Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 55 - 53: The Indulgent Cat and the Aggrieved Golden Retriever!
In the scorching summer, it was the hottest time of the day.
When people mention summer, they often have two expectations.
One is to enjoy the air conditioner while eating watermelon, for refreshment and coolness;
The other is to see long legs everywhere, a feast for the eyes.
In the afternoon, Jiang Feng took out a dozen watermelon seeds and taught his viewers watermelon planting techniques.
"Today I’ll tell you how to plant watermelons."
"When eating watermelon, you can spit out a lot of seeds, but some people bury them in pots and find they don’t grow at all."
"That’s because they haven’t handled them properly."
"Planting watermelons requires a method."
When people heard Jiang Feng’s words, many took watermelon from the fridge, spitting out seeds onto tissue paper while watching his livestream, preparing to learn.
Planting watermelons can be considered a form of gardening, as everyone learns to sow together in a relaxed atmosphere.
[Watermelon seeds are ready, learning to plant with the host!]
[Dig, dig, dig in the little garden, plant little seeds to grow big melons!]
The viewers were full of enthusiasm.
The screen was filled with the bullet chat "Dig, dig, dig in the little garden."
Their innate farming genes were being activated.
Jiang Feng explained: "First, clean the watermelon seeds with water, then dry them in the sun. Be careful not to sun-dry them, just let the mild sun dry them out."
"You need to dry them like this for two days."
"I’ll put the watermelon seeds here to dry; the sun is milder in this place."
Jiang Feng arranged two rows of watermelon seeds in a clean bamboo basket and put them on the windowsill to dry.
At the hottest part of the noon, there just happened to be shadows that could cover the bamboo basket, preventing the watermelon seeds from over-drying.
Many people followed his method, washing the seeds clean and placing them on the windowsill to dry in the sun.
"Let them dry first. The day after tomorrow, soak the seeds in warm water around sixty degrees for two to three hours, then place them on a wet towel to germinate."
"Keep the towel moist and wait for the seeds to start sprouting, which means they are ready to be sown."
"Then, loosen the soil and plant the watermelon seeds."
After placing the seeds, Jiang Feng got up to check on the chicks.
The viewers were enthusiastic; watermelon is common, and many people have pots at home, just waiting to try Jiang Feng’s method to see if they can grow watermelon themselves.
Jiang Feng went to the chicken farm to check on the chicks.
The chicken coop in the ranch was small, simply an area enclosed by a wire mesh, inside which there were several chicken nests, housing about twenty meat chickens.
At the moment, the chicks had just been born and were chirping incessantly.
Jiang Feng saw Golden Retriever Wangwang and the Tabby Cat near the chicken coop, with the Golden Retriever peering from outside the fence and the Tabby Cat lying inside, leisurely hugging two little yellow chicks.
Jiang Feng said to his viewers:
"I also put the newly hatched chick in the coop; I come daily to feed it some liquid food."
"Chicks are born with different feathering, you can see those little yellow chicks on the outside, born with dense feathers, they’re not afraid of the cold, so they run out to play during the day."
"Some chicks have slower feather growth and are afraid of the cold, so they stay inside the coop."
"The weather is fine now, no rain or temperature drops, so these chicks should all survive."
The drone camera turned towards the chicken coop to give the relaxed-looking Tabby Cat a close-up.
Seeing the Tabby Cat hugging two little yellow chicks, the viewers immediately felt cheerful.
[Is this cat cuddling chicks?]
[Wow, the pet has pets now?]
[This cat sure knows how to enjoy life!]
[Little Yellow Chicks: Are you satisfied with our massage, Cat Boss?]
[Hahaha, turns out the host was right, this rural cat really likes chicks!]
When Golden Retriever Wangwang saw Jiang Feng, it immediately acted cute with him.
Jiang Feng knew it was expecting puppies these days, so he didn’t take it shepherding, letting it rest at home, with good food and drink provided.
Wangwang wagged its tail in front of Jiang Feng and, seeing Jiang Feng looking at it, moved to the fence, nudging its nose towards the chicken coop.
Seeing its expression, Jiang Feng instantly knew what it wanted to do.
"You want to play with the chicks too?"
"No way, you’re too big, you might accidentally squash the chicks."
Jiang Feng said to the Golden Retriever.
Chickens are fragile and can easily be squashed.
There’s a story where someone driving through the countryside accidentally ran over a chicken by the roadside.
He got out of the car and asked a child, pointing to the flattened chicken: "Is this chicken yours?"
The child looked at the chicken and replied: "No, my family’s chickens aren’t this flat."
A Golden Retriever is heavy and could crush a chick with a single roll.
Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the Golden Retriever tried to act cute to get away with it, lightly barked once.
Seeing its demeanor, Jiang Feng, keeping an eye on it, opened the coop door and led it in.
The Tabby Cat merely raised its head to glance at Jiang Feng, then continued to lie on its side.
The Golden Retriever followed Jiang Feng but stayed far from the Tabby Cat, looking at it with fear, clearly not daring to provoke the Cat Boss.
Jiang Feng squatted inside the chicken coop to check on the chicks.
One little yellow chick discovered the Golden Retriever, and like they say, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so it immediately ran toward the Golden Retriever, very friendly.
The Golden Retriever lowered its head, sniffing the little chick, looking puzzled, as if thinking, "Why is this thing moving?"
The live broadcast scene was very heartwarming.
Rancher Jiang Feng was inspecting the chicks inside the coop, while both the cat and dog leisurely played with them.
The drone camera aimed at the Golden Retriever.
It had a friendly interaction with the little yellow chick.
The Golden Retriever lowered its head, and the chick found the mouth warm, so, feeling a bit cold, it desperately tried to crawl inside.
The Golden Retriever was a bit dumbfounded.
It slightly opened its mouth, and the next second, the little chick climbed right in.
Its whole body wriggled in, only leaving two chick feet hanging at the corners of the Golden Retriever’s mouth, like the fangs of a vampire.
The viewers were stunned!
[Oh my, did the chick crawl into the Golden Retriever’s mouth?]
[Is the little guy that desperate?]
[If it weren’t a live broadcast, I wouldn’t believe it!]
[Hahaha, even the Golden Retriever is confused, this chick has a death wish!]
[These little animals are hilarious!]
At that moment, Jiang Feng just finished checking the chicks in the coop.
He turned around to see the Golden Retriever holding a little yellow chick in its mouth, the chick’s butt facing outwards with its feet hanging from Wangwang’s mouth corners.
"Wangwang, spit it out!"
Jiang Feng assumed Wangwang was bullying the chick and hurriedly said.
Wangwang looked aggrieved, pitifully opened its mouth, and let the chick down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the chick was out, it flapped its tiny wings, trying to climb back into the dog’s mouth.
[Hahaha, this chick really has a death wish!]
[It’s warm in there, of course, it wants in!]
[Golden Retriever: Is it my fault?]
[Host, you misunderstood the Golden Retriever!]
The bullet chat lit up instantly.
Only then did Jiang Feng realize something was off.
Seeing the bullet chat, he went over, patted Wangwang’s head, "I wronged you."
Then he grabbed the little chick and put it back into the coop.
"All the chicks are doing well, will feed them a bit later."
Jiang Feng opened the chicken coop door, letting the Golden Retriever come out first, then stepped out himself and closed the door.
The Tabby Cat remained nonchalant, lounging around.
Jiang Feng was not too concerned about it and planned to head to the kitchen to eat something.
After a few steps, a pink figure jogging appeared in his line of sight.
It was a little pig.
The pig’s backside swayed with an eye-catching black heart-shaped mark.
"Oh no, the pig ran away!"
Jiang Feng exclaimed, chasing after the little pig.
The little pig, hearing the commotion behind, glanced back and its four legs scurried quickly.
It sped off faster than you might expect! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Pigs can run quite fast, and it quickly put some distance between itself and Jiang Feng.
"Don’t run!"
Jiang Feng sped up to chase after it.
The viewers were flabbergasted by the scene.
Everything seemed fine, how did it suddenly heat up like this!
