A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 815 The True Purpose of the Church

Django didn't try to persuade him much. After all, when it came to planting, he believed that he could not compare to farmers like Leon who could grow high-quality crops, even those of perfect quality.

"By the way, the entire amount of the church's melon purchase this time was paid for by our Far Travel Chamber of Commerce, including the last 11 perfect quality melons, totaling 18WG. The extra 5000G is a personal reward from the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the Chamber of Commerce was able to show goodwill to the church this time because of you.

Although the money is not much, it is a token of my appreciation. The most important thing is that the Chamber of Commerce has remembered this favor and will provide better services and channels for the output of Red Star Farm and your purchases in the future."

While eating watermelon, Django was not idle either. He started talking about work with Leon.

"It's no problem for me. Just deposit the money directly into the gift card. I will ship out a large batch of goods later. After all, as you can see, most of my land is empty. I have most of the things in my hands. Although some of them have been put into the shipping box, there are still many left in my hands." Lyon replied.

"It doesn't matter. The Chamber of Commerce can afford whatever you offer, and the price will definitely be the highest." Jiang Ge assured.

"By the way, is the summer carnival held by the church with so many melons just a simple religious activity?" While eating the melon, Lyon recalled Bishop Irving's serious attitude in seeking to verify the high-quality melons, which made Lyon feel that things did not seem simple.

He had wanted to ask about this before, but he felt that it might involve the church's privacy, so he didn't dare ask it in front of Bishop Owen.

Now there are only him and Django in the farm, and he plans to ask Django for some information to satisfy his curiosity.

“It’s not just a religious activity, but an important ceremony.

The perfect crops are a gift to Yuba, proving to Yuba, who is nowhere in the universe, that this world is still full of life and vitality. The purpose of this summer carnival is to use the high-quality melons. The Church will draw on the energy contained in these high-quality melons to strengthen the protective barrier covering the world.

Django immediately began to explain.

"The Church doesn't care about using religious rituals to consolidate its position. As I've said before, the most important purpose of the Church is to maintain the protective barrier left by Yuba. The Church is not interested in worldly fame and power.

Every time the barrier is maintained, the church purchases large quantities of the highest-yielding, high-quality crops of the season. However, this maintenance coincided with the Summer Carnival, and at the suggestion of the higher-ups, the ceremony was made public. Otherwise, this type of maintenance is usually carried out privately by the church.

At this point, Django also became serious.

"If it weren't for the church's dedication and protection of this world, the Far Traveling Merchant Guild wouldn't have provided any financial assistance for the church's purchases. After all, a stable world is beneficial to all life. We are willing to support the church because we are also one of the lives being protected."

"No wonder." Lyon nodded, finally understanding why the Far Travel Chamber of Commerce was so enthusiastic about this matter.

The Church of Man is not what I knew in my previous life. They are truly doing things for the world, not seeking their own benefits and influence under the banner of faith.

"How many people participate in this summer carnival?" Lyon continued to ask.

"Of course, you should know that there are quite a few farms in the Fingir Republic that can grow high-quality crops. While not as impressive as your farm's output, if a nationwide procurement were conducted, the amount of high-quality melons that could be gathered would be enormous, and the amount of money spent would be astronomical. The Church doesn't have any industry, so the vast majority of its funding comes from donations from society, with the royal family contributing the lion's share. The Joja family's contribution is similar to our Chamber of Commerce's. Of course, there's also funding from various states and support from large and medium-sized enterprises. These people will all participate in the event to witness the ceremony, which will be a grand gathering for all the country's elite. So, Leon, don't miss this great opportunity to expand your network."

Django couldn't help but remind Leon when he said this.

"Aren't you invited too?" Leon complained.

"I guess the invitation I can get is just an ordinary one, the kind for the outside. And your invitation is definitely for the inside. We can't compare.

"But even if it's an off-site event, it's actually not bad. Even the off-site attendees are all top figures in various industries in the country." Jiang Ge replied with a smile, not feeling indignant or jealous about this discriminatory treatment. Because for him, the head of the regional chamber of commerce, being able to participate is already a pie in the sky.

"You must be under a lot of pressure when you say that." Lyon's heartbeat quickened when he heard that.

After all, entering the inner field means facing the people at the top of the pyramid in the Fingir Republic, and he is just an "ordinary" farmer.

"Hahaha, that depends on whether you have a big heart. But with the attention of the church, your status is actually not much worse than those big shots. Just enjoy the party." Django patted Leon's shoulder and encouraged him.

Leon smiled and said nothing more. He was just nervous, but not afraid, because he didn't think he had anything to be embarrassed about. After all, they were all human beings with two eyes and a nose. What was there to be afraid of?

Django was also smiling while eating the watermelon. Although Leon said he was nervous, Django did not notice that Leon's expression was awkward. Instead, he was full of confidence. Obviously, Leon was not as fragile as he said.

After eating a whole watermelon with Django, both of them consciously left the watermelon seeds, which were finally collected by Leon.

Although the system did not provide any identification information for the watermelon seeds, which made Lyon less confident in growing real watermelons from these seeds, Lyon still wanted to give it a try.

"My people will be here soon. They'll bring you some selected high-quality seeds. Please purchase according to your needs. I will definitely give you the best price."

After eating the watermelon, Django wiped his hands and talked to Leon about the seed purchasing commission that had been confirmed during the previous phone call.

"Okay, I still believe in the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce. You rest here first, and I will continue to plow the land."

Leon nodded, then gestured to Django to stay under the eaves to cool off, while he picked up a hoe and started to dig the soil.

Watching Leon wielding his hoe in the fields, undeterred by the scorching sun and heat, Django couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Mr. Leon has been able to cultivate so many high-quality crops in such a short time at this farm. Talent and hard work are both essential."
