A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 810 We Got Rich

After dinner, Abigail used magic to clean the table and tableware, and solved the headache of washing dishes after dinner.

In this regard, Leon could only say that magic was quite useful.

"What are you doing?"

Abigail, who had just finished her meal and was sipping a glass of soda through a straw to fill her stomach, saw Leon starting to dig out the watermelon and immediately asked.

"I prepared some watermelons for you to give as gifts." Leon continued to take out watermelons, patting each one he took out. Although they were all ripe, this habit was hard to change.

"Please, we just finished our meal." Abigail looked at Leon speechlessly. She was planning to take a rest.

"I just took it out first." Lyon explained.

"So, are you going to drive or carry it in that storage bag to Pelican Town?"

"I want to use your bike. Forget driving. You can't get through many places," Abigail replied.

"Okay, that's it. You take a break. I still have to work."

Leon gestured to Abigail to lie on the sofa for a while to digest the food, while he took out a farmer's hat from the box, put it on his head, and went out.

Seeing that Leon was so busy, Abigail stood up and planned to chase him out to help, but was stopped by Leon at the door. After being persuaded by him in every possible way, she reluctantly returned to the house and stared at the watermelons piled on the ground in a daze.

Lyon returned to the field and started picking melons.

Pink round fruits lay quietly on the ground. Each one was quite large and could not be held in one hand.

Hold a melon with both hands and twist it around, and the roots responsible for supplying nutrients to the melon will break directly, allowing Lyon to pick it up.

The rind is very hard and feels solid to the touch. The pink rind is a bit rough, but not bumpy. There is a layer of short hairs on the surface, a bit like a hairy peach, but not prickly.

Because he had a greasy meal at noon and didn't drink much water, Lyon punched the melon open and broke it in half, intending to try it.

The flesh of the cracked melon is light pink with milky white seeds, but not many. To the naked eye, the flesh of the two halves combined is only the amount of a hand.

At the same time, the juice flows out the moment the melon flesh is torn. It smells a bit fresh and a little sweet. It smells a bit like Hami melon, but also has the flavor of cantaloupe. It smells quite good.

I picked up half of the melon and took a bite. The flesh was very crisp, plump and juicy.

The taste is very straightforwardly sweet, and the melon flesh has an icy and stimulating taste, just like it was taken out of the refrigerator, and the coolness it brings is refreshing.

Although the sugar content of melon is not high, it is very refreshing. After chewing and swallowing the melon flesh, the unique mixed fragrance of melon will still remain in the mouth.

“It’s delicious.”

Leon praised the taste of the melon. It's no wonder it's become a classic summer fruit in this world. Before watermelon became popular, it was a perfect substitute. After finishing the whole melon, Leon felt a little full.

I was already 90% full at noon, and a melon is so big that an ordinary person can feel full even if he has nothing to eat and is on an empty stomach.

Lyon picked another one, brought it back to the house, and gave it to Abigail so that she could taste it, while he returned to the field.

The melons were picked one by one and put into the system backpack.

If a wave of harvest that Lyon did not intend to keep had not been sent to the shipping box in advance, the system backpack would probably have been full long ago. Now he has specially cleared three slots just to prepare for Melo.

But after picking about twenty melons, Lyon found that the newly picked melons in his hand could not be stuffed into the system backpack.

Looking at the melons that had occupied three empty spaces in the system backpack, and then looking at the one in his hand, Lyon realized the extraordinary nature of this melon.

Holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully, Lyon found that the size and color of the melon in his hand were not much different from the previous melon. He took out a high-quality melon from his backpack and put them together for comparison. Lyon finally noticed the difference between the two.

That is this special melon, which is a perfect circle without any extra curvature, and it no longer feels rough to the touch, but smooth like a metal ball.

"Is this the perfect quality of Iridium?"

Carefully examining the melon that could not be stored in the system backpack, Leon muttered to himself that this seemed to be the first time he had seen crops of this quality. With so many crops in the morning, they were basically stored in three grids. Now, the melon in his hand was the only one that needed to occupy the fourth storage grid of the system backpack.

Holding the melon, Leon came to the shipping box and threw all the high-quality blueberries that were originally reserved as snacks in his backpack into it. After leaving a grid empty, he successfully put the iridium-quality melon into the system backpack.

Although we can’t see the same star mark in the lower left corner as in the game, the four grids and four types of melons have already proved the special nature of this melon.

With this discovery, Lyon became excited and hurried back to the field to continue picking melons. When all the melons except the two giant ones were put into the system backpack, Lyon immediately opened the system backpack to check.

The four qualities were clearly marked in the system backpack. Interestingly, there were only 14 melons of the most common quality, ranking second from the bottom, while there were 11 melons of perfect iridium quality.

The largest number of melons should be the high-quality Silver Star-level melons, totaling 227, and there are also 178 Gold Star-quality melons.

It is not known whether this scale of quality improvement is due to the fertilizer or the impact of the improved farming level, but one thing Lyon is certain of is that Lyon will make a fortune just by relying on these melons.

Not to mention that there are a series of other mature crops still lying in the system backpack. If all are sold, Lyon’s currently scarce treasury will definitely be replenished again.

"What are you grinning at?" After resting for a while, Abigail felt that the time was almost up and had packed the watermelons and was ready to go out to give them as gifts. However, as soon as she went out, she saw Leon standing in the sun with a silly grin on his face, and she couldn't help but complain.

"We have a great harvest today, we are rich!" Leon immediately ran to Abigail, hugged her tightly and said loudly.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Abigail understood why Leon was laughing so happily, and immediately smiled as well.

"Leon, you're awesome!"
