Radish Salad	Recipe Acquired

· On the first day of summer, I bought seeds from JojaMart. I gifted Sweet Pea to Claire and discovered Peanut Pumpkin seeds.
· This summer, I decided to plant a lot of blueberry seeds to earn money, and also planted other crops one by one for the cooking exhibition.
· The crafting recipe for Quality Sprinklers is learned at Farming Level 6, but since I'm currently Level 5, the 'watering hell' of manual watering has begun.
· In the regular sprinkler area, I planted flowers and hops, and a lot of corn, which is an ingredient for tortillas, planning to use them for summer lunchboxes.

· After half a day of farming, I skipped dinner and ran out of energy. Birch sap had no effect, and the Chanterelle I found in a chest filled 30 hunger, serving as a temporary solution.
· I farmed until I was almost passed out, then fell asleep, and started farming again as soon as I woke up in the morning.
· With nothing to eat, I ate tasteless Algae, and when my energy was completely depleted, I ate the Lucky Lunch I had saved.

· I retrieved the Steel Pickaxe I had left with Clint and raised Leah's friendship by gifting her a Topaz.
· As the farm grew, I installed additional scarecrows due to worries about crows.
· I harvested two peaches from the fruit trees planted on the farm.
· I found the cave Demetrius mentioned, cleared the trees, and discovered a cave full of fruit, which will alleviate food worries for a while. However, the fruit blocked by logs requires a Steel Axe.

· A friend named Susan visited the farm.
· While experiencing watering hell, the coop was completed, and I planned to buy chickens from Marnie.
· I enjoyed exploring trash cans, such as finding wine in Olivia's trash can.
· By mistake, I failed to satisfy my hunger, and my energy dropped to 0, triggering the 'Energy Depletion' debuff. This debuff reduces movement speed by -2, which is critical, essentially wasting a whole day.

· I wondered about the minecart's opening time and hoped to be able to move around the farm.
· I gifted grapes to Susan and recovered energy at the hot spring.
· I made energy bars from tree sap to replenish my energy.
· To the left of the farm, I discovered a new building (presumed to be a barn) blocked by a meteorite.

· For Martin's birthday, I decided to prepare a gift for him, as he doesn't often come to town.
· Susan sent me melon seeds, making me realize the usefulness of the Stardew Valley Expanded NPCs.
· Crops grew, but farming level-up hadn't happened yet; I was hoping for a level-up when blueberries ripened.
· I built a Bee House to collect honey in advance, which Willy likes.
· I was caught by Haley while rummaging through town trash cans, but I was lucky enough to get a Trash Can Hat.
· I searched for Alex and Haley to find the ice cream Martin likes but failed, and no ice cream came out of the Mystery Box either.

· I gave Martin the coffee from the Mystery Box as a birthday gift, achieving 2 hearts with him.
· I needed 5 gold-star melons, so I spread Quality Fertilizer on the fields.
· While fishing late at night by the sea, I met Willy and realized I had forgotten about grinding his friendship.
· I picked up bread from Haley's trash can and had it for breakfast.
· I learned the Grilled Fish recipe from the cooking show.
· The chickens grew and started laying eggs, making various egg-based dishes possible now.

· I made Seaweed Salad with the Outdoor Cooking Kit, fully replenishing my energy and hunger.
· I made a Root Platter, which Marlon likes, and gifted it to him.
· While exploring the mines, I obtained a Level 10 'Holy Blade' from a wooden chest. The Holy Blade has the 'Crusader' enchantment, which deals 50% extra damage to Shadow Monsters and can definitively kill mummies in the Desert Mine.
· I mined gold ore, satisfied my hunger with Seaweed Salad, and obtained Summer Squash seeds and a Diamond.

· Crops grew, but farming level-up hadn't happened yet; I was waiting for the blueberry harvest season.
· To get the cheese needed for Shane's Pepper Poppers recipe, I planned to build a barn and raise cows.
· Next to Robin's house, I caught a Sturgeon, which Willy likes, and from a fishing treasure chest, I obtained and read the 'Jewel of the Sea' book, which increases Roe acquisition rate.
· For Gus's birthday, I gifted him a Diamond to raise his friendship. This was to get the autumn recipes in advance.

· A storm and thunder were forecast for the next day, making me worry about crop damage, but I was happy about the rain.
· I received autumn cooking recipes from Gus.
· I installed a lightning rod for crop protection and battery acquisition.
· At floor 89 of the mines, I obtained an 'Iridium Band,' finally allowing me to use the minecart. I felt happy as the pain in my feet from all the running around disappeared.
· I discovered a mushroom floor, collected a lot of purple mushrooms that the Wizard likes, and broke through to floor 95 of the mines.
· I continued my survival story, facing difficulties in energy management amidst summer cooking preparations, large-scale farming, and the hunger mod.
