Finally, Naoki returned to the ranch carrying a basket of wild ginger, apricots, and mountain mushrooms.
Apricots were found by Bada Butterfly. There were a lot of them growing on that tree. Naoki only picked a few to taste them, and left the rest to the wild Pokémon in the forest.
As for mountain mushrooms, they are almost everywhere on the back mountain and you can easily find a lot of them.
There were too many things, and it was a bit laborious for Naoki.
Seeing this, Guluton and other Pokémon playing in the pasture quickly came forward to catch Naoki's basket of mountain goods.
Naoki smiled and said, "I'll make delicious food for you at noon today!"
Therefore, Luton helped it take off the basket. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Ah, geez?"
"Chicken stewed with mushrooms, have you ever heard of it?" Naoki asked.
"Ah gah!" Gu Ledun's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, looking like he was starving to death.
"Yeah? Where did you hear about it?" Zhi Shu was a little surprised. Although there are many Chinese restaurants in the Padia area, Gu Luton had been at the Padia Pit before.
Could it be that Dr. Olin and Dr. Fotu did it?
Unable to figure it out, Nao Shuquan assumed that Guluton was talking nonsense, so he didn't think much about it.
He asked Gu Ledun to help carry the basket to the kitchen, and he would wash the vegetables later.
So Luton did it obediently.
The cloth dog on the side couldn't help showing a sad expression on his face when he heard that Naoki wanted to use the chickens he took care of to make food.
"Bamo..."
Seeing Butubo's expression, Naoki was slightly startled, and then understood what he was thinking.
Naoki asked: "Are you worried that I will use the hens in the chicken hut to cook?"
"Bamo..." Bu Tubo nodded.
The motorcycle lizard on the side was a little puzzled: "Gah?"
In its mind, hens are edible.
Naoki smiled and explained to all the Pokémon: "Buddha lives with hens every day, so he can't bear to see them being eaten. This is normal."
The motorcycle lizard nodded with a cute look on his face: "Gah aw..."
In order not to leave a psychological shadow on the child, Naoki thought for a while and then asked:
"Don't worry, I keep these hens to lay eggs. You should know that Kuailong can eat a hundred eggs every day."
"Ouch!" Kuailong quickly defended himself, it didn't eat so many eggs! What it likes most is fish!
Naoki explained to him carefully: "Chicken cakes are also made of eggs. You can eat two baskets every day. There are also fried eggs in sandwiches. I usually put egg sauce in my cooking, and eggs are used in these. "
Kuailong thought about it carefully and realized that he really seemed to be able to eat a hundred eggs?
It scratched its head sheepishly.
Seeing that Butubo was relieved, Zhi Shu asked again: "What if I buy other chickens?"
Butubo thought seriously for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Bamo!"
"Good boy." Naoki rubbed its head, then went into the house to get his wallet, rode a motorcycle lizard, and said to all the Pokémon: "I'm going to town to buy an old hen, and I'll be back soon. .”
Hearing this, all the Pokémon waited at home obediently.
It's almost noon, and almost all the vendors in the market in Zhiqin Town have closed their stalls and gone home for dinner.
Zhi Shu shopped around for several times before he found a meat shop that had not yet opened its stall and bought a freshly slaughtered three-yellow chicken.
This kind of chicken is firm in texture and has a mellow and rich flavor. When cooked, the soup is tender and the meat is tender. Combined with the aroma of mountain mushrooms, it is perfect.
After paying the money, Zhi Shu thought that there were too many Pokémon in the ranch, and one Pokémon might not be enough to eat, so he bought a few more Pokémon and bought two casseroles on the way.
After returning to the ranch, let the Motorized Lizard go outside to play and he began to prepare lunch.
Although I plan to make chicken stewed with mountain mushrooms, it takes a long time to prepare it. It has to be simmered for four hours before it is ready.
So Naoki prepared lunch as usual today, including rice, tomatoes and eggs, fried steak, sandwiches, tree juice, and moo milk.
After finishing lunch, Naoki started to process the ingredients, then put them into a casserole and started to simmer.
Several Pokémon looked at the stove eagerly.
Seeing how greedy they were, Naoki suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. He waved his hand and said: "You guys go out to play. It will take a long time to cook. You can eat it for dinner."
All Pokémon could only give up.
They had better listen to Gu Lerton saying how delicious this food is, otherwise they wouldn't be as greedy as they are now.
But Naoki said it would take a long time before it was ready, so they left the house and went to play on the grass outside.
Naoki was reading in the room. He took a moment to take a look and saw Gu Ledun running to the river with Motor Lizard and Kuailong.
The soil washed by the river was very soft, and the ducks jumped around, resulting in several mud pits.
Zhi Shu was afraid that they would dirty his body, so he shouted from a distance: "Don't roll in the mud! So Leton, take the Motorized Lizards to play on the grass!"
Therefore, Luton heard Zhi Shu's voice from far away, and suddenly looked at the mud pit not far away with some disgust.
It responded loudly: "Ah gah!"
It won't wallow in the mud! It didn't even hit the mud puddle!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Luton saw the Motorized Lizard stepping on the mud puddle and running to the river, leaning down and taking a sip of water.
Gu Luton: "..."
It immediately pulled the motorcycle lizard aside to a clean grassland.
I made a deal with the tree fruit I found out from nowhere with the Kodak Duck on the opposite side.
Soon, a Kodak ran forward and used a water gun on the Motorized Lizard to wash away the mud on it.
Therefore, Leton was satisfied. As long as Zhi Shu didn't see it, it had never rolled in the mud.
"Ouch..."
Kuailong on the side looked at this scene and thought that Gullerton was pretty good to the Motorized Lizard! He even used tree fruits to let the duck wash his body.
So Luton gave the fruit to the duck.
The duck screamed happily and ran away holding the fruit.
Gu Ledun looked at the Kodak Duck opposite, and suddenly thought of what happened in the near future.
When the crops in the field matured, this group of ducks were attracted and went to steal the crops to eat. Then they were discovered by Naoki and brought them into the pasture.
Since then, this group of ducks have worked as harvesters in the pasture.
They will pick all the fruits when the crops are ripe and put them into large baskets prepared by Zhi Shu. Some will be sold, and some will be kept to make delicious food for them.
Since it's a companion, it doesn't matter!
Therefore, Luton took the Motorized Lizard and Kuailong back to the grass in front, and then guided the Motorized Lizard and Kuailong like an adult.
Naoki, who was reading a book, took a moment to take a look and saw that they were getting along harmoniously, so he continued reading.
This book was given to him by Mayor Thomas. It contains a lot of knowledge about ranching. Zhi Shu would take it out and read it when he was free.
ps: I saw in the last chapter that a reader said that the trainer coming to challenge would disturb the protagonist's leisurely life.
Don't worry about this. The proportion of the plot of that kind of thing is very small. There will only be two or three chapters out of 50 chapters, which is 200,000 words to 6,000 words.
And the protagonist will improve the rules later. For example, no challenges are allowed until x number of badges have been collected. The number of trainers will not be that large, and there will not be dozens or hundreds of challengers a day.
As for why I wrote it, it was because I had to use this line to introduce some characters and plots. Another point is that simple stories about ranching are easy to fail, and many people like to watch plots where saints are revealed in front of others. This is also a refreshing point. There is no other way. If you just write about ranching, you will soon have nothing to write about. , and it’s not pleasant to read, because the most important thing about an online article is that it should be enjoyable. If this kind of daily writing is enjoyable, the results will be better.
