Fields of Gold – 13

French Grapes

Jade:
I finally mastered nectar making. I am going to visit Champs Les Sims and get some French grapes from their vineyards.

Elijah has passed on.

We are all heartbroken.

We went to Champs Les Sims. Shaun and the teens spent their time reading skill books and playing chess. I explored a tomb at the forgotten burial mound ruins. I found a baseball belonging to the relic merchant, Jolene Montaque. She was happy to have it returned to her.

I found several Avornalino grapes. I also purchased another nectar maker.

Shaun fulfilled his lifetime wish of The Tinkerer. He mastered handiness and logic while at the home base in Champs Les Sims.

Shaun completed lifetime wish

After returning home and putting my purchased nectar into the nectar racks, I completed my lifetime wish. I have 121 bottles of nectar worth §11,059.

As soon as the frost was gone, I planted the Avornalino, Cherimola Blan, and Renoit grapes I obtained in Champs Les Sims into my vineyard. I also planted a pomelo pit with my other fruit trees.

Planting French grapes

Lucas has become a young adult. He has developed my love of outdoors.

Jonboy Fields has also become a young adult. He has decided to change his name to Jonboy Walters. He loves the cold.

Lucas needs to learn how to tend the vineyard, but he is already level three in nectar making. He should pick up gardening quickly and be ready to take over the vineyard. I already have him making nectar.

Lucas:
Mom has me making Fields of Gold Nectar II from regular grapes.

Lucas squishing grapes

While squishing the grapes, I slipped and fell. I’m glad Mom wasn’t there to see me.

I started the nectar maker and waited for it to get done. I then made a batch of Fields of Gold Apple Schnapps.

Mom had a contractor come to expand the nectar room. She had also purchased a second nectar maker, so the contractor installed that as well.

We moved the shelves to the other walls and added an all-in-one toilet, a dirty clothes hamper, and a mini fridge. If I’m going to be spending a lot of time down here making nectar, I might as well be prepared.

Updated nectar room-2

Dad had come to watch me making nectar, but he fell asleep in the rocking chair.

Updated nectar room-1

Mom’s Nectar Making Certification award was hung in the nectar room. The shelves to the left of the door contain 60 of her own nectars. The shelf to the right nearest the door contains 16 more of her own nectars. The remaining two shelves contain 44 nectars she obtained from Champs Les Sims.

I invited Autumn Patel over. We watched the stars together.

Lucas Autumn stars

We didn’t see any stars but we were able to point out shapes and things in the clouds. I invited her to stay over and she agreed.
