My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 162, The first day of summer is particularly busy

The transition between spring and summer in this world is more exaggerated than Jiang Simiao expected.

It was clearly the tail end of spring a few days ago, but it is still spring after all. No matter whether the weather is hot or cold, no matter what, it will give everyone a wonderful sense of newness.

Jiang Simiao opened his eyes tiredly on the bed. Before he could speak, a pressure came from his head.

He raised his head slightly tiredly and saw nothing, but he could hear familiar voices communicating in his ears.

"Why are you still sleeping? It's so strange."

Feng Ci's voice was full of doubts, and the claws originally on Jiang Simiao's head were quickly slapped away.

"Hey, hey, don't be angry~ Ah, ah, don't hit me!"

Although Jiang Simiao didn't hear the sound of Bailinglong's exchange, he could tell from Feng Ci's voice that it should be bullying Feng Ci now because Feng Ci had just teased him.

very nice.

Jiang Simiao was a little happy. He got up from the bed and stretched.

It was already morning, at eight or nine in the morning, and the light outside shone through the curtains on Jiang Simiao's bed. No wonder he was still sweating just now.

"The change of seasons is so obvious."

Jiang Simiao wiped his forehead and began to sweat unintentionally.

He walked to the window, opened the curtains, and turned to look out.

The golden light shines directly into the pasture, and it feels like the color of the whole world has become warmer. Jiang Simiao doesn't even need to be told that it is summer.

The weeds grew like crazy, completely ignoring the fences that had been enclosed before. These parts that restricted their nature were directly destroyed by them, which were full of vitality. The grass stretched into the distance, like a green ocean.

Over there in the farmland, the leaves of the fruit trees are also rich in green. All the flowers and young leaves have disappeared, leaving only the most lush leaves.

Fortunately, Jiang Simiao had already used special peanuts to replace other crops in the pasture. The originally green peanut stems and leaves actually had many thin twigs dotted with small yellow flowers.

These are things that do not appear in spring. Almost as soon as spring passes, these plants have grown into shapes that can adapt to summer.

The sky is as blue as a wash, with the occasional white clouds passing by casting mottled shadows. The breeze blows, and the grass blades sway gently, making a rustling sound.

The Green Chicken led the much mature chicks to continue training in the tall grass. The Void Chicken and the Golden Chicken looked much more honest, and they continued to exercise seriously even where the Green Chicken could not see them.

Speaking of grass chicken.

Jiang Simiao's eyes rested on it, which was green and shiny.

After summer, the tender green on the grass chicken also turned into a rich dark green like the branches and leaves of the trees. Although the specific appearance did not change much, they did look like two creatures.

"Meow."

Perhaps Jiang Simiao's movements after getting up were noticed by Shi Lai. While Jiang Simiao was still looking at the summer scenery outside, Shi Lai, wearing an apron and holding a plate in his hand, called out at the door.

"Come in good morning."

Jiang Simiao turned around and smiled softly when he saw the plate in Shi Lai's hand: "I will change my clothes and go out soon."

"Meow."

Shi Lai nodded and left the bedroom.

Jiang Simiao took another look at the scenery outside, especially the weeds and farmland, which seemed quite busy.

Fortunately, I didn’t underestimate the season change. The impact was indeed huge.

Jiang Simiao sighed inwardly, and then went to find his own clothes.

After getting dressed and coming to the living room, Jiang Simiao unexpectedly saw Uncle Zach and Isabel.

"Hi, good morning. Are you here to have breakfast?"

"Of course I've already eaten." Isabel waved her wings and floated out of the kitchen, holding a plate of something like soup in her hand.

"This is a special food over there. If you eat it at the beginning of summer, you will have good luck for the whole season."

Isabel placed the plate on the table, noticed Jiang Simuo's somewhat surprised expression, and explained with a smile.

"And what about this thing I have, you can also take a look at it!"

Uncle Zach came out cheerfully holding a plate of meatloaf, and put the cutlery on the table rudely, making a loud noise, which earned Isabel a look.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I drank too much, I'm still a little dizzy...burp~"

Uncle Zach put his hand around the back of his head, showed an awkward smile on his face, and opened his mouth to explain.

And the wine belch he got up at the end of his words seemed to confirm his own words.

"This kind of light beer is the most comfortable to drink in summer..."

Uncle Zach took out an oversized wine glass from somewhere, and a faint aroma of wine floated out of it. He raised his head and drank it, and the rich light foam surrounded his mouth.

"Okay, okay, you continue to eat, I'm going to drink." Uncle Zach staggered out of the hut, leaving only a confused Jiang Simiao.

“Where did all that lager come from?”

Jiang Simiao turned to look at Isabel and couldn't help but ask.

"In the morning...when Sister Wu Hui came to see you, you hadn't gotten up yet, so she just explained some things to Shi Lai."

"She said that all the buildings in the ranch have been completed. She came here to tell you about it and help you add the Owl Market bulletin board at the entrance of the ranch."

"When she came, she brought a few boxes of light beer. She said she wanted you to taste it and see if you can make something similar. The sales volume of this light beer has been very good recently."

"Well... I only have half a box of the light beer in the house now, and the rest is still at Uncle Zach's. I got it from Shi Lai."

Isabel recalled what happened in the morning and slowly explained to Jiang Simiao.

Jiang Simiao had also sat down, looking at the two distinctive foods in front of him and nodding.

"Actually, that means that some people hope that I can brew more light beer and sell it, right?" Jiang Simiao roughly figured out his thoughts and nodded.

At this time, Shi Lai finally walked out of the kitchen, with a plate in his hand filled with extremely rich food.

[Summer Feast·Venus, Lucky Attribute +2, All Attributes +2]

【Duration: 11:59:59】

"This is the summer feast?" Jiang Simiao looked at this thing. Although he was very happy with its improvement, when he saw the food inside, he still couldn't help but want to ask what it was.

"The ingredients inside..."

"Meow."

Shi Lai called out and glanced at Jiang Simiao coldly.

Jiang Simiao：6
  Well, well, it’s a summer feast.

I recognized it in the illustrated book, how could I not recognize it.

But to be honest, it is really delicious.

Jiang Simiao brought the food to his mouth one bite at a time, and Isabel also took small sips of Isabel's thick soup with a spoon.

When he finally finished all the meatloaf made by Uncle Zach, he finally couldn't hold back and burped. "If you want to make something in the future, do it separately. Do it together. I might not be able to eat it."

Jiang Simiao leaned back on the chair with a bitter look on his face and said to Isabel who was quietly drinking soup.

"Ah, it seems we were negligent." Isabel also said a little dumbfounded.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's go and tidy up the pasture later."

Jiang Simiao waved his hand, raised his head and began to think about what would happen next.

First of all, we need to get rid of the weeds. The wooden fence we made before is almost broken, so we just need to redo it all.

All the special peanuts are ready to be harvested. Then go to the grocery store to buy some ordinary seeds and plant them.

And for light beer, you need hops and a brewing keg, so you need to buy these things.

I need to go to the research institute in the mysterious forest to find the spiritual seeds. I might have some.

Of course, when you go to town, you have to look at the notice board first to see if there are any other requirements on it.

then……

The research institute that the official said is going to be built for me should be coming in the next few days.

The livestock shed is built and I haven’t bought any animals yet. I will buy some extraordinary creatures when the time comes.

and also……

Obviously a whole quarter has passed, and he has achieved a leap from zero to one in the spring. It is obvious that the busiest period has passed, and the accumulation of funds has made great progress, but now when he thinks about it, he still feels... too busy.

so busy...

Jiang Simiao rubbed his bloated belly, still thinking about it.

Unlike in the spring, his pasture has developed very stably now, and with two legendary creatures sitting on the farm, it will be good no matter how it develops.

The only problem is that there are more and more partners in the pasture, and they have brought huge help to themselves.

So of course Jiang Simiao wants to make the ranch better and better entertain these friends who come to the ranch.

Now the space above the ground is almost occupied. If we build a few more livestock sheds or storage cabins in the future, we may really have no room to entertain friends.

We still have to find a way to expand the pasture...

My goal this summer is to make the pasture better and stop wandering outside!

Jiang Simiao secretly made up his mind.

He told Isabel some simple plans directly, hoping that it would help clean up the weeds and farmland now.

The cursed slime that came back with him should be still sleeping now. He asked Xiaorui and the others to take good care of it and rest for enough time before thinking about its racial characteristics.

Now...

Jiang Simiao turned to look at Shi Lai.

"Shi Lai, come with me to the town later to buy things and seeds."

"Meow."

Shi Lai responded, and Hui quickly walked out waving his paws.

It changed into a light green apron, took its bag and other necessary things, and left with Jiang Simiao.

When he arrived at the entrance of the ranch, Jiang Simiao saw the bulletin board Isabel was talking about.

There is a large OuNiao market icon on it, and the words "New OuNiao" are written next to it.

In the middle is a list with conditions, and two of them have been placed now.

Jiang Simiao went over to take a look with some curiosity. There were commissions from Zizhu Ranch and an individual.

The personal one is what I saw before. The commission for the light beer was requested by the residents of Ou Niao Town. Although Jiang Simiao is not familiar with it, since he is from Ou Niao Town, it will definitely be completed.

As for this Zizhu Ranch...

Jiang Simiao had seen Zizhu Ranch before. It was a large ranch he saw along the way when he went to the Ou Niao market. There were many people, and it was at least bigger than the new Ou Niao.

He couldn't understand why this ranch wanted to cooperate with him.

But when he saw the request above, he immediately realized it.

[I hope that I can have one hundred grams of wood element crystal - Cui Tengyan, which can be exchanged for five different kinds of spiritual bamboos. 】

It seems that during the previous transaction with Boss Qiu, the items for sale were publicized, and they knew about their ability to obtain many crystal stones.

It's up to Uncle Zach. Jiang Simiao won't go out and wander around again during this season anyway.

It is important to develop pastures.

After leaving the ranch, we walked back to the familiar path.

The sun hung high overhead, casting a dazzling golden light. It's already a bit hot since summer arrives, and the trail is lined with dense trees with lush branches and leaves, forming a green corridor. Jiang Simiao and Shi Lai like to walk under the shade of trees.

I still remember that when I walked this trail in the spring, there were berries on the roadside, and Jiang Simiao would take Xiaoruan to pick them. The small animals next to them were all shrunk, and they couldn't be seen unless they looked for them.

There are many more creatures on this trail than usual. Little squirrels, little rabbits, and little bugs no longer hide when they see people as before.

Maybe because they have been walking around a lot, they are familiar with Jiang Simiao and know that he is a very good person, so when he looks over, they can wave their short and fleshy little hands to say hello.

Especially those little squirrels, with their pouty mouths, big fluffy tails, small bodies, and round black eyes looking at Jiang Simiao, they are really cute. And I am no longer afraid of being born.

While walking, a pine cone suddenly fell from the tree and rolled all the way to Jiang Simiao's feet. He stopped, leaned over and picked up the pine cone.

A squirrel with the largest tail jumped down from the tree in a flash and started to climb up Jiang Simiao's trouser legs. It was really not afraid of strangers at all.

But after all, Jiang Simiao's pants were not easy to hold on to, and they almost fell off. Jiang Simiao held them close to his eyes, and handed the pine cone in his other hand to it.

"Be careful next time." Jiang Simiao laughed dumbly as Pinecone was hugged by the big-tailed squirrel, rubbed its head, and warned softly.

"squeak……"

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Simiao squatted down, put it on the ground, waved to it, turned around and followed Shi Lai who was waiting in front.

"It turns out I've been coming to Ou Niao Town for so long." Jiang Simiao suddenly smiled at Shi Lai.

"Meow?"

"It just feels like I've really become a part of OuNiao Town, whether it's a person or a creature."

"Anyway, let's work hard together and continue to make the ranch better."

"Meow."

　…Sent.

　　The scheduled release time was wrong last night
