On Sunday, I started up the game to get some footage for a video I was working on. In particular, I needed footage of the flea market, my natural paths (under my green brick tiles, which I removed in some areas), and red turnips. I quickly spotted Joan, so I bought a red turnip seed for 1,000 bells. I then buried it, watered it, and later dug it up.
![Look at that! I dug up a red turnip!](https://www.jvgs.net/accfblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/accf-red-turnip-sm.jpg)
Because I dug it up on the same day, it only sold for 2 bells. 😆 You’re supposed to water it every day, and then sell it after a week for the full 16,000 bells.
As for the flea market, I bought an orange chair from Clyde (566 bells), a red tie-dye from Midge (164 bells), and a mochi pestle from Ruby (552 bells). I was just being a good neighbor. 😛
![Ruby: I scratch your back, you scratch mine! ...But not too hard, li'l ears.](https://www.jvgs.net/accfblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/accf-ruby-scratch-sm.jpg)
I also went home so that a villager could buy from me. Antonio showed up, and you can see what he bought in my video at the end of this entry.
I played again today, and Nana wanted me to catch her a giant snakehead! Those things are so rare, I knew I’d never find it in time. So I had to decline her request. Sorry, Nana.
![Nana: Mint and I decided that it would be a good idea for me to have a pet giant snakehead!](https://www.jvgs.net/accfblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/RUU_7981-sm.jpg)
When I ran into Clyde, he told me that he’s been thinking of moving out of town. He’s only lived here about six weeks! But still, I didn’t stop him from moving. He’s not leaving immediately, but probably by next week.
![Clyde: Y'know, li'l guy, I've been thinking of moving out of Forest.](https://www.jvgs.net/accfblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/RUU_7982-sm.jpg)
I was a bit confused when I went into a house in the northeast part of town. Monty was there, and he said it was nice to meet me. For one thing, he was already unpacked!
![Monty: Call me Monty! I just rolled into town and decided to stay, at least for a while.](https://www.jvgs.net/accfblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/RUU_7983-sm.jpg)
So that means he must’ve moved in on Sunday, and I didn’t notice his house. I do already have three other villagers in that little neighborhood, so it is easy to overlook somebody (especially when I didn’t even know he was there).
But also, Monty is another returning villager. He lived in Forest from 2019-2020; I didn’t care for him then, and I doubt I’ll care for him now. 😆
I found Mint enjoying some coffee at the Roost. She was commenting on his shelves full of gyroids.
![Mint: Hmm. Ever notice that Brewster likes to decorate his shelves with gyroids?](https://www.jvgs.net/accfblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/RUU_7985-sm.jpg)
In the city, Maple was enjoying the hustle and bustle of the city. Phineas was also there, as were Egbert, Bella, Elvis, and Pecan. (Phineas gave me an indigo balloon.)
![Maple: This is the best time of day to be in the city. Lots of hustle, lots of bustle, honey.](https://www.jvgs.net/accfblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/RUU_7986-sm.jpg)
By the way, my bank account balance just topped 63 million bells. So I’m well on my way to meeting my summer goal, needing just about a million bells during August. I should have no trouble doing that, even though I didn’t do any bug hunting today.
A quick note about items: I found a garbage can in a balloon present on Sunday, and I found a stove in the recycle bin today.
As for the video I mentioned earlier, it’s a look at co-exclusive features in the Animal Crossing series. As you might expect, City Folk has a lot of features in common with Wild World, that don’t appear in the other games. But you might not realize it also has a lot in common with New Leaf too! Check it out and see for yourself!
