Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Lin Xia did not waste any of the last few days of spring.

After taking back the upgraded hammer, he handed over the kettle seamlessly.

Saibala: ... This is a pace that doesn’t allow us to rest for a single day!

Lin Xia puffed out her chest and said: I paid for it.

After the chicken and rabbit coop was expanded, Lin Xia received two more emails. One was a completion notice from carpenter Gotz, saying that the chicken and rabbit coop had been expanded and more small animals could be raised.

The other one was a product introduction of the blacksmith shop. Yes, it was sent by the old man who was a bit passive just now:

I heard that your family has already built chicken and rabbit cages, but there is no "mayonnaise processing machine" or "yarn ball processing machine", so I recommend you to add these. - Saibala Blacksmith Shop

Lin Xia seriously suspected that this was a notification package purchased by the blacksmith shop, which was automatically sent out at a fixed time based on the business conditions of each shop. Sabala was not aware of it, otherwise he would not have been a little reluctant just now.

Mayonnaise Processing Machine: Can process eggs into mayonnaise and sell them at a higher price; Yarn Ball Processing Machine (Chicken Coop): Can process rabbit hair into yarn balls and sell them at a higher price.

Lin Xia went to find Goetz again and asked him to continue expanding the animal house. This time, Lin Xia saved up enough wood and stone by herself, so she didn't need to spend any extra money. Last time, she spent more than 2 yuan on wood and stone, which made Lin Xia feel bad. So she decided to save up by herself.

As for the processing machine, we have to wait and see. It’s not that Lin Xia is short of money, but that Sabala is currently tied up with Lin Xia’s farm tools and has no time to make the processing machine.

Once the kettle is upgraded to Mithril, the watering range can be expanded to 3 rows * 5 columns (3 front * 5 horizontal) = 15 grids in front. Lin Xia can help water more fields faster, and wonder if he can expand the planting area in the summer.

I looked at the calendar and found that the 1st of summer was the Sea Entrance Festival, so all the shops in the town were closed. And even if it wasn't the Sea Entrance Festival, it was Tuesday, so the grocery store was closed. In short, I couldn't buy summer crop seeds on the 1st, so I could only plant the crop seeds purchased from Huo An.

Among the seeds that Lin Xia bought from Huo An, those that can be planted in summer include pineapples, peanuts and rice.

When it comes to rice, it's a bit of a pitfall. Lin Xia wants to curse! When buying rice, Huo An didn't say a word. When Lin Xia recently studied the planting method of summer crop seeds, he found that rice could not be planted for the time being.

Why? There are two reasons: First, rice, including the wheat that Lin Xia did not buy, needs to be planted on land of level 2 or above; second, the land for rice planting needs to be transformed into rice-specific planting land, which means that water needs to be stored in the rice fields!!!

Lin Xia’s current land quality is definitely level 1 land, with only a small probability of producing level 2 crops, but that cannot change the fact that these lands are all level 1. Lin Xia also consulted about the issue of land upgrades, which is Gotz’s job. Gotz meant that there are two ways to upgrade the land to level 2: the first conventional way is to plant the original level 1 land for a full year, and in the second year you can pay Gotz to upgrade the land, and so on, in the third year it will be upgraded to level 3, and in the fourth year it will be upgraded to level 4... During this period, the fields must be planted normally and cannot be abandoned. If they are abandoned, they will be downgraded year by year.

The second way is to diversify the ranch operations and raise various animals in a healthy manner. When the types and number of animals reach a certain amount, you can ask Gotz to build a scientific planting system for the entire ranch, so that the animal feces, processed waste (eggshells, fur, internal organs, bones, etc.), and crop processing waste (rotten vegetable leaves, crop oil residue, etc.) can all be reused and made into organic fertilizer, which goes directly into the fields to provide nutrients and nourish the fields, which can accelerate the natural upgrading of the fields. This circulation system is combined with various processing machines, that is, the waste processed by the processing machine will directly enter the circulation system, be transformed into organic fertilizer, and then circulate to each field. It does not require manual labor and can be said to be quite intelligent.

In fact, asking Gotz to upgrade the fields is the same principle, except that the nutrients needed for the fields are provided and filled by Gotz. And it is obvious that Lin Xia's ranch does not meet the conditions for upgrading the land now, neither of them can be achieved.

Lin Xia can only plant crops that do not require much land. The only crops that can be planted in Huo An are pineapples and peanuts.

However, considering the harvest period of pineapples, if you plant them on the 1st and water them every day, the first harvest will be on the 21st, the second harvest will be on the 26th, and the third... then there will be no more, so you can just cut the pineapple plants and wait until autumn.

Lin Xia planned the area of ​​the field to be planted in the summer. There are a total of 112 acres of fields, 16 acres of which are planted with forage grass. Of the remaining 96 acres, only 61 acres are planted. The dwarfs can't keep up with the watering, and Lin Xia needs manual assistance. Thinking of the temperature in summer, Lin Xia was a little scared, so he decided to plant only 70 acres in summer. The dwarfs should still be the main person for watering, and he can only be a supplement at most. Although making money is important, life is not just about making money. There are still many other meaningful things to do.

Lin Xia, who absolutely refused to admit that she was being lazy, decided to plant 35 acres of pineapples, so that she only needed to harvest twice a season, and pineapples were sold at a high price.

5 acres are used to plant peanuts, and the remaining 30 acres are reserved for other summer crops. According to the types of crops provided by the grocery store in spring, there should be 3 types, so 10 acres of each crop will be enough.

Lin Xia simply and roughly decided on the summer planting plan. Then she happily continued to stock up on spring food. For two consecutive days, because Lin Xia stored all the harvested products in her refrigerator and did not ship a single product, she was scolded by the consignee Zach, who thought she was not working hard. What would she do in the future?

Lin Xia had no choice but to make sure to give something to Zack every day.

On Saturday, Lin Xia bought her second piece of kitchenware, a kitchen knife, through TV shopping, and her kitchen finally became much more furnished.

Lin Xia has received several recipes from the villagers, but she is currently unable to make them. Some of them are due to insufficient kitchen utensils, and some are due to insufficient materials. Currently, Lin Xia only has a stew pot and seasoning combination set to use, and the kitchen knife is still on the way. It can be said that if you want to make a carrot soup casually, you still need a knife to chop the carrots.

However, this did not pose a problem for Lin Xia, who wanted to use the kitchen. She simply put an egg into the pot and boiled it in water - boiled eggs are also a dish!

Haha! In addition to boiled eggs, Lin Xia also boiled sugar-coated eggs. Although they were not as authentic as those made with brown sugar, at least Lin Xia could taste the taste of the past.

After making two successful (= edible, = not bad) dishes, the kitchen will have the function of collecting recipes. Next time, you can directly select the recipe. The kitchen will tell you what kitchen utensils and materials are needed. Just prepare the ingredients according to the recipe.

Lin Xia is quite satisfied with this kitchen, and is increasingly curious about how smart a higher-level smart kitchen will be. Lin Xia is looking forward to it!
