Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After returning home and having lunch, Lin Xia went to see the two pregnant mothers at home. That’s right, after Yang Miemie became a pregnant mother, Rabbit Baby also became pregnant successfully!

Currently, Yang Miemie has been pregnant for 8 days, and Rabbit has been successfully conceived for just 2 days, and today is the second day.

Sheep need to be pregnant for 21 days before giving birth, and the birth period of sheep is the 20th; the gestation period of rabbits is 5 days, the same as the shearing period, so the birth period of rabbits is the 10th. Now Lin Xia feeds them in the feeding trough specially designed for pregnant women, and other animals are arranged to go out for food through the bell outside the door.

There are now 3 adult chickens, with the upper limit of favorability of 5 stars 1 + 6 stars 2; there is 1 chick, with the upper limit of favorability of 7 stars. It takes 7 days for a chick to grow up, and there are still 7 days before a 3-star chick grows up. The 10th will grow up, and on the same day, the baby rabbit will also give birth. Lin Xia will also hatch eggs again, so that the chicken and rabbit house will have 4 chickens + hatching eggs + 2 rabbits, occupying 7 breeding positions. The remaining position will be used to breed a new rabbit or chicken, depending on which one grows up first.

After the chicken and rabbit hut is full, if you want to breed new animals (with a higher upper limit of favorability), you can only choose to sell them or~ well, eat meat! However, you still have to wait for meat, after all, the meat processing machine has not been found yet, and Lin Xia does not have the skills to butcher a cow!

Now Lin Xia can pick up 3 eggs every day, one of which is an M-shaped egg, which can be sold for 1G each; the remaining two are S-shaped, which are only sold for 80G each, so now Lin Xia keeps the S-shaped eggs in the refrigerator and sells the M-shaped eggs. For cooking, the S-shaped ones are enough for now, why bother with a bicycle!

However, the two Cluckers that laid S-shaped eggs will probably be able to lay M-shaped eggs in a few days, because these chicks are hatched by the ranch itself, and they have a 2-star favorability when they are born, and it will be very fast to upgrade to 3 stars!

Since the baby rabbit and the sheep are both pregnant and cannot be sheared, there is no output; and the cow Moo Moo can only produce S-shaped milk now, which is sold at 100G/bottle, so Lin Xia drank it directly under the guise of replenishing her nutrition during the days when she was not short of money. Now, it's time to send out the boxes!

Lin Xia counted her assets contentedly. Although her cash was as pitiful as when she first came to the ranch, that was because her family had bought a lot of things and supplies. Lin Xia still felt very wealthy.

Lin Xia cleaned up her backpack and put out the things that could be shipped. She also took some social items from home, such as wheat flour, minerals, and flowers. Oh, by the way, she also brought a piece of cake that she got from Anna's house yesterday.

Today is Cliff's birthday. I will send it to Cliff after I finish my work. I should have gone to the grocery store to pack it, but today is Sunday and the grocery store is closed.

After getting ready, Lin Xia was about to go out. When she reached the ranch gate, she saw another letter in the mailbox. She opened it and read:

To the winners!

Congratulations!

After our rigorous lottery, you won the prize.

So please take this.

Another bottle of "Ban's favorite thing" fell into Lin Xia's hands, and the scene was exactly the same as last time!

It was really strange. What was the basis for selecting the winner? Lin Xia carefully recalled what she had done when she received the prize twice. She didn't do anything special. It was just her daily life!

Also, who will be the awarder of this prize?

Although she was confused, it did not affect Lin Xia's excitement!

Last time, the prize was sold to Huo An for more than 50,000 yuan. This time, Lin Xia plans to show it to the class to see what’s so special about it!

Unfortunately, today is Sunday and the shop won’t open until Wednesday!

At this moment, Lin Xia completely forgot how poor she was.

Arriving at the beach, Lin Xia wanted to find Gray to give him some additional explanation and send him off at the same time!

As a result, there was no one and no boat on the beach. I looked at the time and it was only 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so it should not be time yet.

At this time, Lin Xia discovered that the door of Hai's house was open. Hey~ Isn't Kai taking a rest today?

After entering with doubts, I found that

"Gray~Why are you here?" Lin Xia asked.

The two were seen standing in Kai's open kitchen, happily eating a dish and talking about something.

Kai & Gray: "Hi~Lin Xia!"

Gray: "Oh~ You're asking this? A few days ago, Kai asked me to come to his restaurant for a meal!"

Kai said sheepishly, "Yes, I want to know more about the eating habits of this town. Gray is the only one who knows the town well, is easy to talk to, and has some friendship with me. So I want to ask him some advice and ask him to try the new dishes in the restaurant."

Gray smiled and said, "Kai, this guy is worthy of being the owner of a restaurant. The dishes he cooks are quite delicious."

Kai was happy: "Thank you. When I heard you say that, I knew this dish was not made in vain."

Lin Xia: "Well, Kai, you don't have to be so modest. I also ate the food you cooked yesterday, it was really good!"

Gray: “Yeah, yeah!”

Lin Xia: "By the way, Gray, I came here to look for you! In addition to what I told you yesterday, I remembered some other things today that I want to ask you for a favor!"

Gray was serious for a second: "What's the matter?"

He really is worthy of being the grandson that Sabara favors. He takes his work very seriously!

Kai: "You two can find a table and sit down to chat! I'll pour you some water. Do you want anything to eat?"

Gray & Lin Xia: "Thank you, no need to bother!"

Then, the two found a table, sat down and started communicating.

Lin Xia told Gray and asked him to help find out if there were any feed processing machines that could cater to the preferences of various animals.

Gray was puzzled: "As far as I know, for raising cattle and sheep, we only need to provide fodder, and for raising chickens and rabbits, waterwheels and mills can also meet the needs. Is there any other feed that needs to be processed?"

Lin Xia: "Yes, I think we may raise some other animals in the future, such as pigs, ducks, geese, etc. Pigs are omnivorous animals that can eat grass and leftovers, but they will grow better if they are fed with special feed.

As you know, my ranch grows various crops, so I wondered if the leftover scraps and other crop residues after the processing machine could be reused and processed into pig feed or other feed. This can also greatly improve the utilization rate of crops.

Also, I'm starting to learn how to hunt. When I set traps, if I can put food that animals like to eat in the traps, wouldn't it be easier to catch animals?"

Gray listened and took notes carefully. He couldn't help but agree with him: "Your idea is very good. In addition to the part of a crop that people need, the other parts can also be used in other places. This will be more environmentally friendly and avoid waste of resources. I will try my best to find out and learn!"

Lin Xia expressed her gratitude and asked, "I heard from Saibala that you will leave Mineral Town today?"

Gray: "Yes! Not only is Grandpa anxious, but I am actually very excited to go to the Twin Village and learn more about forging!"
