A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 64 Amazing
In response to Gut's hint, Leon smiled and said nothing, and Guts did not ask any further questions, but changed the subject.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen and prepare something so that Penny can eat directly when she arrives. If other guests come at this time, remember to greet me."

"no problem."

Leon agreed to this small request and took out the meal money and handed it to Gus.

Gus threw it into the cash register above and below the bar without even counting it, then took off his coat, put on a chef's coat and chef's hat, and turned into the kitchen behind the bar.

Lyon, on the other hand, was bored, leaning on the bar with his chin in his hand, staring blankly.

Fortunately, such boring time did not last long. The door of the bar was pushed open, and the bell hanging on the door jingled. Leon came to his senses and turned his head, and saw Penny.

Different from the Penny we saw in the morning, this time Penny not only changed into a floral dress, but also loosened her long hair that was previously tied up and let it drape over her shoulders. Although there was no makeup on her face, her fair skin and emerald eyes were enough to make a deep impression.

"I almost didn't recognize you." Leon stood up and walked over to Penny and joked.

"Is it because it's too exaggerated?" When Penny saw Leon, a blush instantly appeared on her cheeks, and she asked Leon in a low voice with some embarrassment.

"No, it's just amazing." Leon calmed Penny down, picked a table for two, and helped Penny pull out a stool: "Please sit down."

"Thank you." Leon's gentlemanly behavior made Penny's mood, which had just relaxed, tense up again, but unlike the previous tension, she felt more of an indescribable throbbing at this moment.

Fortunately, Leon didn't do anything out of the ordinary afterwards. He just sat quietly opposite her and chatted with her about some ordinary topics, which stabilized Penny's heartbeat.

Under Leon's deliberate guidance, Penny quickly entered a normal state. When Leon asked questions from time to time, she used her abundant knowledge reserves to help Leon answer his doubts.

The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of the chat made time pass quickly. When Gus delivered all the food to the two people's table, there was only a smile on Penny's face, and no trace of the previous urgency and nervousness could be seen.

Gus's cooking skills are as amazing as ever, especially the tuber platter that serves as the main ingredient. It is chewy and contains tempting soup. While retaining the special flavor of the ingredients themselves, it is also integrated with the spices. Every bite makes people feel a strong impact on the taste buds.

This dish was very much to Penny's taste. She ate two-thirds of the large plate by herself.

"Sorry, I seem to have eaten a little too much." Penny also realized her gaffe and apologized to Leon with embarrassment.

"Why should you apologize? Isn't the point of eating to fill your stomach? If you are so hard on yourself for the sake of so-called politeness, then you don't need to apologize to me. Your body needs this apology more." Leon joked to Penny with a smile.

Penny immediately laughed when he heard this, and his expression became much more relaxed. He understood that Leon was not being polite, but really meant it.

The atmosphere returned to its previous relaxed state, and the two of them quickly finished all the food on the table, leaving only the apple juice in the cup unfinished.

This also provides an opportunity for the two to continue chatting.

"So Leon, are you still planning on going to the Calico Desert?"

Listening to Penny's question, Leon nodded: "Of course, I have some things I need to do there." "Have you planned the route?" Penny asked.

"Well, I plan to spend a day going to Zuzu City and then transferring to the Calico Desert. Although it's a bit troublesome, a day should be enough for the round trip, allowing me to return to the farm to rest." Leon replied.

He also didn't want to go to the Calico Desert so troublesomely. In fact, the fastest way to get to the Calico Desert was from Stardew Valley, but that was after the bus was repaired. In order to repair the bus, he had to complete the sacrifice of the vault.

However, the 42500 Leones needed for the vault could not be gathered in a short period of time, so this roundabout way was the only option.

As for riding a bicycle to the Calico Desert alone, Leon gave up the idea after learning the route. After all, a person made of flesh and blood cannot cope with the scorching sun and dry sand. It would be a real pain to really ride a bicycle there.

"So when are you leaving?" Penny continued to ask.

"Tomorrow." Lyon is a man of action. Once he has made a decision, he naturally wants to complete it as soon as possible.

"Then can you wait for me tomorrow morning? I want to prepare some food for you so that you can replenish your energy on the way. The first bus from Stardew Valley to Zuzu City is at 7:30 in the morning. I will wait for you at your farm before then."

After learning about Leon's plan, Penny expressed her thoughts.

"Oh, wouldn't that be too troublesome? After all, it takes quite a while to go to the farm from the town, and you have to prepare food and get up early. It's not necessary." Although Leon was very happy that Penny said that, he was a little hesitant if she really planned to do so. After all, the trouble involved was not a little bit.

Leon was a little scared. After all, it was not in vain that it was the most difficult to enjoy the favor of a beautiful woman.

"It's okay. Just consider it as a return gift for this lunch." Penny said firmly, "Whether you like it or not, I'm going to do this."

"Okay, you win." Leon was also a little helpless, but he had to accept Penny's kindness. After all, it was Penny who made the decision, not himself. He couldn't just strangle her neck and ask her not to be busy with these things.

Penny finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Then we'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Leon nodded.

After finishing this topic, the two chatted for a while, and after drinking the apple juice in the glass, they left the Stardrop Salon one after another.

Penny didn't have classes in the afternoon, so Leon sent her home. When they were at the door, Penny asked Leon to go back first and did not invite him into the house for a cup of coffee or anything. This made Leon realize that Penny's mother, Pam, was probably still fast asleep in the trailer house to sober up.

After saying goodbye to Penny, Leon rode his bike to Pierre's grocery store to buy some fresh vegetables and seasonings. He filled up a big bag of food and then rode back to the farm.

But what he didn't know was that when he was paying the bill, Abigail happened to open the door and walk out of the living area behind the business hall. When she saw Leon's back carrying a bunch of ingredients, Abigail licked her lips and spoke to her father Pierre who was checking the bill.

"Dad, I won't be having dinner at home tonight. I'm going out to eat with some friends. Remember to tell Mom."

After saying that, without waiting for Pierre to ask whether this friend was a man or a woman, he slipped out of the door and headed out of Pelican Town.
