A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 645: Morning Blossoms and Evening Plucks
In the end, Lyon persuaded Sophia to build a cable car plan that directly connects Red Star Farm and Blue Moon Vineyard. While Sophia felt regretful, Lyon was also relieved.

After all, this plan is just a matter of spending some money for Sophia, but it is a big trouble for Leon. Who knew that Sophia would make such a big fuss and be discovered by others, especially by Abigail? How should he explain it?

To say that this thing was built just to make it easier to eat for free? Leon himself didn't quite believe it, although it was indeed the case.

"Woo woo, so delicious, this shrimp tastes amazing."

“You can eat shrimp shells too.”

“Leon, try this. The blueberry sauce Scarlett mailed to me is delicious when dipped into these fried chicken breasts.”

"Actually, this thing can be called chicken fillet."

"These chicken wings are super delicious. The bones fall off automatically when you chew on them. Are they really made with Coca-Cola?"

"Yes."

While eating, Sophia not only had to deal with the food, but her little mouth was also chattering to Leon. However, seeing Sophia's cute appearance, Leon endured it and patiently answered every question of Sophia.

"Wipe your mouth, the cream is stuck on it."

Maybe Sophia was hungry, or maybe that was just the way Sophia ate. Her unladylike way of eating caused a lot of cream to splash on the corners of Sophia's mouth and cheeks, which looked quite evil, so Leon couldn't help but remind her.

"It's okay. If you wipe it now, it will get stained again later. Wipe it off after you finish eating." Sophia answered nonchalantly.

She was not afraid of embarrassing herself in front of Leon. After all, Leon had witnessed even more embarrassing things about her. Sofia had long stopped being on guard against Leon. There was no need to do so.

"Hey."

Sophia could tolerate it, but Leon couldn't. Although it was not a big problem, Leon felt that this scene was weird no matter how he looked at it, especially since it was not stained with sauce, but white sticky cream.

He immediately took out a tissue and helped Sophia wipe it clean.

Leon's movements were not fast, and Sophia noticed it completely, but she did not hide. Instead, she stretched her neck so that Leon could wipe off the residue on his face more easily. The main thing was that she was well-behaved and obedient.

After wiping Sophia's cheeks and mouth corners, Leon couldn't help but pinch her baby fat cheeks.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" This sudden intimate action made Sophia subconsciously retract her neck, and she complained to Leon with a red face.

"It's so cute that I couldn't help it. Sorry, please continue." Leon was also a little embarrassed at the moment. If helping to wipe her face and the corners of her mouth before could be considered caring, then this pinching face action did seem a bit ambiguous.

Sophia rolled her eyes and lowered her head to continue eating the chicken wings, but this time she didn't ask any questions and just ate quietly.

Leon was actually full, so he didn't touch his knife and fork. He had nothing to do anyway, so he just watched Sophia eat for fun.

Not to mention that this girl eats like a hamster, with puffy cheeks, which is very interesting and adorable. No wonder I couldn't help but pinch her just now. Sophia also noticed Leon's gaze. Leon's eyes were very clear and there was a hint of kindness in them. This made Sophia feel like a child being stared at by his parents while eating. She felt a little angry, but also felt a little relieved. After hesitating for a moment, she finally didn't let Leon retract this strange look.

But she herself never dared to look Leon in the eye again.

"You really like shrimp, don't you? How about I teach you how to make this typhoon shelter? Besides shrimp, chicken wings, chicken breasts, and crabs can all be made using the same method."

Lyon only ate four or five of the large plate of Typhoon Shelter Fried Shrimp, and the rest were eaten by Sophia. Except for a few shrimp shells left at the beginning, Sophia basically ate up the shrimp heads as well. So Lyon guessed that Sophia had a preference for this dish, otherwise the plate of fried shrimp would not be the first to be empty.

"I've seen you cook, so I know that this cooking method is not suitable for me. Next time I want to eat it, I can just bring the ingredients and ask you to help me cook it." Sophia answered confidently.

"It's quite simple." Leon looked at Sophia in confusion and complained: "What's inappropriate about this?"

"I'm afraid of hot oil." Sophia explained frankly.

"Okay, I understand. After all, this kind of thing is really dangerous." Lyon agreed. Many people are afraid of the kitchen because they are afraid of being splashed with hot oil. It is understandable.

"Then I'll bring crabs next time. I want to try what crabs cooked this way taste like. Will they be better than Gus's crab cakes?" Sophia said.

"Actually, I'm not very good at this method. I use it to cook shrimp because I used to make it often. What I'm good at is actually spicy crayfish." Lyon explained.

"What's the method then?" Sophia asked curiously.

"Well, it's hard to describe, but girls should all like this. Next time I have the chance, I'll make it for you to try. But I have to make it clear in advance that I'm only responsible for making it. If you want to eat it, you can peel it yourself." Leon reminded emphatically.

After all, although crayfish are delicious, peeling the shells is a troublesome task. Not to mention Sophia, even Abigail doesn't plan to help peel the shrimps and feed them, because once this kind of thing starts, they will become just tools for peeling shrimps in the future.

"Are crayfish the kind of shrimp that live in freshwater? Are they really delicious? Their shells are so hard, and they don't look very fat." Sophia complained as she searched her mind for information about crayfish.

"It's okay. It's mainly due to the spices. That combination of spices would be delicious even if used to make leather shoes, let alone crayfish. But crayfish are actually quite interesting. Not only are they edible, but they're also fun. Crayfishing was my favorite pastime as a kid."

Leon explained, and then suddenly thought of something: "By the way, are there crayfish in Stardew Valley all year round?"

"It seems so, but I'm not quite sure." Sophia shook her head. She only had a vague understanding of this. After all, she had just returned to Stardew Valley and had never paid attention to these things.

"I'll ask Willy later. If it's really available all year round, maybe I can take you guys to experience the fun of crayfish fishing. Then we can cook a big pot of the crayfish we caught. That would definitely be a great entertainment activity."

Leon became more and more excited as he spoke. After all, he hadn't experienced this kind of entertainment activity for a long time. Work and life took up too much of his time. Now in Stardew Valley, without so much pressure, many of the things he had wanted to do could perhaps be picked up one by one.

　I'll only update twice today. I'm so busy. Sorry.
