Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After dinner, Lin Xia brought onion seeds and scattered them again on the onion field that had already been harvested.

This time, four-fifths of the onions from the 10 acres of land were used for shipment, with a minimum income of 5760G. 18 grids of onions can be retained, and the number of onions in each grid is the same as that of radishes in spring, which is 10, about 5 kilograms. In this way, 180 onions can be retained for cooking each time.

After planting the onions, Lin Xia took the ore and prepared to find Sepala to upgrade his bow and arrow, but the door was closed. Then he remembered that today was the last day for Sepala to upgrade his axe, and the axe could only be upgraded tomorrow. Well, let's go find him tomorrow.

Hey, I originally wanted to show Sabala the wild boar I killed. What a memorable moment!

Although he was thinking about all sorts of things, he walked to Zack's cabin to find Huo An without hesitation.

"Hey~Brother Huo, look what good stuff I hunted?" Lin Xia looked proud.

Huo An and Zach were very curious and asked excitedly: "What good stuff is it?"

"Look!" Lin Xia took the wild boar out of the backpack and threw it on the floor. "How is it? Is it big?"

Huo An and Zach...

Looking at the miserable dead pig in front of him, it felt like he was seeing the pheasant that Lin Xia brought for the first time again.

No, no, this dead pig is much more miserable than the pheasant. It has holes all over its body. Except for its head and tail, there is no place without holes. And you can see that the wounds are jagged due to violent pulling.

Huo An once again witnessed how fierce this girl is!

"This pig~you want to sell it to me?" Huo An asked cautiously.

"Yes, but that depends on how sincere your offer is. After all, you cheated me last time. Dotte gave me 5G for the bamboo rat!" Lin Xia looked down on Huo An on the surface, but did not mention that if he sent it again in the future, Dotte would give the same price as Huo An.

Huo An's face turned red. "I've already given you the market price. Okay, okay, next time you send it over, I'll definitely give you a higher price, okay?"

Lin Xia said disdainfully: "Don't talk about next time. Bamboo rats are so precious. It's not easy to come across them. If you want to show your sincerity, just do it this time, right?"

He nodded at the wild boar on the ground and said, "What do you think is the price for this pig?"

Huo An stepped forward and looked at you from all angles, then said in embarrassment, "Lin Xia, it's not that I don't have sincerity, it's just that you look so miserable! You're worthless, how can you ask me to bid for you?

Let me tell you, if you send me this pig alive and kicking, I can offer you 6G; if it is dead, but there are no extra scars on the skin, and at most only one fatal wound that does not destroy the whole body, I can also offer you 4G. After all, it is big, and the pig skin is still very valuable.

But, look at this thing on the ground now, what else can it be used for besides not delaying eating?"

"Ah?" Lin Xia was dumbfounded. "According to what you said, if I want to make money from hunting in the future, I have to ensure the integrity of the fur?"

"Of course!" This time it was Huo An who looked down on him. "You don't understand anything. Why are prey animals valuable? Do you think it's because of the meat? Is that immortal meat? Can you attain enlightenment by eating it?

The reason why prey is valuable is basically the added value it can generate! What about velvet antlers, deer horns, deer penises; what about tiger skins, tiger bones, tiger tendons, tiger gallbladders; what about ivory, rhino horns...

In short, a living thing is definitely more valuable than a dead thing, and a whole thing is more valuable than a broken thing, understand?"

Lin Xia was now completely depressed. It turned out that the wild boar that he had hunted with great difficulty was useless except for eating?

"How much can this pork sell for?"

"Hmm~" Huo An rubbed his chin and thought, "If this were in a flower-growing country, I could sell more, because people there like to eat pork. Although wild boar meat is not as good as domestic pork, it has a different flavor.

But in the Mineral Town, people here basically don't eat meat except fish. What's more, wild boar meat is not easy to cook. If you want to cook it deliciously, you have to add a lot of spices, so no one will buy it.

There are people in the city across the sea who can cook meat, but your pig has been dead for a while. If you take it across the ocean and sell it, I suspect it will go bad. Well, you can't do this business, you can't do it, the risk is too great!"

After saying this, he shook his head repeatedly.

Lin Xia's heart sank. It seemed that if she really couldn't sell it, she could only store it in her refrigerator first. When she had a meat processor in the future, she could process the pork. If not, she could make sausages or pickle bacon! The taste was not important, and it would not affect the eating.

After thinking it over, Lin Xia felt more confident and directly picked up the wild boar on the ground.

Looking at the floor soiled by the dead pig, Lin Xia said to Zach embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Zach, I made your floor dirty. Do you have a mop? I'll clean it for you!"

Zach said good-naturedly, "It's okay, I'll do it! You must have had a hard time today. It took so much effort to kill such a big pig. It's amazing!"

Although Zack said so, Lin Xia couldn't do it, so she still went with Zack to fetch water and clean up.

"You don't know, I also wanted to bring back a live pig, but I couldn't carry a wild boar! You can't put a living animal directly into a backpack, you can only put it in a dead one, so I had to kill it.

I don't want to poke so many holes in the wild boar. Do you think I'm a cruel person? I really want to kill it, but my bow and arrow are only basic, the lethality is negligible, and I only have 10 arrows. After shooting, I have to pull them out of the pig and use them again. How miserable do you think I am?"

Huo An and Zach: ... So that's how those horrific holes were caused. I don't know whether I should sympathize with Lin Xia, or with the wild boar that died after being tortured.

The two of them remained silent at the same time.

"Why can't this live animal be put into a backpack? It's so infuriating!" Lin Xia complained incessantly.

"There is a kind of hunting bag that can hold live animals." Huo An suddenly said.

"What?" Lin Xia doubted her ears. "Are you serious? Where can I get it?"

Huo An rolled his eyes: "How would I know that? But I know there is one. In the past, there were many hunters who went out to catch prey. Some prey were completely worthless if they died, so they could only be caught alive, so someone invented the trap bag.

As long as the beast loses its fighting consciousness, it can be put into the trap bag, which can also provide the beast with the necessary food and air to ensure that it will not starve to death or suffocate. "

"It's so magical!" Lin Xia exclaimed!

"In fact, today's backpacks still retain some functions. For example, you can put the fish you catch into the backpack and take it out alive. But for other animals, I don't know why this doesn't work. Maybe Blue Bell Village has this kind of storage bag. After all, they mainly raise livestock there. What if it's inconvenient to carry animals?"

"What you said makes sense, Huo An!" Lin Xia praised him highly.

Huo An frowned: "Brother, whatever you say makes sense, okay?"

"Hey~ I told you you're fat, but you're still out of breath. Okay, I'm leaving. By the way, can you kill this wild boar?" Lin Xia was not giving up and still wanted to ask Huo An if he could kill the pig and get the meat.

Huo An was unhappy: "I am a businessman, doing elegant things. How can such rude things suit me? Get out of the way, I'm busy!"

Lin Xia was also upset. What are you busy for? This is a small shop. Apart from myself who comes to shop every now and then, I have never seen anyone else come here.
