A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 546 Listening to Linus Talk About the Past

Unfortunately, he underestimated Leon's eyesight and speed. The moment Linus stood up, Leon strode to the door of Linus' tent and blocked Linus' way.

"Don't bother me, old man. I'll help you get the table."

No matter what Linus was thinking, Leon took the initiative and walked into the tent. He took out a small table and placed it in front of Linus.

Then, without waiting for Linus to speak, Leon took out all the breakfast prepared in the system backpack to please Linus.

Three plates of delicious food, each with its own unique characteristics, were gathered in a triangle shape on the small table. They were steaming hot and the aroma filled the air, instantly melting Linus's originally somewhat resistant expression.

"It smells pretty good."

Linus couldn't help but sigh as he moved his nose and sniffed the fragrance in the air.

"It tastes better. You eat first, old man."

Leon hurriedly took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Linus, but Linus did not rush to take the chopsticks. Instead, he stared at Leon and asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, tell me what you want to do first."

"Look at what you're saying. What can I do? I simply want to honor you. After all, I made a little too much this morning, so I brought it to you to try. Don't think too much about it. Just think of it as the strawberries I gave you last time to satisfy your craving. It's nothing serious."

Leon explained to Linus with a smile, and at the same time stuffed the chopsticks into Linus's hand.

Seeing that Linus still had no intention of taking the chopsticks, Leon didn't rush and directly suggested: "How about I feed you?"

"Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Faced with Lyon's flattering attitude, Linus was a little overwhelmed, and finally took the chopsticks and compromised.

No matter whether Lyon was busy or not, Linus had to eat this breakfast. On the one hand, he was really hungry, and on the other hand, he knew that what Lyon cooked was delicious.

On the other hand, Leon's flattering look did seem a bit strange. It seemed that something big had happened, and Linus felt that he could not sit idly by.

Linus, who has come to terms with it, naturally won't worry about it anymore.

Lyon watched Linus enjoying his breakfast with a smile on his face, and did not speak in a hurry. When Linus had almost finished eating and put down his chopsticks, Lyon slowly spoke.

"How does it taste, old man?"

"Very good." Linus praised sincerely.

He really likes the food cooked by Lyon. Although it is not exquisite, it is surprisingly delicious. The ingredients may be very ordinary, but the cooked product has a very precious flavor of home. The older people are, the rarer they are for this special taste.

"After all, it's produced in the Red Star Farm, so of course it tastes good." Lyon answered in a Spring and Autumn style.

Although all the ingredients here are not grown or raised by Red Star Farm itself, they are indeed cooked in the kitchen of Red Star Farm, so what Lyon said is not a lie.

Linus did not say anything, quietly waiting for the second half of Leon's sentence.

Sure enough, Leon continued, "The old man would probably feel bad if such delicious food disappeared because the farm was abandoned." "Yeah." Linus nodded at this moment, then complained, "Tell me, how much do you want to borrow? Just tell me the amount, and I'll have someone deliver it to you."

Hearing this, Leon was stunned for a moment, then realized that Linus had misunderstood.

"Old man, you are wrong. I am not short of money."

"Not short of money? Then what do you want to do?" Lyon's answer made Linus a little confused. After all, Lyon's words and gesture seemed like he wanted to borrow money. Now that he said he was not short of money, why was Lyon being so flattering?
"We're going to the Elemental City tomorrow with Mage Rasmodes. We can return on the same day, but you know I'm a curious person. Rasmodes plans to stay in the Elemental City for three days, and I want to stay longer to see everything there is to see. So, I'd like to ask you to take care of the crops and chicken coop on my farm for a few days.

I've been in Stardew Valley for over two months now, and I haven't been out much. I'm really feeling a bit suffocated. Can you give me a chance?"

Leon immediately explained his true thoughts.

"That's it?" Linus looked at Leon speechlessly and asked back.

"That's it." Leon nodded.

"Then why don't you just say no? I thought it was a big deal with all these little tricks." Linus really didn't expect that it would be just this little thing. He was really intimidated by Leon's humble attitude before.

"Ah?" Leon was surprised to hear this. He didn't expect Linus to agree so easily. He thought he would need to spend more time talking.

"I'm familiar with taking care of Red Star Farm. When your grandfather was traveling around, I was basically the one who took care of Red Star Farm. He was much more rude than you. He didn't even show up. He would just write a letter and run away, not caring whether I was willing to help or not."

Seeing Leon's confusion, Lesnar pulled Leon to sit down and explained.

"As you know, the soil at Red Star Farm is fertile, and the crops grow fast and healthily. The vitality these crops emit during their growth is also a good reward for us, the children of the forest. So I won't refuse such help that will benefit me. So, as long as you ask, I will help you if I don't have too much to do."

After listening to Linus' explanation, Lyon felt that he might have thought too much. This was also related to what Rasmodesma said, which made Lyon mistakenly think that it would be difficult to invite old man Linus for help.

"In that case, thank you first, old man. But I'm still curious, how often did grandpa ask you for help?"

Now that he knew this matter was actually very easy to handle, Lyon breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but ask one more question.

"You also want to learn from your grandfather?" Linus looked at Leon with caution. Although he was happy to help Leon look after the farm and take care of the crops and animals, Linus would not be happy if this became the norm. After all, he had his own things to do.

"No, I'm just curious." Leon assured.

"Okay, then I'll tell you, um, how to put it."

Linus breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then pondered for a moment, recalling the past before finally speaking, "Take your grandfather's last two years in Stardew Valley, for example. I spent almost 260 days of the first year taking care of the farm, and in the second year, I was even in charge of the entire farm." At this point, Linus's expression became more nostalgic and regretful. "But then the old man's body couldn't hold on any longer. Before he left the material world, he prepared a letter for you on his deathbed, and then entrusted Rasmodes and me to handle his affairs. I had originally planned to take care of the farm until you arrived.

But the old guy said that if one day you really choose to come to Stardew Valley to inherit Red Star Farm, it would be best for you to start from the beginning. If you can persist, Red Star Farm can be handed over to you without any worries. If you can't persist, it's okay, I will hand over this farm to someone else.

The chicken coop, barn, windmill, brewery and fish pond were all demolished at that time, so when you came to the farm, you saw a desolate scene. This was the first test your grandfather gave you when he asked you to inherit the farm.

"
