Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"In addition to crop processing machines and feed processing machines, I also learned about livestock and poultry processing machines, that is, slaughtering machines." Gray continued, "In fact, this type of machine is not used much by the locals in Bluebell Village, but other towns have a huge demand for meat, so they have placed a large number of orders with them. I happened to come across it this time and learned a lot about it. It really benefited me a lot!"

Lin Xia was interested in this. She finally had the hope of eating meat, and it was especially convenient. She no longer had to worry about slaughtering cattle and sheep every time. She immediately asked Gray about the specific benefits.

“It’s like this, livestock processing machines and poultry processing machines are separate because although both are slaughtered, the two animals are very different in size and fur, so after slaughtering, what you get is also different.

Livestock mainly include large cattle, sheep, pigs, etc., and rabbits are also included here. After slaughtering, you can break down the meat and internal organs of each part according to your needs, and it also has a cleaning function; then you get the animal's fur, and you can choose depilated skin or fur-bearing skin, but what you get is fresh fur, which still needs to undergo tanning processing.

This requires upgrading the processing machine to add the function of by-product processing. After upgrading to a by-product processing machine, fur can be tanned and meat can be reprocessed, such as bacon, jerky, meat floss, sausage, etc.

The poultry processing machine is similar, except that what you get after slaughtering are feathers; after upgrading, the feathers can be dried and disinfected and then processed to get down, which is great for making cotton clothes and quilts!"

Everyone knows this, but——

"Can we only get down? Can't we directly process it into clothes and quilts?" Lin Xia asked anxiously.

"Of course you can, but you need to add fabric and cotton thread yourself. The by-product processing machine comes with drawings of basic styles. As long as you have raw materials that meet the requirements, you can make it. But there are not many styles (in fact, there are no styles at all, Gray is embarrassed to say). Generally speaking, people still like clothes that are carefully designed by designers!"

Lin Xia understood. It seems that it is better to make clothes for herself to wear. Otherwise, the clothes made by spending raw materials will not be worn out. Then the down feathers can only be saved and sold as raw materials.

"By the way, the poultry by-product processing machine can process not only feathers, but also meat. It's similar to livestock. You can add ingredients according to your preferences." Gray added, looking at Sabara, "Also, Grandpa, the mayonnaise processing machine and wool processing machine that our family used to make have also been upgraded in Gemini Village. After the upgrade, the mayonnaise processing machine can make various egg products, such as salted eggs, preserved eggs, tea eggs, etc.; the wool processing machine can be upgraded to a textile processing machine to make various fabrics, blankets, mosquito nets, etc.!"

"Really?" Saibala was in shock today. The changes outside were really too great. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

Gray curled his lips and thought: If I tell you everything at once, your dark circles will probably be much more than they are now.

Lin Xia listened to Gray's introduction and kept thinking in her mind, today she finished the milk processing machine, what should she process next. The mayonnaise processing machine is the least urgent, salted eggs, preserved eggs and tea eggs can actually be made by hand, it's just a bit troublesome, but it's not a business that needs to run a large volume, so occasionally when I have free time, I can just use it as a pastime.

The textile processing machine is good, but I don't need it urgently, and I don't think I'll need the raw materials, so I'll put it aside; the poultry processing machine, because poultry is small, I can kill it myself; to be honest, I want the livestock processing machine the most, but the crop processing machine seems to have a wider range of uses, but it's still the same, I don't have enough raw materials, so the effect I can achieve is small, so -

"Seibala, I've made up my mind. Please help me make a livestock processing machine first!"

Sabala: "That's no problem, but I'm still in the learning stage, so I guess the time won't be as fast as before. It also depends on how well Gray learns! Haha~" In general, Sabala was very satisfied with the results of Gray's study abroad this time.

Lin Xia understood: "It's okay, Gray, how much ore does this processing machine need and how much does it cost?"

Gray: "Do you want to make the processing machine first, or do you want to make it all at once and directly make it into a food processing machine? If you make the processing machine first, it will cost 2 diamonds + 4G, which will take about 5 days. When you need to upgrade it in the future, you will still need 2 diamonds + 4G. If you want to make it all at once, you will need 4 diamonds + 6G, which will take about 8 days."

"All in one go!" Lin Xia said immediately, absolutely refusing to admit that she wanted to save money, absolutely not!

"Haha~ OK!" Saibala said happily, "Gray and I will hurry up and make it for you, but where are you going to put this processing machine? Or in the animal house?"

Gray: "I don't recommend placing it in the animal hut, including the poultry processing machine in the future, because after all, it has a slaughtering function and will have an impact on the animals. And Lin Xia, don't you have a special crop processing workshop? Put them all there!"

Lin Xia thought it was okay: "Sure, but will it be inconvenient when slaughtering? Do I need to tie up the animal?"

"That's not necessary," Gray soothed. "You can select the animal you want to process on the processing machine's operating panel. As long as the target belongs to you, it doesn't matter where it is on the ranch or in your storage space, whether it's alive or dead, it can be selected for operation. Also, I heard that you are building a smart kitchen?"

Lin Xia said blankly: "Yes, it will be almost finished tomorrow."

Gray: "Smart kitchens have connectivity. Any food-related processing machine can be connected to it. It will be more convenient for you to operate the processing machine in the kitchen and process various foods."

My kitchen is amazing! Lin Xia instantly felt that the smart kitchen was really worth it!

After settling the processing fee, Lin Xia took out two pieces of Olihagang and gave them to Gray and Sebala respectively, thanking them for their hard work. Both of them happily accepted it!

Seeing the storage watch on Lin Xia's wrist, Sabara asked curiously, "Lin Xia, is this the latest level 5 storage watch? Aren't there many jewelry-shaped ones now? Why did a little girl like you choose a watch, and get such an ordinary style?"

It hurts to be criticized for her aesthetic taste again. Lin Xia said unconvincedly: "I don't like the designs of those jewelry. What can I do? At least a watch can be used to check the time at any time. How practical."

Now it was Sebala's turn to be hurt. You know, since the level 4 storage backpack, Sebala's jewelry had been selected for cooperation, and he had been quite complacent about it. This was the first time that he was criticized to his face for the bad appearance and was not recognized.

Gray watched the two people hurting each other, ignored them, and quietly returned to the workshop to organize the various processing machine notes he had learned during this period. After all, he would officially start production tomorrow!
