Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"Ignore Fruit - After eating it, people or animals around you will ignore your existence. The validity period is 24 hours."

This is the explanation for the white fruit. After looking at the fruit, Lin Xia thought that this must be a must-have item for home travel, robbery and theft!

I immediately put it into my space and put it together with the lucky fruit I got before. This is a very interesting thing! Don’t say it, although Kappa doesn’t look good, doesn’t talk much, and has almost no emotional intelligence, the gifts he returns every time are really good!

It is also reasonable to suspect that there are many strange trees planted where Kappa grows, which always give fruits with various functions. I really look forward to what fruits Kappa can give me after the next 10 gifts.

He went down the mountain happily and went home. On the way, he met Brandon who went up the mountain to collect folk songs. After a brief greeting, Lin Xia returned home in a hurry, took the ore and went to the forge first.

Today the livestock processing machine (including the side dish processing machine) has been manufactured, and the next processing machine can be commissioned. This time Lin Xia chose the crop processing machine and directly upgraded it to the side dish processing machine. The required ore and price are the same as the last livestock processing machine, which is 4 diamonds + 6G. However, the production time has been shortened, from the original 8 days to 5 days, and now only Saibala can make it.

As for Gray who did not join, Cebala complained: "Hey, the child is grown up now, and has his own ideas and future plans. Although I think he can completely inherit my production direction, he is an adult who has practiced outside after all, and I respect his ideas. In fact, I have no objection to him making jewelry. He can do it in his spare time or when he has no work. Why must he immerse himself in it? After all, few people use jewelry, while many people use various processing machines, farm tools, etc...."

Lin Xia could only comfort him, "Now we have your father in charge of the processing machines and farm tools. With you here, there is basically no room for him to play. Besides, if other people come to us, they will definitely recognize your golden signboard more."

Saibala raised the corner of his mouth: "That's true~"

Lin Xia: "So, as your grandson, he must want to achieve greater success, but in this area, it will probably take decades for him to surpass you. So if he finds another way and works hard on the areas that you don't value, it will definitely be easier for him to produce results, and this will also make you proud of him faster~"

Saibala: "Haha~Is that so? Now that you put it that way, I understand a little. Well, it's good for young people to try their luck~ This kid has some comprehension and potential. With more training, he will definitely be good. After all, he is my grandson~"

After talking with Sabara, Lin Xia was about to leave when Gray appeared out of nowhere and dragged her away.

Coming to a workshop that was not too big but had all the necessary tools, Gray thanked Lin Xia with a smile, "Thank you for speaking for me. You know my grandfather. He can listen to others more or less, but when I speak, his first reaction is always to refute. Alas~"

Lin Xia waved her hand: "Nothing, no need to thank me! By the way, do you have any new works recently?"

Gray was even happier when he heard this: "Thanks to the drawings you drew for me last time, it gave me a lot of inspiration. Look, I made these little things recently."

As he spoke, Gray took out a bracelet, a ring, and a pair of earrings.

Finally, no more monotonous brooches, necklaces and earrings from Mineral Town.

Lin Xia looked at them carefully and found that these three pieces of jewelry were not very heavy. Instead, they exuded a clever and lively temperament. They were very suitable for young girls to wear, especially as daily accessories. They would not give people a solemn feeling, but instead had a finishing touch effect.

Lin Xia gave him a thumbs up, and Gray smiled happily: "Lin Xia, these are all inspired by you, please choose one from them!"

Lin Xia didn't hesitate and chose a bracelet, but not a ring. As an ornament with special meaning, she couldn't just accept it as a gift from others. As for the earrings, Lin Xia had other ideas.

"Gray, I want to customize some jewelry from you. I will provide some raw materials and you can help me design it!"

Gray's eyes sparkled with surprise, and he couldn't speak clearly: "Okay, okay, thank you, Lin Xia, thank you for believing in and recognizing me, I will design it well, just tell me what kind of jewelry you want to make!"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "Don't get excited, Gray. With your craftsmanship and outstanding creativity, many people will come to you to buy jewelry in the future. Well, I want to customize two pairs of earrings, one pair inlaid with pearls, and one pair carved into small rose shapes with gold; then a ring, it doesn't have to be big, the ring band still needs to be thin, and then the ring face is carved into a small peony shape with mithril, retaining the light blue color of the mithril ore, and as for the other parts of the ring, you can design it as you think it looks good~"

"Everything else is fine, but what kind of flower is a peony? Are there any pictures? I have never seen this kind of flower!" Gray said distressedly.

Lin Xia had no choice but to draw a few peony flowers for him to refer to based on her memory, and emphasized again: "The ring and earrings don't need to be big, they have to be small, small ones can look delicate and cute!"

Gray said he understood and measured the circumference of Lin Xia's fingers. Then they made an appointment that if the design was ready, he would ask Lin Xia to come over to select and confirm it, and then they would determine the required materials and processing fees, etc.

"Also, make me three more pendants, all made of gold. One in the shape of my Ah Huang, one in the shape of my Da Zhuang, and one in the shape of my Bai Long. The lanyards should be made of strong black leather ropes. They will all be hung around their necks. You can measure the sizes on site when you are free!"

Gray was puzzled. "You seem to have a special liking for gold? Have you ever considered the Orichalcum ore that we often use here? This ore is particularly suitable for making jewelry. It has good hardness and glossiness! Gold is a bit too soft."

Lin Xia knew that Gray would not be able to understand her love for gold and silver jewelry. Maybe in the future she would choose other mineral materials to make jewelry, but now, Lin Xia still wanted to own the gold and silver jewelry that she was most familiar with. Looking at the familiar materials could also bring herself some secret comfort!

"Please help me do this first. I will consider other ores in the future. You can also study it and see if you can combine several good-looking ores or ores of different materials into a design. Maybe there will be unexpected effects!"

Lin Xia was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Gray, what are you going to do with the two remaining ornaments?"

Gray was puzzled: "Ah~ Just put it on the counter. If anyone likes it, they can ask me to make it!"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "Hey, these are the first products you made. They are very memorable. I think you can give them to someone who means something to you~"

After hearing this, Gray suddenly thought of something, his face turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Xia ignored him and ran away with a wicked smile.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Lin Xia did not waste any more time and quickly ran to the cattle and sheep ranch to find Muchi to select breeding pigs. Muchi also took Lin Xia to see several breeding pigs in person. After looking for a long time, Lin Xia finally chose a black one, thinking of trying a pure-colored black mountain boar first.

Mu Qi told Lin Xia that he would bring black pigs to Lin Xia’s pigpen today to breed them. She didn’t need to worry, Lin Xia just had to pay. The service was really amazing!

After finishing the most important thing of the day, Lin Xia felt relieved. It was only 10: in the morning, so she went to the back of the church to see if there were any more mushrooms.

After going there, they found that maybe they had picked too many mushrooms last time, so they only found a few poisonous mushrooms and a few clusters of common straw mushrooms. There were no matsutake mushrooms. Lin Xia was also open-minded. After leaving the church, she turned into the hospital.

The Panax notoginseng I picked before is still in the space and I haven’t given it to Dotte yet. The last time I came, I was only busy selling clams and didn’t think about it. This time, I might as well sell the poisonous mushrooms I have accumulated during this period to the hospital.
