A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 262 Daily life

After a series of busy tones and no one answered after waiting for thirty seconds, Leon was sure that Lewis had not yet arrived home, so he hung up the phone.

Then Lyon called Gus again. This time, Lyon didn't have to wait long, as Gus answered the call almost immediately.

"Hello, this is the Star Fruit. What can I do for you?" Guts's hearty voice came from the microphone. There was no distortion at all, as if Guts was really speaking in Leon's ear.

"Hello, I'm from Joja's marketing service department. I'd like to ask if you need any fresh ingredients?" Leon said in a low voice.

"Oh, no demand. I already have a regular supplier." Gus actually believed what he heard and politely declined.

"Don't you want to listen to the supplier we chose for you? It's definitely more reliable than your current supplier." Leon continued to speak to Gus in a disguised voice.

"Joja's suppliers are basically ordinary farmers. What reliable suppliers can they be? Stop disturbing my work, or I won't mind filing a complaint against you." Gus complained bluntly, while not forgetting to threaten the 'Joja employee' on the other end of the line.

"The supplier we chose for you is Red Star Farm from Stardew Valley. Are you sure you're not interested?" Leon continued to tease Gus.

"Red Star Farm? Leon? He actually wants to cooperate with you, JOJA? Are you kidding me?" Guts didn't believe what he said and scolded angrily.

"If you're trying to trick me into placing an order, I can tell you you're overthinking it. On the contrary, I'll notify Leon and join me in suing the Joja Group for sales fraud and abuse of another's name. Young man, you've gone too far."

"Okay, stop it, Gus. It's me. I was just joking with you." Upon hearing this, Leon quickly returned to his natural voice and explained to Gus.

"Haha, it's you, Leon. No wonder. I said that no matter how shameless Joja is, they would not dare to abuse the name of a farmer. You scared me." Guts was relieved when he heard Leon's voice, and his tone became much calmer.

"Really? Sorry, I just wanted to let you know that I have contact information. If you want to find me in the future, you can call me directly." Leon explained with a smile.

"Of course. By the way, if you are too busy in the future, you can call me to order food, and I will have someone deliver it to your farm. Of course, you have to pay for the errand yourself." Guts answered happily and told Leon about the takeaway service of the Star Fruit.

"Okay, I'll hang up first. I won't disturb you anymore."

"See you."

After hanging up the call with Gus, Leon no longer planned to disturb others with the phone. After all, there was nothing to talk about.

After leaving the cabin, Leon went to the chicken coop. In the open space he had enclosed, the chicks were running around happily, occasionally lowering their heads to peck at something in the ground.

Lyon took a special glance at the pond next to the open space in the chicken coop, and found that there were no struggling or floating chicks in it, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that these little guys would jump into the water out of curiosity. Although chickens can swim, Lyon really didn't know whether the chicks could swim. If one or two chicks were lost due to drowning, Lyon would be heartbroken for a long time.

After all, each of these little chicks costs 200G, which is enough for Leon to eat the Star Fruit seven or eight times.

After watching the chicks play around for a while, Leon left the chicken coop, returned to the cabin, and began preparing dinner. As night fell, Leon visited the chicken coop again and found that there was no sound of chicks in the open space outside the chicken coop. When Leon entered the chicken coop, he saw that the little guys had returned.

After scattering a handful of rice, Leon found that the little chicks did not come over and did not seem to be hungry.

It looks like it must have found some delicious food in the soil outside during the day.

Then Leon stopped paying attention to the chicks, left the chicken coop, and returned to the kitchen to have dinner. He then brought out a chair and sat next to the kitchen, staring blankly at the stars.

This is what life in the countryside is like, working from sunrise to sunset. Without the help of various electronic devices, daydreaming is a good way to kill time, but it seems a bit lonely, giving people the feeling of being an empty-nest elderly person.

After sitting for a long time, Leon carried the chair back to the kitchen, took a shower, returned to the cabin to watch TV for a while, and waited until his hair had dried naturally before taking off his clothes and going to bed.

There was no conversation that night. When the morning sun shone into the wooden house, Leon opened his eyes naturally and started a busy new day.

Washing, eating and watering. This time, Lyon did not water all the plants, but only a small area.

When talking to Maru yesterday, Maru said that the water pump was ready and would be brought over today, so Leon left this area to test the effectiveness of the water pump.

Compared with his previous daily work, Lyon has two new tasks today. One is to go to the chicken coop to pet the chicks and feed them.

One is to go to the cave and see if the fruit bats that have already moved into the cave are planning to pay their rent.

The cave was relatively close, so Leon went to the cave first and took a look at the mushroom culture tank. The mushrooms were growing well and could be harvested again tomorrow. This time, Leon saw a purple cap among the mushrooms, which made him realize that he could harvest a purple mushroom tomorrow.

After looking at the mushrooms, Leon began to search for traces of fruit in the cave. After a round, he didn't find anything. However, when he looked up, he found that the number of fruit bats in the cave had increased.

"I'll wait for you for three days at most. If you don't pay the rent within three days, I will have to evict you physically." Leon raised his head and threatened the big bats hanging upside down, not caring whether they understood him or not. After that, he left the cave.

After that, I went to the chicken coop and found that the rice that was spilled last night had been eaten by these little guys, and some of the braver chicks had run out early, leaving only four timid chicks in the chicken coop.

When caressing each one of them, he didn't even let go of those that ran outside.

Leon also noticed that the size of these chicks seemed to have changed. They were obviously fatter than yesterday, as if they had been injected with hormones.

After touching all eight chicks, Leon reluctantly left the chicken coop.

I guess in a few days, when these chicks start to shed their down and grow real feathers, they will not feel as fluffy as they do now. It’s hard to say whether we will still be able to enjoy petting them as much at that time.
