Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After lunch and a short rest, we went to the dwarfs' house. At this time, there were only 6 dwarfs there, and the dwarf in charge of taking care of the animals was still looking after the animals.

After Lin Xia gave all-purpose wheat flour to each dwarf, she began to discuss the work arrangements for the autumn labor starting tomorrow.

The first harvest in autumn is on the 6th, so in the first 5 days, you only need to arrange for the dwarfs to water the crops and take care of the animals. So Lin Xia directly asked 6 dwarfs to be responsible for watering from the 1st, and one of them would be responsible for harvesting on the 6th.

At the same time, they were reminded that if there was no harvesting task on that day, they could flexibly choose to help with watering or taking care of the small animals.

When it rains, the dwarfs who water the plants can just rest at home. Of course, they can leave early after completing their daily work. In short, the dwarfs are very happy with the flexible working system now adopted.

After saying goodbye to the dwarfs, Lin Xia turned and entered the grocery store. The 300 kilograms of rice that she ordered last time arrived. Lin Xia came to pay the bill and took away the rice that she had been longing for. As soon as the kitchen was renovated, she would definitely cook a pot of rice to satisfy her craving.

It was a rare occasion that there was nothing important to do this afternoon, so Lin Xia began to stroll around the town to enjoy the summer scenery of the last day in the town.

Walking south from between the hospital and the church, there is a large vacant area with a few large trees growing here and there. I don’t know what this area is used for. Is it a place reserved for new residents of the town in the future?

Walking out of this area, you will reach Rose Square to the left, and pass Dart's Hotel and Dick's orchard to the right. However, before reaching the hotel, to the south, there is a small park in the town, where some flowers and herbs appear from time to time. The most eye-catching one is a very beautiful small lake. Lin Xia likes to fish here very much.

With nothing to do, Lin Xia took out his fishing rod and a small stool, hid under the shade of a tree and started fishing. Lin Xia did not charge his strength to full, otherwise all he would have caught were large fish. If he charged his strength to medium, he would have a chance to catch large, medium and small fish. It was full of uncertainty, but also very fun!

After spending an afternoon, Lin Xia returned home in the sunset. When Gotz finished his work for the day and was about to go home, Lin Xia gave him a fish she had just caught.

Lin Xia wanted to give more, but the residents of the small town only accepted one gift a day and would not accept more than that. That’s how they have a bottom line!

After eating breakfast and dinner, Lin Xia first took the peanuts and corn stalks that were drying in the fields back to the warehouse as a way to digest food.

Then I washed up and went to bed to recharge my energy for the busy tomorrow!

On the 1st of autumn, I had two surprises right after I woke up!

The first one to be notified, new chicks have hatched and the ranch has welcomed new life. Please keep working hard!

Then when I was naming the chick, I suddenly realized that this chick—his meow was a male! A male!

No need to ask to know who did this. Da Zhuang tried hard to ignore Lin Xia's murderous eyes and strolled around as if no one was around.

What is the purpose of raising chickens? Before Lin Xia came to Mineral Town, everyone raised chickens for only one purpose, and that was to lay eggs. Even the annual cockfighting festival was attended by only hens. Now that a rooster has been hatched, it has no other use except for eating.

Lin Xia stared at the innocent little chick, unable to say anything. She could only name it "Xiao Zhuang" and keep it for the time being!

Wait for it to grow up in 7 days and see how it looks. If it looks good, she will see if she can sell it to Huo An at a high price. If it looks average, well, she hasn’t eaten roast chicken since she came here, so she can try it now!

With the appearance of the first rooster, Lin Xia was a little distressed. All the eggs collected before were mixed together and stored. Now she couldn’t tell which ones were Da Zhuang’s and which were normal ones. She could only hatch them first, like guessing a blind box!

There was a sequel to the rooster incident. Later, a rooster was hatched from the eggs of a black chicken. Lin Xia was so angry that she gritted her teeth - Da Zhuang was a breeding hen that didn't obey any rules!

The second surprise I received today was that our pet Ah Huang had grown up!

The little puppy Ah Huang turned into a majestic and strong dog overnight. Lin Xia was extremely happy. In the future, she would have an extra layer of protection when she went to the back mountain. She could train Ah Huang to hunt, haha!

And now that Ah Huang is an adult, you can take him to the beach to play the frisbee game to train his sensitivity and obedience. That’s great!

Looking at the changes in the animals at home, Lin Xia calmed down and ate breakfast happily. During breakfast, she also watched TV every day. Paying attention to the weather for the next day was essential, and the next thing was TV shopping.

After Lin Xia bought the Fruit of Power, she wasn't very interested in the shopping items that appeared later, such as carpets and wedding beds. She was a single dog from birth, she didn't even have a partner, and it was too early for her to get married!

But the product on TV shopping today is a bit interesting, it's actually a multifunctional massage chair? Watching the salesperson introduce and try it out on TV, Lin Xia really wants it. After working all day, taking a bath and getting a massage, how comfortable it is!

Lin Xia decided to take some time to go to Dart’s house and place an order by phone. We have money now!

After dinner, I took the seeds I already had and went to sow them first, letting the dwarfs water them first. Then I went to the grocery store to buy the remaining seeds and sow them. After I had made up my mind, I just walked out of the house and ran into Kai who was carrying luggage.

"Good morning, Lin Xia~ I'm here to say goodbye to you!"

"Ah? Saying goodbye? Are you leaving?" Lin Xia asked with concern.

"Yes, summer is over, and I have to go back. I had a great time in Mineral Town this year. Besides Gray, I also met a good friend like you, so I came here to say goodbye to you. Goodbye, I have to go back and reunite with my family."

"Ah~ I really miss you, please take care of yourself!"

Kaile said with a smile: "Don't be like that, I will come again next summer, let's get together then!"

After seeing Kai off, Lin Xia calmed herself down and started sowing seeds. According to the pre-planned plan, she planted 12 acres of Chinese cabbage, 4 acres of sunflowers, 8 acres of green peppers, and 4 acres of fantasy grass.

After sowing, at around 8 o'clock, Lin Xia came to the five trees at her home and began picking ripe apples, oranges and honey. There were no more grapes left!

Lin Xia brought 8 freshly picked oranges and immediately peeled and ate one. It was sweet with a little bit of sourness and had no seeds. She was so happy!

Lin Xia ran all the way to the grocery store. The whole town was bathed in golden color in autumn, making people feel warm and soft!

Arriving at the grocery store, it was particularly busy today, probably because new products were on the shelves. Lin Xia didn't have time to look at anything else, and rushed directly to the seed counter, quickly buying 120 bags of eggplant (300G), carrots (300G), sweet potatoes (300G), red beans (300G), and peppers (99G), spending a total of G.

The spinach seeds as planned were not available. After asking Jeff, Lin Xia learned that they had not been introduced yet. Lin Xia suddenly realized that spinach was a hidden seed, just like strawberries in spring and pumpkins in summer. It would be put on the shelves only when 100 other crops had been shipped.

Then Lin Xia could only make a temporary adjustment and plant cabbage on the land planned for spinach first. She had originally planned to switch to cabbage after planting spinach for the fourth time. Now she is just adjusting the order and it will not affect anything.
