A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 666: She is indeed my good sister (Monthly ticket plus more)

After the call with Sophia ended, Lyon also rolled out 10 flower pots. These square flower pots were the size of foot basins, without sharp corners and quite tall. The soil inside was gray-brown and looked far less fertile than the dark brown soil on the farm.

However, the markings given by the system remained unchanged, which made Lyon quite confident.

Lyon also chose the placement of these flower pots, and placed them in the corners of various areas on the first floor.

Leon had seen the tea trees at Caroline's place, so he knew how big a mature tea tree could grow. It was probably about the size of a money tree, so there was no need to worry about it taking up too much space. It could be placed in various corners of the room as a potted green plant.

Place two next to the TV, two on the left and right sides of the door, one in the corner of the bathroom door, one under the stairs, one next to the kitchen closet, two next to the sofa in the living room, and the last one is placed at the door of the partition.

After choosing the location for the flowerpot, it’s time to plant the sapling.

Originally, Lyon planned to dig a hole and bury the soil, but it turned out that the sapling did not need these steps. He just stuck it in, and the sapling actually grew roots and penetrated into the flowerpot.

"I'm increasingly convinced that this sapling isn't an ordinary plant. It's likely from the hand of Rasmodes."

I saw the saplings' active rooting characteristics, and the very ritual-like way Caroline made the saplings that I saw last time.

Leon is now basically certain that the collection of books Caroline got from her mother was left by Rasmodesmus.

The gift from his old father showed that Rasmodesm had indeed given Caroline a lot of help in secret, but it was unknown whether he would reveal his cards in the future.

But it was not Lyon's turn to worry about these things. After planting ten tea saplings, Lyon took out the championship reward from last Easter from the box. It was a farmer's hat that could reduce the temperature of the wearer and put it on his head.

The farmer's hat is shaped like a traditional straw hat. After putting it on, Leon instantly felt that the temperature of the sun dropped sharply, and his body temperature was maintained in a very comfortable environment. It was not as obvious as air conditioning, but the effect was also significant.

Although these magic hats have only a single effect, they are really effective when used in the right occasion. This reminds Leon of the hat mouse. When he has time, he will go there and buy a few more magic hats. They will be great whether he uses them for himself or gives them to others.

With the help of the farmer's hat, Leon had the courage to ride his bike out.

Despite the devastation that night, the old bicycle under my butt still held up.

Lyon didn't feel anything wrong while riding, nor did he hear any unusual sounds. It seemed that this bicycle could be used for a long time.

Leon rode his bicycle along the dirt road and arrived at Pelican Town. Even under the scorching sun, there were still people doing outdoor activities in Pelican Town, such as Grandma Evelyn, who was watering the flower pots that had already shown signs of drying and cracking in her favorite little garden.

Seeing Leon riding a bicycle, he naturally smiled and said hello: "Leon, good afternoon, the hat you wear looks very nice, and you look more and more like a farmer now."

“Really? Thank you, Grandma Evelyn, for the compliment.” Leon stopped the car, propped one foot on the ground, and said to Evelyn cheerfully, “Grandma, pay attention to sun protection. The sun is quite strong this summer.”

“As people get older, they’re not as sensitive to high temperatures. Instead, they feel quite comfortable.” Grandma Evelyn replied with a smile.

Leon observed Grandma Evelyn's face and saw that she didn't seem to be sweating, so he didn't try to persuade her. If Grandma Evelyn was really hot, Leon would have given her the farmer's hat on his head. Although it was a bit hot, he was young and could bear it.

Now it seems that there is no need for this.

After chatting with Grandma Evelyn for a while, Leon continued riding his bicycle towards the beach. After crossing the stone bridge over the river, he chose the path on the left.

Then I got off the bike in front of the steps, put it in my backpack, walked up the steps, and after a short walk, I saw Sofia's vineyard.

At this moment, grape racks have been erected in all the planting areas of the vineyard. The racks are empty, but it won’t be long before the grape vines that have sprouted under these racks will cover the racks, and then the racks will be hung with tempting bunches of purple grapes.

However, compared to the vineyard, the most lively place is the cliff to the west of the vineyard. A group of workers wearing safety helmets, reflective vests, and bare arms and calves are clanging and banging on the iron frames. Some people are cutting suitable steel and welding them.

"It must have taken a lot of effort to carry so many things up here." Looking at the various steel bars, cables, wood and other building materials piled up at the construction site, and thinking of the steps he had just climbed, Lyon felt the hard work of these workers.

He had worked behind his father at a construction site during the summer vacation before, and knew how tiring it was to work at a construction site in this kind of weather. The steel bars that had been exposed to the sun were as hot as red-hot irons, and being exposed to the direct sunlight without any shelter was extremely torturous to one's physical strength and willpower.

So when Leon saw that there was no conspicuous pink hair in the construction site, he immediately ran to the gate of the manor and knocked on the door.

"Hi, Leon." Not long after, Sophia came over and opened the door for Leon.

"Come in and sit down. I turned on the air conditioner. It's very cool."

"Yeah." Leon entered the house and felt the coolness that was completely different from outside. He immediately asked, "Do you have any iced juice here? Lend me some and I'll buy it back for you later, or just convert it into cash."

"Yes, how much do you want?" Sophia nodded and took Leon to the big refrigerator, opened the refrigerator compartment, and revealed the bottled juice stored inside.

"I want them all. You name the price." Lyon took a quick look and saw that there were about twenty bottles. He didn't know if they were enough to share.

"Why do you need so much juice?" Sophia asked Leon in confusion.

"Send it to the workers you hired. They're working outside in the hot summer sun and exerting a lot of physical effort. Their body's water and electrolyte consumption is very high. Drinking water is useless at this time, so they have to drink something with sugar," Leon explained.

"Hahaha, is that so? But you don't need to be polite. I've already prepared everything for them. We have dedicated logistics personnel to ensure their food and water, and there's even a sunshade set up in the woods for them to rest."

Sophia smiled and comforted Leon after hearing this: “I also know that they are working hard, so I will definitely not treat them unfairly.”

"You think the same thing. Very good. You know how to be considerate of others. You are a good boss and worthy of being my good sister." Leon breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and then he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub Sophia's head. The little pink hair was quite smooth and felt great to stroke.
