A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 31 Misunderstanding
Leon smiled and said nothing, just sitting quietly on the boat, admiring the sunset gradually approaching the sea level, and looking at the orange-red clouds in the sky painted by the sunlight.

There's no other way. This trip to the sea is all strenuous work. Although his physical fitness has improved, in terms of strength, Lyon's current physique is only at the level of an ordinary adult. He can still sit upright, which shows his strong willpower.

Willy, on the other hand, remained unchanged, manipulating the underwater propeller to turn, holding a radio in his free left hand.

Because the boat was going very fast and the sea breeze was strong, Leon didn't hear clearly what Willy said on the radio, but he should be chatting with a friend because Willy's expression was very natural and he laughed from time to time.

By the time the two returned to the pier by the beach, it was already getting dark, but Leon still saw a fishing boat near the pier that was the same model as Willy's fishing boat, but larger and taller.

Later, at Willy's invitation, Leon got to know the captain of the large fishing boat and also understood who was chatting with him on Willy's radio.

The captain of the fishing boat named Screaming Parrot is a famous consignee near the Gem Sea. Willy called him over to count and sell today's catch.

Anyway, Leon didn't understand the terms used by the two people when they were communicating, but the dirty jokes he occasionally heard were quite interesting. It can be seen that this consignee is also a good chatterbox.

After the consignee counted the quantity and types of all the fish in the tank, he called on the crew on his ship to start transportation, and he went to the dock with Willy, and Leon was also among them.

The first thing he did after getting ashore was to take out a wallet from his pocket, count out a stack of banknotes and hand it to Willy. After counting the amount, Willy took out half of it and handed it to Leon.

"This is yours."

"So many?" Lyon was a little surprised when he saw the thick stack of Vanger Republic currency with a face value of 100 yuan, which looked like about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.

"Yeah, what do you think? Doesn't it feel exaggerated? But this is not normal. Oftentimes, our harvest at sea may not even be one-tenth of what we get today. We may even return empty-handed. That's why I'm so interested in the fish-luring effect of this little bug. The more bait we have, the more guaranteed harvest we have." Willy explained to Leon, and then couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that shallots need to be found in the wild and only appear in spring. Otherwise, this new discovery might be a major discovery that would be published in the Vanger Republic Economic Journal."

"You still have this pursuit? I can't tell, Willy." Lyon couldn't help but teasing Willy when he heard it. After all, he didn't expect that Willy was studying these things in order to get them published in the newspaper.

"Hahaha, just a random example." Willy waved his hand. "Compared to being famous, I'd rather go fishing in a secluded place on a day when I don't have work."

"It's getting late. Let's go to the Stardrop to eat something. I'll treat you." After receiving the dividends, Leon was not stingy and generously offered to treat Willy.

Willy didn't refuse. He just looked at the two men's miserable appearance and reminded them, "No problem, but do you think if we go to Gus's bar like this, he will kick us out for affecting the guests' appetite?"

Leon only just realized that he was still covered in the smell of fish and scales, and he scratched his head awkwardly. "Well, I have to go back and take a shower and change clothes. How about we meet up at the Stardrop Salon after we wash up?"

"Okay, by the way, take the keys with you. Your farm is quite far from here. Ride back quickly and then drive the bike to the entrance of the Stardrop. We can return it to me after dinner. It will save you a lot of time." Willy nodded, then took out the motorcycle keys and the garage keys and stuffed them all at once to Leon.

Lyon didn't refuse. After all, having a means of transportation was more reliable than taking the No. 11 bus. So after parting with Willy, Lyon went straight to the garage to get his motorcycle, started the engine skillfully and headed straight for the farm.

The first thing Lyon did when he arrived at the farm house was to take off his smelly clothes and take a shower. Because there was still some smell on his body, Lyon washed it twice with soap before he could completely get rid of the terrible smell.

After changing into new clothes, Leon finally had time to count the money Willy had given him for his catch.

Forty-seven hundred-dollar common currency bills and four fifty-dollar bills, totaling four thousand nine hundred yuan. This amount of money is enough to cover his income from working in Joja for two months with some left over.

This also made Lyon realize the benefits of fish, but he was troubled by the fact that his knowledge of fishing was only theoretical and he was unable to develop it as his main business for the time being.

Hiding most of the money under the TV and carrying only three hundred dollars in cash, Leon went out and rode his motorcycle to the Stardrop to meet Willy.

When he arrived at the door of the Stardrop, he didn't see Willy. After parking the car and entering the bar, he saw Willy sitting alone at a table near the door. There was already beer on Willy's table.

Leon sat opposite Willy and said, "I don't drink, Willy, I'm sorry."

"Oh? That's a pity, but I can finish all this by myself." Willy was a little surprised, but did not urge Leon to drink. Instead, he greeted Gus happily.

"Gus, someone treated me to dinner today, hurry up and give me two servings of today's special!"

Gus had already noticed the location of Leon and Gus. When he heard the greeting, he walked over and said with emotion: "I remember Leon has only been in Pelican Town for a few days. How come you two have such a good relationship?"

"Hahaha, he and I made a lot of money today when we went out to sea together, and I got along well with Leon. I haven't been so happy in a long time." Willy explained to Gus.

"I see. I didn't realize Leon could actually fish. Looks like a remarkable farmer has arrived in Pelican Town."

Gus looked at Leon with emotion after hearing this, and then whispered, “Leon, do you want me to ask Emily to come over and help you order?”

"Oh!" Willy on the side also heard Gus' words, and his expression suddenly became playful, but he just exclaimed and didn't make any more jokes. After all, in this kind of thing, you still have to give the other party some respect.

Leon was also a little helpless. It wasn't that he had any special thoughts about Emily. He simply felt that he could chat with Emily in the bar, and the other party was a beautiful girl of the same age, so he admired her. At this moment, facing Gus's hint, he really didn't know how to respond.
