Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 69 New Year's Eve (Please read on Tuesday)

He rode a tropical dragon to deliver goat milk.

Currently, Su Yu has a dozen or so regular customers in the pastoral area who order goat milk from her. Some customers don't necessarily order every day.

The reason there are so few customers is that the production capacity of the little sheep mounts wasn't high enough before. On a good day, they could produce a dozen or so bottles. On a bad day, they would only produce eight or nine bottles, so they could only supply a few customers.

But now, the lambs have undergone a transformation, and their milk production has increased significantly. Under these circumstances, Su Yu started promoting the product in the ranchers' groups in the pastoral area, hoping to find someone who needed high-quality goat milk.

Immediately, four or five ranchers came to Su Yu's door, wanting to order goat milk.

This is obviously very small compared to the number of ranchers in the pastoral areas. However, it makes sense, as many ranchers in the pastoral areas raise their own lambs, so it's normal that they don't need goat milk.

"It seems I still need to go to town to promote it," Su Yu thought to himself.

Only in towns is there such a large demand for goat milk.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was riding a tropical dragon and delivering goat milk to several households.

Immediately afterwards, Tropical Dragon led Su Yu to the electronics store in town.

The owner of this appliance store has been ordering goat milk for several days now.

The owner of the electronics store witnessed the entire transformation of the goat milk produced by Su Yu's Ranch, from ordinary high-quality goat milk at the beginning to miraculous goat milk that could cure stubborn diseases caused by aging.

This greatly surprised the appliance store owner. Had Su Yu's little lamb taken some kind of magic potion? How could the quality of its goat milk improve so quickly?

Moreover... this is an old-age disease that even healing techniques cannot cure. It is completely different from treatment after injury; it is a disease caused by the aging of the body.

Su Yu's goat milk can even cure this kind of age-related disease. After drinking this goat milk for a few days, the appliance store owner felt that his body was much better than before, and his arms were stronger.

His body, which was originally skin and bones, gradually started to look more fleshy.

Upon seeing Su Yu this time, the appliance store owner recounted the changes he had experienced over the past few days and said:

"Your goat milk is so amazing... if you advertised it, I'm afraid many middle-aged and elderly people would want it. And you're only selling it for 500 Alliance Coins, isn't that a bit too cheap?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that his family's goat milk would have such effects. He had originally thought it was merely for improving health.

But now it seems... it really does have a slight ability to prolong life.

"It really is... Little Zergnas?"

Su Yu knew that Xerneas possessed the ability to grant others eternal life, and the milk from his mount, the lamb, seemed to possess some rudimentary form of this ability. However, for now, it could only strengthen the body.

It seems that selling goat milk to middle-aged and elderly people is a good sales channel, and we can look forward to it in the future.

As for the price... well, there's still some overcapacity in goat milk production, so let's just keep the current price for now and consider it a promotional measure.

Su Yu thought this way, and that's what he said to the owner of the electronics store.

Upon hearing this, the appliance store owner nodded hesitantly, seemingly surprised that Su Yu would say such a thing.

"By the way, today is New Year's Eve, and I didn't know what to give you. Luckily, a fisherman came by this morning to sell the fish he caught, so I'll give you this one."

As if remembering something, the electronics store owner returned to the store and brought over a fish.

Eating fish on Lunar New Year's Eve symbolizes abundance year after year, which is a very auspicious meaning.

After receiving the fish from the appliance store owner, Su Yu looked at it and chuckled, saying:

"You call this fish? It's nowhere near as good as the fish I have back home."

"Boss, remember to look for me next time you buy fish, my fish is the best!"

"You raise fish there?" the appliance store owner asked in surprise.

His understanding of Su Yu was limited to the smartphones and milking machines he had bought; he never imagined that Su Yu's ranch business was so extensive.

This is only a two-month-old ranch, right? What kind of fish can it possibly raise?

The boss was somewhat skeptical, but he eventually nodded and replied:

"Okay, I've got it."

……

……

I rode the tropical dragon back to the ranch.

Su Yu had the caterpillar spin another web. This time, the web was finer; it was meant to be used to transport scallions.

The fishing nets that were previously used for catching fish were now too big to be used for transporting scallions. Therefore, Su Yu needed a new net.

Fortunately, the caterpillars have grown recently, and they are spinning their webs much faster than before. In less than two hours, a web much denser than the last one was completed.

It should be fine to use it to hold scallions.

"Thank you for your hard work, Caterpie. I'll make you some food to help you recover later."

Su Yu patted the green caterpillar lying sprawled to the side, seemingly "completely drained," and said this.

Then, Su Yu asked the scallion duck to come and help, and together they put the scallions into the net.

Then, Su Yu tied the net to the tropical dragon's body, patted the dragon, and signaled it to take off.

This time, Su Yu didn't go with the tropical dragon to deliver the scallions to the restaurant. The tropical dragon knew the way, so he could just let it deliver them itself.

Back inside, Alcremie was feeding the ducklings in the cage, while Growlithe was playing with Wooloo and the others.

Looking at the things stored in the refrigerator, it seems we bought enough for the New Year a few days ago. Now, all we need to do is prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

However, the house seems to need a cleaning. Although it's a new house, it's the Lunar New Year, so there should be some sense of ritual to get rid of the old and welcome the new. A cleaning is a good idea.

"Why don't we let the Alcremie and the others do the big clean-up?" Su Yu thought to himself.

So he poked his head out from behind the refrigerator door and called out to the Alcremie and the others:

"I assume everyone is free? Today is New Year's Eve, and I happen to have something to tell you all."

"Mama?"

"Awoo~?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Alcremie and Growlithe looked over, and Su Yu explained the New Year's Eve customs to them, saying that he would entrust the task of cleaning to them.

Alcremie immediately took on the task with great enthusiasm, and Growlithe also agreed without hesitation.

The giant green onion duck standing to the side exudes a kind of corporate slave's dejection. It's already working hard for its boss growing green onions, so why should it have to help with the big clean-up...?

However, when the big cleaning officially began, Farfetch'd perked up. Alcremie entrusted it with cleaning the cobwebs in the corners; after all, it could fly and was carrying a green onion, so cleaning cobwebs should be its specialty, right?

Immediately, the green onion duck went to find a bag, put the green onion on it, and began to clean the spider web.

This stalk of green onion was the same one Su Yu had given it before, so it wasn't particularly distressed to use it.

After explaining everything, Su Yu returned to the kitchen. He began to think about what to eat that night.

How about... we make a festive snack first – crispy fried pork?
