Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"Gray~ you're finally back!" Lin Xia shouted happily as soon as she entered the blacksmith shop and saw the familiar young man in the workshop.

The boy smiled happily when he saw Lin Xia and said, "Lin Xia, how are you doing recently?"

"Haha~ I'm fine! How are you?"

"Ahem~" Saibala beside them interrupted their chat unhappily, "Lin Xia, you're here?"

"Oh, Sebala, good morning!" Lin Xia greeted, "Ah~ I see you don't look very well, are you so happy that Gray came back yesterday that you didn't sleep well? Hehe..."

As if he had hit the nail on the head, Sabara finally smiled, walked to the counter and said, "Yeah, kid, you didn't tell me you were coming back, you really scared me. Let's not talk about this for now, take a look at the multifunctional milk processing machine I made for you! Hey, it's a good thing Gray came back this time, otherwise this processing machine wouldn't have been completed so quickly!"

"Grandpa~" Gray's face immediately turned red, and he said embarrassedly, "Don't say that!"

It seems that distance really creates beauty. In the past, it was not so easy for Saibala to praise his grandson in front of everyone. This time, his beloved grandson has been gone for nearly a month, which makes the old man miss him very much.

but--

"Gray, why have you become so dark? You're almost the same color as Kai!" Lin Xia exclaimed.

Gray used to be a fair and handsome young man, but now he has become much darker and looks a bit dirty!

Gray said embarrassedly: "This time when I go to the Twin Village, I will not only learn how to make processing machines from the master indoors, but also go to various ranches to learn about the habits of various crops and animals. The summer sun is a bit strong, so I got a little tanned, but it should be okay?" As he spoke, he began to lose confidence.

"Well~ Boys should be dark and strong. Why should they be so white? This is good!" Sabala was the first to jump out to comfort his grandson.

"That's right, a handsome guy is handsome no matter what, it has nothing to do with skin color, don't worry!" Lin Xia also hurried to comfort him, secretly blaming herself for being too talkative.

"This is the milk processing machine. Look." Saibala pulled Lin Xia over to look at the machine. "This is the operating table, this is the feed port, and this is the delivery port. Try it. By the way, did you bring the milk?"

"I brought it, I brought it with me!" Lin Xia happily took the milk from the storage watch. Suddenly, her eyes rolled and she took out a bottle of fruit milk and said, "By the way, I also brought fruit milk. I'll treat you to some. It's delicious. Do you like coffee flavor or strawberry flavor?"

"I'm old, and it's harder for me to fall asleep after drinking coffee. So try the fruit flavor! Give me some ice, it's hot next to the stove!" Sabala said to Lin Xia.

"Grandpa, please don't add ice. Old people need to take care of themselves and can't drink things that are too cold." Gray said with concern, but Sabara didn't appreciate it.

"I'm still in my prime, why can't I drink something ice-cold? In such a hot day, of course it's more comfortable to drink something ice-cold!" Saibala insisted.

The warmth was too short, and the grandfather and grandson started arguing again. Lin Xia interrupted them quickly: "I'll just add a small piece of ice to increase the taste. Sebala, what Gray said makes sense. It's not a matter of age. People of all ages can't be greedy for coolness, especially now that it's autumn, it's easy to catch a cold. I'm so young, and I still asked Dot for the secret of keeping healthy. Gray is just concerned about you."

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and directly poured fruit milk into their cups, adding a small piece of ice to each of them.

Then he took out ordinary milk, put it into the feed port under the guidance of Sabala, and started operating on the operating table.

选择加工产品：1、黄油；2、奶酪；3、冲饮奶粉；4、酸奶；5、奶片/糖。

Huh?

"Wow! So many things can be processed?" Lin Xia couldn't help but screamed and looked at Sabara in disbelief.

Sabara laughed proudly and said, "Yes, it's a good thing that Gray went out to study. Otherwise, I wouldn't know that the outside world has improved to this extent. It's a surprise!"

Lin Xia nodded rapidly, what a surprise!

"Besides butter and cheese, which must be processed with regular milk, milk powder, yogurt, milk flakes and candies are not limited to any type of milk. You can also process these fancy milks and add other ingredients you like!"

Lin Xia hurriedly continued to explore. Butter, cheese and milk powder are relatively simple and do not require the addition of other ingredients. After selecting milk, she selected the processing quantity and the corresponding packaging and clicked on the processing button. In less than a minute, the packaged processed products appeared at the shipping port. Of course, the processing time will vary depending on the processing quantity.

This was an experiment, so Lin Xia chose not much. Just a small piece of butter and cheese, and only a small bag of milk powder.

You can choose to add sugar, fruit, nuts, grains and other ingredients to yogurt; toffee also needs to be added with sugar or honey, as well as other flavor ingredients.

There are also many options for packaging, including bags, boxes, cans made of different materials, etc. This processing machine is really beyond my expectations.

Lin Xia immediately held Sebala's rough big hand (she didn't dare to hold Gray's, as it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, he has someone he likes!) and said with emotion: "Sebala, you are really amazing. The ore and money I provided last time must not be enough. Don't be polite. Just tell me how much is missing and I will make up for it."

Saibala was also moved with tears in his eyes and said, "Then I won't be polite to you. Please give me another 4 diamonds and 2 G!"

Lin Xia: “……OK!”

Fortunately, they brought all the ore from home. Lin Xia paid the bill promptly, and Sabara said that he would ask Gray to send it home later.

Lin Xia pulled Gray aside again and asked him what techniques he had learned on this trip and whether he could make any new processing machines.

"Lin Xia, the crop processing machine you asked me to inquire about before is no problem. I will discuss the principles and techniques with Grandpa later. The technology in this Hua Village is quite mature. This processing machine can meet the basic processing needs of the harvested crops, such as drying, threshing, peeling, grinding, oil pressing, crushing, etc. It can also process some side dishes, but this requires a second upgrade.

Another is the feed processing machine, which is the technology of Blue Bell Village and is quite mature. In addition to processing the most basic feed for crops, other ingredients can be added according to needs to process compound feed. Currently, the types of animals that can be satisfied include chickens, rabbits, geese, ducks, cattle, sheep and pigs. By the way, for some pets, some pet food can also be processed, but this part has higher requirements and needs to be upgraded twice. "

"Pet food? Is it the pet snacks sold by Huo An and Ban now?" Lin Xia asked curiously. If it is this, then it can save a lot of money!

"No, pet snacks are pet treats. According to the people of Bluebell Village, it doesn't matter whether you eat them or not. The only benefit is that it can quickly improve the pet's favorability and make them happy. However, the pet's favorability can also be improved by your sincere companionship with the pet. Pet food must be eaten every day to maintain life and health. It is a rigid need."

"Oh, I see!" It's dog food, cat food and the like. Now Lin Xia has three pets. Bailong doesn't belong to him completely, so its food is provided by Muchi; Ah Huang is brought by the ranch without Lin Xia's consent, so its food is also provided by the Mineral Town; the third one is Da Zhuang, who was raised by Lin Xia himself. Lin Xia has to pay for the food for this guy himself. He eats three times as much as an ordinary chicken every day, but he doesn't lay eggs and has no output. It's really a loss. No, I have to take it with me when I go to the back mountain in the future. It must contribute to the family!
