Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Dart and Lin, Lin Xia went to the grocery store to buy seven bags of wheat flour for 7. She originally wanted to spend 350 to buy a larger backpack, but eating was the most important thing at the moment.

Lin Xia rushed to the dwarfs' homes and gave each dwarf his beloved wheat flour. When she delivered it to Bordeaux, he thanked her in surprise: "Today is my birthday! I am so happy!"

After giving the gifts, Lin Xia checked the favorability of the dwarves and found that Bordeaux's favorability had risen from the initial 1 star to 3 stars, while the other dwarves were still 1 star. It seems that the favorability gained by giving birthday gifts is 2 stars! So Lin Xia immediately asked Bordeaux to help water the plants for 7 days, starting from tomorrow, the 5th. Bordeaux happily agreed.

After leaving the dwarf's house, Lin Xia searched for all the herbs and bamboo shoots that could be found on the beach and in the back hills. Today's harvest was as follows:

Bamboo shoots 18 pieces*50=900G;

A total of 6*100=600G of various herbs were picked.

Yesterday's fund balance was 6920, and after deducting 350 for wheat flour, there was still 6570G left; if the settlement of mountain products is added, 8070G can be obtained today, which is enough money for ordering food tomorrow, and there will be some surplus to buy wheat flour for the dwarves.

Lin Xia finished her calculations in her mind and rushed home to eat. She still had to reclaim land in the afternoon, so she had to hurry up.

After dinner, Lin Xia took inventory of the seeds purchased yesterday. There were still 8 bags of radishes and 9 bags of potatoes left. He decided to open up 17 acres of land today and plant the remaining seeds.

Lin Xia did what he said. He first selected the field closest to the house. Otherwise, he would have to run far away every time to water or harvest. For him who was short of time, it was definitely not possible. Secondly, he excluded the places with large stones and large wooden stakes in the fields as usual, and selected the most suitable 9 acres of land connected together. Some of the places that had been cleaned yesterday had weeds growing again. Hey, he first used a sickle to clean up the weeds that could be cut; then he used an axe to chop all the branches in the field into wood; he used a hammer to smash the small stones into stone, and stored them in the ranch warehouse. In the future, the expansion of the house, animal huts and chicken and rabbit huts will all require wood and stone. If the materials are not enough, you have to spend money to buy them. One material costs 50G, and wood and stone can also be shipped, but the selling price is only 10G. So if you have time, it is more economical to accumulate them yourself!

It took Lin Xia nearly an hour and a half to clean up all the debris on the selected ground. Then he went back to change the farm tools. Oh, it was so troublesome to have a small backpack!

This time, I brought a hoe and carrot and potato seeds, which filled my backpack again. I could only get the water bottle after I finished planting. I quickly hoeed the 17 acres of land. During the hoeing process, I was lucky enough to dig up a power fruit. I swallowed it directly, which increased my physical strength by 10%. My limbs, which were already a little weak, were full of strength again! In addition to the power fruit, I could pick up some money from time to time during the hoeing, but the amount was very small, usually 10G or 20G. I also encountered field mice, which scared Lin Xia from time to time. Lin Xia likes bamboo rats that can be eaten, so forget about field mice.

With the bonus of the fruit of strength, it took less than an hour to hoe the land. He quickly sowed all the seeds, then went back to the house to change tools again, kettle, fishing rod, and axe. After watering, Lin Xia planned to continue fishing to increase his income. Since there is a limit on the quantity of mountain products, fishing is definitely no problem. Although the current level of fishing rods can only catch some small fish, the shipping price is really not high, but it is unlimited! This is the key, ants can still bite elephants to death, right?

Lin Xia encouraged herself secretly and spent another hour watering all the land. Lin Xia went to the river at the edge of the pasture to start fishing. Today's luck was slightly better than yesterday. Finally, before 1 pm, she caught 5 small fish, which were:

4 golden crucian carps, 2 male fish, 3 loaches, 1 earthworm, 1 peach blossom fish

. . . . . .

What kind of fish are these? I've never heard of them before, but it doesn't affect Lin Xia's exchange for money. Lin Xia happily put all the fishing results into the shipping box before Zach came. As soon as she finished putting them, she greeted Zach, who walked into the ranch on time with great energy. When he saw Lin Xia, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm here to collect the goods!"

After Lin Xia responded, she went back to the house to have dinner. She had used up a lot of energy today, so she planned to go to the hot springs after dinner to recover her energy.

During the meal, Lin Xia pulled up the ranch map and planned to calculate in detail how big his field was, how many crops he could grow, and whether it was feasible to make money from farming.

The map of the ranch showed that the field was 43 squares long * 25 squares wide = 1075 squares. One mu of land, calculated according to the 9*9 specification, could be divided into 14 squares long * 8 squares wide = 112 mu, which means that 112 bags of seeds could be sown without wasting. There was one square left in the middle of the field, horizontally and vertically, totaling 43+25-1=67 squares. Lin Xia planned to put these 67 squares in the middle of the field for easy walking, but it couldn't be wasted, so he could plant grass and feed cattle and sheep.

So how much money can you make if you plant crops entirely on 112 acres of land?

If you plant the cheapest radish in spring, the seed cost is 120G/bag, and the harvest price of radish is 60G*9=540G, the net profit is 540-120=420G/mu, and the net profit of the whole field is 420*112=G. Moreover, radish can be harvested in 5 days. If you start planting from the 1st of spring, you can harvest 7 times in total, so the final profit is *7≈32.93G! ! ! Indeed, to get rich, you must plant the land first!

Lin Xia felt that she was okay again!

This is just the cheapest way to grow radishes. The key is that as long as you have a good relationship with the dwarfs, you only need to sow the seeds in the later stage, and you can leave the watering and harvesting to the dwarfs. You can just do whatever you want, go fishing, pet the dog, go out to eat, and flirt with handsome guys when you have free time... This is the life of a dream!

Lin Xia's mouth was drooling all over the floor. When she saw the bread in her hand, she regained her consciousness. To achieve such a standard of living, there is still a long way to go! Faced with the huge property of 112 acres of land, only 21 acres have been opened up so far, and there is only one dwarf friend... Lin Xia wiped her saliva and finished the bread in her hand. She quickly took her backpack and went out to recover her strength first, and continued to work hard for the life of her dreams!
