Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After failing to get a free meal, Lin Xia had to give up.

After going out, I turned into Hai’s house to see Kai and let him taste the tomatoes I had just harvested.

"Lin Xia, your tomatoes are growing well!"

"Yeah, I think so too. Haha~ By the way, why is there no one in your store today?"

Kai sighed: "It's not that there are not many people today, it's that there have always been few people."

Seeing Lin Xia's embarrassed look, he immediately smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry about it, this is actually the truth. Hey, I actually think the food I cook tastes pretty good..."

At this time, a clear shout was heard: "Kai~"

They both turned around and looked at the door at the same time. It turned out that it was Bobri who came.

Kai: "Ah, it's Pobley, what's wrong?"

Popley said happily: "I brought a lot of guests for you!"

Kai was surprised: "Oh, really?"

"Well, look~" Bobri said, calling out to the door, "Everyone, come in!"

Carter from the church, Mucci from the cattle and sheep ranch, and policeman Harris walked in, sat down and ordered food.

Then came the mayor Thomas, and the judge from the cooking festival - the gourmet in purple clothes.

"Look, so many people are here!" Popli said happily.

Kaiyou's original happiness suddenly turned into nervousness: "Wow, there are too many people calling. I can't handle so many people! Lin Xia, can you stay and help me?"

"No problem, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon!" Lin Xia said without hesitation.

Since there are only three tables in Haizhijia, people who know each other can only sit together at the table.

Thomas and Carter sat at one table, Harris and Mucci sat at another, and Gourmet sat at another alone.

Lin Xia and Popli both stayed to help. Lin Xia was responsible for taking orders and collecting cash, Popli was responsible for greeting customers and serving food, and Kai was responsible for cooking.

Everyone is busy.

I have to say that although there were so many guests today, Kai was still very capable. He cooked calmly and in an orderly manner. Lin Xia also assisted in serving the dishes and kept an eye on the needs of the guests at all times.

After Thomas and Muchi's tables finished eating, Lin Xia and Popley cleaned up the table and asked for their opinions on the Sea House cuisine (this was a special request from Kai when he finished making the first dish and handed it to Lin Xia and Popley!). They took careful note of it and passed it on to Chef Kai later.

At this time, Lilia also came over with her son Rick despite the hot weather. Zack from next door also came, and the three of them sat at the same table.

When Popli saw this, she immediately ran to the counter, and Lin Xia came out to greet the customers.

Lin Xia didn't know what to say. Girl, what are you afraid of? Your mother and brother came here today with a supportive attitude and will never pick a fight with you!

With this in mind, she still went forward to greet him and ask for his order.

As she expected, Rick was extremely calm today. He ordered spaghetti and grilled corn with his mother; while Zack ordered pizza and shaved ice.

Rick and Lilia turned a blind eye to Poplar's attempt to cover up her crime and satisfied their sister's (daughter's) little thoughts.

I don't know how Purbury spread the word to the residents of the town, but almost all of them came to the Sea House. After Rick and the others left, Dot and Ellie from the hospital, as well as Ellie's grandmother Elaine and brother You also came.

As far as Lin Xia knows, Dortmund has always been obsessed with medicine and basically does not participate in activities in the town. He is rarely seen. It can be said that Popley's face is quite big.

Then Jeff's family of three came, followed by Huo An, Ben, and Dart and his daughter!

Finally, there are Mary’s family of three in the library, Dick and his wife in the orchard, and Sabara. . . . .

There was a constant stream of guests at Haizhijia, and they kept changing; but the gourmet really left Lin Xia speechless, as he ate from the beginning to the end, while the people at other tables changed, but he kept eating.

Lin Xia was really impressed! He was indeed a gourmet!

Finally, after seeing off all the guests, the three of them were really exhausted.

Kai: “Huh~ I’m so tired~”

Lin Xia nodded in agreement and took out her handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face.

Kai: "Publi, thank you for introducing so many guests to me, but there are too many of them."

Bobri was unhappy: "I thought the more people there were, the happier you would be... I'm sorry..."

Kai was embarrassed and apologized quickly: "No, no, don't be sad, I am still very grateful to you. So many people came to taste my food today, and I also collected different comments. I am really happy! But, I am a little tired. Suddenly I feel that it is good to have fewer people like usual, haha~"

After hearing this, Lin Xia and Popli burst out laughing at the same time!

"Lin Xia~ Thank you for being here today! And Popley, you are really troubled. I will invite you to have dinner at Dart's house. I can't do it anymore!"

"Haha~"

Kai's words caused everyone to laugh again.

After finishing the last bit of work in the store, the three of them immediately set out for Dart's house.

The three of them had been busy for the whole afternoon and were really hungry, so they started ordering food without hesitation.

Lin Xia ordered a set meal, apple pie, and juice; Bobri ordered salad, cheesecake, and juice; Kai ordered a set meal, apple pie, cookies, and wine.

Lin Xia knew that although Kai said he was tired today and hoped that there would be fewer people in the future, as a chef, he was happy to see so many people like his food no matter how tired he was.

While the three of them were eating, Dart happily came over to discuss the food with Kai. Lin Xia ate while earnestly learning from them.

She also likes cooking and making delicious food.

"In fact, to cook well, in addition to the chef's cooking skills, I think the ingredients are also very important!" Kai said seriously.

"Of course!" Dart agreed, "Whether the ingredients are fresh, whether the quality is pure, the use of seasonings, and the control of the heat are all very important. If any one of these links is not in place, the taste of the dish will be biased..."

The two chefs were discussing heatedly. Later, with the arrival of the guests, Dart regretfully ended the discussion and continued to work in the kitchen.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they said goodbye to each other and went home to rest.

Lin Xia was really tired today. After returning home, she quickly washed up and went to bed to rest!

When Lin Xia woke up the next day, he was fully recovered!

Peanuts can be harvested today. Peanuts are a crop that can be harvested repeatedly. After harvesting today, they can be harvested again every three days.

Lin Xia doesn't plan to sell the peanuts, so he's saving them for the time being so that he can use them to make oil later or have them as snacks.

The harvesting of peanuts is a little different from that of tomatoes and radishes. Each grid is not harvested by quantity but by weight. There are nine grids in one acre of land, and 5 kilograms of peanuts can be harvested in each grid.

Lin Xia planted a total of 5 acres of land and today she will harvest 225 kilograms of shelled peanuts.
