Chapter 25: The Ranch Grows Lively
In the chicken hut, Naoki puts feed into the feeding tank.
The smell of three hens and a rooster staggered to the feeding trough and began to eat.
"Looks like they're getting used to it!" The girl behind her looked at this scene with a smile on her face: "In that case, then Mr. Naoki, I will go first, if there is anything, you can call the store, our phone number is 9573868." ”
Naoki: "...... I haven't had time to buy a phone yet. ”
The girl was stunned, as if she didn't expect this: "Huh? ”
Naoki smiled and asked, "It's okay to go directly to the store and ask, right?" ”
The girl nodded hurriedly: "Of course!" ”
After explaining what needed attention, the girl put on her straw hat and rode out of the ranch on the small tricycle.
Naoki stood in the chicken hut and looked at the chickens.
Although hens can lay their own eggs without relying on a rooster, these eggs are non-fertilized eggs and cannot hatch.
Only eggs laid after mating with a rooster can hatch chicks.
This is also the reason why Naoki specifically buys a rooster.
All three hens are healthy adult hens that are already able to lay eggs.
This means that from tomorrow onwards, he will be able to get at least three eggs a day.
"Well, one egg doesn't sell for much money, so the most suitable method is to use all three eggs to hatch the eggs." Naoki meditated in his heart.
In this way, when the crops outside are ripe, there will be three more small lives in the pasture.
The newly built chicken hut looked a little messy, and Naoki picked up a pitchfork and shoveled the hay stacked by the door into the corner.
After completing this work, Naoki couldn't help but glance down at his current outfit.
Wearing brown bib pants and a pitchfork on his shoulders, he really looks like a farmer with a local flavor.
Putting down the pitchfork, Naoki walked out of the chicken hutch, and in order to prevent the hens from running around, he closed the door before leaving.
On the way back to the wooden house, Naoki thought to himself while thinking back to what the girl had just said, "In addition to Pokémon and crops, the basic facilities in the ranch also need to be completed. ”
Like telephones, televisions, phonographs, computers, and so on.
The phone allows him to connect with the people in town.
Television can help him stay up to date with news and information outside of the ranch.
The gramophone can also be used to cultivate sentiments, and playing a serenade when you can't go out to work on a rainy day can be considered a good form of entertainment.
As for computers......
It can help Naoki query the information he needs more quickly, and it can also allow him to communicate with netizens in Guandu, Joto, Hoen, Alola and other regions.
But from the memory of the original owner, it can be known that the price of these things is not cheap, and he needs to solve the problem of food and clothing for himself and a few Pokémon more than building entertainment facilities.
In any case, for a better tomorrow, rush!
Naoki's heart is full of fighting spirit.
In front of the cabin, Loton and the motorcycle lizard had returned.
Opposite them, Frost Fairy and Mini Fu trembled with fear.
Seeing Naoki, the two little guys immediately hid behind him, holding his left and right calves respectively, and only half of their heads were exposed to observe Gu Leton's movements.
Naoki: "......"
So Leton looked dazed: "Quack? ”
It turns out that they are afraid of it?
But what's so scary about it?
So Pullon looked down at his body, and then at the obedient motorcycle lizard next to him, and thought: Isn't it just that his appearance has changed a little......
Naoki squatted down and patted Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu's heads, and said soothingly, "Take it easy, it won't hurt you." ”
"Quack!" Therefore, Lerton nodded again and again, expressing his agreement with this sentence.
Hearing this, Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu looked cautiously at Gu Leton.
So Le Dun stood there and let them look at it.
After a long while, Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu glanced at each other.
"Mama ......"
"Fleur......
It doesn't seem like they're going to eat them, huh?
Seeing this, Lerton patted his chest with his big paw rather humanely.
"Quack!"
Look at it, look at it!
The fear on the faces of Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu disappeared, and instead showed a simple and innocent smile.
"Mama~"
"Fu~"
Naoki didn't know what a few Pokémon were saying.
But seeing the appearance of the frost milk fairy and the mini Fu, he should not be so scared, so he picked them up left and right, and led them into the wooden house.
"This will be our home from now on!" Naoki looked around and asked, "Where do you want to live?" ”
He gave them the choice to choose.
Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu understood what Naoki meant, and they began to look around, observing the situation and choosing a suitable place to live.
Soon, Mini Fu took the lead in choosing the location - the windowsill above Naoki's desk.
It's in the range of sunlight, and a breeze blows in from the outside, making it the perfect place to live for a grass-type Pokémon that uses photosynthesis to maintain its vitality.
Naoki nodded, placing Mini Fu on the windowsill, and then looked at Frost Milk Fairy.
"What about you?"
Frost Fairy's gaze fell on the cupboard in the kitchen area, and its eyes lit up: "Ma! ”
"Cabinets?" Naoki raised an eyebrow and stepped forward with the Frost Milk Fairy, and he opened the cupboard, revealing the tree fruits and various spices stored inside.
Frost Milk Fairy jumped in and hid in a small space in the corner of the cupboard.
"Ma!" This is it!
"Uh...... All right. "Naoki originally thought that this place was a bit small and not suitable for the frost milk fairy to live.
But after thinking about it carefully, combined with the ecology of the Frost Milk Fairy, I feel that there is no place more suitable for the Frost Milk Fairy than here.
Perhaps because of the fear that she will be eaten by her sweet-toothed Pokémon, Frost Milk Fairy naturally likes small spaces, which can give it a complete sense of security.
"Not bad."
Naoki nodded, he smelled the faint sweet fragrance wafting through the air, and thought to himself that the cream produced by this frost fairy should be caramel-flavored.
Naoki may not have eaten sweets for a long time, but now that he smells this smell, a terrible thought suddenly pops up in his heart to lick the frost milk fairy.
He hurriedly retracted this thought, and after placing the frost milk fairy, he turned to look at Mini Fu.
Looking at the slightly empty windowsill, Naoki couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Something seems to be missing there......
Grass-type Pokémon require soil and water in addition to sunlight.
That's right, it's a flower pot!
Naoki remembers that there was an empty flower pot in the utility room at the back of the wooden house!
He immediately went to the utility room, where he found a dusty flower pot, rinsed it under the tap, and then dug up a handful of soft dirt from the field and put it in.
Naoki placed the pot in front of Mini Fu.
Mini Fu had a happy expression on her face.
It jumped into the pot, stuck its little feet in the dirt, and lazily basked in the sun.
"You'll enjoy it."
Naoki smiled softly as he placed the pots on the windowsill and opened the window to let in the breeze outside.
