A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 634 Tea Seedlings
"Aunt Caroline, what's wrong?"

After sitting down, Leon took the initiative to ask.

"Have you finished the tea I gave you last time?" Caroline asked.

"There's still a little left. I don't want to waste all that good tea, so I drink it sparingly." Lyon answered truthfully.

"It's okay. Come back to me after you finish drinking. I still have some." Caroline reminded Leon with a smile.

"But if you really like it, it would be best to start learning how to grow tea yourself, so that you can use it yourself."

"Yeah." Leon now understood why Caroline came to him. It turned out that she wanted to teach him the techniques of making tea seedlings.

"You are a ranch owner and a professional farmer. I think you should be able to learn how to make tea seedlings quickly, so I plan to teach you this unique skill." After Caroline said this, she stood up and rummaged through the flower stand beside her for a while, and finally found the materials for making tea seedlings.

A few green clumps of plant fibers, a few short pieces of wood, and two round seeds.

"All the materials for making tea seedlings are here: plant fibers, common wood, and most importantly, wild seeds."

Caroline lined up these things on the coffee table and explained to Leon.

"In addition to these basic materials, there is another very critical skill, which is also the most important thing in making tea seedlings."

Go ahead, Caroline began to crumple the fiber into a ball, then placed it on the table, and placed the wood on the fiber to form the shape of a five-pointed star. Finally, Caroline placed the two seeds in the center of the five-pointed star, and then slowly spoke.

"After arranging them like this, you can complete the combination by saying a secret password. Remember, the password is: #@￥!%!#!"

This strange command, which seemed to be made up, actually made the arranged materials begin to merge.

The fibers at the bottom turned into tree roots, and the five-pointed star made of wood began to gather and form branches. The last two wild seeds were embedded in the branches and turned into two bunches of tender sprouts.

This sudden change made Lyon complain in his heart. What can he learn from this?

Obviously, magic is involved here. As for whether the user of this magic is Caroline, or Rasmodes who noticed the situation here because of the password and took action secretly, only God knows.

Anyway, the synthesis formula and method of this sapling are obviously not something that can be explained by science.

This is a lesson for me.

"After Caroline's careful teaching, the host has learned how to make tea seedlings, and the tea seedling formula has been unlocked."

Tea seedlings (seeds): Growth takes 20 days, producing tea leaves in the last week of every month, except in winter. No watering required, and must be grown indoors. Crafting requirements: Fiber*5, Wood*5, Wild Seeds (any)*2.

Well, while it's unscientific, Leon's own system isn't exactly a scientific creation either. Now that the recipe has been unlocked in the crafting panel, Leon only needs to gather the ingredients to create the same tea seedlings. "That's it, isn't it amazing? This is a secret recipe I found in my mother's collection of books. It seems to be a family tradition. I'll teach it to you now. You should understand the meaning behind it, Leon."

After the demonstration, Caroline smiled and hinted to Leon.

"I understand." Leon naturally understood Caroline's subtext. As long as Abigail didn't despise him or give up on him, Leon could guarantee that she would always have a place in his family.

"Then do you want to try? After all, I have never taught anyone else, and I don't know if you can learn it." Looking at the freshly baked tea seedlings in her hands, Caroline was still a little unconfident.

As she spoke, she took out the same materials again and handed them to Leon, even considerately repeating her so-called command to Leon.

After getting these materials, Lyon put them into his backpack, directly opened the system's production panel, lightly clicked the tea seedling recipe icon, and then the materials in the backpack were automatically synthesized into a tea seedling. He then took it out and showed it to Caroline. It was basically the same as the tea seedling made by Caroline.

"Wow, you learned it so quickly? But why didn't you need to say the commands?" Caroline stared at the tea seedlings in Leon's hand with wide eyes. She was very confused that Leon completed the production quietly and without following her steps.

"Maybe it's because of my outstanding talent." Lyon didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say it casually.

"None of this matters. As long as you've mastered the art of making tea seedlings, you can grow tea trees at home later. Tea seedlings can't be planted outdoors, though. You have to plant them indoors in pots, and you need pots, and they're not just ordinary ones."

Caroline didn't care about these details and continued to explain to Leon the precautions for planting tea seedlings, and the most important point, which was to provide the container for the soil needed for the growth of the tea seedlings.

"I can make this special flowerpot, but I can't teach you the recipe because it's Grandma Evelyn's secret recipe. So you have to ask her for help yourself. If that doesn't work for you, I'll tell you the ingredients you need and you can bring them over and I'll make it for you. But I think Grandma Evelyn won't hesitate to teach you. She's a very kind person."

"Well, I'll ask Grandma Evelyn for advice." Leon was not worried about this. Grandma Evelyn had a good impression of him, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"Remember to bring some gifts. She likes the matcha cake I make the most. I'll make it for you later and you can bring it to her. It will be a gift as well." Caroline suggested.

"No, I can give you something else. I won't bother you anymore." Leon declined quickly. He didn't want to cause trouble for Caroline.

But Caroline stood up directly and said: "Why are you being polite to me? If nothing unexpected happens, you will be my family. It is not my duty to help you, and I will not help you for free. You have to help me water the plants in the sun room."

"Okay." Having said that, Leon felt embarrassed to refuse, so he took the initiative to find the watering can that Caroline had placed in the sunroom and watered the various flowers, tropical plants, shrubs and other ornamental plants on the shelves and on the ground in the sunroom.

Caroline also left the sunroom and was busy in the kitchen. After Leon finished watering, Caroline put the matcha cake in the oven.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Caroline slipped back into the sunroom and chatted with Leon about family matters. Most of the questions were asked by Caroline. At this moment, Caroline was really like a mother-in-law. While asking about Leon's family situation, she was also hinting that Leon might be ready to take the next step with Abigail.

　Thank you for your reward of 100 starting coins to my boss and 500 starting coins to Kankanxiangbubuyi. I hope my boss is generous and in good health.
