Chapter 76 Big Milk Tank

Carrying this bag of soil, Zhi Shu walked around the Ziqin Market again, wanting to see if he could buy anything suitable for other Pokémon in the ranch.

However, after shopping around, I couldn’t find anything similar.

In desperation, Naoki had no choice but to turn around and leave, continuing to his next destination—the seed shop in the town.

The owner of this shop wears a brown coat all year round. He is a middle-aged man with slightly curly brown hair and a slightly bloated body.

Seeing Naoki come in, he quickly recognized the rancher who had recently moved to the town, and greeted him cheerfully:

“Good morning, what kind of seeds do you want to buy when you come here today? Spring is almost over, and some spring crop seeds are on sale!”

Zhi Shu looked around and soon found a batch of newly arrived seeds on the shelf.

Perhaps to distinguish the planting season, this batch of seeds is packaged in summer-like dark green bags.

 Several people dressed as farmers were selecting there. It was obvious that he was not the only one preparing for the summer in advance.

“There is no need for the spring ones.” Naoki said, “I want to take a look at the summer seeds when I come here.”

As he spoke, he came to the shelf and began to select carefully.

 Compared to spring, there are many more types of crops in summer.

 For example, corn, wheat, hops, melon, pineapple, pumpkin, onion, sunflower.

There are also many more types of flowers, such as cornflowers, evening primroses, lavender, hyacinths, etc.

Zhi Shu looked at these crops and fell into deep thought.

 At present, his ranch focuses on animal husbandry, and his income mainly comes from rock salt goat milk and mushrooms in the cave behind. He does not make a living from farming.

 Hence, when purchasing crops, the first thing to consider is their practicality.

“Corn can be sold. In addition to selling it, you can also make boiled corn and popcorn, which are also two good snacks.”

“Wheat? After a while, you have to save enough money to build a mill. Once you have a mill, you can throw wheat and corn into it and process it into flour and animal feed.”

“Hops… Although there is currently no brewing cellar in the pasture, according to my plan, the new home will be built before winter comes at the latest. I don’t know if the hops harvested in the summer can be stored until autumn. If so, it can be used. Winemaking is made during the winter when crops cannot be grown.”

 As for melons, pineapples, pumpkins, etc., you can plant some. In addition to selling the crops, you can also use them to develop new dishes.

The same goes for sunflowers. In addition to beautifying the pasture, a sunflower field can also produce sunflower seeds that can be artificially fried into melon seeds, which can be eaten in your free time.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu bought a pack of each seed. When paying, the boss looked at the seeds and couldn’t help but said:

“Actually, you don’t have to buy every kind of seed. Having so many seeds is a very hard work for ranchers, and the planting method and maturity time of each seed are different. It will be very troublesome if you make a mistake.”

“You know, especially for a new rancher, it might be a better choice to start with crops that you like, and then you can memorize their growth habits before trying other crops.”

Hearing this, Naoki smiled and said: “Don’t worry, I have special notes for recording. In addition to selling these, they are more for me and the Pokémon in the pasture to eat.”

 “Okay.” After hearing this, the boss said nothing more.

 Leaving the seed shop, Zhi Shu went to Happy Ranch again.

 The old man was sitting behind the counter, wearing a pair of reading glasses on his face and reading a newspaper in his hand.

Hearing the sound of wind chimes, he looked up and saw Naoki walking in.

The old man smiled and said, “Is it Naoki? What Pokémon do you want to buy today?” “Is there any news about the ship that transported the big milk can?” Naoki asked.

 “Yes!”

 The old man nodded, thinking of the notification he received on the phone, he said with emotion:

“As expected, something happened to the freighter transporting the large milk cans. It encountered a terrible storm at sea, hit a rock and sank to the bottom of the sea while passing a small island.”

“Fortunately, the crew on the ship were well-trained, and they and the water-type Pokémon around them rescued the large milk can that fell into the water.”

“I heard from them that when they were lost on the sea, they were guided by a dragon, and with its help they successfully found their way back to land.”

 “Kailong?”

 Zhi Shu keenly captured the key words in the words.

The old man nodded and said with a smile: “It is indeed a very kind Pokémon! Thanks to its help, Big Milk Tank was able to get here. Just yesterday, they came to the pasture. Do you want to go and see it?”

Zhishu has only drank Moo milk and has never seen a real big milk jug.

So when he heard this, he couldn’t help but nodded curiously and agreed.

Upon seeing this, the old man stood up from behind the counter and led him through the small door at the back to the pasture behind the house where many Pokémon were raised.

　In a fertile grassland, Zhi Shu saw a group of large milk cans.

The real-life Big Milk Tank looks like a pink cow. The end of their tail is ball-shaped, and the black pattern on their head looks like they are wearing a black assassin’s hood.

 Their bodies look very strong and sturdy. Perhaps because of this, many trainers use large milk tanks for Pokémon battles.

 One of the most famous users of big milk jugs is none other than Xiao Qian, the owner of Manjin Gym.

　　It is said that her big milk tank once blocked countless challengers with one rolling move, becoming a nightmare for these trainers.

“This is the big milk can. Is this the first time you’ve seen them?” the old man asked with a smile.

You can also say that. Naoki nodded and said vaguely: “That’s right! I’ve only seen it on TV before.”

“Big milk tanks are mankind’s best companions. The milk they produce has nurtured generations of people. Whether they are people in the nearby Galar region or the distant Kanto region, they have grown up drinking their milk. of.”

 The old man paused and asked, “Have you heard of Xiao Qian?”

“Huh?” Naoki was a little surprised. He didn’t expect to hear Xiaoqian’s name here: “Xiaoqian?”

“That’s right.” The old man nodded: “She is a very famous big milk tank trainer. The milk squeezed out of her big milk tank is rated as the best moo milk, which is very powerful!”

 The finest moo milk…

 This quality should be almost the same as the quality of fresh milk fortified with [Milk Porridge].

 Being able to cultivate the big milk tank to this extent, I have to say that Xiao Qian has good skills.

 Zhi Shu admired him from the bottom of his heart.

“Okay.” The old man asked, “How many do you want to come?”
