Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

On the 27th, baby rabbit 2 successfully gave birth to baby rabbit 3 (7-star limit), so now there are two rabbits that can be sheared into M-shaped hair. Each rabbit produces 0.9 catties of hair at a time, and the processed wool yarn also produces 0.9 catties, with no loss.

Currently, there is only one sheep that can cut M-shaped wool every 7 days and produce 3 kilograms of wool at a time; and the alpaca is currently 2 stars and still produces S-shaped wool, but it can produce up to 10 kilograms of wool at a time, which can be said to be very cost-effective.

Last time, Lin Xia kept 3 jin 2 liang of white coarse rabbit wool yarn, and 1 jin each of black, red and pink wool yarns of normal thickness. Later, she consulted the old grandmother Ai Lian in the town and learned that an adult sweater requires 2 jin of coarse yarn. The thinner the wool yarn, the less yarn is needed, so Lin Xia added 3 jin of each of the three colors of wool yarn this time.

The newly harvested 1 jin of rabbit hair was processed into the same white wool yarn as last time, making up a total of 8 jin. Lin Xia still likes pure white sweater coats and long scarves. When the time comes, she will knit a cute hat and a pair of gloves, which will definitely be very cute to wear in winter.

Let’s see who will call himself a man again from now on, huh!

Lin Xia tested the remaining yarn with other colors in the yarn processing machine. She kept the ones that looked good, and threw the ones she didn't like into the shipping box to sell. Currently, Lin Xia has 5 kilograms of rabbit yarn, 10 kilograms of wool yarn, and the remaining 4 kilograms are 1 kilogram of fine yarn of each color.

Lin Xia put all the wool into the storage cabinet in the house. She didn't need to carry it with her. She still had to buy a set of knitting needles or something when she had time, and ask Grandma Ailian for some knitting tips. Well, she made a note of this. When she has nothing to do in the winter, she will learn how to knit a sweater while sitting by the fireplace at home, watching TV. It's pretty good.

After happily packing up the supplies, Lin Xia went to the pigpen again and fed Xiao Hei today's feed to calm its uneasy heart. However, watching it snort while eating, it felt that pigs should not be so sensitive and fragile. As long as it eats enough, it will be fine!

After leaving the pigsty, I inspected the growth of the grass, made timely interventions according to the situation, and then went home to wash up and go to bed.

In the morning, when the dwarves were harvesting, Lin Xia went to the back mountain to check in first. Today was Wednesday, and she ran into Dot who had come out to pick herbs in the mountains. As usual, Lin Xia gave him herbs as a gift.

Dot: "Thank you, Lin Xia, this really helped me a lot! By the way, the herbs you asked me to prepare and the medicines you ordered are all ready, don't forget to come to the hospital to pick them up tomorrow!"

I almost forgot about it. I have been very busy these past few days. Lin Xia quickly expressed her gratitude: "Okay, okay, thank you for reminding me. I will definitely go tomorrow!"

I happened to be going to the grocery store to buy autumn seeds. After I came out, I turned left and there was the hospital, so it was on my way!

At this time, Brandon also came to the mountain. Lin Xia discovered that Brandon really liked this back mountain and came here almost every day.

"Good morning, Brandon!" Lin Xia greeted.

Brandon turned around and saw Dot and Lin Xia standing by the lake. He smiled and responded, "Good morning, Lin Xia! What's this?"

It seems that the two don't know each other yet. That's right. Brandon has only been in the town for a few days. Every day he either goes up the mountain or stays at home. And Dort, the medical fanatic, except for Wednesdays when the hospital is closed, he will go to the mountains to collect herbs in the morning and go to the library to increase his knowledge in the afternoon. The rest of the time he is in the hospital.

Normal people would not like to go to the hospital unless they are sick (why do I feel something is wrong!), so this is the first time the two of them have met!

So Lin Xia was honored to be the middleman and quickly introduced the two people: "This is Dot, the doctor in our town. If you need him in the future, you can go to the town hospital to see him." Lin Xia first introduced Dot to Brandon, then looked at Dot and said: "Dot, this is Brandon who came to our town temporarily a few days ago. He is a sculptor and is currently staying at Goetz's house."

Dortmund still had his usual serious expression, but those who knew him well could see that he was in a relatively relaxed state at the moment. He said to Brandon seriously, "Hello, I'm the town doctor, Dortmund. I've heard about you from the mayor. As a doctor, I suggest that you come to the hospital for a physical examination when you have time. After all, you fainted in the mountains before. A checkup can prevent any problems with your body and allow for timely treatment!"

After hearing this, Brandon still smiled and replied: "Hello, Dot. Thank you for your concern. Well, I will go to the hospital to see you tomorrow. I will trouble you then!"

After hearing this, Dot smiled and said, "Okay, the hospital is open from 9 am to 4 pm every day. Of course, if there is any emergency, you can come to the hospital to find me at any time. I live upstairs in the hospital, so don't worry about not being able to find me."

Brandon nodded, "I see! Thank you!"

After exchanging greetings, the two said goodbye to each other. Brandon continued to climb up, while Dot went into the nearby forest to collect herbs. After Lin Xia delivered the tributes to the goddess and the kappa, she checked the traps and picked the last herbs and flowers of summer she saw along the way.

Lin Xia didn’t plan to spend too much time in the mountains today, so he returned to the ranch around 10:.

On the last day of summer, after the dwarfs harvested the remaining 10 acres of corn, Lin Xia also cut all the corn stalks, spread them on the open ground to dry and store them for future use as feed.

The newly harvested corn was also dried and stored as before, leaving only 50 tender corns for myself, which I would occasionally steam and cook for breakfast or as a snack.

Corn is more widely used after it is dried. It can be ground into cornmeal, or corn crumbs can be added to porridge to make multi-grain porridge.

Even for making chicken feed, dry corn is better!

The harvesting dwarfs will go home to rest as usual after the harvest, and they will not need to harvest starting tomorrow. As for the work arrangements after tomorrow, Lin Xia said that she will visit the dwarfs' family today and make specific arrangements for the work for the next month at that time.

That’s right, now the dwarves’ work commission cycle has been extended from half a month to one month, and as long as the task of the day is completed, they can go home directly. It can be said to be very humane, hehe!

Lin Xia finished cutting the straw, cleared the ground, and checked the other land again to see if there were any weeds. He cut them and put them into the space. The weeds in the field cannot be discarded. They can be made into failed dishes with the lowest cost. They are essential ingredients for making recovery grass, and they are 6 different failed dishes.

It’s already noon when I finish all this. I’m so hungry that I’m going home to eat!

The food provided by Dart today was very rich, and it should be the specialties of the small town, including seafood rice, shark fin soup, eight-treasure dish, and French quiche.

Lin Xia was very satisfied with the meal!
