Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"Ah~~~~~~~Why not?"

A new day began with Lin Xia's extremely high-decibel scream of shock and anger!

After getting up in the morning, Lin Xia was ready to have dinner at her "Hogwarts" dining table as usual, but it was empty.

"Why is this happening?" Lin Xia searched the small house in disbelief, but still found no trace of anything. "I just enjoyed a normal diet for two days, and it's gone today?"

After searching every corner of the house, Lin Xia finally accepted the reality that the "Hogwarts" dining table was gone. Lin Xia took out a hot spring egg with grievance and ate it carefully. I thought, I have to spend my own money to buy food in the store. Isn't the game always providing food for the protagonist for free? Isn't it enough to have food and clothing? Why is it gone now? Did the system master find out that I am a fake?

One egg is not enough to satisfy hunger, but now Lin Xia doesn't have chickens, and there is no guarantee that she can find pheasant eggs every day, so the remaining four eggs should be saved for when they are most needed. At present, if I want to fill my stomach and maintain my physical strength, I can only give priority to the standard food in the grocery store - bread and rice balls. However, if I eat three meals a day, I will spend at least 4 a day, which is 3 a month? ! Such a high food cost! This is just the simplest diet. If I want a richer diet, I can either spend more money and eat out every day - go to a hotel; or have my own kitchen and start cooking for myself.

Eating out every day is definitely not an option, as it costs too much and would cost at least half of one's daily income; as for cooking, it is not possible now. To have a kitchen, the house must be expanded twice before there is a kitchen. After having a kitchen, various kitchen utensils and cooking materials must be purchased before one can cook. And Lin Xia is still just a poor little girl who makes money by picking up mountain products every day.

I feel so regretful!

There is no point in thinking so much, just work hard to make money and take care of your three meals a day first! Fortunately, the mountain products you pick up every day can earn you several thousand yuan. If you work harder, you may be able to earn more!

Lin Xia thought ambitiously, stroking her empty stomach, and prepared to go out to fight. As soon as she went out, she saw the mayor standing at the door, smiling and saying, "Oh, Lin Xia! I didn't realize you were amazing!"

What? What's going on? Lin Xia was completely confused!

"I didn't expect that in just three days, you've already been able to support yourself and cook for yourself!" The mayor continued, "So, starting today, we will no longer provide welfare meals. Of course, I believe you can definitely cook nutritious meals! Come on!"

. . . . . .

What a bolt from the blue! Lin Xia asked doubtfully, "Mayor, you said I cooked something? What dish?"

The mayor continued to smile and said, "Didn't you make hot spring eggs yesterday? This is a great dish! Muchi likes this dish very much!"

I see! Who made you greedy? You insisted on giving yourself a snack. Now, Lin Xia, the free meal is gone!

Lin Xia regretted it so much! Suddenly, Lin Xia saw a puppy playing not far away, and was shocked. Now she had to pay for her own food, so would she have to pay for the dog's food too?

Lin Xia quickly asked the mayor, who said cheerfully, "If you are not satisfied with the food we provide to Ah Huang now, you can feed it yourself. The method is very simple. As long as you feed it yourself, we will stop feeding it. Don't worry!"

The god is not satisfied, Lin Xia is too satisfied. Fortunately, she doesn't have to spend money to feed the dog, otherwise, Lin Xia really considers returning Ah Huang to the system god, because she is really short of money now. Lin Xia said that she will not feed Ah Huang anything in the future, don't even think about feeding him a blade of grass! Humph

"Of course, pet snacks don't count." The good-tempered mayor continued, "If you want to strengthen your relationship with your pet, we encourage you to feed your pet some snacks occasionally! But if you feed your pet staple food, it means that you have better food than what we provide, and we will stop providing it!"

After understanding the setting of the welfare meal, Lin Xia still wanted to struggle, so she asked: "Mayor, I accidentally made hot spring eggs yesterday, but it was actually a fluke. I still want to, can I still continue to eat the welfare meal?"

The mayor looked at me with sincerity and said with regret: "No, welfare meals can only be provided to people who don't have any cooking skills. You no longer meet the requirements!"

Lin Xia immediately lowered her head in frustration. "However," the mayor continued, "considering that young people nowadays are busy with work and cannot cook for themselves every day, Dart's store can accept meal orders! And if you order for a long time, there are discounts!"

After hearing this, Lin Xia was filled with hope again and looked at the mayor, "Really?"

"Yes." The mayor said and left.

Just after the mayor left, another person came, the only carpenter in the town - Gotz.

"Lin Xia, I have some bad news for you!" Gotz said seriously, "When I was inspecting the forest recently, I found that our forest had been severely damaged!"

!!!

Lin Xia felt wronged. She had only cut a few branches recently. She was not qualified to cut down trees. How could she be considered to have destroyed the forest?

"Forests are our most precious assets. We must protect them and never over-cut or over-exploit them," Goetz continued. "If forests are destroyed and not protected in time, they will die. That will be a tragedy for all of humanity!"

"Gotz, don't get excited. Can I ask what kind of harm Shanlin has suffered recently?" Lin Xia asked weakly.

"I recently discovered that the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forests have been over-harvested. If this continues, we will lose large tracts of bamboo forests next year, and there will be even fewer bamboo shoots," said Goetz.

It turned out to be bamboo shoots, Lin Xia thought, it seems that I picked too many yesterday and exceeded the upper limit of the system. It seems that I can't pick so many in the future.

"So, from now on, the number of bamboo shoots picked per day cannot exceed 18," Gotz said mercilessly.

God wants to kill me! Lin Xia felt like a bolt of lightning struck her head.

"I'm here today to inform every resident to be careful not to over-pick when you go up the mountain to pick bamboo shoots in the future." Gotz said with a gratified smile, "Fortunately, the residents of our town live a rich life and do not rely on mountain products. I was worried about Lin Xia, after all, you just took over the ranch and the economic situation is not good. But now there is no need to worry, you can be self-sufficient, it's amazing!"

!!!

So that's why, it was the pheasant eggs that caused the trouble! God is self-sufficient!

Goetz said and left.
