A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 808: All Experience
Perhaps it was because Leon was watching, or perhaps Abigail felt that if she continued playing like this, only Leon would suffer, so she harvested the harvest much faster this time.

Lyon was not idle either. He gently picked up the carambolas growing on the top of the individual plants, one by one, like Christmas stars on a Christmas tree, and the carambolas fell into his hands intact.

Although it is called carambola, the carambola in this world actually looks similar to a five-pointed star biscuit, with a standard flat shape, which is quite different from the cylindrical shape that Lyon is familiar with, but it is called this name.

After taking a sip, I found that the taste was very different from the star fruit I had eaten in Lyon. If I really had to pick out the difference between the two, it might be that the flavor of this five-pointed star star is richer, slightly sweet with a strong sour taste, but not as exaggerated as lemon. Instead, it is more like the sour and sweet mixed taste of bayberry, which becomes sweeter the more you chew it.

"I also want."

Seeing Leon eating the star fruit, Abigail, who had just started working, couldn't help but come over and ask for the star fruit with a corner bitten off in Leon's hand.

"Give you all."

Leon handed the star fruit he had only taken a bite of to Abigail, watched her sucking the juice happily but not biting it, shook his head speechlessly, and continued to pick other star fruits.

"Long-term farming gives you a deeper understanding of how to grow crops, and your farming level rises by one level.

In order to keep the soil moist and avoid repetitive work, you have come up with better moisturizing techniques, and the advanced moisturizing soil formula has been unlocked.

At the same time, you have not forgotten to consider animal husbandry while developing farming. You have learned the skills to process various collected animal fur into cloth, and the loom formula has been unlocked.

Advanced soil moisture retention (fertilizer) *2: This special soil, when added to the soil, has a high probability of locking in water loss, which can greatly reduce the work of watering crops. Materials: Stone *3, Clay *1
Loom (Artisan Product): Transform animal hair into beautiful cloth. Materials: Wood*60, Fiber*30, Pine Tar*1"

After picking a star fruit, the system immediately reminded Lyon that his farming level had been upgraded and unlocked the production options for two new recipes.

Seeing that his farming level was only one level away from reaching level 8, a prerequisite for unlocking the small barrel recipe, Lyon looked at the fruits and vegetables waiting to be harvested in the fields and became more motivated.

"Abigail, I'll take care of the fields while you prepare lunch, okay?"

I don't know if I can reach level eight after harvesting all the crops, but how can I know if I don't try? So Leon plans to let Abigail leave the field first and go work somewhere else, and prepare to accept the full farming experience provided by the harvest.

"But there are so many, can you handle it?" Abigail couldn't help but remind her as she looked at the majority of the crops still to be harvested.

"Of course you can. Besides, the sun is getting stronger, and I don't want to see you get tanned. And if I'm so busy, I can't help but eat something to replenish my energy, so I'm relying on you to fill my stomach."

Leon smiled and comforted Abigail.

"Well, I'll make you whatever you want to eat!" When Abigail heard this, she thought Leon was feeling sorry for her, and immediately asked Leon with emotion.

"Anything is fine, as long as you do it, I like it." Leon flattered decisively.

"I am increasingly suspicious that you were a playboy in the past." Although Abigail was satisfied with Leon's answer, she always felt that Leon's spontaneous love words made him look dishonest, so she complained unhappily.

"This is my answer from the bottom of my heart." Leon walked up to Abigail and kissed her on the forehead, then pushed her out of the field and brought her into the house.

After Abigail entered the house, Leon returned to the field and continued his work.

After the carambolas were harvested, the grapes from the adjacent fields were next. The vines, climbing on the trellises Lyon had prepared, weren't particularly tall or dense, but that didn't stop them from producing beautiful bunches of grapes. Each vine held more than a single grape, with some bearing three bunches, and others five or six. Considering the vast array of plants Lyon cultivated, this was considered a high-yield crop.

I picked a grape from a bunch and put it in my mouth. It had the familiar grape flavor, with a moderate sweetness and sourness, and the flesh was quite elastic.

Although there is a core, it is very small and you don't need to pay special attention to it. You can swallow it along with the chewed flesh without any discomfort in your throat. The eating experience is very good.

There is just one grape missing from the whole bunch, which destroys the overall integrity and beauty. You only need to take a glance to notice that the bunch of grapes is obviously out of harmony and is obviously not suitable to be thrown into the shipping box as a commodity.

We continue to be busy. After the grape harvest, it is time to go to the cornfield.

Each plant is a little over two meters tall, and each corn has already poked its head out from among the corn leaves. The corn silk at the top is as dense as hair and reddish-brown in color. The exposed corn kernels are plump and beautiful, and their golden luster is quite dazzling in the sun.

But the yield is not outstanding. There are only two corns on each corn stalk, one on each side, staggered into two layers.

However, as long as the corn stalks are not cut down, all the corn will produce new corn cobs after being picked before winter comes. This can be regarded as compensation for the low yield, so Lyon does not feel too disappointed.

Moreover, Leon really missed the feeling of breaking off corn cobs. When he helped his family do this as a child, he felt hot, tired, itchy, and there was also the danger of his skin being cut by the sharp corn leaves.

But now, Lyon has a different feeling about breaking corn.

"Let's cook some corn for lunch and dry some to make popcorn."

While breaking the corn, Lyon couldn't help but have some thoughts about corn in his mind.

After all, the texture and taste of corn, as well as the various nutrients it is rich in, have made it one of the world's recognized economic crops and staple food choices. It can be cooked in a variety of ways and is delicious no matter how it is cooked.

Moreover, they don’t eat the corn they grow themselves, otherwise they would be a laughing stock to those who are dressed in silk and silk and to those who raise silkworms.

Lyon would never admit that he was greedy.

After picking the corn and walking around the lush cornfield, Lyon next faced an area mixed with eggplants and peppers.

Both crops are also sustainably harvested and have the same plant height.

Lyon planted the two crops together out of habit and his parents' teachings when he was a child. They spoke from experience, and Lyon later realized the benefits of planting the two crops together.

Because both are Solanaceae plants, and their requirements for environmental temperature and sunlight are very similar, and growing eggplant and pepper together will also have a mutual influence and promotion effect, although there is also the risk of encountering common diseases and leading to the crisis of mutual infection.

But so far, the biggest threat to Lyon's fields is only crows, and problems such as diseases and pests have never appeared, so this shortcoming can be ignored, and the rest are all benefits.

Thinking of this, Lyon couldn't help but sigh at the preciousness of the farming experience passed down by his ancestors for thousands of years. At that time, there were not so many professional agricultural researchers and instruments to trace the roots, but through observation and experimentation, they still found out the various connections and symbiotic characteristics between plants.
