A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 699 I’m Going to Do It
Abigail tried to persuade them, and Sophia didn't say anything. The group continued to use their fishing rods to pull the crayfish, and they were quite harmonious.

Until the bucket was filled with crayfish for the second time, Lyon put them into his backpack again. Looking at the 214 crayfish that occupied one slot in the backpack, Lyon felt that it was enough.

Six people caught this amount in three and a half hours, which was already pretty good. All of them were quite large. Leon didn't let them put the smaller ones into buckets, but threw them directly back into the river.

It’s not for sustainable development, it’s simply because it’s too small and not very interesting.

With this number, each person can get 35. Although it is not enough for a meal, it is definitely enough for everyone to try something new.

And according to Lyon's speculation, these 35 people might not be able to finish it, so he didn't plan to continue.

"Let's pack up and go to the farm. It's time to enjoy the fruits of our labor."

Having decided to stop, Leon naturally had to inform the girls.

"But I still want to play for a while." Sophia raised her hand in response. The crayfish she had just caught loosened its claws and ran away the moment it reached the shore. Now she was very unconvinced.

"Me too," Leah replied as she was enjoying the pleasure of connecting the rods.

Although the other girls didn't answer, they didn't look like they wanted to leave, which gave Leon a headache.

I looked at the time on my phone. It was 12:40. If I waited a little longer, it would be one o'clock. It would be almost lunch time.

Aren’t these girls hungry? Leon wanted to ask.

"Let's catch more for the dinner party tonight. You won't have enough time to make lunch, right?" Abigail asked.

"I'm worried that you'll be hungry, but it's really impossible to prepare lunch within an hour. After all, it's really troublesome to deal with this thing." Leon explained.

"How about this, Leon, you go to Gus's and buy some food. We'll continue. It's rare that everyone likes this activity so much, so let's have a good day." Abigail suggested.

"alright."

After Abigail said so, Leon felt embarrassed to discourage the girls' interest. Now these girls have the potential to become anglers, and fishing for crayfish is much easier and simpler than fishing. The different gains bring excitement, which is indeed easy to make people addicted.

So Leon asked them one by one what they wanted to eat so that he could prepare suitable takeout for them.

The girls were quite supportive of Leon's inquiry and plan. Although catching crayfish was indeed very fast, they would inevitably feel hungry when lunch time came. It would be great if someone could bring them food.

However, except for Abigail, most of the girls were prepared to pay for their own meals when they learned that Leon was going to buy them food, but they were all rejected by Leon.

"We're all friends. It's just a meal, it won't cost much. It would be pointless to be polite."

Faced with Leon's statement, the girls did not insist on it anymore, but the food they ordered were mostly cheaper. It was not known whether it was because the weather was too hot and they did not want to eat, or because they wanted to save money for Leon.

After deciding on the girls' menu, Leon gave his shrimp fishing rods to Abigail and Sofia and headed back to the farm. After returning to the farm, he got his bicycle, said hello to Robin, and then rode to the Stardrop Salon. "Hey, Leon, I heard you took a lot of girls out to play, so why are you here alone?"

As soon as they met, Guts started teasing Leon.

"You're well-informed." Leon was a little caught off guard by Guts's question.

"Hehe, when I went to buy groceries this morning, I met Caroline and she told me that. Emily also took a day off today. I'm sure you will hold a party for young people today. If you think you don't have enough ingredients, I can provide them for you." Gus explained.

"That's enough, but since you said so, I feel embarrassed to refuse. Can I get some spices from you?" Leon asked.

"Take whatever you like, but you have to keep my kitchen utensils and knives for me. I have guests to entertain tonight." Gus joked with a smile.

"That's definitely not the case. By the way, besides these, I also have to order some food and send it to them." Leon asked after reporting the menu chosen by the girls.

"Do you want me to help? I can cook two of these dishes."

"Hahaha, no need. You can take a rest and turn on the air conditioner. I can do it in half an hour." Gus waved his hand and went into the kitchen.

Although he was rejected, Leon still followed him into the kitchen. He was not joking before, but really wanted to get some seasonings and spices from Gus. Otherwise, it would be difficult to cook crayfish with what he had on hand.

Gus's kitchen is very large and has complete supporting facilities, especially the row of spice cabinets, which are like the medicine cabinets in a Chinese medicine clinic and basically have everything.

For example, Lyon found ginger and garlic in these cabinets. Garlic can be grown, and Lyon also grows some on his farm, but the appearance of ginger surprised Lyon a little.

"Did you get these Janggos from Janggo Island?"

In the game, Leon had only seen ginger on Ginger Island, and there was also some on Guts' side. Although the quantity was not large, they all looked quite fresh, which surprised Leon.

"You also know Ginger Island, but not many people can go there now, because Ginger Island has been closed by the Explorers Guild for almost 4 years. I heard that some dangerous ancient creatures and monsters appeared on the island. I got these gingers from a friend, the spice merchant I told you about last time." Gus chatted with Leon while preparing ingredients.

"It's very precious, right?" Leon asked.

"It's not expensive, otherwise ginger ale would have gone bankrupt long ago. You can take it if you want. I don't use it often anyway." Gus gave an example.

"Then I'll get some, and some garlic. Oh, and do you have any chili peppers? The extra spicy devil peppers, the small ones." With ginger and garlic, as well as the Sichuan peppercorns he got from Gus before, Leon felt that he was basically done making spicy crayfish. Now he just lacked a spicier chili pepper.

"Yes, they're here, but they're dried. This stuff isn't produced here, so there's basically no fresh stuff." Gus took the time to help Leon find the cabinet containing the devil's dried chili peppers and explained.

"That's just right, I want some dried chili peppers." Lyon admired these wrinkled and bright red little guys as if they were treasures. This is a good thing, but you can't put too much, otherwise your stomach and butt can't take it.
