Pokémon: Start with a Pokémon Ranch

Chapter 79 Fish Pond Planning
Seeing Squirtle finish all the work on the farm in one go, Su Yu felt mixed.

At this time, Squirtle raised the plate in his hand and motioned for Su Yu to take the tea on it.

"Jenny Jenny~" The boss drinks tea, thank you for your hard work!
"...It's not hard work, I just went out to deliver goat milk." Hearing this, Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile.

In response to Squirtle's words, Su Yu also picked up a cup of tea on the tray and took a sip.

Hmm...it tastes pretty good, but this tea...it doesn't seem to be from home, right?
Su Yu looked at Squirtle.

Seeing this, Squirtle chuckled and said:

"Jenny Jenny~!" I couldn't find the tea at home, so I used the tea I brought myself.

Hearing this, Su Yu understood.I almost forgot, this Squirtle was a fire captain before, so he must have some savings.

It should be a basic operation to bring some tea or something yourself.

At this time, the green caterpillar also came back from training in the back mountain.After seeing Squirtle, it asked Su Yu doubtfully:
"Sssssssss?" Is this the new Pokémon in the ranch?
"Yes, it was hired by me to help us with aquaculture." Su Yu replied.

Seeing this, Squirtle also smiled and stretched out a hand towards the green caterpillar, as if he wanted to shake hands with the green caterpillar.

However, the green caterpillar didn't seem to know what this meant. It looked at Su Yu, who explained:

"It's called a handshake, and it's a way for humans to express friendship, and it can also be used when meeting someone for the first time."

"Just hold out your hand and shake it."

"Uh-huh." Hearing this, the green caterpillar stretched out one of its abdominal legs, and Squirtle's hand immediately reached forward and shook it slightly.

"Jenny Jenny~" Hello, please give me more advice in the future.

Seeing this, Su Yu also roughly saw the character of this Squirtle.It turns out... this is a social cow.

But that’s fine, because what I happen to lack in my pasture are social cattle.Green Caterpillar, Tropical Dragon, Frost Milk Fairy, Green Onion Duck, they all seem not to be very good at dealing with outsiders.

Strictly speaking, it can all be attributed to social fear.

And with Squirtle, if I leave the ranch for anything in the future, I can leave the ranch to Squirtle to take care of it.

Even if we let him be responsible for discussing business with Grandpa Liu when Grandpa Liu comes, maybe Squirtle will be able to do well. This is caused by Squirtle's own character.

After Squirtle and the green caterpillar finished saying hello, Su Yu said:

"Okay, you should say hello to the other Pokémon in the room, right?"

"If that's the case, then we should talk about business. Do you have any ideas about aquaculture in that lake?"

The reason why he wanted to recruit someone with aquaculture experience was because Su Yu knew nothing about this aspect.

And if Squirtle can pass the manager's interview, it obviously means something, otherwise the manager wouldn't have passed.

After hearing Su Yu's words, Squirtle motioned Su Yu to wait a moment.After he returned to the hut and took off his apron, he took a piece of paper and wrote and drew on it.

Seeing this, Su Yu followed him. He looked at the patterns drawn by Squirtle and said doubtfully:
"Are you... drawing a design?"

"Squirtle." Squirtle nodded.

However, the design drawings drawn by Squirtle were not marked with numbers or text at all. They were all represented by icons that looked like children's simple drawings.

After finishing Squirtle's painting, Su Yu picked it up and looked at it carefully for a long time before he understood the meaning.

"You mean, dig some breeding ponds around the lake and breed fish in the breeding ponds?" Su Yu asked doubtfully. "Squirrel, Jenny~!" Hearing this, Squirtle nodded.

For artificially cultured fish, the final breeding density in the water body must be higher than that of free-range fish.And in this way, it is easy to pollute the water body in the lake, and even hinder the life of the Pokémon in the lake.

Therefore, in Squirtle's opinion, digging a breeding pond is the best solution.The lake itself is used as a home for Pokémon such as Bigtongue, and some breeding ponds are dug to divert water from the lake to breed fish.

This not only ensures that the lake water is not polluted and the Pokémon in the lake can live freely, but also enables high-density artificial breeding and harvests a large number of fish.

After all...the value of the pearls produced by the oysters in that lake is also not low, and they should be given a better living environment.

Hearing this, Su Yu roughly understood what Squirtle meant. This was a good idea.

He had never thought before that when the density of fish in the lake increased, it would pollute the water body.

"How many breeding ponds will be dug?" Su Yu asked curiously.

"Jenny Jenny..." This depends on how many fish you want to raise, boss.

When he said this, Squirtle scratched his head.

After all... raising fish is not difficult for it. As long as the surrounding environment is suitable, you can raise as many fish as you want.

But what is certain is that digging a breeding pond is definitely a big project. After all... the breeding pond that needs to be dug must be very large.

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded and said:

"I understand."

"Wait a minute, I'll contact the engineering team first. For such a big job, just relying on the Pokémon in our ranch shouldn't be enough."

With that said, Su Yu turned on her phone and clicked on Meila's contact information.

I haven’t contacted Meila for a long time. After all, I haven’t had any projects to do recently, and I don’t know how Meila is doing.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Meila was moving bricks with the monsters at the construction site when her cell phone suddenly rang in her pocket.

Since Su Yu's place was gone, Meila, Guai Li and the others had been able to survive for about a month with the meager profits earned from Su Yu's place.

After that, they have been in a state of lifelessness.With so little money left in her hand, Meila didn't dare to spend it randomly, so she could only wait quietly for a new job to come to her door.

Recently, it was really hard to hold on any longer, so Meila ran out with Guai Li and the others and found some work at the construction site.Fortunately, the foreman here is pretty good, at least he still gets paid.

But for this kind of physical work, with the emergence of a large number of fighting-type Pokémon, the salary has already dropped to a very low level, and you can almost make ends meet.

Compared with the profits earned from contracting projects alone, it is simply incomparable.

At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.At this time, apart from family members, the only person who could call Meila was probably boss Su Yu.

Putting down the bricks and taking out her phone, Meila was delighted when she saw the note on it.She immediately answered the phone and said happily:

"boss?!"

"Well..." Su Yu coughed when Meila was so excited.Then, he said in a deep voice:

"I have a job here to dig fish breeding ponds, and I'm a bit short of manpower. I wonder if you have time?"
