A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 268 End of interview
"I have two more questions. These two questions are very simple and will not take up too much of your time. I hope you can help answer them, Mr. Lyon." The female reporter hurriedly spoke after hearing this.

"Okay." The other party made it clear that there were only two questions left, and Lyon would not give him face.

"The first question is, Mr. Lyon, what are your future development plans for Red Star Farm?" the female reporter asked a serious question.

"Development plan? Basically, it's the planning of an ordinary farm, with planting and animal husbandry carried out simultaneously, cultivating high-quality crops, and perhaps adding winemaking to the ranks in the future." This question did not involve any privacy issues, so Leon's answer was sincere and real.

"Wine making? This is a very challenging industry. Are you going there with the intention of competing with Blue Moon Vineyards?" Upon hearing this, the female reporter's old habit came back.

Lyon looked speechlessly at the female reporter who loved to create topics and conflicts, but still answered.

“I don’t consider the wines produced by Blue Moon Farms as my competitors because I don’t consider making wine, so there is no competition. We are not on the same track.”

"But wine is the most popular alcoholic beverage on the market. If Red Star Farm doesn't use wine to open up the market, which type of alcoholic beverage will it choose as the main project in its winemaking plan?" the female reporter continued to inquire.

But at this moment, Leon had already stood up and reminded the female reporter: "Two questions have been answered, it's time to end."

"Uh..." The female reporter felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She wanted to continue saying something to Leon, but when she saw Leon's unfriendly look, she could only shut up in embarrassment.

Leon, who had left the interview area, found Lewis at the bar and said, "There's something wrong with this reporter. Lewis, please be careful."

"Well, don't worry, I still have some connections. I'm sure she won't cause you any trouble."

Although he was at the bar, Lewis was paying attention to the interview. As an old hand, he could naturally see what Lyon could see, so he was confident in dealing with Lyon's concerns.

"I'm sorry for not helping you promote Pelican Town." Lyon felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, he agreed to the interview just to help Lewis promote Pelican Town. Who knew that this female reporter didn't play by the rules and kept thinking about creating conflicts and topics.

"No, on the contrary, this is a good publicity. An area with a farm that can produce high-quality crops will attract many tourists, especially Yuba's believers." Lewis said to Lyon happily.

"Because the areas that can grow high-quality crops will be regarded as land blessed by Yuba?" Thinking of what Lewis had said to him before about the status and beliefs of farmers, Lyon asked back.

“Yes, you have a good memory.” Lewis nodded in confirmation.

"And I think the report will also mention that Stardew Valley has resumed bus services to the Calico Desert. Tourists interested in the Calico Desert will probably come to Pelican Town. After all, compared to the long-distance trip to Zuzu City that only takes one trip a day, the Stardew Valley bus can run seven or eight times a day."

"I'm glad you're helpful. I'll be leaving first." Lyon nodded and said to Lewis.

"Okay, leave the rest to me." Lewis said, and walked towards the female reporter.

Gus, on the other hand, complained to Leon: "It seems that you have also been given a hard time by that female reporter."

"Was she like this when she interviewed you before?" Leon asked with a frown.

"That's about right, but with Lewis' help, there weren't any problems," Gus replied with a nod. "Looks like I need to find a way to teach this reporter so she understands the true meaning of journalism," Leon said, thinking about how he could put his words into practice.

Gus understood Leon's thoughts and quickly spoke to dissuade him, "She just wants to stir up some buzz, it's not out of any malicious intent, don't do anything reckless."

"I know my limits and won't do anything illegal." Leon replied with a smile. After all, he wasn't a gangster who would kill people to vent his anger if he disagreed with someone.

"Well, that's good, that's good." Gus breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. He was afraid that Lyon would use violence. After all, he had a clear understanding of Lyon's strength.

Leon is a fierce man who can fight with a giant python in the sea and kill it without any damage. If he wants to harm an ordinary female reporter with such fighting ability, he will definitely crush her.

"By the way, how's your research on barbecue going? Do you need me to experiment with you?"

Looking at Guts's expression, Leon was speechless. He didn't know what image he had in Guts' mind, so he had to change the subject, trying to make Guts understand that he was just a harmless farmer.

"It's almost done, but I don't have any plans to launch these new special dishes for now. I feel this cooking method isn't suitable for spring, but rather for summer. However, I will add them to the buffet menu for the Flower Dance Festival and see how potential customers experience them."

When Gus heard Lyon talking about cooking, he immediately told Lyon his ideas with great interest.

"Barbecue is indeed very suitable for summer. Gus, you have a sharp eye."

Lyon nodded in approval of Gus's decision. After all, the peak season for barbecue is basically in summer and autumn. Gus is worthy of being a restaurant owner and has a keen sense of the market.

"That's right. After all, this is my job. Don't forget to come with me. I want to see the difference between the barbecue I make and the one you, the proposer, made. Maybe I can learn something new." Gus nodded and made an agreement with Leon.

"Yeah, but it's still early for the Flower Dance Festival, so you should think about Easter the day after tomorrow," Lyon complained.

"Easter is all about egg dishes, and I've been making them for years, so there's no need to prepare anything," Gus replied confidently.

"Speaking of egg dishes, I do have a good way to cook eggs. I wonder if you are interested." Upon hearing this, Leon thought of a food that he had not tried for a long time, and immediately spoke to Gus.

"Oh, what egg dish? Tell me about it." Gus's curiosity was obviously aroused, and he couldn't wait to get close to Leon and ask.

"The name of that dish is tea eggs." Leon replied with a smile, and then taught Gus how to make tea eggs.

Gus patted Leon's shoulder excitedly when he heard this: "It sounds much more interesting than boiled eggs. I have to go to the kitchen and try it."

"Good luck." Leon was very happy that Guts liked this recipe. He hadn't tasted tea eggs for a long time. If Guts could make it, he could also reminisce about this food that was once a must-have for his breakfast.

After all, this is one of Lyon's favorite egg dishes. It's a pity that he doesn't have tea leaves and five-spice powder on hand, otherwise he would have cooked a big pot for himself on the farm and put it in his backpack to eat slowly.
