Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"Wow~" Lin Xia was surprised, "That's amazing!"

However, Lin Xia can no longer dream about it now, and he doesn't even plan to buy the cheapest fishing net. After all, he doesn't make a living by fishing. If he wants to eat fish, a fishing rod will satisfy him. Besides, fishing leisurely is so much fun!

But when I become financially independent in the future, I can consider buying it and keeping it there to experience fishing!

"Besides fishing nets, hanging nets and ordinary nets, do you have any other uses for nets?" Lin Xia asked curiously.

Huo An immediately became proud: "Of course there are! For example, nets for catching birds; nets suitable for various waters; and many nets for catching small animals!

The most advanced hunting set I showed you last time basically includes all the tools you can use for hunting, as well as tools for handling prey, gathering tools, and tools for making various traps. It has everything you need! Unfortunately, you don’t have money. Forget it. There’s no point in saying so much. Come back when you have money!”

Why are you attacking me again? What the hell!

"Well, Brother Huo, when are we going to have dinner? Do you want my help?"

Huo An glanced at Lin Xia who tried to change the subject: "Of course I have to help. It will take me a long time to clean up such a large group of fish, shrimps and crabs by myself. But I don't think you can help much. Let's wait until Zack comes back!"

Lin Xia didn't know whether she should be happy or aggrieved. Although she could feel more relaxed without having to help, being looked down upon by others was not something to be happy about.

Huo An looked at the expression on Lin Xia's face and said something soft, "You should take a rest. It's not easy to catch so many fish and shrimps. You are a little girl, so sometimes you don't have to be so tense."

After hearing this, Lin Xia felt a sudden pang in her heart and walked to the side to sit down and rest.

Yes, I came here suddenly. Although I don’t have to worry about food and drink, I am still alone.

Although my parents passed away due to illness a few years ago, and that world has become particularly difficult to survive in now, it is still the place where I grew up and lived for 20 years, and there are my classmates and relatives there~

Don’t think about it anymore. You have to look forward. My parents said that only by living each day earnestly will you not waste your days.

Zack didn't come back until 5:30. When he learned that Lin Xia had brought a lot of food and was going to eat here, he happily followed Huo An to the kitchen to help prepare the food.

Lin Xia was assigned to wash some vegetables and prepare some spices. Ben Laihuoan wanted to arrange for Lin Xia to cut onions, but was seriously rejected.

Are you kidding me? After cutting onions, can you still see? I won’t do that.

"Anyway, you're wearing glasses, and onions exist for you. Don't hesitate, just go for it!" Huo An was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but there was nothing he could do, so he continued to work.

In the evening, there was a table full of seafood, and Lin Xia was very happy to see it.

There are boiled fish, steamed fish, sashimi, spicy crab, steamed crab, steamed lobster with garlic, typhoon shelter lobster, seafood porridge, and two vegetables.

Lin Xia and the other two were eating happily. Zack even took out the wine he bought at Dick's house and poured grape juice for Lin Xia.

Finally, Lin Xia took out her kimchi. Kimchi is a must-have snack for drinking!

The three of them ate, drank, talked and chatted, having a great time.

"By the way, Lin Xia, I asked about the things you asked me to do before." Zach said to Lin Xia, "As for those spices, I found a person who supplies food to the big restaurant across the city. He said that when he delivers spices to the restaurant next month, he can bring some to you. Just make a list of what you want and I will ask him to prepare it accordingly!"

"Really?" Lin Xia was pleasantly surprised. "I just need some common spices and seasonings for home use. Actually, I don't know much. Can I ask him to help me prepare some? Anyway, the common spices used for cooking at home will do. I won't use the expensive spices that are rarely used and only used by chefs. I won't be able to use them even if he gives them to me!"

"Okay, I'll talk to him when the time comes and let him decide how to match it!" Zack replied.

"Let me pay you first!"

"No, wait until he delivers it and then settle the bill. I don't know how much money is appropriate right now, so I'll pay for it for you when the time comes!"

"Thank you so much, Zack, you are such a good person!" Lin Xia thanked with tears in her eyes!

"Don't say that, we are all friends! Haha..." Zack scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly!

"That's right~ He is a good man, and I am a profiteer~" an unconvinced voice sounded beside him.

Lin Xia and Zach thought at the same time: You are quite self-aware~

"Brother Huo, how can you say that? You are also a good person, and a good person with superb cooking skills! Without you, how could we eat such delicious food! Don't underestimate yourself!" It is one thing to think in your heart, but you absolutely cannot say it out loud!

"Hmph~ I won't bother with you!" Huo An said proudly, "The rain gear I promised to bring you, and the oil-paper umbrellas the villagers asked for, will arrive next week!"

"Wow~ Good things are happening all the time today!" Lin Xia was surprised. How come everything she wanted suddenly came to her? "Brother Huo, you are really awesome!"

"Of course I am a great businessman. As long as you have money, I have goods!" Huo An was very proud. Maybe he drank too much, but he actually spoke the truth.

Lin Xia and Zack didn't bother with him, and he still refused to admit that he was a profiteer.

"Brother Huo, why did it take so long for these things to arrive? Didn't you say you would ask your nephew to buy them? Your nephew is a little slow!"

"What do you know? My nephew is amazing!" Huo An glared at Lin Xia. "My nephew was too busy recently and didn't have time. As soon as he got some time off, he immediately started helping me prepare the goods. It's just that the distance is a bit far, so it will arrive next week."

"So you can see your nephew next week?"

"What are you thinking about? My nephew is too busy to come! He sent the goods over!"

Lin Xia: ... No, why are you so proud of him not coming? I really don’t understand!

The three of them ate until 3 o'clock in the evening. Lin Xia left Zach's house and came to the beach. It was very comfortable to feel the sea breeze at the beach in summer.

I strolled leisurely along the coast, feeling very happy.

Although I have only been in Mineral Town for over a month, I have made new friends and everyone cares about me. It is a long-lost warm feeling!

Tomorrow is a new day, come on, Lin Xia!
