A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 322 Ordering a Small Bucket
Sophia looked at Yanang suspiciously after hearing this, and then asked, "Have you also eaten the Star Fruit?"

"Yeah." Leon nodded. There was nothing wrong with talking about this kind of thing.

"No wonder you knew." Sophia finally breathed a sigh of relief and then complained, "So there's not much difference between you and me. I thought you were a brave hero or wizard from a fairy tale."

"Uh" Leon was about to say something, but considering that Sophia might not understand certain areas, he didn't give her any explanation.

"Then I'll wait for your letter to notify me. I should go back."

After learning why Sofia could grow grapes in spring, Leon decided to leave. He also had to go back and contact Django to order some small barrels.

"Are you leaving now?" Sophia couldn't help but say, "I was planning to challenge you to complete the Prairie King Adventure with one life."

"Maybe next time. I still have some things to do." Leon declined the suggestion.

"Okay, see you next time." Sophia didn't force it. She left the game room with Leon, and then they left the Stardrop Salon together.

"Are you planning to go out for a walk?" Leon asked curiously as he saw Sophia going out with him.

"I guess so. I haven't been back to Pelican Town for a long time. I wanted to see how Pelican Town is different now than when I was a child." Sophia explained with an evasive look.

When Leon saw Sophia's expression, he probably guessed the purpose of her coming out. She should be going to pay tribute to her parents, but Leon did not say it clearly. He just smiled at Sophia.

"Well, I'll go back first. I had a great time playing with you today, and you're welcome back to Stardew Valley. With your vineyard here, I, the only farmer in Stardew Valley, am no longer the only one."

"Nice to meet you too, Leon. Goodbye." Sophia waved her hand and forced a smile at Leon.

Then he watched Leon ride away on his bicycle, then he looked away, looked around for a moment, and found that there were no passers-by around. Then he lowered his head and walked slowly towards the cemetery with heavy steps.

On the other side, after Leon rode his bike back to the farm, he immediately found the business card Django left for him, checked the phone number on it, and dialed it.

"Hello, who are you?" Django's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm the owner of Red Star Farm, Leon, Mr. Django. We just met this morning," Leon replied.

"Oh, it's Mr. Leon. This must be your phone number. I'll have to write it down." After learning it was Leon, Django's voice became much more enthusiastic.

"Mr. Lyon called me to inquire about the handling of giant cauliflowers, or is there anything else you want to discuss with me?"

"I'm planning to ask about the inventory situation at the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce. I've been considering developing the winemaking industry recently, so I want to order a batch of small barrels for winemaking. I wonder if you have any in stock." Lyon stated the purpose of his call straight to the point.

"Small barrels for brewing wine? Of course we do. If you are interested, I can talk to you about it." Django immediately gave an affirmative answer.

"Let's talk about it, like pricing and variety. This is my first time making wine, so I don't know much about it," Leon told Django very frankly. If it were another businessman, Leon would never reveal his inexperience, because that would be like telling others that he's a fat sheep, ready to be slaughtered.

But if the other party is the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce, Lyon doesn't need to worry about these things. This chamber of commerce has given Lyon a positive impression so far, and it should not do such a thing.

Especially when both parties have demands on each other and cooperation is beneficial to both sides, Lyon does not believe that such a large business organization as the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce would kill the chicken to get the eggs for a short-term profit.

"In that case, perhaps I should have a proper talk with you about the brewing keg."

When Django heard about Leon's situation, he immediately cleared his throat and spoke.

"There are roughly three types of kegs in our Far Travel Chamber of Commerce. One is the standard brewing keg, which has a good seal and no odor. It is the first choice of many brewers and costs 200G each. However, it can only brew a single type of wine. If you use a different fruit to brew, the residue from the previous keg may cause the wine to have a mixed taste. It is suitable for brewing with a single fruit.

A better option is oak barrels, which are the best choice for making wine.

The tannins, vanillin, oak lactones, eugenol and other compounds in the barrel will dissolve in the wine. These substances can make the wine's color more stable, the taste softer and the aroma more coordinated. Blue Moon Wine uses this kind of oak barrel, which is my most recommended winemaking barrel. The price of one is 500G.

Of course, in addition to wine, other alcoholic beverages can also be used, but the effect is not as good as wine.

The third type is a special top-grade barrel. In addition to its good sealing and no odor, the special wood it uses allows it to be used to brew other wines without cleaning after the wine is brewed, and it can ensure that the taste of the previous barrel of wine will not affect the subsequent brewing. It is suitable for alternating brewing of complex and changeable fruit raw materials. Due to the material, the price will be higher, 1200G each.

I wonder which one you plan to choose, Mr. Lyon?"

"Forget wine. Just one standard keg and one premium keg. I'll try them out first and determine which one I need. Then I'll order in bulk. Is that okay?" Lyon thought for a moment and made his choice.

"Of course, no problem. If it's convenient for you today, the things can be delivered to your farm in the evening. If it's not convenient, Mr. Lyon can also provide a time, and I will arrange for someone to deliver the things to you at a time that is convenient for you." Django answered very straightforwardly.

"Anytime is fine, just at night." Lyon was quite free. Since he could get the bucket earlier, Lyon naturally didn't plan to wait any longer.

"Okay, considering this is Leon's first time brewing, I'll also give you a brewing guide written by a master brewer in this barrel. I hope it helps you."

Django responded directly, and Django himself also provided some personal help to Lyon who wanted to study winemaking.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Django. It's a pleasure to work with you."

"Pleasant to work with."

　I have some personal matters this afternoon, so I will only update three times today.
