Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 53 - 51: Skill Unlocked!

Jiang Feng sat on the chair, with a basin on the table in front of him.

He took out an egg from the basin, gently shook it, then put it to his ear to listen.

His expression was very focused.

The Tabby Cat jumped onto the table, stretching its head, seeming more concerned about the egg than Jiang Feng.

Viewers were quite curious through the livestream.

The unknown and random are often intriguing.

The feeling of opening a life mystery box is even more thrilling.

"This one makes no sound, the chick inside didn’t survive."

Jiang Feng put down the egg, slightly regretful.

Then, he picked up another egg from the basin, repeated the process, slightly shook it, then listened to it.

If the chick is alive, there will be a faint sound.

Jiang Feng listened intently, the Tabby Cat watched intently.

Viewers were eager to stretch their ears over to listen.

At this time, Jiang Feng heard a faint sound.

Inside seemed to be a little life unwilling to die in the egg pecking hard at the shell.

"There’s a sound!"

"There’s a chick in here!"

Jiang Feng’s eyes brightened up, quite pleased.

Then, he took out a hot water bottle from nearby, filled it with hot water indoors, adjusting the temperature to ensure even warmth.

Jiang Feng placed the hot water bottle on the table, then gently cracked open the egg shell at one end and started peeling.

[Is there a sound?]

[Is there really a chick inside?]

[Can it survive?]

[Chicks that can’t break out of the shell are inherently weak, usually won’t survive!]

[Not necessarily, each individual is different, inherent weakness doesn’t mean a low survival will.]

As the shell cracked open, a pink chick with hardly any down appeared in people’s view.

Jiang Feng immediately placed it on top of the hot water bottle.

"This kind of chick can’t be placed in a chicken coop, its constitution is too weak to survive."

"It can only get through the first hurdle on the hot water bottle."

"Pity there’s no constant temperature incubator at the ranch, I need to get one."

Jiang Feng said, taking a syringe, he drew a bit of warm water and placed it at the chick’s mouth, lightly administering it.

The chick, with eyes closed, weakly chirping, but opened its mouth forcefully, kept drinking hot water.

This was to clean the chick’s intestines and disinfect its stomach, warm water is very beneficial for its body.

After administering some warm water, Jiang Feng brought glucose water, injected once again.

After drinking glucose water, the chick closed its eyes, lay on the hot water bottle, weakly squinting.

It still breathed, albeit weakly.

"Phew, the first hurdle is over, it can drink water and glucose, indicating strong survival will, the fear was it wouldn’t eat anything."

"The next step is to get through the night, survive it, it should basically live."

"Later, prepare a small oven for it, it lacks feathers now, more afraid of the cold."

Jiang Feng looked at the chick on the hot water bottle, speaking.

This chick, due only to some down, looked ugly, but Jiang Feng wasn’t disdainful.

The Tabby Cat beside stared at the chick, unclear in thought.

[Really hatched a chick after all!]

[It’s alive too!]

[So thin and small, like a quail, can it survive?]

[Inherent flaws, if it can grow, it’s a miracle!]

The livestream’s comments were animatedly discussing.

Then, Jiang Feng continued shaking the eggs.

He listened carefully to every egg.

After one round, he listened again, finally confirmed, there were no more living chicks.

"Just one chick didn’t crack open."

"I’ll do my best to help it, see if it can survive."

"This little one is quite lucky."

"The rest are embryos that stopped developing, rich in nutrients, can protect the liver and counter aging."

"But everyone’s dietary habits are different, many might not accept this, so I won’t stream cooking them."

Jiang Feng explained to everyone.

Then, he began preparing a constant temperature area for the chick.

This was simple, just find an electric blanket, set to the lowest gear, put a cotton pad on it, let the temperature rise and place the chick on it.

Jiang Feng fed it a bit of liquid food, which the chick also ate.

"Boss, don’t squash it tonight, be careful."

Jiang Feng looked at the Tabby Cat, said.

The Tabby Cat didn’t respond.

This Tabby Cat never ate chicks, so Jiang Feng was very at ease with it.

After finishing, it was dinner time, he left the chick inside and went to eat.

The Tabby Cat didn’t leave.

Many viewers noticed something.

Everyone reminded:

[Host, why does Cat Boss keep following the chick! Is it planning to eat it?]

[It was even watching the chicken field earlier!]

[I feel its intentions aren’t pure!]

[Be careful not to find the chick missing the next day!]

[Hard to hatch, don’t let the cat eat it!]

Seeing these comments, Jiang Feng chuckled, said:

"Rest assured, Cat Boss never eats chicks."

"When it was young, it grew up in the yard with some chickens, played together."

"Cats grow slower, chickens faster, within a year, chickens reach edible size."

"So during New Year, my parents slaughtered those chickens."

"Maybe Cat Boss felt it didn’t protect the chickens well, now is very nurturing to chicks."

"Though when chickens grow up, it doesn’t bother much."

"It really likes being with little yellow chicks, looks like a cool fighting country cat, but it has its own nurturing things."

Jiang Feng’s account was very amusing.

Listeners were quite surprised hearing such a story.

[That tabby cat can be like this?]

[Domineering cat boss!]

[Tabby Cat: These chicks are mine to protect, not even Jesus can take them, I said so!]

[The fire shines bright, the fire blazes bright, all my disciples, meow meow meow meow!]

[I want to join the Meow Meow cult!]

Comments were lively.

The time was getting late, Jiang Feng had to eat dinner, so he decided to end the stream.

Tonight’s dinner was the whole sheep he won yesterday, Gelya’s cooking skills aren’t bad, making the meat very tasty.

In the evening, Jiang Feng calculated today’s popularity value.

Including the accumulation of previous days, his total popularity value reached about five million two hundred thousand.

"Five Advanced Lotteries, two Basic Lotteries."

Jiang Feng felt the number was sufficient, then chose to draw.

"Host chooses Advanced Lottery, drawing....."

"Congratulations, Host received items:"

"Leica Camera S-Type: High-performance camera, powerful functions."

"A Set of Zisha Clay Tea Set: Handcrafted Zisha teapot, beautifully shaped."

"Da Hong Pao Tea, 1000g: Authentic Da Hong Pao tea leaves."

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall*1 pot: King of Fujian Cuisine, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, using sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, conpoy, turtle shell, deer tendons and dozens of precious ingredients, with winter mushroom and bamboo shoots placed in Shaoxing wine jar, sealed with lotus leaf, slow-cooked with stock."

Jiang Feng just wanted to marvel at actually drawing an authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and then, a flash of gold appeared before his eyes.

A Skill appeared!

"Congratulations, Host acquired Skill: Vehicle Driving and Mechanical Mastery."

"Vehicle Driving and Mechanical Mastery: Host masters driving large vehicles, expertise in operating tractors, excavators, large cranes and other machinery."

Things drawn from Advanced Lottery are always good.

This time, the items drawn were all highly valuable.

There’s Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and genuine Da Hong Pao, more expensive than gold.

The most crucial thing was drawing two skills.

At this moment, the system sound was again heard.

"Host chooses Ordinary Lottery, drawing....."

"Congratulations, Host received items:"

"A Bag of Premium Carrot Seeds: High-quality carrot seeds, drought and heat-resistant, strong moisture absorption capacity."

"A Bag of Premium Watermelon Seeds: Premium watermelon seeds, well nurtured, can yield thin-skinned, seedless crisp pulp watermelons."
