## Mill work in Apeville

Nestled by the serene Lake Yvette stands our beloved watermill, the hub of Apeville's culinary craft. In the rhythmic clatter and hum of the mill, you can turn harvested wheat into bags of flour, then further into golden loaves of bread, earning $AVAC in the process.

#### Crafting Flour at the Mill

Making flour at the mill is a straightforward yet satisfying task. Here's how it's done:

1. **Harvest Wheat**: Before visiting the mill, you will need to have harvested wheat from the ranch fields. Each bag of flour requires five pieces of wheat.
2. **The Grinding Process**: Once at the mill, find the grinder marked with the sign "Drop Wheat Here". Drag and drop your wheat pieces into the grinder. Once all five pieces are in, the mill will start grinding them into a fine flour.
3. **Collecting the Flour**: After the grinding process, you will be provided with a bag of flour. This bag is a one-time-use item and will be deleted after use, so be sure to use it wisely.

### Baking Bread at the Mill

Once you have your bag of flour, you can turn it into a delightful loaf of bread. Here's how:

1. **Locate the Bread Station**: The Bread Station is marked with a red pose-ball. Approach it with your bag of flour.
2. **Bake the Bread**: Drag and drop your bag of flour onto the Bread Station. This will initiate the baking process.
3. **Collect the Fresh Bread**: After baking, a fresh loaf of bread will appear in the oven. Click it to collect your loaf.

### Profiting from your Baking

Once you have your warm, fresh loaf of bread, take it to the General Store. Simply place your bread upon the counter and sell it for a tidy $25 AVAC.

The watermill is a cornerstone of Apeville's thriving local economy and a testament to our dedication to self-sustainability. By transforming wheat to flour and finally to bread, you're not just earning $AVAC but participating in a cycle of life that has powered societies for millennia. Now roll up those sleeves and let's make some bread!
