Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Brandon: "How about this, I'll pay you 200 million G to make up for your loss?"

Lin Xia:! ! !

"Since it can bring you creative inspiration, I must support it!" What's the point of having a precious gift? She can still find more. Two million~ Haha, I wonder if he wants more? This is a real rich man!

"Is one tree enough? Don't worry if you need others. As long as it can contribute to your creative inspiration, I can make some sacrifices. Everything is for art~"

Brandon was a little touched. Although Lin Xia had no talent in art appreciation, she was still very motivated. He immediately waved his hand and said, "No need. I feel embarrassed for robbing you of your beloved thing. How can I be greedy? Besides, all art is interconnected. I have this one, so I can imagine the others~"

Oh~ It looks like it’s a one-time deal!

Lin Xia was a little disappointed, but it was worth it to sell one tree for 200 million: "Which one do you want? Pick one!"

Brandon was not polite and immediately picked one that suited his taste. Lin Xia took a look and found that it was not the largest nor the smallest among the four, but it was the one with the richest colors among them - so you are such an artist who likes colorful things!

Lin Xia was thinking about it in her mind but said nothing. She knew that customers are God. She wanted to give others a good shopping experience so that they would come back for purchases!

By the way, I don’t know if those two big clams have inspired Brandon’s creativity, so Lin Xia took out the clams again and showed them to everyone. Everyone’s expectant eyes were focused on Brandon, but Brandon just glanced at it twice and continued to admire the coral he had chosen. It seemed that he was not very interested in the clam.

Harris and Gotz were amazed, saying that it was rare to see such large clams, but only such large clams could produce such top-quality black pearls!

Well, these two people still care more about black pearls!

After Lin Xia accepted Brandon's 200 million, he settled the relevant production costs with Goetz:

4 bases cost 5000G each, 1 antique shelf costs 8G, 3 independent display racks cost 1G each, and 2 hangers cost 2000G each, totaling G. The main reason for the high cost is the wood. Lin Xia asked Gotz to provide her with the right wood. Anyway, she made a fortune unexpectedly today.

However, Lin Xia secretly decided that next time he went to the forest, he could cut down some good wood and collect it. That way, when he asked Gotz to make something for him, he would only have to pay the processing fee and it would be much cheaper.

As for the care of the coral tree, Gotz helped for free. Lin Xia can come and pick it up after 3 days.

After discussing these things, the afternoon tea came to an end. Lin Xia also asked a few people whether they would go to the Harvest Festival tomorrow.

Harris: "Of course I went. There were so many people that day, and as the only policeman in the town, I had to ensure everyone's safety..."

Gotz: "It's an annual festival in Mineral Town where everyone eats delicious food together. Even someone like me who doesn't have any cooking skills must go. I like the feeling of eating together~"

Brandon: "I won't go. I'm not used to eating with so many people. Besides, I have a new idea. I need to concentrate on my creation tomorrow~"

Lin Xia didn't care much about Brandon's absence. It was her first time participating in the event and she didn't know what the big pot meal would look like. She hoped it wouldn't be a weird dish.

After afternoon tea, Lin Xia helped everyone clean up the table. She temporarily placed the coral tree and black pearls with Gotz so that he could make a base of the right size. Then she put on her raincoat and left the lumberjack's house. She still had to go to the beach!

Lin Xia trotted all the way to Zack's house before 4 o'clock. Zack didn't go out at this moment and seemed to be talking to Huo An.

"Hey~ Lin Xia is here!" Zack always greeted people enthusiastically, while Huo An looked lazy and did not put customers first as usual.

After Lin Xia responded to Zach, she looked at Huo An and asked with concern: "Brother Huo, what's wrong with you today? You look so lost, are you heartbroken?"

"Cough cough~" Zack was choked and coughed violently.

Huo An finally regained his former spirit and rolled his eyes at Lin Xia: "How could I, such a charming and promising businessman, be heartbroken? There may be no one in this world who can make me heartbroken!"

"Cough cough~" Zack coughed violently again.

Lin Xia: "So you want to be the old cow eating young grass? What a great ambition, I admire you~ I'm sorry~"

Huo An was speechless, and Lin Xia felt very proud.

Huo An said unhappily: "Why are you here? We won't make dinner today, we're losing weight!"

Zach: . . . . .

Lin Xia: ... You've become as thin as a bolt of lightning, and you're still trying to lose weight? If you don't want to treat me, just say so. I don't want to eat for free at your place~

"Brother, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Whether it's appropriate or not, I don't want to listen." Huo An probably knew that Lin Xia had nothing good to say, so he was completely annoyed.

But will Lin Xia agree?

"Hey~ Good advice is always unpleasant to the ear, but I still want to say it, brother, as you get older, you should pay more attention to your health and eat a proper diet. Health is the most important thing. Don't follow the trend of young people. Losing weight is not suitable for you, huh?"

Huo An gritted his teeth in anger: "Are you here for something or not?" If not, get out of here quickly!

"Hehe~" Lin Xia came forward and said with a smile, "Brother, I found something good and came over to let you taste it right away, didn't I?"

"Oh~" Huo An immediately smiled and said, "Good sister, what good stuff is this? Brother will show you the selection. Take it out quickly, quickly~"

"Okay~" Lin Xia immediately took out the "mysterious stone slab" that had just been unearthed in the morning from the space and handed it to Huo An. Huo An took it and began to look at it carefully.

Zack stopped coughing at this time, probably because he was used to the way these two people got along. He poured Lin Xia a cup of hot tea and reminded her to take off her wet raincoat as it was uncomfortable to wear.

Lin Xia accepted Zack's kindness, took off her raincoat, picked up the hot tea and took a sip. It must be said that the chill brought by the autumn rain was quite strong, and drinking a cup of hot tea was really comfortable!

"Sister, can you sell me this slate?"

Lin Xia didn't keep it a secret: "Okay, I brought it here to sell it to you, what's your price?"

"7 million!"

Lin Xia was shocked, but remained calm: "Brother, give me a fair price~"

Huo An: "That's very conscientious. To be honest with you, sister, the recipe on this slate is actually nothing special. After all, ketchup is not a secret recipe. It's just that your slate looks a bit old. If you can find a buyer who likes it, it can be worth some money..."

"I vaguely heard Goetz say that the new artist seems to be quite interested in sculptures. How about, brother, don't worry, I'll take it to him to see if he is interested?" Lin Xia said leisurely, secretly glancing at Huo An at the same time.

As expected, Huo An's expression was visibly tense, and he tried to relax as much as possible and said, "Hey~ Those artists are only interested in abstract inspirations, how can they understand these things that are old? I took a closer look, sister, your stone slab is quite old, and the price should be raised to 8, what do you think?"

Lin Xia actually didn't hold out much hope for the stone slab. It was beyond her expectation that Huo An could offer 7. She wanted to trick him again just to prevent him from pressing too hard.

"Brother, you know, I spent a lot of effort to get this stone slab. Do you know where I dug it? It's on the 255th floor of the spring mine! Do you know the bottom floor?"

Lin Xia began to complain: "The 255th floor is the last floor of the mine, and it is also the largest floor in the entire spring mine. There are so many rocks there. I have to smash them all first, and then dig the entire mine. Not to mention the hard work, the physical strength consumed, just drinking potions to replenish physical strength and eliminate fatigue cost me more than or ! You have to let me recover some blood~"

The veins on Huo An's forehead were throbbing and his mouth began to tremble. This girl has such a cruel heart!
