Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Lin Xia ran home with a trembling heart, banging her head all the way. What were you thinking? How dare you ask an artist to do carpentry for you? Don’t you know that art is the most expensive? You really don’t know your place!

Now that the kitchen cannot be used, we can only put out the camping tent. Although the kitchen in the tent is not as good as the one at home, it was purchased at a huge cost, and the kitchen inside can still meet normal needs.

It just so happened that Kappa's smashed cucumber also needed to be made, so Lin Xia took out the necessary ingredients from the refrigerator and went to the tent kitchen. She first made 10 portions of smashed cucumbers to be given to Kappa. While making them, she couldn't resist her greed and made 5 extra portions for herself.

I recalled what Gotz likes to eat, and he seems to like fish very much, so let's make him grilled fish this time!

I selected a sea fish about 60 cm in length, gutted it, cleaned it, made a few cuts on the fish, and then marinated it with seasoning for about 30 minutes.

During the marinating period, Lin Xia began to prepare some side dishes, such as slicing mushrooms, bamboo shoots, cucumbers, potatoes, and onions to put under the fish.

Then there are the indispensable versatile spices such as onion, ginger, garlic, etc.

After the fish is marinated, put it in the baking tray, brush it with oil, add salt, pepper, soy sauce, cooking wine, etc., spread it evenly, and then put it in the oven to bake.

After 30 minutes, a rich aroma wafted out. Lin Xia regretted that she should have baked one more for herself. Forget it, she decided to wait until the kitchen was ready before making one for herself.

Bring out the roasted golden and crispy fish, take out a slightly deeper, heatable shallow iron plate, put onion shreds, side dishes, etc. on the bottom, then put the fish on it, sprinkle chives and chili peppers on the fish, add the prepared soup and start heating.

Considering that Gotz might not be able to eat spicy food, Lin Xia did not put too much, just a little to enhance the flavor. After 10 minutes, the soup in the fish dish began to bubble, and the aroma was really tempting.

Lin Xia forced herself to take out the appropriate kitchen utensils to put the whole plate of grilled fish in, and then quickly put it into her watch. She would give it directly to Gotz tomorrow. This thing cannot be packaged in the grocery store anymore.

After a busy day, I feel hungry again. I picked out a plate of stir-fried rabbit from my food storage for a week as a midnight snack.

The next morning, after breakfast and checking the weather, when I was about to go out, I unexpectedly ran into the smiling Carter.

"Good morning, Lin Xia~"

"Good morning, Carter. Why do you come to see me so early? Is there something wrong?" Lin Xia asked curiously.

"It's like this. Tomorrow is the day when the town holds its annual concert. It will be held in the church at 6 o'clock tomorrow evening. I would like to invite you to attend. Are you willing?"

"Okay, I do!" Lin Xia was happy. It was a concert, and she had never attended one before. She wanted to see it for herself.

Carter said happily: "Okay, you are responsible for playing the ocarina. I will give it to you when you arrive at the church tomorrow. Don't be late tomorrow. I will go back first. You need to get ready!" After that, he turned and left.

"Hey, hey~" Lin Xia wanted to call Carter, but Carter walked so fast that he didn't hear what Lin Xia said next. "I'm not very good at playing the ocarina? Can't I just sit at the side and enjoy the concert? Do I need to participate in person?"

Lin Xia was now troubled, wondering if it would be better to run down to the church and talk about it later, otherwise the annual concert would be ruined.

At this time, Gotz also came over to continue renovating the kitchen. Lin Xia immediately gave him the gift she had prepared. Gotz was so moved that he couldn't speak clearly: "Thank you, Lin Xia, I didn't expect you to remember my birthday and gave me such a good gift. I am so touched!"

Huh? What's going on? Lin Xia thought she was the first person to give Goetz a birthday present, so how come someone else got there before her? Could it be Goetz's good friend Harris? He came to send birthday wishes so early!

"Haha~ It seems that I am still not as affectionate as Harris is to you. He actually came over to celebrate your birthday so early!"

Gotz curled his lips and said, "No, he never thought of giving me a gift. Instead, he often comes to my place for free food and drinks. I'm not talking about him, but Brandon who is staying at my house. I didn't expect that he knew my birthday after only being here for a few days. He is indeed an artist, and his mind is very delicate!"

Lin Xia snorted in her heart, "Thinking carefully? Isn't it just repeating what others say?"

Ever since he shamelessly opened his mouth yesterday, Lin Xia no longer thinks he is handsome. After all, no matter how handsome a man is, he can't be as evil as a man with a black heart!

"Yes!" Goetz was still very touched. "You don't know, he actually gave me a sculpture of my cabin and the scene next to it. It's all lifelike, so beautiful and exquisite. Lin Xia, come over some other day and I'll show it to you!"

Lin Xia - Lin Xia felt like she was going to explode with anger. Someone actually plagiarized her ideas. That was too much!

In fact, she didn't even think about it. The idea of ​​this log cabin originally came from Brandon. Lin Xia first suggested carving a figure, okay?

But there was no point in being angry. Lin Xia watched Gotz happily remodeling the kitchen. She could only check her mailbox angrily. The mailbox indicator light was on.

I opened my mailbox and found 4 emails, one of which was a notification of winning a prize – yes, I got another bottle of “Ban’s favorite gift”, but unfortunately, I haven’t saved enough money yet!

The second one is a new product notice from the grocery store: New fall styles are available. The weather is getting colder, so you can consider buying new clothes! Our store has a variety of new fall styles available. We look forward to seeing you! - Jeff

The third letter was from the hospital: Dear Lin Xia, for some reason, you missed the ginseng seeds when you collected the processed ginseng yesterday. I am very sorry. Please take time to come to the hospital to collect them! - Very sorry, Ellie and Dot.

Ah! By the way, I didn’t get the ginseng seeds back, and I was wondering if I could grow them myself! I have to go get them and ask about it.

The fourth one was from the Blacksmith House: Dear Lin Xia, the multifunctional milk processing machine you requested is finished. After all, it is the first time to make it. Considering that there may be some deficiencies, it has not been delivered directly to your house for the time being. Please take time to come to the Blacksmith House to inspect the goods as soon as possible. If there is anything inappropriate, I can correct it in time! - Saibala

Also: Gray is back from training, come over when you have time!

Oh my god, Gray is back from the Twin Village!

Lin Xia was pleasantly surprised. He wondered how much he had learned this time. He could now start making all kinds of processing machines of his own! Haha~

However, it’s still early now, the blacksmith shop doesn’t open until 10 o’clock!

Now is the time to harvest the five trees in the yard and take a walk in the back mountain. We’ll talk about the chestnuts in the afternoon.

Now I don’t have to worry about watering and taking care of the animals. It really is a lot easier!

Lin Xia put all the remaining minerals at home into the storage watch. She would go to the blacksmith shop later to thank the grandfather and grandson properly.

Now different ores occupy different grids, and the quantity is not much, which is a bit wasteful. You still need to buy some storage boxes to place these ores in the area storage grid. This is more scientific! Or you can try to put the boxes into the quantity grid, can you put more ores or other things? This seems more scientific.
