A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 268 The rancher on the grassland, the meeting of two second-generation rich kids!

After the "Hundred Lions Win the Championship" performance, the lion dance troupe's performances became very popular.

Many shopping malls have set up plum blossom poles and invited lion dance troupes to perform.

A single performance has ignited an entire industry.

Although this traffic is temporary, it's definitely better to have it than nothing.

People in other intangible cultural heritage sectors, upon learning of these circumstances, are all looking forward to the intangible cultural heritage activities season at Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

Qi Yue's approach was quite simple: he now had enough staff and set up an "Intangible Cultural Heritage Office".

They are specifically responsible for coordinating matters related to intangible cultural heritage.

Furthermore, an announcement was released welcoming artisans of intangible cultural heritage to register and participate.

To the scenic area's surprise, the announcement sparked an unprecedented surge in registrations.

“A master of filigree inlay, who is also a national intangible cultural heritage master, has applied to exhibit his filigree inlay artworks at the Goulan Washe.”

"I also have a master of traditional Chinese painting here. I'd like to inquire if there's an opportunity to showcase my landscape paintings!"

"So many theater actors have signed up, and with so many different types of theater, it's hard to standardize them!"

"Let's sort this out, come up with a plan, and report it to the boss."

The Intangible Cultural Heritage Office is extremely busy every day.

The office director saw this as a great opportunity to showcase himself and was very ambitious.

After all, you have to achieve results to get a promotion and a raise.

This is also one of the advantages of being a boss.

The subordinates do all the work, so all you have to do is steer the ship.

The intangible cultural heritage has made a good start, so Qi Yue doesn't need to worry about the rest.

The most important event in the scenic area right now is the construction of the Qunyu Pavilion.

An island high in the sky.

That's all for next year. Once it's built, it'll be bustling again.

With all the summer activities planned out, Qi Yue didn't want to deal with trivial matters every day.

I'm planning to go out and have some fun.

Just then, his college classmate Jiang Feng sent him a message.

"What are you busy with, big boss?"

Jiang Feng and Qi Yue have a very good relationship; they are both dining buddies and travel companions.

Both of them were very good-looking and were quite popular at school. In any case, quite a few girls liked them.

They each had a very beautiful girlfriend.

After graduating from university, Jiang Feng returned home and inherited his family's vast grassland of tens of thousands of acres, along with thousands of cattle and sheep, becoming a wealthy rancher.

It's over in Xilin Gol.

Qi Yue then returned to the suburbs to inherit his family's scenic area.

As for their girlfriends, they both wanted to stay in the big city, so the relationship naturally fizzled out.

"I've been free lately and I'd like to go to the grasslands for a visit."

"How many people are you taking? Will you provide hospitality?"

Qi Yue replied via WeChat.

"Absolutely, as many people as you want."

"No one comes to my place for ten days or half a month, so I will definitely treat them well."

Jiang Feng immediately extended an invitation.

“Okay, no problem. I was just planning to take a trip to the grasslands anyway.”

Qi Yue finalized the itinerary.

It's only the beginning of August, and the grasslands are at their best for travel.

The grass is lush and green, and various animals are quite active.

In autumn and winter, the grass is withered and yellow, so it's not very interesting to see.

Qi Yue plans to go to the grasslands.

His travel live streams are also very popular online.

A relaxed and casual tone always attracts attention.

Having decided on the destination, Qi Yue began calling for people.

Liu Hua, the driver, is responsible for driving and also does filming.

The other members, Lin Ran and Zhao Rou, were in charge of the appearance aspect.

They are both good-looking and have many fans online, including many fans of Qi Yue.

Many people even asked them to do a live stream; the older brother really wanted to spend money on them.

They are definitely not that kind of person.

Lin Ran spends her days idly wandering around the scenic area, taking photos, and singing a few songs at a bar in the evening.

Zhao Rou sometimes participates in the scenic area's parade activities. In the evening, there is a special stage in the scenic area for her to perform dances, and she is very popular.

Upon hearing that they were going to the grasslands, Zhao Rou expressed her strong desire to go, while Lin Ran said she didn't want the hassle.

Qi Yue asked her why, and Lin Ran replied:
"There are a lot of mosquitoes and it's a bit sunny. Lately, all I want to do is lie in an air-conditioned house."

Qi Yue thought this reason was reasonable, so he didn't let her go.

So, Qi Yue made some more arrangements for the scenic area, invited his parents to stay there for a while, and then went off to play on the grasslands.

They also brought their live streaming equipment.

We flew directly to the airport.

Jiang Feng even came to greet him personally.

A brand new MPV, the seven-seater kind, with electric doors, and all the interior decorations are new as well.

This guy is a second-generation rancher; he's not short of money.

His ranch is now thriving and is quite famous in the area.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you. The whole roasted lamb is all ready, just waiting for you."

Upon meeting, Jiang Feng extended an invitation with a smile.

"There are so many things to do after graduation, unlike when we were in college, we didn't have any holidays."

"We have to squeeze in time to even get out."

"I've had some free time lately."

Qi Yue responded.

"Yes, I'm too busy to leave. As soon as I graduated and came back, my dad leased 10,000 acres of grassland for me and let me manage it all myself."

"With so many cattle and sheep, you have to keep an eye on them every day."

"We also need to manage the pastures and raise animals."

"I can't leave now; I have to stay on the grassland and keep an eye on it."

Jiang Feng sighed. Graduating and starting work is completely different from going to school.

Society can help a person mature quickly.

Hearing what the two people said, the others remained silent.

The silence was deafening.

If others heard this, they would think that these two rich kids had suffered a lot.

Ordinary graduates are in a much worse situation than them.

Jiang Feng brought a driver, who drove ahead.

Zhao Rou, being a girl, sat in the passenger seat.

Liu Hua went to sit in the back.

The two leadership positions in the middle naturally belong to Qi Yue and Jiang Feng.

They were both quite excited to see each other again.

The main reason is that we have similar experiences, and we are both doing well.

He achieved success at a young age.

That would give us even more topics to talk about.

"Your scenic area is really popular. I'd like to go, but the grassland is inconvenient to get to, and it takes several days to get there."

"This is the busiest time for my pasture, when we need to cut grass."

"I have time in winter, but your park is closed."

"It's really not easy to go and see it."

Jiang Feng sighed.

"Message me when you have time, I'll come anytime."

The two chatted about gossip from their university days.

Neither of them are particularly gossipy, but they do know some things.

For example, who graduated and went where, who broke up with whom, and who got married to whom.

Once we started chatting, it was as if all the joy of our student days had returned, and my mind was filled with stories of my youth.

It feels pretty good.

Although they had both graduated less than three years ago.

The vehicle continued forward.

It's quite a long journey.

The grassland was bigger than I had imagined.

Looking out the window, all I could see was lush green grassland stretching as far as the eye could see.

The wind blew, creating waves on the grassland and outlining the shape of the wind.

Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area also has a grassland called Qingqing Grassland.

However, his grasslands are indeed much smaller than this one.

The grasslands here stretch out in rolling hills, seemingly without end.

In the distance, you can see many cattle and sheep grazing on the hillside, in large herds, densely packed together.

It was my first time visiting the grasslands, and I was still awestruck by what I saw.

It takes about three and a half hours to drive there.

It's quite far.

Zhao Rou fell asleep in the car.

Qi Yue and Jiang Feng had a pleasant conversation.

When they talked about Jiang Feng, Qi Yue learned that the rancher had a girlfriend, and both families were satisfied with her; they were preparing to get married.

She is the daughter of a rancher from Hulunbuir. She is very beautiful and has a great personality.

Qi Yue laughed and said:

"You're doing well, getting married so early. You're very reliable."

Jiang Feng nodded. "There's not much to do on the grasslands, so it's better to settle down and start a family sooner rather than later."

"Isn't that the same for you?"

He gestured in Zhao Rou's direction, gave a thumbs-up, and praised Qi Yue for his good taste.

Qi Yue smiled but didn't say anything.

Following this route, passing Guancao Avenue, the car finally entered Jiangfeng's ranch.

The ranch is surrounded by green iron fences, preventing the animals from entering.

The pasture is relatively enclosed, and the cattle and sheep graze freely when the weather is good.

The car stopped, and everyone got out.

Qi Yue swayed his waist and stretched his arms a few times.

After sitting for three hours, I was quite tired.

Zhao Rou woke up groggily and looked at Jiang Feng's meadow.

This place is very beautiful.

The grass will be even more lush than you imagine.

In one large area, the grass was already waist-high.

Those are specially grown haystacks, meant to be shredded and kept to feed cattle and sheep in the winter.

A refreshing breeze made Zhao Rou much more awake.

At this moment, two Border Collies, a white dog, and a burly Mastiff ran out and fawned over Jiang Feng.

Qi Yue looked over and immediately took a liking to it.

Especially the white dog, which was robust and exceptionally majestic.

Qi Yue glanced at it briefly, sensed something was wrong, and asked:
"Is that a wolf?"

"You can raise wolves?"

As he said this, Qi Yue's eyes held a hint of envy.

"I found them when they were little and let them roam freely here. I've reported it to the police, and as long as they don't hurt anyone, it's fine."

Jiang Feng replied with a smile.

"That's great. It's not the same where I am. It's full of tourists, and animals that are a little dangerous can't be allowed to roam freely. They have to be kept in the park."

Qi Yue looked at the white wolf and really liked it.

And these two Border Collies too.

Dogs are quite cute.

There's plenty of space, so it's good to raise more.
