Chapter 276 Ranch



Qiu Dafu smiled slightly, and as he spoke, the dress had already been washed clean.

"Let's do it now."

"Huh? Now?"

Qiu Dafu shook the water droplets off his hands and wiped them on his body before taking out a book he had borrowed from Qiu Xu from his pocket.

Anyway, the laundry was already done, and it was just past 9 AM.

At this moment, village chief Zhao Shan walked towards Qiu Yan's house from afar.

Zhao Shan came to find Qiu Dafu, of course, to bring Qiu Dafu and his cousin Guihua together.

Little did they know that upon their arrival, they would witness Qiu Dafu and Jiang Liu chatting and laughing together.

This… He stared wide-eyed, and when he saw Jiang Liu’s stunningly beautiful face, he rubbed his eyes hard.

Previously, Qiu Dafu had never taken the initiative to interact with women.

For a moment, he wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.

Realizing what was happening, he secretly grumbled to himself.

'You, Qiu Dafu, I've been busy with your wedding every day, but I didn't know you'd already found your sweetheart.'

And this woman is so beautiful.

Although Zhao Shan thought so, he ultimately did not go forward to disturb the two.

After today, Qiu Yan's yard will be spotless.

With a large family, Qiu Yan prepared extra meat.

As for livestock, aren't these readily available?

She decided to personally catch them from the Li family's ranch.

The next day, accompanied by Li Zheng, Qiu Yan and Gu Qian went to the ranch together.

Of course, they didn't forget to bring along the two laborers, Ling Qi and Ling Ba.

The livestock on the ranch are of various breeds.

There were quite a few livestock of all sizes, making the pasture seem a bit crowded.

Besides wild animals, there are also some domestic animals, including pigs, rabbits, and sheep.

Of course, domesticated animals and wild animals are separated.

These livestock were all purchased from Baiyang by Li Zheng at Ye's request.

Within the pasture, there are thatched huts filled with soft straw and numerous rabbit burrows.

Compared to last time, there is now a stream in the ranch.

The stream water was brought in from the mountains by Li Zheng so that the livestock would have enough water to drink.

Although the stream is now frozen, there are holes drilled into the ice.

Besides the stream water, there were also some straw and chaff for the livestock to eat.

However, these straws were clearly not enough to eat. Therefore, Li Zheng would go up the mountain every day to find some dry grass.

As soon as Gu Qian arrived at the ranch, his mind was filled with the delicious meals Qiu Yan had prepared.

He was hungry again right after finishing breakfast.

"Master, this ranch is really nice!"

"Choose whatever you want to eat." Li Zheng opened the ranch gate.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony." Gu Qian felt the long-lost fatherly love from his master.

As he spoke, he selected two wild deer, one wild boar, two goats... and five rabbits...

Immediately, he instructed Ling Qi and Ling Ba.

"You two shall slaughter all these livestock."

"Slaughter them all?" Ling Qi's lips were frozen. Wasn't the general afraid of eating his master out of house and home?

He looked at Li Zheng with suspicion, but Li Zheng's expression remained unchanged. "Let him eat as much as he wants."

Ling Ba shook his head: "Can we finish this? This is too much."

Gu Qian smiled and said, "I can finish it." He wanted to try everything the ranch had.

Ling Ba obeyed the general's orders without question.

He took out a sharp knife, aimed it at the wild boar, and prepared to start with it.

Qiu Yan glanced at the somewhat crowded ranch and said, "Uncle Li, the ranch needs to be expanded."

Li Zheng agreed, "The expansion will have to wait until next year."

"Have you ever sold any livestock from the ranch?" Qiu Yan asked.
