Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Looking at the big river clam or sea clam in front of him, Lin Xia fell into deep thought.

Just use something to pry it open? The mouth of this clam is even tighter than the one that King Bi Cang kissed, and it fits perfectly.

Cook the pearls before taking them out? Will this affect the quality of the pearls?

Lin Xia thought for a long time and felt that it was time to go to the library to expand her knowledge.

I looked at the time and saw that the library was still open, so I put on my beautiful raincoat again and rushed out of the house.

"Welcome~ Oh, it's Lin Xia!" Mary greeted someone warmly when she saw someone coming into the library, "How come you have time to come to the library today?"

Lin Xia was a little embarrassed: "Haha~ It's raining today, the ranch is not so busy, so I came to the library to enrich myself."

Mary smiled and said, "Welcome, feel free to choose any book you want to read!"

"Uh~ Well, could you please recommend something to me? I don't know much about the books here!"

"If it's something like this, it's no problem at all. I'm good at it. I'm glad to know that Lin Xia is also interested in books."

I always feel that my image of being unlearned and unskilled has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every small town resident.

"Huh? Lin Xia is here in the library too?" At this time, two people came down from the second floor of the library. It was Bobli, followed by Karin.

Karen: "Hey, it turns out that Lin Xia can read books too, that's a bit surprising."

Lin Xia's heart attack: Are you polite? Although it is true.

Mary: "Lin Xia came here today to ask me to recommend a book to her. We just agreed that I will choose a book suitable for Lin Xia today."

Kallen: “Oh, that’s great.”

Poubli: "Poubli wants it too! Poubli doesn't usually read books, so I don't know what kind of books are interesting."

Mary was even happier when she heard this: "Don't worry, there are many kinds of books. As long as you choose the right ones, there will definitely be books suitable for you two."

Kallen: "So, are there any books suitable for me to read?"

"Well... for Karen, how about an adventure story that can increase your cooking knowledge?" Mary thought for a moment and suggested. Lin Xia wanted to laugh after hearing this, as she felt that Mary was hinting at Karen.

"It's about a general who travels across the country in secret in pursuit of the finest ingredients. It's called 'The Greedy General'. There are detailed recipes for all the dishes that appear during the journey, and every dish is written very clearly."

Lin Xia: I am too narrow-minded. Mary is recommending this book seriously. I have to say, it is really a suitable book for Karen.

Kallen was overjoyed: "Yeah~ sounds very interesting!"

Mary: "Yeah, it's very interesting. And it's also a story about punishing evil and rewarding good, so the plot is also very satisfying. The classic quote is 'Don't you see this kitchen knife?' As soon as this sentence appears and the cold light of the legendary all-purpose kitchen knife is seen, all the evildoers will kneel down and beg for mercy."

Kallen: "Quick, where is this book? I want to borrow it."

Mary: "It's on the second bookshelf from the left on the first floor. Look for it. It's easy to find."

After hearing this, Kallen immediately walked quickly towards the target.

Bobli also quickly shook Mary's hand and asked, "Oh, what about Bobli? What kind of book is suitable for Bobli?"

Mary: "Publi? Let me think... How about "Uncle is a Magician"? It's a love story about an ordinary girl who attends a ball at a castle and falls in love with a prince."

After hearing this, Pobley asked with interest: "Oh, is it the same story as Cinderella?"

Mary: "It's a little different. The heroine has an uncle who loves her and is actually a magician. He uses a lot of magic to help her dress up. I think this scene is quite exciting and must not be missed."

Bobli: "What is that? It sounds great! Bobli must see it! It turns out that there are so many books in the library. I always thought that the books in it were all those boring knowledge books, which always made me feel difficult to get into. It turns out that it can be so interesting!"

"As long as we look carefully, we will find interesting books. As long as we let Mary help us choose, we should be able to enjoy the fun of reading." At this time, Karen came over happily with the book she found.

Mary smiled and said, "Right? I always think that people who don't read much should come to the library because they are more likely to find books of interest than people who come here often."

Pobley asked anxiously, "Where is my book? Has anyone borrowed it?"

Mary: "No, no, it's on the same bookshelf as the book Karen is looking for. Go look for it!"

After hearing this, Pobli immediately walked over, and Kallen followed to help, saying, "Let me help you find it. The store has something that Ms. Lilia has ordered to be delivered today. I'll help you find the book quickly and then I'll go to your house..."

Mary: "They both seemed to be interested in the book I introduced. They seemed very happy..."

Lin Xia: "It is indeed a happy thing to have others agree with your preferences."

Mary: "This is all thanks to Lin Xia."

Ah? Lin Xia was shocked. This has nothing to do with me, right?

Mary smiled and said, "Because Lin Xia suddenly came to the library, people became interested in the books in the library!"

This. . . . . .

"Just like today, if I hadn't heard that Lin Xia asked me to help you choose books, I believe that Karen and Pobley would not have thought of asking me to help recommend books, so all this is Lin Xia's credit."

Lin Xia really didn't want to take the credit, so she could only find her original intention and said, "Well, Mary, now it's your turn to recommend a book to me!"

Mary immediately said embarrassedly: "Oh~ I almost forgot, it's my fault that I was too happy at the time. Lin Xia, what kind of book do you want to read? Is it about planting or breeding?"

"No, I want to read some books about the characteristics of marine life, their value and how to deal with them. Do you know if there are any?"

"Yes." Mary said confidently, "This book is also a technical book. It's on the first row of bookshelves on the second floor. Let me think about it. It seems to be on the fourth or fifth bookshelf from the right to the left."

"Okay, I'll go up and look for it myself. Thank you, Mary!"

“You’re welcome!”

Lin Xia climbed up to the second floor. As soon as she reached the first row of bookshelves, she found that there was another person on the second floor.

"Hey~ Dot, you are reading here too!"

"Hello, Lin Xia!" Dortmund explained meticulously, "The hospital is closed on Wednesdays. If it doesn't rain in the morning, I will go to the mountains to pick some herbs. In the afternoon, I usually come to the library to read. Only by continuous learning can we make progress in medicine."

"Oh, that's it. Then go read a book. I won't disturb you anymore!"

Dot shook his head and said, "It's okay. I've almost finished watching today and am ready to leave. I rarely see Lin Xia in the library. Did you encounter any problems? Are you coming to the library to find the answers?"

Lin Xia was puzzled: "How do you know?" Can't he just come to the library to have fun?

Dort smiled for the first time and said, "People who are familiar with libraries know that the books on the second floor are generally more professional books, and the leisure and entertainment books are on the first floor."

Thinking about the book that Mary had just recommended to Karen and Pobley, Lin Xia suddenly realized and said to Dot, "Yes, I caught a sea clam before, and there was a pearl inside, but I didn't know how to take it out, so I wanted to come to the library to learn from it."

"Are clams big?" Dortmund asked hastily.

"Uh~ Not small, right~" Lin Xia hesitated. After all, it was a clam that could break one's arm, so it wasn't small, right?
