Then, Naoki called Kuailong, the second person in the ranch who knew electric-type moves.
Kuailong looked at the generator in front of him with bright eyes.
Did Naoki specially prepare this machine to help it practice electric-type moves? Kuailong couldn't help but think.
Just like it keeps practicing praying for rain in the farmland and practicing storms in the sky.
If it keeps using electric-type moves against this machine, then...
Naoki on the side was explaining how to use the generator to Kuailong, but suddenly he noticed something was wrong with the way Kuailong looked at the generator.
"……what's on your mind?"
At this moment, Kuailong has completely regarded the generator as a tool for practicing electric-type moves.
It hugged Naoki happily.
"Ouch!"
Naoki is so nice!
I used watering and milking to help it practice praying for rain and praying for storms. Because it uses praying for rain and storms every day, it has become more and more proficient in these two moves.
Now I'm starting to help it practice electric-type moves, and it will definitely work hard!
Naoki was hugged and his head was full of questions.
I always feel that Kuailong seems to have misunderstood something...
Kuailong has already begun to deliver power to the generator.
Because it was much larger than Xiao Bu Bo, it couldn't stand on the generator, so I put my plump paws on it.
Then, sizzling electricity surged out of Kuailong's fist and was completely absorbed by the generator.
Zhi Shu turned around and saw that the energy storage bar on the generator was slowly rising.
1%…3%…4%…12%…23%…37%…
It finally settled at 48%.
Looking at this scene, Xiao Bu Bo's eyes showed admiration.
"Bamo!" So awesome!
But Kuailong has reached his limit.
The electricity on its body was drained, and it could no longer use an electric-type move.
If we use game terminology, the pp value (number of moves used) is gone.
"That's enough, you've done a great job!"
Naoki returned to the front room with Bubo and Kuailong, and took out two bottles of ice-cold honey lemonade from the refrigerator.
This is a drink he made before. The effect is that after drinking it, it can eliminate fatigue and restore energy.
Kuailong took Bu Bo and sat on the grass outside the door, blowing the wind leisurely while drinking honey lemonade.
After placing the two Pokémon, Naoki returned to the utility room, took out tools and wood, and used the workbench there to make a hop stand.
Summer is coming soon, and the seeds of the summer crops he purchased earlier can be planted.
Crops like corn don't need supports to grow, but hops still do.
They will start to grow along the scaffolding set up by the rancher. Because of the scaffolding, sunlight can shine on each of its leaves, and then the hops used for brewing will grow.
Of course, if you want to brew a bottle of beer, hops alone are not enough. You also need water, malt and yeast.
There is it in Qingshui Ranch, and the yeast can be bought in town.
He also has a lot of malt stored in his pasture, which he grew himself in the past two months.
The spring wheat was not sold after harvest, but kept by him.
Finally, the hops and a series of materials are put into the brewing barrel and stored in the cellar. It takes about a month for the brewing to be completed.
Naoki wanted to know what magical effects the beer he brewed would have.
The only thing he regrets is that the brewing process has certain requirements on the environment and temperature.
If it weren't for the fact that the wine barrels had to be stored in a cellar with a low temperature and a cool environment, he would even want to spread the wine barrels all over the mountains and plains.
There is no cellar in the ranch yet, but Naoki is not worried. The hops and barley can be harvested first, and brewing can be started after there is a cellar.
At the current profit rate of the ranch, he will be able to save the 2 million needed to expand his residence by mid-autumn at the latest.
Since he couldn't grow crops in the winter, he could use that time to focus on winemaking.
Time passed by minute by second, and when the sun was shining brightly, the brackets were completed one by one.
Naoki directed Gullton and Motorized Lizard to move them to the front, and the sun had fully risen at this time.
Under the eaves, Kuailong and Bubo lay down on the spot after drinking honey lemonade. Their upper bodies were lying in the shade, while their lower bodies were left outside in the sunlight.
At this time, the two Pokémon were sleeping soundly and looked very comfortable.
Naoki looked at that scene with a smile, but at this moment, the motorcycle lizard on the side suddenly screamed.
Naoki followed its gaze and saw Ice Eevee running out of the ice cave at some point.
She is staying in the sheep pen with Frost Milk Fairy, Salt Stone Treasure, Mini Fu, and Bad Butterfly.
The three goats seemed to have finished jumping around and were lying lazily in the shade, chewing grass dumplings and watching them.
And Miu Fu dozed off next to her goat.
Seeing this scene, Naoki couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Did Ice Eevee integrate into the ranch so quickly?
He saw the Frost Milk Fairy holding a frozen wild flower in her hand, and the five Salt Stone Treasures were looking pitifully at the Ice Eevee. In front of them, there were also several small flowers.
Ice Eevee: "..."
Just when Naoki thought it wouldn't give him the Salt Stone Treasure Ice Flowers, Ice Eevee, who had been silent for a long time, blew a blast of freezing wind at the flowers.
The Salt Stone Treasures were extremely happy, and the Frost Milk Fairy also happily sent the ice flowers in her hands to Bing Yibu.
"Mama~"
Naoki didn't understand, but Gu Ledun did.
The Frost Milk Fairy said to Ice Eevee: "Okay, if you freeze it, it won't break! Put it where you sleep, so you can see it when you open your eyes every day~"
Frost Milk Fairy learned this from Naoki. It saw Naoki put things in the refrigerator and said that it would prevent the food from spoiling.
Hearing this, Bingyibu was slightly startled.
It did not realize that the Frost Milk Fairy asked it to help freeze the flowers in order to give it to it.
Seeing Frost Milk Fairy's actions, the other five Salt Stone Treasures also followed suit and gave flowers to Ice Eevee.
Minifu and Badahu also looked at this scene quite happily, and they also hoped that Bingyibu would accept it.
Although Naoki didn't know what was going on, seeing how harmoniously they got along, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"Okay, we have to start working!" Naoki said with a smile.
"Ah gah~"
"Gah~"
Motorized Lizard and Gu Ledun responded, and then the three of them began to get involved in the process of building the scaffold.
Today is March 15th. Although summer is still half a month away, some summer crops can be planted.
So, Naoki will be very busy today.
In addition to building the scaffolding for the hops to grow on, the land will need to be plowed again so that once the spring racing is over, he can start planting summer crops.
Like pumpkin, corn, pineapple and so on.
Pumpkin can be used to make pumpkin pie and pumpkin porridge.
Corn can be cooked directly, or used to make popcorn and corn soup, or used to cook ribs.
Pineapple can be used to make pineapple sourdough and pineapple rice.
When these crops grow, he can make more delicious food!
