Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"Lin Xia, I heard that you have some questions about clothing. Is there anything I can help you with?" Karen finally ran out in a hurry at the urging of her father.

"Well, I'm a little undecided." Looking at Jeff, who was following behind Karin with his hands clasped together and desperately begging for help, Lin Xia could only say, "I want to choose two pairs of snow boots that are both warm and non-slip. Can you recommend two pairs for me?"

"No problem! Please follow me!" Karen immediately led Lin Xia to the winter clothing area.

"Are you going somewhere special? For our usual roads, ordinary shoes will do."

"Ah, I went to the lake mine today, and the ice on the lake was so slippery that it was difficult to walk!"

"Got it. I'll recommend you a pair of very suitable shoes. Don't worry."

As she spoke, Karen picked up a pair of black high-top snow boots. The surface was made of leather, the soles were very thick, and there were obvious anti-skid teeth marks: "This pair of boots is very waterproof, and the uppers are very high, all the way to the knees. Even if you walk in deep snow, you don’t have to worry about getting your pants wet. The anti-skid design of the soles is the best, and the inside of the shoes is very thick animal fur, which has an excellent warmth retention effect. You can try it!"

"Okay!" Lin Xia was also very satisfied with the style of this pair of boots. The whole shape is very cool! And the surface is smooth, which is also very convenient to clean!

"I like it very much. Please recommend me another pair. I want to have two pairs to wear alternately!"

"No problem. Look at this blue pair. They are lighter than the previous pair, but they are also non-slip and warm. They are mid-low tops, so they are suitable for daily wear and not tiring. They also look good with other clothes!"

Karin's taste was indeed amazing. Lin Xia fell in love with them at first sight and put both pairs into the shopping cart.

"Karen, your taste in clothing is really unmatched~" So, why not focus on cooking? Lin Xia couldn't help thinking.

"Hey, everyone says so, so I'm thinking, should I also subscribe to a store in the new commercial street and specialize in clothing business?"

"Really? It would be great if you could open a clothing store. It would definitely be very popular!"

"I've actually been a little worried, but after hearing what you said, Lin Xia, I suddenly feel confident!" Karen said with a smile, "Dad also said that if I open a store on my own, then the grocery store will no longer sell clothing, and all the goods will be moved to my own store.

And let me tell you, Grandma Ailian’s knitting skills are superb. I can even order some knitted clothing from her. I can provide the designs and she will be responsible for knitting. Selling them in my store will also be a feature. What do you think?”

"I think it's great!" Lin Xia exclaimed, "Can Grandma Ailian knit?"

"Your craftsmanship is amazing. By the way, this is your first year staying with us during the winter. Did you prepare socks at home?"

"Socks?" Is that what she was thinking about, the socks she wears on her feet every day?

"Is it the socks that Santa Claus gives gifts?" Lin Xia knew she didn't know from her expression. Karen said patiently, "When you have time, go find Grandma Ailian and give her a ball of yarn. She will help you knit a sock. Then hang it on the wall at home, and you will receive a Christmas present on Christmas Eve!"

"There is such a thing! Thank you for telling me!"

"You're welcome! Besides, I have something I want to ask Lin Xia for help with!"

"Just tell me what it is, as long as I can do it."

"Hehe, Lin Xia, I knew you were a kind-hearted person. It's like this. Since I want to open a clothing store, in addition to purchasing goods from outside and the knitwear from Grandma Karen, I also want to have some clothing with the characteristics of our Mineral Town. I heard that Lin Xia Ranch produces wool and rabbit wool, as well as some animal furs. I would like to ask you to save some for me, so that you can give me priority supply after my store opens. I want to use the wool and furs produced here to design and make various clothing for sale. Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course!" Lin Xia was so happy that she didn't expect that there would be business coming to her door. Wool was not a big deal, but the key was those furs. Lin Xia had accumulated a lot of them and didn't know what to do with them. As a result, she found a pillow when she was sleepy. It was great.

Kallen was also very happy: "Thank you so much!"

"What's the big deal? We're mutually beneficial! Oh, and I also want to pick out two pairs of goggles. You know everything is white in winter, and I'm afraid of snow blindness!"

"No problem, come here and buy!"

With the help of Karen, Lin Xia quickly chose her glasses. In addition to snow boots and glasses, since she was going on a long trip soon, Lin Xia also bought several sets of winter clothes with the help of Karen, some of which were convenient for travel and some were suitable for meeting guests.

When I was checking out, the rice that I had asked Jeff to order earlier also arrived, so I could take it away with the money.

After leaving the grocery store, he turned around and went to the hospital next door to find Dot.

"You came at the right time. The Lingzhi has been prepared for you. You can take it back. According to your dietary habits, a reasonable combination can achieve effective health care effects."

"Thanks, Dot. By the way, this is the hedgehog I caught yesterday. I think you wanted it, right?"

"Yes, if you catch them next time, keep sending them to me. I'll take them all."

"Okay." As long as the price is right, everything will be fine! Lin Xia thought happily, "By the way, please apply for more anesthetics for me! There are only two small bottles, which are not enough! I have to go on a long trip soon, so I have to protect myself!"

"Okay, I remember that the butterflies and flowers you provided me last time are still a little short of results, but the main hospital attaches great importance to it. I also reported your situation to them, and they are relieved. They think you are an important partner of our hospital's R&D center, so they will give you the largest amount of anesthetics for self-protection. Don't worry! When the results of the butterfly research come out, the main hospital will send the expenses and the approved anesthetics together."

"How long will it take? Gray asked me to leave for Stardew Valley on Tuesday. If I can get it before then, I'll have an extra layer of protection!"

"I will report this situation to the higher-ups and arrange it as soon as possible, don't worry!"

Lin Xia once again left the hospital with satisfaction, taking Hedgehog's settlement payment of 2G. Looking at the time, it was time for lunch, and she had to go to a few places soon. So she would not go home for lunch, but go to Dart's house for a meal!
