However, Starlight Restaurant's spring best-selling product—hash cakes—can't find the raw materials.
It's worth noting that on spring nights, people's love for chilled drinks isn't as fervent as it is in summer.
On the contrary, the combination of hash browns and juice is more popular, which is also the mainstay of Starlight Restaurant's spring sales.
But now the raw materials for hash browns are unavailable, and the juice comes with hash browns. If it were sold separately, not many customers would be willing to buy it.
How could Lance not be anxious?
He now sees Fang Gu as a lifeline and clings to him desperately.
Fang Gu thought for a moment and said, "I can sell you potatoes, and I can even sell them to you at the original price."
Upon hearing this, Lance's eyes lit up with joy, and he was about to shake Fang Gu's hand tightly to express his gratitude.
But Fang Gu continued, "However, I hope to buy the recipe for Starlight Restaurant's hash browns."
Lance frowned slightly. Did Fang Gu, a rancher, want to steal his business?
Fang Gu realized that Lance might have misunderstood something and said, "I'm not trying to steal your business. I just want to try making them myself. I personally really enjoy eating hash browns."
"It's just that the Starlight Restaurant is in town, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, so I thought I'd try it at home."
Fang Gu was telling the truth. In his previous life, he was a loyal fan of M Breakfast. However, although M's hash browns were delicious, they were a bit salty.
Upon hearing this, Lance's expression immediately improved. He hesitated for a moment and said, "If Fang Gu Rancher is willing to sell me the potatoes, there's no need to mention any purchase."
"Actually, I learned how to make hash browns from the show 'Sauce Queen,' but I made some slight modifications."
"Peter, you should have a pen and paper here, right?"
Lance intended to write down the recipe and give it to Fang Gu, but Fang Gu waved his hand.
"Let's wait until this afternoon, when you come to pick up the potatoes, then give them to me."
[Ding! Lance's favorability +100]
[Ding! Peter's favorability +50]
Fang Gu took the reserved strawberry seeds from Peter and asked Peter to go to Stardew Valley Ranch that afternoon as well.
After all, a single Starlight Restaurant couldn't possibly consume all the potatoes from Stardew Valley Ranch.
Moreover, potatoes have another characteristic: sometimes there is more than one potato hidden under the potato plant.
As for how many potatoes a potato plant can yield, that depends on today's luck.
But when it comes to luck, Fang Gu has never been afraid!

Inside the airport in Miare,
With the umbrella-shaped electric lizard perched on her shoulder, Ms. Pansy asked in confusion, "Ash, you've been staring at your phone the whole time. Is there some important information?"
Ash, with Pikachu perched on his shoulder, scratched his head sheepishly: "Actually, a streamer I really like is about to start broadcasting, and I wanted to support him."
"Pikachu and I both love the various food recipes he photographs!"
"Right, Pikachu?"
Ash turned to ask Pikachu on his shoulder.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu wiped the drool from its mouth and smiled sheepishly.
"Is he going to make some lost delicacy on his live stream today?" Miss Pansy's eyes lit up; as a reporter, she seemed to smell some big news!
"Uh...it seems like today's live stream is about digging potatoes..."
Xiao Zhi scratched his head awkwardly, then found his account on Douyin.
"This TikTok user seems to be from the Kalos region, specifically in Crescent Town, in Wing City. Is Crescent a Pokémon unique to the Kalos region?"
Miss Pansy looked at the account Ash showed and slowly read aloud, "Stardew Valley Ranch?"
Chapter 107 The Little Postman of Stardew Valley - Three Bees
Stardew Valley Ranch.
With a Poké Ball containing three large Miltank, Fang Gu passed by the chicken coop on the way.
The chicks inside, clucking, quacking, and cooing, have shed their bright yellow chick appearance and are now covered in gorgeous feathers, making them look even more plump.
They are the egg-laying experts of Stardew Valley Ranch.
Now, these hens lay three to four eggs a day, which can fetch fifty Union Coins each if sold on the market.
However, Fang Gu usually keeps these eggs for himself.
After all, most dishes require eggs. Eggs that you produce yourself are not only healthier, but they can also trigger the [Cook's Chain] effect, which improves the quality of the dishes.
While the mother hens were foraging for food, Fang Gu quietly took the eggs from the henhouse.
I also petted the mother hens.
This can improve their mood.
If these mother hens maintain a high mood for a period of time, they may lay more valuable, larger eggs, which can cost almost twice as much as regular eggs.
"If there were a mayonnaise machine, the price of these eggs might be even higher."
The mayonnaise machine is a crafting device unlocked in the crafting catalog when farming reaches level 2. It can process eggs into mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise costs four times as much as eggs!
The materials needed to make it are nothing more than common wood, stone, a unit of copper ingot, and some resin.
However, since Fanggu did not raise hens on a large scale, it did not manufacture such equipment.
I think I've just retrieved copper and iron ingots from the blacksmith's shop; next time I'll make another mayonnaise maker.
After all, mayonnaise and bread are a perfect match!
"If Stardew Valley Ranch had a family like the Happy Eggs, maybe we could use their eggs to make mayonnaise."
Blissey is the evolved form of Chansey, a kind-hearted Pokémon full of love, and a Pokémon that brings happiness. The egg it carries is said to be a wondrous egg filled with happiness.
There is a rumor that anyone who eats a Blissey egg, even just a bite, will become gentle and kind to everyone, and even the most brutal Pokémon will become mild-mannered.
There are even other sayings that eating the egg in the "happiness egg" will bring you happiness.
These rumors were so incredible that Fang Gu couldn't help but feel a longing for them.
However, Chansey is an extremely rare Pokémon, and it only appears in front of kind-hearted people.
Just like the Joy girls at the Fairy Center.
In regions like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, Nurse Joy at Pokémon Centers will have a Chansey as her partner.
Of these, only a small percentage of Chansey that share the same mindset as their trainers can evolve into Blissey.
"Who knows, maybe Stardew Valley Ranch will get a Chansey or a Blissful Egg someday?"
Fang Gu, envisioning the future, stepped out of the chicken coop and took out an exceptionally luxurious-looking flute from his small bag.
It was the Pokémon flute that AZ gave him.
Fang Gu put the Pokémon Flute to his lips and gently blew it. A melodious flute sound seemed to travel through eternity, sometimes near and sometimes far, causing the surrounding Pokémon to prick up their ears to listen.
Before long, a three-horned bee, resembling one carrying a small schoolbag, leisurely flew towards Fang Gu.
Place the eggs in the backpack carried by the three bees and let them take them back to the cabin.
The four little bees of Stardew Valley Ranch, thanks to the expansion of the Secret Garden, can gather the nectar they need to produce for their sweet honey production, which the flowers in the Secret Garden can easily provide.
So recently, these three honeybees have been active in Stardew Valley Ranch, and Fang Gu doesn't want to waste this great workforce.
I stayed up all night knitting small bags for the three bees so they could carry them on their backs.
Because the wings of the three-necked bee are located on the sides of its body, it does not affect its ability to fly, and can even be called a way to improve the physical fitness of the three-necked bees.
At the same time, they were trained to stop what they were doing and fly towards Fanggu as soon as they heard the sound of the Pokémon Flute.
AZ never imagined that his perfectly good Pokémon Flute would become a rallying cry for Fang Gu to exploit Pokémon labor.
The three bees thus became little postmen roaming the Stardew Valley ranch, helping Fang Gu deliver items.
However, these three bees can only transport things to Old Moon Bird Town at most, and Fang Gu doesn't dare to let them go too far away from Stardew Valley Ranch.
After all, they are not like bird Pokémon, which have great flight speed and the ability to distinguish directions.
"We still need to consider catching some bird-type Pokémon."
Fang Gu fed the three bees the bouncy cream he carried with him. The bees were overjoyed, took a bite, and flew towards the cabin with their transparent wings fluttering.
I don't have to work, and I can eat such delicious food. All I have to do is fly and fly.
How could there be such an easy job in the world?
The three bees wore joyful expressions as they worked for Fang Gu, and were also deeply grateful to him.
He truly deserves to be called a model worker in the Pokémon world!
Fang Gu's next destination is the Elf House, which is the place it has prepared for the big milk tanks to live.
Originally, the Elf's Hut was the dwelling of the three bees, and Fang Gu had previously placed the beehives there.
However, this decision seems to have had the opposite effect, as the three bees already have a hive, which is essentially their home.
But every time they went out of their house, they found that there was another layer outside. Although the elf house was not small, it was still far smaller than the flower field where they usually worked and played.
During their time at the Fairy House, the honey production of all three bees decreased.
Fortunately, the three female bees found Fang Gu early on. With the help of diplomat Miao Miao and Fang Xiaolu, Fang Gu and the three bees finally reached a consensus.
Have Robin create a shanty-like extended area on the side of the Elf's Hut.
Fang Gu moved all the beehives under this shed.
In this way, the three bees can go out to collect nectar anytime, anywhere.
At the same time, in weather like rain, when the bees cannot go out, they can simply hide inside the hive.
The canopy that Robin added above perfectly keeps rainwater out, preventing it from getting into the beehive.
