A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 786 So that’s it
Clint was a homebody, Leon knew that.

Besides the blacksmith shop, the only place he appears the most is the Stardrop Saloon.

And the reason he was there was not because of greed or alcoholism, but because Emily worked there.

Now that Clint suddenly says he doesn't want to go in the short term, that's a big problem.

"You and Emily confessed?"

This was the most fitting reason Leon could think of for Clint not wanting to go to the Stardrop.

"No, I didn't." Clint quickly shook his head to deny it, his face flushed red, looking like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Why is that?" The answer was not what he expected, and Lyon was completely confused.

"Um, I can't tell you." Clint pondered for a moment, but ultimately did not reveal the reason. However, seeing how embarrassed he was, Leon felt that Clint was probably socially dead.

This instantly ignited Leon's gossip fire, and he quickly began to hint at it, but Clint was very wary of this. No matter how Leon tried to probe, he didn't reveal a single useful information.

Finally, Clint, who was annoyed by Leon's questions, pushed Leon out of the blacksmith shop and closed the door. Leon then turned around and left with some regret.

He had originally planned to go to the Star Fruit for dinner in the evening, and now he had another reason to go, so Leon immediately headed towards the Star Fruit.

Although it is not yet nightfall, it is actually evening according to the time.

The daytime hours in summer are quite long. In Stardew Valley, the sun won't set until after seven o'clock. Now it's half past six, and most people have said goodbye to a busy day and have either returned home or walked on the streets, enjoying their own leisure time.

The Stardrop Bar has become the first choice for many people after get off work. When you push the door and enter the bar, the most obvious smell in the air is the smell of wheat juice, followed by all kinds of laughter and lively conversation.

"Hi, Leon, good evening."

Emily, who was sitting at the bar and preparing drinks, noticed Leon's appearance at the first moment and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Good evening, Emily. I'd like a glass of iced juice first."

Leon nodded, then ordered a drink, looked up at today's menu, and prepared to find something to eat first.

On the menu, in addition to the usual dishes that were always available in Gus' bar, such as pasta, pizza, omelets, fish fingers, etc., Lyon actually saw a large number of barbecue options as today's special recommendation.

Grilled pomfret, grilled eggplant, grilled mushrooms, grilled potatoes.

Vegetarian barbecue makes up the majority of the choices, and there are also meat options, most of which are fish. Even for barbecue, Gus still maintains his cooking concept of only cooking white meat.

Lyon didn't care too much about this. After all, grilled fish tasted pretty good. He clicked and ordered a grilled pomfret and a grilled eel.

I added some roasted mushrooms and other vegetarian dishes, and finally a serving of pasta to serve as tonight's dinner.

Emily, who was standing by, wrote down Leon's choice and put it on the windowsill in the kitchen. Then she brought a glass of orange juice with ice cubes to Leon.

"I haven't seen you in the bar much lately." Emily took the opportunity to deliver juice and started chatting with Leon.

“I spend most of my time on the farm, just cooking my own meals,” Leon explained.

"That's right. After all, you're a great cook." Emily agreed, then continued to ask, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"I don't know, is there something going on?" Leon asked subconsciously. "The atmosphere was great when we had dinner together last time, so I want to organize one and invite everyone to my house for a party." Emily replied, "It's okay even if you're busy, just come over for lunch."

"Who did you invite?" Leon asked casually.

"Except for not finding Abigail, the personnel are the same as last time," Emily added.

"Then I will show up. If there is enough time, I will help with cooking. If not, there is nothing I can do." Leon nodded and accepted the invitation. After all, he would not be polite if he was given a free meal.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Emily couldn't help laughing when she got Leon's reply. Her smile was very sweet and she seemed to be in a good mood.

While Emily was here, Leon took the opportunity to ask: "By the way, do you know what's going on with Clint recently? He doesn't seem to be willing to come to the bar to drink."

"You mean Clint?" Emily was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, with a strange expression on her face.

"Well, how should I put it? His last experience here wasn't very good. I guess that's why."

"Can you tell me?" When Leon heard this, he knew there was something fishy and asked immediately.

"There's nothing wrong with saying it. After all, so many people saw it." Emily didn't hesitate and began to describe Clint's situation.

The cause was the rain of life that day. Because the raindrops were green, everyone was worried that this rain might bring some unpredictable and terrible problems. At Gus's invitation, most people in the town came to the bar to take refuge.

Clint was one of them, and he was the first one to arrive.

Although there were a lot of people in the bar, Clint's social anxiety made him not very good at such occasions, and no one took the initiative to talk to him, so he just drank alone to kill time.

But as he drank more and more, Clint became drunk. Just at this time, the sociable Olivia noticed this blacksmith who provided great help to her new project, so she stepped forward to communicate with Clint.

Even after drinking, Clint was still an honest man. Facing Olivia, Clint was so shy. Olivia was quite interested in such a rare honest man.

So Olivia continued to talk to Clint, teasing him intentionally or unintentionally, and using Emily as the core of the topic.

After all, Olivia, who was good at observation, had long seen that Clint had feelings for Emily.

But Olivia obviously underestimated Emily's position in Clint's heart, and the terrible consequences of an honest man being pushed to the limit. Perhaps she touched on some sore spot of Clint, but Clint got angry.

But an honest man is an honest man. Even though he was angry, he did not take action. He just looked at Olivia with angry eyes and did not do anything extreme. He did not even resist verbally, which made Olivia feel quite disappointed.

At this time, Emily, who was also present, noticed Clint's embarrassment and came to help the honest blacksmith. Clint didn't even dare to raise his head, fearing that his current appearance would give Emily a bad impression, so he planned to run away.

As a result, due to the influence of alcohol, Clint lost his balance and fell down as soon as he took a step. In a panic, he was at a loss and grabbed for objects to support himself, but there was no such thing around, and the person closest to Clint was Olivia.

Then there was an extremely bloody scene, Olivia's skirt was caught by Clint, and then nothing happened.

Anyway, the scene was extremely chaotic at that time, and even though Olivia was knowledgeable, she was still at a loss in this situation. Fortunately, the place where Clint was was remote and there were no people nearby, so Olivia's embarrassed appearance with her skirt torn was not seen by too many people.

By the time everyone reacted, Emily had already blocked Olivia with her body, helping Olivia to get out of trouble temporarily.

Clint, realizing he had created such an embarrassing situation, ran away in a panic without even apologizing.

Fortunately, with Emily's help and everyone's tacit agreement not to look over here, Olivia did not encounter a very socially mortal situation, and the matter passed.
