Chapter 27 Vegetarian Fruit Curry
Even when Luo Mu stood on the fields in the farming area, he was still struggling with the questions and answers he had previously had with the system.
First of all, there was no problem with his general direction in handling Pokémon eggs. Whether it was hatching nutrient solution or looking for powerful Pokémon with the Fire Body attribute, it was the right decision.
However, what he cared more about was the phrase "the distant past". Did the system mean that this elf egg came from a long time ago, or from ancient times?
In this case, this elf egg might have some origin.
Although he had some guesses in his mind, Luo Mu was not sure. Perhaps his guess would only be confirmed on the day the elf egg hatched.
Luo Mu stopped struggling and smiled at Bai Pengpeng who was waiting by the side and eager to try, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Bai Pengpeng was much more lively than yesterday. He jumped around and seemed to like the farm environment very much. He answered Luo Mu's questions directly with his actions.
The two young cotton balls seemed a little reluctant to let go, probably because they found themselves in a strange place after waking up, and they couldn't accept it quickly. They just hid timidly behind Bai Pengpeng and quietly observed Luo Mu and the Monarch Snake and Swampert beside him.
Luo Mu smiled and was not in a hurry to get along with the young cotton trees. He said to Bai Pengpeng, "I am going to plant some seeds this morning. You can take the young cotton trees for a walk in the fenced area to familiarize yourself with the environment. After I am done, I will make a small wooden nest for you and the young cotton trees so that you can sleep more comfortably."
Bai Pengpeng nodded, knowing that he could not help during the farming stage. He chose to follow Luo Mu's arrangements and took young Mianmian to play and explore the unknown environment around him.
Watching the three jumping figures gradually going away, Luo Mu looked up at the cloudless sky and said to himself: "It seems that today is a sunny day, which is perfect for working in the fields."
After saying that, Luo Mu put on a straw hat, picked up an iron hoe, called on Swampert and Serpenti, and planned to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
Today's goal is to plant all the seeds!
Under the clear blue sky, Luo Mu waved his hoe to dig a small hole, and then placed the last bit of strawberry seeds in his hand, or rather the strawberry skin, into the soil.
Then the Monarch Snake controlled the whip vines to roll up the scattered soil on the side and cover it. Swampert then brought a bucket of ordinary water that did not contain water energy, and Luo Mu poured a small amount of it evenly on the soil.
The complete planting process is completed. Next, we just need to wait for the white puffballs to come back and apply nutrients to the seeds.
Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief, washed his hands at the Swampert, and looked at the five small farmlands in front of him that were separated from each other. He felt a strong sense of accomplishment filling his heart.
This was his first step towards pastoral life and a small step in the development of the farm.
Today is a memorable day. Although Luo Mu really wants to take this opportunity to name the farm directly, but considering Dragonite who is out collecting wood, and Roentgen who is out searching for powerful Pokémon with the trait of Flame Body, Luo Mu decides to postpone this desire for a while.
Such a memorable thing should be done after all members are present.
Seeing that Puffy and the others had not returned yet, Luo Mu suspected that they would not get lost in this not-so-big farm, so he sent out Monarch Snake and Swampert to bring them back. He went to see why the kid Papa had not gotten up after sleeping until noon.
The straight-line distance from the farm to the villa is the shortest, followed by the undeveloped pasture area and the farthest lake area in order of distance.
Luo Mu carried the hoe and hummed a little tune. He reached the door of his house in three or four minutes. He looked up as if he had suddenly realized something and found that Papa was lying on the windowsill on the third floor, looking into the distance with confused eyes, with an inexplicable melancholy tone in his eyes.
Good fellow, how can he live like a frustrated middle-aged man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life at the age of ten? Luo Mu leaned the hoe against the wall, opened the door and rushed to the third floor. He grabbed Papa, who was pretending to be melancholy with dark circles under his eyes, and said unhappily: "So you didn't listen to what I said to you yesterday?" "Look at your dark circles. What time did you go to bed last night?"
Piper yawned and said weakly, "Four o'clock."
Luo Mu: “.”
Staring at the ten-year-old child in front of him who was quarreling with his parents, Luo Mu even doubted whether such a childish Papa could really go out traveling like the super rookie who was also ten years old?
Luo Mu was skeptical about this.
There was no need to correct Papa's awkward temper today. Luo Mu loosened the back collar of Papa's clothes and said, "Forget it, go wash up quickly. I have to prepare lunch."
Although Papa is currently in a rebellious period and is at odds with his parents, he still completely obeys Luo Mu's words except for matters related to his parents.
She put on her little slippers and ran to the bathroom on the first floor.
Luo Mu walked to the kitchen, opened the cupboard and checked the remaining ingredients, muttering: "It would be nice to have a refrigerator, I can freeze some meat, but the finances are a bit tight now, so I'd better eat vegetarian and game for a while. Today, I'll have vegetarian berry curry rice!"
After saying that, Luo Mu took out the side dishes needed for the curry, such as carrots, onions, and half a bag of unfinished curry powder from the cupboard one by one.
As for the meat, since they had just finished eating meat and hadn't bought any yet, and the white puffballs probably couldn't handle meat, Luo Mu took out a few large, plump peaches from the cupboard. These were samples Peter had given him when he visited Jones Farm, so that he could try them.
Now it’s just right for cooking.
The taste of peach fruit is more like some kind of light-flavored, juicy pulp than a peach. It is not actually a dark dish when paired with curry rice. Luo Mu tried it once and it tasted pretty good.
The method of making curry for curry rice is very simple. Use a small amount of hot oil to stir-fry the side dishes. Because the peaches will become unpalatable when they come into contact with hot oil, you must first add warm water to cover the ingredients, then wait for the water to boil and put in the peaches cut into bite-sized pieces, and finally cook the curry sauce until it becomes thick.
After doing all this, Luo Mu scooped up a little bit of curry and tasted it. The sweet curry was light and sweet. After tasting it carefully, the delicate taste was endless aftertaste. This was all thanks to the flavor of the peach fruit itself.
I think as the first meal of the new member, Bai Pengpeng and the others should like it.
Luo Mu removed some of the firewood under the stove, kept the fire simmering, and covered the pot. For a moment, he missed the days when the Cang Yan Blade Ghost was here. The temperature of its flame was always controlled so precisely. It was really easy to get covered in dust if he used firewood to make a fire himself.
There is no gas in his suburban area, but having electricity and water is considered a good infrastructure in Pingdie Town.
