Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

In the next few days, Lin Xia basically went between the back mountain and her home.

After harvesting a lot of grapes and some apples from the mountains, and also some pineapples from the fields, Lin Xia began to make various fruit juices and blended juices.

Juices come in individual flavors of grape, apple and pineapple, as well as mixed flavors.

Dot also strongly recommended vegetable juice, but Lin Xia declined after trying it.

Fortunately, later on, fruit juice was added to the vegetable juice to make a blended juice. It tastes good and also has the nutrition of vegetables!

Lin Xia wanted to drink chilled fruit and vegetable juice, but the refrigerator’s preservation function was too powerful - the food would remain in the same state when taken out as before it was put in, so why couldn’t the refrigerator keep things chilled?

How funny!

Thinking of the ice milk that Mei treated her to last time, Lin Xia knew there must be a way.

After asking for advice, I realized that the level of my refrigerator was too low. In other words, I should just go to Gotz and buy a high-end refrigerator!

高级冰箱是三开门的，最上面的门内是用途最广的保鲜仓，由原来的3层*24格999份增加到9层*24格*999份了。

The middle door is a freezing chamber, the temperature of which can be adjusted at will. There are 3 layers*24 grids*999 portions in total, and the temperature of each grid can be set without interfering with each other.

Inside the bottom door is the ice making bin, which has only 1 layer*24 grids*999 portions. In the middle is an ice maker, which can make ice cubes of different sizes as needed.

This high-end refrigerator is not cheap. It cost me a lot, but it’s worth it!

After getting the refrigerator, Lin Xia immediately started making ice. The first things she made were small ice cubes and ice balls that could be put in a juice cup, filling up one compartment of each.

I also made some large blocks of ice for cooling down. When I rest in the outdoor tent, I put the ice blocks on it. It’s not too comfortable.

When I bought the refrigerator, I asked Goetz about the smart kitchen. Goetz said, "You have already collected all the basic kitchen utensils, and the house area has been expanded to meet the standards. You can upgrade to a smart kitchen. Once I build your pig pen, we can start construction!"

Yes, on this Wednesday, Lin Xia ordered the last piece of kitchenware - an oven. On Friday morning, Zack delivered it. She - Lin Xia - finally collected all the kitchenware!

However, Gotz's pigpen will not be built until the 27th, and we will come to confirm it on the 28th, so the upgrade can start on the 29th!

The official renovation will have to wait for a few days, but Lin Xia couldn't help but want to understand first what a smart kitchen is.

Because she finds the current kitchen very convenient to use.

There is no trouble at all with oil smoke, and water, electricity and gas are all available. For a dish you have cooked once, the recipe can be saved after asking. Next time you cook, you can directly choose from the menu. After you have chosen, you can also check whether there are enough ingredients in the refrigerator and backpack, and then prepare the corresponding materials according to the recipe and choose the necessary kitchen utensils for processing and production.

Moreover, this kitchen also provides unlimited plates and cutlery. As long as the used plates and cutlery are not used to hold food, they can be put into the backpack and automatically recycled into the kitchen's cutlery cabinet. Isn't it amazing!

Anyway, Lin Xia is absolutely satisfied. Not having to wash pots and dishes is an absolute blessing for a cook!

"Smart kitchens will be more convenient to use than current kitchens, and their main feature is intelligence." While working, Goetz explained the product to his sponsor.

"First of all, in terms of kitchenware, the kitchenware you currently have is just the most basic ones. With a smart kitchen, it will provide kitchenware of different specifications and types based on the basic kitchenware according to the different needs of various dishes, and it can provide several at the same time!"

"Wow!" Lin Xia exclaimed, "That means I can use several stew pots at the same time and stew chicken and duck at the same time, right?"

Goetz: "...You can also understand it this way. All kinds of kitchenware derived from basic kitchenware styles will be available in the smart kitchen. You just need to choose. Because the cuisine of each place and each country is different, the requirements for kitchenware are different. The smart kitchen collects all the currently known types of kitchenware to meet the needs of each chef.

In addition, the number of stoves will also increase according to your actual needs. "Gotz glanced at Lin Xia and continued, "To meet the needs of some people to stew multiple foods at the same time."

Lin Xia: Is there anything wrong with this? Doesn't this improve efficiency?

"These are actually secondary. The most important thing is that cooking will become very convenient. As long as the recipe is stored in the kitchen, the next time you make it, you can directly select the type and quantity, and make sure there are enough ingredients in the refrigerator and backpack. The kitchen will automatically process it, and there is no need for manual processing. Isn't it very intelligent?"

Lin Xia was completely shocked!

Isn’t this just like ordering takeout? The only difference is that you have to make the food yourself, enter the recipe, and prepare enough raw materials.

It really deserves the word "smart". This kitchen must be built, but——

"Gotz, how much does this kitchen cost? How much wood and stone are needed?"

"You don't need wood or stone to upgrade your smart kitchen, as long as you have the money!" Gotz said soothingly, "Because the level of smart kitchens is relatively high, ordinary materials are useless, and a lot of professional technology must be connected, so you just need to prepare the money!"

"So~"

How much is it? Just tell me. It makes me so anxious.

"One hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight gigabytes! Not expensive, right?" Gotz said with a smile.

"It's okay~" Lin Xia's heart was bleeding, but she still had to spend the money for her future takeout life.

"By the way, do you still bring your own cutlery?"

"Of course!" Goetz said proudly, "Not only do you bring your own, but we also provide different types of tableware for you to choose from depending on the nature of the food. If you want to cook and give it to others to taste, or take it for a picnic, we also provide disposable environmentally friendly tableware!"

Yes, it is indeed the configuration for takeout!

After learning about the functions of the smart kitchen, Lin Xia continued her daily routine of stocking up and making money.

Summer is coming to an end, and the herbs, flowers, fruits, etc. that only appear in summer are also entering the harvest time, and Lin Xia keeps picking them.

Since all the herbs needed to be processed and extracted, Lin Xia sold them all.

Flowers are not expensive, so Lin Xia saved them all and could give them as gifts.

Fruits are not that expensive, and not only can they be eaten directly, they can also be made into juice, cakes, and various dishes. Definitely save them!

Lin Xia would occasionally catch prey in the trap. Some of the good-looking ones were sold to Huo An at a high price, and the not-so-good-looking ones were killed and put in the refrigerator.

Summer is not the best season for eating meat, but autumn and winter are definitely the seasons for eating meat!
