Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

In the morning, Lin Xia was woken up by the cold!

Looking out the window, it’s all white, as if winter has arrived in an instant!

Lin Xia shivered and changed into winter cotton clothes, then lit the stove. After a while, the room finally became warm again.

Lin Xia stared blankly at the withered flowers in the vase on the bedside table, feeling a little disappointed. The flowers that were still bright and colorful yesterday have now become lifeless. She can only wait until next spring to continue to appreciate the beauty of flowers.

The weather was cold, so Lin Xia chose hot noodle soup for breakfast: a handful of thin noodles, half a bowl of broth, a cup of water, five cents of lard, a spoonful of soy sauce, and two crispy and crispy cabbages. The simple Yangchun noodles were ready!

This is enough for an ordinary girl, but for Lin Xia, it can only be regarded as an appetizer. Use the hot soup noodles to warm up the whole body, and then have a basket of crab roe soup dumplings, two slices of French toast with fried eggs, cheese, and meat floss. After her bacon is ready, add a few slices of bacon or smoked chicken, which is also very delicious!

But it’s fine like this for now, and finally I can have two big roasted sweet potatoes, which will make me extremely satisfied.

During breakfast, Lin Xia watched TV as usual to find out about tomorrow's weather. Today was Winter Day 1, and she also had to learn about the special days of this month.

"Tomorrow the weather will be sunny, but the temperature will be very low, so please keep warm. At the same time, some lakes are frozen over, so you can now go to places you couldn't go to before!" - Weather Forecast

“This month’s holidays include: 14th – Winter Solstice Thanksgiving Day, girls can give chocolates to boys they like.

24th - Starry Night Festival. Please make an appointment with your loved one a day in advance so that you can have the New Year’s Eve dinner together.

No. 30——Buckwheat rally, let’s all go to the square to participate in the buckwheat rally and get buckwheat flour!

30th - Watch the sunrise, go to the top of the mountain and watch the sunrise with everyone! " - News program

It seems that there are not many festivals this month. As a single person, Lin Xia can ignore the activities on the 14th and 24th. She can attend the gathering on the 30th, where she can get free buckwheat flour!

After having a hot breakfast, Lin Xia put on a scarf and a hat, took precautions against the cold, and went out.

"Huh~" It's so cold. All I can see is white. Looking around, the surroundings are all white, as if the whole world is covered with ice and snow. There is silence between heaven and earth. Except for the occasional sound of the wind, no other sound can be heard.

"Woof woof woof~" At this time, Ah Huang in the doghouse at the door ran towards Lin Xia happily; Bai Long also ran in the snow "click clack clack~", and when he saw Lin Xia, he also ran over. Well, the absence of sound was an illusion. Raising so many puppies by myself, it is destined that there will be no peace.

After feeding the two cubs pet snacks and brushing the white dragon's back, Lin Xia came to the five trees. The leaves of the wild grape trees and apple trees had all fallen off, leaving only bare branches covered with thick snow.

The three orange trees are growing normally. The branches are covered with white snow as usual, but you can still see the bright yellow oranges dotted among them, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Lin Xia's ranch can only plant 5 fruit trees at most. At that time, he thought that vegetables could not be planted in winter, and fruits were also a source of income, so he planted 3 orange trees. Now, he can pick more than a dozen oranges from the 3 trees every day, and there is no need to worry about empty windows.

After picking oranges and honey, Lin Xia inspected the animals again. Although the dwarfs were taking care of them, it was just the beginning of winter, so she still had to check on the situation!

Cows, sheep, and alpacas cannot be grazed outside in the winter because the grass is all covered with snow and the animals cannot graze on their own. They have to live inside the house throughout the winter, but the house is clean, warm, and still very comfortable.

No. 2 and No. 3 each have a mutton to give birth. After the lamb is born, the original mutton can be slaughtered; No. 4 6-star dairy cow has reached adulthood and needs artificial breeding to give birth to a 7-star; The 5-star beef cattle were bred on autumn 22nd and can give birth on the 13th. After giving birth, the beef cattle can also be slaughtered.

猪仔是秋26号生产了10头小猪，同一天经人工配种后怀孕，将在冬11号生产6星猪仔，而10头小猪则是会在冬10号可以出栏了。

In other words, at the latest before the 15th of winter, Lin Xia will be able to completely achieve freedom in eating pork, beef and mutton!

Finally, we come to the chicken and rabbit hut. The maximum number of breeding in the hut is 16. There are currently 2 Angora rabbits, 2 black chickens, 8 ordinary laying hens, and 2 useless roosters. The remaining two empty spaces are the pregnancy pens, which are reserved for rabbit pregnancy and egg hatching. Dazhuang does not occupy a breeding position.

Once the black chickens and roosters grow up, Lin Xia basically slaughters them and stores them in the refrigerator for later consumption. Through continuous breeding, the Angora rabbit has been cultivated to 9 stars. When No. 6 grows up and becomes pregnant again, it will be able to give birth to the highest level 10 stars.

As the level of Angora rabbits continues to increase, the quality and quantity of the rabbit hair they produce continues to increase, and their size has also increased compared to 5-star rabbits, but they are still smaller than ordinary wild rabbits.

After looking at the chickens and rabbits, Lin Xia told the dwarf Napi that except for the rabbits, the other chickens were grazed outside. As long as it was not raining or snowing, the chickens could actually find food outside.

After seeing all the animals, Lin Xia felt at ease and started to go to the back mountain. Although there was a little snow on the path leading to the back mountain, it did not hinder walking. One just had to be careful.

The weather forecast said that the lake was frozen, and some places that were previously inaccessible are now accessible. Doesn’t this mean that we can go to the lake mine?

But Lin Xia thought of something that was heartbreaking. Originally, the 2nd was the day when she could get gifts from Kappa and the goddess. Now the lake was frozen, and she couldn't send gifts to Kappa. This was a break! Heartbreaking!
