Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Chapter 233 Planting Strawberries

All the ores and black grass were stored, and 100 servings of the remaining curry udon noodles were placed in the refrigerator. Only 20 servings of leftovers and other remaining dishes were temporarily placed in the space so that they can be eaten tomorrow.

Seeing the Xirang that the goddess had just given her in the space, Lin Xia didn't know what the difference was between the crops grown in this Xirang and those grown in ordinary soil. She only knew that it could be grown in any season. She suddenly remembered that strawberries were still missing from the blended juice, so why not use Xirang to try out the effect first.

Moreover, even if the seedlings of the mihu tree are to be transplanted, it would have to wait until tomorrow daytime. Moreover, Lin Xia wanted to consult Bakir before transplanting to see if transplanting the seedlings would cause any harm to the mihu tree!

However, strawberries have a lot of seeds, so they are perfect for experiments!

So he opened the toolbox behind the door and took out a bag of strawberry seeds. The land area of ​​the Xirang space is currently only one square meter, not an inch more, and Lin Xia can only enter with his mind.

She tried to control the strawberry seeds with her mind and spread them in the soil. She planted eight seeds in total. She left a small area in the middle. If the seedlings could be transplanted tomorrow, she would plant them in this area.

The sowing went surprisingly smoothly, and then the kettle was controlled to sprinkle water, which was completed in a flash. Moreover, according to Lin Xia's ideas, the water in the kettle immediately sprinkled the fields he wanted to irrigate. This is much more labor-saving than farming on the ranch!

If the Xirang space absorbs enough energy in the future and expands the planting area, farming will be such an easy thing!

After happily imagining the future, Lin Xia went to confirm the planting cycle of strawberries with great enthusiasm. Strawberries will germinate after 3 days, bear fruit after another 3 days, and mature after 2 days. After the first picking, they will mature every two days. After 8 days, she can eat fresh strawberries!

After confirmation, Lin Xia just needs to remember to water the strawberries every day.

After finishing the strawberries, Lin Xia finally went into the bathroom to wash up with peace of mind. After coming out, she started to eat her late dinner.

Lin Xia always watches TV during meal time. Tomorrow's weather is not very good. There will be snow, but not heavy. I heard from the residents in the town that if there is a blizzard, you can't even go out!

After finishing breakfast, Lin Xia began to study the six cursed farm tools to see how they could be transformed into blessed farm tools.

Cursed Scythe: If you equip it for 5 consecutive days, it will be transformed into a Blessed Scythe. You cannot use any other tools during the wearing period. You can go to the church and ask the priest to lift the curse and then remove it. Once removed, the number of days you have equipped it will be reset to zero.

Cursed Hammer: If you equip it for 5 consecutive days, it will be transformed into a blessed hammer. You cannot use any other tools during the wearing period. You can go to the church and ask the priest to lift the curse and then remove it. Once removed, the number of days you have equipped it will be reset to zero.

Cursed Hoe: Go to the church and ask the priest to remove the curse 5 times in a row to turn it into a Blessed Hoe.

Cursed Kettle: Go to the church and ask the priest to remove the curse 5 times in a row to turn it into a blessed kettle.

Cursed Axe: After equipping it and using it 50 times cumulatively, it can be transformed into a blessed axe. If you ask a priest to remove the curse and then remove it, the number of uses will be reset to zero once it is removed.

Cursed Fishing Rod: After equipping it and using it 50 times cumulatively, it can be transformed into a Blessed Fishing Rod. If you ask a priest to lift the curse before removing it, the number of uses will be reset to zero once it is removed.

Through comprehensive comparison, it can be seen that the cursed hoe and kettle are the easiest to turn into blessed farm tools, as long as you spend money.

The cursed axe and fishing rod are not difficult to obtain. You just need to prepare food or potions to replenish your physical strength and promptly recover the physical strength consumed by the cursed tools. In short, you just need to be willing to spend money.

The most troublesome thing is the cursed sickle and hammer. Both of them need to be equipped for 5 consecutive days, which means that you can't do anything that requires the use of tools in these 10 days. It seems that I have to wait until I come back to make a long-term plan! I also have to think carefully about what I can do in these 10 days without using tools!

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xia went to bed!

The next morning, snowflakes were floating outside. As soon as Lin Xia got up, she didn't rush to wash up. She first thought about watering the strawberries in the Xirang space. As a result, as soon as she sank into her mind, she was shocked by the scene inside -

The 8 strawberry plants inside have grown very strong, and each of them is full of red strawberry fruits. In just one night, the strawberries that would have taken 8 days to bear fruit have grown?

The plants in this Xirang space are growing too fast, and Lin Xia only watered them once yesterday. Does that mean that the plants in the Xirang space don't need watering? Although thinking this way, Lin Xia immediately harvested all the ripe strawberries.

But this time, she did not water them again, and made up her mind to come in every hour to observe the growth of the strawberries to see how much faster the speed inside was than outside.

From the eight strawberry plants, we harvested nearly 8 kilograms of strawberries. Each strawberry was very big, about the size of a baby's fist, and we could harvest 20-10 strawberries from each plant. It was a great harvest! The quality was also very good. Lin Xia tasted it and found it sweet with a hint of sourness. The rich strawberry aroma was simply irresistible.

I received an email from Gray in my mailbox informing me that the boat ticket has been purchased and will depart at 11 am tomorrow. I am expected to arrive in Stardew Valley the day after tomorrow morning, and then take a bus to Pelican Town, arriving around the afternoon.

Gray asked Lin Xia to pack her luggage. They would probably be staying in Stardew Valley for several days, so it would be better to be well prepared so that it would not be inconvenient when the time comes.

After Lin Xia had breakfast and went out, she told the dwarfs about the care of the animals at the back. The dwarfs told Lin Xia to relax as they were already very skilled.

Then after going to the back mountain to give the goddess a gift, I went to Gotz's house. The charcoal that was commissioned yesterday had been processed.

"I haven't made so much charcoal in years. In previous years, only Dart would order some from me. Lin Xia, are you going to smoke a lot of meat this year?"

"Hmm~ It should be quite a lot. I also want to try different charcoals. What are the differences in the taste of the smoked meat?"

"Hehe, although there are a variety of fruit trees, hardwoods, and softwoods in the back mountain of our Mineral Town, the quantity is not large and they are scattered. It's not easy for you to find these woods, right?"

"It's not easy. I went through a lot of forests before I found these!" Lin Xia also felt the same way.

"Aren't you going to Stardew Valley with Gray? Although the types of wood there are not as complete as here, there are a lot of hardwoods, which can be said to be everywhere, especially oak and pine. There is also a very good wood called mahogany. Although this tree is not as common as the first two, it is a very good wood. If you have the chance to find it, remember to bring more back. I will buy it!"

"no problem!"
