Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"By the way, your dog has grown up, you can take it to the beach to play catching Frisbees! I don't recommend buying dog leashes from me, but you can buy Frisbees from me! Do you want to buy one today?"

"Yeah, let's buy a Frisbee. How much is it?"

"No cheating, no bargaining, 5000G! Hehe~" Huo An rubbed his hands and smiled.

Lin Xia: "What kind of frisbee is this? It's so expensive?"

"This is a creative Frisbee exclusively licensed by Mineral Town. It even has the Mineral Town logo on it! I didn't sell it an extra gigabyte."

Lin Xia curled her lips: "Okay, come on!"

Huo An smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss. Bring your Ah Huang to the beach often to practice more and strive to win the championship in the Sea Entering Festival next year! Also, when playing with Frisbees on the beach, when the dog goes to pick up the Frisbee, there is a chance that he will pick up something else!"

"Is it true?" Lin Xia was surprised. Suddenly, it felt like she was buying a lottery ticket. She was more willing to pay for it.

Huo An took the money, handed the Frisbee to Lin Xia, and then asked, "Do you want to buy a toy ball for the dog?"

"Isn't there a Frisbee?"

"Well, frisbee can only be played on the beach. Won't you interact with your dog when you get home? Dogs also need entertainment!" Huo An had an expression on his face that said you are a bad owner.

Lin Xia felt uncomfortable being stared at, and after thinking about it she decided to buy it. The key point was that the toy ball was not expensive, only 100G.

When I was organizing the storage watch, I saw the few pieces of ore left in the backpack. I thought that I hadn't given Huo An a gift for a long time, so I might as well give him a gift today. So I took out a piece of gold ore and gave it to him.

Huo An immediately said happily that Lin Xia was a kind-hearted person, and had forgotten that he had despised her just a moment ago. She really is worthy of being a businessman!

After finishing her shopping, Lin Xia strolled to the hotel. On the way, she passed by the secret park in the town center and took a stroll inside. She picked a red grass and a green grass. It seems that the blue grass is unique to the beach in autumn. Moreover, the blue grass is the one that restores the most physical strength among all the grasses Lin Xia has picked, so she has to save it up.

I arrived at the hotel, made an order call, and successfully ordered a massage chair for myself, which cost 2 G and was delivered about 3 days later.

After returning to the ranch, Lin Xia took a look at the dwarfs' watering situation and felt that there would be no problem in watering all the land before 6 pm, so she went to the animal house with confidence. The milk processing machine had already been delivered and installed by Gray.

Ordinary dairy cows are currently pregnant and cannot produce ordinary milk, so Lin Xia processed all the fancy milk that the dwarfs harvested today into milk powder, yogurt and milk tablets.

Coffee milk is processed into milk powder and packaged in convenient and practical small bags. Each bag contains one cup of milk. Fancy Cows now produce 10L/barrel of S milk, which can be processed into milk powder to produce 1 kilogram.

5L of strawberry milk and fruit milk were respectively processed into yogurt. Lin Xia didn't like things that were too sour, so she added a little sugar for flavoring. She chose the 500ml boxed yogurt and made 20 boxes in total.

The remaining 5L of strawberry milk and fruit milk were processed into milk tablets and milk candies. No sugar was added to the milk tablets, but honey and sugar were added to the milk candies. Different sweetness levels were adjusted, and various beautiful bags, glass bottles and other packaging materials were selected for easy consumption or giving as gifts.

The 5th is Ellie's younger brother You's birthday, so let's give him this candy as a gift!

After happily finishing the milk and snacks, Lin Xia went home and tidied up the refrigerator and storage cabinets. She placed the mushrooms and chestnuts she had picked outside to dry as usual. When she had a crop processing machine in the future, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble and could just process and dry them directly.

The ginseng seeds can only be planted next spring, and now they can only be placed in the tool box, along with the special nutrient solution given by the doctor.

Then he caught Ah Huang and played with the ball for a while, training its skills in catching the ball and listening to commands. Bailong ran aside curiously and watched the two of them interacting with each other.

The day of the music festival soon arrived. The festival started at 6 pm. During the day, Lin Xia was still a normal worker, checking in at the back mountain and parkouring all over the town.

After giving gifts to the goddess and the kappa in the back mountain, Lin Xia took Ah Huang and Da Zhuang to continue to familiarize themselves with the forest. In order to prevent Ah Huang from running around, Lin Xia gave Da Zhuang an order that if Ah Huang did not obey orders, don't be polite, just peck it. If it gets hurt, don't blame it, because he has medicine anyway.

After enjoying Da Zhuang's unreserved "caress" several more times, Ah Huang finally became obedient and followed behind Lin Xia with Da Zhuang, watching Lin Xia sticking out her butt, digging here and cutting there.

The mountains and forests in autumn are full of mountain products, as if to make up for the lack of mushrooms in spring. Even though it has not rained during this period, there are still many mushrooms in the mountains, such as shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, etc. Lin Xia picks them as soon as she sees them, without mercy.

But there is another main purpose today, which is to pick Panax notoginseng. Lin Xia has been waiting impatiently from spring to autumn.

Arriving at the area where Panax notoginseng grew, Lin Xia took out a set of special collection tools (hoe, knife, scissors, storage box, etc.) that he had prepared long ago and began digging and collecting.

Pay special attention when picking. Only mature Panax notoginseng can be picked. Mature Panax notoginseng can generally be distinguished by observing the color of its leaves. When the leaves turn yellow, a special fragrance is emitted, and small hairs grow on the leaves, it means that its medicinal effect is best at this time.

The parts of Panax notoginseng with the best medicinal properties are its rhizomes and flowers. Panax notoginseng flowers are picked from the unopened buds and should be picked in summer, but Lin Xia did not know the medicinal value of the flowers at that time and was only waiting for the rhizomes. It was not until Duote gave her a scientific explanation that she realized that she had to wait until next year.

There are also rules for picking rhizomes, which are divided into spring Panax notoginseng and eastern Panax notoginseng. Spring Panax notoginseng is usually picked after the flowers are removed, and is also picked in late summer or early autumn, with the highest quality.

Winter Panax notoginseng is Panax notoginseng that is dug up after keeping seeds. It is usually 20-30 days after the seeds mature and are picked. The rhizomes picked in late autumn and early winter are of poor quality and are not recommended for picking.

Moreover, Panax notoginseng is a variety of Chinese medicinal material that can be harvested multiple times. When harvesting its medicinal parts, damage to other parts of the plant should be avoided so that the plant can continue to grow normally after its medicinal parts are harvested.

Therefore, you must be careful not to damage it when picking it. The technique should be gentle, not pulling it hard, and the root system of Panax notoginseng should be intact when digging, and the above-ground part and the ungrown Panax notoginseng next to it should be damaged as little as possible, otherwise it will affect the growth of Panax notoginseng next year or even in the future.

Lin Xia did not plan to plant Panax notoginseng, so he did not consider the issue of seed preservation. He only selected Panax notoginseng plants that were healthy and had grown for more than 3 years and picked their rhizomes.

I plan to come back next summer to pick Panax notoginseng flowers. I lost a lot of money this year. It's really not good to be uneducated. It affects my ability to make money.

While Lin Xia was picking Panax notoginseng, she asked Da Zhuang to take Ah Huang for a stroll to see the charm of the forest and tell them not to disturb her. Of course, if the two brothers found anything good, they should remember to come to her in time.

Da Zhuang pretended not to hear and left with Ah Huang who was eager to try.
