A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 321 Don’t ask, it’s superpowers

After thinking about it, Lyon could understand why Sofia dared to say such a thing. Blue Moon Wine was indeed very popular, and from some information he knew, this wine could be said to be the Moutai of the world's wine industry. It was expensive and famous. It was hard to imagine how rich Sofia's family background was as the winemaker of this wine.

"By the way, if you go back to Stardew Valley, what will happen to the vineyard on the outskirts of Grampton?"

Now that Sophia has returned to Stardew Valley, it means that she plans to rebuild her own vineyard and winery here, so Leon is very curious about how Sophia will deal with her previous assets after moving here.

Because this involves the key to winemaking, which is the wine barrel. Lyon is not sure whether the wine barrel used by Sophia is the same as the small barrel in the system, but if possible, Lyon still plans to purchase some from Sophia to give it a try.

After all, he is still far from the eighth level of farming required to unlock the barrels for brewing wine. This damn farming level is too difficult to upgrade.

"I gave it to Scarlett. She is my best friend. Although she doesn't know how to make wine, she loves eating grapes. So I plan to give the vineyard to her so that she can eat grapes to her heart's content." Sophia replied with a smile.

"hiss"

Leon took a deep breath when he heard this, and once again realized how strong Sophia's rich woman image was. She gave him a vineyard just to satisfy her friend's love for grapes.

"I like eating grapes, too." At this moment, Leon just wanted to say this, and then see if he could get a vineyard for free. Unfortunately, he couldn't say it.

However, he still didn't want to miss the question about the wine barrels: "Are you planning to sell those wine barrels?"

"Wine barrels? You mean small barrels? I have already disposed of those small barrels. They are too old and the sealing is not very good. I plan to order a new batch." Sophia explained.

Then she seemed to realize Leon’s idea: “Are you planning to buy some small barrels and start brewing wine?”

"Yeah." Leon nodded and replied.

"Then you can buy it directly from the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce. I ordered my small bucket from the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce." Sophia suggested.

"Oh? They still have this thing?" Lyon was a little surprised when he heard that. He really didn't expect to buy a small barrel from the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce.

"Of course, the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce has everything. As long as you want to buy something and have enough money, they can deliver the things to you." Sophia added.

"I often work with them, and I've never seen anything they can't buy, you know? I used to have trouble finding a complete set of the Pink Princess Crusader series figures on the market. Because they were limited edition, they sold out as soon as they were released. Later, when Ms. Loretta, who I have a good relationship with, found out about it, she got me a set. She's the merchant I'm working with from the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce."

"I see. Then I'll ask the people from the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce later." Lyon was overjoyed when he heard this example. If he could buy a small barrel from the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce, he could start brewing wine in advance.

Although I don’t have much fruit now, I can make juice with vegetables.

Even the various exotic juices were much more expensive than simple vegetables, and the only cost was the time. "By the way, do you really know how to make wine?" Sophia couldn't help but ask after hearing what Leon said.

"I don't understand." Leon answered very straightforwardly. In the game, all you have to do to make wine is throw the fruits into a small bucket and wait. He has never really experienced winemaking in reality.

"Then how dare you start buying kegs to brew wine?" Sophia looked at Leon in shock. "Aren't you afraid that you'll make a mess of fermented material and ruin the whole keg?"

"You can learn." Leon replied with a smile: "Anyway, I have plenty of time. As long as I am willing to learn, even if I make a lot of mistakes, I will always be able to learn, right?"

"Okay, then I wish you good luck." Sophia didn't try to persuade him further after hearing that. After all, brewing wine is not a very difficult thing. It just depends on one's talent and luck whether one can grasp the essence of it and make the wine he brews more fragrant and delicious.

"I thought you were going to say you were willing to teach me." Leon joked to Sophia.

"That's fine, but you'll have to wait a while. I have to clear the land, build the vines, and replant the grapes. I can't start making wine until it's ready for harvest, which will take at least a month and a half. Are you willing to wait?"

When Sophia heard what Leon said, she did not refuse directly. Instead, she asked Leon for his opinion.

"Sure, but I have to try it first to see where I might make mistakes, then write them down and discuss them with you. This way I'll learn faster." Leon didn't expect this unexpected gain. With Sophia's guidance, perhaps the process of learning winemaking would be much easier and more efficient.

"Well, okay. I'll let you know when I'm ready. You should have an email address." Sophia nodded, making an agreement with Leon.

"Yes, but I have a question. Grapes are supposed to be a summer fruit. If you plant them in the spring, won't they fail to grow or even rot in the soil?"

Thinking about the growing conditions of seasonal plants in this world, and the rule that plants that are not suitable for planting in the current season will wither directly after the season is over, Leon couldn't help but want to know why Sofia's grapes can be planted in spring.

"It's a secret." Sophia didn't tell Leon what she meant. Instead, she said to him mysteriously, "This world hides many secrets. When you see the other side of the world, you'll understand why I can plant grapes regardless of the season."

"Star Fruit?" Leon looked at the mysterious little girl speechlessly and asked tentatively.

"Ah! How did you know?" Sophia couldn't help but cover her mouth and asked in surprise after hearing Leon mention the Star Fruit.

"Maybe it's because I've been exposed to far more of the other side of this world than you can imagine." Leon teased her with a smirk, using Sophia's words.

Judging from Sophia's expression, he guessed correctly. If it was the special effect of the Star Fruit, Leon could understand why Sophia was able to plant grapes in spring.

This mysterious power is unreasonable. Not to mention that Sophia, who ate the Star Fruit, can grow grapes in spring, even if she said that she could grow grapes on lava, Leon would not dare to believe it.

Don’t ask why, it’s just a superpower!
