Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After saying goodbye to Sabala and walking out of the door, I just took a few steps forward when a hen ran out from the pasture on the right. I heard a panicked cry, "Coco, don't run!" Could Coco be this chicken?

Lin Xia quickly ran forward and caught the hen. As soon as she turned around, a pink-dressed girl ran out of the chicken farm. She was very cute and had a gentle voice. When she saw that I had helped catch the chicken, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for helping me catch Coco. It sneaked out while I opened the fence to feed it. It's so naughty!"

Lin Xia handed the hen back to her. After she took the hen, she said happily, "My name is Bobli. I don't think I've ever seen you before. Who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Lin Xia, the new owner of Below Zero Ranch!" Just after saying the name of the ranch, Lin Xia couldn't help but frown. What a terrible name!

"Ah~ You are the new owner of the ranch. You are different from what I imagined!" Pobly said happily, "Do you like chickens?"

"I like it!" Lin Xia replied immediately, thinking to herself, chicken is so delicious!

"I just thought you would like it. Chickens are so cute!" Pobly completely misunderstood that this was not the right thing to like, and continued, "My family has a lot of chickens. You can come to my house if you need them! Mom is at home, and my brother is feeding the chickens! Our whole family likes chickens!"

"Okay!" Lin Xia said as she walked into the chicken farm. On the right was a chicken pen surrounded by a long fence, with chickens of all sizes inside. The hens were leisurely strolling and looking for food with their chicks. On the left was the business house, with the same sign in front of the door: Clucking House - 11am to 4pm, closed on Sundays.

Right in front of the hut is a smaller chicken pen with some roosters and hens in it, which looks like a blind date. In front of it is a chicken coop, which is very large and should be the place where the chickens rest at night. To the left of the chicken coop is the feed warehouse and feed processing room. There is a boy with short blond hair, who is taking care of the feed room.

Walking into the Giggle House, there is a counter on the right hand side of the door. Behind the counter sits a gentle lady with pink hair. The little beauty Pobley just mentioned is exactly the same as this lady. On the left hand side is a staircase leading to the second floor. In front of it is the restaurant. The room is decorated very warmly.

Lin Xia came to the counter and greeted the beautiful aunt: "Hello! I am the new owner of the ranch next door, my name is Lin Xia." Lin Xia still used "next door" instead of the name of the ranch.

The beautiful aunt smiled before she spoke, and said in a soft and slightly weak voice: "Hello, my name is Lilya. I've heard of you. Your ranch is called Below Zero, which is very interesting and fits your name very well!"

Lin Xia...

Perhaps seeing that Lin Xia was unhappy, Lilia finally stopped teasing her and said, "It's not easy to take care of a new ranch, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I want to know some information about chickens. We will definitely raise them on the ranch in the future." Lin Xia said.

"Okay, here is the catalog." Lilia said as she handed a price list to Lin Xia.

Commodity price

Chicken feed: 10

Buy chicken: 1500

Buy rabbit: 2000

Animal medicine: 1000

Rabbit breeding device: 1000

Huh? Huh? Lin Xia was shocked! What the hell is a rabbit? Isn't this a chicken farm? How can there be rabbits?

Lin Xia asked in confusion, and Lilia explained softly: "Rabbits are a new breed we added this year. They were introduced by the traveling merchant Huo An and shipped from a flower grower. This kind of rabbit is easy to raise. The feed is the same as chicken feed. The rabbit hair can be cut every 5 days. It can be shipped directly or processed into wool yarn through a wool yarn processor. Different qualities of wool and wool yarn have different selling prices. The quality depends on how well you take care of them!"

As Lilia spoke further, her breath became increasingly weak.

Lin Xia asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Lilia took a sip of water and said softly, "It's an old illness. It's just that my body is weaker than that of an ordinary person! It's okay!"

After saying goodbye to Lilia and Pobley, Lin Xia continued to run forward. It took some time to help Pobley catch chickens. It was already 1:10 in the afternoon. Finally, she arrived at Pastoral Farm. After entering, there was a cow and sheep house on the left. It was very large. I guess there were a lot of cows and sheep in it! On the right was the business place. There was a sign in front of the door, which read: Pastoral Farm - Open from 3 am to pm, closed on Mondays.

After entering the door, there is a counter on the left, and behind the counter sits an old man with a snow-white goatee, long eyebrows, and a kind face. On the right is a staircase leading to the second floor, and in front is the restaurant, which is decorated very warmly. Lin Xia walked up and said, "Hello, I'm Lin Xia!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man immediately laughed and said, "Ah~ You are the new owner of the ranch, right? Thomas told me that there is an amazing new owner, a little girl! Haha." Lin Xia felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and she didn't know what the mayor meant by "amazing"

"I'm Mu Qi, the owner of Pastoral Ranch." Mu Qi said with a smile, pointing to the left, "This is my granddaughter, Mei." Lin Xia turned around and saw a little girl in a red skirt and two pigtails cleaning the kitchen. Lin Xia immediately greeted her, "Hello, Mei, my name is Lin Xia! Nice to meet you!" Mei said shyly, "Hello, Sister Lin Xia!"

"Is there anything you need?" Mu Qi asked.

Lin Xia said embarrassedly: "I just want to come and get to know you today, and by the way, find out the price of cattle and sheep. Is it okay?"

Mu Qi said with a smile: "What's wrong with that? Just take a look!" Then he handed me a price list.

Commodity price

Feed: 20

Cow: 5000

Sheep: 4000

Cattle breed: 3000

Sheep breed: 3000

Animal medicine: 1000

Bell installation: 500

Lin Xia looked at the price list in her hand and couldn't hold back tears. How long will it take for cattle and sheep to be free? However, the bell is understandable, but does the bell need to be installed? Lin Xia asked a question, and Mu Qi said with a smile: "This bell is installed in the animal house. Every morning, if you want to graze, just ring the bell and the animal will automatically go out. At 8 o'clock in the evening, it will automatically return to the house. It is very convenient. It is worth buying!" After saying that, he winked at Lin Xia mischievously!

Lin Xia couldn't help but be amazed again. The bells in her memory were handheld. When the bells were shaken, the cattle and sheep would gather in the direction of the bells. They were also time-sensitive. After a few seconds, the cattle and sheep would scatter. Only when the bells were shaken again would the cattle and sheep gather again. Moreover, when they arrived at the door of the animal house, the protagonist had to push the cattle and sheep in or out of the door. Therefore, it was very inconvenient to graze cattle and sheep. Every time I graze them in the house, it was okay because time did not flow and I would not waste time. But when I collected the cattle and sheep outside the house, I would waste a lot of time every time. I still remember my mother scolding me while playing... . . . . .
