“Done.
I moved all the mushroom boxes from my house over here.
Don’t disappoint me, little brother.
This cave of yours seems special.” Brushing the dirt off herself, Marisa looked contentedly at the mushroom boxes placed inside the cave.
These mushroom boxes, which were originally inanimate objects, started expanding and contracting like breathing after being placed in the cave for a while.
To Marisa, this strange sight meant that a heavenly treasure was about to be born; it was definitely significant.
“There are 10 mushroom boxes in total.
I won’t charge you, little brother.
When the mushrooms ripen, we’ll cook a feast.
I’m telling you, I’m an expert at cooking mushrooms.” After leaving the cave, Marisa toured the farm at Shiki’s invitation before heading back to prepare the auxiliary ingredients, as Shiki had claimed the mushrooms would ripen daily.
Upon hearing this, Marisa immediately wanted to go back and prepare the materials, saying she would bring Reimu along.
Yakumo Ran also took Chen back.
Shiki had invited them too, but she needed to go back and inform Lady Yukari.
Last time, she only brought back one bowl of fish soup, and Lady Yukari had nagged her for an entire day—it was driving her crazy.
After everyone left, Shiki took out his phone and started posting acquisition requests.
The money Yukari gave him wasn’t useful right now; he should spend what he needed to spend, as saving it wouldn’t make it multiply.
Commission: Acquisition of Sugar, Vinegar, Sealed Glass Jars Commission Details: I require the three items listed above to make pickled garlic.
The higher the quality, the better.
Commission Fee: Sugar 50 per jin, Vinegar 100 per jin, Sealed Glass Jars 50 each Shiki’s phone could actually consume materials to craft jars, which, after ingredients were placed inside, would automatically turn into farm products like pickles, jams, or caviar depending on the contents.
But he couldn’t bear to spend them.
Using the phone function to craft a single jar required 50 units of wood, 40 units of stone, and 8 units of coal.
Since he only harvested 20 units of wood per tree, having to chop down two trees for one jar was ridiculous.
Therefore, Shiki planned to procure items he could make himself through normal means.
Although items crafted using the phone had various effects, the cost was unbearable for Shiki in the early stages.
Having exhausted his stamina early today, Shiki skipped fishing and went back to bed to rest.
Tomorrow was a very special day, and many things would happen.
Day 7.
This was Shiki’s seventh day in Stardew Valley.
At six in the morning, Shiki turned on the TV right on time, and the familiar screen appeared.
Welcome to the Gensokyo Weather Channel, your number one choice for weather, news, and entertainment information.
We now present tomorrow’s weather forecast.
It will rain all day tomorrow, so remember to bring an umbrella when you go out.
Moriya Shrine sells sunny dolls handmade by the gods.
Although they won’t make the weather sunny, they make a nice decoration for your home.
At a price of 50 each, you won’t lose out or be cheated.
If you want one, you can contact Sanae to purchase it~~ Sanae was as cheerful and gentle as ever today.
After the weather forecast finished, she pulled out a white, hanging sunny doll and enthusiastically promoted it.
This was the first time Shiki had seen her promote items on the show.
“A sunny doll, huh…
50 isn’t too expensive.” Today’s weather forecast was completely over, but the TV didn’t switch to static; instead, it changed to a new scene.
The background appeared to be a kitchen that wasn’t very large, with the utensils arranged compactly.
On screen, a small girl with pink hair and wings on her back was tidying up, wearing an apron printed with the words “Night Sparrow Diner.” She appeared to be the owner of this kitchen.
“Mystia Lorelei, the light is on.
Does that mean we’re starting?” A girl’s voice, naturally equipped with echo, mixing, and auto-tune, came from off-screen.
The pink-haired girl who heard the voice quickly wiped her hands and leaned toward the screen to check, her face filling the entire frame.
“Too close, too close!
Mystia Lorelei, stand back a little.
Your face is filling the whole screen.” The girl named Mystia Lorelei visibly blushed, quickly stepped back two paces, and coughed twice to pretend to be calm.
Only then did the “Sauce Queen” program, which aired only every Sunday, officially begin.
“Ahem, hello.
This is the Night Sparrow Diner.
I am the proprietress, Mystia Lorelei, and this is my kitchen assistant, Kyouko.” The camera panned around, and the dark green-haired Kyouko Kasodani waved at the screen.
“As requested by Lord Dragon God, at this time every Sunday, I will teach everyone how to make a dish.
Those who miss it can watch the rerun on Wednesday.
Now, let’s officially start the lesson.” Mystia Lorelei brought up a basket from under the counter, containing the ingredients needed for today.
“The dish we are teaching you to make today is Vegetable Medley Rice Bowl.
The main ingredients are radish, mushrooms, and cabbage.
This is the best way to eat healthy vegetables.
Lightly fry the vegetables with a little oil, add some salt and other seasonings, serve it over a bowl of rice, and a low-oil, low-fat, healthy Vegetable Medley Rice Bowl is complete.” “At the Night Sparrow Diner, this dish is priced at 335 yuan.
It’s a dish very suitable for Youkai who are on a diet.” “It’s also a dish that everyone at Myouren Temple loves very much!” Off-screen, Kyouko Kasodani’s naturally mixed voice chimed in.
She quite liked this dish, and most importantly, you could add unlimited rice if you ran out.
“That’s all for today’s lesson.
Also, the Night Sparrow Diner is buying large quantities of various ingredients, rice, and so on.
Please help us!
If we don’t get ingredients, the Night Sparrow Diner will go bankrupt.” At the end of the program, Mystia Lorelei pitifully leaned toward the screen and made a once-in-a-lifetime plea.
Their Night Sparrow Diner was truly about to go bankrupt, and the ingredients they used today were ones that had been stored for a long time and were no longer fresh.
The TV reverted to static, and today’s television programming was completely finished.
Shiki took out his phone and saw that new information had appeared in the Villager section.

it should be ready tomorrow.” Among the seeds Yukari brought were rice seedlings.
After they mature and are harvested, they will be husked rice.
He doesn’t have a mill here, so he’ll have to ask Yakumo Ran to take it back for processing later.
“Finally, I’ll be able to eat a hot bowl of rice.
These past few days, I’ve just been filling up on water.
I’m so hungry.”
