A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 635 Flower Pots and Stories

In the end, Lyon was too tired to fight back and had to use Tai Chi to get rid of the matter. He took the baked matcha cake and left Pierre's grocery store in a hurry.

Although he did plan to walk into the church with Abigail, it was definitely not now because he was not ready yet, not to mention that Helena was between him and Abigail, which made things more complicated.

Fortunately, Caroline was just hinting and not forcing her. Her main purpose should be to find out Leon's attitude towards Abigail.

Caroline was quite satisfied with the result. Although Leon didn't seem to plan to get married in the short term, he was indeed sincere to Abigail. Knowing this was enough.

After escaping from Pierre's grocery store, Leon carried the packaged matcha cake and went to Grandma Evelyn's house.

Although Grandma Evelyn has white hair and a slightly hunched body, she is still in great spirits.

Grandma Evelyn, who helped Leon open the door, smiled even more happily when she saw Leon. She took Leon's arm and led him into the house.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I just baked some cookies. Come and try them."

His warm and friendly attitude was as if he treated Leon as his own grandson. After pulling Leon to sit in the kitchen, he not only brought a plate of biscuits, but also prepared a cup of hot milk.

"Grandma, don't be busy. This is enough. By the way, this is the matcha cake that Caroline prepared for you. I helped deliver it here."

Seeing that Evelyn was actually planning to make an omelet for him, Leon quickly stopped her from beating the eggs. He pulled Evelyn to sit on the chair and pushed the matcha cake on the table in front of her.

"Caroline's matcha cake is really delicious. I'll give you half of it." Seeing the familiar green matcha cake, Evelyn couldn't help but want to cut it and let Leon have a taste, but Leon stopped her again.

"I've eaten, no need."

This is not a compliment, but the truth. After all, Caroline can't just make one piece of matcha cake.

I gave Lyon a piece when I was chatting with him before. Although Lyon was not used to the taste of matcha, the matcha cake made by Caroline was indeed very good, which Lyon admitted.

"Is that so? Forget it then. It's better to eat less, otherwise it will be hard to digest. I'll pack the biscuits for you to take back and eat. Don't force yourself to eat them." After hearing Leon's explanation, Evelyn couldn't help but stand up and help Leon pack the biscuits on the plate.

Seeing this, Leon could only put the biscuits on the plate into the system backpack first: "Okay, I've put it away, you sit down for a while."

Evelyn smiled and didn't get up again, but she didn't let Leon go. She pulled him to sit next to her and looked him up and down for a long time: "Not bad, not bad. You are much stronger than when you first came. Life on the farm must be hard."

"It's okay actually, and it feels easy once you get used to it. I really like farming. It's much freer and more comfortable than working in the city." The old woman liked to chat about family matters, so Leon naturally wouldn't spoil the fun. Besides, Evelyn was really good to him, so he couldn't let the old lady down.

"If you're too busy and don't want to cook, come over to grandma's house and she'll make it for you. Don't be afraid of the trouble." Evelyn spread out Leon's palm, observing that there were no calluses on it, and she felt a lot more at ease. "Yeah, I will. By the way, grandma, did the strawberries taste good last time?" Leon asked Evelyn with a smile.

"It's pretty good, but I'm old and can't eat too much sweet food. George and I shared one, and Alex left the rest. But it tasted good. I can tell you put a lot of thought into the fields." Evelyn replied.

"I'm glad you like it. Next time when the strawberries are ripe, I'll send you some."

"Summer is almost here, and I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next year for strawberries. You have to be careful. The seasonal changes in Stardew Valley are very cruel. Crops suitable for spring planting will wither in summer. This is the law of nature, and you have to be prepared in advance."

Evelyn warned Leon seriously, "Don't plant any more, otherwise when summer comes, those seeds that haven't grown yet will be wasted."

"I know this. Many people have told me this." Leon reminded Evelyn helplessly. Many people have told him about this kind of thing, but he did not show any impatience. After all, it was for his own good.

"But if you really want to grow crops across seasons, there are other ways besides greenhouses. Wait here for me."

Evelyn patted Leon's hand and then stood up. Leon was originally planning to stand up and help her, but was rejected by Evelyn. Then, as if to show Leon that she was still strong, Evelyn actually trotted out of the kitchen, which made Leon frightened.

But Evelyn's physique was indeed excellent. Her steps were steady, not like those of an old person, and her movements were also very agile. Without making Leon wait for long, she came back with a book.

"Here, here's how to make a flowerpot. If you learn how, you can plant indoors. Just water it every day, and the crops in the pot will grow regardless of the changing seasons outside. However, this flowerpot can be compared to land, so small-scale planting is fine. If you want to grow the same as outside, it will take up a lot of indoor space. You can arrange it yourself."

Evelyn took the initiative to send Leon a book on making flower pots, which surprised Leon very much. This was the purpose of his visit, but he didn't expect that Evelyn would give it to him before he could even open his mouth.

"Thank you grandma."

Lyon solemnly took the book that recorded the making of flower pots. As soon as he received the book, Lyon heard the system prompt.

"A recipe that can be included in the crafting list has been detected. The flower pot recipe has been unlocked."

"Flower Pot: Indoors, you can grow crops of any season. Outdoors, you can only grow seasonal crops. Required: Clay*1, Stone*10, Refined Quartz*1."

With the formula in hand, Leon had accomplished the purpose of his visit, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he chatted with Evelyn for a while. After all, if he ran away after achieving his goal, he would be too ignorant of the ways of the world.

And chatting with Evelyn was very interesting, because from Evelyn's mouth, Leon learned a lot of stories about his grandfather when he first came to Stardew Valley, and many of these things made the image of his grandfather in Leon's mind clearer and clearer, and in these stories, Leon also discovered some interesting little details.
