Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After leaving the lumberjack's house, Lin Xia did not go anywhere else. He returned home, sat by the fireplace, listened to TV programs, and continued to open clams to get pearls.

Last time at the night market in Pelican Town, after the mermaid performance, you had to answer questions correctly to get a pearl. Although the pearl was indeed very big, round and beautiful, it was a pity that there was only one!

How can you get a box of fragrant clams from a pile of clams?

Among them, those with good colors and round shapes can be picked out to make jewelry, and those with ugly shapes and poor glossiness can be ground into powder and used as facial masks!

Outside the window is a cold white world, but she is spending time in a house as warm as spring. The kitchen is filled with the aroma of delicious food. It couldn't be more comfortable!

On the 25th, Lin Xia took the Christmas gifts she had chosen and used the mailbox function to send gifts to every resident in the town, her three good sisters who lived across the sea, and several people who she had spent a long time with in Pelican Town and could be considered friends (Lewis, Clint, Robin, Willy, Emily, and others with whom she had done business).

But for the people of Pelican Town who suffer from time difference, they don’t know when they will receive the gift!

She delivered the gifts from the 7 dwarfs directly to their door and even played dwarf games with them.

Of course, Lin Xia also received gifts from many people in her mailbox, especially from three good friends, who sent her a lot of delicious food and new clothes for the New Year.

After that, Lin Xia stopped visiting other villagers as she didn’t want to disturb other people’s family happiness!

But she went straight to the secret park in the center of the town, set up her tent by the river, wore warm and cute Christmas clothes, and placed the lazy sofa at home directly on the river bank. There was a small table next to her with a small stove on it, on which was bubbling milk tea. It was made from the specialty tea of ​​Mineral Town, and tasted pretty good.

Then she started a day of fishing. This time she used insect bait. Yes, it was the insect bait box she brought back from Pelican Town that could automatically produce 2-5 portions of insect bait every day. It really did speed up the speed of the fish taking the bait, but the frequency of the garbage taking the bait also increased a lot. However, now Lin Xia is no longer irritable when she sees the garbage, because she has a recycling machine that turns waste into treasure, and she can be full of surprises every day, because you never know what useful things will come out next time you put in this garbage, haha!

After a day of fishing, Lin Xia caught a lot of fish for himself. By accumulating energy and adjusting, Lin Xia chose to catch more small and medium-sized fish. Small fish are convenient for making fish soup, and they are delicious when cooked with small fish or fried.

Medium-sized fish have a wider range of uses. Sashimi, fish cakes, grilled fish, miso, etc. all use medium-sized fish. In comparison, large fish are less used and due to their larger size, one fish is usually enough to make several servings, which is very practical. Lin Xia usually uses large fish to make fish balls, and fish bones can be used as feed or fertilizer for farmland.

In the evening, Lin Xia brought home an abundance of freshwater fish from the pond. She worked like a tiger and cooked all the fish. She also pickled a few of them to make salted fish, which she could steam later. It was also very delicious to taste occasionally.

This Christmas Eve, Lin Xia prepared rich meals for several pets and animals at home. Ah Huang stayed overnight with Lin Xia in the house. As for Da Zhuang, he was spared because he had a beautiful woman by his side and was very happy!

That night, Lin Xia seemed to hear some noises and unclear mutterings, but she was asleep and ignored them. Besides, Ah Huang was in the room and did not give any warning.

After daybreak, she got up, said hello to Ah Huang, and let it go out to play. On the way to the bathroom, she noticed that the Christmas stockings hanging on the wall were bulging. She thought to herself: Could it be that the noise last night was made by the so-called "Santa Claus" coming to deliver gifts?

I wonder what gift the Santa Claus here will give her?

Excitedly opening the socks, she saw a gift box produced by Jeff's Grocery Store. Lin Xia had a bad feeling in her heart, so she tore open the wrapping paper and opened it - a piece of desert rose stone.

Lin Xia: ……

This is a kind of ore that appears in large quantities in all layers of the lake mine that end with 9. It has a very pink appearance. Due to its astonishing quantity, it is simply worthless. The shipping price in the ore town is 60G per piece, and it is fair to everyone.

Hey ~

At least she should give him a pink diamond, which is worth 10,000 G each. She saved his face!

That’s right, Lin Xia has already guessed who sent this so-called Christmas gift; it was the mayor and his son.

After all, it’s my first Christmas present since I came to Mineral Town, so keep it!

In the next few days, Lin Xia's daily routine was to give gifts to the goddess and then go down to the mine to brush sages. She and Ah Huang were becoming more and more skilled, and their speed was getting faster and faster. They could usually brush all the mine layers where the Philosopher's Stone was located before 10 am.

She was no longer in a hurry and was quite calm. As a result, she got 30 more pieces before the 6th. Together with the previous 2 pieces, she had a total of 8 pieces. Upgrading her farm tools required a total of 6 pieces, and the bow and arrow could be upgraded to mithril. She had 1 piece left, which she did not plan to sell, and she would keep it for a rainy day!

As a result, just as she had this plan, she saw the task posted by Cebala on the bulletin board in the square: Looking for a Philosopher's Stone. If anyone can provide one within 2 days, Cebala is willing to pay 3 in cash!

Wow, it’s 1 higher than the market price of the Philosopher’s Stone!

However, due to its rarity, the Philosopher's Stone has always been in a state of being out of stock and priced out of stock.

Could it be that Saibala knew that he had knocked too many coins, so he issued the task? Otherwise, the timing was too good.

After thinking about it, she decided to give it to Sabala. It was not because of the extra ten thousand yuan, but entirely for their friendship (see her innocent eyes)!

On Wednesday, the 26th, she still went to the second floor of the Darts' hotel to find Ben to reconnect with him. Although she had so little savings, she could not afford any of Ben's secret products (such as the riddle book and all the background music); and she could not afford the ones she liked, such as the 1.5 million shopping master certificate. After possessing it, she could buy goods at any store at any time by looking in the mirror, any time! She could ignore holidays and closed hours.

Ban was very unhappy to see Lin Xia looking down on his secret product, and immediately pulled her over to start explaining the advantages of various products.
