Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 81 Fence

"Proud Swallow, could you please have the Great Swallow come over here?"

After lunch, Chiba Kaede spoke to the proud swallow perched on a branch of the big tree in front of his house.

This Swellow is essentially a messenger for Chiba Farm. Whenever Chiba Maple needs it, she sends it to notify the other Pokémon.

This was also arranged by Chiba Kaede to effectively prevent him from running himself ragged. After all, the farm is so big that it would be a waste of time to let him go looking for it on his own.

He now trains most of his Pokémon himself, and even Machop, which just arrived at the farm yesterday, went to train with Heracross early this morning.

Aside from Gastly hiding in the shadows, only a little chick circled around Chiba Kaede, which brought him a lot of fun while he was working in the morning, making the work less boring.

Before long, the Great Swallow appeared in the sky. As a messenger for the farm, the Great Swallow was one of the fastest in its kind, which is why it was able to notify the Great Swallow in such a short time.

"Your Majesty Yan, I need your help to take me to Kaina City."

Chiba Kaede said to the giant swallow that had landed.

Da Wang Yan readily agreed. As the trainer's number one horse, it was quite self-aware. It could be a little temperamental on ordinary days, but it would never shirk its responsibilities when it came to important matters.

"Yuri, I'll leave the farm in your care for now. I'll be back soon!"

Chiba Kaede said to Terada Yuri, who had followed her.

"Leave the farm to me. Have a safe trip, boss!"

Terada Yuri smiled and agreed.

Chiba Kaede picked up Torchic and climbed onto Swellow's back. The little chick wanted to experience the feeling of flying in the air, so it strongly requested that its trainer not put it back into its Poké Ball.

As the giant swallow took off, the turkey squirmed excitedly in Chiba Kaede's arms. It was clear that it did not have a fear of heights and thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of flying high in the sky.

Unfortunately, although Torchic is a chick, its final evolution, Blaziken, cannot fly. At most, it can easily jump into the air because of its strong legs, but this is only a temporary suspension.

Using the full speed of Swellow's flight, it only took them a little over 10 minutes to land on the plaza in Slateport City, which is specially designated for flying Pokémon to land.

After arriving at the department store with ease, Chiba Kaede found a sales assistant and explained her need to buy a large milk tank breast pump. She then led her to a shop on the fifth floor.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The speaker was the shop owner, who immediately greeted Chiba Kaede warmly upon seeing her being brought over by the saleswoman.

"Hello boss, I'd like to buy a machine for milking large milk tanks. Do you sell any here?"

Chiba Kaede asked.

"Of course, I have demo units in my shop. You can come and take a look."

After hearing what Chiba Kaede wanted to buy, the shopkeeper led him to a corner where a machine was placed.

"Our milking machine is very advanced. Many large dairy farms in the vicinity come to purchase it. Each machine can milk five large dairy farms at the same time, which is much more efficient than manual milking. Moreover, the milking force is moderate and will not harm the dairy farms."

The boss introduced his company's machines to Chiba Kaede as if they were his own treasures.

Chiba Kaede carefully examined the machine in front of her. It was a machine about the height of a person. There were five pipes in front of the machine, with round, transparent flexible tubes at the ends of the pipes. There was a water outlet at the back of the machine, and a metal bucket underneath it, used to hold the fresh milk that had been squeezed out.

After careful observation, Chiba Kaede was very satisfied with the machine and immediately decided to buy it.

"Boss, how much does this machine cost?"

Chiba Kaede inquired.

"I can see you're genuinely interested in buying, so I'll give you a discount. It'll be a flat rate of 3 Alliance Coins, and I'll even throw in a few large metal buckets for fresh milk. What do you think?"

The boss smiled and gave his quote.

"Sure, but you'll need to send someone to deliver the machine to our Chiba farm. Is that alright?"

Chiba Kaede thought the boss's price was reasonable, so he didn't haggle. However, he definitely wanted the other party to help deliver the goods to the farm, otherwise the machine looked very heavy and he wouldn't be able to move it himself.

"Of course, I guarantee it will be delivered to you within 3 days."

The boss readily agreed. With such a large and heavy machine, how could anyone buy it without door-to-door delivery?

After leaving the store, Chiba Kaede didn't leave immediately. After deducting the 30,000 Alliance Coins, he still had more than 100,000 Alliance Coins left. He planned to do some shopping before going back.

First, he went to the shop that sells TM discs and bought the Protect TM disc and the Substitute TM disc. These two TM discs are quite common and most Pokémon can learn them. He spent a total of 2 League Coins.

After that, he purchased some Ultra Balls and Great Balls as backup. He also paid some attention to the Pokémon items, but their prices were a bit expensive for him at the moment.

He had originally planned to leave after buying these items, but he stopped in his tracks when he saw a bookstore selling knowledge about Pokémon.

After entering the bookstore, Chiba Kaede stayed inside for most of the hour before walking out with a satisfied smile, clearly having gained a lot.

After leaving the department store, Chiba Kaede looked at his phone and saw that his bank account balance had decreased by one digit. Suddenly, he had no other thoughts but to hurry back to his family farm and start a business, working hard to increase his phone balance so that he could stand tall again.

The return journey went smoothly. This round trip was hardly a warm-up for the Great Swallow. After dropping off Chiba Maple and the chicks at its doorstep, it flapped its wings and flew back to its own territory. It still had to continue training its little brother!

Chiba Kaede arrived at the backyard and found it bustling with activity; most of the backyard was already surrounded by a fence as tall as a person.

"Boss, you're back!"

Terada Yuri, who was talking to a middle-aged man in the backyard, spotted Chiba Kaede and excitedly called out.

"Yes, something came up and I got back a little late."

Chiba Kaede replied.

"Let me introduce you. This is Uncle Henry, and this is his partner, Howie."

"Hello, young man, I never imagined you'd become a farmer at such a young age. That's truly remarkable!"

Uncle Henry had a hearty voice and a strong physique; in appearance, he was almost as tough as his partner, Howl.

"Uncle Henry, you and Hawley work together so well, and you've already completed most of the fence in such a short time!"

Chiba Kaede looked at Howl, who was carrying a large amount of wooden fencing from a car in the distance, and Henry, who was quickly installing the fencing, and said something.

"Haha, young man, you have a good eye! Haoli and I have been working together for many years. I dare say that no one in Chunhua Town can do it better or faster than me!"

Uncle Henry was clearly pleased with Chiba Kaede's compliment and said happily.

As for whether what Uncle Henry said was true or not, Chiba Kaede wouldn't dwell on it; in any case, his work efficiency was quite satisfactory.

after an hour,

"Young man, I'm leaving now. If there are any problems with the fence, please contact me immediately, and I'll fix it for you!"

After saying goodbye to Uncle Henry and Chiba Kaede, Uncle Henry drove away in his own pickup truck.

After seeing Uncle Henry off, Chiba Kaede returned to the backyard and was very happy to see that it was now surrounded by a white fence. These fences would prevent other people or elves from accidentally entering and causing damage.

Of course, the necessary guards will still be arranged, after all, Chiba Maple has high hopes for these three plants.

The construction of the fence in the backyard cost Chiba Maple a total of 1 Alliance Coins. Although his wallet was shrunken again, he wasn't too upset.

In addition to selling Mare sheep wool, their farm now produces 80 liters of fresh milk every day.

The town's agricultural and livestock product merchant, Moriko Takayuki, would send someone to collect the milk every day. He would buy the fresh milk produced by the large milk tank at a price of 40 Union Coins per liter.

Don't think this price is low. Although the bottled Moo Moo milk sold in the store costs 100 Union Coins per liter, it still requires many processing steps to turn the fresh milk produced by the large milk tank into the Moo Moo milk sold in the store.

Based on this calculation, Chiba Farm can earn nearly 10 Alliance Coins per month just from selling fresh milk, which far exceeds the income from selling Mare sheep wool.
