Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Lin Xia left Gotz's house contentedly. It was still early for dinner, so Lin Xia rushed to the mine without stopping and began to brush up on her proficiency in using tools.

The next focus is on the sprinkler, because even though Lin Xia gives gifts to the dwarves every day, the dwarves' favorability has now been raised to 6 stars. Among them, Bordeaux and Zhuokak have celebrated their birthdays respectively, so when they received gifts on their birthdays, their favorability directly increased by 2 stars. Their favorability has reached 8 stars, which is a great effect.

But although the favorability of the dwarves is no problem now, their proficiency in work cannot be improved overnight. Because the harvest time of various crops is staggered, it is basically possible for one dwarf to be responsible for harvesting, even if the work efficiency is still low; but watering cannot keep up, especially since Lin Xia has now opened up 1 acres of land, and this is still Lin Xia controlling his own land opening speed. It is impossible for all the dwarves to water the entire 81 grids, so Lin Xia currently only has 729 acres of land planted, and he has to assist the dwarves in watering to complete it. Now every day, 61 dwarves are responsible for watering, 5 dwarf is harvesting, and the remaining dwarf is turnover.

Therefore, Lin Xia decided to upgrade the watering can to mithril after upgrading the sickle, so that Lin Xia could help with watering later. The mithril watering can can water 15 grids at a time, which is quite efficient.

The current planting situation of Linxia's 61 acres of land is as follows:

There are 8 acres of cucumbers, 30 acres of potatoes, and the remaining 23 acres are radishes. Although radishes are cheap, their growing period is short and they can be harvested in 5 days.

Lin Xia plans to just open up the land in preparation for summer planting, but will not plant any more crops because it will be too late to water them after planting. Also, Lin Xia's finances are no longer tight, so he can completely relax!

In the remaining 10 days or so of spring, Lin Xia plans to focus on improving his proficiency in using the tools, and then wait for upgrades. Once the tools are upgraded and polished, he will save time and effort in future work.

With the addition of cattle and sheep breeding later, life becomes more and more colorful!

After Lin Xia finished practicing with the kettle, she went home for dinner. Today's dinner was much richer. It seemed that Dart also realized that Lin Xia's daily bread and rice balls must be enough, so when he went to change the set meal today, he immediately arranged it for the evening.

I feel so happy!

After dinner, Lin Xia went to the small river south of the ranch to fish as usual. Recently, there are many kinds of small fish caught, but the most caught are crucian carp, carp and sunfish. Occasionally, loach is also caught, but the fish caught by the primary fishing rod are really small!

Lin Xia sighed as he fished, but he realized that the fish were not for eating, they were all for sale. When he upgraded his fishing rod and caught a big fish, Lin Xia would definitely enjoy a good feast.

At 8 o'clock, the animals all returned to their own houses automatically. Lin Xia also put away the fishing rod, put the fish he caught into the shipping box, and went home!

The next morning, as soon as Lin Xia finished breakfast and went out, she ran into the mayor, who informed her, "Lin Xia, there will be a cooking festival at Rose Square tomorrow, which is also a cooking competition. Everyone can bring their own specialty dishes to participate. Do you want to participate?"

Lin Xia was thinking, MMP~ I don’t even have a kitchen, and you’re asking me if I want to participate in a cooking competition? Is it to compete in eating?

After Lin Xia told the mayor that she was willing but unable to do so, the mayor understood and continued, "It's okay, you can participate next year. Although you can't participate in the competition, you can still come to the scene to watch other people's competitions and see everyone's delicious food!"

"Okay, Mayor!" Lin Xia saw the mayor off with gratitude.

Today, Gotz came with tools and materials to help Lin Xia expand the house. After Lin Xia greeted Gotz, she started today's daily work.

After taking care of the animals at home, I opened up another 5 acres of land and cleared the weeds in the fields. It was 9: in the morning and I had to go buy some cattle and sheep to feed!

Lin Xia ran excitedly all the way to the cattle and sheep ranch, greeted Mu Qi and Mei respectively, and gave Mei the flowers she picked in the back mountain yesterday, which earned her a sweet smile. She also gave Mu Qi the hot spring eggs she made in the hot spring yesterday. Mu Qi was as happy as a child, and he took the eggs and put them away.

He immediately turned around and asked about Lin Xia's needs. When he learned that Lin Xia was planning to raise cattle and sheep, he immediately became even happier and pulled Lin Xia towards the ranch.

"We have two main categories of animals on our ranch: cattle and sheep. Which one do you want to raise?" Mu Qi asked Lin Xia enthusiastically. "Of course, I can introduce them to you and then you can decide!"

Before Lin Xia could answer, Mu Qi had already begun his introduction in a torrent of words. His enthusiasm made Lin Xia wonder if no one had come to buy cattle and sheep from him for a long time before she came!

"We have four kinds of cows here. Common dairy cows are worth 4G each. When they reach adulthood, they can produce milk every day. The milk can be shipped directly, used as food, or processed into cheese and butter for sale through a processing machine. The price is correspondingly higher.

In addition, our ranch has recently introduced three new types of dairy cows, namely coffee cows, strawberry cows and fruit cows, each weighing 3 grams. "

Lin Xia looked in the direction Mu Qi said, and sure enough, among the majority of ordinary cows, there were several brightly colored cows. Ordinary cows had black and white spots on their bodies, while coffee cows had brown and white spots on their bodies, strawberry cows had red and white spots on their bodies, and fruit cows had orange and white spots on their bodies. They were very easy to distinguish.

"They produce coffee milk, strawberry milk and fruit-flavored milk! Isn't it amazing? You don't have to process it with extra milk."

Muchi stroked his goatee proudly and said, "This kind of milk with different flavors has a higher shipping price than ordinary milk. However, these three kinds of special milk can only be shipped directly, or drunk directly or given as gifts. They cannot be used for cooking or processed into cheese and butter."

After listening to this, Lin Xia fell into deep thought. Although the milk produced by the last three types of cows is quite special, it can only be drunk directly or sold. The cost performance is far inferior to that of ordinary milk, and there is no development potential. In the future, it can be used as a supplement and raised for fun, but it is definitely not suitable for me now.

"Grandpa Mu Qi, please introduce some sheep to me!" Lin Xia pulled Mu Qi and asked.

"Okay, come over here, the sheep are here!" Mu Qi took Lin Xia to the other side of the sheepfold and pointed inside, saying, "In addition to sheep here, I have also recently introduced alpacas, which are even cuter than sheep!"

Lin Xia looked up and saw, sure enough, several alpacas that were much taller than the sheep were mixed among the lambs. They looked very comfortable and relaxed, and their silly faces made people smile and want to stroke their heads.
