Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Lin Xia rolled her eyes at him. She didn't believe a word of Huo An's nonsense, but she handed the basket to him.

Huo An took the bamboo basket and looked inside, and was delighted: "Hedgehog cub, this is a good thing, many people like to raise this thing now! You are worthy of being my sister, you are amazing!"

Lin Xia: "Of course, it was also my good luck today. I took Ah Huang to the mountains and it found it." Then she let Ah Huang out of the pet bag. It was the first time for Ah Huang to come to someone else's house and he was full of curiosity.

Huo An glanced at this ordinary dog ​​in the Mineral Town and praised it halfheartedly, "Good dog. Well, how much are you going to sell these hedgehog cubs for?"

"You name a price first. It's time to show your sincerity. Brother, I believe in you!"

Huo An was caught off guard, and the expression on his face was very interesting. Fortunately, he was also a long-time businessman, so he quickly recovered and said, "I won't make a random offer. I'll give you 2 for each. I have to make some money, right? I'm not afraid of you asking for trouble. This is definitely a reasonable price among the purchase prices."

Lin Xia didn't think too much about it. They had been dealing with each other for such a long time, and they knew each other's situation pretty well.

If Ban, the pet dealer, wasn't here, Lin Xia would definitely have to argue about the price. It was because dealers pursued profits, and when they were in a monopoly position, the price was in their hands. But once a competitor appeared, as long as they were not thinking of a one-time deal, they would definitely be more honest in doing business.

This price cannot be said to be the highest, but it is certainly not low. It is probably above average.

After the settlement, Huo An settled several hedgehog cubs and took the initiative to greet Lin Xia, saying, "You take a rest first. I'll add a few dishes. We can have dinner when Zach comes back soon!"

"Okay, I'll take Huang out to the beach to play Frisbee for a while. He hasn't played it before!"

"Sure, if you practice well with it, maybe it can compete for the championship in next year's Sea Entering Festival! Besides, when dogs pick up frisbees, they often pick up all kinds of messy things, maybe there is something you like!" Huo An said with a smile.

Lin Xia was delighted after hearing this, and immediately took Ah Huang out with great interest.

He chose an open area on the beach, took out the frisbee, and threw it far away after Ah Huang was ready. It was his first time and he had no experience, so the frisbee flew more than ten meters away. The man and the dog looked into the distance, and Ah Huang didn't even move.

Lin Xia exclaimed, this frisbee is of really good quality and flies really far!

Seeing that the silly dog ​​didn't move, she could only run over and pick up the frisbee. The silly dog ​​followed Lin Xia and ran happily.

When preparing to throw again, Lin Xia told Ah Huang to try his best to catch the frisbee, otherwise she would give him a delicious meal in the evening. Ah Huang opened his mouth wide, stuck out his tongue and nodded repeatedly.

This time Lin Xia controlled the strength and, combined with the distance that Ah Huang usually used to catch the ball, threw the frisbee about 3 meters away. This time Ah Huang rushed out in time and caught up with the speed, but he had no experience when catching it. There is still a little difference between the frisbee and the ball, so he failed to catch it.

After landing, Ah Huang brought the frisbee back to Lin Xia. Lin Xia then began to adjust the distance of her throwing the frisbee according to Ah Huang's level and started training.

The two played for nearly half an hour. Ah Huang began to feel tired and didn't want to play anymore. Lin Xia put away the frisbee and let Ah Huang move freely, but he couldn't leave the beach. Ah Huang ran away excitedly.

Lin Xia also began to stroll along the beach, picking up any herbs she came across, and picking up any branches or garbage washed up by the sea. Ah Huang looked at this curiously and also brought things back to Lin Xia.

Finally, Huo An called Lin Xia back for dinner. Zack had been back for a while, but he didn't disturb her because he saw Lin Xia was busy.

At this time, the three of them sat at the table and began to eat. It seemed that Huo An was quite satisfied with the little hedgehog this time, so he prepared several dishes that Lin Xia liked, including boiled fish, spicy crab, and several autumn specialties of the small town, such as Matsutake rice, mushroom gratin, shredded pork with green peppers, and the last one was seafood soup.

Huo An also prepared a pet meal for Ah Huang, and Ah Huang's tail kept wagging while eating it!

While eating, several people chatted and some mentioned Lin Xia's performance at yesterday's concert. Of course, Zack was a kind-hearted person and would not say anything bad but only praise her. Huo An was more venomous and said that Lin Xia had no musical talent and could only improve through hard work.

Huo An then told the two of them another piece of news: "I am going to hold another sales event on the 10th of this month. When the time comes, you guys can come and support me!"

Lin Xia & Zack: "What are you selling? Rain gear again?" People in this town are not short of rain gear these days!

Huo An said excitedly: "Of course not, it's not all rain gear. Rain gear only accounts for a small part. It's mainly winter warm models and some new styles. But rain gear is not the focus! What I'm mainly selling this time are the costumes and props for the Halloween masquerade party prepared at the end of this month!"

"Wow!" Lin Xia gave Huo An a cool gesture. She had never attended the masquerade ball in Mineral Town, but she was still looking forward to it.

Zack hesitated and said, "But grocery stores sell cosmetics, and everyone in this town has their own cosmetics!" From what Zack said, he seemed to be worried that Huo An's products would not be easy to sell.

Huo An said confidently: "Don't worry about that. I've also been to the grocery store to look at your so-called masquerade items. To be honest, they are so low-end. There is no novelty at all! I dare say that every year everyone's costumes are the same, there is no change!"

Zach nodded.

Huo An: "Why are masquerade balls so popular all over the world? It's because of innovation. Every year, everyone's costumes are different, and everyone is guessing what this person will be like this time. Instead of wearing the same fixed costumes that have been the same for decades just to go through the motions, what's the point of that? So, the costumes and props I prepared this time will definitely amaze them and make them rush to buy them. And every year on the 10th, I will provide different and novel costumes, so that the masquerade in Mineral Town will live up to its name and everyone will be full of novelty!"

"Good!" Lin Xia was the first to applaud. "That's great! I support you. I'm really looking forward to what you said. By the way, don't we need to help with this sales event?"

"No need! With the experience from last time, I can definitely handle it by myself now. At worst, I can have Zack to help me. You, a little girl, can choose and dress up with other girls. You have been busy all year round, it's time for you to have your own life!"

After hearing what Huo An said, Lin Xia thought about it and realized that it was true. The residents in the small town lived a very comfortable life. They truly enjoyed life and made the most of it. However, since Lin Xia came here, she seemed to have been on edge. Even after finishing her work on the ranch, she would run to the mountains to continue working. She really should slow down.
