Gold panning in the summer is not a hard job, but it is more painful in the winter. That is why stowaways or homeless people from overseas soak their feet in the seawater to pan for gold all year round in order to make a living.

Local young men who want to make extra money usually choose to work part-time in the summer, work for two or three months, and come back in autumn.

Anyway, summers work is relatively simple

The weather is sunny and the pasture is abundant. In the morning, the sheep are let out to let them have fun and have enough to eat. In the evening, they rush back to the sheepfold to sleep.

Because they are outside during the day, the sheepfold does not get dirty that quickly. It only needs to be cleaned every few days.

Unlike autumn and winter, because you need to light a fireplace, you need to store more charcoal and dry firewood than in summer. You also need to store as much hay as possible and strengthen the sheepfold. When the rainy season comes, you have to prevent the sheep from being bored in the sheepfold and fighting; Being crowded into a sheepfold makes cleaning difficult; not to mention the heavy task of shearing sheep in late winter and early spring.nove(l)bi(n.)com

So young people can't stay in the summer and want to take leave to try their luck in the south. The kind-hearted Hunters always allow them to take leave.

At this time in previous years, sheep herding was Old George's job. This year, when Xu Yin came, he took a back seat and stayed in the village to dry and sort the sheep.

Freshly sheared wool is highly moist and has a foul odor. It needs to be dried in the sun for several days to eliminate the foul odor and sterilize it. Only in this way can the wool be sold at a high price.

Old George liked drying wool. After drying, he could sit in the shade of a tree and smoke his pipe and rest for a while. Unlike herding, he had to keep following the sheep. If a sheep misbehaved, he would have to chase after it. Rush.

Xu Yin enjoys the daily life of grazing

Under the blue sky and white clouds, she wore a refreshing fishbone braid and a wide-brimmed straw hat to protect her from the sun. She was carrying a small satchel that the cook had packed with water and dry food for her, and she was slowly walking across the vast expanse while driving her sheep. on the grass.

Go out after breakfast and dont come back until evening.

The sheep ate as they walked, and she picked wild vegetables and flowers as she walked. If she was lucky, she could also dig up wild medicinal herbs.

The grass in the pasture is either wild or grown from grass seeds spread by ranchers in spring.

The grass seeds we buy are mainly ryegrass and alfalfa, but there are also some other types of grass seeds mixed in. You wont know what they are until they grow out, but they wont be poisonous or harmful weeds anyway.

Its a pity that she doesnt have much money saved now. Even if there is land for her to buy, she wont be able to buy much.

There is no shortage of gold bars and bricks on hand, but there is no shop in town that buys gold and silver. If you want to sell it, go to Christchurch.

She is a single girl, and she only has a thick piece of gold bars and bricks. If she is targeted by someone, she will be uneasy in the future.

Lets save money slowly, since I havent found a suitable land now anyway.

In this way, she drove the sheep out in the morning and drove the sheep back in the evening. During the day, she walked with the sheep on dozens of hectares of pasture. In the morning, she dug wild herbs and picked wild flowers. In the afternoon, she found a shady place where the sheep could rest. Also take a rest and think about the hair remover.

She spent some energy points and bought a set of the most advanced electric hair clippers from the system store. She studied the drawings that came with it, went back to find parts, and tried to improve the current electric hair clippers.

In short, there is a lot of gain every day.

Store half of the wild vegetables and medicinal materials collected and bring back half.

Several seasonal wild vegetables gradually appeared on the dining table of the Hunter family: cold pea shoots, red alfalfa flowers mixed with potato salad, and stir-fried watercress.

There are more and more dandelions and wild daisies drying on the windowsill. I make tea with a mint leaf, which is particularly refreshing in summer.

Although these things are not valuable, no one usually picks them.

Some of them didnt know, and some didnt know how to cook and eat them after picking them. Xu Yin not only recognized them, but also knew how to eat them, which made Mrs. Hunter extremely happy.

Every night before going to bed, she would praise Xu Yin to Mr. Hunter:

Sean, this kid, knows so much! Since she came to our ranch, she has not only improved everyones work efficiency, but also the dining table has become richer and richer. I really like her so much!

"The wild flowers she dried taste good when made into tea. It is said that her hometown also uses them to treat diseases. I had a urinary tract infection not long ago, and I drank dandelion tea for a few days. I feel much better. It seems really good. It works!

Is it time for you to give Sean a salary increase? She has saved our family a lot of money.

Mr. Hunter:
