A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 704: The Cook Does Not Steal the Grains
"Just kidding, don't run away, help me bring the noodles cooked in the pot in the kitchen."

Looking at Abigail's departing back, Leon hurriedly shouted.

Abigail said nothing, but raised her fist and went into the house.

After a while, someone came out, but it was not Abigail, but Sophia.

"Why did you come out? Why don't you take a rest?" Leon was quite surprised to see Sophia coming out with a soup pot for cooking noodles.

Sophia shook her head. "I feel much better now. It might have been too hot this afternoon, but now I'm feeling better."

"Okay, give me the pot, and then tell them to prepare to eat. Oh, and get me some plates, big ones."

Leon took the soup pot and reminded Sophia.

"Okay." Sophia handed the soup pot to Leon obediently and went back.

After Sophia left, Leon glanced at the window of the house next to him inconspicuously. Although the glass was one-way glass and Leon could not see what was going on inside the house, his intuition told him that Abigail should be peeking from behind the window.

After all, he asked Abigail to bring the soup pot, but it was Sophia who came. There was no trick here, and Leon was the first one who didn't believe it.

But these are minor issues. Lyon himself has no special feelings for Sophia. As the saying goes, a man of integrity fears no slander. The main point is to be calm.

Take out the cooked noodles from the pot and spread them on the crayfish in the pot. Cover the pot and shake it upside down, flip the top layer of noodles directly to the bottom of the pot, add a little noodle soup into the pot, cover the pot again, take out some firewood from the fire pit, reduce the fire, and let the noodles simmer for a while, so that it will be easier for it to absorb the flavor of the soup and crayfish.

When the plates were delivered, someone else came, this time it was Emily.

"There's no place to put it here. Let me hold it for you." Because there was only a big iron pot and a tripod fire pit outside, Emily, who brought the plate, stood aside holding the plate and waiting for the moment when Leon would use it.

“No need.” Leon explained with a smile, and then Emily felt her hand lighten and the plate disappeared.

"Should I say this is your gentlemanly demeanor? Or should I ask if you are deliberately avoiding me?" Without the plate, Emily had no reason to stay with Leon, which made her ask Leon helplessly.

"Both." Leon thought for a moment and finally answered truthfully.

Emily looked at Leon deeply when she heard this, then sighed and returned to the house silently.

Lyon also sighed and continued to watch over the big iron pot, waiting for the crayfish and braised noodles to be finished.

"You've performed well. I can agree to a reasonable request from you tonight."

As soon as Emily went back, Abigail came back, hugged Leon from the back, and whispered in Leon's ear while standing on tiptoe.

"People should have more trust in each other." Lyon complained helplessly.

"If I get along very well with other boys and hang out with them often, will you trust me?" Abigail asked back.

"Okay, you have a point." Leon put himself in the other person's shoes and found that he could not accept this kind of thing, so he immediately changed the subject.

"What kind of request would not be excessive?" Abigail's face flushed immediately, and then she whispered something in Leon's ear, and buried her face in Leon's back, trying to cool herself down with Leon's back.

"Uh, I've never thought about this kind of thing. Where did you learn that from?" Not only Abigail, but Leon himself couldn't accept the word Abigail said.

Although that was also a kind of fun, as a traditional man, he had never really considered playing it so extravagantly.

"Don't worry about it. I don't want to do it anyway." Abigail warned Leon by hitting him from behind.

"I don't want to either. It's too dirty." Leon replied seriously.

"You dare to look down on me!" Abigail got angry when she heard that, and the strength of her punches suddenly increased a little, but it still gave Leon the feeling of scratching an itch. After all, with his physique, his back muscles were under no pressure when facing the small pink fists that were not very hard.

Leon shrugged his shoulders and silently endured Abigail's shame and anger. This topic was originally brought up by Abigail, so why did he become the victim in the end?
It's a pity that I still don't know where Abigail saw this posture. If possible, Leon would like to know. It would be fun to take it out and watch it together.

After hammering for a while, Abigail also slowed down and walked around to Leon's side, sniffing the smell of crayfish in the iron pot that could not be covered by the lid: "Can I taste it first?"

"of course can."

Lyon would naturally satisfy the request of Abigail, the little greedy cat. He actually had never tasted the saltiness of food until now. It happened that Abigail wanted to eat it, so he could taste it by the way.

Lifting the lid of the pot, Leon faced the heat and smell directly. He was not afraid of the burn and grabbed a crayfish directly from the pot. He deftly took off the tail and peeled off the thick tail shell in his hands, revealing the sauce-colored shrimp meat. Because of the high temperature, the shrimp meat curled up together as soon as it was peeled out, naturally forming the shape of a shrimp ball.

The peeled shrimp tails are actually most delicious when dipped in soup before eating, but considering that he used a little too much seasoning, Leon decided to let Abigail try the version without the soup first.

"Ah." Seeing the shrimp meat that Lyon had peeled, Abigail immediately opened her mouth, waiting for Lyon to feed her.

When Leon handed the shrimp to Abigail's mouth, Abigail not only bit the shrimp, but also bit Leon's finger.

After gently sucking the juice on her fingers, Abigail let go of Leon's fingers and began to taste the shrimp meat.

The shrimp meat is firm and chewy, with a strong fresh shrimp flavor, and a hint of spiciness and numbness mixed in the shrimp meat, but it has more of a sweet taste, not as spicy as Abigail imagined.

"How does it taste?" Looking at Abigail savoring the food in small bites, Leon couldn't wait to ask.

"It's delicious, but a little bland for me. Not as rich and stimulating as I imagined," Abigail answered truthfully.

"Then try this one."

Lyon took out another crayfish and peeled the tail, which was dipped in the soup.

Abigail immediately came over and bit Leon's finger again. Her little tongue curled and slid across Leon's finger and then retracted, taking the shrimp with it.

“Well, this time it tastes great.”

Abigail was very satisfied with the shrimps dipped in the soup. This was the taste she wanted, a duet of numbing and spicy flavors. It stimulated her taste buds while making her feel that all the pores in her body were opened. She felt so refreshed.
