A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 697: Poor Man
With Leon's assurance and everyone's approval, Haley didn't hesitate any longer, and the group headed together towards the coal forest.

On the way, Leon made a special trip to Joja's supermarket and bought a bunch of chilled juice and ice cream, put them in his backpack to keep them warm, and then distributed them to everyone, which made the girls cheer instantly.

Drinking cold drinks and eating ice cream in summer is definitely a pleasure, but Haley still dislikes Joja's ice cream.

"It's better than the ice cream I made. If I had known you wanted to buy this, I would have asked Alex to deliver it directly."

"What do you mean?" Lyon asked back.

"Haley has a small business that she only runs in the summer. It's an ice cream stand. She makes ice cream and then hires Alex to sell it around town. Her ice cream is really delicious and sells very well every summer. Everyone loves it."

Emily helped Haley explain.

"Oh, I see." Only then did Leon remember the ice cream stand next to the library that only appeared in the summer in the game. He didn't expect that in the real world, it would become like this.

"Then I must try it if I get a chance."

"No need to wait, I'll call Alex and ask him to send it over." Haley waved her hand, took out her cell phone and called Alex.

"Won't this bother him? Although it's not as delicious as the ice cream you make, it tastes okay now, right?" Leah dissuaded.

"I paid him. He is my employee now. He has to do whatever I tell him to do." Haley answered nonchalantly. She didn't care about the feelings of Alex, a tool. After all, if she and Alex were not familiar with each other, there would be many people rushing to do this job that only requires half a day to earn wages that others may not earn in a whole day.

"The capitalists' faces are so ugly." Lyon joked from the side.

"Then don't eat the capitalist's ice cream later." Haley rolled her eyes and complained. Then the phone was connected. She calmly ordered Alex to come and deliver the ice cream, and then hung up the phone without any hesitation.

"I originally thought that you and Alex had a good relationship, but now it seems that he is having a hard time with you." Leon also heard the conversation between Haley and Alex and was a little surprised.

"We were pretty close when we were little, but then I realized he was just a perverted playboy, so I distanced myself from him." Haley quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I only approached him because he was the only one free in town. Everyone else had their own jobs, and I didn't want to stand around like a salesperson all afternoon."

"What did I misunderstand?" Leon asked Haley in confusion.

"It's okay, I was just saying it casually." Haley looked at Leon speechlessly. She herself didn't know why she had to explain it so clearly to Leon.

"Why don't we wait for Alex to come and let him join our team?" Leah suggested.

"No."

Except for Leon, the other four girls refused at the same time.

"Okay, I just asked casually." Leah didn't expect everyone to be so resistant to this suggestion, and explained somewhat awkwardly.

As for why everyone was so opposed to Alex joining, Leah had some understanding. After all, she had been in love and had a girlfriend. As the top attacker, she was quite familiar with girls' eyes.

In this group, it seemed that except for herself, the other four girls looked at Leon with a strange look in their eyes, even though Abigail had already publicly announced that she was Leon's girlfriend. Leah was actually quite curious about the subsequent developments of this situation. After all, she had never seen such a lively scene before.

When the group reached Liuxiang, Alex also ran over with an insulated box on his back. Seeing the strange team of five women and one man in front of him, his eyes lit up.

"Haley, I brought you something, what are you doing?"

"Call me boss, and you don't have to worry about what I do. Leave your things here and you can go back. Don't forget to open the store in the afternoon, otherwise I will deduct your salary." Haley said to Alex unhappily.

"Thank you, Alex, be careful on your way back." Emily added.

Although Abigail and Sophia didn't say anything, their eyes were not very friendly.

Alex felt confused and embarrassed by the unwelcome atmosphere. He left the cooler box of ice cream and ran away.

"What a poor guy." Leon mourned for Alex in silence. After all, if he were treated like this, he would probably be so embarrassed that he would dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Alex was able to force a smile, wave goodbye to everyone and run away. He was really patient. Maybe it was because of Haley's words about deducting her salary.

Alex's arrival and departure were not something worth noting. Haley picked up the thermal box that Alex brought, and then took out the ice cream stuck in the ice pile from it, and distributed it to everyone else in turn, except Leon.

Just when Haley was about to use this as an excuse to tease Leon, Sophia took the initiative to hand the ice cream in her hand to Leon.

“Leon, I just ate, so I’ll give this to you.”

She didn't call him brother because there were so many people around and Sophia felt a little embarrassed.

"I'll give you mine too." Abigail also handed over the ice cream she got.

"I don't really feel like eating it either." Emily followed suit and handed over her ice cream.

"You already have so many people sharing with you, so I'll eat it by myself." Leah took small sips of the ice cream and licked it, watching the scene with bright eyes. It was obvious that she was enjoying herself.

Haley watched angrily as the three girls handed out their ice creams at the same time, interrupting her plan of revenge for Leon's previous teasing, but she could only watch.

"Ahem, I don't like sweet things very much. You guys can eat it yourselves." Leon also felt it was quite strange. If only Abigail handed it to him, he would have taken it.

If it's Abigail and Sophia, then there won't be much of a problem.

But if Emily was included in this arrangement, the situation would become very delicate, so to be on the safe side, he decided not to take any of them.

And the reason is very sufficient. After all, he has publicly stated more than once that he is not very interested in sweets, so this reason is quite tenable.
