A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 659 Start of Construction

"Hi Robin, good morning, wait a minute."

Leon took back the hoe and fertilizer, walked out of the field, went back into the house to wash his hands, then took 800 pieces of wood and 450 stones from the treasure chest, put them into his backpack, and then went out.

Robin had already driven the car to the side of the chicken coop and was gesturing with a blueprint. Seeing Leon coming over, Robin asked.

"Should we choose a different location for the barn, or build it right next to the chicken coop?"

"Let's build it on the edge. We can take down the fences if necessary and then add them later." Lyon said affirmatively.

"Oh, by the way, I also found the design drawings of the swimming pool for you. Take a look at it. You can use it to transform the pond on your farm. This will save costs and ensure that the water in the pool is underground living water, which is not easy to breed bacteria." Robin handed the drawings to Leon.

Lyon took it. Although the drawings were very professional, it did not prevent Lyon, a layman, from understanding the general idea.

"Is this thing going to be troublesome to clean up later?"

Lyon was quite concerned about the gourd-shaped design of the swimming pool, which was not the square style he was familiar with. If the design of the swimming pool was too complicated, it would be difficult to clean.

"That's why I said we should renovate the existing pond," Robin explained with a smile. "Once it's built, as long as we don't dump garbage into it, we can skip the cleaning process."

"You are an expert, I will listen to you. How much is the cost and materials?" Lyon was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately became interested in building a swimming pool.

"Twenty copper ingots, 500 stones, plus 3000G of processing fees. The copper ingots are used to make copper pipes to connect to the groundwater, and the stones are used to pave the bottom and walls of the pool. This can also ensure that the water quality is clear and there is no silt. Moreover, if you don't like the swimming pool later, you can convert it into a fish pond." Robin said.

"Then let's build them together, but let's build the chicken coop and livestock shed first. There's no rush for that." Lyon nodded in confirmation.

"Please prepare the materials. I will help you upgrade the chicken coop first." Robin smiled and shook hands with Leon. He had received another order, so he didn't have to worry about having no work this month. Robin was naturally very happy.

"Okay, I'm counting on you, Robin. If you're thirsty, just go inside and get something to drink. As for lunch, I can provide it, or you can eat the food you brought. I'll leave the ingredients here for you."

He threw the wood and stones out of the bag and piled them on the ground. Leon also helped to move the wood from Robin's pickup truck using the system backpack.

After all, the money had been paid for before, and the wood essentially belonged to Lyon, so it could naturally be put into the backpack without any obstacles.

Leon's actions made Robin feel very comfortable.

"Thank you, then let's get to work."

"Ah."

After saying goodbye to Robin, Leon continued to loosen the soil and apply fertilizer in the field, while Robin also took the materials and started to upgrade the chicken coop.

In the morning, Lyon combed through all the fields and used 80 bags of fertilizer, one bag of fertilizer being enough to cover more than a dozen plots of land.

This is enough to show how big Lyon's field is now, and Lyon has a deep understanding of this.

"Back pain."

Working with a bent back all the time would be unbearable even for a waist as strong as iron. After finishing the work, Lyon immediately sat down on the steps and leaned back to relieve the soreness in his waist.

But it was all worth it. At least this time of loosening the soil and applying fertilizer gave Leon a new understanding of forest magic. He could also be sure that using this method would significantly increase the chances of producing high-quality crops when they matured. As long as he did this every few days, compared to the 40 to 50 times difference in returns from the original crops, the amount of fertilizer and time consumed was nothing.

Feeling a little better in his waist, Leon stood up and called to Robin in the distance: "Robin, do you want to have lunch together?"

"Okay." Robin, who was demolishing the wall next to the chicken coop, raised his head and responded, and Leon entered the kitchen.

If you eat light food in the morning, you need to eat something solid at noon. In addition, Robin wants to join you, and they have both been busy with physical work all morning, so Leon chooses meat for lunch.

Yesterday’s tuna sashimi was delicious, but today Lyon plans to try something different.

Seared tuna, black pepper beef cubes with potato curry rice, and finally a pot of fried pork cutlets with a fragrant oil and high calories, and a high-calorie lunch is ready.

Robin, who had already washed his hands, looked at the high-calorie lunch on the table and took a deep breath.

"Leon, you know I go to Caroline's place every Tuesday for aerobics."

"You can't harm your body just to lose weight." Leon looked at Robin helplessly and complained. It seems that no matter their age, girls have an unstoppable need to manage their body.

"Okay, I'm indeed hungry." Robin wanted to refute, but the smell in her nose was too fragrant, making her appetite and mouth water. In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and put the idea of ​​controlling her weight behind her.

"Great, Leon, your cooking is amazing."

While eating, Robin did not forget to praise Leon. She was not being polite, but expressing her praise from the bottom of her heart.

Because everything Lyon makes is really the kind that stimulates the taste buds. Simply put, it may not look very healthy, but it tastes very good.

Compared to her husband's cooking style that emphasizes scientific combinations and balanced nutrition, Lyon's style is not only more suitable for most people's tastes, but also more appetizing and satisfying.

"If you like it, you can follow this type of recipe every day. But I don't want you to deliberately extend the working period just to have a few more days of work meals." Leon and Robin joked, but it was not entirely a joke.

"Of course not. If I finish my work here sooner, I can rest earlier. The money I earn this month is enough. Once your work is finished, I can rest peacefully for more than half a month." Robin explained, waving his hand.

Although Leon's lunch was indeed delicious, Robin was more tempted by the latter than staying at home all day to think about the uses and shaping of wood.

"Just kidding. By the way, Robin, I want to install an air conditioner in the room upstairs. After all, it's not summer anymore. Do you have any good brands to recommend?"

It was a rare opportunity for Robin to be here, so Leon could consult about the air conditioner. After all, he knew nothing about the electrical appliance brands in this world, so if he wanted to buy one with a reasonable price and reliable quality, he naturally had to ask others.

"Air conditioners? What a shame! My store only has some common home appliances, not air conditioners. But you can go to Joja's and buy their air conditioners. Not only are they reasonably priced, but the quality is pretty reliable. Although Joja's food supply can't compare to Pierre's, their appliances are still very reliable. After all, that's their main business."

Robin immediately gave Leon some basic knowledge.

"And after you buy it, you don't need to spend extra money to hire a worker. I can help you install it. It's a very simple thing."

"Thank you in advance. I'll go to Joja's supermarket this afternoon."

Leon was not surprised by Robin's mention of having to spend extra money to hire an installer. This was Joja's style. There might be after-sales service, but installation would definitely not be included. Joja would not miss out on any money that could be saved or earned.
