"Uh-huh……"
ψ(￣～￣)Chew!
Because a certain group of poor bees on a certain apple tree needed to calm down for a while first, Annie did nothing today, nor did she stay on her farm, let alone try to manage the pasture. In the large and messy fields inside, I wandered around alone in this small ore town. I also met many people in the ore town and successfully found a shop selling delicious food.
That's right, that's a bar owned by an uncle named Dart. They sell food during the day and drinks at night. They mainly deal in drinks, so that people in Ore Town can find a place to relax when they are tired. You can have a drink here, but when you meet someone like Little Annie, there are also a variety of delicacies, juices, etc., which are not in the narrow sense, like those in some cities that are specially provided for some weird rice and glutinous rice. Bad sisters go to the place where ghosts cry and howl like lunatics.
Anyway, when little Annie saw from the business sign in front of the bar that the business hours written on it were from 8 o'clock in the morning to 21 o'clock in the evening, she naturally rushed in as soon as possible and quickly Unexpectedly, I got a warm welcome from the owner of this shop, 'Dart', and his daughter, 'Lin', a lively and outgoing girl who likes to eat just like Annie, and an opportunity to entertain her for free.
"Ha! It's delicious! Your cooking skills are really good~!"
ψ(｀∇´)ψ
"Please give me another delicious meal and an apple pie! Thank you!"
(,,•؎•̀,,)
I don’t know if it’s because the other person’s craftsmanship is really good, or because the ingredients the other person uses to make food are excellent, or because there’s something unique about this world? All in all, Annie was very satisfied with the meal. After patting her bloated belly, she felt that she was only about 80% full, so she urged her again.
but……
By this time, Annie had eaten three portions of Dart's signature set meals, two salads made of fresh vegetables and fruits, a large portion of apple pie, two large pieces of cheesecake, and a plate of cookies. After being unsatisfied and wanting to continue eating and drinking for free, the Darts and his daughter, who wanted to treat her to death, finally couldn't resist.
"Annie..."
"It's already getting late. Look, it's already past eleven o'clock. It's almost noon. Don't you need to go back to the ranch to work? Today is your first day to take over the farm. Please be sure to Just work hard and don’t let everyone underestimate you!”
"or……"
"I'll just stay here for today. Can you come back to eat some other time?"
Lin looked at the little girl in front of her who had eaten all over the table and had plates all over the place. She still didn't want to leave. She seemed to want to take advantage of the opportunity to have a free meal. Lin was a little scared at first. After stroking the cold sweat on his forehead, he walked to the other party's side, bit the bullet and softly persuaded him with reserved and slightly shy words.
To be honest, Lin and her father Dart never thought that such an inconspicuous little guy would be better than the deliveryman in their Ore Town, the one who was known as the most delicious. The big-bellied and big-bodied Zach wants something more edible?
If they had known this earlier, they would definitely not have invited each other to have a free meal!
Well now, look, the other party has already eaten more than 3,000 G of food from their family, and her father, Dut, has a black face and looks stinky... In fact, let alone her right now Lin herself felt that she was a father, and it seemed that her face might be a little ugly?
Anyway, she had just calculated an account secretly. Excluding the cost of service and manual work, the other party's meal today had almost eaten up at least more than two thousand G worth of materials in their family. In this Ore Town, that is equivalent to They have almost two or three days of operating expenses!
Therefore, this matter really can't continue like this... Their store, a small business with low profits, really can't afford to entertain the little guy in front of him who is so good at eating! Think about it, they only have such a small number of people in this mineral town. Even if they include the occasional tourists from the city, they can earn an average of several hundred G a day in net income, which is pretty good. How can they stand up to the other party? Are you going to keep struggling like this?
"Eh?"
∑(´△｀)? !
"But, I don't need to work today...Uncle Zach just provoked the bees in my pasture in the morning, and now they are wandering around in the pasture angrily. I don't dare to go back to work now, otherwise I will You’ll definitely get stung all over your head like Uncle Zach!”
♪٩(´ᵕ｀๑)۶⁾⁾
"Tibbers, don't you think so?"
(„ಡωಡ„) Hehe...
After slapping down a certain deliveryman who had encountered an unreasonable disaster, little Annie glanced at her little local dog Tibbers who was lying at her feet, looking a little listless, and asked.
Obviously, it is impossible to do work. She, Queen Anne, can only eat, drink, have fun and burn people with fireballs. When have you ever seen her do serious work? So, if some bad-nosed Mayor Thomas thought that by leaving the farm to her, he would be able to eat the delicious produce from the Ore Town Ranch again, they were really wrong!
'Woof~! '
ε=(´㉨｀●)))Alas
Apparently, a certain 'Tibbers' who was forcibly transformed into a dog looked a little listless. He just barked casually and wagged his tail and then stopped moving. It seemed that he was not willing to pay attention to it. The little master who is eating alone?
"Ah...ha..."
"So that's what it is?"
"I just said, why didn't I see Dut come today? He is usually very punctual and regular. So that's what happened..."
She smiled reluctantly, and then exchanged careful glances with her father, Dart, who was staying behind the counter with a stern face. Lin then approached little Annie again and spoke nervously. asked:
"But Annie..."
"I saw that you seemed to have eaten a lot just now, several times as much as I usually eat! You should be almost full now, right? I think you can go somewhere else to have fun first, and at the same time have a good time Want to get familiar with our mineral town?"
"You are going to live here from now on. It would be very rude if you don't say hello to everyone!"
Seeing that her plan failed, Lin quickly hatched another plan in her mind.
Anyway, she was determined to deceive the little guy in front of her no matter what! Then, from now on, she would never come up with the bad idea of entertaining anyone for free... Just look at the results of this little guy in front of her. Lin could already imagine the table full of plates. After closing the business in the evening, she would definitely be scolded by her father, Dart.
She was really crazy just now. How could she suddenly come up with something and say that she would entertain the other party for free?
"There's no need to go!"
(｡◝‿◜｡)
"Before I came to your store, I had already visited the entire Kuangshi Town, including Grandpa Saibala's forge, Uncle Dick's vineyard, Sister Mary's library, and Caballero. I’ve been to Sister Lian’s grocery store, the hospital where Sister Ellie works, the church in the north, and the pier in the east, and I’ve met a lot of people!”
(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
"And I'm not full yet, so I should be able to eat almost the same amount of food as before!"
ψ(｀∇´)ψ
That's right, Annie said that she has already met most of the people in Ore Town, and it doesn't matter those who haven't met yet, she doesn't care what those guys think of her, so...she thinks , is it more important to stay here and have a big meal now?
(…)
(lll￢㉨￢)
(Tibbers will not remind his bad little master that she has begun to attract people's attention. If she doesn't leave, she will probably be included in the unpopular list and her favorability will drop sharply. Horrible truth?)
"Annie..."
Now, Lin was at a loss and was ready for a showdown.
"I really didn't expect you to be so good at eating, but we can only treat you so much for free. If you want to continue eating, then...you have to pay..."
She had no choice but to turn around again and look at her father, Dart, and after receiving a strong signal from the other party, Lin took a deep breath, then gritted her teeth and turned her head in embarrassment. With a smile that was even uglier than crying, he risked his life and said shamelessly.
Anyway, now this little guy is shameless and shameless to come to prey on a big family like her, so she doesn't care, directly states something, and then lets the other party give up and leave on her own?
"Pay?"
+
"Ha! I seem to be rich too! Here, Sister Lin, just take it and swipe it, and then bring me a delicious set meal first, I can't wait now!!"
ヽ(⌒ω⌒)o〼
After hearing what was going on, Annie was stunned for a moment, and then quickly took out a ranch account that Mayor Thomas had handled for her and her own financial card, and stuffed it directly into the little sister Lin's hand. In her hand, she signaled the other party to do as she said quickly.
"ah……"
"Okay, would you please wait a moment?"
Although Lin wanted to persuade her not to eat too much at one time, even if her father's cooking was really good? After all, it would not be a good idea for a little guy like the other party to accidentally overeat or get a stomachache in their store.
However, when she saw that her father, Dart, instantly became energetic and waved for her to quickly go over and swipe his card, Lin could only sigh and walked to the counter listlessly, ready to continue entertaining someone. A little foodie who hangs around and never gets enough.
☀
Thirty minutes later...
"ha!"
ꉂ(๑¯͒ꇴ¯͒)=3
"I feel so satisfied with my meal, Sister Lin. Let me bring you an apple pie and a salad. Remember to ask for something sweeter and less spicy!!"
ヽ(⌒ω⌒)ﾉ
"Also, I will pack two big meals later, and they will take them back to eat at night!"
o(✪ω✪)o
Annie, who barely managed to eat a full meal, felt that if she had a dessert later, she could go back with her packed things and then take a nice nap. As for the farm, she could wait until tomorrow. Say it again.
Of course, there may be no use waiting until tomorrow, because she will definitely not be able to work anyway!
"Annie..."
However, after hearing Annie's words, the young lady Lin on the side did not go to prepare. Instead, she walked to her side with a look of helplessness, then frowned and gently put the ranch's shipping card on the table.
"Sister Lin, what's wrong?"
(⊙o⊙*)?
"Annie..."
"It's like this. Our store doesn't accept takeaways because the food must be eaten while it's hot. Taking it away will affect the taste if it gets cold, which will ruin our reputation!"
"Also..."
"There is no money in your card. The money left just now is just enough to buy that set meal..."
After saying that, Lin covered her forehead with a headache.
This greedy little guy, who only has 500 G in his account, actually came to her store to top up a large amount of money, and dared to order so many things, and even packed them up to take away. This is really ...Anyway, she no longer knows what to say about this little guy!
"Huh?"
+
"Have you no money already?!"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
Anne really didn't know about this, because the old man with the bad nose and Mayor Thomas said yesterday that the card he applied for himself had some reserve funds for him to start the farm?
But now it seems that it is really just a little bit, so pitiful that it is only enough for her to pay for a set meal...
But it doesn’t matter, this kind of thing is not a big problem. In Annie’s view, as long as the problem can be solved by money, it is not a problem!
so……
Snap~! !
"Here! Sister Lin, I have these gold coins here, should they be enough?!"
↜(ψ｀▽′)o
Annie directly slapped a few gold coins on the table, and then signaled a certain sister Lin to quickly prepare her food, even the packaged ones. She didn't care about the other party's breaking of rules, she just wanted to take it away. ! At worst, she could just sneak it into her interdimensional bag while the other party wasn't paying attention. That's not a big problem.
"..."
"this……"
Lin looked blankly at the gold coins on the table, and then at the serious-looking little girl in front of her. Lin didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong?"
∑(´△｀)? !
"Sister Lin, why are you still standing here? Aren't these gold coins money?"
ε٩(๑⌓̈๑)۶з
The other party stood still and looked at her strangely, which made Anne feel a little strange and asked angrily.
"You're right, Annie...this is indeed not money!"
"In fact..."
"I'm afraid no one here will accept this kind of small toy made of mineral gold... and gold is really not very valuable. We are an ore town. You can barely exchange for about a hundred pieces of gold like yours. Twenty-five G, right?”
“And it’s the kind of gold ingot that has been smelted!”
"so……"
After sighing, she picked up a gold coin and looked at it and observed the strange text patterns on it. Lin then threw it on the table indifferently, just like throwing a small stone? Then, he explained to little Annie in a dumbfounded tone.
"What?!"
+
"The gold you have here is so worthless?!"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)!!
Anne was shocked!
She never imagined that her gold or gold coins, which had been invincible in countless worlds, would be worth a small amount of money in this world, in this Ore Town, and would be as good as scrap metal. , it takes a hundred spicy ones to exchange for twenty-five grams, and then two thousand can barely exchange for a big meal, and the other party may not accept it?
(…)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
(If it were Tibbers, if gold was not enough, it would just grab it. Anyway, it knows that no matter what world it is in, the value of force is universal! And in this world, even if it has all kinds of magical powers, it is even said that Even though she has a goddess, she will definitely not be a match for her bear (dog?) uncle, let alone her bad little master.)
"It's not worthless anymore..."
"At least a little bit more valuable than copper, iron and silver?"
Biting her little finger, Lin began to recall the shipping prices of the ores in their Ore Town, and then quickly remembered that gold seemed to be in the third place in the shipping price?
Of course, the countdown kind!
"If you can dig up the Philosopher's Stone or Pink Diamond and Alexandrite, they are still very valuable. In the past, people in our Ore Town occasionally dug up... but since everyone's life has improved, few people are willing to do so. In the middle of winter, I went to the mine in the middle of the lake and there is a spring to dig..."
"And mining can only be done in winter, and spring has just begun..."
Lin vaguely remembered that the shipping price of the most valuable Philosopher's Stone was a full 20,000 G? The slightly worse pink diamonds and alexandrites are both 10,000 G, which are the top minerals.
But that kind of thing definitely has little to do with the super-eating little guy in front of her. She doesn't believe that the other person's small arms and legs can run into the mine to dig, let alone go deep into the legendary The ancestors of Ore Town dug a total of 255 floors of spring mines and lake mines!
"But Annie, you definitely can't mine!"
"Your ranch is bankrupt now. You'd better think of a way to make some money or find some seeds to plant the land!"
"Otherwise you will be kicked out by the mayor soon!!"
That's right, although the pasture in their Ore Town is almost given away for free, the townspeople's patience has a limit to the guy who doesn't farm and spends too much money leading to bankruptcy. After a period of time, if the situation of the pasture If there is still no improvement, then Mayor Thomas will definitely treat him as a lazy guy and kick him out.
"My ranch is going bankrupt!?"
!? (•''•۶)۶
"..."
(°ー°〃)
Anne suddenly felt a little weird, because she obviously didn't do anything, how could she go bankrupt so soon?
"So! Sister Lin, how do you go about farming?"
━(◯Δ◯∥)━ン
The food in this mineral town is very delicious. Annie hasn't been able to eat a few of them yet, and she doesn't want to be driven away just yet. Therefore, if farming can make money and give her ranch that is on the verge of bankruptcy a little bit of a rescue, maybe she can Will you give it a try too?
(…)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
(Tibbers thinks that is definitely not a good idea. In its opinion, it might as well be to rob that Lady of the Lake!)
"Farming..."
"Although I have never planted it, I still know a little bit..."
She had no choice but to see that the other party was no longer entangled in the issue of food, and felt that it was necessary to give some guidance to this little guy who didn't understand anything. Lin slowly introduced what she knew... although she herself was not one of them. It was too clear, and she had never planted anything... However, when Lin was a child, she had seen how the old rancher farmed in the pasture, so she used her memory to describe what she knew, that is, hoeing. The seemingly simple farming method of buying seeds, sowing, watering and finally harvesting is explained.
“Don’t you need fertilizing and pest control?”
☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ
Anne knew that bugs would grow when planting things, and she also had to fertilize them, probably by throwing animal poop in there? That kind of thing is simple. At worst, she can just let Tibbers, who she turned into a dog, go to the fields to poop and pee.
(!!)
(lll￢㉨￢)
“What is Fertilization and Pest Control?”
However, what surprised little Annie was: a certain little sister Lin seemed to have no idea about fertilizing and removing insects?
"..."
+
"Just to prevent insects from eating the crops..."
(๑վ‸վ๑)
Anne told her what she knew, such as the fact that crops would suffer from pests and diseases and would not grow well without fertilizing. But she didn’t know exactly how to do it, but she believed that her magic would be able to deal with it by then. OK
"ah?"
"No need! Our farms in Ore Town are all like that. You just need to plow the land, plant it, and then water it every day. Then you can harvest it in about ten days!"
After hearing about Little Annie's weird planting experience, Lin quickly waved her hands and said with a smile, because they really don't need to do what the other party just said here in Ore Town.
"..."
(°ー°〃)
I don’t know why, but Annie always feels a little weird...
But she still didn't ask any more questions. She planned to go to the grocery store later to see what seeds were available there, and then buy some herself and plant a large field on the farm. Then she would know when the time comes. The specific situation.
Perhaps, that should be caused by the rules in this weird world?
After all, this is the first time she has encountered this small world where there are only four months in a year and then divided into four seasons. Each season only has one month and thirty days. So it is natural that some things are beyond common sense. inevitable.
