A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 88 Pelican Town is indeed a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers
"One hundred, that's not cheap."

Lyon was a little tempted when he heard the offer, but that was all he was tempted with.

As Willy said, this was his first fish. It would be a pity to sell it, and it would be even more impossible to let it go. There was no reason to spit out the meat that was already in his mouth, so the best way to deal with it was to eat it.

Just swallowing it is a romantic way to remember it. After all, it is all one.

"Forget it, what a perverted idea."

Shaking his head to interrupt his own wandering thoughts, Leon said to Willy, "Then respect tradition and keep it for yourself. But I'm afraid I can't finish such a big fish, and I don't have any experience in cooking sea fish. Willy, how about we eat it together?"

"Okay, but I don't cook much. In fact, we can give this fish to Gus. He will definitely not waste such good ingredients. As long as we leave a portion for him, he won't even charge us for processing. I will occasionally bring fish to Gus. He also likes to eat fish." Willy suggested.

"Shall we go now? Otherwise, this halibut will become smelly if it stays out of the sea for a long time." Lyon complained as he looked at the halibut in his hand that was taking in more air than it was exhaling.

"Not really." Willy stepped forward to take the halibut and threw it into the water tank. What surprised Leon was that this water tank, which looked only the size of a washbasin, could actually accommodate a halibut that was longer than it. Moreover, after the halibut entered the water tank, it actually shrank, from half a person's height to a palm-sized pocket-sized body.

"Isn't it amazing? This is old Willy's family's secret fishing box. It's a special skill that my grandfather's grandfather learned from the mermaids." Willy showed off to Leon very proudly.

"magic."

Leon exclaimed sincerely. He thought he was already very special, but he didn't expect Willy to have talents as well. Pelican Town is indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere.

"But it's quite troublesome to make this kind of fishing box. Otherwise, I can make one for you. However, if you can collect the materials, I can also help you make it." Willy obviously did not regard Leon as an outsider. For this special family heirloom, he even planned to help Leon make one.

"What materials are needed?" Although there is a system backpack that can store live fish to achieve the same effect, Leon is always interested in this kind of mystical props.

"You need three types of gel: cave gel, sea gel, and river gel. These are needed for fishing in the corresponding waters. Gel is the essence of the water source and has very special effects. Don't throw away what you catch as garbage. You also need two aquamarines, five rainbow shells, a pearl, and two iridium ingots. I can help you with the other materials, but you have to collect these materials yourself." Willy reported the materials he needed.

"You tell me all this, aren't you afraid that I will learn it secretly?" Leon was a little touched by Willy's honesty. In order to ease this emotion, he joked with Willy.

"Hahaha, let's not talk about the other materials I haven't told you yet. You can't learn the craftsmanship required to build this kind of fishing box." Willy laughed and teased Leon, "Unless you can also get in touch with mermaids."

"A mermaid? I've never seen one before." Leon shrugged and said, "I don't know if it's really that beautiful."

"Of course, if you want to see mermaids, you can come to the docks on the nights of December 15th to 17th every winter. That's when Pelican Town hosts the Ocean Night Market Festival. Cargo ships and mermaids from all over the world appear during this time. If you want to see mermaids, you can attend a mermaid show. I promise you, the mermaids' singing will truly be unforgettable for you."

When Willy heard what Leon said, he immediately explained it to Leon.

"Then I'll definitely come and support you." Leon had remembered the festival, but he hadn't expected it to exist in real life. Furthermore, mermaids were brave enough to perform at it. It seemed the world was quite tolerant of mysterious things and beings. "Shall we continue? I'm still a dozen or so short of anchovies. You shouldn't be busy, right?" Willy asked after finishing his small talk.

"No, I plan to fish all day today." Leon replied, shaking his head.

"Then continue, haha."

Willy was very happy to hear Leon's plan, so the old man and the young man stood on the dock and started their fishing trip.

When he first went fishing, perhaps because of luck, Leon didn't have to wait long to catch a fish from the moment he cast the rod. However, after that, patient waiting became the main theme of his fishing time.

Lyon can understand this situation. If fishing is really that easy and you can catch fish just by casting a rod, then the fishery market would have collapsed long ago. If you really want to get fish on a large scale, fishing at sea is the main legitimate channel.

However, this did not dampen Lyon's enthusiasm for fishing, because the moment he caught the fish was really exciting. Feeling the fish wrestling with you in the water, watching it roll and splash when you pulled it out of the water, and the joy of finally dragging it ashore were all wonderful experiences that made people feel excited.

Perhaps this is why many anglers will not miss any opportunity to fish even if they have been empty-handed. This kind of fun is really addictive.

There were some gains, but compared to the first halibut, the subsequent fish were basically small creatures as long as chopsticks, such as anchovies and sardines. Although it was fun, these little creatures that could be easily picked up were very weak.

However, Sardine Leon specially kept one in his backpack as a sacrifice. After all, it has a place in the sea fish collection bag.

Of course, Willy didn't notice when it was put into the backpack because he was fighting with a herring at that time.

Throwing the hook into the sea again, Leon fiddled with the fishing line intermittently, trying to catch another halibut to reminisce the exciting wrestling experience, but the float was calm and there was no movement after he fiddled with it for a long time.

"I'm almost done here. It's almost noon. Let's pack up and go eat." Thanks to Lyon's help, Willy has now completed the order for twenty anchovies, six of which were contributed by Lyon. There are also four sardines and a flounder of average size in the box. Willy is helping Lyon keep track of these harvests.

"it is good."

Leon nodded, then began to reel in the line, preparing to use the Star Fruit to taste the halibut he had caught. However, halfway through the reeling, Leon suddenly felt resistance, and this resistance was different from that of catching a fish. Apart from feeling heavy, there was no resistance at all.

"I seem to be stuck."

After pulling again, Lyon had to admit that his hook was indeed hooked on a heavy object that would not move.

"It's okay, take your time, swing the rod left to right and see if you can get the hook off. If not, just cut the line. Hooks are not expensive anyway." Willy was not surprised by this situation. After all, getting hooked is the norm when fishing. After all, the environment in the water is complicated and anything can be there.
