Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 110 - 108: Unexpected Harvest, the Pasture Is a Treasure Trove!

Chapter 110: Chapter 108: Unexpected Harvest, the Pasture Is a Treasure Trove!

The first snow of this year has started falling.

Since it hasn’t really turned to winter yet, the snow isn’t heavy. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Stepping outside to look, you can only see the sky turned grey, like snowflakes falling down as if they were sprinkled salt.

Such snow doesn’t create much disturbance, not even enough to pile up; it just turns the pasture a bit whiter, as if covered with a layer of frost.

Jiang Feng brought the Little Border Collie, Little White Wolf, and Little Donkey inside.

Other dogs are resting in their kennels.

Lucky and Wealthy are together, and Golden Retriever Wangwang finally remembered she has seven puppies, running back to the kennel to care for them.

Due to the snow, the temperature dropped a bit.

But as the saying goes, "It’s not cold when snowing, it’s cold when the snow melts," it started snowing that afternoon, but the temperature wasn’t excessively low. Once the snow stopped in the evening, the temperature dropped significantly.

Jiang Feng checked the popularity value for today.

After some time of live streaming, Jiang Feng’s popularity value has reached over 13 million.

Following his routine, he chose one Top Level Lottery and three Advanced Lotteries.

"Host selects Top Level Lottery: Drawing..."

"Congratulations to the host for acquiring a skill: Master of Bow and Arrow Shooting!"

"Master of Bow and Arrow Shooting: Host is proficient in archery skills."

"Host selects Advanced Lottery: Drawing..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining items: "

"Mongolian Bow*1: A sturdy quality Mongolian bow with five arrows."

"Special Effect Pasture Seed*1 bag: New type of pasture seed, mainly Oriental Chicory, high nutritional value, can be planted for eight years."

"24-Hour Treasure Hunting Card*1: A natural treasure of high value appears on the host’s pasture, and can be searched within 24 hours."

A series of notification sounds echoed in Jiang Feng’s mind.

A golden light flashed initially, drawing a skill, which surprised Jiang Feng quite a bit.

However, the skill isn’t very useful, as he doesn’t participate in archery competitions; he can only pretend during live streaming at most.

But the last treasure hunting card was rather surprising to Jiang Feng.

"Is there a natural treasure on my pasture?"

"What could be on this prairie?"

The reward from this lottery was beyond his expectations.

At this moment, it was very late, the pasture was pitch dark, and it was too dangerous to go to the pasture in such cold weather.

Since there’s still a day left, Jiang Feng planned to check it out the next morning.

That night, the temperature on the prairie dropped, and people prepared their insulation ahead of time; the cattle and sheep were well protected.

Early the next morning, Jiang Feng stepped outside.

At this moment, a layer of frost-like covering enveloped the pasture.

The ground had frozen solid.

The snow was very light, just a thin sprinkle, hardly noticeable.

Jiang Feng remembered the treasure hunting card from yesterday and decided to use it.

Then, he feared Red Hare might get cold and didn’t call Red Hare from the stable but instead rode the motorcycle straight in the direction indicated by the treasure hunting card.

Nearing closer, Jiang Feng looked from a distance.

He saw what the treasure hunting card indicated.

It was a wild boar.

To be precise, it was a wild boar that had frozen to death.

"That’s a wild boar? Seems quite old."

"The treasure hunting card indicates a wild boar?"

"Can this count as a treasure?"

Jiang Feng was slightly stunned.

Then, he seemed to realize something.

Wild boars aren’t valuable unless this wild boar has something inside.

"Could it be... there’s Pig Treasure inside?"

Jiang Feng murmured softly.

In Chinese medicine, there are three treasures: cow treasure, dog treasure, horse treasure.

The so-called treasure refers to the stones in the gallbladder, bile duct, etc., in animals, which are oval and extremely rare.

Finding one piece can bring income from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

Among them, Pig Treasure, also known as Pig Cinnabar, is even rarer.

The reason is simple; forming Pig Treasure takes several years, and modern domestic pigs are raised in a short time, making it impossible for Pig Treasure to form.

So, only in older wild boars is there a low possibility of Pig Treasure appearing.

The current Pig Treasure is precious and scarce, hard to find on the market; a large piece can easily sell for hundreds of thousands.

But this matter is tricky. If he directly dissected the wild boar, it might be misunderstood that he killed it, which is hard to explain if discovered.

After all, this morning, employees saw him riding a motorcycle out.

"I can’t move now, can’t be impulsive."

"It’s better to handle this matter openly."

Jiang Feng made up his mind and rode the motorcycle back to the ranch.

Seeing Jiang Feng return, Yang Maolin concernedly asked:

"Manager, why did you ride the motorcycle to the pasture so early in the morning?"

Hearing this, Jiang Feng replied:

"It just snowed, so I went to check on the pasture; after all, the cattle and sheep need to be released to graze."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Yang Maolin didn’t think much, just felt the manager was quite dedicated!

After breakfast, in the morning, Jiang Feng started the live stream as usual.

The drone camera captured the distance.

Outside, the prairie was white like a canvas, although not covered in snow, it appeared desolate and austere.

[Did it snow over there?]

[Seems like the snow isn’t heavy!]

[This just started, doesn’t count as snowing, just some flurries!]

[Right, this can’t be called snow!]

Many northern netizens weren’t impressed by this amount of snow.

Jiang Feng spoke:

"Yesterday afternoon there was a light snow, it stopped in the evening; the snow wasn’t heavy, but the temperature dropped a lot."

"The ground is frozen solid."

"I’ll wait until the weather improves a bit, then I’ll go check on the pasture."

"This kind of scenery is rare to see."

He went to the sheep pen to feed the sheep with some pasture, and after finishing his work on the ranch, he got on his motorcycle and rode towards the pasture.

He wasn’t riding very fast.

At this moment, the grassland was very desolate, with snow covering the grass, and large areas of soil exposed.

On the road, some tall, yellow, and very hard grass still stood upright, resilient as ever.

Jiang Feng continued in.

He detoured around in a circle before finally making it to the wild boar’s location.

"There seems to be a wild boar over there!"

Jiang Feng said.

Hearing his words, the online viewers also looked towards the live streaming lens.

Everyone saw, in the desolate snow-covered field, a wild boar lying on its side on the ground. Its fur was quite messy, with some parts bald, and it looked somewhat emaciated.

[It’s really a wild boar!]

[Is that wild boar sleeping?]

[Sleeping in such an open land? Doesn’t it know to find a sheltered spot?]

[I feel like this wild boar is dead!]

[It must have frozen to death!]

The bullet comments flooded in.

Jiang Feng rode his motorcycle closer to the wild boar.

As he got nearer, he could see the condition of the wild boar more clearly.

The boar was indeed old and its body was very weak.

It snowed last night, and somehow it wandered out from the depths of the uninhabited area, only to end up dead in Jiang Feng’s pasture.

"It’s definitely dead."

"What a strange thing."

Jiang Feng remarked with a sigh.

Then, he dialed the police and contacted Bater, explaining the situation at the scene.

The handling of wild boars now varies depending on the situation. In areas where wild boars are overpopulated, people with hunting permits are allowed to hunt them, but on the grasslands, wild boars are few, and they are currently protected.

"A wild boar froze to death?"

"Alright, we’ll come and check it out. To prevent any unnecessary trouble."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng, Bater planned to come over and take a look.

If you encounter a dead protected animal in the wild, you can ignore it, but if it dies on Jiang Feng’s pasture, you must notify the police or the forestry bureau.

Someone needs to verify that the protected animal died naturally.

Jiang Feng wasn’t in any hurry and waited there.

About half an hour later, the police car drove into Jiang Feng’s pasture. Now the land was barren, and with the cold weather, driving in didn’t have much impact.

Bater and another police officer got out to confirm the wild boar’s condition.

The other officer was an old policeman who just glanced briefly and confirmed the situation.

"It froze to death, this wild boar was also old, and there wasn’t much to eat this season."

"It probably lingered here for a long time and didn’t make it through last night."

The old policeman remarked.

At this point, Jiang Feng asked, "Can I handle this wild boar now?"

Bater laughed, "Of course, no problem, we don’t want to take it away either. But with such an old wild boar, the meat isn’t edible, so what do you want it for?"

Jiang Feng replied calmly, "The pigskin and tusks are useful."

"Alright then, no problem. You can handle it as you like, we’re leaving."

After explaining everything, the two officers left.

The online viewers were curious about how Jiang Feng would handle the dead wild boar.

But Jiang Feng said:

"The live stream ends here, I need to clean up the wild boar that died here."

"Actually, there’s not much to do, the wolves will probably carry it off."

"Wolves are out searching for food these days and will surely discover the wild boar."

After finishing, Jiang Feng switched off the live stream.

He took out the Mongolian Saber and began to gut the wild boar.

He never used his own hands to slaughter cattle, sheep, or pigs, but today was an exception.

He thought the treasure hunting card pointing to a dead wild boar could only reasonably mean Pig Cinnabar, or Pig Treasure.

Among the boar’s entrails, he instantly spotted the swollen gallbladder, carefully removing it, washing it clean in the snow, and then slicing it with the saber.

Sure enough, inside the gallbladder, there was a hard substance with a somewhat hairy surface, resembling a potato.

"It’s really Pig Cinnabar; I haven’t seen this in years."

Jiang Feng laughed.

Pig Cinnabar is a rare Chinese herbal medicine, currently in high demand in the market, with premium Pig Cinnabar fetching nearly ten thousand per gram.

The piece in his hand was worth several hundred thousand.

The value of such substances is remarkably high.

Besides Pig Treasure, there’s Cow Treasure, Horse Treasure, as well as Sperm Whale’s feces Dragon’s Saliva Fragrance, and pearls made from mussel shell stone, all equally expensive.

"Not bad, this treasure hunt is quite interesting."

"The dead wild boar turned out to have Pig Cinnabar inside."

"Without the treasure hunting card, I definitely wouldn’t have known."

At this moment, he saw wolves coming from afar.

The carcass of the wild boar was about to become food for the wolves.

Jiang Feng didn’t bother anymore, he took the Pig Cinnabar, got on his motorcycle, and left the pasture.

Nature is real and wild.

Despite the danger, it holds many treasures.

The treasure hunting experience felt great, not because of the high value of Pig Cinnabar, but for the rarity of such an experience.

Whether to sell or keep this piece of Pig Cinnabar, it would be a good choice.

Jiang Feng sped away and thought to himself:

"The pasture is truly a treasure trove, and what an unexpected gain!"
