My Xia Ming baby is the best!
Chapter 101 My Xia Ming baby is the best!
"One piece for you, one piece for you, everyone gets a share."
After harvesting one acre of cranberries, the remaining cranberries were also picked thanks to the efforts of the lily root dolls, insect treasure bags, and treasure cocoons.
The plants were not wasted; they all became food for the insects and their cocoons.
Xia Ming didn't hesitate to call over all the Pokémon and Sophia from the farm, and immediately started cutting open the perfectly shaped cranberry.
Only one perfect-quality fruit will be produced per plant, and only trees with a specific shape will produce multiple perfect-quality fruits.
Those silver cranberries are companion fruits to the golden cranberries. Although they are not as good as the golden cranberries, they have a much better taste and health benefits than ordinary cranberries.
"Mmm~ So delicious! Xia Ming, you're amazing. I've been learning for over two years and still haven't been able to grow the perfect black berries that can be used to make Dream Fruit Wine."
Sofia savored a finger-sized piece of golden cranberry, giving it high praise while also feeling somewhat disappointed.
How could Xia Ming not notice Sophia's disappointment? So he comforted her, "My grandfather left me a notebook with instructions on how to grow cranberries. Let's compare our methods with yours tonight, and maybe next year everyone will be able to drink your homemade Dreamy Black Berry Wine!"
"Um!"
Sofia quickly recovered from her disappointment and looked around. The Pokémon gathered in the yard, sharing fruit, all wore happy and satisfied smiles.
The cranberry fruit is large, but it is too small compared to the number of Pokémon, so each person can only get a small amount of fruit.
But what truly brings them satisfaction and happiness is not the delicious fruit, but Xia Ming's thoughtfulness in remembering them and sharing with them. This is far more delicious than the fruit itself!
"Doli~"
Good boy, good boy~
The older lady in the skirt reached out and patted Xia Ming's head, praising him repeatedly.
Xia Ming's actions truly moved her. She now firmly believes that Xia Ming can restore the farm to its former vibrant state, and that more and more old friends will be brought back for reunions.
Xia Ming had already given her a satisfactory answer to that test.
[Sitting in a row, sharing fruit, you get a piece, why don't I get one?]
[I watch Little Farmer's livestream just for this! The relationship between humans and Pokémon is elevated to a whole new level at this moment!]
[I still remember how desolate the little farmer's farm was at the beginning, and now it's so prosperous.]
[The farmer deserves it, simply because he actually established a connection with Pokémon.]
[Sommelier Tian Tong: The divine scene has given me a new inspiration for bartending. This time, I'll use cranberry juice as a base.]
"Yo ma!"
Suddenly, the light of evolution shone brightly in the courtyard.
A baby cocoon, stimulated by happiness and deliciousness, successfully evolved into an elegant babysitter worm: "Hoo-hoo!"
From now on, let's grow these fruits together so that every Pokémon and person can enjoy them to their heart's content!
"The babysitter is right, next year's harvest will be even greater than this year's!"
"Doli!"
"Waaaaaah!"
"Bang~"
"Youji Youji".
"Cool~ It's noisy!"
In the courtyard, cheers from Pokémon echoed continuously.
"Including the live stream donations this month, I've earned a total of 1.2 million League Coins, which is more than enough to last until the end of the competition and when I receive my prize money."
A few days later, late at night, Xia Ming sat at his desk in his room, holding the account book and calculating again and again, finally revealing a satisfied smile.
He plans to increase his arable land to sixty mu next spring, which will be a huge challenge, but it will also allow him to get out of the precarious economic situation more quickly.
Behind him, Sophia, who was sure Ralts was fast asleep, came to his side in her pajamas and smoothly sat on his lap with a practiced twist of her waist: "Xia Qing is asleep. How was the harvest? You look so happy, it must have been great."
"I've earned over a million Alliance Coins and received quite a few orders from snack vendors to help me sell my products. I plan to try them myself first, and I think I can earn a few hundred thousand more from them in the end. Then I can pay back the money I owe you."
-
"What do you mean by 'borrow' or 'lend'?!"
Thinking of Xia Ming's shyly asking her for money a month ago, Sophia couldn't help but laugh: "No rush. The farm is still growing. We can't neglect the nutrition of Shakiras and Aluminum Steel Dragon, and we can't skimp on everyone's daily tree fruit meals."
Don't worry, my parents left me a large sum of money, and there are two cases of Dream Fruit Wine aged in the family cellar. If you need more, just ask.
"Sophia————"
The warm glow of the lamplight illuminated Xia Ming's blushing face.
Unbeknownst to him, Sophia's hands embraced Xia Ming's head, and then she let him bury his face in her broad chest.
The warmth she gave him touched Xia Ming deeply, and in that instant, he seemed to have fallen hopelessly in love with the girl.
Looking down at Xia Ming, who was now relying on her, Sophia's lips curled into a mischievous smile. Then, her bad girl personality successfully elbowed her good girl personality: "My Xia Ming baby is the best, isn't he?"
"Ugh————"
Nothing happened that night, but Xia Ming was somewhat dazed when he woke up the next morning, while Sophia blushed and hurriedly ran back to her farm.
The snow began to fall heavily.
After a hot summer and a dry autumn, the cold winter is now approaching.
Inside the villa, Xia Ming also changed into new clothes with Sophia's help.
Today wasn't busy; both of them only needed to prepare some food for their Pokémon, and Sofia also had the added task of checking the wine cellar.
With the arrival of winter, all is quiet, and apart from greenhouses and special plants, there is not much life to be seen.
This entire winter is a holiday for most farmers, during which they do things they wouldn't normally be able to do.
For example----
"Let's go, Shakiras! Today's training involves defeating ten Pokémon of the same level using only eye contact!"
"Cool~ It's noisy!"
We are very close!
In order to better prepare for the Moltres Cup in mid-next month, Xia Ming began special training with his two Pokémon.
To defeat their formidable rival, Mingyi, they must be able to enter "flow" at any time and achieve perfect teamwork!
Xia Ming knew it would be difficult, but he believed that the bond between him and Shakiras was enough to make it happen.
So let's start by defeating the other Pokémon together, without even having to communicate with words!
"The road?"
What about me?
"Aluminum Steel Dragon, don't rush. This time, you'll observe my battle with Shakiras as a spectator. Tomorrow, it'll be our turn to develop teamwork."
Xia Ming set a goal for himself and Shakiras to be able to enter "flow" freely, while his goal with Aluminum Steel Dragon was to achieve perfect harmony.
