Question about cold wallets

I created a cold wallet using the CLI on my Ubuntu laptop. It’s also farming now. How can I check if I have earned something? Do I need to import the key of the child wallet?

I’m rather confused. The cold wallet is not meant to farm. Its used to receive your farmer rewards that you farm on another machine with different keys (your hot-wallet). You can check it by using chiaexplorer and the receive adress of your cold-wallet.

Thanks. I’m new to Chia so I may have explained things incorrectly. So I basically created the cold wallet following the instructions on the wiki. Now how can I tell if I have earned something in the cold wallet? Or please correct me if that’s not how it works.
