There should be a cash register icon in the bottom left corner. You're now in the shop. Go to the tab in the shop with the icon that looks like a structure of some kind. Look for the mill (it's at the top) and buy it.
Question

How do I get more XP on Hay Day?

Community Answer

XP is really easy to get in Hay Day, but depending on which level in the game you are on, it can take a little while to get to the next level. You can get XP from reviving trees and bushes or filling boat crates, whether it's on your boat or someone else's. A fast way to get XP is to keep farming crops like wheat, even though they only give a little XP. Farm lots of wheat and then sell it. Doing this also helps you to get items for your barn and silo. Also, collecting animal products is good. Depending on what level you are on, the town is a good place to get XP, and you can also fill truck orders, although it may take a while to get all the products needed.

How do you earn a lot of gift cards from Greg?

Community Answer

Greg only asks for help once, to demonstrate how helping works. After that, you will have to help real people. If you have a neighborhood or have friends or followers, you can help them. You can also search the newspaper.
