A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 807 Busy, so busy!
"Wow, it's a watermelon!"

Just as Lyon was holding the watermelon and thinking about it, Abigail also noticed the big thing in Lyon's hand. She immediately widened her eyes and came over and shouted.

"Do you know her?" Leon was stunned when he heard Abigail's words.

"Of course, although I haven't seen it often, at least I have eaten it once." Abigail rolled her eyes and complained unhappily.

Because Lyon's question was very rude. Although watermelon is not a plant native to the Republic of Fingir, technological development has long achieved the exchange of global commodities.

Although this specialty fruit, which only grows on Paradise Island in the Gem Sea, is extremely rare and expensive, it also appears in the Republic of Fingir.

Abigail had seen watermelons at a school anniversary party. Although there were only a few, Abigail was lucky enough to get a slice.

Abigail still has a vivid memory of the unique sweet taste of this novel fruit.

Seeing that this rare fruit that is worth a lot of money was actually grown on the farm in Lyon, Abigail was not only surprised but also proud.

Because watermelons are rare and expensive, many agricultural scholars have tried every possible way to study how to introduce them into the Republic of Fingir for cultivation, but all have failed without exception. Either the seeds do not germinate, or the watermelons grown are only the size of a fist and are completely inedible.

But now this fruit that gives many people a headache is actually grown by Leon. How can Abigail, who has already regarded Leon as her future husband, not be proud of it?

"Leon, if you publish your experience in growing watermelons as a paper, it will surely shock the entire agricultural community."

Thinking of this, Abigail couldn't help but remind Leon.

“Is it difficult to grow watermelon?”

Lyon recalled his watermelon planting process. It seemed that he just dug a hole, buried some soil, counted one, two, three, five, and then watered it every day and never took care of it again.

"Isn't it easy?" Abigail looked at Leon puzzledly and asked back.

Leon shook his head, then asked Abigail about the watermelon information in this world. After getting Abigail's explanation, he thought for a moment and came up with an answer.

Perhaps watermelons are indeed not suitable for the climate of the Republic of Fingir, but the fact that they can be grown and mature successfully must be related to the soil that was originally sent here along with the seeds.

But Lyon was actually completely in the dark about the origin of that soil.

"Forget about the paper. My ability to grow watermelons actually has nothing to do with me. It's probably related to the soil that was sent along with the watermelons. If I were to grow them, the results would probably be similar to those of the agriculturists. After all the watermelons are eaten and the seeds are left, I'll give it another try."

Thinking of this, Leon was not sure if he could grow watermelons without soil, and immediately explained to Abigail.

"Is that so? That's such a shame." Abigail felt a little regretful, but quickly cheered up: "But I believe you will succeed. In my heart, you will always be the best farmer."

"Well, I'll work hard so that I can achieve watermelon freedom in the future."

Lyon smiled and nodded in agreement. If possible, he didn't plan to grow only one crop of watermelons. After all, they used to be eaten as a meal in the summer. Now he had to spend a lot of money to buy them, and there was no demand for them. It was too outrageous.

And if it really succeeds, the commercial value and benefits it contains will probably be no less than high-quality crops. This is definitely a project that can make a lot of money.

"So this is what watermelon vines look like."

After encouraging Leon, Abigail squatted down and carefully examined the watermelon vines. After all, it was her first time seeing them, and she was just curious. "Help me! Let's pick all the watermelons and give them to everyone in town. After all, they're good stuff, so let everyone have a taste."

Leon put away the watermelon in his hand and tapped Abigail on the head to remind her.

"Are you really willing to do that? This watermelon is not cheap." Abigail looked at Leon in surprise and reminded him.

"So what? At worst, we can plant them later. Good things should be shared. But you have to tell them to remember to keep the seeds. I'll see if I can grow seedlings and plant another batch." Leon complained helplessly to Abigail.

Then he couldn't help but teased: "You, you've already started thinking about your family before you even get married. That's good."

"Hmph." Abigail snorted proudly, turning her head away, but she couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth.

Leon then started picking watermelons with Abigail.

There were 80 seeds in Lyon's hands at that time, and the number of watermelons picked was exactly .

Each one was the same size and appearance, with no obvious difference, but the sheer quantity of the harvest left Abigail speechless with astonishment.

"If you sell all these watermelons, you might get rich, Leon."

Although all the watermelons were put into the system backpack by Lyon, Abigail knew that this harvest was not bad, and could not help but remind Lyon.

"It's just a small amount of money. The big money is from those melons." Lyon waved his hand and pointed to the melons with the largest number and the largest planting scale in the field.

Not to mention those ripe melons, the value of the two giant melons alone will definitely not disappoint people. The last giant cauliflower was auctioned for 18000G, which is outrageous compared to the price of 20G per piece of ordinary cauliflower.

It is conceivable how popular giant plants are in this world. Although they may not taste better than high-quality cauliflower, due to their uniqueness and rarity, they are extremely tempting even if you buy them as ornaments.

"Oh, yes, you also planted so many melons."

Abigail now remembered that there was still a large amount of melons that had not been harvested.

Moreover, according to her observation, the color and size of the melons in Lyon's fields are visibly much better than those bought in her own store. At the very least, they are of guaranteed high quality. There should even be quite a few high-quality crops, and there is even the possibility of melons of perfect quality.

If this is the case, then the profits brought by these melons will definitely not be much worse than those of watermelons.

"Don't look at it anymore. Harvest the other crops first. You haven't even finished picking all the strawberries and blueberries yet, and there's still half of the pumpkins left. Not to mention the peppers, corn, eggplant, artichokes, grapes, starfruit, sunflowers and other flowers over there. We have too much to do."

Seeing Abigail staring at the melons in thought, Leon reminded Abigail helplessly.

There are so many kinds of fruits, vegetables and flowers planted in the fields, including plants from spring, summer and autumn. Although the scale of cultivation of most crops is not large, the total number is extremely large. These are all ripe and need to be picked and harvested.

Moreover, after the harvest, the soil must be turned over and sown again to avoid wasting the effect of the mini golden bell, which can only be used for one quarter. Lyon also has to replant a large number of high-economic crops, save money, and gain farming experience points to obtain the barrels unlocked by level 8 farming as soon as possible and start the winemaking plan.

Originally, Leon was going to sacrifice some of his harvesting experience to make Abigail happy, but now it seems that this guy's efficiency is ridiculously low. He has been so busy that he has already harvested several crops, and this guy hasn't even picked all the blueberries and strawberries. If this continues, it will be a big problem whether he can plow the soil and sow again today.
