Chapter 38 Efforts and Gains

 At eleven o’clock in the night, Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun returned to the pasture after a busy day.

Even late at night, the pasture is still brightly lit.

　　After returning from Daguo Lake that day, Zhi Shu began to study the stone paths in the pasture.

 But without professional machinery, he had no way to polish the stone into the shape of a slab. In the end, he had to resort to using wooden boards to lay a road in the pasture.

They have been busy until late at night these days. In order to provide lighting, Naoki made torches out of wooden sticks and oil-soaked cloth and inserted them on both sides of the wooden path.

Once it gets dark, just light a torch and you can illuminate a large area.

 Under the light of the fire, the entire ranch looked lively.

 It was too late, and the Motorized Lizard who was waiting for Naoki to come home was already lying under the eaves and fell asleep.

Zhi Shu did not wake it up, but worked with Gu Ledun to dump the fish in the fishing net into the small lake in the pasture.

 Without a car, the way they catch fish is very troublesome.

Zhishu spreads bait on the lake in advance. After a while, nearby fish will gather here.

Then it is handed over to Gulton, who fishes in this water area, and Zhishu fishes in another water area. Until the fishing net is full, they will airlift the fish full of fish back to the ranch.

 Finally dump the fish into the lake and wait for Zach to come and collect the goods in the evening of the next day.

As long as Guluton’s speed is the fastest, he can send the group of fish to the lake before they suffocate.

Of course, there are not no dead fish. These fish are often used by Naoki to make dishes to reward Guluton.

For convenience, they laid a layer of extrlarge fishing nets at the bottom of the lake in advance.

In this way, when Zach comes to receive the goods, he can catch all the fish in the lake by holding the four corners of the fishing net.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to facilitate the loading of fish, several carp kings that Naoki had thrown in there were put back into the river by him.

“Thanks for your hard work!”

Zhi Shu lifted up the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat from his face, and said to Gu Ledun beside him with a smile.

Huluton also wiped the sweat on his face with his big paw: “Gahsh~”

Zhi Shu looked around and saw that it was getting late, so he added, “Let’s stop here today!”

They returned to the wooden house. Naoki woke up the Motorized Lizard and let it go in to sleep, while he went to the kitchen area to prepare some midnight snacks.

 The noise they made woke up Mini Fu and Frost Milk Fairy. The two little guys opened their eyes and looked over.

 So Naoki had to make two more servings.

 The happy supper time is over, and Mini Fu and Frosty Milk Fairy go to sleep.

Huluton was tired today and no longer wanted to be jealous of the motorcycle lizard. He returned to his seat, yawned and fell asleep with his paws on his pillow.

 The Motorized Lizard stood next to Naoki.

Zoki took off his dirty blue work clothes and only wore a thin white short-sleeved shirt.

Seeing the Motorized Lizard’s appearance, he reached out and touched its head and said, “It will be fine after this period of time. Nothing major happened in the pasture today, right?”

The Motorized Lizard has been working hard to look after the house recently. When he heard this, he shook his head and said: “Gah!”

“That’s good.” Naoki smiled and said, “You did a good job, I should thank you.”

 Zhi Shu patted it on the shoulder again, “Okay, it’s getting late, go to bed quickly, I’ll go to bed after I finish accounting!”

Motor Lizard went to sleep obediently. Naoki took out his account book and wrote down today’s income.

These past few days, the ranch’s main source of income mainly relies on the fish they catch from Cauldron Lake and the Hypadian Sea.

Zhi Shu did not sell the eggs laid by the hens, but instead made them into steamed eggs, boiled eggs, fried eggs, and fried eggs to reward a few Pokémon.

 Excluding the cost of buying bait and fishing nets, they made a total of 43,320 alliance coins in the past five days.

 After selling the fish in the lake tomorrow and adding the remaining money, his savings will exceed 50,000 alliance coins.

Although he has been very tired these past few days, when he saw a drawer full of money, Naoki suddenly felt full of motivation.

Working day and night made his body stronger, his muscle outlines clearer, and his skin tanned a lot, making him look more and more like a real rancher.

 “That’s right, I can take a good rest now!”

 Zhi Shu stretched out relaxedly, leaned back on the chair and thought about what he had to do tomorrow.

With money, he planned to go to the town to find Keri to build the salt house first. Although he didn’t know whether the salt gems would be willing to come to the ranch, there was no problem in preparing in advance.

In addition, you also need to buy a few more Poké Balls, so that while Cree is building the Salt House, you can go to Cauldron Lake to see if you can capture the Mount Lamb, Mount Goat, and Tropical Dragon.

By the time these things are finished, some of the first batch of crops planted should be mature.

 After harvesting, the land must be plowed again to plant the next batch of seeds.

With these thoughts in his mind, Naoki raised his head and glanced at the old-fashioned pendulum on the wall, and suddenly realized that it was almost one o’clock in the morning.

 Naoki: “…”

sleep!

 Early the next morning, Naoki first went to the friendly store in the town and bought ten Poké Balls.

Although it cost 2,000 League Coins, Naoki believed that the Pokémon recovered with them would be able to create a value far exceeding 2,000.

 After leaving the shop, he went to Keri’s carpentry shop and to the forest hut on the edge of the town.

Kerri was wearing a light blue overalls and was chopping wood with an axe.

Seeing Naoki coming over, she raised her eyebrows slightly: “I’ve heard what Zach said about you these days. He said that you and Gulton caught a lot of fish and sold them for a lot of money. You worked really hard! “

Zhi Shu smiled: “After all, there are so many Pokémon waiting for me to raise in the pasture. I can’t do it without working hard!”

Keli looked up and down at the young man in front of her.

 Compared to the first time we met, his body has obviously become much stronger, his skin has also been tanned, and he looks healthier.

Keli praised: “Not bad, he looks more and more like a real rancher! You haven’t met the ranchers from other ranches nearby, right?”

 Zhi Shu shook his head: “I haven’t had time to visit yet. What happened to them?”

Keli smiled and said: “Each of them is a big guy. Years of farm work have made them very strong. I feel like you will become like that one day.”

 Zhi Shu shrugged indifferently.

 He has never cared much about his appearance.

 After a brief exchange of greetings, Keri got down to business: “What do you want me to build this time?”

 “Salt House.” Zhishu said.

  Calculating carefully, raising salt stone treasures, collecting rock salt and selling it is one of the most profitable ways to make money.

 So, he built the salt house at the front.
