An Order from Sabrina in Golden City

Chapter 56 An Order from Sabrina in Golden City

The day after playing the Masked Festival.

Last night, Simocha didn't come back with us. It wanted to stay outside and play for a while longer. However, Mingyou has already bought some materials for making tea bowls online, and we'll start working on them when we have time in a few days.

However, the manor welcomed a new group of residents today, the same fat rats who chased after the berries with Munchlax and the others last night.

The little Snorlax told them that there was food here, and they all came looking for it, so the manor became lively early in the morning.

"Everyone, please don't fight here. There's plenty of food here, and lots of fruit too."

Mingyou was attracted by the noise and reminded the greedy squirrel and the gluttonous squirrel that they could pick the food whenever they wanted, but they shouldn't pick it and hoard it without eating it.

He knew that these mice had a habit of hoarding food, but fruits are not tree fruits and do not have a special way of preservation, so they are generally difficult to store for a very long time.

Fortunately, there's Snorlax. Last night, it recruited all these mice as its underlings. They all listen to it and know that only by following it can they get enough to eat.

He also gave Mingyou a bunch of cards as a bonus.

[Hidden Squid (lv1): When used on a pine tree, it changes to a Fattened Pine Tree. The Fattened Pine Nuts produced have a chance to learn the following moves (Voice of Deafness, Body Slam, Seed Machine Gun, Big Appetizer, Belly Drum, Treasure)]

Greedy Chipmunk x17, Hungry Chipmunk x3

Looking at the cards in her hand, Mingyou suddenly thought of something: all these rats had followed her. Would she have to hire extras to steal the fruit when fighting the Ghost Festival in the future?

It doesn't matter, it's best to cancel the Ghost Festival. However, he doesn't have the power to make Kitakami Township cancel this kind of event right now, but it must be canceled in the future!

"Okay, let's make breakfast first!"

I had a great time yesterday, but I can't forget about work. I still need to keep track of and care for the variant crops every day, as well as plant a new round of seeds.

We've finally made some progress, and we can't let it all go to waste because of a moment of complacency.

In the morning, after saying goodbye to Ponpo, he began another round of his street vending life.

Riding the horned deer to the North Center, Xiao Zhao was already waiting at his stall, because they had agreed the night before that Xiao Zhao would help sell his goods.

Good morning!

Good morning!

"Yo yo~"

The horned deer also greeted Xiao Zhao.

After exchanging greetings, Mingyou asked curiously, "I thought you wouldn't be coming until noon."

"Actually, I was just about to leave, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

"Haha, I usually come around this time every day."

As she spoke, Mingyou took out the goods she had brought and selected some fruits and vegetables that were moderately priced and easy to sell, such as "Meditation" and "100,000 Horsepower," and handed them to the other party.

"That's all. The labels on them show the corresponding effects and prices. Since it's the first day, that's all I'm giving you. If you don't sell any, just come back to me before 5 p.m.."

"no problem."

Xiao Zhao nodded slightly, but after seeing the prices of these fruits, a trace of worry appeared on her delicate face. Could these really be sold?

She was somewhat skeptical, but she had no choice but to give it a try, starting by selling it to people she was close to.

Watching Xiao Zhao leave with her goods, Mingyou began another round of her street vending life...

After working until the afternoon, as they were preparing to pack up and go home, Xiao Zhao returned with a face full of apologies: "I only sold one green plum today, and Dan Yu only bought it because of me..."

"You'll get used to it."

Mingyou didn't blame her, but before packing up and heading back, she offered a suggestion: "When you sell fruit again tomorrow, you could try having them try it first. If it doesn't work, you don't have to charge them!"

"what?"

Xiao Zhao was slightly taken aback. Aren't you afraid that I'll keep them all for myself and then say that none of them were sold?

Although she didn't say it directly, Mingyou saw the question in her eyes and replied with a smile, "I have my confidence and trust in you. I'm the boss, so even if there are losses, I'll bear them myself. So let's do it!"

As he spoke, he took out an unsold, juicy peach and handed it to the other person: "Consider it a free peach for you after a hard day's work."

"what?"

See you tomorrow!

"..."

Watching Mingyou ride away on the horned deer, Xiaozhao, holding a peach, was still a little dazed. She thought the other person would be angry, but she didn't expect him to be so optimistic.

After a moment of stunned silence, she looked at the plump peach in her hand, and with curiosity, took a small bite. The moment the juice burst out, her face was full of surprise and delight.

"So sweet..."

……

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Ever since Mingyou taught Xiaozhao how to sell fruit, she was able to sell several pieces every day, because the results were genuine.

Soon the news spread among the students attending the summer camp, and some curious students began to buy fruit from her.

It's cheaper than a move learning device and even more effective, so you definitely shouldn't miss out on such a great deal.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Zhao also promoted Mingyou's stall to them. Although she could keep quiet and earn more money, it would go against her conscience, and she couldn't do such a thing.

at last……

Mingyou's business in Beishang Township began to flourish. Not only students, but also some tourists came here after hearing about it, wanting to buy fruit to try. However, most people just stayed to watch the excitement.

In any case, things have finally started to look up, but the only drawback is what Dr. Kukui mentioned before: there are too few varieties of fruit.

How many Pokémon moves are there now? There are over 700 moves that are registered in the Pokédex, not to mention those that are not recorded.

And what about move learners? There are fewer than 300 so far. Are the rest simply impossible to create?

Not entirely... It's mainly a cost issue. Some low-level moves are expensive to produce, but they don't sell for that much money. Secondly, some move learning devices are simply impossible to manufacture.

Unless there is a technological breakthrough...

Although Mingyou has many fruits that can be used to learn basic moves, he doesn't need them at all. Even if he bought them to try, they would be too expensive.

Mingyou is well aware of this, and there's no particularly good solution for the time being. He can only continue to work hard to collect cards and then plant them in the manor.

After a week of waiting, as the end of the month approached, the popularity of his stall gradually decreased. The fruits that were easy to sell were basically sold out, and the remaining ones had no buyers, so he could only make them into snacks and sell them cheaply.

However, what puzzled him was that no one was buying the watery peaches...

It's probably because he charges 298 yuan per pill, claiming that it can enhance mental strength, but this stuff is too mysterious. It's not like a technique that can take effect quickly and be used, so no one wants to be ripped off.

Mingyou was also helpless about this, but fortunately, he will have a new batch of crops to harvest at the end of the month, so he can at least earn a lot next month.

But on that very day, his Salted Fish King account suddenly received new messages.

I thought it was Xia asking about the ghost oranges again, since she would occasionally ask on behalf of her "friends," but it turned out it wasn't...

"Do these juicy peaches really have the effect of boosting mental strength and stabilizing mood?"

I saw an account with a doll-like profile picture asking him this question—a very ordinary inquiry.

Just as Mingyou was about to reply, she inexplicably felt a chill, or perhaps it was just her imagination. She then proceeded to describe the detailed effects of the Water Heart Peach.

After waiting a moment, the other party replied to the message.

"I'll take all ten of these juicy peaches. Ship them right now via Big-Penis SF Express, and I'll cover the shipping cost."

"..."

Seeing how readily the customer agreed and even offered to pay for the shipping, Mingyou was momentarily stunned. Wasn't the customer going through the proper procedures and questioning her first?

He was still a little unaccustomed to this sudden turn of events, but he quickly arranged for the shipment to be sent to the other party, even if it was a little late to the Beijing-Shanghai center.

But as soon as he received the recipient's shipping information, his hand trembled, and he froze on the spot once again...

"Saffron City, Kanto Region, Saffron Gym, Sabrina... Who's Sabrina again? It should be that one... the really scary one..."

Mingyou was somewhat frightened; he had heard some terrible rumors about Nazi.

Why would someone see my shop when I haven't spent any money on promotion recently?

Just as he was pondering these matters, the other party sent another message, not a question about following procedures, but a message that sent chills down his spine.

"If the peach doesn't work, I'll turn you into a doll so you can stay with me forever..."
