The aroma of spicy crayfish wafted out from the courtyard.

After eating one, the dogs found it a bit spicy and ran off to play.

Jiang Feng and Liu Yiyi wore disposable gloves, eating happily.

"Later, let’s go to the dining hall and have some ribs,"

Jiang Feng said to Liu Yiyi.

"There’s so much crayfish, just stick to the shrimp. Hmm, the shrimp is really delicious!"

Liu Yiyi couldn’t stop eating.

"Crayfish never fills you up, definitely need something more. I’ll get you a bowl of porridge, been making porridge every day."

Jiang Feng got up, planning to check on the kitchen.

"Hmm, stay with me until I finish this crayfish," Liu Yiyi said when she saw Jiang Feng about to move.

"Sure."

The two moved quickly with their hands; Jiang Feng picked the biggest crayfish, specially treated so you just had to grab the tail and pull the meat out.

A big bowl of crayfish was quickly finished.

Liu Yiyi felt satisfied.

Lately, she hadn’t had an appetite for anything.

It had to be Jiang Feng’s cooking to feel comfortable eating.

Jiang Feng had realized this.

Pregnancy was really tough on women, so whenever he had the time and the cooking skills, he’d make a meal for his wife.

Life passed by day by day.

The development of the ranch became more stable.

The number of sheep stabilized at around five thousand.

Many heifers were pregnant, ready to give birth.

The grazing area was still lush green, with some unique trees growing here and there on the pasture.

Inside was still a natural scene.

A large ranch for sightseeing tours was under construction in the pasture near the management area.

Jiang Feng initially planned to invest thirty million.

Based on recovering ten million a year, it would only take three years to break even.

At the same time, Zhang Kaitian had begun recruiting employees, arranging for receptions.

The staff were all locals, ordinary villagers, and were very glad to come here for work.

Jiang Feng started arranging some cute little animals on the ranch.

Including lambs and calves.

The animals weren’t numerous; the main attractions were places for taking photos and stargazing campsites that were quite popular.

There’s also a pasture behind the ranch where people can walk around, with sika deer on the grass where visitors can interact with them.

The sightseeing ranch was named Qingfeng Ranch.

Qingfeng Ranch was about to grandly open.

On this day, Jiang Feng, at the ranch, called over Old Sun, Gelya, Hadan, and Bugude to help make special beef sauce and flower cakes.

These items were the opening gifts for Qingfeng Ranch, to be given to the first thousand visitors.

Jiang Feng made no announcements about this in the livestream room.

He was concerned,

If too many people came, it wouldn’t just affect the tourism experience, but the ranch couldn’t handle it.

Jiang Feng only advertised a bit locally and asked the tourism bureau to help out.

It just gave local tourists an extra choice.

Ximeng League’s tourism couldn’t match Hulunbei’er, except the grassland road was more awe-inspiring.

Giving travelers more choices was good too.

In other words, many people didn’t even know Qingfeng Ranch was Jiang Feng’s sightseeing ranch.

Jiang Feng planned to keep a low profile.

First, observe how the business goes.

If the traffic is low, he would say something.

If the traffic is high, maintain it like this, and he would retreat to the background.

Qingfeng Ranch finally opened.

Locals knew it was Jiang Feng’s ranch, but online buzz was limited.

Ranch tickets were 60 yuan, and once inside, you could see calves, lambs, and foals in the pens, and also see alpacas in a garden.

There were several spots perfect for taking photos.

Jiang Feng picked animals that were unafraid of people and quite lively.

Further out was a vast grassland, a few trees, and sika deer grazing under the shade.

The sightseeing pasture was fenced in, with dirt paths beside it.

Looking further out, one could see a fascinating cornfield.

Walking deeper was Jiang Feng’s large ranch.

With its opening, Maodeng’s visitor traffic surged, tripling and more.

Most of them were here to visit Qingfeng Ranch.

Chen Ziyi and Chu Meimei, best friends, planned to come take photos on the grassland today, wearing Mongolian Clothing and capture a series of nature-themed snapshots.

"Look over there, so many people headed that way?" Chen Ziyi exclaimed at the bustling crowd.

"So many people on the grassland now. My colleague suggested coming here, saying it was quieter with fewer people."

Chu Meimei was surprised too.

After asking around, they found out it was the opening day of a large sightseeing ranch.

Hearing there was a place for taking photos, both were excited and quickly queued up to buy tickets.

First was a wooden archway with ’Qingfeng Ranch’ written on it, the font had a cute style, giving a lighthearted feel.

Walking inside was a pathway.

Following the path inward, wooden pens held eight or nine lambs.

The lambs bleated towards the visitors.

Inside the pens were houses where ewes rested and ate grass.

The lambs were too adorable.

Seeing the lively lambs, visitors hurriedly took out their phones to take pictures.

Chen Ziyi and Chu Meimei felt increasingly surprised and delighted.

This tourist ranch is especially new, especially nice, giving off a relaxing and pleasant feeling everywhere.

Further inside, there’s a counter.

Everyone can redeem a jar of beef sauce or a box of floral pastries with their ticket.

Today’s the opening day, making money isn’t the main goal, it’s all about popularity.

There are a lot of people in line.

Soon, up ahead, there’s a camp of wooden cabins where you can take photos.

Further in, you can see cows in their pens, and alpacas too.

In the middle, there’s a cluster of houses where you can buy juice, local food specialties, and so on.

As you walk further out, you pass this ranch area, and it’s a beautiful vast grassland.

Visitors can enter the grassland, sit there, and enjoy the scenery.

Or they can call the Sika deer to come over.

"It’s really beautiful here, can’t believe there’s a place like this on the grassland!"

Chu Meimei exclaimed with delight.

"I want to take a picture with the Sika deer, take one for me."

Chen Ziyi also gasped in surprise.

"There’s a photo studio over there; you can line up to take pictures with a horse. Later, I want to lead a horse and take a set of photos."

"I want to take pictures riding the horse, showing my long legs, it’ll be stunning!"

The two of them were filled with excitement and began to enjoy themselves on the tourist ranch.

That’s the charm of this tourist spot.

Watch cute little animals, take some photos, enjoy the grassland, take a break, and taste some local specialty food.

There are quite a few employees in the sightseeing area too.

Jiang Feng was watching over here.

Seeing the constant influx of visitors and the tickets selling more and more, Jiang Feng felt very happy inside.

Moreover, the speed at which tickets were sold exceeded his expectations.

At 60 each, over 2,000 tickets were sold in just two short hours.

Do the math, and the transaction amount reaches 120,000, not counting the money from product sales inside.

Zhang Kaitian came over to report:

"Manager, it’s even livelier than expected."

"Normally, when you first open, there aren’t that many people. You have to gradually build up a reputation, then the foot traffic stabilizes and steadily grows to a certain level."

"Now, having so many people just on opening day is really rare."

"People really like places like this."

Hearing Zhang Kaitian’s words, Jiang Feng smiled and said:

"As long as we can maintain it, that’s fine. You also need to ensure maintenance."

"In recent years, the demand for tourism has been relatively high, it’s estimated that there will be more and more visitors."

"Establish a good reputation."

Zhang Kaitian nodded, "No problem."

At six in the evening, Qingfeng Ranch closed, and visitors left.

There are currently no accommodations inside the ranch; most visitors head back to stay in Xilinhot City, with few staying here.

The employees began cleaning up the ranch, and sanitation trucks from Maodeng Management District came in to collect trash.

The head of Maodeng Management District, Zhao Gui, came to find Jiang Feng.

Zhao Gui was very pleased.

"Today many locals from Xilinhot City came over; they aren’t just tourists."

"If you host this tourist ranch, even without tourists, locals from the city would be enough as a customer base."

Zhao Gui congratulated.

Only those living in pasture areas and villages on the grassland have been exposed to cattle and sheep, and horseback riding since childhood.

While city residents are the same as those in other places.

They rarely see cattle and sheep.

Therefore, these people also have sightseeing demands.

Especially for family trips or couple dates, the tourist ranch becomes a great place to visit.

At this point, Zhao Gui said again: "I saw you didn’t promote it in your own videos; promoting it would be great."

"It’d be even bustling."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng waved his hand,

"There are enough people today; any more and I wouldn’t be able to handle it."

"I think having fewer people is better; employees here can spend more time taking care of the animals."

"Quiet is best; being too commercial can be quite troublesome."

Jiang Feng had his own philosophy.

It was also because of his philosophy that his ranch had its unique style.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gui didn’t say much more.

"Alright, up to you."

"In the past, Maodeng was quite backward with nothing."

"The pasture is the pasture; the management district can still develop some sideline businesses."

"Do it well, and if city people are willing to come over, we have development."

Zhao Gui said with a smile.

Zhao Gui was naturally pleased.

This is in the form of a collective cooperative, and Jiang Feng’s tourist ranch can rapidly drive the economic development of local residents.

Jiang Feng now became like a god of wealth, far more important than those two large enterprises investing in ranches here.

Jiang Feng replied with a smile:

"Take it slow, we just opened."

Hearing this, Zhao Gui added: "Also, the Nadamu Festival will soon start; this year, you’ll still represent Xilinhot."

"I heard people from the banner over there are all eager to win the championship."

"You should prepare as well."

Jiang Feng nodded, "I’ll try my best."
