A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 680 You are very talented

After walking for about ten minutes, Leon and Lewis entered the cemetery together. The space here was actually quite large, the tombstones were arranged in an orderly manner, and a lot of open space was reserved.

"Ever since the accident, Pelican Town has used up most of its funds to compensate them, so most of the miners have moved away, including the families of Peter and his team. Therefore, we are unable to directly notify their families for the time being.

But as you said, they have been in the mines for so long that they deserve to be buried in the earth, so we must bury them first."

After entering the cemetery, Lewis was in a very low mood. After all, the cemetery was not a good place, especially since it was the cemetery of Pelican Town. Many people buried there were his acquaintances, his family members, elders, etc.

“What if the families of those miners wanted to take their remains back to the area where they now live?” Lyon asked.

"No, even if they move away, they are still people from Pelican Town. Most people from Pelican Town have the habit of returning to their hometown for burial. It's a tradition." Lewis comforted.

"Shall we dig the pit?" Lyon asked as he took out five oak barrels and the only special iron box and placed them on the ground.

"Well, I'll need your help. In return, I'll treat you to lunch." Lewis said a little embarrassedly at this moment.

"Okay, you choose the place, it's just six pits." Leon didn't want to be lazy. After all, death is the greatest thing. Although he is a stranger, helping to dig a grave is also a good deed.

"Just one will do. Bury them together."

Lewis greeted Leon, walked to a tombstone at the back, pointed at the tombstone and said: “Although we haven’t found the bones, we have already erected the tombstone. This is why I said that they can be buried directly.”

Lyon looked in the direction of Lewis's finger and found that what Lewis said was right. On the tombstone, there were indeed the names of Criandre and Peter, as well as the names of the other three victims. In front of the tombstone, Lyon also saw some withered flower stems, proving that someone had once paid tribute here.

"Then I'll do it." Lyon took out his hoe and said.

"Wait." Lewis shook his head, then turned and left. A moment later, he came back with two shovels.

"The hoe isn't very useful. Use this to dig bigger and deeper so they can be buried together."

"Row."

The shovel is indeed more useful than a hoe. Lyon took it and started working right away. Lewis was not idle either, helping on the other side. Although his efficiency was not as fast as Lyon, at least he was busy.

Twenty minutes later, a two-meter-deep pit was dug out. Lewis looked at Leon, panting and sweating: "It depends on you next. I'm old and my physical strength can't keep up."

"It's okay, just something that happens naturally."

Compared to Lewis, Leon was a little dirty but didn't even sweat a drop. Seeing that the pit was dug, he went back to pack the five oak barrels and iron boxes into the system backpack, brought them back to the pit, took them out and placed them in the pit.

Then came the filling work. This time, Lyon was busy alone. Although Lewis did not help, he had other things to do.

Lewis took out a symbol representing Yuba from his body, held it in his palm, and muttered something, which was a prayer to comfort the deceased.

By the time Lyon had filled the soil back in, Lewis had just finished his prayer.

"Let's go, I'll take care of the rest. You've been busy for so long, go have a meal and take a rest." After taking a deep look at the land where the miners were buried, Lewis withdrew his gaze and called Leon to leave the cemetery together.

The two of them then went together into the Stardrop Salon, which was not too far from the cemetery, and saw Guts who was writing in the account book.

"Did you two go treasure hunting? You're covered in dirt?"

Gus joked when he saw Lewis and Leon appear and the marks on their bodies.

"No, Gus, Leon found the remains of the miners who died in the mine accident in the mine today, and we have been busy burying them." Lewis explained.

"Sorry, I don't know." Gus looked guilty and embarrassed when he heard this. Who would have known that behind a joke, there was such a heavy topic.

"It's okay, Gus, go make something to eat as a reward for our great hero." Lewis was not angry. After all, ignorance is not a crime.

"This meal is on me." After saying this, Gus went into the kitchen and started working.

Lewis took Leon to a table near the counter and said, “I will call their families later and tell them to come over. They will probably want to thank you in person for your help.”

"No, hide my news." Lyon waved his hand and refused.

"Okay." Lewis didn't force it.

Lewis then changed the subject and talked to Lyon about the situation at Red Star Farm. Lyon basically answered every question, and the conversation was pleasant, diluting the previous heavy atmosphere.

The atmosphere became much better after Gus brought a sumptuous lunch.

"It looks like those part-time fishermen setting up the crab pots are making a good profit."

Looking at the style of food on the table, Leon sighed.

French escargot, lobster soup, clam cakes, crab cakes, etc., the ingredients used are basically seafood caught in crab cages.

"Yeah, with the supply of the freshest crab pots, my menu has been enriched a lot. People in the town like it very much. Those who accept the crab pots can also make money. Everyone is happy." Gus agreed.

"That's good. This way I can give an explanation to the townspeople I called here." Lewis was also very happy. After all, he was the one who called these people here. If he failed to deliver the promised benefits, he would be embarrassed and lose his credibility.

"I just wonder if if these people make more money, someone will become jealous and invest in it, and then start a disgusting competition." Lyon was a little worried. After all, he had seen this kind of thing more than once.

When they find an industry that is profitable and has benefits, they rush into it without caring whether they are suitable or not, or whether the market is saturated. Then they compete with each other and end up hurting both sides.

"No, the employment pressure in Pelican Town is not that great, and the use of crab traps also requires relevant permits, and I am the one who issued this permit." Lewis was quite surprised by what Lyon thought of this, but he did not think that Lyon was worrying too much. Instead, he was very happy with Lyon's sharpness.

"I'm increasingly feeling that I can hand over the position of mayor to you after I retire, Leon. You're very talented."
