A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 610: Damn this young man!

"Okay, please come in. Welcome to Pierre's Grocery Store. We sell the best seeds and agricultural products in Pelican Town. We also offer the lowest prices and highest quality in Pelican Town."

Seeing that Leon was about to pay, Pierre helped Leon push open the door of the grocery store with a smile on his face, and then recited his usual promotional slogans.

Lyon pretended not to see this, and went to the counter with Pierre and took out the gift card.

"Wow, this is something I've never seen before. Can this thing really be used with a POS machine?"

Seeing the gift card in Lyon's hand, Pierre asked Lyon hesitantly.

"Wouldn't you know if you try it?"

Seeing that Pierre didn't recognize the card, Leon felt relieved. He was used to those guys who could recognize the meaning of the card at a glance. It was normal for Pierre not to recognize it.

In other words, Leon would feel more at ease if Pierre didn't recognize it. Otherwise, if Pierre really recognized the meaning of this card, Leon might have been taken advantage of.

"Well, although the style is a bit vulgar, it does work. You young people all like this kind of fancy things."

After swiping the card, Pierre found that he had indeed received the transfer receipt for 5000G, and he asked Leon casually.

"I don't like it very much, but this card was given to me by the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce. They find it too troublesome to mail cash, so they use this card to make payments." Leon's answer was half true and half false, but Pierre believed it without a doubt and explained to Leon as if he were an experienced person.

"I guess they're collaborating with the bank that issued this card. All big companies and organizations do this. It's convenient for them and you, too. There might be some preferential policies that benefit them. If you have time, take this card to the issuing bank and ask about it. If the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce has truly pocketed the benefits that should have been yours, you can sue them."

"I will, thank you."

Although Pierre's warning was quite different from the facts, his starting point was good, so Leon would naturally appreciate it and express his gratitude to Pierre.

"It's only because you have a good relationship with Abigail that I am willing to remind you. Otherwise, I would not easily reveal the unspoken rules of business operations to ordinary people." Pierre said proudly to Leon.

"Hahaha, really? Then I'll help move the fertilizer in return for this secret." Leon echoed Pierre's words.

"Well, that's good. Let's go to the warehouse." Pierre was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly pulled Leon towards the southwest corner of the store.

After finding the small door of the warehouse, Pierre immediately took out the key to open the door, then turned on the light, which illuminated the entire warehouse.

The warehouse is quite large, and everything is neatly arranged. It is mostly filled with groceries, and there are no vegetables or fruits to be seen.

"Look at this warehouse and you'll understand. What I said is the truth. The fruits and vegetables in the store are all fresh, and we never sell overnight goods." Seeing Leon looking around the warehouse, Pierre reminded Leon confidently.

"What do you do with the vegetables and fruits that weren't sold that day?" Lyon asked curiously.

"The farms will recycle them. For example, Marnie will be able to consume some of them. Some ranches around Pelican Town will also have people come to buy them. And some ordinary families will come to buy the leftover scraps. I'll set the price of these near-expiry vegetables much lower than during the day. Anyway, we'll all be able to sell them in the end," Pierre explained. "Oh, that's great." Hearing Pierre's words, Leon was quite surprised. After all, he hadn't expected Pierre's connections to be so wide-ranging, nor had he expected him to even care for families who couldn't bear to eat expensive fresh vegetables. It was quite humane.

"Let's move them. These are all unopened packages. There are 50 packages in a large box, which means we have to move 20 boxes."

Pierre did not continue the topic, but pointed to the large boxes piled up in the right corner of the warehouse and said to Leon.

"It's quite heavy. Each box weighs about 50kg. Let's carry it out together. I'll go in front and you can help hold it up from behind."

"Let me do it." Leon smiled at Pierre's suggestion, then pushed Pierre aside. Then he lifted the big box in front of him with one hand and weighed it. It was indeed heavy, but not much.

So Leon picked up another box with his other hand, and left the warehouse first with two large boxes of fertilizer.

Pierre, who saw this, scratched his head in confusion. He then walked over to the remaining boxes and tried to lift them. Finding it still difficult, he exclaimed, "Young people are young people. They have great physical fitness."

Then he gave up the idea of ​​moving it himself. After all, seeing how relaxed Leon looked without blushing or breathing hard, 20 boxes of fertilizer might just be a warm-up exercise for him. A guy like him who had difficulty lifting one box shouldn't make things more complicated.

Lyon was very fast and efficient. In just ten minutes, he made ten trips to the warehouse and moved 20 boxes of fertilizer.

Pierre closed the warehouse door, walked out, looked at the neatly stacked fertilizer on the back of the pickup truck, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Leon. Remember to count them when you take them back and unpack them. If there are any missing items in the boxes, make a note and come to me and I'll replace them for you."

"Aren't you worried that I'll deliberately say there's a lack of fertilizer and take yours for free?" Lyon couldn't help but remind him when he heard it.

"I trust your character," Pierre replied with a smile. "It's just a few bags of fertilizer. If you really want it, I can give you another box."

"Forget it, these are enough." After listening to Pierre's words, Lyon's impression of Pierre was refreshed. The current Pierre is really different from the image of a profiteer in the game.

"Well, come anytime if you need me. I'm always open unless it's a special day. Go back to work." Pierre nodded, then waved goodbye to Leon.

Leon politely waved to Pierre and was about to get in the car to go back, but Caroline's voice came from above his head.

"Leon! Let's have dinner together after you're done."

"No, Aunt Caroline, I'm busy for a long time today." Leon raised his head and looked at Caroline leaning on the second-floor balcony to enjoy the view, and declined with a smile.

"That's a pity." Caroline shook her head with some regret after hearing this: "Then maybe next time."

"Okay, I'll visit you in person next time." Leon responded, then said hello to Caroline, got in the car, started the engine, stepped on the accelerator and drove back to Red Star Farm.
