MTL - Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 96 Honey Bread

So many festivals, it sounds really exciting!

 Zhishu felt a little excited when he heard it.

Ivan looked around and said, "You don't seem to have a horse Pokémon yet! If you don't have a horse Pokémon, you won't be able to participate in the horse racing meeting next month."

 Naoki: “…”

Then he can’t just conjure one up out of thin air!

There are not many types of horse Pokémon, not to mention the flaming horses and thunder zebras that all live in the vast and endless grasslands. The terrain here in Zhiqin Town has no terrain at all.

The only heavy mud draft horse also lives in the foothills, and the environment here is difficult to encounter.

As for the other horses, only King Lei Guan’s Snowstorm Horse and Ghost Horse are left.

He can't ride Guledon to the Galar area next door to compete with King Leiguan for a horse, right?

Ivan also thought of this, and he smiled sheepishly: "If there is no horse, let's watch the game together in the audience!"

 Zhi Shu shrugged: "Let's talk about it then!"

Maybe one day he will be lucky and meet a horse in the back mountain?

 “Yeah!” Alvin nodded. Because there was still work to do, he said goodbye to Naoki and turned around to leave the ranch.

Looking at his leaving back, Naoki fell into deep thought.

Today is February 21st, and there are only two days left before the cattle and sheep competition is held.

The only cow and sheep Pokémon in the pasture are goat mounts and large milk cans.

 The big milk tank has just started to be raised. It has not been here for too long, and its fur has not reached the level of glossy and smooth.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu turned around and went to the sheepfold, observing the wool on the three goats lying on the ground.

 In comparison, the wool of the mount goat is much more beautiful.

 Maintaining a leisurely mood and adequate nutrition for a long time has brought their mental state and fur to a very good state.

 Wool is soft, smooth and feels furry.

 Obviously, they are the most suitable Pokémon to participate in this competition.

 In this case, the decision is yours!

With a smile on his face, Naoki said to the three goats: "Perform well when the time comes and win the first place for me!"

This doesn't make it in vain for him to work hard to make grass **** for them every day.

　　The goats were confused: "What?"

 Zhi Shu had already turned around and left to see the big milk tank for milking.

There are already three large milk cans in the pasture, two of which were picked up from the town behind the tree.

Once they came over, the big milk jug felt less lonely now that it had company.

These three large milk tanks can produce a lot of milk for him every day. Together with the goat milk from the riding goat and the rock salt from Yan Shibao, they can bring a very considerable income to the ranch every day.

Zhi Shu plans to use the money to install an air conditioner for his home, chicken house, Pokémon house and salt house.

This way, in the hot summer, he can take a vacation at home with the Pokémon while blowing on the air conditioner and eating watermelon.

 As for the big milk tanks, they don’t have to worry about being affected by the heat, and can stay comfortably in their nests and eat feed.

 The ranch’s economic crisis has been temporarily lifted, and Naoki has begun to have a lot of time to make new dishes.

 That afternoon, he went to the town to buy a bunch of brand new ingredients and cooking utensils such as ovens and pans, and returned home to show off his cooking skills.

 Today, he is going to use the oven to make new dishes.

 In the kitchen, Zhishu prepared all the tools and ingredients he needed.

 Eggbeater, oven, eggs, high-gluten flour, sugar, milk, butter, honey…

 The eggs are laid by our own hens, the milk is produced in large milk tanks, and the honey is brewed with the hard work of Three Bees. Once everything was ready, Naoki started to get busy.

At this time, the Frost Milk Fairy ran over. It looked at Naoshu’s movements and shouted happily: "Mama!"

 “You also want to make it together?” Naoki asked.

 “Mama!”

 The Frosty Milk Fairy nodded repeatedly. She loved making desserts the most.

 “Then let’s go together!” Naoki smiled and nodded.

He just happened to be making a cake base, and by adding the cream from the Cream Fairy, he would be able to make a delicious caramel cream cake.

But before that, he had to make the dessert he originally planned to make.

 Mix high-gluten flour, eggs, milk, and sugar evenly, then add yeast and knead into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

  Thirty minutes later, take out the risen dough and place it on the panel, turn on the pushing and kneading mode, and add softened butter during the process.

 When it’s almost ready, shape the risen dough into a bun shape, apply a layer of sweetness on it and put it in the oven to bake.

Soon, with a "ding" sound, neat rows of honey buns were freshly baked.

 As soon as the oven door opened, a rich aroma of milk mixed with the smell of honey hit your face.

　　Naoki couldn't help but swallow.

 The baked honey bun has a golden and crispy exterior. When you take a bite, it is very soft and stringy on the inside. It has a soft texture and you can taste the sweet aroma of honey.

 “Well, perfect!”

 Zhishu gave one of them to the Frost Milk Fairy on the side. After finishing one himself, he started to check the information of this bun.

[Honey Bread (A-): Bread made with sweet, moo milk and other ingredients. The strong fragrance of honey will also attract the attention of some bear Pokémon.

Effect: The bear explodes. After the bear Pokémon eats it, it will enter a state of inspiration. In this state, the comprehension is improved, and it is limited to bear Pokémon.

 Additional effect: Greatly increases the favorability of Pokémon Bear.

 Evaluation: It is a delicious bun with a thick layer of sweetness and a perfect blend of honey, eggs, flour and milk. It is a very good kind of bread. ]

 “The effect is pretty good.” Naoki said in his heart while looking at the information about this bun.

He happened to know a bear Pokémon.

 The cunning figure of the baby bear appeared in Naoki's mind.

But then again, it seems that he hasn’t seen the baby bear for several days.

 Nearly five days have passed since the last time it came to the pasture.

 “Could we be in some danger?”

Zhi Shu was a little worried. He walked out of the room, stood under the eaves and looked at the direction of the back mountain.

Not far away, Bada Butterfly was collecting nectar for food. Zhi Shu thought of Bada Butterfly flying around in the pasture every day, so he called it over and asked:

“Ba Dahu, have you seen the baby bear in the past few days? Has it been to the pasture?”

 “咒咿…”

 Ba Dahuo shook his head slightly. He had never seen the baby bear before.

"All right."

At this moment, countless possibilities flashed through Naoki's mind.

　　Being conquered by a passing trainer, falling into the cliff and unable to get up, encountering danger...
