Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Shearing Sheep—Bro, Can't You Leave Me Some Underwear?

The segment of ranch rabbit meat had viewers gritting their teeth.

Jiang Feng's culinary skills are top-notch.

Whether it's slicing rabbit meat or honey-charcoal grilled rabbit, the color, aroma, and taste are all excellent.

Especially when tearing the rabbit meat, the golden skin has a bit of crispiness, with oil juice oozing out, making everyone's appetite stir.

Jiang Feng enjoyed his meal, and after eating two legs, he used a knife to divide the rabbit meat in half, feeding it to Lucky and Wealthy.

Then, he stood up contentedly, wiped his hands, and prepared to tidy up.

"That's it for today's livestream."

"Tomorrow I'll stay at the ranch to shear the sheep, only a few of them will be let out."

"I'll also call in the horseshoe repair guy to fix the horseshoes of the horses on my ranch."

"Plus, I'll handle some forage and check on the lambs."

"Life as a herder is a bit monotonous, but also busy."

"See you tomorrow."

Jiang Feng said goodbye to the viewers.

[Showing off your cooking and then running?]

[Stream a bit longer!]

[Ending the stream so early, it's only 7:30 PM!]

[Goodbye, ranch owner.]

The viewers also said goodbye to Jiang Feng.

Next, Jiang Feng closed the livestream, adjusted the drone to fly down, and recharged it.

The drone's battery can guarantee five days of high-performance streaming, but daily charging is still necessary.

Then, Jiang Feng cleaned and stored the grill and the grill rack.

After wandering around the ranch, he returned to his room to lie down and play with his phone.

Nothing much to do, just resting.

Meanwhile, Jiang Feng chose to settle the day's popularity value.

"Number of viewers online for more than a minute today: 232,238, average online time 2.5 hours, gained popularity 580,595."

"Current total popularity value: 1.53 million."

Jiang Feng had over 900,000 popularity value yesterday and gained another 580,000 today, reaching 1.53 million popularity value.

Once past a million, the system automatically rounds off, no longer recording values under ten thousand.

Jiang Feng didn't hesitate, immediately choosing to draw prizes.

"One Advanced Lottery, five Basic Lotteries."

"Host chose Advanced Lottery, the first Advanced Lottery is guaranteed to obtain Skill, drawing..."

The system's voice sounded, and then a golden flash appeared before Jiang Feng's eyes.

"Congratulations host on obtaining Skill: Grandmaster Level Veterinarian."

"Grandmaster Level Veterinarian: Host is proficient in treating animal diseases, injuries, and has mastered methods of animal care."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng's face lit up with joy.

This is a great skill!

For ranchers, the most heartbreaking thing is when their sheep and cattle get sick.

And in extreme weather, when sheep die in large numbers, ranchers call it a "white disaster," causing despair and grief overnight.

Now with the veterinarian Skill, Jiang Feng is naturally delighted.

It's truly a divine skill for running a ranch!

Next came five ordinary rewards.

"Congratulations host on obtaining items: National Trend Short Sleeve Shirt, a normal short sleeve shirt, good quality, ventilated."

"Horsehead Fiddle: High-quality horsehead fiddle, can be played."

"Mongolian Clothing (Spring and Autumn): Mongolian attire for spring and fall, good warmth retention."

"Special Cold Medicine 1 box: Effective cold medicine, can quickly cure a cold."

"Cooling Hat (Yellow Version): Beige cooling straw hat, blocks UV rays during hot summer days."

Hearing the system's reward notification, Jiang Feng nodded slightly.

The rewards are decent.

After all, the probability of drawing a skill in an ordinary lottery is low, but the Special Cold Medicine and Cooling Hat are useful.

Finally, the hat is not green.

Jiang Feng took out the cooling straw hat; the design was very smooth, and it felt light and unrestricted when worn.

Ranchers wear hats outside for sun protection when herding.

Other rewards were taken out and stored, ready for use when needed.

Jiang Feng thought he might save some popularity value for future Advanced Lotteries.

Most items in the Basic Lotteries could be bought with money.

Then, he spent some time on his phone, doing simple editing of today's video and uploading it online before falling into a deep sleep.

Next day, the sun rose as usual.

Today was again a rare day of good weather.

It was early morning; after a quiet night, the sheep started bleating.

Generally, sheep are most lively when they first return to the pen.

Because they're looking for companions, looking for mothers.

Once they find their companions, the sheep calm down, even thousands of them together are quiet.

Today the sheep are getting sheared.

After breakfast, Jiang Feng started the stream early.

Except for a small number of sheep let out for grazing, the rest stayed here.

In the pen, the sheep poked their heads curiously, observing the ranch employees.

Seemingly puzzled why they weren't let out to graze.

Jiang Feng and a few others prepared the sheep shears, ready to start shearing.

The number of viewers in the stream kept increasing.

Shearing videos are quite stress-relieving, popular with many online viewers.

Now Jiang Feng was streaming shearing more than two thousand sheep at once, making it even more attractive.

"Old Ma, let another thousand out, no way we'll finish in a day."

Jiang Feng looked at the pen situation and arranged.

"Sure, no problem."

Ma He readily agreed, then entered another pen, driving the sheep to graze outside.

Jiang Feng glanced at the stream.

Over thirty thousand viewers had joined.

He addressed everyone:

"Today we're shearing sheep, you can see their wool is quite thick."

"It's so hot; without shearing, the sheep might suffer from the heat."

"Lamb's wool is easiest to shear, as it's clean; adult sheep's wool is a bit dirty and thick, so it's harder to shear."

"This also depends on the skills of the herder."

The drone filmed the sheep in the pen; these sheep weren't actually chubby, but their wool was thick.

Seeing this, viewers responded:

[Ranch owner, hurry up and shear, my OCD is acting up!]

[Hurry up and shear, give me satisfaction!]

[If I weren't far away, I'd volunteer to shear wool.]

[I've seen related videos; it's really satisfying!]

Jiang Feng didn't expect such high enthusiasm from the viewers.

Nowadays, in this information age, many things get uploaded online.

For herders, shearing is just part of daily life, but for many city dwellers, it's the best stress-relief video.

Yang Maolin and Niu Erhu joined in.

They opened the pen and first let twenty sheep out.

Then, each picked up a sheep, laying it on the ground belly-up.

Jiang Feng joined the shearing army.

He picked up an extremely fat adult sheep, laying it on the ground.

The sheep seemed to understand what humans were doing and didn't resist.

The viewers became increasingly interested.

Jiang Feng explained:

"Shearing requires skill; if you shear like cutting hair, then there's no level to it, anyone can do it."

"Professional herders can shear off a complete sheet of wool."

"Start shearing from the belly, like removing its coat."

As he spoke, Jiang Feng started the shearer, shearing the belly and trimming along the skin.

The wool sheared off curled like a carpet.

The bare body of the sheep revealed under the shearing motion.

Viewers kept commenting humorously, with many pretending to be sheep:

[Ah, undressing in broad daylight!]

[Hey, don't shear it all, leave me some shorts!]

[Be careful not to shear my little grape!]

[Leave some shorts, even G-string is fine, really not leaving anything!]

These comments made many laugh out loud.

The atmosphere in the stream was lively and bustling.
