Chapter 54: Chapter 52: Dig a Hole, Bury Some Soil, Count 1 2 3 4 5

The next morning, Jiang Feng got up and went to check on the chick that hatched yesterday.

He didn’t have much hope himself, thinking this chick might not survive the night.

When he arrived, the Tabby Cat was lying on the cotton cloth, asleep.

Jiang Feng saw the bald chick lying in the blanket, seemingly dead.

When he got closer and looked carefully, he saw the chick’s belly moving slightly, still breathing.

Immediately, Jiang Feng took out his phone, recorded a video, and said:

"It’s now 6:30 in the morning, and I’ve just gotten up to check on the chick that hatched yesterday."

"It’s doing well, as you can see, its belly is still breathing."

"This chick has congenital malnutrition, with very little down feather, lacking even the strength to break the shell."

"But it managed to survive the most dangerous night."

"It will live well."

Jiang Feng saved this video, did a simple edit with subtitles, and posted it on his short video account.

Nowadays, he edits the highlights of his livestreams every night and posts them on the account. After all, as a recent college graduate, making short videos is quite simple.

However, he often posts slower than others, as many promotional accounts also post his videos, and any exciting scene is immediately published by others.

But Jiang Feng never minds, since promotional accounts bring him more traffic, complementing each other.

Once the video was posted online, some viewers who were in the livestream yesterday immediately commented:

"It really survived, so tough!"

"The ranch owner sure knows how to care; the chicks I bought before always died the same night!"

"As long as it can live on! The ranch owner has done a great thing!"

"Grow up fast, and when grown, make chicken stew with mushrooms!"

After posting the video, Jiang Feng went to have breakfast while arranging the day’s work.

Last night, he drew the skill of driving proficiency, and immediately decided to go buy a tractor in Xilinhot City.

The Maodeng Ranch is just a few dozen kilometers from Xilinhot City, so he can drive back quickly.

A large tractor is essential equipment for the ranch, and Jiang Feng went to the vehicle market, chose a high-quality and expensive large tractor, paid, and drove it straight back to the ranch.

The ranch has been slightly profitable during this period, plus the 500k reserve fund left by Jiang Shan, making the purchase of a tractor worth over 100k quite manageable.

Today’s tractors are no longer the simple hand-held models of the past.

They have a big engine head, four large wheels, the front wheels about as high as a person’s waist, and the rear wheels even taller than regular cars.

The tractor Jiang Feng bought feels substantial, very large.

A regular SUV cannot compare to the tractor.

The road to the ranch is open, with hardly any traffic.

The tractor sped all the way, and Jiang Feng, seated at the driver’s position, had a great view.

A tractor is designed for work on fields, with a huge iron sled at the back, and without sufficient power, it can’t move.

After buying the vehicle, Jiang Feng started the livestream.

Viewers watched him drive across the wilderness, captivated.

[Whoa! What a huge tractor!]

[Where’s the ranch owner? I don’t see him!]

[Looks like he’s the one driving!]

[What? He can even drive a tractor?]

[Turns out handsome people even look handsome driving a tractor!]

Amid the chatter, Jiang Feng appeared in the viewers’ sight, driving the tractor.

He looked through the car window towards the drone and told the viewers:

"Just bought a large tractor; for the ranch, a tractor is necessary."

"The matching tools will also be delivered later."

"A tractor can dig trenches, weed, cultivate soil, ridge, fertilize, and plant; in autumn, it can also cut grass on the pasture, greatly improving work efficiency."

"It feels pretty good to drive."

He played eagerly, like he just got a big new toy.

Seeing him, everyone replied:

[Ranch owner, you can even drive a tractor?]

[Such a big toy car, I want to drive it too!]

[His life is really simple yet exceptional!]

Just then, the truck carrying the accessory tools arrived.

Jiang Feng put these tools in the factory, then asked Ma He to help attach the plough and harrow to the back of the tractor.

Not delaying any further, beside the ranch there’s a large fertile wasteland, with some scattered wild grasses, and Jiang Feng had long disliked this piece of land.

Thus, he personally drove the tractor, heading straight to the wasteland.

The farm animals were watching curiously.

The Golden Retriever stayed far away, not approaching, while the Tabby Cat, being bolder, watched from not too far away.

The drone followed and filmed Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng halted the tractor, stuck some wooden sticks into the ground to roughly plan the area for cultivation.

Then, he drove the vehicle to start the labor.

With the lowering of the plough and harrow, the steel blades inserted into the soil.

The tractor moved forward, carving eight neat parallel furrows on the ground.

The previously barren soil got tilled, revealing the slightly moist, dark-colored soil underneath.

This soil has excellent quality.

Watching this labor scene, people felt quite relieved.

[Oddly satisfying to watch!]

[Why does everything the streamer do look so fun?]

[A regular tractor is just over 10k, what he drives is a luxury large tractor over 100k, how can it not be satisfying?]

[This is the power of money!]

After finishing one round, Jiang Feng raised the plough and harrow, turned the vehicle head, and continued tilling.

With just three passes, the planned field was fully tilled.

"It’s done, not quite satisfying enough,"

Jiang Feng sighed.

[Streamer, if dissatisfied, why not plow the entire pasture?]

[If you plow it all, I’ll reward you with a rocket!]

The viewers were eagerly watching, never tired of creating excitement.

Jiang Feng parked the vehicle aside, then put on a straw hat, picked up a shovel, and started marking the field embankments.

Soon, he cleared one section.

Then, he took out the carrot seeds from yesterday’s lottery and prepared to sow them.

"I’m planting some carrots in this patch."

"Before planting carrots, you usually apply base fertilizer, but this land is quite fertile, so I won’t fertilize."

"Carrot planting is quite simple, you can directly broadcast the seeds."

Jiang Feng picked up the carrot seeds in his palm, walked into the field, and scattered them evenly.

For many, this was their first time watching farming, adding a unique fun.

After sowing the seeds, Jiang Feng found a long hose, connected the water, and started watering the field.

As the water flowed in, the ground quickly became wet, and the seeds got enveloped by the moist soil.

These seeds will germinate in the soil, growing towards the sun.

Then, Jiang Feng took some sunshade netting and spread it over the carrot field.

"Done. Now just wait for them to sprout."

"In your own field, if not for sale, you can grow whatever you want to eat."

"You can plant chili, green onions, tomatoes, corn, wheat, anything."

"The downside of the grassland is the sun and wind are strong; without a greenhouse, better to plant crops that survive well."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng, the young people living in the city were somewhat drawn to it.

They seemed to feel the beauty in Huaxia’s thousands of years of rural tradition.

[Previously, I found it odd why the elderly like planting things, now I seem to understand a bit!]

[Dig a pit, bury some soil, count one, two, three, four, five; your own soil, your own land, anything you plant grows Renming Coin!]

[I am indeed getting older, starting to enjoy photographing flowers, wanting to plant some greenery!]

[It’s because we’re too tired, being pushed forward by society, unable to stop; if life slows down, planting some vegetables and fruits is really nice!]

[Therefore, the ranch owner’s life is only what we long for!]

Everyone watched the footage of Jiang Feng wearing the straw hat, full of energy and life.

Deep down, they increasingly admired and liked him.
