Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland
Chapter 350 - 347: Prospects for the Grand Park—Retiring Tigers?
The days at the ranch are bustling and lively.
These days, they need to deworm the cattle and sheep, shear the sheep, trim camel hair, and change horseshoes for the horses.
There are different live streaming contents every day.
The summer prairie is always cheerful and vibrant.
Jiang Feng livestreams every day to accumulate popularity value.
This afternoon, the silver Wrangler he won finally arrived.
Now Jiang Feng has two off-road vehicles. The first one was a Tank 300 from earlier, and another one won is a Yangwang U8, and now he got a Wrangler.
The Tank 300 has already been sold as a second-hand car.
As the car got unloaded from the transport, he was still streaming.
Seeing the silver outdoor off-road vehicle, online viewers began to show off their witty remarks.
["Afraid the Ranch owner suffers hardships, yet afraid the Ranch owner drives a Land Rover!"]
["Ranch owner got a new car again?"]
["Wow! It’s a commemorative Wrangler, it’s pretty hard to get, not only performs better than a regular Wrangler but also has collectible value!"]
["I contributed the screws on its wheels."]
Jiang Feng looked at the Wrangler.
The car was all silver, with dragon patterns carved on the side, representing it as a commemorative edition.
The off-road vehicle is ruggedly styled, very suitable for driving on the prairie.
Jiang Feng didn’t care about its collectible value, he just parked it in the garage, using it as his daily vehicle.
"Just an off-road car, still not as expensive as my tractor."
Jiang Feng casually said.
Then he felt this might seem like he’s showing off, so he added:
"I saved up for a long time to buy it."
Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the old fans replied:
["Ranch owner, no need to take our feelings into account, with your 60,000 acres of grassland, what’s a car."]
["From the time he, a streamer, won the Nadamu Festival championship, I knew no wealth is beyond him!"]
["The Ranch owner is still low-key!"]
["If I were in his situation, I’d probably be starting a harem on the grassland!"]
Jiang Feng didn’t say much more and simply drove the car inside.
Now the garage has two off-road vehicles, a BMW motorcycle, and a completely black-painted bicycle.
One sharp-eyed viewer recognized that the bicycle seems to be a carbon fiber one worth over a hundred thousand, but Jiang Feng didn’t dwell on it in the stream, so it was left as is.
Life at the ranch is orderly.
On the other side, Qingfeng Ranch is also developing better and better.
Daily visitor flow is very stable.
Although it isn’t packed with people like a popular scenic spot, it’s never too sparse either.
The income remains stable.
Meanwhile, through this period of construction.
In a large patch of the prairie inside Qingfeng Ranch, Jiang Feng built a large enclosed park.
Just the renovation costs, plus the trees, shades, and cat climbing frames inside, amounted to over two million.
The park is huge, with trees planted inside.
The outside is fenced with double iron railings, over three meters high, bent inward, completely enclosed.
This park was designed by Jiang Feng, specifically for rearing large feline animals.
It also comes with several houses set as nursery rooms, medical rooms, and tiger rest rooms.
Jiang Feng’s grassland is vast.
Near the management area, he demarcated 5,000 acres purely as sightseeing land.
Because of support from the management area and the forestry bureau, he could do whatever he wanted.
Having land feels great.
These days, Jiang Feng streams daily about the cattle, sheep, and camels situation.
Pleasure edition sheep shearing, pleasure edition camel shearing, pleasure edition cow hoof trimming, pleasure edition horseshoe nailing.
The main feature is pure enjoyment.
Netizens are enthusiastic every day.
Everyone enjoys watching it every day.
This day, Jiang Feng took the little guys and came to Qingfeng Ranch.
Today is a rest day, so there weren’t many people.
Jiang Feng then took everyone to the park.
The viewers are seeing this park for the first time, and everyone is very curious.
["Where is this place? So beautiful, and there are trees inside!"]
["Are those wooden structures for pandas?"]
["Is this the Ranch owner’s ranch?"]
["What’s he up to now?"]
The recent live streams have been very popular, with the number of online viewers in Jiang Feng’s live room reaching over 300,000.
This number of concurrent viewers is already quite staggering.
Watching soothing videos became a bit mundane, coincidentally, today’s stream had a different style.
The dogs followed Jiang Feng into the park, joyfully playing inside.
Xiaojin Hua even climbed onto the platform from a wooden slope, looking around from a high point.
Generally, dogs are a bit afraid of heights and don’t like high places, unlike cats.
Xiaojin Hua is an exception.
"I built a park, planning to raise some animals."
"However, the application for qualifications is still in process."
"This environment was specifically made; the area is large."
"Today, I’m just checking the details."
Jiang Feng told the viewers.
He walked inside, checking every detail.
The ground had grass, and many trees scattered around.
Going further inside, there’s an artificial hill and a pond.
The viewers found it increasingly odd.
["Built so beautifully, planning to keep mistresses?"]
["Is it a new Sika Deer pavilion?"]
["Can’t be keeping tigers, right!"]
["I actually feel like it’s a tiger pavilion; first time seeing such a large tiger pavilion."]
Jiang Feng wants to raise many animals, but the difficulty varies among them.
For instance, raising pandas is extremely hard. If you’re not a provincial-level zoo, forget about borrowing a giant panda from Sichuan or Chongqing.
But keeping tigers isn’t that difficult; many small zoos even have tigers.
However, the tigers in small zoos appear sickly and it’s quite pitiable.
Today’s tigers live a stifled life due to their small living spaces.
For example, the zoo in Xilinhot City District has a tiny tiger pavilion, with four tigers lying around all day looking lifeless.
The pavilion is only about the size of two basketball courts.
Simply cramped.
The pavilion Jiang Feng built specializes in being spacious.
Tigers need territory.
A bigger area makes the tigers active.
In small pavilions, tigers just remain idle, makes you feel uncomfortable seeing them.
"Can’t say what I’ll raise yet, the application is still in process."
"Once approved, I’ll let everyone know."
Jiang Feng teased a little.
The city’s zoo is on the brink of bankruptcy and is already selling animals.
The bear pavilion recently closed down.
Next, the leopards and tigers are to be sold off as well.
Tigers aren’t very expensive; one costs 250,000 yuan.
Four of them would be one million.
This isn’t just about having the money; you need qualifications and approval from the forestry bureau.
Jiang Feng is buying them all, and he has already lodged an application.
He then had a friend from the forestry bureau set up a gathering, inviting the bureau leaders for a drink, and it’s pretty much a done deal.
There’s no choice, in this environment, speeding up the process requires networking.
The effect is immediate.
Viewers are also very curious about Jiang Feng’s park.
Many speculate it’s for tigers, but many doubt it.
After all, in everyone’s mind, tigers aren’t easy to keep.
Jiang Feng’s ranch is a wildlife protection center now, protecting a few tigers is well within its capacity.
Hence, the approval process went through quickly.
Jiang Feng can lawfully have a few of the tigers he’s been dreaming of at his home.
And if the tigers can have a few cubs, that would be even better.
