A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 667: Aged Blue Moon Wine
"Your hair is going to be messed up, and I was forced to call you brother before. Don't try to take advantage of me all the time." Sophia glared at Leon in dissatisfaction and protested, but did not reach out to push Leon's hand away. She was a typical example of someone who said one thing and acted another.

"It's okay, I admit it. Come, brother will give you some candy."

Leon smiled and took out maple syrup strawberries from his backpack, swinging them at Sofia and jokingly said.

"It looks so nice! Is this the new thing you mentioned on the phone?" Sophia was immediately attracted by the maple syrup strawberry. After all, it was so beautiful and sparkling like a gem.

"Try it and see if you like it. It's made with maple syrup and coated with strawberries. It's delicious." Leon handed the maple syrup strawberries to Sophia and urged her.

After Sophia took it, she opened her little mouth, but did not bite it. Instead, she stuck out her tongue and licked it. A rich maple syrup flavor instantly swept through her mouth, and the hint of burnt aroma after cooking made Sophia's eyes light up.

"It's really delicious, Leon. It's a shame that you're just a farmer. If you open a restaurant, it will definitely be no worse than Uncle Guts's Stardrop."

"Forget it. Farming makes a lot of money, and Pelican Town already has Gus's tavern and restaurant, which is enough. Opening another one will just cause more trouble. By then, everyone may not be able to make ends meet. You don't want to see your Uncle Gus go bankrupt, do you?" Leon complained.

"It's okay. You can open a restaurant just for me. I promise I won't let you suffer any loss." Sophia answered seriously.

"Then it's not called a restaurant, and this is for maintenance. I'm not that poor yet." Leon flicked Sophia's forehead in annoyance.

This girl seemed to be much more cheerful since she got to know him. She didn't know if it was because her efforts were effective, or if it was because the resurrection stone allowed her to meet her parents in her dreams and relieve her depression.

"By the way, do you still need to take medicine every day?"

"I rarely take it, maybe once a week. Harvey said that my condition and mood are very good. If I can keep it up, I won't need to take medicine at all in half a year at most." Sophia knew what Leon was talking about and shared the good news immediately.

"Not bad, not bad. Being healthy is more important than anything else. If you have any problems, don't keep them in your heart. Come to me. Even though you don't want to call me brother, I really treat you as my sister, so I won't be disgusted by your problems. Remember this."

Leon smiled when he heard that, and reached out his hand again to put it on Sophia's head and stroke it, just like comforting a cat.

"But I don't want to be your sister." Sophia murmured, but unfortunately her voice was too soft and Leon couldn't hear it at all.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask you for a few bottles of wine." Sophia asked back, shaking her head.

"Four bottles, after all, one bottle doesn't seem to be enough. The people I want to give this to are two drunkards."

Thinking of the several large oak barrels filled with wine placed directly in the guild hall of the Pelican Town branch of the Explorers' Guild, Leon knew that Marlon and Jill probably drank wine like water in their spare time. Giving each of them only one bottle would obviously seem a bit stingy.

"Is the person you are sending the gift to very important to you?" Sophia asked.

"They're not that important, just ordinary friends. The main thing is that they helped me before. Although someone paid me, it's also a favor." Leon explained.

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Sophia gave up the idea of ​​preparing a gift box of aged wine for Lyon: "Then take four bottles of ordinary Blue Moon wine." "Thank you, how much is it? I'll give it to you." Lyon nodded and said.

"It's free, just four bottles of wine. I'm giving them to you." Sophia replied with a wave of her hand.

"By the way, do you have any other quality wine besides ordinary wine?" Lyon asked, simply out of curiosity. After all, Lyon didn't believe that Blue Moon wine was so famous, and all he relied on was ordinary wine.

"Yes, there are about four grades. The cheapest is 200G of fresh wine, which has no sedimentation and is bottled directly after brewing. The better one is ordinary Blue Moon wine, which is allowed to settle for a week after being taken out of the barrel. The shipping price here is 400G, and the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce will sell it for about 5-600G.

The better ones are those that have been aged in the cellar for more than a month. The market price of these wines varies from 2000 to 5000g depending on the age.

Sophia counted on her fingers to Leon.

"What about the best fourth grade?" Lyon continued to ask.

"That's the aged Blue Moon wine gift box. These bottles have been aged in the wine cellar for a year and are adorned with flower baskets and bows. They're perfect as gifts. The wine itself is of the best quality and is usually auctioned, with prices starting at 1WG.

"The auction was the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce's idea, supposedly to build reputation and market share, so few people can buy it. But this kind of aged wine requires a long time to settle and ferment, so I don't have much in stock, so I quite like this model," Sophia explained.

"understood."

After listening to Sophia's words, Lyon almost understood the specific situation of Sophia's four-grade wine. In fact, it is also easy to understand. The four qualities correspond to ordinary, silver star, gold star and iridium star respectively.

"Actually, I was going to get you an aged wine, but since you said so, let's just get the regular one." After Sophia finished speaking, she took Leon and pushed open the door next to the kitchen, revealing the wine rack placed in the small room.

A wooden box was pulled out from the bottom of the shelf. Inside the box were 12 bottles of wine with Blue Moon wine labels neatly placed. Sophia pulled out four bottles and placed them in front of Leon.

“Thanks.” Leon put it in his backpack and thanked Sophia: “I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

"Don't worry, there's another one for you."

Sophia reached out and grabbed Leon, then walked around to the wine rack, opened a door that was close to the ground, and then took out a bottle of wine from under the door. The bottle was a circle larger than an ordinary wine bottle and had a light blue base color.

"This is?"

After taking this bottle of different wine, the system actually gave an annotation.

Aged Blue Moon Wine (Artisan Product): This aged, handcrafted wine is crafted by Sophia at the Blue Moon Winery. The unique craftsmanship and dedication of this young woman imbue the wine with a touch of destiny. (Drinking this wine temporarily boosts your luck by 3 points, lasting for 7 hours. Repeated drinking does not stack.)

　The temperature has been dropping ridiculously fast lately, so remember to add more clothes and blankets to keep warm. I was caught in this situation myself. I had to squat in the toilet when I got to the office this morning, and it took me a while to recover. I'll probably write the remaining two chapters this afternoon.
