A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 350 I protest!
After all the prepared dishes were cooked into delicious meals, Leon took off his apron, and while serving the last dish of stir-fried cauliflower, he gestured to Emily to call the girls to eat.

In addition to the six dishes prepared by Lyon, Emily also baked a stack of egg tarts and small cakes as staples while Lyon was busy.

Because Stardew Valley follows the custom of separate dining, everyone uses a public spoon to take what they want to eat from the plate and put it on their own plate before eating.

In addition, the dishes cooked by Leon were very generous, so he had to use large plates to serve them. So when Leon brought all the food to the table, Emily's big table was basically full, occupying half of the space.

Looking at the food, Leon couldn't help but frown. He was worried that there was too much food and it would be wasted if he couldn't finish it.

I didn't pay much attention to the portions when cooking, so now all the food added up is enough for eight people. There are four little girls among the five people, so they probably won't be able to finish it.

If it really doesn't work, then Lyon will just pack up the food with a licking face. Although doing so in front of the girls will seem a bit petty and make people think that Lyon is taking advantage, but compared to wasting food, Lyon feels that face is not important.

After serving the dishes, Leon also prepared matching knives, forks, spoons, plates and serving spoons for each person. Then the four girls came to the restaurant together. Looking at the table that had been prepared by Leon, they sat down and started eating. Emily spoke with some self-blame.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"It's okay. It's just a matter of convenience. Let's sit down and eat." Leon smiled and said to Emily that it was okay. Then he asked everyone to sit down.

"It's clearly Haley's house, but you're acting like the owner." Abigail naturally sat down next to the seat chosen by Leon and muttered softly.

Lyon pretended not to hear it, because this kind of complaint was meaningless no matter what he said. As long as he didn't take it seriously, the rumor would naturally be self-defeating.

Lyon was still a little nervous before the meal, but after the meal, when he saw the girls laughing and chatting, and praising the food, he was sure that he had not failed. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked everyone to eat more.

"I didn't know you could cook. Not bad." Sophia really liked the sweet and sour pork tenderloin prepared by Leon. It seemed that she had a very obvious preference for sweet and sour food.

"It's still a little bit behind Gusby. As long as you like it," Lyon replied modestly.

"Well, Uncle Gus is a professional chef. When I ate at some high-end restaurants outside, I felt that their chefs were not as good as Uncle Gus's. You don't have to compare yourself with Uncle Gus, but compared with those chefs, there doesn't seem to be much difference. It's already great." Sophia commented to Leon seriously.

"Eat more if you like it." Leon shrugged. Although he wanted to complain that Sophia was a bit too boastful, since Sophia gave him face, he couldn't but give Sophia face.

Originally, Leon was worried that too much food would be prepared and there might be waste, but he realized that it was because his cooking was delicious or everyone was hungry, so the food that was prepared was enough for eight people, but it was almost eaten up.

The price they paid for this was that the five of them, including Leon, leaned back in their chairs after the meal and didn't want to move because they were too full.

After a ten-minute break, Emily began clearing the table. Leon, who had been about to help, was pushed down by Hayley into a chair, so she took the initiative to help Emily clean up. Even Abigail and Sofia helped, and with the combined efforts of the four of them, the table was quickly clean. Hayley then retrieved a board game from her room and began the most important part of the dinner.

The game is a bit like Monopoly, Ludo, and has some shadows of the Dungeons & Dragons board game. It supports multiple players playing at the same time, and it is interactive and interesting. Although the rules are a bit complicated, with four skilled players, Leon quickly mastered the gameplay of the game with the help of the girls.

I don't know why, but when Leon played this board game, he always felt that he was being treated in two polar opposites. Emily was helping him, while Haley and Abigail were madly targeting him. They threw any negative props and cards to Leon without hesitation. On the contrary, Sophia walked forward silently throughout the game and became the first player to complete the first round.

Originally, Leon thought that Abigail's desire to win would make her give up targeting him and instead start targeting Sophia, but Abigail was determined to kill him, and so was Haley. Even though Emily occasionally helped Leon use props to restrict Abigail and Haley, in the end, two fists could not beat four hands.

During the whole afternoon of board game time, Leon didn't even finish the first lap, Emily completed two laps, Abigail and Haley completed five laps each, and Sophia completed 12 laps directly. The land and property she owned were twice the total of the other four people.

But even though she was the best in the game, Sophia still couldn't be happy because she felt like an outsider. She was not playing the same game as Leon and the others and had no sense of participation at all.

So after thinking for a moment, Sophia joined the ranks of helping Leon. Because of the accumulated capital and props over the years, Sophia's strong joining directly suppressed Abigail and Haley, giving Leon a chance to finally breathe and catch up with the progress.

It's just that he was targeted too badly in the early stages. Even if he doesn't have to worry about Abigail and Hayley now, there are no idle assets and treasure points on the map. In the end, Leon still became the unlucky guy at the bottom.

"Okay, the game is over! According to the rules, the last one to come in will be penalized. All the penalty cards are here. Leon, draw one yourself."

When everyone was a little tired, Haley, the initiator, announced the end of the game. But before Leon could rejoice that he had finally endured this torture, Haley's words made Leon fall from heaven to hell again.

"Is there such a wicked rule?" Leon didn't believe it. He always felt that Haley was setting a trap for him.

But Leon's doubts were not recognized. Instead, everyone else stared at Leon with a smile of watching the fun. Only Emily kindly explained to Leon: "It's true, Leon, otherwise Abigail and Haley wouldn't be so targeted."

"Ignorance is not a crime. I want to protest! I think as a newbie I should have an exemption." Leon didn't know what was on these punishment cards, but since Haley and Abigail could snipe him so hard, the punishment on the card must be very bad.

"Dismissed! Come on, Leon, accept your fate."

Abigail crossed her arms across her chest and pronounced the sentence without hesitation, while Haley spread out a stack of cards with punishment words written on them in front of Leon with a smug look on her face and made a gesture of invitation.

　I feel like the story has been a bit watery lately, but there's nothing I can do about it. I got stuck before, but I figured out the next plot last night, so I will speed up the main storyline of the current chapter.
