Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 119

Chapter 119 A leisurely day

 Then, Naoki called Kuailong, the second person in the ranch who knew electric-type moves.

Kailong 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 is constantly practicing praying for rain in the farmland and practicing storms in the sky.

If it keeps using electric-type moves against this machine, then...

Zhi Shu 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 used the generator as a tool for practicing electric-type moves.

It hugged Naoki happily.

 “Ouch!”

 Naoki is so nice!

 Previously, I used watering and milking to help it practice praying for rain and storm. Because it uses praying for rain and storm every day, its proficiency in these two moves is getting higher and higher.

Now I'm starting to help it practice electric-type moves, and it will definitely work hard!

 The hugged Naoki had questions all over his head.

It always feels like Kuailong seems to have misunderstood something...

 And 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 its plump paws on it.

 Then, a sizzling electric current surged out from 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 rising slowly.

  1%…3%…4%…12%…23%…37%…

  Finally settled at 48%.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Bubo's eyes showed admiration.

 “Bamo!” So ​​awesome!

 But Kuailong has reached his limit.

The electricity on it has been drained, and it can no longer use an electric-type move.

  To use game terminology, the pp value (number of moves used) is gone.

 “That's it, you've done a great job!”

Zhi Shu took Bu Bo and Kuailong back to the front room 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 sat on the grass outside the door with Bu Bo, blowing the wind leisurely and drinking honey lemonade.

After placing the two Pokémon, Zhi Shu 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 need them.

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 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 was 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.

Zhi Shu wanted to know what kind of magical effect the beer he brewed would have.

The only thing he regrets is that the wine-making 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 lower 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 pasture 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 concentrate on making wine.

 Time passed by minute by minute, and when the sun was shining, the brackets were completed one by one.

Zhi Shu directed Guluton and Motorized Lizard to move them to the front. At this time, the sun had fully risen.

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.

Zhi Shu looked at that scene with a smile, but at this moment, the motorcycle lizard on the side suddenly screamed.

Zhi Shu followed its gaze and saw Ice Eevee running out of the ice cave at some point.

 Staying in the sheepfold with Frost Milk Fairy, Salt Shibao, Mini Fu, and Bad Butterfly.

The three goats seem to have finished jumping around and are lying lazily in the shade, chewing grass dumplings and looking at them.

And Mifu dozed off next to her goat.

Seeing this scene, Naoki couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Has Ice Eevee integrated into the pasture so quickly?

He saw the Frost Milk Fairy holding a frozen wild flower in her hand, while the five Salt Stone Treasures were looking at the Ice Eevee pitifully. In front of them, there were also several small flowers.

Bing Eevee: “…”

Just when Naoki thought he wouldn't give 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 very happy, and the Frost Milk Fairy also happily sent the ice flowers in her hands to the Ice Eevee.

 “Mama~”

Zhi Shu couldn't understand, but Gu Luton did.

Frost Milk Fairy said to Ice Eevee: "Okay, if you freeze it, it won't spoil! Put it where you sleep, so that you can see it when you open your eyes every day~"

This is what Frost Milk Fairy learned from Naoki. It saw Naoki put things in the refrigerator and said that this way the food would not spoil.

Hearing this, Bingyibu was slightly startled.

It did not expect that the Frost Milk Fairy asked it to help freeze the flowers in order to give it to it.

The other five Salt Stone Treasures saw the Frost Milk Fairy's actions, and they all 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 gahis~”

Motor 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, he also has to plow the land again so that when 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 cakes 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 sweetened pork and pineapple rice.

 When these crops grow, he can make more delicious food!
