Therefore, the price of Mare sheep wool is not high in the market.
The wool produced by Wooloo, a sheep-type Pokémon, is far less valuable than that of Wooloo.
After experiencing Mare's electricity up close (actually, he was shocked by the startled Mare while trying to secretly pet her), Fang Gu finally gave up the idea of raising Mare.
"Ah, if only there were woolly sheep in the Carlos region."
Fang Gu sighed, then thought of Galer's old friend Yalo, who followed his Douyin account.
I'll try asking around later if I can get some wool sheep through Yalo's connections.
Judy shook her head; she had never seen such a stubborn rancher dare to handle Mare sheep without wearing insulated gloves.
Wait... I think I've seen this before.
Judy recalled that many years ago, when she first met Grandpa Fang Gu, he had a ridiculous afro.
The answer was that she had been electrocuted by an angry sheep.
It really is a cycle.
Judy smiled unconsciously. "Alright, Fang Gu, do you want to find the baby duck or the little sheep to ride next?"
"The little lamb mount, isn't it nearby?"
Fang Gu pointed to the little sheep that were positioned near the sheep.
The mount sheep is a Grass-type Pokémon that can resist Mareep's static electricity, so it can be raised together with other Pokémon.
The little sheep mount is the signature Pokémon of Grass-type farms.
He had also seen Master Fu's training plan for the little sheep mount on the bookshelf in the tea room, and he was quite confident in training the little sheep mount.
While riding lambs and riding goats do not produce wool, they can produce fresh goat milk.
Goat milk is more precious than goat milk.
Meanwhile, Fanggu's artisan catalog also records a special machine—a cheese press—that can press goat milk into cheese.
The production process of this cheese is quite complex, and it can fetch a high price in the market.
The cheese press made by Fang Gu's golden finger can be completed in about half a day after you put in goat milk.
Judy whistled, and the surrounding goats, upon hearing it, came over with their little goats.
In a herd of riding goats, the parents will stay by the young goats' side as they grow up.
Therefore, any rancher who wants to buy a riding lamb must first obtain the approval of the riding goats.
Many ranchers who want to buy a riding lamb fail at this step.
Judy introduced Fang Gu to the goats, and also introduced each of the goats to Fang Gu.
Each of the different riding sheep has a unique personality.
Some timid children hid behind their parents, secretly observing Fang Gu, while others were bold enough to go up and secretly lick Fang Gu's palm.
"Bah."
A mountain goat, watching Fang Gu playing with his lamb, vaguely saw the shadow of an old friend.
The goat looked at Judy and understood the answer from her eyes.
As expected, this person was a descendant of the old master.
Salty tears welled up in the eyes of the goat that was riding it.
Its mate stuck out its tongue to wipe away the goat's tears and nudged the goat's body.
The mountain goat, with its head lowered, nudged the smaller goat that was leaning against Fang Gu with its enormous horns.
That's its child.
Fang Gu hugged the little lamb he was riding, which was snuggling into his arms, looking completely bewildered.
"Mountain goat, are you entrusting your child to me?"
"But why?"
Fang Gu hasn't even started drawing the cake yet.
Judy walked over to her goat mount, gently patted its horns, and answered for it.
"Because this riding goat came from your ranch."
Chapter 55 Let's take a run!
"I don't think I've told you yet how I met Uncle Fang, who is also your grandfather, right?"
Judy stroked the horns of her goat mount, a look of reminiscence in her eyes.
At that time, she seemed to be younger than Fang Gu, only in her early teens. Her parents had passed away early, and Judy and her sister depended on each other for survival.
To support them, the older sister had to leave for work every morning before dawn, leaving her younger sister Judy locked in a cramped little room.
At that time, Judy also hoped to help her sister, at least so that she wouldn't have to stay in that hopeless little room forever.
She recalled the time when her mother took her to the countryside to dig for wild vegetables.
"If I could dig up some wild vegetables and sell them at the general store, maybe my sister wouldn't have to work so hard..." Little Judy thought, counting the wild vegetables and fruits she had collected on her fingers.
Springtime leeks and dandelions, summer's fragrant berries, autumn's blackberries...
As for winter, Judy disliked the cold and never went out to dig for wild vegetables with her mother.
With a plan in mind, Judy quickly slipped out the window while her sister was away and headed west towards Crescent Bird Town.
Soon, she noticed a clump of green leaves in front of a clump of grass not far away, with a semi-circular white object mixed with soil underneath.
Judy's eyes lit up immediately.
It's leek, a close relative of onion, and it tastes delicious.
The selling price in the store is 60 Alliance Coins, and if the quality is good, it can even sell for 120 Alliance Coins.
Overjoyed, Judy realized she hadn't brought any tools. Afraid her discovery would be eaten by a passing Pokémon, Judy grabbed a leek leaf and pulled it backward.
Good news, she successfully pulled out the leeks.
The bad news is, she fell hard on her bottom and her whole body aches terribly.
Judy looked at the desolate place, with no village in sight and the creeping bushes around her looking quite frightening.
In addition, her older sister often told her urban legends about Ghost-type Pokémon, which led to her having an inexplicable aversion to Pokémon.
Fang Gu's grandfather happened to pass by and rescued her, taking her back to Stardew Valley Ranch.
It turns out that the spot where Judy picked the leeks was on the only road connecting Stardew Valley Ranch and Crescent Moon Town.
At Stardew Valley Ranch, Judy met so many cute and friendly Pokémon for the first time, especially a little lamb that would affectionately lick Judy's wounds, making her feel ticklish.
At that time, Fang Gu's grandfather told her with a smile, "The little lamb is helping you heal your wounds. Its saliva contains substances that promote wound healing."
Judy doesn't remember much about what happened after that, only that she played with the Pokémon on the ranch for an afternoon and fell asleep on the grass.
Behind them, Fang Gu's grandfather and his little sheep escorted Judy back.
Afterwards, Grandpa Fang Gu said something to Judy's sister, and she was allowed to work at Stardew Valley Ranch in her spare time.
Not only does she take care of Pokémon, but Grandpa Fang Gu also pays her an hourly wage as compensation.
Judy touched the horns of her goat mount, and they smiled at each other. "Looking back now, that time was both happy and a little regrettable."
Ever since Grandpa Fang Gu gave up being a rancher and went home to take care of his grandson, he sent the Pokémon from his ranch to other ranches, but he left Judy with a little lamb as a mount, the same little lamb that licked Judy's wounds at the beginning.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Fang Gu also entrusted his young employee, Judy, to his old rival, Grandpa Fu.
The goat that Fang Gu was riding was evolved from the little goat he used to ride. Judy, who was halfway through her gym apprenticeship, had to leave Fookie due to family reasons and return to Crescent Moon Town to start a new ranch.
"Isn't this great? Why is there still regret?"
Fang Gu gently stroked the fur of his mount, a goat. This goat was excellent in both its fur and its appearance, comparable to the ace goat that Fang Gu had seen before, Fu Ye's.
"Perhaps because it developed relatively late, the goat mount did not evolve until your grandfather passed away."
"It was very envious of its previous companions who evolved into goat mounts and were able to carry your grandfather over mountains and valleys."
"Unfortunately……"
A hint of sadness flickered in Judy's eyes.
Fang Gu's grandfather has passed away.
Upon hearing this, Fang Gu walked up to his mountain goat and gently stroked its horns. He seemed to be able to sense the sadness in the mountain goat's heart.
He gently nudged the horns of his goat mount, saying, "I believe that if Grandpa saw you like this, he would be very proud of you and Judy."
The goat's gaze fell on Fang Gu, then it turned its head to look at its back, gesturing to Fang Gu.
"You just want me to run a lap with you?" Fang Gu was taken aback, then his face lit up with fighting spirit. "Come on! Let me finish what Grandpa didn't finish!"
Fang Gu nimbly flipped himself onto the back of his mountain goat.
This wasn't the first time he had ridden a goat.
"You two!" Judy covered her face. "How can you be so willful!"
"But that's good, it's time to get serious!"
Judy flipped herself onto the companion of her two riding goats, while behind them, the enthusiastic little goat was rubbing its hooves, ready to pounce.
"Here we go, riding the goat!!"
Fang Gu grabbed the horns of his mount, a goat, and the goat, sensing Fang Gu's excited mood, leaped up.
Judy followed closely behind, while her little lamb lagged behind.
"Bah!"
The goat's hoof landed among the sheep, startling them and sending up countless electric shocks. But long before the shocks struck, the goat's hoof had already leaped away like a dragonfly skimming the water.
"That's so exciting!"
Fang Gu felt the wind brushing against the tips of his hair, and countless "crackling" sounds fell behind him.
In an instant, Fang Gu understood that the goat in front of him, who was already a parent, was also a fellow who didn't like to follow the usual path.
