My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 121: In the middle of the night, you heard strange sounds in the pasture (the author is going to evolve to Riliu!)
Jiang Simiao agreed to Xiaofu.

They happily decided that at tomorrow's performance, Jiang Simiao would go on stage to sing a song together. They could sing whatever they wanted, and sometimes they could dance on the side.

Although doing this is against Jiang Simiao's original intention, the increase in inexplicable performances will only affect the speed of the development of his ranch.

But now he doesn't think so anymore, and even feels like he can have more.

There is no other reason than that she gave too much.

It's best to prepare for seven more performances and send over the remaining elemental gems, or trade them, so that he doesn't have to worry about collecting elemental gems.

Jiang Simiao didn't know why Xiaofu carried so many things with him.

But I heard from her that this necklace was actually one that she planned to make again. She mainly wanted to remove the hollow wind crystal because she felt that the chain was not worthy of this precious gem.

However, the gems are just beautiful to her, and she doesn't care much about the elemental energy and effects in them.

If Jiang Simiao wants it, it doesn't matter if he gives it to Jiang Simiao.

By the way, she also reached a small private deal with Jiang Simiao. If Xiaofu has any extra elemental gems in the future, she can exchange them with her for high-quality spiritual plants.

After all, at this rarity, bartering is always easier to meet the requirements of both parties.

Originally, Jiang Simiao was worried that Xiaofu would reject her. Unexpectedly, when she heard that she could get a precious spiritual plant from Jiang Simiao, Xiaofu suddenly became excited and agreed directly. By the way, she promised to give it to her as soon as she returned from the performance. Another purple thunder diamond bracelet was given to Jiang Simiao. What he wanted was honey-sweet sugarcane that would mature over time.

After all, before visiting the entire environment, Xiaofu still took a look around Jiang Simiao's small ranch.

This ranch called Xin Ou Niao is already quite large. Although many places are still vacant, the places that have been built are so pleasant.

This was the first time for Xiaofu to come to a real ranch, especially one where so many spiritual plants were planted and so many extraordinary fish were raised.

At Jiang Simiao's request, she also made some small suggestions on the decoration and construction of the ranch, and also repaired the decoration of the mini fish pond.

It was obvious that she was quite interested in that device. If she had enough time, Jiang Simiao didn't doubt that she would spend a day decorating the fish pond.

It really looks like myself when I used to play Stardew Valley Decoration Ranch.

……

I did spend today's time walking around with Xiao Fu, from the forest in the south of the ranch to the mysterious forest in the north of Ou Niao Town. We also went to the seaside and took her to have a brief look at the Ore Mountains.

There are some places that even Jiang Simiao himself has never been to several times. He just looked at the map Mr. Sang Du once gave him and took a good tour of this area of ​​Ou Niao Town with Xiao Fu.

There seemed to be quite a lot of extraordinary creatures, but they all sneaked away when Jiang Simiao came closer, or they just looked at the combination of two people and one cat from a distance. They didn't welcome or attack, they just looked at Jiang Simu curiously. Miao and Xiaofu next to her were ignored.

At this time, Xiao Fu also realized why before coming to Ou Niao Town, the people she knew told her that Ou Niao Town was full of wonders.

It's really wonderful to be able to coexist in such harmony with wild extraordinary creatures.Especially these extraordinary creatures look so powerful and there are so many of them.

It didn't come in vain.

Xiaofu walked behind Jiang Simiao and Shi Lai, with her hands behind her back, still looking around curiously.

The place they are going to now is tomorrow's performance venue, which is actually an open space in the southern forest.

It is usually not open there. Even the residents of Ou Niao Town are not allowed to go in casually. I heard that there are traces of legends inside, and it can only be opened for major festivals or tours.

For example, the Spring Feast at the end of spring and the Flower Burial Festival later in the period, the Summer Festival in summer, the Autumn Festival in autumn, and the Winter Ceremony in winter.

Or some traveling performances recognized by Owl Town.

Xiaofu's tour is actually a tour. In order to allow Xiaofu to perform in the most important place, her company has given many benefits to Ouniao Town without causing any damage to nature and ecology. Only then can Xiaofu be able to perform here. of.

It is precisely for this reason that the company told Xiaofu to find local people to be guests on stage.

Being able to perform in Ou Niao Town may be just a change of venue for most people, but for the beast masters who know Ou Niao Town, it means that the performers have obtained the guardians of Ou Niao Town to a certain extent. recognition.

An "ordinary and unremarkable" town has been slowly remembered by people outside because of the information that has been spread recently, but they will not just come here casually.

In short, during the performance, the stone gate that has been surrounding the southwestern corner of the southern forest will be opened, and everyone can enter the central plain of the southern forest.

Of course, these are all what Jiang Simiao has heard, and Mr. Sang Du’s map doesn’t include much of this information.

But since the tour will be there tomorrow, Jiang Simiao plans to take Xiao Fu to visit.

If you can't go in, just look outside. Of course it's better if you can go in.

When I walked over, it was actually already evening, about five or six o'clock, and the sky was already orange-red.

The warm orange light of the setting sun shines through the trees on the winding path.The edges of the leaves are plated with a layer of gold, and mottled light and shadow float in the forest. Occasionally, a few leaves fall leisurely, drawing graceful arcs between the light and shadow.

Fallen leaves are everywhere on the forest path, making a rustling sound when stepped on.On a hillside not far away, a group of hares were foraging leisurely, their ears pricking up warily from time to time.A squirrel nimbly shuttles among the branches, busy collecting fruits.

A meandering creek flows quietly, and the water sparkles in the warm sun.A few sparrows flew to the stream to drink water, and their cheerful chirps echoed in the forest.Among the reeds on the other side of the stream, a deer quietly poked its head out and drank from the water.

"This is it, but it's a pity it's not open yet."

Jiang Simiao stopped in front of Shimen, with regret in his tone.He raised his head slightly and looked at the familiar-looking Shimen, feeling something strange in his heart.

This is not the first time he has seen a similar stone gate.

There are two ancient trees next to them, which look like two guards.

The ancient stone gate stands among towering ancient trees, vicissitudes of life and simplicity.

It is erected from two huge granite slabs, with a rough surface and full of signs of weathering.Moss climbs and grows on the rock surface, dotted with patches of deep green.The top of the stone gate still retains the original mortise and tenon structure, recording its long history.

"It seems that we really can only take a look tomorrow." Jiang Simiao stretched out his hand and knocked on the edge of the stone door.

The location of this stone gate is different from the one in the mysterious forest. The city wall outside the stone gate is made of ancient trees, and this stone gate stands directly on the edge of a canyon. Looking sideways, the scenery behind is not blocked at all.

Behind the stone gate is a wooden suspension bridge, and behind it is the interior of the southern forest.

It was a dense grove with various shrubs and bright wild flowers dotted throughout.Further away is the vast virgin forest, with tall and tall trees and deep green forest.Occasionally, a few birdsong came from the depths of the woods, echoing in the empty valley.

But if you look carefully, you can still find a road, winding deeper, which should be to the open space.

"The performance is tomorrow, can't we go in today?" Xiaofu didn't quite understand. She put her hands on her knees and looked at the dense forest behind the stone gate.

"Maybe the organizer and the mayor have other arrangements."

Jiang Simiao shrugged. He who knew the legend could probably understand that perhaps the stage for the performance was a purely natural venue, a stage surrounded by flowers and fresh grass.

"It's a pity..."

Xiaofu sighed with regret, but when she turned to look at Jiang Simiao, a smile appeared on her face.

"Please, Mr. Jiang Simiao, please take me on this trip."

"Do you want to go to Grandma Yelena's place again?" Jiang Simiao looked up at the sky again, and after roughly judging the time, he said to Xiao Fu next to him.

"It will probably be six or seven when we go back. Isn't it inappropriate to bother us so late?"

"Then when you drop by my ranch, have a meal at my place and then go back to town. Even at night, Ouliao Town is still quite safe."

Jiang Simuo touched his chin with one hand and felt that what she said made sense. He nodded and gave another invitation, "Even if it's just a thank you, this hollow wind crystal is still a precious thing. Eat it for a while." Shi Lai's carefully prepared dinner can be regarded as a return gift."

"Cooking made by Shi Lai!" Xiao Fu turned to look at Shi Lai next to her. When Shi Lai heard Jiang Simiao's words, she involuntarily puffed up her chest, although the expression on her face was not much. It was obvious, but the slightly raised corners of its mouth still revealed its little pride.

"Shi Lai can actually cook! Then I have to try it~" Xiao Fu became even more curious about Shi Lai.

It's really hard to believe that Shi Lai, whose racial level is not that high, actually has such amazing intelligence and skills.

"Meow."

Shi Lai turned around and walked in the front, pretending to be aloof.

But Jiang Simiao looked at the shoulders that were constantly shaking and the little fat legs that were swinging much faster, and shook his head with a smile.

Shi Lai definitely didn't want his silly smile to be seen by his idol.

Hey, this kitten is still shy.

"Why did Shi Lai walk so fast this time?"

Xiaofu noticed Shi Lai's strange movements and walked next to Jiang Simiao, feeling a little confused.

"Who knows." Jiang Simiao spread his hands pretending not to know, "Maybe he thought of cooking at night, so he should rush back and start cooking early to prevent us from waiting too long."

"Is there really a pet animal that can run a household so diligently and frugally?"

Thinking of her pet beasts who were pampered and able to tear down the house from time to time, and looking at the back of Shi Lai in front of her, Xiaofu subconsciously glanced at Jiang Simiao and fell into deep thought.

If you want to learn this, you should learn from him.

After turning the corner, Jiang Simuo and Xiao Fu really lost track of Shi Lai. It looked like it had run back.

After returning to the ranch, Jiang Simiao saw the bright cabin from a distance, and the fragrance inside wafted out, making both Jiang Simiao and Xiao Fu a little greedy.

"It smells so good! I..." Xiaofu's eyes lit up instantly, but when she thought about the cooking that Shi made, her expression suddenly became a little complicated.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Simuo, who was waiting for Xiaofu's comment, didn't hear the follow-up for a long time. He turned around and looked over, and found that Xiaofu was looking at the hut with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I'm wondering how I can make a pet beast do such a thing."

Xiaofu finished speaking seriously and solemnly, then turned to look at Jiang Simiao.

"Mr. Jiang Simiao, I usually don't ask for help, but this time I really want to know how Shi Lai became like this!" The sensible, smart, hard-working pet beast, Xiao Fu is really sad. Sour.

"Ah this..."

Because Xiaofu blocked the way, Jiang Simiao could only stop and glance at the cabin, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe, you need a creature who can do housework before becoming an extraordinary creature."

Xiaofu:?
"Shi Lai was actually just an ordinary kitten at first. It was not that big at that time, and it would cook for me..." Jiang Simiao smiled awkwardly, feeling that he was a little embarrassed when he said these words, " Maybe it’s because it’s afraid that I’ll starve to death if I cook for myself.”

Xiaofu:?
"Are you telling a story?" Xiaofu looked serious and didn't want to believe it.

She was afraid that if she believed it, she would shed tears.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

They are both pet beasts, so why is there such a big gap?
After entering the hut, the aroma of dinner wafted out from the kitchen. Braised pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, and mapo tofu were all home-cooked dishes.These fragrances were intertwined together, like fragrant pinballs popping one after another, exploding in the air, making Xiao Fu feel dizzy, but her heart was full of sourness.

Someone else’s pet animal.

She first glanced enviously at Jiang Simiao, who had a normal expression, and then looked at the dining table.

Just at this glance, I couldn't take my eyes away, and even swallowed subconsciously.

It's obviously an ordinary home-cooked dish, but it looks like it's going to shine.

The aroma of braised pork is overflowing, the pork is fat and thin, the sauce is dark brown, and uniformly sized pieces of meat are wrapped in it. The pig skin is crystal clear under the light. Just thinking about it makes me feel that the meat melts in my mouth. Swallow the fat mixed with the juice.The mapo tofu on the side has an attractive color outlined by red oil chili peppers. The soft tofu and spicy sauce are intertwined together, creating a fragrant smell.Sweet and sour Kung Pao Chicken, the deliciousness of the chicken is perfectly combined with the sweet and sour sauce.There is also the fragrant fish-flavored shredded pork. The tenderness of the pork is intertwined with the aroma of onions and ginger, which is very exciting.

Whirlpool cabbage is a cold dish, mainly to preserve energy and cool taste. It is the only vegetarian dish tonight.

Not to mention that Shi Lai even fried a portion of golden egg fried rice. The egg liquid wrapped the rice grains, which seemed to glow with golden light under the light.

Of course, these dishes have other meanings in Jiang Simiao's eyes.

[Pure braised pork·Venus, effect: physical attribute +2]

[Explosive Mapo Tofu·Venus, effect: speed attribute +2, sensitivity attribute +1]

[Kung Pao Chicken·Venus, effect: physical attribute +1]

[Fish-flavored shredded pork·Venus, effect: energy control +2]

[Tornado Kale Salad·Venus, effect: wind attribute affinity +1, speed attribute +3]

[Golden Egg Fried Rice·Venus, effect: physical attribute +1, combat level +1]

Jiang Simiao:?
He looked at Shi Lai with a puzzled look on his face, as if he had some doubts about his feast tonight.

You have made these dishes before, but you have never cooked them with attributes!
Why, today the idol is here, so you can show off your skills, right?
Jiang Simiao sat down in his seat angrily, took the egg fried rice and chopsticks that were passed to him, and took a big bite in his mouth.

Well, it’s so sweet!

Xiao Fu next to her just opened her mouth reservedly at first and stuffed a small mouthful of braised pork into it which was crushed with chopsticks.

She pursed her lips slightly, and the meat seemed to melt on the tip of her tongue. The fragrant oil was mixed with some distinct lean meat fibers and she swallowed it. The smell of spices and sauce seemed to rush straight to her forehead, making her subconsciously let out a cry. Lightly.

"Hmm~"

Xiaofu's hand holding the chopsticks stopped at her mouth, her eyes had subconsciously narrowed, and her body changed posture unnaturally, as if she was still recalling the taste just now. She always felt that the braised pork in her mouth seemed to have some magic power. A stream of heat poured into her body, and her whole body seemed to be nourished by energy. Xiao Fu didn't know how to describe her feelings with that kind of pleasure from the inside out.

It's obviously just an ordinary home-cooked dish, how could it be like this?

"Um……"

When that feeling gradually subsided, Xiaofu suddenly came back to her senses and quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead. She seemed to realize her rudeness and quickly turned her head and coughed to cover up her embarrassment.

After the hot feeling in her body subsided, she sat upright again and looked at the dishes in front of her. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Want to eat!Want...more!
It feels like those power increases are not fake.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Simiao scooped a spoonful of mapo tofu and mixed it with the rice. Seeing the motionless Xiao Fu in front of him, he almost thought that it was too greasy and did not meet the idol's dietary standards. "There is also spinach cabbage here. Salad, if you feel tired, you can eat this."

As Jiang Simiao said, he pushed the salad in front of Xiao Fu again.

"No, it's delicious." Xiaofu shook her head, picked up another piece of diced chicken, and stuffed it into her mouth along with the rice.

The sweet and sour taste is like exploding in your mouth, and the chicken even feels a bit chewy.

Moreover, there was similar yet somewhat different energy pouring into her body. Although she was mentally prepared, Xiao Fu couldn't help but let out a cry.

Jiang Simiao:?
Why do you feel like you are about to burst out of your clothes?

"Sorry, sorry." Xiaofu quickly covered her mouth and quickly changed the topic.

"Shi Lai's cooking skills are simply the best I have ever seen."

"I've never felt like this before. Is this really just ordinary cooking?"

Xiaofu didn't know if she could ask this question at the dinner table. She always felt that talking while eating such a meal would be disrespectful to Shi Lai.

"Meow……"

Shi Lai nodded the moment he heard her doubts, seeming to reassure her to eat.

"This is Shi Lai's passion work. Ordinary meals may not reach this level." Jiang Simiao told the truth. After all, Shi Lai really can't cook dishes with gold star attributes every time.

“I’m lucky to have such a meal.”

Xiaofu said sincerely, and then she stopped talking completely and ate the rice seriously.

The spiciness of mapo tofu, the smoothness of braised pork, the sweetness and sourness of kung pao chicken, the flavor of fish-flavored shredded pork, and the refreshingness of swirled kale salad.

After eating, Xiaofu didn't know how she left the hut or returned to the hotel.

When the agent saw her holding her belly, her face flushed and her hair a little wet, he immediately thought of something that couldn't be explained in detail, and held her shoulders with a look of horror on his face.

"Little Fu!"

She said with a straight face, "You are not yet under age."

"Hmm..." Xiaofu was a little absent-minded, still sipping the delicious food just now.

"good to eat……"

broker:? ? ? ! ! !
"what?!"

"The meal I just ate, I have never had such a meal before. It was like countless energy entered my body as I swallowed. I obviously felt that I had much stronger power than before. This kind of whole body The feeling of pleasure is really fascinating." Xiaofu lay down directly on the soft big bed and buried her head in the pillow with some obsession.

"It's too precious. I still have to return the gift to Mr. Jiang Simiao tomorrow."

"There must be more food. I hope I can have one more meal before leaving tomorrow..." Xiaofu said to herself. When she thought about being able to eat such a meal, she looked like a madman on her face. He smiled and rolled on the bed holding the pillow.

broker:?

"Just eating...?" She didn't dare to ask Xiaofu in detail. From the look on her face, she couldn't bear to eat.

"Is it possible that something was put there?" The agent's expression was a little serious. She was never afraid to speculate the worst on others, especially those who came into contact with Xiao Fu.

I will go there tomorrow and take a good look at that person with Xiaofu.

The manager made a plan silently, turned to look at Xiaofu on the bed, picked her up and took her to the bathroom to take a bath.

"Hmm~...Sister, take off your clothes gently, I can do it by myself."

……

At the ranch, after Xiao Fu left, Jiang Simiao and Shi Lai finished packing their things and were about to rest.

Because there will be a performance tomorrow afternoon and she needs to familiarize herself with the moves and songs with Shi Lai in the morning, Xiaofu has sent learning materials to Jiang Simiao.

"Shi Lai, can you find out how you feel today and follow this standard in cooking from now on?"

Jiang Simiao was thinking about the evening meal, slumped on the sofa, and grinned at Shi Lai who was washing the dishes.

"Meow……"

Do your best.

"Oh, perfunctory."

Jiang Simiao shook his head and rubbed Shi Lai's chin hard before returning to the bedroom and planning to sleep.

The hands of the clock crept quietly past two o'clock in the morning. It was dark outside the window, with only a few dim street lamps hanging lonely on both sides of the road, like a few dim eyes shining in the dark night.

Jiang Simiao was already asleep, but a crisp sound appeared in his heart, waking him up instantly.

The room was quiet, except for the occasional ticking of the clock on the wall, echoing in the darkness.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from a distance, like someone whispering in a low voice, or like the wind rustling through the leaves.The sound was sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and seemed particularly strange in the silence of the night.

Ok?
Jiang Simiao was drowsy and wanted to get up, but was slapped down by Shi Lai's paw, and he fell asleep again in a daze.

The pasture also quietly changed without realizing it.

　There is another exam on Thursday, but the author is about to evolve into a six-year-old monster. Qiuqiu, let’s read it!
