My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 39 Hitchhiking

"Hello! I'm Chuangyi, a ranger from the Fengrao Town base. Do you have any products that need to be shipped today?"

Chuang Yi jumped off the truck and stepped into the fairytale ranch.

Besides his partner Patchlitz, he was accompanied by a familiar monster named Mighty.

"Kailly!"

"It rained yesterday so we didn't ship anything, but I think we must have a lot accumulated today. Let's have Guai Li go help you out."

Recalling Captain Guanglang's words before leaving, Chuangyi felt disdainful, thinking that the captain was too nosy.

I just heard from Renmei yesterday that this fairytale ranch is just starting out, and basically only one large milk tank is producing milk.

Even if no shipments are made in a day, how much can be accumulated? It's just turning one can of fresh milk into two cans. He can handle this kind of heavy work by himself.

Is anyone home?

"Here it comes!"

Tong Hua quickly ran out from behind the house and greeted Chuang Yi with a smile.

"You've come at the right time; everything is ready here."

Come in quickly.

Seeing that Tong Hua was covered in mud and grass clippings, Chuang Yi suddenly had a bad feeling.

Following Tong Hua to the back of the house, Chuang was stunned for a moment.

There were at least ten baskets of potatoes and several baskets of cabbage on the ground. Not only were there many baskets, but each basket was also quite heavy.

"Are all of these... products that are going to be shipped?"

"yes."

Tong Hua nodded, revealing two rows of teeth as she smiled.

"...Super Strength, could you please go to the car and bring the electronic scale over?"

"Kaili".

……

With superhuman strength, they brought over an electronic scale, and Tong Hua and Chuang began weighing the crops.

To ensure accurate weighing, the two of them and their Pokémon carefully cleaned the dirt off the potatoes before placing them basket by basket on the weighing platform.

"Heave-ho!"

As basket after basket of potatoes was weighed, Chuangyi recorded all the data.

"22...25...30..."

Basically, no basket of potatoes weighed less than 20 kilograms, and even Tong Hua was surprised by the yield of this batch of potatoes.

In the end, all the potatoes weighed a total of 243 kilograms. Tong Hua specially selected a 30-kilogram basket to keep and shipped out the rest.

"Wait a moment, let me check the manual. The purchase price for potatoes of this quality should be..."

Chuangyi took out a workbook from his pocket and flipped through it, quickly finding the section about Baron Potatoes.

"Each piece weighs over 300 grams, has a smooth surface, and is spherical in shape. This already meets the standards for a high-quality variety, and the guiding purchase price is..."

200 Union Coins per kilogram!

This was the first time Chuangyi had taken on the task of helping the ranch ship its goods, and therefore the first time he had come into contact with the standard of purchase price.

"200 Alliance Coins per kilogram, totaling 213 kilograms..."

Patchlitz, standing nearby, also started counting on its fingers, but it seemed to only be able to do arithmetic within ten.

"42,600 Alliance Coins, please accept them."

Chuangyi mechanically pulled out a wad of banknotes from the acquisition money given to him by the team leader. This amount of money was almost equivalent to half a month's salary for him.

You should know that he is a low-level patrolman in the Alliance, and his monthly salary is only 10 Alliance coins. If it weren't for the fact that the base provides food and accommodation, he wouldn't be able to save any money at all.

"Thank you." Tong Hua, of course, had no idea what Chuang Yi was thinking. He cheerfully accepted the banknotes. "Next up are cabbage and Moo Moo milk."

Chuang Yi took a deep breath, trying to maintain his professionalism: "Okay, let's continue..."

……

Half an hour later, along with 100 kilograms of spring cabbage and 30 liters of Moo Moo fresh milk, Tong Hua's income increased by nearly 1 Union Coins.

Tong Hua even left a basket of cabbage and half a can of Moo Moo fresh milk for her own use.

Afterwards, Machamp and Chuangyi started loading things onto the truck, and Tonghua and the Pokémon also helped with loading.

Tong Hua even took a break from her busy schedule to write down today's income in the back of her planting notebook.

Spring of the 112th year of the Alliance Calendar, May 11th.

Income: Potatoes +46200, Cabbage +5200, MooMoo Milk +4500

Total deposits: 167900 Alliance Coins.

"not bad!"

Looking at the numbers in her bank account, Tong Hua couldn't help but smile genuinely.

With so much money, the ranch's infrastructure plans can be upgraded.

Ever since Jessica complained about her bathroom yesterday, Tong Hua has quietly raised the priority of rebuilding a house on her to-do list.

I really want a fully equipped kitchen and a bedroom with air conditioning. I don't know how I'd survive in the summer without it.

Fortunately, summer is still a long way off. At least at the current rate of making money, we will definitely be able to build a new house with running water and electricity before summer!

"Kailly!"

Machamp lives up to its name; those four muscular, thick arms are said to each have the power to move mountains. With just one Pokémon, he almost completed all the moving work.

While they were busy loading crops onto trucks, the Pokémon in the fields were also busy. As soon as one batch of vegetables was harvested, a new batch of seeds was ready to be planted.

"Ama ama!"

Both cabbage and potatoes are crops that can only be harvested once. Tong Hua called on his three Pokémon, Turtle, Bubble Squirrel, and Sweet Bass, to help him cut the remaining cabbage seeds and some seed potatoes into small pieces and replant them in the ground.

As for the cabbage and potato stems and leaves left after harvesting, some of them were crushed and buried in the soil as fertilizer.

Tong Hua was worried that the organic fertilizer wouldn't be enough, so she added some nitrogen fertilizer that she had accumulated over the past few days to the soil.

"Game!" "Terrible!"

Just like last time, the three Pokémon jumped around in front, making a hole, Turtwig filled the hole with seeds, and finally, Squirrel covered it with soil to complete the planting.

As soon as one batch was harvested, the second batch was planted immediately. Tong Hua didn't know if doing this would damage the fields, but it was the perfect time for spring planting, and he didn't want to waste any time.

"Thank you all for your hard work!" Tong Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the fields that had been replanted, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Meanwhile, Souichi and Guai Li finally loaded all the goods onto the truck. Patchlitz was so exhausted that he collapsed onto the seat, panting with his tongue lolling out.

"I didn't expect your production volume to be so high..."

Souichi couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems that Captain Guanglang was right to have me bring Super Strength."

Tong Hua smiled sheepishly: "Actually, this is my first time farming. I didn't expect to harvest so much. It's all thanks to everyone's help."

Looking at how well Tong Hua and the Pokémon worked together, Chuang Yi suddenly felt a sense of admiration.

Although Fairy Tale Ranch is just starting out, Tong Hua's diligence and the Pokémon's efforts have already brought the place to life.

"Then the mission is complete, I'll take my leave now. See you next time." After saying that, Chuangyi turned around and was about to get into his car and leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Tong Hua quickly called out to Chuang Yi, carrying a lunch basket that had been prepared in advance, containing sandwiches he had prepared for lunch.

"Is there anything else?"

"If you don't mind, please try this."

Tong Hua smiled and handed the food basket to Chuang Yi, "These are sandwiches I made myself. Please try them, Guai Li and Patch Liz."

Chuang Yi was taken aback and took the food basket with some surprise.

Lifting the lid reveals several neatly arranged golden and crispy sandwiches, filled with fresh salad and scattered fried eggs, emitting a delightful aroma.

"This...you're too kind." Chuangyi was a little embarrassed, but his stomach rumbled loudly. He then realized that he hadn't eaten properly since he started working early in the morning.

"Try it!" Tong Hua said enthusiastically.

Chuangyi stopped refusing and picked up a sandwich, taking a bite. The soft bread, sweet berries, and smooth scrambled eggs blended together in his mouth, making him widen his eyes involuntarily.

"Delicious!" he exclaimed sincerely. "You two should try some!"

Chuang handed a sandwich to Pachirisu and Machamp, and the two Pokémon also enjoyed it with happy expressions.

Seeing everyone enjoying their meal, Tong Hua felt a warmth in her heart.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Um...Chuangyi, there's something else I'd like to ask you for help with."

"Huh? What is it?" Souichi asked, his mouth full of sandwiches.

"Could you give me a ride? I'd like to go to the village to buy some things."

Chuangyi swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded readily: "No problem! There are still seats in the cockpit, I'll give you a ride."

"Great!" Tong Hua clapped her hands happily, then turned to the grass turtles and called out, "I'm going to buy some things. You three, take good care of the house!"

"Game!" "Terrible!" "Ama!"

Upon hearing this, the three Pokémon reacted differently, with only Sedum willing to stay on the ranch and continue tending to the fields.

The grass turtle and the foam squirrel immediately ran to Tong Hua's feet and looked at him with expectant eyes.

"As expected... then let's go together." Tong Hua squatted down helplessly and patted the heads of the two Pokémon.

"Let's go!" Chuang Yi called to Tong Hua to get in the truck. Tong Hua, with the two little ones in tow, jumped into the passenger seat of the truck.

With the roar of the engine, the truck slowly drove away from Fairy Tale Ranch and headed towards Chicory Village.

As Tong Hua gazed at the receding scenery outside the window, she began to plan what to buy.
