Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 63 The Manor's First Rainy Day

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Seeing that the lord was inspecting his honey production, the three bees all gathered around.

Fangzhou dipped his finger in it, and saw that in the afterglow of the setting sun, the honey was golden, but the color was rather dark, slightly leaning towards the color of amber.

Put your finger in your mouth and suck on it; the unique fragrance of parsnip fills your mouth.

So sweet!

Based on Ark's previous life experience, this honey should be of very high quality!

The three bees all turned their expectant gazes toward them, and even the queen bee gathered around.

Fangzhou gave a thumbs up, "Delicious! Very sweet! The honey everyone makes is of excellent quality!"

Regular honey is too sweet to eat directly, but because this honey is made from parsnip pollen, it has a refreshing taste that reduces the sweetness of the honey.

Hao Chi!

Upon hearing Fangzhou's praise, the three bees instantly cheered and began to buzz even more merrily.

They themselves had tasted the honey made from this new nectar, and it was indeed different from the honey they had made from wildflowers they had gathered in Dongshan.

The flavor of honey varies greatly depending on the type of pollen collected.

With such high-quality honey, Fang Zhou's mind began to stir.

Next, we could consider further expanding the planting area of ​​the flower sea, or introducing other flowering plants with different blooming periods and flavors.

For example, lavender, or basil with its distinctive fragrance...

This allows for the production of honey with different floral flavors, and even allows for careful blending to create unique mixed-flavor honey.

Hmm, this industry seems very promising, and the market prospects should be good!

Fangzhou carefully dipped a clean, large leaf in honey and handed it to Kirlia, who was standing quietly to the side.

"Suri Suri~"

Kirullian carefully took the leaf, making sure the honey didn't fall off.

He put it to his lips, stuck out his little tongue and licked it, then squinted his eyes.

It has a sweet and delicious taste.

"Come on, everyone, come and have a taste." Hearing Ark's call, the little fire monkey ran over, and the tropical dragon, who was practicing flying with Whimsicott, also came over.

The flower field is now being cared for by the farm owner, Tropical Dragon, and his few assistants; they all work very hard.

"Auss~" The tropical dragon opened its mouth wide, and Ark threw a honey-covered leaf into its mouth.

"Ao Si! Ao Si!" (So sweet! So sweet!)

The tropical dragon chewed a few times, then shook its large head wildly, its expression contorted, clearly overwhelmed by the extreme sweetness.

The poisonous moth standing nearby had its eyes light up when it saw this!

It immediately used its telekinesis to control several honey-covered leaves, deliberately waving them around in front of the tropical dragon while making exaggerated chewing motions.

I'm chewing and chewing~

Wow, this is delicious!

Tropical dragon, why did you only eat so little?

Why don't you eat more? Don't you like it?

Fangzhou smiled, knowing that the poisonous moth was seeking revenge for eating strawberries earlier.

"Buzz~" The queen bee flew over worriedly and was a little disappointed to see that the tropical dragon had only taken a small sip and then stopped.

Is it not tasty?

Those three bees eat honey to their hearts' content every day.

"No, honey is delicious! But it might be a bit too sweet for tropical dragons. I'm planning to try making a honey cake. With other ingredients, it will be much better."

Fangzhou smiled and said, "We'll all eat together once it's finished."

"Buzz~" (Honey cake!)

The queen bee nodded, indicating that she was looking forward to it.

Fangzhou returned to the manor, took out the farm planting guide, and turned to the page about honey, which contained information about quality.

Sitting on the stone stool, turning the pages of the book in the afterglow of the setting sun, the other Pokémon squatted on the ground, waiting for Teacher Fang's mini-class to begin.

Fangzhou learned as he went, and then immediately put what he learned into practice by introducing everyone to the knowledge of honey.

"Let me give you some background information. Honey can be divided into four grades. The first grade, which is the lowest quality, is some mixed flower honey. It has a cloudy, light yellow color and a sweet taste with a slight sourness."

The queen bee nodded. When they first started managing the three-bee family, this was the kind of honey they produced.

"The second grade has a clear and bright color, a sweet taste, and a rich and lasting floral aroma."

"The third-grade quality is like this one; its color is amber."

Fangzhou pointed to the honey that the tropical dragon had just dripped onto the ground, which had solidified into a fine crystal. "The most distinctive feature is that it turns into these small crystals when the temperature drops."

It turned out to be the case.

The other Pokémon all looked on expectantly, wondering what the highest quality one would look like.

"The highest quality honey, also known as the treasure grade, is quite remarkable and has two distinctive characteristics that can be used to identify it."

"Firstly, its color; it can display different colors depending on the light."

"Firstly, the taste is rich and lingering, melting in your mouth, with a finish that can stay in your mouth for hours!"

wow~

The Pokémon standing nearby listened with shining eyes.

Secret treasure honey, that sounds amazing!

I really hope I'll have the chance to try it someday!

Fangzhou collected a small bucket of honey for his own use. He didn't consume much of the honey; the rest he would sell.

It's getting late. I'll go to the distribution center to find George tomorrow. I don't know how much money I can make from it.

into the night.

boom!

A silver lightning bolt streaked across the night sky, followed by a muffled clap of thunder.

The rain started pouring down.

Hearing the commotion outside, Fangzhou got up and went to the window. He saw that a light drizzle was falling outside, and the raindrops splashed on the ground.

This was the first time Ark had encountered a rainy day since coming to this world.

Suddenly, he remembered the tropical dragon that always slept outside because of its large size.

Quickly turn on the light and put on your coat.

"Suri?" Kirlia was woken up and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"It's raining, I'll go bring the tropical dragon in."

Fangzhou took a flashlight and an umbrella and went out.

Pushing open the door, I saw the tropical dragon huddled in the corridor, shivering pitifully in the cold wind.

It's clearly a creature that knows to run home when it rains, but the door is too small to squeeze through, so it can only squat here.

Fangzhou laughed and scolded, "Why didn't you wake me up when it was raining?"

"Ao Si~" (I was just worried about waking you up~)

Ark was both annoyed and amused. Fortunately, the tropical dragon hadn't gotten wet and was still dry, so Ark put it back into its Poké Ball.

The manor is very large, and the Pokémon don't like to go into Poké Balls. Ark usually lets them roam freely.

Then Ark, holding an umbrella, came to the hive. Robin had set up shelters for the beehives to protect them from the wind and rain, but Ark was still a little worried and ran over to check.

"Buzz~" A three-horned bee was woken up in the middle of the night and flew out of the hive impatiently, its quills bristling.

Upon seeing that it was Fang Zhou, his expression immediately softened.

So it's you, Lord!

"Three bees, it's raining, did you get wet?"

The three bees shook their heads, indicating that they were fine.

That's it.

The Ark then headed to its last stop, the Chicken House.

Seeing that the chicken coop was dry and the chicks were all safe and sound, he finally felt relieved and headed back to the coop.

A sudden gust of wind blew by, causing the umbrella to sway.

hiss~

Rain lashed against his body, soaking half of Fangzhou's body.

Back in the cozy cabin, Kirlia noticed that Ark's hair was wet and quickly handed him a hairdryer.

"Suri suri~" (Blow on it quickly, don't catch a cold)

It still has to be Kirlia, my little darling.

"Thank you, Kirullian."

Huhuhu~

The hot air quickly dispelled the chill from his body. The little fire monkey was awakened by the sound of the hairdryer and opened his sleepy eyes.

She climbed out of bed, ran to Fang Zhou, and threw herself into his arms.

"Chirp~" (Hug, to warm you up)

A warm feeling instantly spread throughout my body, dispelling the chill of the rainy night.

After drying his hair, Fangzhou contentedly held a little fire monkey in one arm and a wind sprite in the other.

Go back to sleep.

Once Ark and the other Pokémon were fast asleep, Tropius's Poké Ball shook.

snort!

The Ark's bed is where the little fire monkey sleeps, and the wind sprite sleeps too...

Am I, a tropical dragon, not allowed to sleep?

A flash of red light, and the massive body of the tropical dragon appeared on the bed.

Crunch, crunch~

The small wooden bed groaned under the strain.
