Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 113 - 111: Cat Boss: I Fight Protected Species!

Chapter 113: Chapter 111: Cat Boss: I Fight Protected Species!

Jiang Feng took advantage of the night, went off the highway, and arrived at his grandmother’s house.

It was already around nine o’clock in the evening.

His parents had been anxiously waiting, worried something might happen.

After the car entered the yard, Jiang Feng parked it and then lifted cows and sheep from the trunk.

At this moment, Jiang Shan said to Jiang Feng:

"Is the egg fried rice you make really that delicious? It’s trending now, and my friends are even asking me about it."

"Your mom wants to try it too; make a plate for her."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but laugh.

"Sure, no problem."

Next to them, Jiang Feng’s mother heard this and scolded Jiang Shan:

"You want to eat it, so just admit it, don’t keep using me as an excuse."

Jiang Shan chuckled and replied:

"Just thinking ahead for you, isn’t it?"

At this time, his grandparents also came out, inviting Jiang Feng to come inside to eat hot lamb stew.

The knife-shaved noodles and lamb stew here are delicious; Jiang Feng has loved them since he was little.

The family atmosphere was very harmonious.

Online, Jiang Feng’s egg fried rice was seen by many people.

The impromptu egg fried rice on the traffic-jammed road became a minor viral event, with many news media accounts posting related content.

After all, such fun events are what people delight in hearing and seeing.

After reading the news, people left comments one after another.

[Is the host not live streaming but frying rice on the highway instead?]

[Haha, how come I see the host here too!]

[Am I the only one focused on the egg fried rice he cooked?]

[Food streamer confirmed!]

[I don’t believe it; I suspect everyone on that highway was in on it, unless I get a taste!]

As the popularity of this event rose, the sales of egg fried rice quickly increased.

The next day, at many university canteen windows, egg fried rice was sold out.

Everyone seems to enjoy joining in on the fun.

For the next two days, Jiang Feng spent his time at his grandmother’s house.

Here, there was no need to worry about anything, only to play.

Jiang Feng’s parents didn’t ask much about the pasture.

Actually, there was no need to ask Jiang Feng, because Jiang Shan could simply make a few calls to Yang Maolin and Niu Erhu to know the pasture’s situation.

Jiang Feng managed the pasture very well.

Even better than Jiang Shan himself had done.

The business was fully handed over to Jiang Feng now, allowing him to run it as he wishes.

After the holiday, Jiang Feng thought about the pasture and drove back, taking Xiaojin Hua with him.

After daily family visits and socializing, it’s necessary to return to one’s own routine.

The next morning, Jiang Feng began livestreaming at the pasture as usual.

Upon starting the stream, a flood of netizens joined in.

[Host, we want egg fried rice!]

[Finally streaming again?]

[Glad you’re back at the pasture!]

[These past days I’ve seen so many videos of you making egg fried rice!]

[This time you’ve really hit the spotlight!]

Jiang Feng’s popularity has been steadily increasing, occasionally experiencing small viral events, with this steady growth resulting in many genuine fans.

Some streams are just a gimmick, they become popular for a while and then vanish.

Like the previous "I’m from Yunnan" joke, which had more than 100,000 online viewers at its peak, but has now gradually faded.

Jiang Feng petted Little White Wolf and Little Donkey, after not seeing these little guys for three days, they surrounded him enthusiastically.

Jiang Feng spoke:

"I just happened to encounter such an event, so fried some rice out of convenience."

"It was the convoy people who were more enthusiastic, everyone was hungry for a while, so we just joined in the fun."

His livestream screen was always distinctive.

The drone captured footage at a height of three to four meters, showing him clearly with a large group of cute pets.

White Wolf and Little Donkey were adorable, Xiaojin Hua and the seven Little Golden Retrievers were fluffy and very cute.

Such scenes in the livestream always make people stop and watch for a while.

Even if they only watch for ten seconds, they’ll be charmed by the cute animals.

At this moment, Jiang Feng suddenly heard a threatening cat cry.

His expression tightened, he immediately stood up.

"There’s movement, Cat Boss is fighting!"

"What’s happening?"

Jiang Feng left his yard, heading towards the chicken coop next door.

The chicken coop was behind the living area, very close to Jiang Feng’s yard.

At this time, Hadan, the farm employee, was also near the chicken coop.

Jiang Feng looked ahead, his expression slightly changing.

Not far from the chicken coop, a grown weasel was peeking over, watching this way.

The Cat Boss wasn’t having it at all and darted forward with five or six quick swipes.

The weasel was so scared it had to run backward.

The drone’s camera immediately focused on the weasel.

Having finally found an opponent, the Cat Boss wasn’t about to let it get away.

The two creatures sprinted off.

Another round of "it runs, it chases" unfolded.

"Cat Boss, come back!"

Jiang Feng hastily called out.

But the Cat Boss ignored Jiang Feng and kept chasing the weasel into the distance.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng could only shake his head helplessly.

[Is that a weasel? How come I think it’s rather cute?]

[It’s a marten, after all. Martens are actually quite aesthetically pleasing to us humans!]

[Yeah, when I first heard it was called a weasel, I thought it must be a wolf that looked like a mouse, only to find out later it looks similar to a ferret.]

[Weasels are also known as ermine, and animals in the mustelid family are quite adorable.]

The bullet screen was bustling.

Jiang Feng, however, felt a bit concerned and said:

"The weasel is out too."

"Don’t underestimate the small size of a weasel. If it’s a pet cat or a weaker farm cat, a weasel can bite a cat to death from behind."

"There are eight major carnivorous species in nature, and the top predator in terms of hunting ability and overall strength is certainly the feline."

"Mustelids are also one of the eight major carnivorous types. They may be small, but they’ve got great hunting skills."

"They can even kill eagles!"

Jiang Feng’s explanation touched on a knowledge blind spot for many.

Feline creatures are well-known: tigers, lions, leopards, those kinds.

The next most familiar carnivores are canines and bears.

[Are mustelids so fierce? I thought they were really cute!]

[Wild martens are known for cracking skulls to eat brains, you tell me if they’re cute!]

[With their bushy eyebrows and adorable eyes, they crack heads with precision!]

[Haha, what’s in the mustelid family?]

Jiang Feng looked off into the distance, seeing the Cat Boss returning at a measured pace, full of vigor.

The weasel had been chased away, and the Cat Boss had stopped the pursuit.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng was relieved.

Weasels generally don’t kill chickens, but when they do, they often kill many, which is problematic.

Jiang Feng wasn’t sure of this weasel’s habits.

In fact, weasels are actually beneficial to humans because their main food sources are rats and rabbits; they only eat other things when they’re starving.

If it just ate rats, Jiang Feng would even consider keeping them.

"Don’t underestimate mustelids, they are the most widespread among the eight carnivorous groups."

"African grasslands, forests, rivers, lakes, Antarctica, and Australia all have them."

"Ferocious ones include the badgers, most famous in the African grasslands is the Honey Badger. Other animals’ skins are protective colors, but they’re out there with white backs and heads, picking fights everywhere."

"Then there are the marten species, like the ferret and sable, which are around here but rare."

"Otters, both river and sea, are quite cute and human-friendly, and love toys."

"As carnivores, they’re just relatively small, so they don’t look as fierce, but they’re actually quite formidable."

"That adult weasel just now was very experienced, but the Cat Boss is also tough, so handling it was a breeze."

Jiang Feng gently narrated the story of mustelid animals.

Through his educational explanation, netizens learned about how widespread the mustelid family is.

However, most mustelids rarely interact with humans.

The only exception is the recently trendy pet ferrets.

[The Honey Badger is a mustelid too, I really enjoy watching the Honey Badger!]

[So otters are included too, I’ve seen them at the zoo, so cute and adorable!]

[Does this family have such a broad distribution?]

[Weasels really do look like ferrets, just that ferrets are white and weasels are yellow.]

[Can this be kept as a pet? Why don’t you keep it, host?]

[It seems they’re considered a Tier 2 protected animal now!]

Netizens excitedly discussed.

The Cat Boss returned triumphantly, feeling extremely proud.

It walked with light and cheerful steps, raising its tail high upon seeing Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng squatted down, calling over the Cat Boss, and gently stroked its chin.

"If that weasel eats chickens, just go ahead and beat it up."

"If it doesn’t eat chickens, don’t provoke it."

"It is a protected animal, and we can’t afford to harm it."

"Don’t get me in trouble."

Jiang Feng wasn’t sure if the Cat Boss understood, but he gave it a few words anyway.

Upon hearing this, the Cat Boss curled its lip, revealing a sharp fang, with eyes showing three parts indifference, three parts disdain, and four parts nonchalance.

It seemed to say: I’ll damn well fight a protected animal if I want to.
