A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 582 Monster Mud

Although I don’t know if this situation is normal in the Elemental City, it has nothing to do with Lyon.

And Leon listened to advice. Not to mention cooperating with the experiment, if he saw the black cat again, he would definitely hide away from it immediately.

Fortunately, the cat did not enter the banquet hall, and most of the people he could see in the banquet hall were humans, which made Leon feel relieved.

"Just grab some food, and then you can find a place to sit and enjoy the food. This banquet is attended by some of the most important people in the Elemental City, so I don't want you to disturb others unless necessary."

Rasmodesm brought Leon and Abigail to the long dining table in the corner of the hall and gave them instructions.

"Yeah." Leon nodded. He thought so too.

"Okay, teacher." Abigail was also very obedient. She was just here to eat anyway, and having Leon by her side was enough.

After saying this, Rasmodesm quickly left the two of them and walked to the central area of ​​the banquet hall, looking for familiar people and starting to socialize.

Leon and Abigail were choosing their dinner for tonight at the long dining table.

What Rasmodes said was indeed correct. Most of the food on this buffet table was of a type that Leon had never seen before, and some of the dishes were also very unique in shape?

After all, what kind of good person can cook food into a sticky black mess with little fish jumping in it?
"What kind of meat is this and why is it pink?"

Abigail and Leon kept their distance from these quaintly shaped dishes. What Abigail asked about was a plate of meat rolls rolled into the shape of roses. It was hard to tell whether it was fish or not, but the color was indeed very pink, just like pink.

At least it looks much more tempting than the other ingredients on the table.

"Maybe some kind of fish sushi?" Leon speculated.

"Why don't you try it?" Abigail really wanted to try it, but she was a little timid because she didn't know what it was.

Leon thought for a moment, then picked up the tongs, picked up a portion from his plate, and then picked it up with a fork and put it into his mouth. He felt that since it was a banquet, the food should not be poisonous. It might be a little unpalatable, but it should not be dangerous.

When he took a small bite of this unknown pink meat roll, a faint rose fragrance bloomed from the tip of his tongue, followed by a sweet taste like honey. The meat was chewy and elastic, and the sweetness increased with each bite, making Leon frown.

"Is it unpalatable?" Abigail stared at Leon's expression and couldn't help asking after noticing his frown.

"No, it's actually quite delicious, but it's too sweet," Leon explained.

"Is it sweet?" Hearing that it was sweet, Abigail immediately became interested and took a portion for herself and started to taste it.

Abigail also loves sweets, but even so, faced with this sweet meat, she couldn't help but frown and complain, "Oh my God, this is just like concentrated honey, so sweet that it's cloying."

Although both of them complained about the sweetness of the thing, they still swallowed the part they took out. On the one hand, it was a bit rude to spit out the food in their mouths in such an occasion. On the other hand, it was also because Leon didn't want to waste food. After dining with Leon, Abigail also learned the good habit of saving food.

"It seems we still need to carefully identify it."

As Leon spoke, Abigail nodded repeatedly in agreement. Then, the two of them became much more cautious in choosing food. Fortunately, the food prepared here wasn't entirely unfamiliar to Leon. There were also some common human foods, such as hamburgers, caramel chocolate cakes, various fruit pies, pasties, cut steaks, fried French fries, and chicken legs. These became Leon's main focus.

Compared to the high-calorie foods chosen by Lyon, Abigail prefers a combination of desserts and fruits. When she encounters an unfamiliar fruit, she will show one to Lyon, and Lyon will use the system's identification ability to help Abigail introduce the taste and eating methods of this fruit.

The system always seemed very reliable when it came to plants, which made Leon sigh that if this identification ability could be developed to identify food, perhaps he would be able to safely choose those specialty foods of the Elemental City that he had never seen before.

"Can you get me some monster slime?"

Just when Lyon had finished a steak and was about to use the remaining space in his stomach to try some strange dishes he had never tasted before, a little girl dressed very simply timidly pulled the corner of Lyon's clothes and asked in a low voice.

Looking at the little girl who was only about 1.2 meters tall and had come to him at some point, Leon did not look down on her because of her clothes. Instead, he squatted down and asked gently, "What is monster mud? I don't know. Can you show it to me?"

The little girl nodded, then stood on tiptoe. Because of her height, she couldn't see much, and Leon couldn't tell where the monster mud the little girl was talking about was, so he suggested: "How about I hold you and look for it?"

"Well, that's fine." The little girl thought for a moment and agreed to Leon's proposal.

Leon gently picked up the girl, and the sudden increase in perspective allowed the girl to easily find the location of the monster mud. She pointed her finger at the sticky black thing with small fish swimming in it that had given Leon a great visual impact at the beginning.

"Is this monster mud?" Leon confirmed to the girl.

"Yes," the girl confirmed.

"Is it delicious?" Lyon couldn't help but shudder when he saw the terrible appearance of the thing, because this thing looked like a cursed potion in a witch's cauldron.

“It’s quite delicious.”

The girl nodded seriously. "This is one of the traditional delicacies of Elemental City. Many people who come to Elemental City will choose to try it."

"Okay, I'll get you one then."

Leon put the girl down, then took a new plate, scooped a spoonful from the basin of monster mud, and finally handed it to the girl.

The girl took it politely with both hands, then picked up the spoon and began to enjoy this awful thing. Seeing the girl eating happily, Leon couldn't help but be curious about the taste of this thing.

With the girl's performance, Leon was more looking forward to this thing called monster mud, so he took a spoonful for himself. When he smelled a strange fishy smell coming from the plate, Leon hesitated again.

But seeing that the little girl was almost finishing her portion, Leon comforted himself: "Maybe it's a specialty food like stinky tofu. It smells terrible, but it doesn't taste very delicious, right?"

With this mental preparation, Leon picked up the spoon and put a spoonful into his mouth. The next moment, Leon's eyes suddenly widened.

"vomit!"
