My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 7, officially "hiring" the black cat butler

"Meow!"

Shi Lai brought out the reheated dishes with a dark face and placed them neatly beside Jiang Simiao. He hugged the tray to his chest and stood quietly next to Jiang Simiao.

After he finished his meal, he immediately took away the plates neatly. Soon, the sound of flushing water came from the kitchen.

Jiang Simiao: "emmm..."

Xiaoruan: "Hmm..."

Jiang Simiao turned his head and looked at each other with Xiaoruan.

"Do you know that your crystals are so powerful?"

Jiang Simiao asked quietly. The look in his eyes made Xiaoruan tremble all over. He looked around and found no room to hide. He rolled his eyes and fell asleep.

slap!

Its limp pink body slipped from the chair, bounced on the ground, and lay spread out, motionless.

Jiang Simiao:......6
He looked at the evaluation of pink slime in the illustrated book and fell into thought again.

"Lively"

Speechlessly, he picked up Xiaoruan, gently placed him on the sofa, and put his coat on him.

Passing by the kitchen, I found Shi Lai fully armed and fighting against the faucet, for fear of splashing water on herself.

"Then it seems that I need to buy some waterproof clothes for Shi Lai..."

"By the way, I still don't know what the current race is. It accidentally used slime crystals, so it is now an extraordinary race."

only……

Jiang Simiao looked at Shi Lai who was working hard and was a little confused.

Why is it so obsessed with housework? Is it because it’s afraid that I can’t do it well?

Thinking of this, Jiang Simuo was stunned. Thinking of the house he had tidied up, his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

With its disgusted look, it seemed impossible that it wasn't.

Jiang Simiao quickly shook his head and threw these unnecessary thoughts out of his mind.Just as I was about to take a shower and relax, I heard the honking of a truck and the loud sound of tires rubbing against the ground when braking.

"Hey, is anyone there?"

Before he could open the door, the shouts of a big man could be heard outside.

"Come on, come on, right now!"

Jiang Simiao responded quickly and ran over to open the door.

What caught his eye was a muscular man, about in his early forties, with clean hair.Wearing a gray-green vest and a pair of dark green overalls, his thick wheat-colored arms were exposed.

"Hello, hello, I am Jiang Simiao, the rancher here."

Jiang Simiao shook hands with him politely and heard him begin to introduce himself.

"Hello, I am Sun Yali from Ou Niao Market." He looked at the pasture under the hazy moonlight, with the flickering light and shadow of the street lamp, and felt a little sad, "The mayor told me before that the pasture has begun to be rebuilt. This is a big surprise. I have been recalling it for a long time.”

"When your grandfather was running this ranch, I was a new driver. Now 20 years have passed. When you inherit his ranch, I will be your ranch's delivery driver again."

"Ah, forget it, let's not talk about these past things. Do you have anything to sell?"

Sun Yali hasn't checked out the shipping box this time. After all, even if Jiang Simiao's current pasture situation is very good, the growth of crops takes time. He had demolished the livestock shed before and had no time to breed pets. .

What's more, he has just returned here, and it is not convenient to explore the surrounding environment.

However, Jiang Simiao's next words stunned him.

"Hey, maybe it's too dark. Uncle Alex, you didn't see it just now." Jiang Simiao walked to the shipping box, opened the lid, and took out the contents.

Feeling the cold air hitting his face, Sun Yali's eyes gradually widened as he watched.

"White morels? They still look very good!"

"Yes." Jiang Simiao nodded, "I picked this up in the mysterious forest today. How much can I get for it?"

"Picked it up in the mysterious forest? Didn't you encounter other wild extraordinary pets?" Sun Yali was stunned.

"No."

Jiang Simiao shook his head.

"Ah, that's it. What a good luck. You know, most of the spiritual plants grow next to the gathering places of extraordinary pet beasts, so these wild spiritual plants will be twice as expensive as normal crops."

"White morels, the supply of this thing in the market is exceeding demand recently. It is an excellent nourishing spiritual plant for both humans and extraordinary pet animals, especially the wild ones. After all, it is a spiritual plant, even if you don't have it Get rid of the muddy feet. There is no problem in selling it for 4000 per pound. Let me weigh it for you first."

Sun Yali carefully took the whitening morels from Jiang Simiao's hand, looked at the almost flawless spiritual plant, and admired it.

He walked to the truck and put them on the electronic scale: "Well... yours is relatively large. It's a little less than 500 grams. It's almost worth a pound to you."

After finishing speaking, he opened his mobile phone again and started to look up some information. While tapping the calculator next to him, he finally said: "Now the market is indeed in short supply. The quality of yours is good, and it costs [-] per pound. You can do it." "?" "Okay, of course." Jiang Simiao nodded quickly.

"Credit card or cash?" Sun Yali put the calculator aside.

"Transfer the money." Jiang Simiao touched his pocket, took out a card and handed it over. After all, it was hard to put away too much cash.

Now I am still worried about losing the more than 1000 yuan in cash I carry with me.

"Okay, then I'll write down the card number and forward it to you." Sun Yali took the card, wrote down the card number on his phone, and returned it to Jiang Simiao, "The total is 4800 yuan. It will be transferred to you before six o'clock tomorrow morning. you."

"Okay, okay, thank you." Jiang Simiao nodded.

"The things you want to sell can be placed directly in this shipping box. You don't have to come out at that time. I will directly help you sell them at the best market price and transfer the money to you before six o'clock the next morning. .”

"Also..." Sun Yali thought for a while and reminded the grandson of his old friend, "The spiritual energy here is relatively abundant, especially because it is close to the sea, there are inland lakes and rivers, and the fish resources are particularly rich. . Go to the fishing tackle shop on the beach and buy a fishing rod. It’s not impossible to catch some extraordinary fish with luck.”

"You can go and have a look tomorrow. The owner of the fishing gear shop just came back from outside yesterday. It seems that he made a lot of money and is currently having a big promotion."

Fishing?
His words just reminded Jiang Simiao that the money now including selling things is only more than 4000.

If possible, buying a fishing rod and selling it for fishing can indeed replace collecting as a source of income.

And maybe there’s also a collection series for fishing.

After all, Sun Yali still wanted to continue delivering goods. After saying this, he immediately got in the car. Before setting off, he saw that Jiang Simiao was still thinking. After thinking about it, he gave a final reminder to the rancher he was optimistic about.

"The economic value of these crops in spring is actually not very high. It doesn't matter if it is difficult at the beginning. As long as you can survive it, in summer, there will be many economic crops. Hops, star fruits and other things are used to make wine, whether it is light beer full of pastoral flavor. It’s still fruit wine with a strong fruity aroma, but it’s the favorite thing among people in the city.”

Hearing this, Jiang Simiao raised his eyebrows.

Oh boy, Stardew Valley Brewing Simulator, right?

But then he thought about it and shook his head slightly.

But that’s what I’m saying...it’s true that wine makes money quickly, but the liver is also a real liver.I mainly collect ranch illustrations.

There are 13 types of spring spiritual plants to collect alone, as well as some spring farming, spring craftsmen and so on.There are also 26 kinds of slimes that he hasn't figured out yet, so how can he spend so much time on brewing them.

But it might be nice to have an assistant.

If I meet a suitable pet animal, I don’t know if I can “trick” them into coming to the ranch.
Sun Yali smiled, "Anyway, when you have money, everything will be easier."

"Anyway, I look forward to your future development. Come on."

After saying that, the truck started buzzing and flew away under the illumination of the street lights.

When Jiang Simiao returned to the house, he found that the lights had been turned off.

However, as soon as he walked in the door, a small rustling sound suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Who?" Jiang Simiao stiffened and quickly turned his head.

"Meow."

Shi Lai suddenly turned on the light and looked at the nervous Jiang Simiao with a calm face.

"Huh..." Jiang Simiao breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with lingering fear, "Shi Lai, why don't you turn on the light?"

Shi Lai opened his dead fish eyes, and a flash of light flashed through his yellow vertical pupils, seeming to be speechless towards Jiang Simiao.

"That's right." Jiang Simiao came back to his senses, looked at Shi Lai who turned around, and asked hesitantly, "Well... Shi Lai, have you ever considered making a contract with me?"

Shi Lai turned his back to Jiang Simiao and did not respond, but his ears twitched slightly and stood up quietly.

The moonlight flows quietly into the room through the glass, and the paws hidden behind the back are moving restlessly.

Jiang Simiao didn't see it, and quickly explained: "After all, although I have no talent, I am not a combat beast master. But contracting with you will make it easier to communicate in the future."

"I think if I go out to explore in the future, you can help me manage the ranch. With the contract in place, we can contact each other more easily. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Jiang Simiao smiled softly. The moonlight shone on his face. He stretched out his hand towards Shi Lai, and the white light of the contract gradually glowed on his hand.

Shi Lai turned his head secretly and saw Jiang Simiao's eyes filled with anticipation. He sighed. The corner of his mouth just raised was suppressed by it again, and he walked over with a look of helplessness.

Jiang Simiao saw it clearly, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled brighter.

The big black plush paws gently held Jiang Simiao's hand, and the white light gradually illuminated the entire house.

One person and one cat raised their heads in unison and saw each other's figure in each other's eyes.

When the light dissipated, Shi Lai quickly withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and avoided Jiang Simiao's gaze.

"Hey, then this is considered a formal employment, my black cat butler."

Jiang Simiao, however, stretched out his hand and poked Shi Lai's belly with a wicked smile.

"Meow!" Shi Lai's body stiffened, his ears slowly flopped down, and he turned his head away, but his tail continued to circle.

"Meow……"
