A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 22 Little Cow: Is this paradise?!
Even while the scenic area was under construction, the news on the internet remained lively.

Especially the black and white rabbits.

Netizens jokingly call it "the agile rabbit".

Rabbits are very popular right now.

Many people are paying attention to Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area because of these two rabbits.

Every day, someone in the comments section asks:

"Boss, when will the rabbit-catching event be held again?"

"Can I go see the two rabbits?"

Qi Yue never expected that the rabbit-catching activity would have such an impact.

They've even become a promotional tool for the scenic area!

In response, Qi Yue often said:
"The rabbits roam freely in the scenic area and come out every day, so everyone can visit them at any time."

On weekends, some tourists do come specifically to see the rabbits.

That's quite unusual.

The four rabbits have quite a few fans!
Qi Yue's tourist farm was built quickly, but it was not large in scale. It was just a few fences and enclosures for animals to live in.

Buying animals is an expense, but I earned enough start-up capital from the system in the early stages.

Qi Yue decided to buy animals including calves, lambs, deer, capibalas, and miniature horses.

It has to be cute, preferably the kind that never grows up.

Its main focus is on being a paradise for adorable pets.

In addition, the park hired two new zookeepers, both young men who love animals.

The animals are all being cared for.

That morning, Qi Yue drove straight to the dairy farm.

I'll buy two cows today.

Let's achieve milk freedom first.

Moreover, dairy cows are animals that are suitable for visiting; it's fine to let them roam freely on the grassland.

Upon arriving at the dairy farm, I saw that the farm manager looked rather worried.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that the dairy business was difficult to run and resulted in losses year after year.

Only large dairy companies can avoid losses. Generally, dairy farms produce a lot of milk, which is difficult to store and has nowhere to be consumed, making it easy to lose money.

“If you buy a few more, I’ll give you a discount. I used to buy dairy cows for 10,000 each. Now you can take them for 4000 each.”

The dairy farm manager promoted the product to Qi Yue.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue smiled and said:

"I don't want to buy big cows, but I can buy several calves to save money."

The price of calves is cheaper, since it's unknown when they will produce milk, and raising them also incurs costs.

"A calf is fine too, I'd be happy to buy it."

"I can't afford to raise them anymore."

"They're all in the cattle pen over there; you can go and pick one."

The farm manager and Qi Yue arrived at a pen where there were many calves, all waiting to be sold.

There are specific techniques for choosing cattle, and there are often significant differences between individual cattle.

For example, in this cattle farm, there are definitely a few cows that are "milk kings," producing several times more milk than the other cows.

Owning one of these dairy cows is like having a god of wealth.

Qi Yue glanced around and noticed two bulls inside.

If I buy this, I'll be at a loss.

Qi Yue strolled around and carefully selected four calves.

They were all rather thin and didn't look very robust.

There's no other way; the farm manager can barely afford to keep the dairy cows, so he has to cut back on feed.

Unlike Qi Yue, whose scenic area is now filled with dairy cow feed.

"Four heads, one thousand five hundred each, six thousand in total."

Even Qi Yue himself was surprised by the price.

Doing business is so difficult these days.

"Buy calves? These calves can produce milk for at least a year, so it's more cost-effective to buy adult cows."

The boss tried to persuade Qi Yue to spend more money.

"It's alright, calves have their advantages."

Qi Yue smiled but didn't explain further.

After buying the calf, he called a transport truck and took the calf back to the scenic area.

At this moment, the four calves were all a little uneasy and anxious.

Their eyes were numb.

They are kept in captivity in farms, where the environment is harsh for them.

So he lived a very repressed life from birth.

Perhaps he was only truly happy when he was initially following the cow. And so, Qi Yue drove back to the scenic area.

The transport truck arrived shortly afterward.

When the calves got off the truck and looked at the lush greenery around them, they were clearly stunned.

Looking left and right, I couldn't believe such a place existed.

After all, these are dairy cows born and raised on farms, living only in factory buildings and eating feed from troughs.

Now, suddenly being in a scenic area, I feel like my soul has been greatly impacted.

Little cow: "Is this paradise?"

At this moment, Li Yu, the employee in charge of breeding, was already waiting at the farm.

"Boss, these must be the cows we bought."

"They're all baby cows."

Li Yu looked at the calf and asked.

Qi Yue nodded. "Yes, the calves are more approachable and fit the theme of the petting zoo."

"Moreover, the dairy cows raised here will produce more milk in the future."

Hearing Qi Yue's words, Li Yu agreed, "Indeed, the growth of dairy cows depends not only on nutrition, but also on their mood."

"Our place is so big, it's more than enough to raise a few dairy cows. They'll definitely grow up well."

After settling the cows in, Qi Yue said:
"As I said before, we'll fence off a large area and let the animals roam freely."

"Get regular checkups and seek timely treatment if any problems arise."

"Free-range farming fits the theme here better."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu replied, "No problem."

The animals on the farm are free-range, which means that a certain area is fenced off and the animals are allowed to roam freely.

The calves paced back and forth, their feet treading on the soft grass, their spirits gradually rising.

They lowered their heads and tasted a mouthful of grass.

The sweet grass juice tastes so much better than animal feed.

These guys will be living here from now on.

Besides the calf, Qi Yue also bought several adorable lambs and a few pet pigs.

These are all free-range.

And the price is not expensive.

Just keep it.

Soon, the adorable petting zoo opened.

The railings are full of cute creatures.

They are all calves, lambs, and piglets.

The scenic area also provides fresh cabbages, 5 yuan a serving, for people to feed.

This park is mainly designed for family outings.

Kids love this kind of play mode, and adults also like to bring their kids to play.

At least we need to attract this group of customers first, so that the scenic area can do better business.

Qi Yue also has plans to purchase Kapibala, alpacas, and sika deer.

He plans to take it one step at a time.

It's another weekend, and this time, many tourists have come to the scenic area. Some come to see the rabbits, some come to climb the mountain, and many others are looking out for any new activities.

Believe it or not, the last rabbit incident actually attracted quite a few customers.

"What's been built over there? The scenic area seems a bit more bustling now!"

"A new area has been developed?"

"I knew such a large scenic area couldn't just remain barren forever!"

"Go, have a look."

Once visitors enter the scenic area, their attention is immediately drawn to the petting zoo.

Upon entering, you'll see a fenced-off area where many adorable calves, lambs, and piglets are playing.

The four rabbits are here too.

"It's a black and white rabbit!"

"Wow, two pairs of black and white rabbits!"

"Those guys? You can't even catch the ones from the sports school? I can catch them every time!"

"Arrest them all!"

Many tourists who have seen the video of the black and white rabbits dodging each other are particularly eager to catch the rabbits themselves.

They immediately rushed towards the rabbit with great enthusiasm.

The rabbit, which was grazing, calmly twitched its nose when it saw the tourists running towards it.

For them, playing with these tourists is as easy as eating grass.

It's simply impossible to catch them.
