A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 10 In-depth communication
Morris's eyes made Leon a little wary. After all, boys have to protect themselves when they are outside these days. However, he didn't think Morris was a strange guy. This look might mean that there was some interest in him that the other party was interested in.

"As someone who once belonged to the same family, I'd like to ask Mr. Leon a question. Do you support JojaMart's proposal to convert the old community center into a logistics warehouse? This would strengthen Pelican Town's logistics system and make it more modern, benefiting both you and me. With better logistics, your farm might also gain more sales channels."

Sure enough, the next moment Morris directly put forward his own ideas.

"I'm sorry, I'm still unfamiliar with this town, and I think you should ask such questions to the mayor, not a newly arrived farmer like me." Leon smiled and chose to perfunctorily pass it over.

"Okay, then would you like to learn about our JojaMart membership system?" Morris felt a little disappointed after hearing this answer, but immediately brought up a new topic.

"No." Leon refused decisively this time.

"Don't be so hasty to answer. JOJA will always be present in Pelican Town to provide the best consumer experience for its residents. You can consider this matter when the need arises. As a first-time gift, I think you might like this."

As Morris spoke, he handed Lyon a paper voucher.

Lyon glanced at it and saw that it was a discount coupon with a 20% discount, which could be used for a single purchase and was a disposable item.

Leon didn't refuse. Instead, he smiled and thanked Morris. "Thank you for the gift, Manager Morris. I'll consider joining the Joja Club."

"Looking forward to your reply, I wish you a happy shopping." Morris raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking very proud, and then said goodbye politely.

Lyon did not hesitate and used the coupon to pay the bill. The price was more than 10 yuan cheaper, which was enough to buy an extra KG bag of rice. It was considered a profit.

After Lewis and Leon loaded the things onto the pickup truck and got in, Lewis asked as he drove towards the farm.

"What do you think of Morris's proposal?"

"The proposal about the old community center?" Lyon asked.

"Yeah." Lewis replied with a nod.

"Perhaps I can answer this question after I visit the old community center," Leon replied. "After all, I have to see what the old community center looks like."

“After I send you back, if you are interested, I can take you to see it.” Lewis suggested.

"So, what do you think about this community center, Lewis?" While there was still some distance to go before returning, Lyon did not waste this period of time and began to ask Lewis.

"Me? I'm really confused. You know, the community center used to be the most lively place in Pelican Town, with many activities and gatherings taking place there. But young people nowadays would rather watch TV at home all day than go out, so it's gradually been abandoned."

Lewis said this with a somewhat dejected expression: "I don't like this, and Morris has mentioned the idea of ​​acquiring the community center more than once, and the acquisition price will not be too low. Pelican Town needs this money for its development, but I don't want to see this former community center disappear. However, it will also cost a lot of money to repair it, and Pelican Town's assets cannot provide this expenditure. So, Leon, what do you think I should choose?"

"This is not an urgent matter. You have plenty of time to think about it." Leon comforted gently.

"You're right, this is indeed not an imminent matter." Lewis breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and thinking about it made him feel much better.

He was not worried that if the matter was delayed, Morris would not plan to acquire the old community center, because this was one of the few large plots of land for sale in the town. As long as Morris still wanted to expand the market in Pelican Town and Stardew Valley, Lewis believed that Morris would never give up this proposal easily.

He could also use this time to see if he could save enough money to repair the community center and give this old community center new life. After all, deep down, he didn't want to let the community center remain abandoned.

So Lewis relaxed a lot in the following time, and told Leon a lot of stories and legends about Stardew Valley on the way.

It was not until the two of them arrived at the farm that Leon immediately noticed a large box, two by four in size and more than one meter high, placed next to the mailbox.

"Haha, it looks like our workers have already installed the shipping boxes for you in advance. Just like I said, as long as you're not on the farm, the workers will naturally help you complete this work."

Lewis was not surprised by this, but joked with Lyon happily.

"I really want to see what these hardworking workers look like." Lyon echoed, already having his own answer in his mind.

"You'll see." Lewis comforted Leon.

Then the two got out of the car together. Lewis helped Leon move his things into the farmhouse and suggested, "Do you want to have lunch at my place?"

“Of course, after lunch, maybe we can go to the old community center.” Leon nodded, and he was not polite. After all, Lewis’s enthusiasm gave him a sense of care from an elder, and the other party was not being polite, but really wanted to invite him to lunch.

"Then let's go." Lewis immediately got in the car and said to Leon, "It just so happens that I was planning to take you to see the community center. You know, your grandfather also made great efforts when the community center was first established."

"Does this have anything to do with him?" Lyon was a little surprised. He didn't know this news.

"Of course, your grandfather brought a lot of changes to Stardew Valley and Pelican Town. Do you know why your grandfather and I have a good relationship?"

Lewis, who was driving, asked back.

"why?"

"Because strictly speaking, my position as mayor was secured by your grandfather. Pelican Town back then was very different from what it is now. If it weren't for your grandfather's support and the prestige of Red Star Farm in the local area, I might have stepped down long ago." Lewis said with emotion.

"That's why I care about you. Your grandfather helped me so much, but by the time I could do anything for him, he had already passed away. So I want to repay you for this kindness. Of course, the most important reason is that I want Red Star Farm to be restored to its original state, or even better than before. Leon, I believe you can do it."
