A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 302 Mysterious Seed
After saying goodbye to Marlon, Leon left the Explorers Guild.

There was nothing much to talk about between the two. After confirming that Ma Long could use two sets of equipment to allow Lyon to withstand the extreme temperature environment deep in the mine, Lyon parted ways with Ma Long.

While it was still early, Leon went to Pelican Town and Pierre's grocery store to buy some rice, flour, grain, oil and some seasonings, and then returned to the farm.

On the farm, Leon saw a few crows on the steps in front of the wooden house. His heart tightened and he quickly walked around the fields. He found that no crops had been killed by these crows, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lyon, who had just taken out his slingshot and found a stone to teach these crows a lesson, noticed a long, flat box under their feet.

Seeing this, Leon came over curiously. When the crows saw Leon appear, they flapped their wings and flew away, leaving only the box on the steps.

There was also a letter stuck on the box. There was no signature on the letter, but judging from the symbols on the wax, it should be from Rasmodesmus.

"The box contains a gift from the mermaids, and I'm delivering it to you. However, I'm not in Stardew Valley right now, so I asked a messenger to deliver it to you. Don't get me wrong, these crows aren't the kind that would eat the plants on your farm. I hope you didn't try to harm them when you found them.

- Rasmodes"

That was all the content in the letter. After reading it, Leon was sure that the things in the box were indeed for him, so he opened the box with peace of mind.

Looking at the shape of the box, Leon originally thought that it contained a sword or a painting, but when the box was completely opened and the contents were revealed, Leon was stunned.

Because what was contained inside was actually a layer of soil compressed into a plate shape.

The soil was divided into small pieces the size of mahjong tiles. After counting carefully, there were about 80 such small pieces of soil. After careful observation, Lyon discovered that there was a flat seed in each small piece of soil.

"Rich soil containing seeds: there's no telling what these seeds will grow into, but perhaps planting them in the ground and waiting for them to grow will reveal the answer."

Even the system's labels did not explain what these seeds were, but Leon inexplicably felt that these seeds were very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

But since it was a seed and was still contained in the soil, Lyon naturally knew what to do with it.

He reclaimed an area again and buried the eighty seeds with soil in the soil. Because the rain had not stopped yet, Lyon was spared the work of irrigating them, so after planting these unknown seeds, Lyon finished his work.

He thought that the mermaids would give him something as a thank you gift, such as pearls, or simply money, but he really never thought that the mermaids would actually give him seeds.

However, Lyon was still looking forward to what good things could grow from these seeds. After all, they were sent by rich people like the mermaid clan, so they should not be common crops.

It's just that these return gifts can't be shared with Krobus for the time being. Originally, Leon had planned to give half of the thank-you gift to Krobus after receiving it from the mermaids. Now that they've sent seeds, perhaps he'll have to wait until they mature before giving Krobus his share. After taking another look at the newly reclaimed land, making sure there were no problems or omissions, Leon returned to the cabin and took off his rain boots. As for the tundra boots he'd been wearing before, he'd already changed them out of the mine.

After that, Lyon basically stayed in the house watching TV. To his surprise, he saw related reports about the last interview in the replay of local news. In fact, his interview was quite standard after all, and most sensitive topics were cut out.

Only some formal interview content was left, so the article was relatively short. Lyon didn't care about this and thought it was fine this way.

The interview question about winemaking was left out, not knowing whether it was not sensitive or intentional. However, Lyon felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer, nor did he think there was anything wrong with broadcasting this part, so he stopped paying attention to it.

Lyon then watched other programs for a while until dinner time came. Then he got up, turned off the TV and started preparing dinner.

It is actually quite simple to eat alone. Mix flour and eggs into a paste, add appropriate amount of salt and oil, scoop it with a spoon as a measuring tool and put it into boiling water to cook. Then a simple meal of noodles is ready.

After eating a big pot of noodle dumplings, Lyon was full. Ever since he was taught a lesson by the porridge last time, Lyon gave up the old rule of eating less at night. Anyway, he was not worried about gaining weight.

After eating and drinking and washing the pots and dishes, Lyon turned on the TV and continued to watch it. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that he chose to go to bed.

The night passed in silence. Under the influence of his biological clock, Leon got up on time at around six o'clock, stretched briefly, and washed up. Then Leon walked out of the cabin.

The weather outside had cleared up, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth and grass. The land of Red Star Farm was dry, and it didn't look like it had been watered by rain all day.

So Lyon still has to water the plants in the field honestly. Fortunately, the water pump is still powerful. Even with the current planting scale, Lyon can still complete the watering task within ten minutes.

This made him sigh at how stupid he was for wanting a sprinkler so much. It was already the real world, but he was still thinking about reducing his burden based on the thinking in the game.

At the same time, because of the convenience of the water pump, Lyon had a new idea, which was to buy himself a tractor, not the traditional tractor with a bucket, but an agricultural tractor with a plow. In this way, he could save the process of turning the soil one by one.

I just don't know if this thing is expensive. If I have a chance, I can ask the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce. After all, the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce has left a pretty good impression on Lyon, and their channels are very wide, which can fully meet my purchasing needs.

However, since he didn't leave the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce's phone number, Lyon had to call Gus to ask for the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce's contact number.

But before that, he still had to finish feeding the chickens and his daily cave visits, and then have breakfast. After all, these were an essential part of the daily life of farmer Lyon.
