Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 76

Holding the bag of soil, Naoki walked around the Zinkin Market again, wanting to see if he could buy something suitable for other Pokémon in the ranch.

However, after shopping around, I couldn't find similar items again.

In desperation, Naoki had to turn around and leave, and continued to the 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 Zhishu coming in, he quickly recognized the new rancher in the town, and greeted him cheerfully:

"Morning, what seeds do you want to buy when you come here today? Spring is coming to an end, and some spring crop seeds are being discounted!"

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

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

Several people dressed as farmers were picking out there, and it was obvious that he was not the only one preparing for the summer season in advance.

"You don't need the spring ones." Zhishu said, "I want to take a look at the summer seeds when I come here this time."

With that said, he came to the shelf and began to carefully select.

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

Such as corn, wheat, hops, melons, pineapples, pumpkins, onions, sunflowers.

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

Naoki looked at these crops, lost in thought.

At present, his ranch is mainly engaged in animal husbandry, and his main source of income is rock salt, goat milk and mushrooms in the cave behind, instead of farming.

Therefore, when purchasing crops, the first consideration is their availability.

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

"Wheat? After a while, if you save enough money, you need to build a mill. With a mill, you can throw wheat and corn into it and process it into flour and animal feed."

"Hops... Although there is no cellar for brewing wine in the pasture, according to my plan, the new home will be built before winter arrives at the latest. I don't know if the hops harvested in summer can be stored until autumn. Take advantage of the time in winter when you can't grow crops to make wine."

As for melons, pineapples, pumpkins, etc., you can grow some of them, and the crops produced can not only be sold, but also be used to develop new dishes.

The same is true for sunflowers. In addition to beautifying the pastures in a sunflower field, the sunflower seeds produced can also be manually fried into melon seeds, which can be eaten in spare time.

Thinking of this, Zhishu bought a pack of each seed. When paying for it, the boss looked at the seeds and couldn't help saying:
"You don't actually have to buy every seed. It's a lot of hard work for ranchers to have so many seeds, and each seed has a different planting method and ripening time, and it can be troublesome to get it wrong."

"You know, especially for a novice rancher, it might be a better choice to grow some crops you like at first, and then try other crops after you learn their growth habits."

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 ranch to eat."

"Okay." Hearing this, the boss didn't say anything more.

After leaving the seed shop, Naoki went to Happy Ranch again.

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

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

The old man smiled and said, "It's Naoki? What Pokémon do you want to buy today?"

"Is there any news about the ship that transported the big milk tank?" Naoki asked.

"Have it!"

The old man nodded, thinking of the notification he received on the phone, he said with emotion:
"Sure enough, something happened to the cargo ship transporting the big milk tank. It encountered a terrible storm at sea, hit a rock and sank to the bottom of the sea when passing by a small island."

"Fortunately, the crew on the ship was well-trained. They and the water-type Pokémon around them rescued the big milk tank that fell into the water."

"I heard from them that when they were lost in the sea, they were guided by a fast dragon, and with its help, they managed to find their way back to land."

"Quick Dragon?"

Naoki keenly captured the key words in the words.

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a very kind Pokémon! Thanks to its help, the big milk tank was able to arrive here. Just yesterday, they came to the ranch. Do you want to go and see it?"

Zhi Shu has only drank Moo Moo's milk, and has never seen a real big milk jug.

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

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.

On a piece of fertile grass, Naoki saw the group of big milk tanks.

In reality, the big milk jug looks like a pink cow, with a ball-shaped tail and a black pattern on the head that looks like a black assassin's hood.

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

Among them, Xiaoqian, the owner of the Manjin Gym, is the most famous user of the big milk pot.

It is said that her big milk tank once blocked countless challengers with a single move, and became the nightmare of these trainers.

"This is the big milk jug, is this the first time you have seen them?" the old man asked with a smile.

It can also be said that, Naoki nodded, and said vaguely: "That's right! I only watched it on TV before."

"Big milk pots are the best partners of human beings. The milk they produce has nurtured generations of people. People in the nearby Galar region or the distant Kanto region have grown up drinking their milk. of."

The old man paused and asked, "Have you heard of Xiaoqian?"

"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 has been rated as the best Moo Moo fresh milk, which is very powerful!"

The finest moo moo milk...

This quality should be about the same as that of fresh milk enhanced with [milk porridge].

To be able to raise the big milk tank to such an extent, I have to say that Xiaoqian has a lot of skills.

Naoki felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay." The old man asked, "How many do you want?"
