A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 307: The Masters’ Battle
When the bus arrived at the central oasis, Leon and the uncle got off the bus. After getting off the bus, Leon noticed that there was a very spacious luggage compartment under the bus.

The goods that the uncle was carrying were in this luggage compartment. In addition to the uncle, many other people on the bus also gathered near the luggage compartment, queuing up to collect their things.

In the area outside the bus was Lyon's familiar Oasis store and parking lot. Unlike the last time he came, the open space near the Oasis store showed obvious signs of renovation.

A large open space was paved with heat-resistant bricks and divided into small pieces. A simple awning was built on each piece. Obviously, these were stalls reserved for the sand people to trade.

As one of the first people to arrive at the Calico Desert today, Leon watched as half of the passengers in the car brought their belongings and scattered around the stalls to set up their stalls. The uncle who had been chatting with him all the way was sitting at the stall closest to the oasis store.

Lyon, who had already greeted the uncle in the car, naturally came over and helped the uncle set up the stall while also buying a set of crystal clear glass dishes.

These glasses are made very delicately. Not only are the shapes standard, but they are also carved with many reliefs full of desert atmosphere, such as cacti, camels and sea buckthorn.

Although it is called tableware, it is actually more like a glass work of art, and it is the kind that will not be embarrassing to display on the cabinet.

And the price is not high. It is obviously handmade, and it would cost at least three to five hundred golds outside, but the uncle only paid Lyon 140 golds, which included four bowls, two plates and two tea cups.

At this price, Lyon would have believed that the uncle was giving it to him for free, but after seeing the uncle happily counting the money, it was obvious that the uncle also felt that he had made a profit.

After counting the money, the uncle also put a handful of sand dates into Lyon's pocket. He didn't ask Lyon for money, but gave them as a gift for Lyon to try.

Lyon was not polite, because when Lyon wanted to pay, he was frightened by the uncle's frowning expression, as if if Lyon dared to pay, he would roll up his sleeves and fight with him, so Lyon had no choice but to accept this kindness.

When no one was paying attention, Lyon put the glass tableware he bought into the system backpack, then took out a sand date and put it into his mouth and began to taste it.

It has a crunchy texture, the flesh is a bit dry, and the taste is not sweet, but slightly sour, but acceptable.

"Hi, Sandy! Do you want to eat some saxaul?" Leon entered the Oasis store and looked at Sandy standing in front of the counter. He took out a handful of saxaul and asked Sandy.

“No, I’m tired of this.” Sandy waved his hand, then looked behind Leon and said with a hint of regret: “You’re the only one here.”

"Yeah, I have nothing to do, so I came here to take a look. Are you disappointed that you didn't see Emily?" Leon sat down on the chair in front of Sandy's counter and joked.

"Of course, there's nothing much to talk about with you. Emily is more interesting." Sandy answered Leon very bluntly.

"This makes me suspect that you are a lesbian. After all, I think I am quite good-looking, but you turn a blind eye to it. It's strange." Leon complained to Sandy with a smile.

"It's not like I haven't seen guys more handsome than you over the years. I've become immune to them. And if you say I'm a lesbian, I won't refute you. Girls are fragrant and soft, and they're much more comfortable to hug than you guys." Sandy replied nonchalantly.

"How's business lately? The Stardew Valley bus service has reopened, so I think you've benefited from it."

Sandy's straightforwardness made Leon dare not joke with this young-looking but possibly several generations older woman, and changed the subject to something more serious. "It's okay. Most of the customers are attracted by the stalls of the Sand People. My business is just average," Sandy replied.

"You don't seem to care about this." Looking at Sandy's indifferent expression, Leon complained.

"Of course I don't care. After all, my customers are not those tourists. So, dear farmer Mr. Lyon, would you mind taking care of my business?" Sandy asked with his chin supported by his hands and squinting his eyes, looking at Lyon.

"Let's have some carambola seeds." Leon shrugged and did not reject Sandy's suggestion.

After all, his trip here was not in vain. Now that he had money, he could naturally stock up on more carambola seeds.

At least before getting the seed production machine, if you want to get carambola seeds, the only channel is to purchase them from Sandy.

The original price of carambola seeds was 400G per piece. The discount last time I purchased them was 280G. Although Sandy also gave a discount this time, he asked for 300G per piece.

"Emily's not here, and I'm unhappy, so I can only give you 100G off."

Faced with Sandy's words, Leon did not care about it. After buying 20 batches of 200 carambola seeds, he silently planned in his heart that when he was with Emily in the future, he would definitely come to Sandy hand in hand and feed her dog food.

After accepting Leon's 6000G cash, Sandy put the money away and said to Leon, "Not bad. Last time you were so stingy with your money, but this time you're so generous. It seems your farm can now provide you with financial support."

"I make just enough money to make ends meet. It's far from what you can do to own such a big store." Leon waved his hand and put the carambola seeds into his backpack, then asked Sandy.

"By the way, I want to find a place to gamble. Any recommendations?"

That’s right, this time in addition to coming to Sandy to buy some carambola seeds, Lyon’s other plan was to meet the mysterious Mr. Qi.

"Gambling is not a good habit, but if you really want to play, you can go to Zuzu City. I can recommend you to go to an underground casino that will definitely satisfy your gambling needs." Sandy looked at Liang with disdain and added at the end.

"Isn't there anything closer? I want to take a gamble right now." Lyon rubbed his hands, looking impatient.

"Haha, don't test me. If you want to go to the second floor, just tell me directly." Sandy looked at Leon's exaggerated acting skills with a look of disgust.

"Oh, then I'll go." Upon hearing this, Leon stopped acting and happily planned to find the stairs leading to the second floor.

But just after taking two steps, Sandy's voice rang out from behind Leon: "You can go, but don't blame me for not warning you, that wooden security guard is not a vegetarian."

　Say no to gambling and drugs, start with me!
