A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 518 Strawberry
"You go, I need to rest. I lost a lot of blood this afternoon, and after all that shaking you just now, I feel a little dizzy now. Also, my anemia makes me feel quite cold. I might have to sleep wrapped in a blanket tonight."

Hearing this, Leon loosened his arms around Abigail, then pretended to be weak, half leaning against the head of the bed and said.

"Ah?" Abigail, who was originally planning to leave, stopped in her tracks upon hearing this. She immediately came to Leon, stroked Leon's cheek, looked at Leon's obviously flushed face, and asked uncertainly.

"But I don't see that you have anemia."

"That's because I'm shy, so I blushed. I'm also quite weak." Leon defended himself righteously.

"I don't believe you." Abigail rolled her eyes at Leon, and when she was sure that Leon was fooling her, she planned to leave.

But at this moment, Leon grabbed Abigail's hand. Abigail turned around and saw Leon's pitiful appearance, and immediately stopped the step she was about to take.

"Then I'll stay with you until you fall asleep."

In the end, Abigail softened her heart. No matter whether Leon was really weak or simply wanted to stay with her for a while longer, Abigail didn't want to disappoint Leon.

"But what should I do if I'm cold?" Lyon raised the corner of his mouth and continued speaking.

"I'll find a quilt for you." Abigail said, but as soon as she stood up, Leon pulled her to lie down on the bed, and then held her tightly in his arms.

"You are my quilt."

Leon's voice came to her ears, and the airflow generated by Leon's speech poured into her ears, making Abigail shiver uncontrollably, and her whole body softened.

"Don't do anything stupid." Feeling Leon's hot body temperature, Abigail threatened.

"Okay, don't worry, I will never go against a woman's wishes." Leon was very open-minded about this. After all, the meat was already in the pot and would be in his mouth sooner or later. Why rush for success? A hunter must have enough patience.

Realizing that Leon was really just hugging her without any other movements, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief: “Then go to bed early, I will leave when you fall asleep.”

"Okay." Leon nodded, then continued to hug Abigail and closed his eyes.

Abigail braced herself, ready to get up and leave once Leon fell asleep. However, perhaps because it was too warm, or perhaps Leon's bed had a tiring magic, after a while Abigail felt her eyelids begin to twitch. After a moment, Abigail obeyed her body's instinct, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Feeling that Abigail was relaxed and her breathing had become steady, Leon, who was not yet asleep, could not help but shook his head. He then tidied up Abigail's loose hair and clothes, adjusted their positions so that Abigail could sleep more comfortably, and finally rested his chin on the top of Abigail's head, smelled the pleasant smell of shampoo, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He got up early the next day, and his arms were empty again. This made Leon quite confused. He didn't understand why Abigail could always get up so early.

After getting up, washing up and going out, Leon saw the large strawberry field he had planted before, which was already full of red fruits.

"Whose good seedlings have only one strawberry hanging on each one?"

It was only when Leon got closer that he noticed that each of these vigorously growing strawberry seedlings only had one strawberry hanging on it. He was stunned.

Fortunately, these strawberries looked fantastic. Not only were they all red from top to bottom, but they were also about the size of goose eggs, even more exaggerated than those strawberries on the market that had been so-called growth enhancers. After picking one and bringing it into the kitchen to rinse it, Leon began to taste it.

It tastes a little bit sour at first, but only a little bit, and then it is all about the unique sweetness of strawberry. This little bit of sourness just enhances the overall layering and highlights the sweetness.

The strawberry itself has a soft texture and a little crispness. The flesh has a strong crumb-like feeling in the mouth and is very juicy. Even if Leon sucks hard, some of it will slip through his fingertips.

The whole strawberry tasted like this from beginning to end, with no part of it being unripe. The most interesting thing was that given the size of the strawberry, after eating one, Leon actually felt a little full.

Lyon was really amazed when he estimated that the sweetness of this strawberry was around 14.

"Good stuff."

After feeling the excellence of this strawberry, Lyon no longer complained about the yield of only one strawberry per plant. This size can also ensure that the fruit is fully ripe and full of strawberry flavor, so one fruit per plant is completely reasonable.

So Lyon bent down and began to pick them one by one. Finally, when his waist was a little sore, he completed the harvest.

Including the one he ate, there were exactly 200 pills in total. They were naturally divided into three parts in the backpack, including 142 pills of basic quality, 33 pills of excellent quality, and 24 pills of high quality.

I took out one of each of the three types of strawberries and compared them. The only difference was the color, and they were the same size.

Leon was sure that the one he had eaten before was of basic quality.

Because strawberries of excellent quality are redder, and high-quality strawberries are even a little purple in color.

Lyon took a high-quality strawberry, washed it, and put it in his mouth. He was amazed. It had a richer fruit aroma than ordinary strawberries, and the flesh was as soft as snow. There was no sourness, only pure sweetness, and it also had a little bit of milk and honey flavor.

This sweetness is not greasy, and the aroma of strawberries remains between the lips and teeth after eating it, and the air you breathe is mixed with the taste of strawberries.

I tried some excellent quality strawberries again. They were a little inferior to high-quality strawberries, but the texture and taste were much better than ordinary quality strawberries.

After a series of attempts, Lyon decided not to sell this batch of strawberries. Although these strawberries are big, there are actually not many of them. Instead of selling them for money, Lyon thinks it is better to keep them for himself.

After all, he is not short of money now, and Leon thinks Abigail should like it.

Of course, Lyon did not forget everyone else except Abigail. So after picking strawberries, watering, feeding chickens and collecting eggs, Lyon immediately got on his bike and began to share this unique spring fruit with everyone he was familiar with and friendly to.

However, this still depends on the closeness of the relationship, so when distributing strawberries, Lyon will also decide whether to send ordinary quality, excellent quality, or even high quality strawberries based on the relationship.

His first stop was Pierre's Grocery Store, which was closest to the entrance of Pelican Town.

As for the Harvey Clinic nearby? Sorry, I'm not familiar with Harvey. Although I have a good relationship with Maru, the strawberries are destined for Robin. Maru can just wait for the distribution.
