A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 5 Working Overtime
When the pizza was delivered to Leon, looking at the whole pizza as big as the mouth of a washbasin, Leon swallowed his saliva. He had to say that in terms of the portion, it surpassed all the pizzas he had ever eaten at, because this was a giant pizza that was over 14 inches!
Normally, a pizza of this size can feed three or four people together, but when it was presented in front of Leon, he was shocked.

Seeing the surprised Leon, Gus leaned over to Leon's ear and whispered, "This is specially made for you. Life on the farm requires a lot of calories. And even if you can't finish it, you can take it away and save it for tomorrow morning, right?"

"Thank you." Thinking that his farm cottage did not have any ingredients to cook for himself, and that even Leon himself would not know how to prepare breakfast tomorrow morning, he immediately thanked Gus.

This chubby bar owner and chef is still so thoughtful.

Gus smiled and reminded, "Alright, eat it while it's hot. In fact, if you're too busy, you can come to me and order food. I'll have it delivered to your farm, so you don't have to come to town just for a meal."

"I'll consider it." Leon nodded in response. After all, this was a basic need. His wooden house did not have the kitchen utensils for cooking.

Pick up a piece of pizza that has been cut in advance and put it in your mouth. The fragrant cheese accompanied by the soft pizza crust gives you great satisfaction. This is an American pizza, not as traditional as Italian pizza, with more ingredients, but this does not hinder its deliciousness.

In addition to the essential cheese and butter, the pizza is also sprinkled with basil and sliced ​​ham, and flavored with onions and black pepper, making every bite irresistible.

When you are hungry, carbohydrates are always the best gas station. After eating three large pieces in a row, even Leon felt a little full. Looking at the five slices left, Leon finished the peach juice with difficulty.

"Eat up, Gus, you're a really good cook, this was a great dinner."

Gus smiled smugly upon hearing this: "Of course, as long as you're full, I'll pack the rest for you."

Watching Gus help him pack the remaining pizza, Leon thanked him and looked at the situation in the bar.

Although many people looked at me curiously when I first arrived, now everyone is basically drinking and chatting by themselves, including Jody who brought me here, who also found some familiar friends to drink beer with.

At this time, Leon remembered that he still owed Jody a beer, and immediately said to Gus: “Jody’s beer is on me, Gus, how much is it?”

"20," Gus replied, glancing at the beer in front of Jody.

Lyon was stunned when he heard this. The price was much higher than he expected, but he still paid the money.

"Are you wondering why the price is so high?" Gus noticed Leon's distress and asked cheerfully.

"Yes." Leon didn't feel embarrassed. After all, this was a very normal thing. Except for the nouveau riche, few people didn't care about the price when buying things.

"Because Jodi bought four draft beers. She doesn't drink alone," Gus explained. "Maybe she didn't even know you were buying her a drink. Otherwise, from what I know about Jodi, she would have just ordered a bottle of stout."

"It's okay, let's just make friends." Leon didn't dwell on this issue. He picked up the packed pizza, said goodbye to Gus, and walked up to Lewis.

"Lewis, I'm going back to the farm. Thank you for dinner. This is indeed a great bar." Lewis put down the glass in his hand and patted Leon on the shoulder: "Of course, young man, you are going back to the farm, right? Remember to rest early. I will go to see you again tomorrow morning. Remember not to get up too late."

"Okay." Leon didn't care about Lewis's proposal to visit. After all, he was the mayor of Pelican Town, and it was only natural for him to care about the local farms.

After saying hello to Marnie and Jodie, whom he had just met, Leon embarked on his journey back to the farm.

It should be said that although this is a small suburban town, there is no neon light pollution. When you look up, you can see the starry sky and the full moon. Occasionally, the breeze blowing from the valley carries the fragrance of flowers into Lyon's nostrils, which is quite pleasant.

There are not many people in the square at this time. It seems that most people here follow the habit of working from sunrise to sunset.

After leaving Pelican Town, the dirt road leading to the farm was not too dark. The light provided by the moon and stars was enough for Lyon to see the road clearly. He returned to his farmhouse smoothly. Lyon glanced at the quiet farm under the moonlight and felt itchy again.

After placing the packaged pizza in the house, Leon came to the land closest to the cabin, took out a pickaxe, and began to clear the rubble on the ground.

It stands to reason that it would be most convenient and appropriate to clean these piles of rubble by hand, but since it is a pickaxe produced by the system, it should also have its special features, just like the sickle that he used during the day.

Sure enough, when a pickaxe hit the rubble pile, Lyon felt a clear recoil, and the rubble pile began to collapse. It did not disappear directly like weeds, but shrank in size.

Another pickaxe hit, and the pile of rubble became even smaller. When the third pickaxe hit it, the pile of rubble collapsed directly and turned into fist-sized stones scattered on the ground.

"Stone (resource): A common material with a wide range of uses in construction and crafting."

After putting these stones into his backpack, Lyon discovered that under these stones there were actually two black charcoal blocks reflecting the moonlight.

"Coal (resource): A combustible ore that can be processed and smelted."

It was an unexpected harvest, but it did not surprise Lyon, because there was indeed a chance of finding coal after collecting stones from the farm. However, compared to these basic materials, he wanted to knock out rare things like crystal balls.

If you take that thing to a blacksmith and crack it open, you can get a lot of things out of it, even some rare minerals that cannot be obtained in the mines. Whether you sell it or donate it to a museum to get a reward, it will be an extremely good return.

It can be regarded as a kind of mineral blind box, which is very interesting.

Not getting any crystal balls was no big deal, so Lyon continued to clean up the rubble.

After finally clearing the entire piece of land without any debris, Lyon put away his pickaxe, took a short rest, and then took out his hoe to prepare for the most important ceremony before farming: turning the soil.
