Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 38 Effort and Harvest

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Naoki and Guleton returned to the ranch after a busy day.

Even in the middle of the night, the ranch is still brightly lit.

After returning from Daguo Lake that day, Zhishu began to study the stone road in the ranch.

But without a professional machine, he had no way to polish the stone into the shape of a slate. In the end, he had to resort to using wooden boards to pave a road in the ranch.

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

When it gets dark, as long as you light the torch, you can illuminate a large area.

Under the shroud of fire, the whole ranch looked a little lively.

It was too late, and the motorcycle lizard who was waiting for Naoki to come home had already fallen asleep under the eaves.

Naoki didn't wake it up, but worked together with Gu Lerton to dump the fish from the fishing net into the small lake in the pasture.

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

Naoki sprinkled bait on the lake in advance, and after a while, nearby fish schools would gather here.

Then it is handed over to Guleton, who fishes in this water area, and Naoki fishes in another area of ​​water, until the net is full, and they will airlift the full net of fish back to the pasture.

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

As long as Gleton was running as fast as he could, he could get the fish into the lake before they suffocated.

Of course, it is not that there are no dead fish. These fish are often used by Naoki to make dishes to reward Guleton.

For convenience, they laid a layer of extra-large fishing nets on the bottom of the lake in advance.

In this way, when Zach comes to collect 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, for the convenience of loading fish, the few king carps that Naoki threw in there were put back into the river by him.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Naoki lifted the hem of his clothes to wipe the sweat off his face, and said to Gu Luerton with a smile.

Gu Luerton also wiped the sweat off his face with his big paw: "Gah~"

Naoki looked around, saw that it was getting late, and said again: "Let's come here today!"

When they returned to the cabin, Naoki woke up the motorcycle lizard and let it go to sleep, while he went to the kitchen area to make some supper.

The movement they made woke up Minieff and Frosty Fairy, who opened their eyes and looked over.

So Naoki had to make two more copies.

The pleasant supper time is over, Mini Fu and Cream Fairy went to bed.

So Leton was tired all day today, and he had no intention of competing with the motorcycle lizard. He returned to his place, yawned, and fell asleep with his paws on his pillow.

And the motorcycle lizard stood beside Naoki.

"Gah..."

Naoki took off his dirty blue overalls and only wore a thin white short sleeve.

Seeing the appearance of the motorcycle lizard, he reached out and touched its head, and said, "It will be fine after a while. Nothing major happened in the pasture today, right?"

Motor Lizard has been working hard to watch the house recently. Hearing this, it shook its head and said, "Gah!"

"That's good." Naoki smiled and said: "You did a good job, I should thank you very much."

"Gah..."

Naoki patted it on the shoulder again, "Okay, it's getting late, go to sleep, I'll go to sleep after I finish accounting!"

Motor Lizard obediently went to sleep.

And Naoki took out the ledger and recorded today's income on it.

These days, the main source of income for the ranch is mainly the fish they catch from the Cauldron Lake and the Western Padia Sea.

Naoki did not sell the eggs laid by the hens, but made them all 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 earned a total of 320 alliance coins in the past five days.

When he sells the fish in the lake tomorrow, plus the remaining money, his savings will break through to [-] union currency.

Although he was very tired these few days, seeing a drawer full of money, Zhi Shu suddenly felt full of motivation.

Day and night labor made his body stronger, his muscles more defined, his skin tanned a lot, and he looked more and more like a real rancher.

"It's just right, you can take a good rest for a while now!"

Naoki stretched relaxedly, leaned back in the chair and thought about what to do tomorrow.

With the money, he plans to go to the town to find Keri to fix the salt house. Although he doesn't know if those salt stone treasures are willing to come to the ranch, it is no problem to prepare in advance.

In addition, I have to buy a few more poke balls, so that I can take advantage of Keri's time to build the salt house to go to the cauldron lake to see if I can bring back the mount lamb, mount goat, and tropical dragon.

After these things are done, some of the first batch of crops planted will be mature.

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

Thinking about this in his mind, Naoki looked up at the old-fashioned pendulum on the wall, and suddenly found that it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

Naoki: "..."

sleep!

Early the next morning, Naoki went to the friendly store in the town to buy ten poke balls.

Although 2000 alliance coins were spent, Naoki believed that the Pokémon recovered with them would surely create a value far exceeding 2000.

After leaving the store, he went to Kerry's woodworking shop and then to the forest cabin on the edge of the town.

Kerry, wearing a light blue smock, was chopping wood with an axe.

Seeing Naoki approaching, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "I've heard Zach tell you about you these days, he said that you and Guleton caught a lot of fish and sold them for a lot of money, you really worked hard! "

Naoki smiled: "After all, there are so many Pokémon waiting for me to raise in the ranch, so I can't do it without working hard!"

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

Compared with the first time we met, his body was significantly stronger, his skin was also tanned, and he looked healthier.

Kerry exclaimed: "That's right, I'm becoming more and more like a real rancher! You haven't met the ranchers of other nearby ranches, have you?"

Naoki shook his head: "I haven't had time to visit, what happened to them?"

Kerry smiled and said, "They are all big guys. Years of farm work have made them very strong. It feels like you will become like that one day."

Naoki shrugged nonchalantly.

He never cared much about his appearance.

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

"Salt House." Naoki said.

After careful calculation, raising Yanshibao to collect rock salt and sell it is one of the most profitable ways to make money.

So, he put the salt house in front of the building.
