One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

Chapter 188 Ranch Story, Monster Hunt, Stardew Valley

The adult egret dragons in the dragon house showed unusual intimacy towards Daoji's arrival.

Several nimble egret eagle dragons lightly surrounded the blade spine, lowering their noble heads from time to time and gently stroking the blade spine's body with their delicate feathers.

"Haha, Master Daoji is still so popular with the Heron Eagle Dragon."

Lisa looked at this scene, chuckled, then trotted to the corner of the dragon house, picked up a sharp dung fork, and began to clean the dragon house diligently while the egret dragon was dancing around the knife spine.

The egret dragons are very clean and intelligent creatures. They even have special places for poop, so Lisa only needs to fork the collected poop into a bucket and take it away.

In this world, everything has its special use, including monster feces.

These feces can be used as natural fertilizer for crops, increasing crop yields.

It can also be used as a blending material for hunters, and processed into a smelly ball together with the material jade.

These smelly balls wrapped in feces and specially treated can have a good interference effect on many monsters with a sensitive sense of smell.

Some monsters even run away because they can't stand the stench.

Link looked at Blade Spine who was busy feeding the Egret Dragon, then looked at the girl who was working diligently. He thought about it and felt that it was not good for him to do nothing.

He ran to the corner, picked up a dung fork, and followed Lisa to fork dung.

"Ah, thank you Mr. Link."

Seeing Link offering to help, Lisa thanked him quietly.

"It's a small matter. Brother Daoji has taken good care of me in the past. It's my duty to help."

Link smiled. To be honest, the smell here was not pleasant, but hunters were not so particular. It was just a strange odor and he could still bear it.

Although he was not as skilled as Lisa in forking manure, at least he didn't get it on himself.

"Well, it looks like the Heronhawks are all in good health today."

While busy at work, Lisa began to take the initiative to talk to Link.

Before Link could ask, she continued.

"Look, Mr. Link, these feces are moderately hard and soft, neither dry nor wet, which is proof that they are in good health."

As she spoke, Lisa poked a pile of feces on the ground with a dung fork and pushed it aside for Link to see.

Lisa had obviously learned a lot of knowledge related to animal husbandry from Daoji. As Daoji's apprentice, she didn't have to do these miscellaneous tasks.

But by observing the excrement of farmed animals, you can judge their health from the texture and color of their feces.

So she would rather do the work here herself than hand it over to others.

In response, Link gave an awkward but polite smile.

I just feel like useless knowledge has increased.

He is not a rider, so this knowledge is of no use to him.

When Felyne is feeling unwell, he will speak up and even go to the doctor.

The dog's physique is very strong and he can eat everything. He has never seen this guy get sick.

For hunters, studying monster feces means at best observing the residue to see what the monster likes to eat, and then putting drugs in its food, in this way giving the monster abnormal states such as paralysis, sleep, poison, etc.

Hunting monsters is not just about using weapons. You can also use drugs, traps, sneak attacks, and explosive barrels...

There are many ways to do it. As long as you choose the right direction, you can hunt large monsters even without weapons.

In this way, Lisa talked and Link listened, while Dao Ji was busy combing the hair, stroking, and trimming the toes of the egret dragons. For a moment, the three of them forgot their respective identities.

They concentrate on doing their own things, which is both harmonious and warm.

-

"I'm sorry, Link. You came to see me, but I ended up asking you, my guest, to help me with the work."

In the cafeteria of the Riders' headquarters, Dao Ji sat at the dining table and apologized to Link with an apologetic look on his face.

The three of them were busy for the whole afternoon. It was not until Lisa's stomach growled with hunger that they realized it was time for dinner, and they went to the cafeteria together.

While waiting for the food to be served, Dao Ji said these words to Link.

"Heh, Brother Daoji, don't say that, I'm having a lot of fun too."

In one afternoon, Link did more than just the work of forking dung, in addition to going to the Heron Eagle Dragon's dragon house.

He also sheared the wool of the cloud sheep and deer, milked the herbivorous dragon, and trimmed the hooves of the black tea eagle.

It's a rare opportunity to experience the life of a ranch owner.

"Haha, really? That's good. If you're interested, you can come next time."

Hearing Link say this, Daoji showed a bright smile on his face as if he had met a like-minded person.

After several years at the Dondorma Riders Headquarters, he has already become familiar with life here.

Milk the cows, shear the fur, trim the hooves, comb the fur, and take care of all kinds of monster eggs.

Compared to simply raising fang hounds in Yanhuo Village, the way monsters were raised in Dongdorma opened his eyes.

The food is much better too.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, meow."

A pink curly-haired cat brought a large plate and started serving food to the people.

At the dining table, besides Link and Dao Ji, Lisa and Chu Chu were also there.

In the afternoon, Chuchu rested in Daoji's room. When it was time to eat, Link called her out.

The meals at the Riders’ Headquarters are very rich, and all the dishes here are home-grown.

A large cup of herbivorous dragon egg milk, a whole roasted cloud sheep deer steak, black tea oyster cheese potato pancakes, mixed dragon meat burger...

Seeing the dishes coming, several people didn't hesitate. The afternoon work had consumed a lot of their physical energy, and they all started to eat and drink with big mouthfuls.

Even the little girl Lisa, who looks soft and chewy, eats quite heartily. She can finish a dragon meat burger as thick as Link's face in just a few bites.

Link first took a big sip of the egg milk, which had a delicate and silky taste, a light milky aroma, and was rich in protein and milk fat.

The milk is from the herbivorous dragon, and the eggs are from the maru bird. After both are fully stewed and a small amount of honey is added, the taste is excellent.

Then Link took a big bite of the Cloud Sheep Deer Steak. This steak was roasted using the most common roasting method used by hunters. The outer skin was slightly crispy but not bitter. It had a light burnt smell but was fragrant.

The meat inside is rich in gravy, and when you take a bite, your mouth is filled with the rich meaty aroma.

There is also a mixed dragon meat burger. Although this thing looks like junk food, that is just some people's prejudice.

Whole wheat bread + fresh lettuce + perfectly fried meat patties + onions + cheese + tomatoes.

Absolutely every one of them is nutritious and contains a variety of vitamins.

Cheese potato pancakes contain not only cheese and ground cheese, but also shredded bacon. The rich cheese aroma explodes on the taste buds when you take a bite, making you unable to stop eating.

It's just a little hot, which is not very friendly to Chuchu who has a cat tongue.
