A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 285 Straw Hat
"Hey? Is there a hat as a reward this time? I didn't know that." Abigail asked with a puzzled look on her face after hearing Leon's words.

"It's an additional reward, sponsored by a friend of mine." Lyon explained.

"It's just a hat, take it if you want it." Abigail replied nonchalantly.

"What was the reward for the champion of the previous Easter Egg Treasure Hunt?" Lyon was quite curious about the rewards besides the hat.

"It's an egg exchange voucher provided by Marnie. It can be exchanged for 60 Marnie's preferred eggs." Abigail replied.

"That's pretty good." Lyon did not underestimate the reward after hearing this.

Marnie's eggs are different from the eggs in Joja's supermarket. The price of an egg there is 5G, and 60 eggs are equivalent to 300G, which is not a small amount.

And Abigail also said that these were high-quality eggs, so the price might go up a bit. As a reward for a holiday event, it was already quite generous.

"Yes, Marnie's eggs are delicious, much better than Joja's and mine. When you exchange your eggs, I'll have to come to you to eat some eggs." Abigail agreed.

"Keep the egg voucher for yourself. I already have chickens, the kind you have at Mani's house. They shouldn't take too long to produce eggs of similar quality," Leon explained.

"But I said the reward is yours." Abigail complained, "You're not saying you don't need the voucher because you're afraid I'll eat for free."

"Of course not, it's just that my target is the hat, not the egg." Leon replied with a shrug.

"Really?" Abigail looked at Leon suspiciously.

"Really." Leon nodded helplessly, then added: "Besides, it's not up to me to decide whether you want to come and eat for free. When have you ever come over? When have I ever asked you to leave and not let you eat for free?"

"That's right, then let's split it equally. You take the hat and I take the eggs. But I want to give you half of the eggs. Otherwise, if you give me all the eggs, I probably won't be able to eat much." Abigail suggested with a smile.

"Why can't we eat much? Will Mr. Pierre sell these eggs?" Lyon thought of Pierre's business habits and couldn't help complaining.

"That's not the case. My mom always likes to boil her eggs, but she gets tired of them after eating them too much," Abigail explained. "Even though it's the healthiest way to eat eggs, I still want to try some different egg dishes."

"I understand." Leon nodded, thinking about the aerobic exercise weight loss center organized by Caroline, and understood the difference in ideas between Abigail and Caroline.

While chatting, the two had already returned to the booth. At this moment, except for Leon and Abigail, everyone else had almost returned. They must have rushed back on time.

Lyon glanced at the baskets in everyone's hands. Basically, they all had gains, but the quantity was not large. After a quick visual inspection, Lyon was sure that he should not need to wear a doll costume.

Just at this time, Lewis also blew the whistle, which meant the end of the Easter egg treasure hunt. Then it was time to count the number of Easter eggs found by the contestants.

Unsurprisingly, Abigail topped the list with a total of thirty eggs, 13 more than the second-place finisher, Jas.

When Abigail was receiving the award, Leon also observed Jas's expression. He didn't look disappointed at all. Instead, he was happily comforting Vincent, who had a depressed face.

If nothing unexpected happens, Vincent will once again become the Easter mascot who needs to wear a bunny doll costume and take photos with everyone.

He didn't feel depressed for too long, and happily ran to Lewis to get the doll costume. Obviously, he was not opposed to the fact that he would wear the doll costume and become the mascot of Easter today.

Abigail, on the other hand, walked over to Leon with a beaming smile after receiving her reward. She placed the traditional straw hat she had in her hand on his head. "Haha, I was wondering why you wanted this hat. It's a straw hat, so fitting for a farmer like you," Abigail said, walking around Leon in a full 360-degree circle.

"It suits you quite well. Not bad."

After Abigail finished admiring her, Leon took off the straw hat on his head and held it in his hand.

"Straw hat: A light and cool hat, a favorite of farmers. Even in the hottest summer, wearing it will keep you cool."

"It really is a hat with special properties. Does it have built-in air conditioning?"

Looking at the system's notes on the hat, Leon put the straw hat on his head again. He did feel his body temperature drop a little, but because the temperature in spring was very suitable, it was not that obvious.

But since the system has made such a note, Lyon probably doesn't need to worry about getting heatstroke from the scorching sun when wearing this hat in the summer.

"What are your plans next? There will be an eating contest soon to see who can eat the most boiled eggs in a short period of time. Do you want to participate?" Seeing that Leon was focusing all his attention on the straw hat, Abigail said with some dissatisfaction.

"I won't participate. This competition sounds so boring." Leon turned his gaze to Abigail and asked, "Do you want to try?"

"Forget it. I like to eat, but it's too much torture to eat the same food all the time." Abigail shook her head and complained.

"Are there any other activities later?" Lyon changed the subject after hearing this.

After all, the Easter in the game ends as soon as the Easter egg treasure hunt is completed. This is his first time to participate in the real Easter. I don’t know what plans there are after the Easter egg treasure hunt.

"There are many, such as flower arranging competitions, Easter egg rolling competitions, and rabbit sand sculpture competitions held on the beach. Do you want to participate?" Abigail explained to Leon in detail.

"Aren't you going to participate?" Lyon asked back.

"No, my main goal is the Easter egg treasure hunt. I'm not interested in anything else." Abigail replied, waving her hand.

"I think you're not good at it." Leon didn't believe that Abigail, who loved playing, could refuse these various festive games and activities. If she said she wasn't interested, it must be because she wasn't very good at these activities.

Given Abigail's competitive spirit, she would probably stay away from any event where she couldn't consistently win the championship.

"You're the only one who talks too much." Abigail rolled her eyes and prepared to run away. "I have to go help my father at the stall. Have fun by yourself. As for the feast I promised you, we'll talk about it after the festival is over."

"Well, wait for your feast." Leon teased Abigail with a smile, especially emphasizing the word "feast" and raising his voice.

But Abigail didn't answer him and left without looking back.

　Regarding the idea of ​​asking for monthly votes in the previous chapter, I would like to say that it all depends on your own wishes, because I can't make a promise to you, so I dare not force it.

　　I'm not a full-time writer, and writing is basically intertwined with my work and life. All I can guarantee is stable updates. I'll write as much as I can. I'm sorry to disappoint everyone.

　　But I am still very grateful for everyone's enthusiasm. As soon as I said I wanted monthly tickets, I found that the frequency of everyone voting for monthly tickets has increased. I really thank my brothers for their support. I love you.
