In the evening, Zach came to the ranch to receive the goods.
Naoki brought out goat milk, rock salt, and a few small mushrooms growing in the cave.
"Hey! Today's harvest is very rich!" Zach opened his eyes wide: "It seems that your ranch is finally back on track."
Naoki raised the corner of his mouth, looked at the Motorized Lizard and Gullton not far away, and said with emotion: "Yes, this is thanks to everyone's joint efforts!"
"That's how it should be!" Zach sighed: "Oh, not many young people nowadays are willing to stay in the countryside to run ranches and become farmers."
Unlike before, being a trainer is popular now.
Almost every child wants to collect their own Pokémon, travel with them around the world, compete in competitions, and become the strongest Pokémon trainer.
"The nearby farms and ranches are all run by older people, and you are the only young man." Zach said.
Naoki nodded thoughtfully.
If calculated according to the animation timeline, this time point is just when Xiaozhi has just left home.
Although the profession of trainer has not yet reached the peak of development in "Pokémon Journey", it has gradually become popular all over the world.
"Okay, a total of five kilograms of rock salt, six liters of goat's milk, six small mushrooms, um, a total of thirty-two thousand three hundred alliance coins."
Zach handed over the money, then returned to the truck and said goodbye to Naoki: "I'm leaving, and I have to work overtime to deliver these goods to Zhiqin Market."
Zach left.
Naoki returned to the wooden house, took out his account book and recorded today's income and expenditure.
Year spring, month day.
Income: rock salt, goat milk, small mushrooms
Expenditure: Fruit-, Food-, Fertilizer-
Remaining funds:
"Thirty-three thousand..." Looking at the numbers on the account book, Naoki fell into deep thought.
He had specifically asked Kelly before.
The price of building a house with a kitchen, bathroom, living room, dining room, study room, bedroom, and cellar is very exaggerated.
Including furniture, this complete set will probably cost no less than 10,000 yuan.
Keli showed him the design drawing. It was a two-story villa with complete facilities. Zhi Shu was very satisfied with it, but the price was too expensive and he couldn't afford it now.
Chicken huts, Pokémon huts and the like are just small things, but this kind of villa is the big deal.
Alas, there is still a long way to go!
But fortunately, Keli also provided the addition of ordinary houses, which he could use for a temporary transition.
Naoki took a deep breath and at the same time set the villa as the ultimate goal in his mind.
Wait until tomorrow, the pace of time will officially enter February, and the crops in the farmland can begin to be harvested one after another.
Life is about to get busy again.
Naoki lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Naoki handed the goat milk to Kuailong and asked him to deliver milk to Mrs. Dantès.
Watching Kuailong go away, Zhi Shu also began to go about his daily work.
At this moment, a man suddenly rushed in on a motorcycle lizard outside the ranch.
It was a young man wearing blue overalls and a blue peaked cap. He had a brown fanny pack on his body.
The man and the Motorized Lizard stayed not far away, looked at Zhishu, and greeted politely: "Hello, may I ask, is this Zhishu Ranch?"
"Yes." Naoki was a little surprised: "You are"
The young man jumped off the motorcycle lizard. He looked very sunny and showed two small tiger teeth when he smiled.
The man introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Naoki, my name is Alvin. I am the postman in the town. I am responsible for sending letters and delivering things. There is a letter from you here. Please sign for it."
"Xin" Naoki was slightly startled.
Who would send him a letter? He doesn't know many people in this world, and the original owner doesn't have any concerns or friends.
Thinking like this, Naoki reached out and took the letter.
Opening the envelope and taking the letter out, Naoki lowered his head and looked at it.
[to Naoki Ranch:
Hello, Naoki! Not long ago, I heard from Mayor Thomas that you came to inherit this ranch. I am very happy to hear the news!
Spring is here, and it is the time when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. We will hold a cherry blossom wine party in the cherry orchard on the 1st of the month.
At that time, people in the town, trainers and farmers from nearby farms will gather here to taste the cherry wine brewed last year while admiring the flowers, exchange the specialties of their respective farms, and set up stalls to sell to the people who come to participate.
You can also bring the crops and specialties produced in your pasture, or the delicacies you make from them, and set up a stall to sell them.
Looking forward to seeing you here.
——by Erif Cherry Orchard]
Naoki raised his eyebrows, "The Cherry Blossom Wine Party...is it a local festival?"
It sounds quite interesting.
He nodded and said to Alvin: "Thank you very much, I understand."
The postman boy Ai Wen nodded: "Okay, then I'll take the first step, see you later!"
After that, he rode on the back of the motorcycle lizard and ran away quickly.
"Sure enough, motorcycle lizards are a means of transportation here!" Naoki couldn't help but think.
After a moment, he shook his head with a smile and continued to devote himself to the work of the ranch.
At the same time, in Zhiqin Town, Lanhai Street.
Kuailong came to the number as usual and knocked on the door lightly with his big fat paws.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door. Mrs. Dantès opened the door and saw Kuailong, with a kind and kind smile on her face.
"It's Kuailong!"
"Ouch"
Kuailong handed over the goat milk.
Mrs. Dantès reached out to take it. After paying the money, she said to Kuailong: "Please wait a moment, I have something I want you to help bring to Naoki."
"Ouch!" Kuailong was a little confused.
Mrs. Dantès turned around, took out a packaging bag and a letter from the room and handed it to Kuailong, smiling and saying:
"This is a cookie I made by myself. Take it back and give it to Naoki to taste!"
"Ouch!"
Kuailong nodded obediently, took the letter and biscuits, turned around and flew back to the ranch.
Mrs. Dantès watched its figure go away, then turned and returned to the room. When she saw her husband who looked much better, her expression was unprecedentedly relaxed: "How are you feeling today?"
The other party said: "I feel much better, and some of the strength in my body has returned."
Hearing this, Mrs. Dantès breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to Naoki's goat milk!"
————
"Mrs. Dantès gave it to me."
In the pasture, Zhishu was a little surprised when he saw the biscuits and a letter handed over by Kuailong.
"Ouch!" Kuailong nodded happily.
Naoki reached out to take it and opened the letter written by Madame Dantès.
The letter wrote that her husband's health was much better, and she was very grateful to Zhi Shu for the goat milk, and also sent some biscuits, and wished Zhi Shu good health and success in the ranch work.
