A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 653 Enjoying Dinner
The meat of tuna is very thick, so it feels quite pleasant to cut it, especially when the whole pieces of meat are dismembered and placed aside, their pink appearance makes Leon feel a special pleasure in his heart.

"Oh no, I'm not a pervert."

Admiring the big piece of meat, Leon shook his head and muttered, because he always felt that the pleasure in his heart was not right.

However, Lyon quickly comforted himself with the satisfaction of harvesting food, suppressed the uneasy feeling in his heart, and continued to be busy.

Soon, a whole tuna was dismembered into six parts: one large belly, two middle belly, three red meat on the upper back, and the remaining remains were a complete fish bone and the remaining fish meat on it, plus the fish head and tail.

These are actually edible, but there is not much meat. They are still quite delicious when used to make soup. However, Leon did not keep them. Instead, he packed up the leftovers and the heads and tails and threw them into the trash can.

It wasn't a waste, mainly because Lyon wasn't very good at making fish soup, and the bit of meat from the fish's neck had been removed, so there wasn't much left in the fish head that was worth eating. It felt a bit inappropriate to use it to make chopped pepper fish head, so he had to throw it away.

It’s a pity that Rhubarb is frozen, otherwise it wouldn’t be wasted if I threw it to him to chew on. There are no cats on the farm.

After dealing with these scraps, Lyon returned to the house, kept the most beautiful and fattest belly, sealed the rest and stuffed them into the treasure chest, and began to slice them.

After cutting the bright pieces of sashimi, Lyon put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. Then he prepared the dipping sauce, which was also very simple. He washed the wasabi, peeled it, and made it into a paste. He placed it in a small dish and prepared a dish of soy sauce. The dipping sauce for the tuna belly was ready.

Then wash the mushrooms, cut the chicken into pieces, light the fire, add oil to the pan, stir-fry the chicken first, then add water, pour in the mushrooms and simmer on low heat.

On another stove, cut the eggplant into thick slices and fill it with chopped and seasoned meat filling, then coat it with egg liquid and starch, fry it in a pan until golden brown, remove it, and stir-fry it. Pour in the prepared sauce and let it thicken. When the color changes from golden to soy sauce color, remove it and serve it on a plate.

Everything seemed to be in order, Lyon's movements were quick, and the two blocks greatly improved his efficiency.

As for the rice? Leon didn't cook it. Instead, he added spaghetti to the chicken and mushroom stew as a substitute for vermicelli. Although this approach might drive the Northeastern brothers and Italians crazy, these people can't educate themselves across the world, so Leon added spaghetti without any burden, and even broke the spaghetti into pieces, highlighting his independent nature.

Taking advantage of this time, Lyon washed the pan in which he had fried the eggplant boxes before, drained the water, and then heated the oil in the pan again. When the oil temperature was right, he poured in the chopped chili peppers and stir-fried them. When the spiciness came up, he poured in the shredded potatoes and started preparing the last dish.

"It's done."

The shredded potatoes were served on a plate. Tonight's dinner was almost ready. Except for the chicken and mushrooms still in the pot, the other spicy and sour shredded potatoes and eggplant boxes were put into Lyon's system backpack for preservation.

It’s a pity that the system has no consciousness of its own and is very mechanical and rigid. Otherwise, it should be criticized or praised. It would be a bit less interesting.

He glanced at the time and saw that it was just past six o'clock. Abigail hadn't come yet, so Leon stared at the pot and watched TV from a distance to kill time.

"I'm here, it smells so good."

When the chicken in the pot was almost cooked with mushrooms, Abigail seemed to push open the door and walked in on time. As soon as she entered the door, Abigail smelled the fragrance in the air. She took two deep breaths with a look of happiness on her face, then changed into indoor slippers, ran to Leon and gave him a big hug.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Wash your hands and eat."

Leon rubbed Abigail's head and reminded her.

"Eating so early?" Abigail looked at Leon in surprise and asked.

"The night is long, so we should finish eating early and move on to other activities," Leon explained.

"Bah, pervert." Abigail was no longer an ignorant girl. She immediately understood the subtext of what Leon said. She punched Leon's chest with a red face, but still went to wash her hands obediently.

Lyon began to prepare tableware. He took out the steaming eggplant box and shredded potatoes from his backpack and placed them on the table. He also placed the tuna belly and dipping sauce that were kept in the refrigerator on the table. Finally, he served the chicken stewed with mushrooms and waited for Abigail to start eating.

"Hey, sashimi? You can make that too?" Abigail was used to other foods, but the sashimi of tuna really surprised her. She didn't expect Leon to be so good at it. "It's the best tuna belly. You can eat it plain or with some dipping sauce. There are two flavors: wasabi and soy sauce. Try it first to see if you can get used to it."

Leon handed the chopsticks to Abigail and reminded her that not everyone is used to eating raw fish.

"Of course, Dad especially likes sashimi, so I like it too. The fish meat is so beautiful. What kind of fish is it?" Abigail took the chopsticks familiarly and asked Leon.

"Tuna, didn't I tell you?" Leon complained.

"Sorry, I was so focused on looking and smelling that I didn't hear you clearly. It's because the dishes you cooked are so fragrant and look so good." Abigail stuck out her tongue and acted coquettishly, not forgetting to give Leon some compliments.

"But isn't it summer yet? Where did you get the tuna?"

"Have you heard of fishing with magic bait?" Leon asked after pulling Abigail to sit down.

"No, but I can ask the teacher tomorrow." Abigail shook her head.

"Then you should find out how it's made. These baits are so expensive. If we can make them ourselves, we can save a lot of money." Leon suggested to Abigail with a smile.

"Yeah." Abigail nodded. If she could help Leon, she would naturally not refuse. After all, she and Leon were now tied together. If she could save money for Leon, she would also save money for herself.

"Try the eggplant first. This is called an eggplant box."

After chatting, it was naturally time to enjoy the food, so Leon took the initiative to pick up a piece of eggplant box for Abigail, and blew on it a few times to make it less hot before putting it on Abigail's plate.

Abigail picked up the eggplant box and put it into her mouth. The crisp sound and the sweet and sour sauce made Abigail's eyes widen.

"Wow, it's delicious. Can eggplant be cooked like this?"

"If you like it, eat more. There's plenty."

"Ah."

"By the way, try this tuna belly."

"Wow, so smooth, and with a unique sweetness and umami flavor, the taste is amazing."

"Try it with some wasabi sauce?"

"Hmm!" "It's not tasty. The taste of wasabi is too pungent and completely covers up the taste of the fish."

"Then try soy sauce. If that doesn't taste good, try plain white wine."

"Okay!" "Hey, did you take the fish fillet I took a small bite of and eat it?"

"It can't be wasted, and I really like the taste of wasabi."

"It tastes great when dipped in soy sauce. The flavor is richer, and the sweetness is more pronounced."

"As long as you like it."

　Two updates, I'm being lazy and have to go out for a while. I guess I may not be back before get off work, so brothers don't have to wait for me.
