At dusk, the gentle sun cast its rays.

A gentle breeze blew past.

At this moment, the originally barren ground was already planted with rows of small trees.

The trees were not tall, and their trunks appeared slender.

The yew seedlings stood together at the edge of the grassland, looking quite peculiar.

Jiang Feng placed a few grass seeds between the yews, ensuring grass beneath the trees, so they can survive better.

Eight people holding shovels looked at the scenery before them.

"Finally done planting, never planted so many trees in my life!" Hadan remarked.

"They’re just small trees, easy to plant." Bugude also spoke up.

At this moment, Yang Maolin asked Jiang Feng:

"Manager, is it necessary to water after planting so many trees?"

"It’s quite far from the lake, how do we water them?"

Upon hearing Yang Maolin’s words, Jiang Feng replied with a smile:

"No need to water, I checked the weather forecast, we’ll have light rain tomorrow morning."

"Then the light rain will turn to overcast, clearing up by evening, just perfectly timed."

"I chose today to quickly plant the trees based on the weather."

"In a couple of days, just apply some fertilizer."

Jiang Feng could see detailed weather forecasts, so he made a decision in his mind.

Upon hearing this, the workers looked up at the sky and noticed that today’s evening had more clouds, giving a somewhat overcast impression.

Online viewers witnessed the entire process, expressing their admiration:

[The manager’s plan is truly thorough!]

[He is indeed talented, has many ideas, and executes them perfectly!]

[I truly envy his carefree lifestyle! I wish I could be as carefree.]

Then, Jiang Feng asked the workers to put up a fence around the area, while he drove the tractor back taking the long way.

The truck driver hauling goods also left.

By this time, five hundred acres of land were filled with trees.

Only twenty trees per acre, just manage the distance, dig a pit, plant the seedlings, and flatten the surroundings.

With so many people working together, the speed was fast.

It’s more like planting rice seedlings than planting trees.

Anyway, the grass in this area is not very good, yew tree seedlings aren’t expensive; let’s see how many can survive, the investment isn’t very high.

Jiang Feng drove the tractor, continuing the long way back.

Though tractors aren’t easy to drive, there aren’t many cars on this route, allowing the tractor to go at full speed, which isn’t slow.

Returning to the pasture, Jiang Feng felt his body sore and weak; planting trees all day was truly exhausting.

Hadan eagerly ran over, saying: "Manager, how about going to the city for a massage tonight, getting a rub will surely be enjoyable."

Hadan was still very enthusiastic.

Jiang Feng waved his hand: "Not today, I’ll go tomorrow afternoon."

Getting a massage right after exhaustion isn’t quite comfortable, as the body hasn’t settled down yet; although it quickly dissolves lactic acid, during the massage, it can be unpleasant.

One must wait until slightly recuperated, then a massage becomes truly enjoyable.

After dinner, Jiang Feng lay on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, the grassland indeed began to rain.

Today, Jiang Feng didn’t live-stream, and at noon he drove to Xilinhot City, called up his buddy Lu Zhishan for a hotpot meal and then got a full-body massage.

Of course, it was a proper massage, Thai full-body SPA, including essential oil back rub.

After a day’s fatigue, Jiang Feng felt relaxed all over after the massage.

Lu Zhishan chatted with him:

"You really work hard daily, planting trees all day."

"Planting trees has such a slow money-making cycle."

Upon hearing Lu Zhishan, Jiang Feng replied:

"The farm needs to increase profitability; the profit from cattle and sheep isn’t quite enough. It’s fine if it’s just personal farming, but I have so many employees, many tasks, everything is an expense."

"So, expand the channels, step by step, to grow the enterprise."

"I also plan to plant medicinal herbs like the pastoralists in Xinjiang; if done well, the annual income is tens of thousands."

"Facing such a good pasture, I must think of ways, or if the farm encounters something significant, it can’t pull through."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhishan clicked his tongue in admiration:

"You’re impressive, among our classmates, you’re the most capable."

"Running a farm, still a major internet celebrity, even winning championships at the Nadamu Festival."

"Indeed remarkable."

Jiang Feng didn’t reply, just told the masseuse behind him: "Focus more on the lower back, yesterday I truly wore myself out."

....

That day, Jiang Feng continued resting, not live-streaming.

In the evening, Jiang Feng settled the popularity value accumulated recently.

Due to events like horse racing and riding hot air balloons during the Nadamu Festival, Jiang Feng accumulated a very high popularity value.

During those days, the popularity value reached over 4 million, later stabilizing at around 1.2 million.

Currently, the total popularity value reached 24 million.

"Two top-level lotteries." Jiang Feng chose to draw.

"Host chooses top-level lottery, drawing..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining items:"

"[Golden Armor (body)]: Body part of golden armor weighing 12 pounds, fits host’s body size."

"[Zitan Wood Chair]: Intricately carved dragon-pattern Zitan wood chair, with high collector’s value."

The system’s reward voice continuously sounded.

Listening to such a sound, Jiang Feng clicked his tongue.

Although no skill was drawn, these items are all good, of high value.

Gold’s value doesn’t need mentioning, and if the Zitan wood chair is aged well, with good wood material, it’s worth millions—an excellent collectible.

"Previously drew a golden helmet, now a golden armor body; it’s really going to be ’full city adorned in golden armor’."

"What’s crucial is that it’s real gold."

"When combined, it’s dozens of pounds; can you still move wearing it?"

Jiang Feng wondered internally.

"Now for four advanced lotteries."

"Host chooses advanced lottery, drawing..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining:"

"[Special Compound Fertilizer]*100 bags: Compound fertilizer suitable for seedling growth, accelerating small tree growth and improving soil environment."

"[Nursing Milk Powder]*200 bags: High nutritional value milk powder suitable for lactating animals, enhances growth of young ones."

"[Nursing Milk Powder]*200 bags"

The lottery again drew 100 bags of fertilizer and 400 bags of milk powder.

These items are pretty useful and will be used.

After all, with many animals in the pasture, milk powder consumption is quite rapid.

Jiang Feng looked at the remaining hundreds of thousands of popularity value, didn’t hesitate, and said:

"Now, four ordinary lotteries, haven’t drawn them for a while."

"Host chooses ordinary lottery, drawing..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining items:"

"A pair of Nike sneakers, a Dyson hair dryer, a tea-axis three-mode keyboard, a sachet of special ointment."

The system’s voice rang again.

Items from the ordinary lottery are just small life things, costing from a few hundred to a few thousand; occasionally, you get good stuff.

"These things are dispensable, could buy them myself."

"But getting them for free is still joyful."

Jiang Feng thought inwardly and then fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, light rain continued to fall over the pasture.

Rain in summer is quite abundant, and the more it rains, the better the grass grows.

With the rain, there wasn’t much live-streaming content; Jiang Feng wandered around the pasture and then took the cats and dogs back inside to play games.

During rainy days, cattle and sheep should be sheltered because wool absorbs water, and if sheep get rained on, they can easily catch colds and die suddenly.

The Tabby Cat also rests in the room, taking care of her kittens.

However, the Big Orange never lets her approach the Calico, while Xiaohai and another small Tabby love chasing the Cat Boss.

Cat Boss lies on the mat, completely relaxed, its tail swinging back and forth.

The two playful little male cats chase after its tail, leap up, trying to grab it with their paws, even wanting to bite the tail.

At this age, young ones, whether animals or humans, are most playful, truly even dogs disdain them.

Cat Boss looks distressed. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Eventually finding the two little ones too annoying, it runs up the cat climbing frame to rest at a higher spot.

In the bedroom, Xiaojin Hua accompanies Jiang Feng.

While Jiang Feng plays games, it quietly lies nearby.

Outside, the rain continues to fall.

The seedlings planted yesterday grow roots in the light rain, securing the soil.

They will slowly grow, accompanying the pasture.

Inside the house, Jiang Feng clears a game level, puts down the controller, and looks at the idle Xiaojin Hua beside him.

"Xiaojin Hua, come here."

Jiang Feng calls it over.

Xiaojin Hua immediately stands up happily, runs to Jiang Feng’s side, and then rests its head on Jiang Feng’s leg.

Jiang Feng holds it, watches TV, maneuvers the controller, and starts the next game round.
