A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 719 Melon Order
With most of the harvest falling into the shipping box, Leon finally remembered to check the mailbox.

The technological life in his previous life made Leon not very sensitive to written letters. The development and popularization of computers and mobile phones replaced the role of letters, so Leon basically ignored mailboxes.

Only when shipping would Leon notice the mailbox next to the shipping box and remember to check the letters inside.

When he opened the mailbox, there were indeed three letters inside. He took them all out and looked at the sender on the envelope. Then, Leon took one of the letters in his hand and hesitated whether to throw it into the trash can.

Because this letter comes from Joja's family.

In the end, Leon opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter.

Leon was quite disgusted by the Joja family's representative blue letter paper and the Joja family logo in every corner of the paper. The content of the letter also made Leon regret opening it instead of throwing it directly into the trash can.

The content of the letter was just a standard commercial promotion, informing the recipient of Joja's new summer product launch and the necessary soft advertising to persuade the recipient to join the Joja supermarket chain as a super member.

It has no value whatsoever, it's just an advertisement.

Throwing it into the trash can, Lyon opened the second letter from the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce.

Dear Mr. Lyon:

Summer is approaching, and the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce reminds you to pay attention to the impact of seasonal changes on crops to avoid unexpected losses.

At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce highly recognizes Red Star Farm's achievements in cultivating high-quality crops, so it hopes that Mr. Lyon can focus on growing melons as much as possible during the summer planting process.

Of course, this is not compulsory, but if you, Mr. Lyon, are interested in this, the Chamber of Commerce will purchase the high-quality melons produced by Red Star Farm at 50% of the higher market price.

There is no upper limit on the number of acquisitions. No matter how much Mr. Lyon can provide, we can provide corresponding compensation based on this acquisition condition, and will further increase the acquisition price based on the number provided.

I wish you a happy life and thank you for your cooperation and trust in the Chamber of Commerce. If you have any questions, Mr. Lyon can contact Jiang Ge, the head of the Chamber of Commerce.

——Traveling Chamber of Commerce

"Buying large quantities of high-quality melons?"

Lyon originally thought that the content of the letter from the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce was about the settlement catalog of shipments, but he did not expect it to be a non-mandatory commission, and a high-value order commission at a premium, which surprised Lyon.

Lyon knew that the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce was greedy for high-quality crops, but it was strange that they only offered a reward for high-quality crops such as melons.

Out of curiosity about this matter, Leon immediately took out his cell phone, found Django's number and called him.

"Good morning, Mr. Lyon, how can I help you?"

Jiang Ge's cheerful voice echoed from the other end of the line, full of energy and enthusiasm. "I just saw a letter from the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce in my mailbox. They want to buy high-quality melons at a high price. What's your situation?"

Leon asked straight to the point.

“This is indeed true, and the purchase price will definitely satisfy you, Mr. Lyon. Not only you, but all farms in the Fingir Republic that can grow high-quality crops have received the same non-mandatory commission.

As for the specific reasons, I am not in a position to disclose them to you because it involves a confidentiality agreement. However, I have a personal speculation, which may not be accurate. Would you like to hear it, Mr. Lyon? "

Django lowered his voice and spoke.

"I'd like to hear more about it." Leon understood Django's words immediately and replied.

"Then I said, the designated purchase of high-quality melons may be the Chamber of Commerce's preparation for the upcoming Summer Carnival. Mr. Lyon may not have heard of this special festival in Stardew Valley, but I have to say that this is definitely the most secretive and luxurious celebration in the Fingir Republic.

Because this celebration was presented by Yuba and organized by the church, the participants were top figures from all walks of life in the Republic of Fingir, including farmers.

"Melons are the main ingredient of this carnival. The more abundant and better quality melons there are, the more likely they are to be offered as sacrifices to Yuba during the carnival's rituals. Farms that receive this honor will receive recognition and support from the church. Of course, this is just my personal speculation, Mr. Leon, just take it for granted," Django reminded.

"What's the use of the church's recognition and support?" Lyon asked.

"Benefits? There are so many. Lifelong tax exemptions, financial support from the church, and the possibility of the church awarding you the Divinely Favored Medal. Holding the medal gives you a passport to the highest echelons of society in this country. After all, you can obtain the best social security and preferential resources. You can say that this medal is proof of aristocratic status in the old society. Moreover, you will also gain the goodwill and respect of all the high-ranking people in this country."

When Django said this, his voice trembled a little.

"Is the church's influence so great?" Leon was quite surprised to hear this. If the church's influence was really so exaggerated, then why didn't he see the church's church in Stardew Valley?

Oh, no, actually there is one, but it is not an independent church, but a prayer room located in Pierre's house.

"Of course, unlike those illusory beliefs, Yuba really exists. He is a truly great god, our father, the starting point of the world and the guide of human civilization." Django admired sincerely.

"I understand, but I don't think it has much to do with me. However, I am quite interested in your intention to purchase high-quality melons at a premium price. I will buy more. But I have a question. When will this acquisition plan end?" Lyon continued to ask.

"It's the last day of summer, so you can safely plant plenty of melons." Django confirmed.

With so much time, three waves of melons should be able to be planted throughout the summer. Lyon will not miss such a good opportunity to make money.

"Okay, I understand. By the way, Django, I want to get some guns. They don't have to be too outrageous, just some ordinary guns. Can you help me with that?"

However, Leon still didn't forget the guns in Sofia's house, so he took this opportunity to consult Django.

"Um, Mr. Leon, are you also interested in these ordinary people's weapons?" Django was stunned when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, Leon was also an explorer who possessed extraordinary powers. Although guns were indeed very lethal, that was only for ordinary people. For monsters, they were no more effective than a wooden stick. Why would Leon want to get these things?
