Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start-Chapter 39 - The Farm Has This Course

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Farm Has This Course?!

Chapter 39 -39: The Farm Has This Course?!

Fifty chicks, forty ducklings, twenty goslings.

Xu Yang bought a lot at once.

His farm was entirely sufficient to raise them.

Some farmers could raise five or six hundred chickens just by clearing out a yard and a few rooms.

They were pretty easy to raise.

Xu Yang planned to raise a bit of everything.

Besides these, Xu Yang also bought some pastries, blood sausages, braised meats, and things like that.

Everything was so cheap.

Having returned from university, he still loved the prices around here.

Then, Xu Yang drove the clattering tricycle back to the farm.

The chicken coop, duck coop, and goose shed had all been cleaned out.

Separated by red brick walls, each kind of poultry had its own yard and house.

Xu Yang was in a very good mood.

This was probably the joy of shopping.

Back at the farm, Xu Yang put the little ones into their respective pens.

The secret to raising chickens, ducks, and geese is simple: clean regularly and disinfect often.

As long as the hygiene is maintained well, these chickens and ducks will be able to grow up healthy.

The farm was now taking shape.

The biggest business was still the blueberries in the greenhouse, which was also Xu Yang’s biggest investment.

Then there were the pig pens, chicken coops, duck coops, and goose shed.

Not many were being raised, but there was a bit of everything.

It was lively to watch.

In the afternoon, Xu Yang edited the video from the market and posted it online.

The video wasn’t long, but it showcased the hustle and bustle of the large market.

After seeing it, the fans commented:

“Old Xu, that’s not fair, why didn’t you live stream?”

“Such a lively market, and you can actually buy chickens and ducks directly?”

“You can’t see this in the city.”

“No worries, once the chickens and ducks are grown, they will appear in the city.”

“They all look so cute!”

Xu Yang glanced at the comments section and realized that everyone was also interested in the big market.

This was unexpected to him.

Isn’t buying chickens and ducks the most common thing? Why would everyone want to watch.

It seemed that many people were still attached to their rural roots.

Counting the days, it had been two days without hiking into the mountain; tomorrow would be another day for mountain rushing.

With the Treasure Compass, his mountain rushing earnings had indeed increased a lot.

There were so many good things in the mountains, a true bounty from nature. What the mountain runners dug up was just a drop in the ocean, but it was enough to sustain themselves.

There were still quite a few professional mountain runners.

Now was the peak season, and the mountain goods market was bustling, with everyone immersed in the joy gifted by the mountain.

When the weather turned cold, there would be no more mountain rushing activities.

Xu Yang planned to go deeper this time.

The following day.

Xu Yang once again got up early to venture into the mountain.

The livestream started, and the lush green scenery attracted many viewers.

He headed deeper into the mountain.

The day’s mountain rush was stable and no fierce animals appeared.

However, the mountain rush yield was just average, having only found a growing area of Siberian Ginseng.

Siberian Ginseng is a fairly tall herbaceous plant, with rather firm roots that need to be harvested one by one.

This season’s Siberian Ginseng had also completed its self-reproduction, so Xu Yang pulled out a sack and filled it with a sackful of Siberian Ginseng.

Not much later, he found an area covered in Pine Cones, all over the ground.

Pine Cones are squirrels’ favorite; cracking them open you find Pine nuts inside, but Xu Yang already had a sack full of Siberian Ginseng, so he had to leave these Pine Cones behind.

Last were the First Level protected plants, Cao Congrong, also known as immortal grass, which is a very precious Chinese herbal medicine.

Although precious, wild Cao Congrong is a First Level protected plant, and private harvesting is prohibited. Xu Yang, as a law-abiding mountain runner with integrity, only harvested and dug within permitted areas.

After a day of mountain rushing, Xu Yang walked back with a sack full of Siberian Ginseng.

“Relying on the mountain, this season is precisely when the mountain gives the most.”

“Hereabouts, treasures are truly everywhere, and mountain runner often comes in to hunt for treasure.”

“Moreover, Changbai Mountain is relatively safer in the summer, with a smaller likelihood of encountering wild animals.”

“Winter is more dangerous, usually requiring several people to go into the mountain together.”

Xu Yang explained to everyone.

People watched the real life of the mountain runner with envy and admiration.

Walking in the mountains all day and working, must be exhausting.

Earning money isn’t easy either.

However, if you’re lucky, mountain rushing can be very lucrative.

Just like the Siberian Ginseng Xu Yang had dug up, if sold to a pharmacy could fetch around two thousand bucks.

A large expanse of wild Siberian Ginseng would definitely command a high price.

Xu Yang could also earn a decent amount for his hard work.

Today’s live broadcast was quite stable, with the viewer count staying between two and five thousand.

Not bad at all.

Upon returning to the farm at night, Xu Yang did another live broadcast.

“I’ll show you the chicks and ducklings I bought.”

“The farm is just starting to develop, and we don’t have many animals yet.”

“We’ll raise more in the future,” Xu Yang told his online friends.

As the evening came, the number of viewers began to increase.

After all, many people lie in bed at night with nothing to do, watching live broadcasts to pass the time.

[I’m so envious, I also wish to have a yard like that, to raise some chickens and ducks.]

[You have to be diligent, it’s not so easy.]

[Old Xu is quite impressive!]

[Is this all you’re showing us? What about the leopard you’re raising?]

[Yeah, where’s the leopard you’re raising?]

Seeing the barrage of messages, Xu Yang felt it was preposterous.

I’d like to raise one, but I have to be able to, don’t I?

Apart from wildlife parks, who keep leopards?

Xu Yang first checked on the little chicks, which were foraging everywhere for food.

The chicken shed’s yard had many weeds, and the chicks were pecking among the weeds.

In fact, there was already prepared cornmeal in the feeder, but these chicks clearly had their own ideas.

When they got a little bigger, Xu Yang planned to let them out into the adjacent mountains, enclose them with a fence and let them free-range.

Chicken meat raised this way would taste delicious and be healthy.

Of course, someone would need to keep an eye on them, otherwise a wild animal wandering here would be perplexed, a fence enclosing dozens of chicks? A heaven-sent buffet?

Xu Yang then visited the duck shed and picked up two adorably dopey yellow ducklings.

“These ducks are land ducks, hatched from a breeding center, and have never seen water.”

“They’re sold off after being hatched and vaccinated.”

“Usually, they are pen-raised.”

“The ducks from our village roam free, oftentimes banding together to play in the river behind, and come back at night without needing much worry.”

“I plan to raise them the same way, to cut down on feed.”

“But first and foremost, I’ve got to teach them how to swim.”

Xu Yang said, looking at the ducklings in his hand and sharing his thoughts.

Hearing his words, viewers wore faces full of big question marks.

What?

Teach ducks to swim?

Did I hear that right?

You’re going to teach ducks to swim?

Everyone thought that was quite absurd.

Xu Yang then said nonchalantly:

“The outdoor swimming pool I bought should arrive tomorrow.”

“It’s summer now, a good time to teach the ducks to swim.”

For a while, viewers were dumbfounded.

Old Xu, your farm offers this course too?!
