A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 447 is a character
Lyon didn't believe that Lewis came just to ask this question. Since he used the eastern mountainous area as the starting point for the conversation, he must have a plan.

Sure enough, after Lewis got the confirmation, he immediately took out a document from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Leon.

"Let me take a look at this contract first. It's just an early draft and not the final terms, but I think the terms are pretty good."

"It's not comfortable standing here reading the contract. Come in and sit down."

Lyon took the contract but did not rush to look at it. Instead, he took Lewis to the wooden house, took two chairs and placed them in the shade, motioning Lewis to sit down.

Then he went to the kitchen to get the tea that Caroline sent, brewed a pot of hot tea, brought two teacups and a small table, poured most of the tea for Lewis, and then began to read the contents of the contract.

As I read the contract more deeply, all the information on the pages of the contract was taken into my mind. In addition to the contract, there was also a background check on the investor.

After reading all the content, Lyon put down the contract in his hand and spoke while looking at Lewis who was drinking tea beside him.

"You made some last-minute changes to this contract after you learned I acquired the land in the eastern area. I see a lot of it has been painted over."

"Well, after all, the eastern region originally belonged to the Joja family, so the main projects and conditions formulated were about the Joja Group. Now that the land has changed hands, it naturally has to be changed to your name. This is not a small amount of money. You can also see the rent here." Lewis replied with a smile.

"Is the investor the wealthy man from Zuzu City whom you entertained last Easter?" Lyon asked.

"Well, she's not only coming here to invest, she's also planning to settle down in Stardew Valley. I've already helped her contact Robin to build her new home in Stardew Valley. The site is on the vacant land behind George's house." Lewis added.

"This is a truly successful person. She was once a senior executive of the Joja family. She's also extremely skilled in investment and financial management. Her personal assets are among the highest in Zuzu City. I'm so happy to have such a generous woman come to live in Pelican Town."

“Oh?” Leon raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and teased Lewis: “This lady must be very charming, right? After all, she can make you so excited.”

"Ahem, it's not what you think. I just think that having such a rich man join Pelican Town will make Pelican Town develop better." Lewis knew what Lyon was hinting at and hurriedly explained, while not forgetting to joke with Lyon.

"Although this lady is single, her son is almost your age. How could I possibly be interested in her? She probably wouldn't look down on an old guy like me. On the contrary, you should have a good chance."

"A divorced rich woman is a good place to get rich overnight, but unfortunately I'm not interested." Leon had no interest in an old woman whose son was the same age as him. Wouldn't the young Abigail be more attractive? He had to find a widow. Although she was rich, she was old, and Leon couldn't afford to lose her.

Moreover, with the Red Star Farm in hand, Lyon no longer has the idea of ​​being a rich woman starving for food. Now she has a large piece of idle land. Lyon herself is a potential bachelor. Lyon is not so stupid as to compromise herself for a little money.

"By the way, I saw in the contract that she plans to rent all the vacant land for a summer camp. Is it necessary to need such a large piece of land? Are you sure she just wants to run a summer camp and not have other purposes?"

Instead of continuing to talk about the rich woman, Leon brought the conversation back to the original topic.

"It shouldn't be, and we are not blind. Its construction and development are all under our noses. If it can do something else under our observation, then I, the mayor, can retire." Lewis replied with a smile.

"I know what you're worried about, but there's absolutely no need to worry. Although she was born in the Gotlo Empire, she has actually obtained a permanent residence certificate from the Fingir Republic and spends most of her time in Zuzu City. She also has a good relationship with the governor. If there is any special purpose, the governor is not a fool and will not recommend her to Stardew Valley." Lyon didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.

He believed in Lewis's judgment. The reason he asked this was because he saw in the background check of the investor that the rich woman named Olivia was from the Gotlo Empire. This country was currently at war with the Fingir Republic where Lyon was, so Lyon would naturally have some concerns.

After all, Stardew Valley had experienced the incident with the spy and the defected library director before, and Leon was also worried that the situation would repeat itself.

"Besides what's in the contract, does she have any other requirements?"

“Yes, she plans to invite you to her housewarming party before moving into Stardew Valley.” Lewis said.

"Why?" Lyon asked after hearing this.

"It should be for her son. After all, he has moved to a new place and everything is unfamiliar to him. She seems to be planning to make you her son's first friend in Stardew Valley so that the child can integrate into the social circle of Stardew Valley. Of course, she also wants to talk to you about the planning of this summer camp." Lewis explained.

"You've already started thinking about your son's social life before he even moves in? You're quite a reliable mother." Leon breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. If that was the only reason, it would be understandable.

"It could also be for you." Thinking of Leon's teasing just now, Lewis couldn't help but add another sentence.

"Then I'll take Marnie with me to help me run the place. After all, if she sets up a summer camp, she'll probably need fresh ingredients from nearby as a food supply. The quality of the agricultural and sideline products produced by Marnie's Ranch can provide the high-quality nutrition needed by those young masters and princesses who come here to eat without any hardship."

Leon asked Lewis with a smile on his face.

"No need for you to shout. Besides you, Marnie, Pierre, John, Robin, and other local suppliers, as well as me, have all been invited. This was all arranged. After all, she's new to Stardew Valley, and if she wants to run this summer camp, local Stardew Valley merchants are an indispensable part of its construction and maintenance."

Lewis stopped joking with Leon and continued to reveal the arrangements for the banquet. Apparently, he had talked a lot with the investor before coming.

"Only these people were invited? That shouldn't be the case." Thinking of the other party's intentions, Leon felt that the scale of this banquet should not be too small.

"Of course, there are other people from Pelican Town as well. Since this is a party, it's naturally for the purpose of expanding the social circle. Basically everyone in the town has been invited, but most of them will be seated outside," Lewis added.

"It's quite a big event, isn't it? Where's the venue for the banquet?" Lyon continued to ask.

"She will invite professional banquet staff to decorate the small garden next to the old community center and hire top chefs to prepare the food for the banquet. The scale is estimated to be not much different from the winter banquet. Maybe even the governor will come to show his support." Lewis speculated.

"He made a high-profile appearance and displayed sufficient hospitality etiquette. He managed to maintain both his appearance and his inner qualities. He's quite a character."
