, but hard to grow big."

"They need regular fertilization, cultivation, and cost investment every year to maintain."

"This tree grows slower and has lower soil consolidation efficiency compared to those specifically for sand prevention and soil consolidation."

"But it’s pretty good as an economic crop."

Jiang Feng turned over all the land.

Then, eight or nine people holding shovels unloaded the saplings from the truck and started planting trees in the ground.

These trees were about the height of a person’s calf, which isn’t very tall.

But a large group of small saplings growing together, gives a bit of the feel of a forest in its infancy.

On the grassland, everyone started construction enthusiastically again.

Life is sometimes always busy.

But as long as there is a return, everyone is full of motivation.
