A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 273 Various contingency plans, full preparation for war

Time passed quickly as they prepared dinner while chatting. When Leon fried two steaks and brought out the steamed buns he had made, Abigail was confused.

"Is this milk-flavored bread? But I don't smell any milk."

The white steamed buns were the main reason why Abigail asked this question. After all, common breads are basically baked and contain ingredients such as corn flour and buckwheat flour, so the color is tends to be burnt yellow.

It’s not that white bread doesn’t exist, it’s just that it’s rare. Lyon’s plate of plump white steamed buns really touched Abigail’s blind spot in knowledge.

"It's kind of like bread, but it's a modified version." Leon was too lazy to explain to Abigail the difference between bread and steamed buns, because there were too many points of knowledge involved. If you told a Westerner the story of steamed buns and Mr. Zhuge, the Westerner might not understand it, let alone explain this story to people from another world.

"It looks pretty good, and very chewy. It's fun to play with." Abigail picked up a steamed bun and kneaded it like she had found a new toy, making all kinds of shapes out of it, which made Leon very angry.

Leon reached out and gave Abigail a slap on the forehead, then said seriously, "Don't treat food as a toy."

"Oh oh oh." Abigail quickly stopped making her DIY steamed buns, sat down obediently on the chair, and waited for Leon to eat first.

After all, this new type of 'bread' was the first time she had seen it, and she didn't quite understand how to eat it, but Leon must know, so she only needed to refer to Leon's way of eating to avoid embarrassment.

Leon also noticed Abigail's idea, and he cut the steak in front of him into small pieces with a knife and fork. He then broke the steamed bun open, stuffed the cut pieces of beef into it, and took a big bite.

Abigail followed suit and started eating, instantly feeling the novelty and satisfaction of the experience.

Later, I saw Leon dipping the white 'bread' into the sauce on the steak plate, so I followed suit and found that the white 'bread' that absorbed the sauce tasted richer and more unique.

"Leon, do you have any fresh jam here? I want to dip it in it." Abigail, who had unlocked this way of eating, immediately had a new idea and asked Leon.

"No." Leon shook his head and answered. He was not lying to Abigail, but he really didn't have any jam on hand because he didn't like sour and sweet things.

Moreover, he always felt weird about dipping steamed buns in jam. Even if there was jam, Leon would not allow Abigail to eat it like this. At least he didn't want to see this scene in front of him, because the picture was scary to think about.

He can accept dipping in sesame sauce, chili sauce, soybean paste, broad bean paste and even seafood sauce, but he absolutely cannot accept dipping in fruit sauce.

It feels like when you watch Sichuan Opera face-changing. No matter what type of facial makeup is used, you will only marvel at the performer's superb skills and techniques. But when a black question mark face or a panda head emoticon appears among these facial makeups, how will you feel?

"That's such a pity." Abigail sighed with a hint of regret after hearing this, but she didn't force it. After all, it was actually quite delicious when dipped in steak sauce.

After finishing the meal with Leon, Abigail did not leave in a hurry. While helping Leon clean the tableware, she asked, "So do you agree to cooperate with me?"

"Do you really want to cooperate?" Leon thought for a moment and reminded Abigail, "Although a 2-on-2 fight might win you, it would be embarrassing if you didn't, okay?"

"Don't worry, I have many backup plans." Abigail patted her chest and assured, "We will definitely win." "Tell me about it." Leon asked curiously.

"You must agree to cooperate with me first." Abigail insisted on this condition.

"Okay." Thinking that the Easter egg treasure hunt was not a serious competition but just an entertainment activity at the festival, Lyon agreed to cooperate with Abigail.

"Hehe, I knew you would agree." Abigail slapped Leon on the back proudly, not caring at all about the fact that her wet hand would leave a slap mark on Leon's clothes.

Fortunately, Leon had the habit of taking a shower and changing clothes every day, so he didn't care about the wet slap mark.

"So what's your backup plan? Contact someone else to collaborate, or try to disrupt Jas and Vincent's treasure hunt?"

"I can't make any promises about cooperating with one more person. The combination of two people is enough. As for interfering with the contestants, don't mention it. I'm not that despicable." Abigail replied righteously.

"My backup plan is to secretly scout the area at night and mark the locations of the Easter eggs that have been placed. How about that? Want to join us?"

"Isn't this backup plan despicable?" Lyon looked at Abigail speechlessly and complained.

"That's called being prepared, and you don't think I'm the only one who would do this, do you?" Abigail rolled her eyes. "Although Jody won't let Vincent out tonight, Vincent's brother Sam will definitely help his brother and me scout the area in advance. We even have to be prepared for a two-on-three situation."

"Is the competition so fierce? Is this event that important?" Lyon was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect that a game project for a holiday celebration would have so many twists and turns, making it like some kind of large-scale competition.

"Anyway, we have to make every preparation. Are you going?" Abigail asked, shaking Leon's arm.

"Go away." Abigail had already taken the initiative to act like a spoiled child. What else could Leon do? He was a person who would only respond to soft words and not to hard ones.

After the dishwashing activity was over, Abigail and Leon headed towards Pelican Town together.

The means of transportation was still bicycles, and Leon was still riding a bicycle while Abigail was sitting on the horizontal bar, but this time they didn't need to take a detour. Instead, they rode openly along the path outside the farm that led directly to Pelican Town.

When they arrived at Pelican Town, Leon and Abigail separated at the entrance of Pelican Town. Abigail began to explore along the east side, while Leon looked for the location of the Easter egg from the south. The two finally agreed to meet at the cemetery.

Although I was somewhat reluctant about the proposal to meet at the cemetery, after all, it felt weird to go to a cemetery in the middle of the night for no reason.

But after Abigail asked, "Are you scared?", Leon agreed to the meeting place. Although this was a very low-level method of provoking, it was really useful.
