Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

The pheasant with its feathers cut to pieces is now staring at Lin Xia to see what she can dig out this time.

Lin Xia took out a portion of chicken feed, poured it on the open space in front of him, and then slowly backed away. The chicken walked towards the feed. As the distance got shorter, he smelled the fragrance of the feed, and his little eyes suddenly lit up.

There is hope! It seems that even though Brother Chicken is brave, he cannot escape the fact that he is a chicken!

Watching the chicken stop and try to eat a bite of feed, it shook its body with satisfaction. Unfortunately, it forgot that it was naked and had no beautiful feathers. It immediately froze for a moment, then stared at Lin Xia again.

Miraculously, Lin Xia understood the look in the chicken's eyes at this moment - one portion of feed was not enough to make up for its loss, so Lin Xia poured two more portions of feed forward. No more, Lin Xia thought stingily.

Fortunately, Brother Chicken was content and began to enjoy the food with a light snort.

Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the crisis was over. After a soft "bow", she immediately escaped.

Brother Chicken snorted again with contempt and ignored it.

Lin Xia finally walked out of the dense forest after many twists and turns. This time, she was really exhausted. Passing the lake again, she gave the kappa another portion of sweet and sour cucumber. Lin Xia gave away a lot of radishes yesterday, so she gave a few cucumbers and gave the rest to the kappa.

After leaving the lake, I hurried to the spring mine, gave the goddess a bouquet of flowers, and then went into the hot spring to recover my strength. Today was really a bit exciting, very exciting.

Fortunately, Brother Ji did not fight to the death in the end, otherwise Lin Xia would definitely have a few more holes or scratches on her body.

However, Lin Xia was very happy to know that pheasants also like chicken feed, and she will no longer be afraid of pheasants.

After her strength was almost recovered, Lin Xia got up and went home. After changing her clothes and having a late lunch, she prepared to go to the beach to collect herbs. Now only the herbs collected at the beach were purple. Dortmund had said before that when the shipment quantity of each herb reached a certain amount, the hospital would launch a more effective recovery potion.

So Lin Xia is now focusing on shipping herbs. When she passed by the Giggle Cottage again and walked towards the beach, she saw a person walking quickly not far ahead. She hurried over to take a closer look and found that it was -

"Hi~ Rick, where are you going in such a hurry?" Lin Xia greeted him.

"Publi is missing, I'm looking for her!" Rick said, gritting his teeth and suppressing his anger.

Hmm? Lin Xia was puzzled. Shouldn't he be worried when his sister disappeared? Why was he only angry and not worried?

Seeing Rick running towards the beach without stopping and with a clear goal in mind, Lin Xia suddenly realized: It seems that he knows where Pobley is. Hey, there is something interesting to watch!

Sure enough, when the two walked into the beach, they saw a man and a woman standing opposite each other in front of the Sea House - the little princess Pobley and the handsome man with a headscarf, Kai. The two were happily chatting about something, while Rick beside them was already extremely angry. He just heard -

"Pobley, I finally found you!!!"

The two people at the door were startled.

Rick: "What are you doing here? Kai, could you please not take my sister out of the house without my permission?"

Popley: "Brother, what are you doing? I'm just talking to Kai, you don't need to yell so loudly."

Rick: "Anyway, there's still stuff to help with at the store, so come back soon."

Pobley: "Humph! Can't brother just do the work in the store alone?"

Lin Xia: Tsk tsk, girls are so outgoing! Rick must be going crazy! As expected——

Rick: "What? Bobri!! How can you talk like that! Kai~ It must be you who did this? Don't instill weird ideas into my sister!"

Lin Xia: This sister complex is simply too much...

Pobley: "Don't say bad things about Kai! He obviously knows nothing. Brother, you are going too far!"

Rick is sad: “Publi…”

Kai: "Publi, it's about time to go back. Auntie is worried about you, right?"

Popley: "Well...but...uh...since Kai said so, I listened."

Lin Xia...

Rick: "Then let's go back, Kai, and don't bother Bobri anymore!"

Popley glared at her brother, then said to Kai: "Kai, I'm sorry. Goodbye...Oh!"

Kai: "Well, be careful on the road."

After saying that, the two siblings left. Of course, Bobri walked in front angrily, and Rick followed nervously behind.

After watching the two siblings leave, Kai saw Lin Xia and greeted her with a smile: "Hi, Lin Xia, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"

Lin Xia stepped forward: "What's going on?"

Kai: "It's like this, Rick misunderstood. Last time, Bobri told me that her mother had a poor appetite and no energy in the summer due to health reasons. I happen to be good at making some summer dishes, so I thought about going over to cook some dishes for her aunt to see if she would feel better. So this morning, when Rick was not at home, I went over to try it, and I didn't expect that my aunt would really feel better. So Bobri was thanking me just now, not what Rick thought."

Kai looked helpless, so Lin Xia could only express sympathy. Since they had met, she decided to give him a gift, so she gave him the wheat flour that she had just put into her backpack. Kai smiled and said, "Thank you, I love wheat flour! Lin Xia, come into my shop and have a seat, and try my cooking skills!"

"Okay!" Lin Xia happily followed Kai into Hai's house.

Lin Xia looked around when she entered Haizhijia for the first time. In the not very big store, there were 4 tables neatly arranged. Behind the counter was the kitchen, which was open. The whole store was decorated very lively, full of summer style.

I looked at the menu of Xiahaizhijia as follows:

Water 0G

Roasted Corn 250G

Spaghetti 200G

Pizza 200G

Shaved ice 300G

Water was provided free of charge, and the rest were summer snacks. Lin Xia had just eaten at home and was not very hungry, so she ordered a roasted corn and a bowl of shaved ice.

Don't say it, it's quite comfortable to eat roasted corn and shaved ice in a comfortable house! However, the food here is the same as Dart's, and takeout is not allowed. Otherwise, Lin Xia would like to pack a few shaved ice in her backpack, so that she can enjoy it anytime when she is hot and tired from work!

The business in the store was not very good. At least from the time Lin Xia came in until he finished eating, not many people came in. Lin Xia wondered if it was as Kai had said before, that the townspeople had objections to him not living with his parents, so he was affected!

But Kai's cooking skills were really good, Lin Xia praised him highly, Kai was so happy to hear that! After eating, Lin Xia wanted to pay, but Kai refused to let her: "Not to mention today, you brought me a gift, even if it was your first time to come to my store, I couldn't take your money! Don't worry, we will do it in the future, but today, just treat it as a gift exchange between friends!"

Lin Xia nodded in agreement! Thinking that Kai only came to the town in the summer every year, she would give gifts to the villagers from time to time. Now that she had officially become friends with Kai, it was normal for friends to exchange gifts!
