My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 108 New Friends on the Ranch

In Chicory Village, all was peaceful.

Sunny Ranch, nothing happening today.

Tuotuo, carrying Tonghua, headed towards Chicory Village along the familiar path. A spring breeze caressed their faces, and the fruit trees and groves on both sides of the road were in full bloom, emitting a faint fragrance.

When we arrived at Sunshine Ranch, Grandpa Yang was grooming a flock of sheep.

Upon seeing Tong Hua, he smiled kindly: "Tong Hua, isn't the shop busy? What brings you here today?"

Where are those little guys? Why did they bring Tuotuo worms with them?

"Worm!"

Tong Hua jumped off the worm, still carrying a food basket in her hand.

"Look at you, you always bring food when you come. You've spoiled this old man's palate!"

Tong Hua listened to the old man's words and opened the food basket with a smile.

The basket contains the signature desserts of Happiness Dessert House, including Happiness Buffet and Happiness Strawberry Cake.

However, after the Spring Festival, Tong Hua's recreated Happy Strawberry Cake could no longer reach Grade A quality; the effect remained the same as before, though it seemed slightly weakened.

In addition, there was a bottle of unlabeled liquid in the basket. It looked pink, and I didn't know what it was.

Grandpa Yang led Tong Hua and Tuo Tuo into the room. Tong Hua put the basket on the table before starting to introduce the children.

"This is something new I've been experimenting with lately; it's a juice made with sweet peaches. Give it a try!"

Grandpa Yang curiously picked up the bottle of pink liquid and looked at it against the light: "Peach juice? It looks like a beautiful color."

He opened the bottle cap, and a sweet peach scent immediately wafted out. The juice inside the bottle was slightly viscous as it flowed.

The old man carefully took a sip, and his eyes immediately lit up: "It's so sweet, and it makes me feel warmer after drinking it."

Tong Hua explained with a smile, "I also added some of the sweetness from Three Bees. Theoretically, the juice, which is concentrated with the essence of sweet peaches, has the effect of detoxifying and beautifying the skin."

Furthermore, because honey is added, this can also be considered a honey-flavored drink.

"No wonder it was so thick, they added honey too." Grandpa Yang smacked his lips, still savoring the taste of the juice.

"It was so warm that I started sweating, and I could definitely feel the toxins and impurities being expelled from my body."

Tong Hua looked at the changes in Grandpa Yang's body. The sweat that flowed out was mixed with dirt. Just as it was written in the [Recipe Guide], this drink has the effect of detoxifying and beautifying the skin.

"That's great, it looks like we can put it in the store for sale now."

To be honest, I initially wanted to try brewing wine, but it was a bit time-consuming, so I switched to simply juicing.

In retrospect, this result is not bad.

Grandpa Yang took another big gulp, feeling the warm current flowing through his body, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Tong Hua, this stuff tastes much better than wine."

I feel more energetic, and the more I drink, the more comfortable I feel.

"If you like it, I'll have the messenger bird deliver more to you in the future."

After chatting for a while, Tong Hua finally revealed another purpose of her trip.

"I placed an order with you a few days ago; I'd like to buy a few large milk tanks and small fairy milk tanks."

Grandpa Yang put down his drink and smiled with satisfaction: "Everything is ready, come with me."

Grandpa Yang stood up and instinctively reached for his cane, only to suddenly realize that the cane he was holding could no longer touch the ground.

"?"

Grandpa Yang was surprised to find that he could straighten his back. Because of this, his cane floated in mid-air and could not touch the ground at all.

"Tong Hua, is this also the effect of your drink?"

Tong Hua remained silent, only smiling.

"Grandpa Yang, I already said it's for detoxification and beauty. Since you've expelled the toxins, isn't it normal for your health to improve?"

Grandpa Yang laughed heartily, then leaned his cane against the chair and strode ahead.

The worm behind Tong Hua was stunned. He had just been exchanging a few pleasantries with the sunflower monster from Sunshine Ranch, but when he looked up, he saw that his old partner seemed to have become young again.

"Let's go, we'll follow them." Tong Hua patted Tuotuo's body, and the latter finally came to its senses and followed Tong Hua into the ranch.

The big milk tanks of Sunshine Ranch live in the grassland area of ​​the ranch, while the little milk tanks live in a small, temperature-controlled house next to the salt house where the salt treasures live. Grandpa Yang led Tong Hua to an open grassland, where several big milk tanks with shiny fur were leisurely grazing.

They were slightly smaller than the giant milk tanks in the fairytale ranch, but their eyes were exceptionally bright and lively.

"These three are specially reserved for you," Grandpa Yang said proudly, pointing to a particularly energetic large milk tank. "Especially that one, not only does she produce the best quality milk, but she also takes good care of her companions."

Tong Hua noticed that the one Grandpa Yang was pointing to was indeed different from the others. She saw him grooming the fur of another large milk tanker with gentle and careful movements.

I won't go into the price of the three large milk cans; it was all agreed upon beforehand, and Tong Hua paid for them willingly.

Then they came to the constant-temperature cottage next door, where the three little fairy grandmothers were playing happily.

They smelled sweet and, seeing Tong Hua enter, curiously gathered around her.

Their bodies are made of whipped cream, and some studies suggest they were created from a concentration of sweet-smelling components from the air.

However, based on Tong Hua's observations of the sweet scent of Sweet Wuni these past few days, this research claim is likely unreliable.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need to come all the way here to buy Little Fairy Milk.

"These little milk nymphs are fed by me using a special formula," Grandpa Yang nodded and said. "The cream they produce is especially sweet and is absolutely wonderful for making desserts."

More importantly, they are easy to care for. They hardly need to eat anything; just let them smell sweet fragrances every day.

I remember you have a Sweetie, right? Then that should be fine. After absorbing the sweet aroma, their bodies will swell up, and that's when you can squeeze out the cream.

After the cream is piped out, it will return to its original shape. I haven't actually tested how much cream can be produced each day.

After listening to the old man's story, Tong Hua took a closer look at the group of little ones.

With an adorable appearance like milk, it exudes a sweet and pleasant scent from head to toe.

And those round eyes, those empty gazes, are just part of his charm!

No need for further explanation, just hand over the money!

After the transaction was completed, Grandpa Yang helped Tong Hua lead his new companion outside the ranch.

They all seemed to understand that they were going to a new place to start a new life, and together they gently said goodbye to Grandpa Yang.

Little Fairy Milk was alright, but the three big milk bottles seemed especially reluctant to part, with two of them unable to hold back their tears. Only the one who loved taking care of people the most managed to hold back its tears.

"There's really no other way, Sunflower Monster. You're in charge of watching the house. I'll go with Tong Hua to take them to Fairy Tale Ranch."

"Sangshai" (a type of mulberry leaf).

Grandpa Yang decided to escort them himself, so he neatly prepared a cart and let the three big milk jugs sit on it.

The cart was pulled by Tauros from the ranch, with Tuotuo the worm leading the way. Tong Hua and Grandpa Yang walked side by side, with three little fairy nymphs flying around them.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Yang, for troubling you to make this trip in person."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm feeling quite well today. After I get to your place, this old man is going out for a stroll."

"I don't know how long it's been since I left Sunshine Ranch. How come the roads outside the village are so well-maintained?"

"Ah, this was specially built for our Fairy Tale Ranch," Tong Hua said, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"I see, that's really impressive."

Along the way, Tong Hua noticed that the special big milk can was always comforting its companion, sometimes rubbing its nose against it, sometimes making gentle noises. It was truly a natural leader.

As we approached the Fairy Tale Ranch, we could hear Sweetie's cheerful calls from afar.

She, along with Minif, Foam Chipmunk, and Messenger Bird, were already waiting at the ranch entrance, eager to meet their new companions.

"Oh my!" Sweet Dance Ni waved to Tong Hua, who responded with a smile.
