Chapter 43 Milking Goats

Upon seeing Anjie, the little lambs on their mounts immediately cheered and ran to Anjie's side.

"Meow~ Meow~" Anjie, Anjie, you're here.

"Meow~ Meow~" Anjie, what delicious treats did you bring us today?

"Mwah~ Mwah~" It's a tomato! I love tomatoes the most.

"Meow~ Meow~" I love cucumbers, tender and crisp cucumbers are the best!

……

The lambs rubbed affectionately against Anjie, making the goats look at them with disdain.

Clearly, Anjie's efforts over the past few days had not been in vain. Although the goats hadn't had much contact with him, the little goats had become completely familiar with him.

They love eating the vegetables from Anjie's house. Compared to dry, bland grass, crisp and juicy vegetables are definitely more delicious.

"Don't rush, don't rush, there's plenty, there's plenty." Anjie distributed the vegetables he brought to his little lambs.

"Mwah~ Mwah~" It's so delicious, so very delicious.

The little lambs were eating the vegetables that Anjie had brought with gusto.

"Here, try this radish. It's very crisp and delicious." Anjie handed a plump, white radish, thicker and longer than an adult's arm, to the mouth of one of the little lambs she was riding.

"Awoo~~"

The little lamb, when ridden in the evening, has a crisp and juicy texture that makes it irresistible.

(*≧▽≦) "Mwah~~" It's so delicious! It's sweet.

A white radish was too big, so Anjie broke it in two and fed it to the two little lambs she was riding. Then she took out a red radish the size of a baby's fist.

"Come on, try this one too, it's delicious," Anjie said.

These tiny radishes are so small that your little lamb mount can eat one in one bite.

Unlike the crisp and sweet white radish, this red radish has a firmer texture and a slightly spicy taste, offering a different flavor altogether.

"Snap~ Snap~~"

The crisp chewing sound came from the lamb's mouth, and its delighted expression showed that it also liked carrots.

O(≧▽≦)O It's delicious, I love it!

Seeing the little lambs eating so heartily, some of the mountain goats subconsciously swallowed. They looked at the thick grass beneath them and suddenly found it less appetizing.

"Go~go~~" Mr. Anjie, you bring delicious vegetables here every day. What is your purpose? Please tell me directly.

After a long while, the riding goats finally couldn't hold back any longer. After a commotion, a riding goat that was stronger and taller than the other riding goats slowly walked out of the herd and called out to Anja a few times.

Anjie knew that this was the leader of the riding goats and riding lambs.

Although he couldn't understand what the goat leader was saying, he could roughly guess what it meant.

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Anjie thought he could try to discuss it with the goats he was riding, so he said directly, "I want to cooperate with you."

"Go~" Collaboration?

The leader of the goat mounts looked at Anjie with a puzzled expression.

Anjie continued, "I noticed your little lambs really like the vegetables from my farm. How about I trade you some vegetables for your goat milk?"

Upon hearing Anjie's words, the leader of the goat mounts fell into deep thought; it was indeed very tempted by the proposal.

Both male and female goats used as mounts are capable of producing milk, and they only nurse their young lambs with milk during the initial hatching stage. Once this period is over, the young lambs will graze like their mounts.

At this time, the excess milk will be trapped in their bodies, making them very uncomfortable, so they often help other Pokémon nurse their babies.

The number of newborns on the Konibel Plateau is not high each year, and still cannot consume their surplus milk.

If we could exchange goat milk for delicious vegetables, that would certainly be a good idea.

"Go~go~" Are you really going to trade vegetables for our goat milk?

The goat he was riding confirmed it again.

"Do you agree?" Anjie asked as well.

Seeing that Anjie was sincere, the goat returned to the herd and discussed the matter with everyone. When it returned again, it gently nodded to Anjie.

Mr. Ange is already a part of the Nibel Plateau. Since it's beneficial to both sides, why not agree?

"Great!" Anjie jumped up with joy.

Seeing Anjie so happy, the leader of the goat mounts couldn't help but smile as well.

"Meow~ Meow~" Will we be able to eat Anjie's vegetables every day from now on?

"Baa~ Baa~" That's great! That's great!

……

At this moment, the little lambs on his mounts all gathered around and started bleating at once. Since Anjie couldn't understand their language, he could only talk to them in a nonsensical way.

"Oh right, should I... try learning how to milk a goat?" Anjie suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

So he tried to discuss it with the leader of the goat mounts to see if he could try it out first, and the goat mounts readily agreed.

Before long, a robust female mountain goat slowly emerged from the herd. This was the most milk-producing mother goat in the herd, and her baby goat had just been weaned and was feeling uncomfortable.

"Go~~"

The leader of the goat mounts bellowed, signaling to Ange that they could begin.

Anjie walked to the mother sheep's side, reaching out her hand and then withdrawing it, unsure of where to begin.

Actually, it wasn't just Anjay who was nervous; the goat mother was too. She was very experienced at feeding Pokémon babies, but this was her first time being milked.

Suddenly, Anjie slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "That's right! I can buy a tutorial from the system store first!"

He opened the system store, clicked on the search bar, and quickly found his target.

"A Guide to Milking Goats - You'll Learn It in No Time!" Hmm... a title that's hard to describe.

Anjie flipped through the tutorial and studied it carefully. She was surprised to find that there was so much to learn about milking.

Anjie nodded as she watched, indicating that she had learned something new.

Mmm~~ You should massage your breasts before expressing milk, as this can promote milk flow.

You also need to imitate the movement of a lamb rubbing its milk, but the movement should be gentle.

The force used when milking is very important; the techniques of pressing, squeezing, and holding are also very particular.

……

After studying for a while, Anjie closed the book, took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, bought a small bucket from the system store, and placed it under the mother sheep.

"I want to start!" Angie said to the mother sheep.

"Go~"

The mother sheep nodded. During the time that Anjie had been reading and studying, the sheep had also prepared itself mentally.

Following the instructions in the book, Anjie gently grasped the mother sheep's nipples and began to massage them softly.

The mother sheep didn't feel ashamed; in fact, they didn't think that having their private parts touched was something to be ashamed of. Otherwise, they wouldn't have helped the other Pokémon on the plateau to nurse their young.

Anjie's massage technique actually made the mother sheep feel very comfortable. She felt that the meridians there were beginning to flow smoothly and warmly, which was quite wonderful.

After massaging for a while, feeling that it was about time, Anjie began to officially express milk.

He first used his thumb and forefinger to hold the base of the nipple to prevent the milk from flowing back, and then pressed his middle, ring, and little fingers against his palm in turn. The milky white milk immediately turned into a stream of water and fell into the bucket, emitting a faint fragrance.

It worked!

Anjie was secretly delighted; she hadn't expected him to have such strong learning and practical abilities!

With the excess milk squeezed out, the mother sheep felt her physical burden immediately lightened.

The mother goat's milk was indeed plentiful; soon the small bucket was filled to the brim with fresh grass and goat milk.

Just then, the little Snorlax, who was playing with the little sheep, returned and sniffed the bucket.

"Just now?" Something delicious?

As it spoke, it stuck its finger into the bucket and then quickly stuffed it into its mouth.

"Smells so good!"

The little Snorlax's eyes lit up instantly.

Anjie slapped it angrily, "Unhygienic! So impatient?"

The little Snorlax knew that Angie was going to make milk-flavored steamed buns with grass and goat milk, and it had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Gang~ Gang~~" Hehe~~~

After being slapped by its master, Munchlax wasn't angry at all. Instead, it hugged its master's waist and kept acting cute.

Anjie smiled helplessly and pinched its chubby cheeks hard as punishment.

However... smelling the fragrant aroma of grass and goat milk, he couldn't resist dipping his index finger in and putting a little bit into his mouth.

The moment he tasted it, he was amazed by the unique taste of the grass goat milk. Its milk aroma was very rich, with no fishy smell at all, and a light and elegant grass fragrance. The taste was also very mellow and long-lasting, with a lingering aftertaste and milky aroma that did not dissipate for a long time.

Absolutely amazing!

Seeing its master secretly tasting grass and goat milk just like it did, the little Snorlax covered its mouth and laughed, thinking that Ange couldn't see it.

Anjie put a bucket of grass and goat milk into his system inventory and said to the goat leader, "Then I will officially start milking tomorrow. You can come to my house to pick up vegetables every noon. I will prepare them in advance."

Also, you're welcome to come to my house for breakfast in the morning. Not only are my vegetables delicious, but my steamed buns and mantou are also very tasty!

The leader of the goat mounts nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then Anjac and Munchlax went home together with the empty basket.

"We can't go back too late today, or Diancie will get angry," Ange said to Snorlax as they walked.

"G- ...

Little Snorlax nodded in agreement very seriously.

As the master and apprentice walked, they suddenly seemed to hear a commotion coming from somewhere.

"What's wrong?"

"Ya-lo~ Ya-lo~~"

Just then, the little finches flew over anxiously and landed on Anjie's shoulder, chirping and waving their arms and legs. It was unclear what they were saying, but something must have happened.

"Ya-lo~ Ya-lo~~"

The little finches pointed eagerly in one direction with their wings.

Anjie quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll go take a look right away."

As he spoke, he took Snorlax and followed the direction indicated by Finch. Before long, they saw a large group of Pokémon gathered together: Finch's parents, Bellsprout's parents, Swabbit's parents, Meowth, Diggs, Vivavo, Lidcat, and so on... They were all there, and they seemed to be surrounding something.

When Anjie got closer, he saw that what everyone was aggressively surrounding was a small flying vehicle, on which sat Himeya, Raquel, Flamel, and Sylveon.

Upon seeing An Jie appear, Ji Meiya excitedly waved to him, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Please save us!"

The Pokémon were equally excited to see Ange arrive, and they all gathered around, chattering amongst themselves.

However, it is clear that they do not welcome humans other than Ange on the Nibel Plateau.

Anja quickly said to the Pokémon, "Everyone, be quiet, don't get agitated. They're my friends, they just came to visit me. Go away, it's alright, it's alright!"

Hearing this, the Pokémon gradually dispersed.

"Remember to come to my house for dinner tomorrow!" Anjie called out to everyone.

Ji Meiya and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Heaven knows, the moment they flew into the Nibel Plateau, they were surrounded and intercepted by this group of Pokémon, and almost crashed their plane.

In fact, with Sylveon's strength, it could have easily resolved the crisis, but Himeya stopped it, as resorting to force would only escalate the conflict.

Fortunately, Anjie arrived in time.

Seeing Himeya and the others disembark from the aircraft, Ange quickly approached with her Munchlax, asking, "What brings you here?"

Himeya said with a smile, "I've been planning to visit your place for a while, but I haven't had the time. I didn't expect the Pokémon on the Nibel Plateau to be so...so...'enthusiastic'."

Anja explained to her, "Most of the Pokémon here have been harmed by humans, so they don't welcome humans. Don't blame them."

Ji Meiya suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. No wonder." She said embarrassedly, "We were too presumptuous to come without telling you."

"But they listen to His Highness Angel," Rachel said. "His Highness is truly amazing."

Anjie smiled and ruffled his fluffy head, saying, "I've lived here for a long time and have become a part of this place. Of course everyone knows me. We're friends."

"It's admirable that you can make friends with so many Pokémon. Your Highness is truly remarkable," Flamel said, adjusting her glasses.

"Fia~Fia~~" Your Highness has changed, that's wonderful.

Sylveon chimed in, though no one understood what it was saying.

"Alright, since you're here, come home with me. I'm planning to try making some new dishes tonight, you're in for a treat!" Anjie said with a smile.

"Really?" Rachel's eyes lit up with anticipation.

"Of course it's true, let's go." With that, Anjie led everyone toward her home.

Upon arriving at An Jie's house and looking at the exquisite little building before her, Ji Meiya exclaimed in surprise, "Is this His Highness's residence?"

No wonder His Highness kept emphasizing that his accommodations were quite nice; it really were! She had thought His Highness was exaggerating to avoid worrying them.

"Yeah, let's hurry up."

Anjie warmly welcomed everyone inside.

"You're back...?" Diancie's expression shifted from surprise to delight upon seeing the group of people following Angel. "Your Highness, Your Highness, Miss Flamel, and Sylveon, what brings you all here?"

Ji Meiya and the others greeted Diancie.

"Please have a seat," Tianxi warmly invited everyone to sit down.
