A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 504 A Familiar Answer

"But."

Hearing that Leon also wanted her to participate in this Flower Dance Festival, Sophia was speechless and couldn't utter the words for a long time.

Seeing that Sophia had something to hide, Leon did not ask the reason directly, but said to Sophia with a smile.

"I'll be with you then, and Abigail will be here too. We can help Gus grill skewers together. He told me a long time ago that he wants to open a barbecue stall on the day of the Flower Dance Festival."

"Yeah." Sophia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. If she was staying with acquaintances, she would feel much better.

But there was one thing that she cared about, especially since it had been emphasized by her parents.

Thinking of her parents' urging and encouragement, Sophia couldn't help but look at Leon, and happened to see Leon looking at her with a smile. At this moment, Sophia noticed that Leon's eyes were so gentle and concerned. She was very familiar with this look because she often saw it from her father.

Leon's attention also made Sophia feel at ease, and she stopped hesitating.

"I heard that all the single boys and girls in Pelican Town need to form partners to dance on the day of the Flower Dance. Can I not participate?"

"Of course." Leon nodded seriously and assured Sophia: "As long as you don't want to participate, no one can force you. I can guarantee you this."

"Ok!"

Hearing Leon's powerful promise, Sophia nodded repeatedly.

It must be said that Lyon's domineering response was really cool.

"So, this is what you came to ask?" Seeing that Sophia's expression had relaxed a lot, Leon asked.

"Yeah, thank you Leon, I should go now."

Sophia said as she was about to get up and leave.

"Have you had dinner? If not, let's go to Gus's place and eat together. It's my treat."

Leon, who was about to go out, looked at Sophia's back as she was about to leave and immediately suggested.

"No, but you go by yourself. I won't go." Sophia shook her head, then said to Leon awkwardly.

"Uncle Gus called me before I came and asked if I wanted him to bring me some food. I said I had already eaten and I wouldn't bother him. If I go with you now, Uncle Gus will know I was lying to him."

"Are you worried about causing trouble for Gus?" Lyon immediately analyzed the reason why Sophia lied.

"Well, Uncle Gus cares about my life a lot. He has been preparing lunch and dinner for me during this period. Although I pay every time, it still takes up too much of his time. After all, his tavern is so busy every day." Sophia explained.

Lyon felt quite relieved when he heard this. The old friend who entrusted his child to his care took good care of the daughter of an old friend, and the daughter of the old friend also showed care and consideration to him. This story was very heartwarming no matter how you listened to it.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. But you can't starve, why don't you eat something from me?"

"Isn't that causing you trouble?" Sophia shook her head and replied, "I'd better go back and make something for myself. I'm a pretty good cook."

"Why don't you cook in my kitchen? I'll take advantage of your reputation and taste your cooking skills," Leon suggested.

"That's no problem, but..." Sophia was still hesitant, but Leon had already pushed Sophia into the kitchen. "Hurry up, tell me what ingredients you need and I'll prepare them for you. I won't let you work in vain. I'll also help, and I'll wash the dishes after you finish eating."

Seeing Leon's expectant expression, Sophia was delighted and no longer refused. She rummaged through Leon's refrigerator and decided what to do.

But she couldn't help but complain: "There are too few things in your refrigerator."

"That's because besides the refrigerator, I have other storage devices." Leon said, opening the treasure chest beside him, taking out some of the things inside one by one and placing them in front of Sophia.

Potatoes came first, followed by the pork and beef that had not been eaten yet, as well as other vegetables such as carrots.

"Huh?" Sophia looked at the ingredients and cast her eyes in surprise at the treasure chest from which Leon took out these things. Then she went over and opened the treasure chest, only to find that it was empty.

"Have you taken them all out?"

"No, it's just this treasure chest. No one can use it except me." Leon shook his head, then took out another largemouth bass from the box.

"It's amazing! No wonder your farm is never surrounded by fences or iron gates. With this thing to store things, thieves will probably be confused when they come." Sophia exclaimed.

"I don't think a thief could get in."

Although Sophia Hailey, Abigail Lewis and others came to the farm as easily as going home and did not need Leon's permission, this might be because they came with good intentions. Except for them, everyone else basically needed Leon's consent to enter the farm.

This may have a lot to do with the barrier of Red Star Farm.

"In that case, I have to change the menu. By the way, Leon, do you like sweets?" Sophia did not continue the conversation on this topic, but shifted the focus back to dinner.

"It's okay." In fact, Leon is not fond of sweets, but it doesn't matter if he eats them occasionally.

"That's good. Everything I cook is sweet, and I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it." Sophia breathed a sigh of relief and started to get busy.

Leon assisted Sophia and found that her cooking style was quite similar to Gus's. She was very careful in handling the ingredients and would not touch pork or beef.

"When I was little, I used to hang around Uncle Gus's kitchen. Uncle Gus thought I wanted to learn how to cook, so he took me to cook. I was actually there looking for snacks."

While busy, Sophia talked to Leon about why she knew how to cook.

Leon listened to Sophia's sharing with a smile, and asked a few harmless questions from time to time, which prompted Sophia to continue talking about her childhood. The atmosphere was very good for a while, and the smile on Sophia's face never stopped. She also shared some embarrassing stories with Leon without hesitation.

Of course, in addition to herself, Sophia did not forget to inquire about Leon's childhood. Leon shared some of his childhood on Earth, which did not spoil the fun.

When Sophia officially started cooking, Leon stepped back and watched Sophia holding the spatula and cooking seriously. He couldn't help but nodded in approval.

"Very good, Sophia. You should be able to become a competent wife and mother in the future."

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Sophia took the time to turn around and rolled her eyes at Leon. “Besides, I’m still young and haven’t thought about things like love and marriage, so don’t gossip about me.”

Lyon felt that this sounded strangely familiar, but he had forgotten where he had heard it.
