Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 68 Duck Hot Pot, Delicious (Please continue reading on Tuesday)

He handed the medicine to Gu Lihuo.

Gu Lihuo immediately said that he wanted to go back to his family's ranch.

"By the way, next time a Pokémon gets sick, you can call me and I'll ride my Tropius over there."

Seeing that Gu Lihuo had come to see the doctor on foot this time, Su Yu said this.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lihu shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"Senior, it's not that I don't want to make a call, it's just that I'm so poor that I can't afford a cell phone anymore."

Is that really how it is?

Gu Lihuo's ranch doesn't seem to be too far from here. It does seem like it would be faster to come directly here.

"Oh well……"

"By the way, I noticed your sheep seem a bit weak. Would you like to order some goat milk from me to supplement their nutrition?"

Even when dealing with ranchers who came for medical treatment, Su Yu didn't forget to promote his own goat milk.

He had already figured it out; the Mare had probably been weak since birth, which explained its frail health and frequent illnesses. And such a weak and sickly Mare probably wouldn't produce much wool.

That's why Su Yu recommended his own goat milk. Only when the sheep's health improves can they produce more wool. And only when the sheep produce more wool will the situation at Gu Lihuo's ranch improve.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Gu Lihuo asked in surprise:

"Goat milk?"

"Yes, this is goat milk that is even more nutritious than Moo Moo fresh milk, and its quality is absolutely guaranteed."

"Moreover, it was born to my own lamb."

As he spoke, Su Yu pulled out a new test report. This was a new test he had done himself, not the one that Grandpa Liu had done before.

On this list, the nutritional value of the goat milk from the ride-along lamb has surpassed that of regular fresh milk.

This left Gu Lihuo dumbfounded. When did goat milk become more potent than Moo Moo fresh milk?

Trusting Su Yu, Gu Lihuo was somewhat tempted after some thought. However, he didn't have much money on hand at the moment.

"It's alright, you can place the order first. You can pay for the goat milk later when your ranch has the money." Su Yu said, seemingly guessing what Gu Lihuo meant.

This can be considered Su Yu's advance investment, a small help he can give to Gu Lihuo.

After using the goat's milk, Gu Lihuo will surely understand its amazing properties. When expanding the ranch, if there is a need for dairy products, Gu Lihuo will think of Su Yu's goat's milk first.

That was a pretty good GG.

Hearing Su Yu say that, Gu Lihuo felt it would be impolite not to buy it. So he immediately agreed.

"Okay, then I'll deliver the goat milk to you every morning from now on. Just remember to pick it up then."

As he spoke, Su Yu watched Gu Lihuo leave.

……

……

That evening.

After a busy day, the tropical dragons had cleared away all the snow around the cabin.

It looks like the snow is being cleared quickly. If we clear the snow from the farmland tomorrow, the ranch can be cultivated again.

When it got dark, Su Yu had already prepared dinner. Tonight's meal was a duck hot pot made with the duck he bought during the day, along with scallions grown by the duck and tofu.

After taking a sip of the duck soup, Su Yu felt all the fatigue from the day vanish. The scallions brought the whole bowl of soup to life.

Taking another bite of duck meat, it's clear that green onions and duck meat are a perfect match. No wonder so many people in the early days of the Pokémon world loved to eat green onion duck.

Hmm... I'll add this duck hot pot to my regular recipes from now on.

Thinking this, Su Yu glanced at the green onion duck.

"Gah...?"

Feeling a chill run down his spine, the chopsticks in Big Green Duck's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Duck quickly picked up the chopsticks. It looked at the chopsticks, hesitating whether to continue using them.

"Go get a new pair of chopsticks; don't use them if they're dirty," Su Yu said upon seeing this.

Since Farfetch'd doesn't eat duck meat, Su Yu prepared other Pokémon food for it.

After finishing his meal, Su Yu went to the television and, unusually, turned it on.

At this time of day, he would usually go back to his room to keep track of the accounts. But tonight, he didn't feel like doing it; he figured he could do it tomorrow anyway.

At that moment, the television seemed to be broadcasting a live report about the arrival of the Hoenn region.

Like most dungeons, after the Hoenn region descended, the entire mega-dungeon was shrouded in a spatial barrier, and only a few lucky people from the outside world were able to pass through this barrier and enter.

Similarly, very few people can come out from inside. It seems that only a few people with sufficient strength can pass through the barrier and come outside.

The information that reporters can report is also pitifully scarce. It seems that the authorities are also completely clueless about the Hoenn League, or perhaps... due to secrecy reasons, many things cannot be reported.

After watching for a while, Su Yu realized that the reporter actually knew less than he had learned from playing the game.

"...Never mind, let's change the channel. I guess there are some secrets that can't be reported yet, and you definitely won't know just by watching TV."

"However, it seems that both our Donghuang and neighboring Dongying are constantly sending people to try to enter the secret realm. I wonder which side will establish a good relationship with Hoenn first."

The arrival of a new, massive secret realm also signifies a reshuffling of regional power dynamics. Whichever side, Donghuang or Dongying, can establish a better relationship with the Hoenn Alliance will reap greater benefits and gain more cooperation with Hoenn.

I wonder if powers like Mega Evolution came with the arrival of the Hoenn region, or... whether the Devon Corporation still exists in this timeline.

Su Yu knew that Devon Corporation had many decent businesses, especially the establishment of the advanced space center in Green Ridge City, which Devon Corporation was said to have been involved in.

For the people of this world, the technology in that space center was quite advanced.

After watching TV for a while, Su Yu realized that there didn't seem to be any programs on TV that interested him.

He immediately gave the TV to the Pokémon and ran back inside to do his accounting.

……

……

Early the next morning.

As usual, Su Yu first milked the lambs he was riding when he got up early in the morning.

After diluting the goat milk, Su Yu dared to take a sip. If it weren't diluted, the energy contained in this goat milk might be comparable to that of an energy cube.

Energy cubes are specially formulated concentrated food designed for quick satiety. In the anime, just one energy cube is enough to fill Snorlax, who is usually a glutton.

This also shows how terrifying the milk produced by the lambs that you ride must be.

"However... your appetites have visibly increased..."

Looking at the rapidly depleting hay in the wooden warehouse next to them, I noticed that while the milk production of the mount lambs had increased, the hay consumption was also skyrocketing.

This is only because Su Yu makes a portion of the ranch into grass cakes every day. If he didn't do that, there wouldn't be enough grass cakes to eat.

"It seems we need to resume pasture planting as soon as possible."

"Moreover, we need to expand the planting scale, otherwise it simply won't be enough to meet the demand."

Su Yu thought to himself.

After diluting the goat milk to the appropriate concentration, Su Yu obtained nearly fifty bottles of goat milk. If each bottle of goat milk could be sold for 500 Alliance Coins, the production for just one day would be worth nearly 20,000 Alliance Coins.

This production volume represents a massive increase that is clearly visible to the naked eye.

"With the 200,000 Alliance Coins I had previously saved up, the construction of the new house should be completed soon."

With this thought in mind, Su Yu unknowingly set a goal for himself, and at this moment, he was still dreaming about the future.

—Once the new house is built, he and all his Pokémon will be able to live in a spacious and comfortable house, instead of being crammed into this cramped little house.

Living in such a small house, Su Yu felt increasingly depressed.
