Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

"Huh?" The moment the three bees brought out the honey, Kent immediately smelled an unusual aroma.

In the past, honey had a floral scent and a sweet taste, which only people who had worked in the honey industry for a long time could smell.

The honey that Fangzhou took out had a slightly refreshing taste, which instantly reminded him of the refreshing taste of parsnip, a herb that can cut through greasiness.

Once the lid was opened and the honey inside was revealed, Kent could no longer maintain his nonchalant, aloof demeanor.

The honey in the jar was surprisingly amber in color!

Amber-colored honey is actually quite common.

Although it is considered top-grade honey, many large-scale honey producers can still cultivate it, as long as they pay extra attention to the crops they grow and the condition of the bees.

The rarest honey is the most difficult to cultivate.

The problem is that Fangzhou is a young man who has only been in charge of the manor for a month, and he doesn't believe that Fangzhou had previously studied honey brewing techniques.

He couldn't help but think of one possibility.

I've heard before that in order to produce high-quality honey, some people have devised a heretical practice.

That is, feeding the three bees coffee continuously can keep them in a high-energy state for a long time.

Not giving them enough rest is tantamount to draining the pond to catch all the fish, which depletes the life force of the three bees.

Could it be that Fangzhou stole this method from somewhere?

But less than half a second later, he dismissed the idea and looked at the few bees that were secretly watching him, their little expressions expectant of his evaluation.

Yes, very energetic and full of vitality!

It doesn't seem like the kind of bee that has been exploited for a long time.

Moreover, as a very experienced honey buyer, I know that if honey is brewed using unorthodox methods, it will have a bitter taste.

It's just that ordinary people can't taste the difference unless they've been in contact with honey for a long time, which is why that kind of honey can circulate in the market.

As an experienced honey company owner, he can tell the difference just by tasting it.

Just then, Fang Zhou asked, "Uncle Kent, would you like to try some?"

Seeing Uncle Kent suddenly fall silent after seeing the honey, Fangzhou couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Could it be that the description in the book is wrong, and that these honeys are actually of very poor quality?

He quickly grabbed a small disposable bowl, scooped some out with a spoon, and handed it to Kent, while also scooping out a portion for Aunt Jody.

"Hmm~ I'll try it." I only judged by sight and smell before, but in the end I still have to taste it.

Honey enters the mouth.

sweet.

slip.

Run.

The next moment, a faint, refreshing fragrance spread in my mouth.

Ah!

Kent's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth opened, and a burst of golden holy light erupted forth!

With his eyes closed, he felt as if he were lying on a huge, soft bed of honey!

It's soft and smells sweet all around!

good to eat!

Just as I had predicted, the quality was very high, and the taste even exceeded my expectations, almost rivaling the quality of rare, top-grade honey.

His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but gasp. "Your honey is from parsnip pollen?"

Parsnip flowers produce little pollen, so few people would do this; it's a thankless task.

This young man has some ideas.

Fangzhou nodded, thinking to himself that he was indeed a professional; he could tell what kind of pollen the honey was made from just by tasting it.

"Good, good, good," Kent said three times, clearly praising him highly.

Although I still find it incredible that the estate can produce this level of honey in just one month, I imagine that in time, even top-grade honey will be produced.

But after all, there will always be some geniuses in the world.

Aunt Jody, standing behind him, couldn't help but smile when she saw the look on her husband's face after tasting the honey.

Although she didn't know as much about honey as her husband, she knew one thing.

The company is finally saved.

Next came the most crucial step: negotiating the price.

Kent had previously thought that even if the honey was of poor quality, he would still buy some to give the newcomer to the estate some confidence.

Now, however, he's worried about whether the Ark will be sold to him.

"I won't lie to you, the company is on the verge of bankruptcy. The honey industry is being maliciously competed with by Rocket Entertainment, and our cash flow is extremely tight. We urgently need high-quality honey to break out of this predicament, so your honey is extremely important to us."

Kent spoke to the ark with great seriousness and sincerity.

"Once your honey hits the market, it's sure to sell like hotcakes."

"However, due to funding issues, we may not be able to give you the money so quickly. We'll have to wait until the company's operations are back on track before we can give it to you. I'll try my best to give you the money within three days."

In other words, you buy on credit first.

Kent was very frank, "Besides, Rocket Entertainment is targeting us right now. If you sell to them, you'll not only get the money right now, but you'll also get a higher price..."

"Kent, what are you saying?" His wife, Jody, quickly tried to stop him from continuing.

This is practically selling them to Rocket Entertainment!

This is simply digging their own grave!

But Kent insisted on finishing his story, saying that this information couldn't be hidden and that Ark could easily find it by simply searching online.

Furthermore, there are rumors that Rocket Entertainment has been secretly monitoring him in order to target him, and it is believed that soon someone will come to Ark to buy honey.

Instead of doing that, let's be sincere now.

"However, I hope you can believe me, and also for the sake of my father's long-standing friendship with your grandfather, please help me and trust me."

"While we can't offer the outrageous price we did for Rocket Entertainment right now, we can give you some shares in Three Bees Honey Company."

"If you want to brand your estate, we can label it on the packaging to help increase your estate's visibility, making it easier for you to sell other agricultural products in the future."

He didn't mention that his father had helped Grandpa Fangzhou during the most difficult time when he was just starting out, which made it seem like he was taking advantage of the situation.

Fangzhou was slightly moved by what Uncle Kent said; the other man had told him everything that could and could not be said.

This Uncle Kent is a very honest man.

Fang Zhou nodded. "Don't worry, Uncle. I've heard about Grandpa's situation. Since the manor and Three Bees Honey Company had a partnership back then, let's continue that partnership in the future."

Upon hearing Fang Zhou's words, Kent's face lit up, and the heavy weight that had been on his heart was finally lifted.

With the decision to cooperate made both parties feel much more relaxed, Fangzhou welcomed Kent into the house and they finalized the cooperation details and signed a contract.

Kent helps Ark register a trademark and also helps with its operation, essentially making it a product launched in collaboration between the manor and the company.

The Pokémon Manor brand, which has been dormant for many years, is finally about to reappear.

Before leaving, Fang Zhou asked, "Uncle, do you know how to make honey reach the level of a treasure?"

Having worked in the honey industry for so many years, Kent must have seen what top-quality honey looks like.

Kent immediately understood why this young man was able to produce such high-quality honey in just one month.

So eager to learn, so diligent, so ambitious, you'll succeed no matter what you do.

"Treasure-grade honey... To be honest, I've only ever seen your grandfather make it. Now that you can make such high-quality honey using parsnip flowers, the Three Bees must be strong enough."

"I think you could try tulips. I remember your grandfather used to make wine with tulips."

Fangzhou silently kept it in mind, planning to buy tulip seeds and try it out the next day.
