Pokémon: Start with a Pokémon Ranch

Chapter 44 Something happened to the green onions of the Green Scallion Duck?

Early the next morning.

Together, Su Yu went to the fields to see if any crops had been frozen.

The sudden drop in temperature last night ruined all Su Yu's planting plans in the farmland. And with the subsequent continuous cooling, many crops can no longer be planted.

Now it seems that we can save as much as we can.

Fortunately, the medicinal materials are still in good condition, but we must take measures to keep them warm as soon as possible.

Su Yu thought so.

After working in the fields for a long time, he added measures to keep the medicinal materials warm. Later, he planned to go to the town to buy some materials to build a greenhouse for the medicinal materials.

After finishing his work, Su Yu returned to the hut.

However, before entering the door, I heard an exclamation from the Green Onion Duck.

Gah...!!

What's wrong? Hearing this voice, Su Yu hurried over. When he arrived, he saw the green onion duck holding its pot of green onions and crying continuously.

As for the pot of green onions it was holding, its branches and leaves were wilting, and the leaf tips had begun to turn yellow, looking lifeless.

Is this... frozen? Su Yu asked doubtfully.

That’s not right. Green onions are very resistant to low temperatures. Why are they frozen like this after just one night of cooling?

Or are there other reasons?

However, it seems that now is not the time to pursue this matter. Seeing the green onion duck so sad, Su Yu said:

Don't worry, Green Onion Duck, this is probably just ordinary frostbite, and it can still be saved.

Move the green onions indoors first. Don't leave them outside to catch the cold. This will avoid aggravating frostbite.

Hearing this, Green Onion Duck quickly followed the instructions.

After moving the green onions indoors, Su Yu cut off the completely frostbitten part of the green onions.

After that, Su Yu called the mount Lamb, which could only use the Green Grass Field move, and asked it to use the Green Grass Field move against Green Onion.

With the use of the grass field, a surge of grass energy poured into the green onion, allowing it to gradually recover.

Although he didn't recover much, at least the sick and dying state that seemed to be about to wither at any time disappeared.

Seeing this, Su Yu said:

It seems that it's nothing serious, but it may take some time to completely return to its previous appearance. During this period, you can no longer use this green onion.

Let's do this. You follow me to the field to pick a green onion and come back for temporary use. In the past few days, let your green onion recover properly.

Hearing this, the Green Onion Duck also nodded gratefully, it would be great if he could save this green onion.

This green onion has been with it since not long after it was born until now, and it has deep feelings.

Even when he was so hungry that he could hardly walk during his previous escape to this ranch, the Green Onion Duck did not eat the green onion. Instead, he relied on his strong will to resist the temptation.

Therefore, this green onion can be said to be very important to the green onion duck.

But Su Yu didn't know what Green Onion Duck was thinking about at the moment. He took the green onion duck to the field and let the green onion duck pick at will among the green onions he planted.

Looking at the lush green onions in the field, Su Yu also muttered:

It's weird, my green onions are fine, so why did something happen to the green onions of the Green Onion Duck?

Su Yu couldn't figure this out no matter how hard he thought about it.

After thinking for a long time, Su Yu could only attribute this incident to a supernatural phenomenon. Maybe... the green onion duck was strange.

Judging from the sick and wilting appearance of the green onions of the Green Onion Duck, it is not necessarily frostbite. It may also be that the ghost-type Pokémon has absorbed the life energy and eventually succumbed.

However, Green Onion was actually chosen to commit the crime, which means that this ghost-type Pokémon should not be very powerful. After all, if he were stronger, he might have the courage to pick a green onion duck to commit the crime.

And just when Su Yu was thinking about what kind of ghost Pokémon it would be, Green Onion Duck also finished choosing Green Onions and came to Su Yu's side.

Gah... After choosing the new green onions, the Green Onion Duck still frowned. It seemed that he was not used to the new green onions.

Let's make do with it for now, it won't last a few days anyway. Su Yu said with a smile.

I'll buy you a flower pot later and let you plant this green onion in it.

After choosing the green onions, it was time for Su Yu to go back. Today is the day to shave the wool of the braided sheep. After shaving the wool, Su Yu has to go to the town to talk to the restaurant about the crab claws.

…

After finishing breakfast, Su Yu called the braided sheep over and prepared to trim their wool.

In the past few days, Su Yu has been feeding the braided sheep marshmallows. With the blessing of the soft marshmallows, the quality of the braided sheep's wool has become higher and higher.

It seems that you are not far away from evolution. If you evolve into hairy horn sheep, the quality of your wool should be improved. By then, I feel like you will be able to sign supply agreements with those high-end brands.

Su Yu said while trimming the wool of the braided sheep.

However, he still thinks that the braided sheep look cute now. After evolving into the hairy horned sheep, they no longer have that cute feeling. It can be said that it is common for Pokémon to lose appearance after evolution.

Ah~! The braided sheep were very happy about the fact that they were about to evolve. This means that they can become stronger again!

And meekly, when Su Yu finished trimming the wool, Su Yu patted one of the braided sheep and said:

Okay, the cutting is done, you can go play.

Ah~ After hearing this, the braided sheep immediately ran away and joined the mounted lambs who had been waiting for a while.

After reuniting, the lambs went to play by themselves.

Su Yu, on the other hand, called Tropical Dragon and asked him to take him to the town.

Came to town again...

Su Yu went straight to the restaurant he had visited before.

Because Su Yu often sends fish here, the clerk here can be said to be very familiar with Su Yu, the rancher.

Seeing Su Yu coming, they all smiled and said hello to Su Yu.

Su Yu smiled and nodded, then walked inside and came to an office deep in the hotel.

This is where the person in charge of the hotel usually works. Su Yu knocked on the door, and after getting a response from inside, he opened the door and walked in.

Um...it's Rancher Su. Please sit down. What can I do for you?

Hearing this, Su Yu expressed his intention to the person in charge.

He came here this time just to sell his crab claws. After all, crab claws have become unsaleable in pastoral areas. Su Yu took all the crab claws collected in the past few days and put them in the refrigerator.

After hearing Su Yu's words, the person in charge of the hotel was shocked. He said:

Did the crab claws come from your ranch? Our hotel also has many suppliers from the ranch, and I've heard them say this before.

“I just didn’t expect these crab claws to come from Rancher Su, I almost missed them!”

With that said, the person in charge of the hotel said that this matter was a bit big and he couldn't make the decision, so he needed to contact the boss behind it.

He left the office and made a phone call outside.

Not long after the call was made, a man who looked like a boss with a slightly fat belly walked in. He looked at Su Yu, patted Su Yu on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

You must be Rancher Su, right? I've long heard that the reason our restaurant became popular is because of the fish you sent us, Rancher Su. I thought you would be a very experienced person, but I didn't expect you to be so young.

Then can you let me take a look at those crab claws first? Or, let the chef cook a dish first and taste it first, so that I can judge the value of these crab claws.
